and are usually photographed in the last light of the day, on the shoreline at Lake Travis, in the cedar and limestone around Dripping Springs, or downtown if the couple wants the city in the frame. Two outfits is the normal plan: one relaxed, one dressed. There is no posing script. Couples walk, talk and get told to ignore the camera, which is why the wedding day itself feels familiar by the time it arrives. Galleries are delivered as high resolution files with print rights, and most couples use a frame from the session for save the dates.
