weddings
best. day. ever.
you're getting married!
You’re stepping into one of the sweetest seasons of your life, and I don’t say that lightly. Engagement is such a beautiful, surreal moment. One day you’re living your normal life, and the next you’re planning forever with your best friend. It’s exciting, emotional, and a little overwhelming in the best way.
And then comes your wedding day. A room filled with the people who shaped you, loved you, prayed for you, all gathered to witness the start of your marriage. The joy, the anticipation, the quiet in-between moments… it’s something truly sacred.
While I may not have known you your whole life, I will absolutely be celebrating right alongside you. I’ll likely be holding back tears during your vows and smiling behind my camera the entire day. Yes, I’m your wedding photographer, but I’m also there to support you however you need. Fluffing your dress, fixing your veil, handing you water, calming nerves, or hyping you up before you walk down the aisle.
I care deeply about your experience, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure you feel supported, steady, and fully present on one of the most meaningful days of your life.
xoxo, Austin marie !

STEP 01
inquire
Once you've explored the collections, complete my wedding inquiry form with your date, venue, and a few details about your plans. I'll respond within two business days to confirm my availability and share the next steps.
Because I intentionally limit the weddings I accept each year, I encourage you to reach out once you've secured your date and venue.
STEP 02
LET'S CHAT!
Your wedding day is deeply personal, and it matters to me that we feel aligned before stepping into it together. We'll schedule a relaxed consultation to talk about your vision, the moments that matter most, and what you're hoping for from your photography experience.
I'll walk you through my approach, help you determine which collection best suits your plans, and answer any questions you may have. If you're near Lake Charles, LA, and prefer to meet in person, let's grab coffee!
There's no pressure—just an opportunity to make sure we're the right fit for one another.
STEP 03
BOOKING TIME
Once you're ready to move forward, I'll send your contract and invoice with the retainer details and payment options. Your date is officially reserved once your signed contract and 30% non-refundable retainer have been received.
From there, you can breathe a little easier knowing your photography is taken care of.
STEP 04
ENGAGEMENT or bridal SESSION
If your collection includes a complimentary session, we'll begin planning the details together. Share your inspiration, favorite locations, and ideas through Pinterest or Instagram, and we'll create a session that feels true to you.
It's also a wonderful opportunity for us to get comfortable working together before the wedding day, so showing up with your camera doesn't feel like meeting a stranger.
STEP 05
TIMELINE & DETAILS
About one month before your wedding, I'll send your wedding questionnaire. We'll discuss your photography priorities, family portraits, important details, and the flow of your day.
Together, we'll create a photography timeline that allows room for the moments you've planned while leaving space for your day to unfold naturally.
STEP 06
LET'S GET YOU MARRIED!
The day you've been waiting for is finally here! By this point, we'll have communicated throughout the planning process, and you'll know what to expect from me.
My role is to document your day thoughtfully, offer guidance when needed, and help you feel supported from beginning to end. I want you to be present with the people you love, trusting that your memories are being preserved with care.
STEP 07
GALLERY DELIVERY
Within one week of your wedding, you'll receive a sneak peek gallery to relive some of your favorite moments while the excitement is still fresh.
Your full gallery will follow within the delivery timeframe outlined in your contract. Every delivered image is individually edited with care and intention, honoring my true-to-color style and the natural beauty of your day.
Your finished gallery will be delivered through a private online platform, where you'll have one year of access to download your images.
As a thank-you for trusting me with such a meaningful chapter of your story, you'll also receive a lifetime 10% discount on future portrait sessions, including couples, maternity, and family sessions.
FAQs
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely! I'm based in Southwest Louisiana and serve Lake Charles and surrounding areas, with availability for weddings beyond Louisiana as well. Travel is included within the distance specified in your collection, and any additional travel or lodging expenses will be discussed before booking
What should we wear for our engagement session?
Once your session is booked, I'll help you prepare with guidance on choosing outfits, coordinating colors, and selecting a location. I recommend timeless, complementary pieces that allow you to feel comfortable and look like yourselves. Neutral tones, soft blues, muted greens, creams, and earthy shades photograph beautifully with my editing style.

You'll receive your wedding sneak peeks within one week. Your full gallery will be delivered within the timeframe specified in your contract. Each image is individually edited with care, so I can deliver a finished gallery that reflects the quality and consistency of my work.

Start by completing my wedding inquiry form with all the details! If your date is available, I'll be in touch within two business days with the next steps.
If you'd like to chat before booking, I'll include an optional link to schedule a consultation so we can talk through your vision, my collections, and any questions you may have.
Once you're ready to move forward, I'll send your contract and invoice. Your date is officially secured once your signed contract and 30% non-refundable retainer have been received.
How many weddings do you take each year?
I intentionally limit the number of weddings I accept each year so I can give every couple a thoughtful, personalized experience. From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery, I want you to feel supported and confident that your story is receiving the time and attention it deserves.
If my work resonates with you, I encourage you to inquire early. Availability is limited, and dates are reserved on a first-booked basis.
