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 browsed through my offerings, fill out my wedding inquiry form with all the details! I will let you know within 2 business days if I am available for your wedding date (don't forget to check your spam). In my response, I will include a booking link for you to schedule a call with me for step 2...

STEP 02

 

LET'S CHAT!

Your wedding day is deeply intimate, and it matters to me that we both feel aligned before stepping into it together. There’s absolutely zero pressure here — I just want to hear your vision and what matters most to you on your day. I'll explain a bit about how my collections are designed, my overall approach, and  answer any questions you have for me! If you happen to live near Lake Charles, LA and would rather meet up in person, let's go get coffee(:

STEP 03

 

BOOKING TIME

Once we both feel ready to move forward, let's get you booked! I'll package up your contract and invoice for your retainer to get your date secured in my calendar. You'll receive all booking materials and payment options in one place for easy access. Once signed and the deposit is in, we are all set for step 4...

STEP 04

 

ENGAGEMENT SESSION

From here, we'll keep in touch to plan your engagement (or bridal) session if included in your collection! You can start sharing inspo with me through pinterest or instagram collections and we'll work together to pick the right date and location to bring your vision to life. Our session is another opportunity for us to get comfortable with each other before your wedding, so that I don't show up a stranger! You'll get a feel for the way I work and a little practice in front of the camera  before wedding day

STEP 05

TIMELINE & DETAILS

 

About three months before your wedding, I’ll send your questionnaire. Once you’ve had a chance to start looking it over, you'll use my booking link to schedule our last call—this is our opportunity to talk through details, timeline, and tailor your photo coverage to fit your day!

 

STEP 06

 

 

LET'S GET YOU MARRIED!

 

 

 

It's finally here! By this point, we will have met several times before I show up on your wedding day—You'll have confidence that I've got  it covered so that you can be present in every moment. After all, that is how your favorite photos will happen! See "my approach" section to learn more.

 

 

 

STEP 07

 

GALLERY DELIVERY

 

 

When it's all said and done, you'll receive your sneak peek gallery within one week. Good things do take time, and I am not one to slap a preset over your gallery and call it a day. I edit every photo with care and intention. Final delivery will depend on your collection.


Your gallery will be delivered through a beautiful, organized online platform, where you'll have one full year of access, along with the option to order prints directly through my print shop.


As a wedding client, you'll receive a 10% discount towards future sessions including couples, maternity, and family as a "thank you" for trusting me.

"Austin-Marie is such a talented, sweet, and patient soul. Each photo she took showed her skills and I am beyond pleased with her services. At any time I could ask her to critique the most minute detail because I was in my head about it, and without skipping a beat she’d get to it as fast as she could, AND HAPPY AS SHE DID IT! I recommend her to all my family members and to any stranger online!"

Frequently Asked Questions

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR

PHOTOSHOOTS/WEDDINGS?

I'm based in Lake Charles, LA and usually shoot around the surrounding areas, but I’m always open to travel! For sessions, travel up to 60 miles round-trip is included ($1/mile beyond).


The following applies to weddings within a 100 miles round-trip of my location. Please inquire for further distances, destination or out-of-state weddings.


Anything beyond is $1/mile, and depending on how far it is, I might also ask for a lodging fee—just to make sure I’m rested and ready to show up 100% for your big day!

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT DOES THE BOOKING PROCESS LOOK LIKE?

For sessions:


When you're ready to book, I’ll send over a contract and invoice for your deposit to lock in your session date (amount depends on your session type). Once that’s in—it's offical! Then we will work together to find the right location for your session if you don't have one in mind.


For weddings:


Once you're ready to lock in your date, I’ll send over your contract and invoice. A 30% retainer secures your date on my calendar, and the rest isn’t due until one week before the big day! You'll have the option to pay in installments as you are able via venmo. About 3 months out from your wedding, I will check in with you and send my questionnaire to gather all the details. While you're always welcome to reach out, this will be your opportunity to set up a facetime/phone call with me if you'd like to go over timeline/details together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR TO OUR SESSION?

Always wear what feels like you, that’s the most important thing. I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself during your session.


That said, neutrals and earthy tones always photograph beautifully with my editing style. They tend to keep the focus on the connection between you two and just give everything this soft, timeless feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'M nervous in front of the camera, what if I don’t know what to do?

This is the most common feeling, and you’re definitely not alone.


You don’t need to come in knowing how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you when you need it, while keeping everything feeling natural and relaxed.


Most sessions start with a little bit of nerves, and quickly shift into something that feels easy, where you’re just being yourself and not thinking about the camera at all.
