Coverage, keepsakes, and what happens next.

How much do Houston wedding photography and video packages cost?

Essential Photography starts at $1,650 for six consecutive hours. Essential Photo + Film starts at $2,650, and Signature Photo + Film is $3,250 for eight hours with an album and wall print. Prices are before 8.25% sales tax. The collection builder itemizes your selected coverage, additions and tax.

Do you offer combined photography and videography?

Yes. Our photo + film collections include one photographer and one videographer, with shared timeline planning and communication. Choose the coverage and films that fit your celebration.

Should we choose six or eight hours?

Six hours can suit a compact celebration. Eight hours allows more room for preparations, portraits and reception coverage. Your locations, travel between them and the moments you want covered help determine the right fit.

Can we add extra coverage hours?

Yes! Use our package builder to add up to four extra hours and see your total update instantly. Extra coverage is $200 per hour for photography or $300 per hour for photo + film, plus 8.25% sales tax. Need more time? Just ask us.

What is included in the wedding album?

Our album is a 10×10 leather layflat album with 20 pages and one design revision. Signature Photo + Film includes the album and one unframed 16×20 photographic print. The album + wall print addition is $250 before tax for an Essential collection.

When will our album and print arrive?

Allow up to 60 days for the album after your final image selections and design approval. The wall print is delivered within 30 days after image approval and confirmation of delivery details.

We feel awkward in front of a camera. Can you help?

Absolutely. We offer calm, clear direction for portraits and leave room for natural expressions and real moments. You do not need to know how to pose.

Can we include an engagement or bridal session?

Yes. Add a one-hour engagement or bridal portrait session for $350 before tax. We can explore downtown, rooftop or rustic styles together. Exact locations and any location fees are discussed during planning.

What happens if it rains?

We plan with flexibility and discuss covered or indoor portrait options with you, subject to your venue’s access and rules. We adjust the wedding-day portrait plan around conditions. If weather affects a separate portrait session, contact us to agree on a revised plan or date.

How many photographs will we receive?

For an eight-hour wedding, couples typically receive 900–1,200 curated photographs. The final number varies with the timeline and events; shorter celebrations receive fewer. This is a typical range, not a guaranteed minimum.

When will we receive our photographs and films?

Photographs are delivered within two weeks. A highlight film, when included, is delivered within four weeks, and an included ceremony film within six weeks.

How long can we access our online gallery?

Your private gallery remains available for at least 12 months after delivery. Download and back up your high-resolution photographs promptly so you have your own permanent copies.

Can we print and share our photographs?

Yes. After full payment, your delivered photographs include personal printing and sharing rights. Albums and wall prints are included only when listed in your selected collection or additions.

Do you photograph cultural or multi-day weddings?

Yes. We plan coverage around your events and traditions, including tea ceremonies, sangeet nights and welcome celebrations. Contact us for a proposal that covers each day.

Do you travel outside Houston and The Woodlands?

Yes. Local coverage is included. Out-of-town travel and any location fees are quoted separately, based on the location and logistics, before you agree to them.

When does our wedding date become officially reserved?

Your date is officially reserved when it is available, your agreement is signed, your $1,000 reservation retainer payment succeeds and you receive your booking confirmation. Signing alone does not reserve the date. We accept one wedding per day.

How does the $1,000 retainer work?

The same $1,000 retainer applies to every collection and is credited toward your total including tax; it is not an extra charge. After signing, an available date is temporarily held while you complete the emailed Square payment request within one hour. An unpaid, expired request does not reserve the date.

How do we pay the remaining balance?

Delight Story sends a separate Square invoice with your retainer credited toward the total. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the wedding. For a wedding fewer than 30 days away, contact us before booking; full payment is due at booking.
