Pricing, process & what to expect
EXPERIENCE + INVESTMENT
We'll start with a video call to talk about your wedding, what matters most to you, and any questions or concerns you might have.
01 — Let's Get to Know Each Other
If we're a great fit, I'll prepare a personalized proposal. Once your agreement is signed and your retainer is received, your date is officially reserved.
02 — Secure Your Date
A relaxed opportunity to connect, get comfortable in front of my camera, and create photographs that reflect who you are together.
03 — Your Engagement Session
We'll review your timeline, important moments, and family photographs together so you can feel prepared without feeling rushed.
04 — Preparing for Your Wedding
I'll offer gentle direction when you need it and step back when you don't, giving you the freedom to enjoy your day and the people around you.
05 — Your Wedding Day
Within 6–8 weeks, you'll receive your wedding gallery. We'll also explore ways to preserve your favorite photographs through albums and artwork.
06 — Reliving Your Memories
“Absolutely our favorite vendor of our whole wedding! [...] Best choice we made for our wedding day.”

Photography Beyond the Wedding Day
IN THEIR OWN WORDS
“His style, his creativity, it is just out of this world. It's nothing like a cookie-cutter photography session, and it was very personalized to us.”
— Melissa & Juan
“Nothing like a cookie-cutter photography session.”

There's something different about holding a photograph in your hands. I create fine art prints in-house on archival paper, made to be seen, displayed, and enjoyed every day.
Your Photographs Deserve More Than a Screen

Your favorite photographs deserve more than a digital gallery. Thoughtfully designed and crafted to last, your wedding album brings the story of your day together in something you can hold and revisit.

Do you offer videography?
Most couples aren't used to being photographed, and that's perfectly fine. I'll guide you when needed, find the right light and angles, and give you space to simply enjoy being together. No pressure to perform or pretend to be someone you're not.
Absolutely! When you inquire, I'll share complete wedding galleries, including weddings I've photographed at your venue. You'll see the entire day, not just the highlights. Full transparency. No bad surprises.
In the unlikely event that an emergency prevents me from photographing your wedding, I'll do everything possible to arrange for an experienced professional photographer to step in. Your wedding is too important to leave you without a plan.
What if we're uncomfortable in front of the camera?
Can we see complete wedding galleries before booking?
What happens if you're unable to photograph our wedding?
I specialize exclusively in photography, so I don't offer videography. However, I'm happy to recommend talented wedding videographers I've worked with and trust.
Frequently Asked Questions
have more questions? i have answers, EXPLORE ALL FAQs
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
I recommend reaching out as soon as you've secured your wedding date and venue. I photograph only one wedding per weekend, so availability is limited, especially for popular dates.
Will you personally photograph our wedding?
Absolutely! When you hire me, you get me. I photograph both of you throughout the wedding day, including the groom getting ready. I won't simply send my second photographer to cover half your story.
Do you travel outside El Paso for weddings?
Absolutely! I'm based in El Paso, but I also photograph weddings in Dallas–Fort Worth, throughout Texas, and beyond. Travel arrangements and any additional costs are discussed upfront, so there are no surprises.
How do you help us plan our wedding photography timeline?
I'm not here to replace your wedding planner, but I won't be passive either. We'll review your timeline together to make sure there's enough room for photography without rushing your day. With 15+ years of experience, I'll share what works, what doesn't, and help you plan accordingly. You can count on me.
