HOW I WORK WITH YOU

Before, during and after your wedding celebration.

BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

My work begins long before the wedding day. We'll connect over Zoom, where you can share the story of why you've chosen your partner and how you envision celebrating your special day!

I'm here to listen to your ideas, suggest the perfect photography package, and help you create a wedding timeline that suits you perfectly. I'll share my experiences while prioritizing what matters most to you and your partner.

In the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, we can arrange a pre-wedding or engagement session and schedule as many pre-wedding consultations as you'd like.

I value organization, so you'll have access to your own client portal. There, you can find all our email correspondence, contracts, timelines, and invoices. Efficiency for the win!

ON THE DAY

When you book me, you're not just getting a photographer; you're getting someone who's there to ensure your wedding day is the best it can be.

I'm ready to handle all those little things that can make a big difference: keeping you on schedule, ensuring your grandmother has a comfortable seat during family photos, making sure you have ample time with your guests, assisting with your mom's dress, bringing you refreshments, and even carrying extra lipstick.

Regarding the photography, I follow your lead. Whether you envision two hours of intimate portraits or just a quick 20-minute session, I'll make it happen.

I'm experienced enough to create stunning images within any timeline.

Ultimately, my goal is to ensure that your wedding day is as beautiful, authentic, and carefree as it appears in your photographs.

AFTER YOUR WEDDING

I'm excited to share a sneak peek of your wedding day! Within 72 hours, you'll receive 15–30 images to give you a first look at your special moments.

As you settle into married life, I'll be diligently working behind the scenes. I carefully sort through the thousands of photos, removing any duplicates or shots with unflattering expressions. Each selected photograph undergoes professional editing to ensure it looks as magical as the moment felt.

Within 12 weeks, you'll receive a link to your online gallery, which includes all your images in both high and low resolution. Feel free to share this gallery with family and friends! You'll also be able to download all your images in the best possible quality, with full printing rights included.

If you're interested, I'd also be happy to help you create a custom wedding album. We can work together to design a beautiful keepsake filled with your favorite memories.

LET’S GET TOGETHER

I’ve always found that meeting in person or via Skype to discuss issues and responses is far more beneficial. If you’re in the San Antonio Texas area, let’s meet for coffee.

EVERY WEDDING IS UNIQUE

Though these FAQs may answer some of the more important questions, I always handle situations with flexibility and logic. My business is constantly changing, and I’m always pleased to share the latest developments with you.

  • Wedding photo coverage by Christian starts at $2,800. Reach out via my Contact Page and I’ll follow up with full pricing and entire wedding galleries for review. I promise, after the initial email everything is quick and easy!

  • I make a special effort to ensure that being photographed is as relaxed and organic as possible. I often photograph alone and with the least amount of gear possible. I ensure that you never feel like you’re on exhibit or that there are a lot of awkward lights, light stands, and helpers everywhere. You, my camera, and a few lenses are all that are involved. I have an effective setup for every scenario, however I do carry vintage and experimental equipment to experiment with (as well as a full backup kit).

  • After we setup a meeting in person or phone call you’ll receive a custom payment portal online where you can sign the contract and make the deposit and final payment via credit card. I also take checks if you prefer

  • A good rule of thumb is 75 to 100 deliverable photos per hour of coverage.That number doesn’t dictate how much we will shoot. It’s how many pictures you can expect delivered after the wedding is over. When we are capturing your day, we don’t spray n’ pray, and we don’t undershoot. We are intentional in our focus and our goals.

  • My style is formally called photojournalistic wedding photography or wedding photojournalism. There’s even an official organization called the WPJA. It takes the hands-off, documentary approach of photojournalism and applies it to wedding photography.

  • Of course, not everyone likes standing in front of a camera. Our job is to make you feel at ease to help capture the best you. Most of the time you won’t even know were are there allowing you to relax and allowing us to make the photos you deserve

  • Standard turnaround time for delivery of your photos is ten weeks after the event date — however, depending on the time of year it may be sooner. Most of my wedding packages include “sneak peeks” so you at least get a few to share with family and friends right away!

  • Yes, once delivered, you have the rights to do whatever you would like with the photographs. I do, however, ask for credit by name for any businesses that use my work for any public or marketing purposes.
