The Initial Consult
After receiving your inquiry, we'll meet on a video call to get to know each other, hear your wedding day vision and determine if we're a good fit!
Let's Make It Official
You know we’re the perfect addition to your team of wedding artists, and are ready to make it official! All you’ll need to do is sign the contract and pay the 25% deposit to reserve the date!
The Engagements
We include engagements in our packages because we feel that they are a beautiful time to get to know one another, and to help you start to get comfortable in front of the camera! We do most of our engagement shoots in Austin, but we’ve traveled everywhere from West Texas to Paris for our clients’ engagement shoots! If you want a custom travel quote, let us know!
Logistics & Planning
From family list questionnaires ensuring nobody gets left out of family photos, to being in contact with your planner to make sure we have the right amount of time budgeted, to our final calls with you a couple of weeks before the wedding. We're here to make sure the flow works for what you're biggest priorities are.
It's Wedding Day!
We, Kelsey & Talon, arrive ready to document the art that is your wedding day. We don’t take it lightly that you’ve trusted us to document one of the most pivotal moments in your life, and we love taking what’s in front of us and creating art from it.
Final Gallery Delivery
1 week after the wedding, we send you a preview gallery to enjoy while we are editing your full collection using our signature style. You'll receive your fully edited image collection 10-12 weeks after the wedding date in an online gallery. From there you can download and safe-keep the digitals, order prints, and cherish your gallery for years to come!

Frequent questions
If you don't see your perfect fit, or if you're getting married outside of Austin, let us know and we can create a bespoke package. All packages include digital & film photography, tax, and travel within the Austin area.
How long have you been photographing weddings?
Q.
a.
We photographed our first wedding together in the summer of 2010. We went full time, in January 2012 as Feather & Twine. We rebranding to Ruét Photo in 2024. Together, we have photographed over 350 weddings.
Short answer, a long time!
Can we meet with you before we decide to book?
Q.
a.
In fact, we actually meet up with all of our clients before signing any contracts! Beyond having beautiful wedding photos, we feel that it is so important to have a photographer who you connect with. Connection is everything, and allows you to have images that really feel like you!
Short answer, absolutely!
How many photos can we expect? How long is the turnaround time?
Q.
a.
10-12 weeks after your wedding, we deliver fully edited, high-resolution files in your online gallery that will be complementarily available for a year and a USB that's mailed to you. We don't have any guaranteed photo minimum or maximum amounts, we shoot and curate the gallery based on how it felt to be there (amount of guests, amount of coverage, etc). In general, you can expect about 100 images per hour of coverage. For engagements, the turnaround time is 4-6 weeks, and you can expect between 100-200 images.
Short answer, 10-12 weeks.
How can I make my wedding photos as amazing as possible?
Q.
a.
Here's the truth: 1. Hire expert wedding artists you trust and enjoy spending time with. 2. Don't sweat the small stuff. In order to create art and photograph the true essence of your love, we need trust and vulnerability from the people in front of our lenses. It's okay to let out the emotions, it's okay to be yourself, and the more you let us in to your life the more your images will reflect that trueness.
Short answer, let the day flow and enjoy being in the moment.
Do you sell albums or any print products?
Q.
a.
You'll receive your images in an online gallery, with an integrated & personalized shop so you can see what your images would look like on all the products! If you click on the full galleries module below, you'll be able to navigate in to a gallery shop. We are in the process of building a bespoke album program for all of our couples, so if that's of interest to you – let us know!
Short answer, of course!
Do you have any vendors you recommend?
Q.
a.
We are lucky to work in one of the best wedding industries in the country, and boy do we know some talented artists! Once the contract is signed, we have a full wedding planning guide we send to our couples that will list out our most trusted wedding artist friends. We are also happy to recommend at our consultation call.If you're not getting married in Texas, we can help you source vendors nearer to your wedding destination!
Short answer, YES!
Stop your search and book them now! We could not have loved our experience working with Kelsey and Talon more - and our photos are more beautiful, more stunning, more incredible than we could've ever imagined! They are unbelievably talented and a true JOY to be around – just their presence added so much to our wedding day! From engagements, to bridals, to the big day - they always put me (and my spouse who is not comfortable in front of the camera!) at ease.
They were able to capture so many genuine, candid moments between me and my husband – they have a true gift at capturing the essence of people + relationships! They are total pros and kept everything under control and moving along on the big day as well – I honestly don't know what we would've done without them. I really can't say enough great things about them. Booking them was the best decision I made throughout the whole wedding process!!!
"Our photos are more beautiful, more stunning, more incredible than we could've ever imagined!"

Choosing Ruét as our photographer was one of the most important parts of wedding. While yes, you’ll have the memories of your wedding day forever, investing into photography that truly captures the feel of your day is so important. Kelsey and Talon are absolute artists, their eye for unique composition and beautiful colors are INCREDIBLE.
They didn’t just capture photos of our wedding. They captured moments, feelings, and “vibe” as silly as it sounds. They are very personal and take time to get to know what’s important to you, in order to capture your day in a way that’s unique to you. We get compliments on our wedding photos all of the time. Seriously, book them and book them fast.

Ruét Photo is a dream to work with. There are no words good enough to convey how utterly honored and grateful we were to be able to experience our special day for years to come through their craft. As an artist and designer myself, the photography of our wedding was the most important element. And they delivered! Kelsey & Talon carefully suspended in time every precious wedding memory we could have wanted and more.
They captured every emotion and whimsical precious moment with such attention to detail and talent. It is such a delightfully magical experience to be able to relive our wedding day through their cameras! The best investment we made! You cannot put a price on the talent needed to fully capture your story to create precious heirlooms to cherish, share, and pass down for generations to come.
