Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?
For the best chance of securing your preferred date, I recommend reaching out 9–18 months before your wedding. Popular dates can book well in advance, particularly during peak wedding season. At Lux Amore Photography, we limit the number of weddings we accept each year so every couple receives a thoughtful, personalized experience.
What makes Lux Amore Photography different from other wedding photographers?
Lux Amore Photography combines fine art wedding photography with a boutique, personal approach. We want your images to feel both artistically beautiful and authentically yours, from elegant portraits to the unscripted moments you share with family and friends. Our goal is to create photographs that become lasting works of art while making your photography experience feel effortless and enjoyable.
What photography style does Lux Amore Photography specialize in?
Our signature style is fine art photography, blending romantic, thoughtfully composed portraits with genuine emotion and candid storytelling. We use light, composition and gentle direction to create timeless images that feel elevated without looking stiff or overly posed. The result is a wedding gallery that captures both the beauty of your celebration and the relationships that make it meaningful.
How do we book Lux Amore Photography for our wedding?
The first step is to reach out through our website with your wedding date, venue, and a little about the celebration you're planning. We'll schedule a personal consultation to discuss your vision, priorities, and photography needs. If we're the right fit and your date is available, we’ll guide you through the next steps to reserve your wedding photography experience.
Do you help create a wedding photography timeline?
Absolutely. A well-planned photography timeline helps your wedding day flow naturally while allowing enough time for beautiful portraits, family photo’s, and meaningful moments. I work with your wedding planner or coordination team to prioritize what matters most to you, so photography enhances your celebration rather than making the day feel like one long photoshoot.
Do we need to know how to pose for wedding photos?
Not at all! You don't need modeling experience to have beautiful wedding photographs. I'll offer gentle direction and natural prompts that help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, creating romantic portraits without forcing the moment. I also leave plenty of room for spontaneous laughter, affectionate glances, and the little interactions that make your relationship uniquely yours.
Is an engagement photography session included in your wedding packages?
Yes! All of our wedding photography collections include a complimentary engagement session. It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know one another and celebrate your relationship. By the time your wedding day arrives, you'll already be familiar with our approach and know what to expect.
Do you provide a second photographer for weddings?
Yes, a second photographer is included in our top collection and can be added to any of our collections. Having another photographer allows us to capture different perspectives and document moments happening simultaneously, from getting-ready candids to guest reactions and the ceremony. Together, we can tell a more complete story of your wedding day.
How many wedding photos will we receive and when will they be delivered?
Your final gallery is carefully curated to tell the story of your wedding day and we believe in quality over quantity. We generally deliver 50-75 images per hour of coverage. Your gallery will be delivered a maximum of 2 months after your wedding date.
Do you offer wedding albums?
Yes! Every wedding couple receives a custom-designed luxury leather wedding album featuring a curated selection of photo’s that tell the story of their celebration. These archival-quality albums are designed to become treasured family heirlooms, allowing you to experience your wedding memories in a beautiful, tangible form for generations to come.
Can we order fine art wedding prints and wall art?
Absolutely. In addition to your digital gallery, Lux Amore Photography offers professionally produced prints and wall art through an online print shop. Your wedding photographs deserve to be enjoyed beyond a computer screen. From statement artwork to smaller framed prints, you can turn your favorite moments into meaningful pieces for your home.
Where do you photograph weddings and elopements?
Lux Amore Photography’s home base is Chattanooga, TN and we serve couples throughout East Tennessee, including Knoxville, Nashville, Atlanta and the Smoky Mountains. Whether you're planning an elegant city celebration, a romantic mountain adventure or a sophisticated venue wedding surrounded by family and friends, we’ll work with you to create fine art photographs that reflect your vision and capture the setting.
Do you travel for destination weddings? Do you charge a travel fee?
Yes, we travel up to 3 hours (by car) from Chattanooga, TN with no additional travel fee. We do occasionally travel throughout the South East to cities such as Savannah, GA, Asheville, NC, New Orleans, LA and Palm Beach, FL with travel fee depending on accommodations and travel distance.
Do you photograph intimate weddings and elopements as well?
Yes, in fact we offer all-inclusive Elopement packages that include photography, videography, officiating/legal paperwork completed, hair & makeup, and florals.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings?
Absolutely, we are an LGBTQ-owned and operated company and are passionate about supporting our community. Your love matters and LGBTQ+ couples deserves to feel celebrated, respected and comfortable with their wedding photographer. We also maintain a preferred vendor list that is LGBTQ owned or allied. Our goal is for all of our clients to feel seen, valued, and beautifully represented.
How do you make sure our wedding photos feel natural and not overly posed?
Our approach combines artistic composition with natural movement and authentic emotion. We may begin by guiding you into a flattering pose, then use prompts and interaction to help the moment unfold organically. Throughout the day, I also watch for spontaneous expressions, emotional exchanges and meaningful details so your gallery feels like a genuine reflection of your wedding.
How can we find out if Lux Amore Photography is available for our wedding date?
The best way to check availability is to contact us through the Contact Page with your wedding date, venue, and any details you already have about your celebration. We'll arrange a complimentary consultation call to discuss your vision, explore the wedding photography experience and determine whether we're the right fit. I recommend reaching out early, as we accept a limited number of weddings each year.
