WEDDING GUIDE
 
WELCOME
I’m truly honored that you’re considering me to capture one of the most important days of your lives. Your wedding is so much more than an event—it’s the beginning of your forever, and I want your photos to reflect every heartfelt moment, preserving memories you’ll cherish decades from now.
I know wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but when it comes to your photography, I’ve got you covered.
This guide is designed to answer all your questions, ease your mind, and help you feel confident and excited about your images. My goal is simple: to give you stunning photos that take you right back to the joy, love, and magic of your day—every time you look at them.
And remember, I’m here for you anytime! Whether you need advice, have last-minute questions, or just want to chat through ideas, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s create something beautiful together.
 
Hola, I'm Claudia!
 
I’ve been documenting weddings since 2019, but my love for photography began even earlier, back in 2017. Since then, I’ve discovered that my greatest passion isn’t just taking photos—it’s telling your story.
What makes my work different? I’m not here to stage moments or chase trends. Instead, I take a documentary-style approach, stepping back to let your day unfold naturally. That means fewer forced poses and more real emotion—the quiet glances, the unfiltered laughter, the tiny details that make your love uniquely yours.
So, what can you expect?
- Authenticity over perfection. Your photos will reflect your energy—whether you’re dancing wildly, stealing quiet moments, or laughing until your cheeks hurt.
- A hands-off (but always present) guide. I’ll keep things smooth without interrupting the flow, so you can truly live your day.
- No pressure, just honesty. Forget “Instagram-perfect.” Your wedding is about you, not a viral moment.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give you images that feel as genuine as your love—photos you’ll look back on decades from now and think, “That was so us!!”
Ready to tell your story? Let’s make it unforgettable.

FAQ
What sets you apart from other photographers?
What sets my work apart is my commitment to capturing weddings in a way that feels both honest and timeless. I blend digital photography with the nostalgic beauty of film to create images that feel emotional, artful, and true to life. Rather than focusing on stiff poses or fleeting trends, I document the genuine moments that make your day meaningful. As a bilingual Latina photographer, I also bring a deep appreciation for family, culture, and tradition, allowing me to connect naturally with couples and their loved ones. The result is a gallery that doesn’t just show how your wedding looked, but preserves how it truly felt.
How do we reserve our wedding date?
A signed contract and a $500 deposit is required in order to get your wedding on my calendar. A 25% payment is due 90 days before your wedding. Another 25% payment is due 30 days before your wedding. The remainder of your balance is due the day of your wedding.
Do you offer payment plans?
I sure do! I know how expensive weddings can be and I really try to be as flexible as possible with my couples. You can divide up your total in 12 monthly payments, or we can work something else out that best fit your needs.
When will we get sneak-peeks?
in 48 hours! I know couples are dying to see their photos so I try to send a good amount a couple days after to hold you over while I edit your entire gallery.
Do I have to have a wedding planner/coordinator?
I don’t require a wedding planner/coordinator to be present the day of your wedding but I strongly suggest you get one. The day goes so much smoother when there’s a dedicated person handling vendors, timeline, etc.
Do you offer timeline assistance?
Yes! About 30 days before your wedding I will send out a questionnaire asking for all the details of your big day. I will then put a photographer timeline together that I will share with you. I want to make sure we are always on the same page and there’s nothing that I am missing. As you’re working on your official wedding timeline, feel free to message me and ask me anything you need. Sometimes only photographers know when the best lighting is and other factors that could impact your photos.
What if I don’t need the engagement session that’s included in your package?
If you don’t want to do an engagement, we can always do a bridal or boudoir session! But if neither of those options work, then I'd be happy to substitute the session for an extra hour of wedding day coverage. Please note that the engagement session is included as a bonus experience and cannot be exchanged for a discount or deducted from the package price.
What’s your travel fee?
My travel fees vary depending on the location of your venue. Right now, I only charge a travel fee to venues that are more than 2 hours away from San Antonio. There are no travel fees for couples getting married in Dayton, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; or Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico.
Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?
Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If there are specific edits you want, these will be charged according to the number and complexity of edits. However, I am not a Pro-Photoshop photographer so keep that in mind.
What equipment do you use?
I use all of the latest Nikon equipment. I always carry the Nikon Z8, the Z6II, 35mm lens, 50mm lens, and other items. For film I use the Holga 120n, Mamiya M645 1000s Nikon F100, and Contax N1.
Do you have a list of preferred vendors to use?
Yes! From video to wedding planners to florals, I have worked with some of the best in the industry and would love to share their information with you!
If you don’t have my date available, is there any way we can still work together?
Of course! I would be happy to share an associate photographer that would be there to document your day but then I would edit and deliver your photos. If this is something you are interested in, let me know.
