Most couples book their wedding photography 6–18 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall dates. If you have your venue and wedding date secured, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible to ensure availability. However, don't hesitate to inquire about last-minute dates—I may still have openings!

Absolutely! While I'm based in Southwest Louisiana, I love documenting love stories throughout Louisiana and beyond. Whether you're planning a wedding in Lake Charles, Sulphur, Lafayette, New Orleans, or Shreveport. I'd be honored to be part of your day. Travel fees apply for all locations 100+ miles from Sulphur, La.

The industry standard for wedding photography is anywhere from 50-100 per hour of coverage. Every wedding is unique, so the final gallery size varies depending on your coverage and the events of your day. My goal is never to limit your memories. You'll receive a carefully curated gallery filled with the moments, details, emotions, and memories that tell the complete story of your wedding day.

Yes! In fact, I highly recommend adding a second photographer to your wedding day whenever possible. A second photographer provides additional coverage, unique perspectives, and peace of mind, helping ensure that no important moments are missed. While every wedding is different, I find that having a second photographer often creates a more complete and well-rounded gallery, allowing me to focus on creativity and storytelling while ensuring every important moment is beautifully documented.

There is no right or wrong answer—it simply depends on what feels best for you as a couple. A first look can create a more relaxed timeline, provide extra portrait time, and give you a private moment together before the ceremony. However, many couples choose to wait until the aisle for that traditional first reaction. No matter which option you choose, I'll help create a timeline that works beautifully for your day.

My wedding gallery turnaround time is 8 weeks, while engagement and bridal sessions are typically delivered within 2 weeks. I take great care in editing every image to ensure your gallery is beautiful, timeless, and worth the wait. You'll also receive sneak peeks of your wedding within 72 hours so you can relive the excitement while your full gallery is being prepared.

Yes! Whether you're planning a large wedding celebration or an intimate elopement, I'd love to document your story. Elopements offer a unique opportunity to focus on your connection and create meaningful, authentic photographs in a more intimate setting.

Don't panic—some of the most beautiful and romantic wedding photos happen on rainy days! If rain is in the forecast, we'll work together to create a backup plan and make the most of your venue's indoor spaces. I will also show up with my umbrella, poncho. My camera and lens are both weather-sealed, meaning they can withstand some rain as well. I always come prepared and will ensure your wedding gallery is beautiful regardless of the weather.

At Aureus Photo Co., wedding collections currently begin at $1,000 for 4 hours of coverage and range up to $2,200 for 8 hours of coverage, with options that include complimentary engagement sessions, bridal sessions, or both.

Every wedding is unique, which is why I also offer custom coverage options. If your wedding day requires more than the hours listed in my collections, I can create a custom package tailored to your timeline. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a full wedding day with 10+ hours of coverage, I'll work with you to ensure your photography package fits your needs.
