There’s nothing effortless about a wedding day unless it’s intentionally designed to be! There are so many complex moving parts, particularly when traveling between multiple venues for a celebration that is anything but cookie-cutter. That’s why I’ve intentionally crafted a Texas Hill Country wedding photography experience for imaginative, inspired couples who want to see their distinct vision come to life without any extra stress.
I aim to slip seamlessly into your vendor team, complimenting your style rather than imposing my own. We’ll tailor-make a timeline (with input from your planner, of course!) that allows extra room for the particular moments you can’t wait to relive. We’ll plan for the perfect ratio of posed, prompted, and candid images to match your personalities. And we’ll even bring that whimsical dash of color to your soft, graceful gallery through brilliant peonies and ranunculuses if you want to!
You really can have an effortless, graceful wedding photography experience that embraces and enhances your vision. And I can’t wait to show you how!
The Hill Country Wedding Photography Experience
I'm ready to book!
YOU’RE DREAMING OF EFFORTLESSNESS, BUT…
MAKING YOUR EXPERIENCE EFFORTLESS BY TAKING ON THE EFFORT MYSELF!
The LMP Process
Let’s get to know each other a little better as you tell me more about your vision! Rather than imposing “must-dos” on my couples, I’m known for complimenting their unique wishes…and your experience will be no different! During a brief call, I’ll answer your questions and refine your custom-tailored photography collection so you can decide for certain if my experience is right for you!
Since lighting is such an important aspect of the quality of your photos, you want a photographer who has a solid understanding of indoor lighting. Maybe this is something you haven't thought about. Remember those bright flashy pictures you took on your point-and-shoot camera back in the day? You want a photographer who can take photos indoors that have dimension and don't look dark or flashy.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR COLLECTION
After you’ve booked your call but before we actually meet, I’ll send over a detailed pricing guide and a custom proposal based on what you’ve shared in your inquiry. This will give you an idea of what I’d recommend for your day, as well as a full menu of add-ons to consider. But don’t worry—you don’t have to make the final decision alone!
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
Through my contact form, tell me a bit about yourselves and the unique celebration you’re planning. Then, I’ll be in touch via email within just 48 hours to share more information and next steps.
SAY HELLO

About six to nine months before the big day, we’ll plan your first adventure in front of my camera! I’ll send a detailed styling guide and even location scout spots that match the look you love, so you don’t have to. And on session day, we’ll discover your uniquely perfect ratio of posed, creative candids, and organic candids.

DOCUMENT YOUR ENGAGEMENT
Immediately after booking, I’ll send over a collection of new client information and open all lines of communication! That Pinterest board overflowing with inspo? I want to see it! The fitting room photo of your dream wedding gown? Text it to me ASAP! I can’t wait to watch you assemble the elements of your day, cheering you on and offering advice when asked for!
SHARE YOUR VISION
There’s enough pressure on wedding-planning couples, so let me relieve some. You don’t have to tell me then and there if you want to book! After our call, you’ll have time to consider your options, and then let me know if I’m the photographer for you! If you decide I am, a signed agreement and paid retainer will save your date!

“IT WAS ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!”
“It took me so long to find someone with a style that I liked, and when I finally found Lois, I was so amazed by how inclusive her packages were! We were so nervous, but Lois was so gentle yet efficient. She directed us so well while making us feel so at ease, and she made us look way better than we could have hoped for!

“Lois is very professional and efficient. We had a large wedding party and many family photos to take on a tight schedule, but she didn’t skip a beat! She was also able to adjust to different lighting and captured our bubble exit magnificently. She captured not only the formal photos but also the candids—moments I had missed and moments I never wanted to forget.”
“WE GOT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS
AND STILL STAYED ON SCHEDULE!”

WHAT IF IT RAINS ON MY WEDDING DAY?
Don’t worry! I’m known for adapting swiftly to last-minute changes and making backup plans feel even better than the original. I’ll effortlessly adjust with your planner or venue coordinator’s bad weather plan, and you won’t have to lift a finger! As for portraits, we’ll find beautiful indoor spaces at your venue, and then I’ll keep an eye on the radar so we can plan to pop outside during breaks in the rain. Or if you’re more of a “dance through the storm” type, let’s capture those romantic The Notebook-esque moments!
WHAT IF THIS WILL BE YOUR FIRST TIME AT MY VENUE?
While I’ve only been a Texas local since 2021, I’ve definitely used my time wisely. It may shock you just how many venues I’ve already photographed or toured! But if your venue is new to me, I’ll schedule a walkthrough with the venue manager or coordinator before your day. This allows me time to find all the best photo spots (especially ones that are less obvious!) and learn the specific rules of the space.
HOW DO I KNOW HOW MANY HOURS TO BOOK?
I think every couple wonders this, so you’re not alone or less informed than anyone else. That’s why I use all my experience and expertise to guide you in the right direction! After learning your vision for the day, how many venues we’ll be traveling between, and what you hope to prioritize in your gallery, I can make a recommendation. I’ll explain the reasoning, and then, as with every aspect of your day, the final decision is all yours!
WILL YOU TRAVEL TO DOCUMENT MY DAY?
I’d absolutely love to bring my Texas Hill Country wedding photography experience to your hometown! I include up to an hour and a half of travel time in every collection I offer, but I’m always up to branch out. If you’d like to invite me to another state or country, share your ceremony location in the inquiry form, and I’ll share a custom travel estimate with you in your proposal.
HOW WILL YOU GUARANTEE MY IMAGES ARE KEPT SAFE?
We’ve all heard the lost wedding photo horror stories—they make my stomach drop! I can’t imagine anything worse than losing my couples’ wedding photos, so I’ve taken extreme measures to ensure it never happens! I bring multiple camera bodies and lenses to every wedding day in case one breaks, and each camera body has multiple camera card slots in case one is corrupted. I’m taking no chances! Then, the minute I arrive home, I backup your images in multiple locations and guarantee to safely store them for a whole year!
THIS SOUNDS PERFECT! HOW CAN WE SAVE OUR DATE WITH YOU?
Yay! I can’t wait to meet you and capture your unique wedding day vision! To get started today, simply fill out my wedding inquiry form, where I’ll learn a bit about you and your day. Then, I’ll be in touch within 48 hours to share more information and book your no-pressure consultation call where we’ll review my detailed pricing guide and your custom proposal! If you decide we’re a perfect match, a signed agreement and paid retainer will save your date!
This will vary based on situations such as, ceremony length, whether you have multiple venues (travel time), and what you want covered.
However, a typical wedding day where everything takes place in one location and there is a 30 minute ceremony, with full reception coverage that lasts 4 hours; 9 hours is the best length of time.
You are always welcome to add hours to your wedding day coverage as plans become more finalized.
How much coverage do I need?
Yes your images will be backed up in multiple ways, I've never had a mishap and I don't plan to!
I photograph your wedding with two cameras and multiple lenses. Each camera is also equipped with two card slots which means your images will be duplicated.
Once I arrive home, your images will be downloaded and backed up on hard drives in multiple ways to ensure your images are preserved for the length time agreed upon in your contract.
Although I go through great lengths to backup your images, I encourage couples to backup their own images as the contract includes a 1 year gaurantee.
Are my pictures safe?
To book your date, the first step is to fill out the contact form so that I can gather some more intel on your wedding wants and plans.
I will review your info and send you a personal page with my pricing and a special collection customized just for you.
Once you review the pricing, you have the option to set up a call to ask me more questions or to share more info to further tailor your collection.
Once you decide you would like to officially book, you can let me know and I'll send the contract/wedding deposit invoice to officially lock in your date!
How do I book and reserve my date?
Now that you see how it’s possible to deliver a Hill Country wedding photography experience that truly embraces your vision while remaining completely effortless, are you ready to learn more? Bring me all your less frequently asked questions and your most complex timeline puzzles, and we’ll build a uniquely-you wedding photography collection you’ll adore as much as your luminous, dynamic gallery!
