My goal as your wedding photographer is to document your day as it unfolds naturally. Coming from an art background, I'm always looking for good composition and lighting, and I do so by positioning myself for the best photos - I won't take you out of any precious moments, just be there to the side to capture the memories!
"Wow! What a great experience with Sydney for our wedding photos! She was thorough, helpful, and easy to communicate with as we prepared for the event's photography process, answering all my questions and making me feel at ease. On the day of, she was prompt, professional and collected as she captured sweet moments, worked with me through last minute schedule changes and guided my husband and I through a variety of poses while also listening to our requests. And the end results for the photos was stunning- she far exceeded my expectations! Her attention to detail on the photo editing is exquisite, and I've gotten so many compliments on how they turned out! I will cherish the photos for many years to come! I highly recommend working with Sydney for your photography needs!"
Accessing your photos is easy! As soon as your photos are ready I will email you with a link to your full photo gallery. Through the online gallery you will be able to download all of the images in high-resolution + you have the option to order from the gallery shop (prints, canvases, albums, & more!)!
Only if you want one! Not everyone wants or needs a second photographer. A couple ways having a second photographer can benefit you are: It gives you different angles and details that can’t be captured by one photographer; it can also allow photos for simultaneous events such as family photos and cocktail hour.
I use fine art to frame real moments. I love to capture unscripted, candid photos with an editorial vibe. I want your full gallery to tell your story and each photo to be a piece of art.
Yes! Any package can be customized to fit your desired hours of coverage. I like to be flexible since no wedding is exactly the same. I also have several add-ons (see my pricing page) that can be attached to any package!
Editing your photos to give you the ideal final product can take some time. I do the best I can to deliver your photos in a timely manner! For engagement sessions I typically deliver photos in two to four weeks. Weddings take a bit longer with the turnaround time being six to eight weeks since I carefully edit each and every one of the photos in the gallery. I know waiting for your photos can feel like forever with all the excitement. That’s why I like to provide both engagement sessions and weddings with sneak peek photos within 72 hours after your shoot.
I 100% believe in taking engagement photos. All of my packages include an engagement shoot so it’s no loss to you. Plus, an engagement photoshoot is a great way for us to get familiar with each other before the wedding day. Engagement sessions tend to be more relaxed and casual, which is perfect for me to get to know the real you so I know what to do to bring out your personalities in the wedding photos!
Only one. I only schedule one wedding on any given day so I can be fully present and focused on getting the best pictures of your special day!
There’s no set time, however certain dates book up faster such as spring and fall. Most couples book 8-12 months in advance, but I take bookings as far as 24 months out. The further you book from your date, the more likely I will have an opening.
I’m based in Waco, so anywhere within 75 miles from Waco is fee-free! Any weddings that are between 75-200 miles of Waco will be charged with a travel fee of $2 per mile over 75 miles. Destination weddings (anything over 200 miles) and international weddings will include all travel fees in the total package price. Destination wedding costs include the ENTIRE package and have no additional travel fees. Contact me for more details in my pricing guide.
I use a secure payment processor through my booking software on Honeybook. You don’t have to pay the full price up front, but I do require a 40% deposit within a week of receiving my invoice to secure your date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your big day.
Of course! Prints and albums can be ordered directly from your online photo gallery. I’ll send you a link when they are fully edited and ready to go, and then you can order any items you’d like.
It’s up to you! Every wedding is different and I offer a variety of packages to fit each wedding need. My most popular package is the 8 hour package, this usually covers from the end of getting ready, the ceremony, and most of the major events from the reception. 6 hours is typically enough time to cover a ceremony and most of a reception. The 10 hour package covers everything from getting ready photos to your grand exit and everything in between!
I’ll reach out to you within 48 hours of you submitting the contact form. Make sure to include all of the necessary information so I can address any questions you might have, and we can get to planning!
In short, forever! I keep the photos on an sd card until they are delivered to you via your online gallery. Your online gallery is permanent so you’ll have access to those photos forever! And just for extra measure, I keep a hard drive and back them up on the cloud so nothing will happen to your photos!
My journey with photography started as a child, entering photo art contests and taking my camera everywhere. I always knew art was my calling. I received my art and business degrees during college where I learned how to use photography through the lens of art. Before graduating, I worked under a professional photographer taking family portraits. I officially established my wedding photography business in 2023 and I’m always looking to improve my craft.
If you need help deciding what to wear I have an outfit guide with helpful tips and tricks that I will send you during our planning stages. Whatever you decide on though, make sure it’s you! Picking an outfit that fits your personalities and vibes as a couple is the ultimate goal!
