We're so excited that you are considering working with us to document your wedding!

Welcome

We believe in letting moments breathe and documenting the full story of your day. Not only the moments that require instruction (hello family photos), but also the moments that are fleeting. We know from experience the imagery that shows personalities of your loved ones are the moments that will appreciate the most over time.

While our couples are our priority, we also care about the experience of your family, friends, and guests. We know that making them feel comfortable is imperative to cultivating and capturing genuine interactions  that you'll love and want to look back on decades from now.

We're here as a resource beyond photography/filmmaking—whether you're looking for engagement session outfit recommendations, timeline advice, or vendor referrals.

Even if you're working with a wedding planner or you're planning a smaller wedding, there are likely still a lot of moving pieces left leading up to your big day. We've documented more than 300 weddings over the past 9 years and we're happy to share everything we've learned along the way! 

wedding ADVICE

02

After documenting hundreds of weddings over the past 9 years, we’ve found that we’re not the perfect fit for every couple. That’s why this process begins with a conversation. We want to hear everything—how you met, funny first date stories, and how you got engaged.

We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your day, answer any questions you might have about working with us and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.

let's CONNECT

01

Engagement sessions are available to all of our couples. Not only do they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, they also give you the opportunity to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you. 

Engagement sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a couple of weeks before wedding day. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. We normally plan sessions based on a particular vibe a couple has in mind (old Hollywood downtown or spring garden for example) or based on schedules. 

ENGAGEMENT SESSION

03

We check-in six weeks before wedding day to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day. 

While we normally don't send this questionnaire until closer to the wedding, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have questions during the planning process!

wedding PREP

04

It's finally here! The day the two of you say begin forever and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. 

We'll be your best hype team and are always excited to seamlessly integrate into your group of friends and family to authentically document the day.

BIG DAY is here!

05

You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about eight weeks of your wedding. But before that, you'll get a sneak peek gallery of 75+ images about 48 hours after your wedding day. 

We hope the relationship doesn't end after we deliver your galleries. We want to hear about the adventures of married life. And if you decide to have kids or bring in more pets, we'd love to document your growing family as well.

A La Carte

- Larissa + Reid, 2025
Photography + Filmmaking

 As people that hadn’t really been photographed before, they made us both feel really comfortable and those pictures turned out so beautifully. As we got closer to the wedding, they helped us with our timeline to ensure we had time for all of the pictures we wanted captured. We were wanting a fun, candid and romantic vibe and they captured that perfectly!

"We are so glad we picked them and had them all there on our wedding day"

from past clients

KIND WORDS

-  Michelle + Noah, 2025
Photography + Filmmaking

They were hands down our favorite vendor from our whole wedding! They were super approachable and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. They were incredibly proactive and communicative so nothing slipped through the cracks and their organization made everything super easy and comprehensive. They perfectly captured our day and we couldn’t be happier with the output.

"Do yourself a favor and book Carhart for your wedding"

from past clients

KIND WORDS

- Sam + Ray, 2025
Photography

We could not be more pleased with hiring Carhart as our wedding photographers! They very kind and friendly and made us feel very welcome from the start! We wanted more natural, candid moments during the day and they understood the assignment! Many guests told me afterwards that our photographers did such an amazing job.

I can't recommend Carhart Photography enough- you won't be disappointed!

We photograph weddings all over the country (and sometimes outside of it). From the beaches of Mexico, to the colorful autumns on the East Coast. However, Texas is our home and we love serving Austin, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and San Antonio.

Inspiration

Bridal sessions can be a great way to test out your bridal look before wedding day and ensure that you get solo bridal portraits if those are important to you. This session can help with testing out:

- Hair and makeup
- Movement in your dress
- Veil placement with your wedding hair style
- Weight of your bouquet
- Dress mobility for any additional adjustments

Reasons you might consider a bridal session

BRIDAL 
sessions 

We have engagement sessions available for all of our couples. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand what poses feel most true to them. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes or less may be all we have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that engagement sessions can serve as great practice for feeling more comfortable on wedding day.

Sessions also allow you to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few weeks before wedding day.

When will we receive our photos? 

You'll receive a sneak peek gallery about 48 hours after your wedding  that includes 75+ images, and your full gallery within about 8 weeks

Your full film collection including your creative highlight film, your full ceremony film, and your full toast film will be ready within 12 weeks 

When do you charge travel fees? 

We do not charge travel fees for anywhere in Texas! There may be a hotel fee if we are outside of Austin shooting for multiple days (such as rehearsal dinner). Weddings outside of Texas will include a travel fee. 

How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?  

Galleries typically include anywhere between 800-1200 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding and amount of coverage time. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos anywhere on social.

We love your work and want to book. What's the next step? 

Yay!! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a $500 non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 2 weeks before wedding day.

Are you an inclusive/safe company? 

We serve all couples! If you're in love, you're in the right place. 

Thank you so much for considering us to be a part of your wedding day! If you’re interested in working with us, the next step is to set up a time to chat!
