How far in advance should we book?
Book as soon as your venue and date are set. Checking your date tells you whether we have availability, and holding a specific photographer is easier the earlier you ask.
How many photos will we get, and when?
Your gallery arrives within 30 days of your wedding, online and shareable, with full print rights. The number of images depends on your coverage hours, timeline, and guest count. Expedited editing is available for $300.

Aleisha Kone is Toast's Photography Director and she covers South Texas herself. Requesting a specific photographer is a $200 add-on if you want to hold a particular name. You can see her work above.
Do you photograph weddings across the whole region?
Yes. We cover McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, Kingsville, Corpus Christi, and Sinton, across both the Rio Grande Valley and the Coastal Bend. Travel within 30 miles of the city center is free.
Can we bundle photography with DJ or video?
