2027-2028 Wedding
Experience & Investment Guide
Wedding Photography & Videography — Thoughtfully Documented
Your wedding day isn’t about performing for the camera.
It’s about being fully present — grounded, connected, and surrounded by the people who matter most.
At The Montgomerys, we document weddings with intention and restraint. We focus on real moments as they unfold, while providing calm, confident guidance when it’s needed. The result is imagery that feels natural, honest, and deeply personal — never forced, never trendy, and never rushed.
We believe the most meaningful photographs and films are created when couples feel comfortable being themselves. That’s why our approach prioritizes connection over perfection and storytelling over spectacle.
A Seamless Photo + Film Experience
We are a husband-and-wife–led photo and film team, offering photography and videography under one roof. This allows us to work seamlessly together, anticipate moments intuitively, and tell your story with consistency across both mediums.
From the way your day flows to the way it’s edited and delivered, everything is designed to feel cohesive — visually, emotionally, and practically. No competing directions. No duplicated moments. Just a unified team documenting your wedding as it naturally unfolds.
Timeless, True-to-Life Imagery
Our editing style is clean, natural, and true to color. We believe your wedding photos and films should still feel just as relevant years from now as they do today.
Rather than chasing trends, we focus on:
authentic color
honest emotion
thoughtful composition
storytelling that holds meaning beyond the moment
The goal is work that ages well — imagery you won’t feel the need to explain or defend later.
More Than a Wedding Day
Many of our couples return to us long after their wedding — for anniversaries, growing families, and life’s in-between seasons. That continuity matters to us.
We don’t approach your wedding as a one-day transaction. We approach it as a chapter in a much longer story — one we’re honored to continue documenting as life evolves.
What This Guide Is
This pricing guide is designed to give you a clear understanding of:
how we work
what’s included
how our collections are structured
what you can expect throughout the process
It’s meant to answer most of your initial questions before we ever hop on a call, so when we do connect, the conversation can focus on fit, vision, and what matters most to you — not logistics.
The Experience
We believe a great experience starts long before the wedding day. Clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and aligned expectations allow everything to feel calm, intentional, and well-supported from start to finish.
Below is an overview of what working together looks like.
Once you inquire, we’ll review your date, location, and vision to ensure we’re the right fit. From there, we’ll schedule a phone call to connect personally, answer any remaining questions, and talk through what matters most to you.
This call is never about pressure or upselling — it’s about alignment. We want to make sure our approach, style, and process feel right for you.
1
Inquiry & Initial Connection
When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll send a custom proposal through HoneyBook that includes:
your selected collection
contract
payment schedule
A 25% non-refundable retainer officially reserves your wedding date. The remaining balance is split into installment payments, with the final payment due one month before the wedding.
We encourage all couples to read through the contract thoroughly. Everything is designed to be clear, transparent, and expectation-setting — nothing hidden, nothing unclear.
2
Booking Your Date
Planning + Preparation
3
As your wedding day approaches, we’ll guide you through every step of the planning process related to photography and videography.
This includes:
our Wedding Timeline Guide + Printable Template
questionnaires to understand priorities, relationships, and key moments
detailed preparation tips to help your day flow smoothly
We work closely with planners and coordinators to ensure your timeline allows for space — not just for photos, but for presence.
Scheduling Portrait Sessions
4
Once your contract is signed and retainer is paid, you’re welcome to schedule your complimentary engagement or bridal session (if included in your collection).
These sessions are about more than just photos:
getting comfortable in front of the camera
learning how we guide and direct
building trust before the wedding day
Consider this our first date together!
You’ll also receive our Engagement Session Prep and Location Guide, which walks you through what to wear, how to prepare, what to expect, and favorite DFW locations.
The Wedding Day
5
On your wedding day, our role is to be steady, observant, and intentional — so you don’t have to think about the cameras at all.
We arrive prepared— familiar with your timeline, priorities, and the people who matter most to you. Throughout the day, we read the room, anticipate transitions, and adapt as things naturally unfold.
We offer gentle guidance when structure is helpful — like during portraits and family photos — and step back during emotional moments that deserve space. We’re always watching for the in-between interactions: the quiet nerves, shared glances, and moments you may not even realize are happening — sometimes simply reminding you to slow down and soak it all in, or creating space for your people to gather close for a quiet prayer or meaningful moment together.
As a photo and video team working together, we move seamlessly — capturing your day from multiple perspectives without interrupting it. Our goal is for you to feel present and supported, knowing everything meaningful is being documented while you stay focused on experiencing your day.
You’ll Receive:
• A sneak peek between 7-10 days after your wedding
• Your full gallery and/or films within the standard turnaround time outlined in the contract
• High-quality downloads and easy sharing options for you and your loved ones
After your wedding, you’ll also receive a post-wedding questionnaire. This gives you the opportunity to share anything important from the day — moments you loved, moments you’d prefer not be included, special details we may not know carry value, and any music or storytelling preferences for your films.
Every image and film is then thoughtfully curated and edited with that feedback in mind, resulting in work that reflects your day honestly — clean, natural, and timeless.

About the team
-
We’re Haley and Cam — a husband-and-wife team, parents, creatives, and people who genuinely love the life we’ve built together.
We’re parents to two little boys and three dogs, and that season of life has shaped how we show up — with patience, perspective, and a deep appreciation for meaningful moments. We’re Christians, family-oriented, and grounded in values that prioritize people over perfection.
When it comes to work, Haley is very much Type A — organized, prepared, and detail-driven. Cam balances that with a more Type B approach — steady, observant, and calm under pressure. Together, it creates a dynamic that’s both structured and relaxed, which carries directly into how we photograph and film wedding days.
Outside of weddings, we love good BBQ, a solid pour of whiskey, time outdoors, and slow evenings at home with our kids and dogs. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take our work — and the people who trust us with it — very seriously.
At the end of the day, we believe relationships matter. We care deeply about the couples we work with, and we approach every wedding with the same care we’d want for our own.
-
Your wedding day is one of the most personal days of your life — and we’re with you for much of it.
From quiet moments while you’re getting ready, to emotional conversations with parents, to the energy of the dance floor, we’re often closer to you than almost anyone else throughout the day. Because of that, connection isn’t optional — it’s essential.
When couples feel comfortable with us, they can let their guard down. They trust us to guide when needed, step back when it matters, and be fully present without being intrusive. That comfort allows moments to unfold naturally, rather than feeling forced or performed.
We’re intentional about the weddings we take on for this reason. We believe the best work — and the best experience — happens when there’s mutual trust and genuine connection. It’s also why we’re okay saying no when something doesn’t feel aligned. Your wedding deserves a team that feels like a natural fit, and we care deeply about that responsibility.
When connection is there, the day feels lighter, more relaxed, and more meaningful — and your photos and films reflect that.
-
When you book with The Montgomerys, you’re not just hiring individuals — you’re hiring a team that moves together seamlessly.
We communicate constantly throughout the day, anticipate each other’s movements, and approach every wedding with a shared vision. This allows us to document moments thoroughly without disruption or redundancy.
-
Comfort matters. Trust matters. Feeling understood matters.
When couples feel relaxed and supported, their photos and films reflect that. Expressions soften. Moments unfold naturally. The experience feels lighter — and the imagery feels more honest.
Our goal is never to force moments or manufacture emotion. Instead, we create an environment where you feel at ease enough to be yourselves, knowing that everything important is being documented thoughtfully.
-
Many of our couples return to us year after year — for anniversaries, growing families, and new seasons of life.
That continuity is intentional. We believe relationships matter, and we don’t take lightly the trust it takes to invite someone into meaningful moments again and again.
Your wedding isn’t just a one-day event to us. It’s the beginning of a story we’re honored to continue documenting.
Photo + Video Collections
Our Photo + Video Collections are built around one thing we won't compromise on: having the right team in place to document your day well.
Every Photo + Video Collection includes two photographers and two videographers, allowing us to capture multiple perspectives, simultaneous moments, and everything unfolding in between without asking one person to be everywhere at once.

A Note on Coverage & Customization
Most weddings require 8–10 hours of coverage to give your day room to unfold naturally without feeling rushed. Each of our collections has been thoughtfully built around the coverage, experience, and deliverables we believe work best together, with additional hours and select add-ons available to tailor your collection to your specific timeline and priorities.
Because our collections are intentionally bundled as a complete experience, individual inclusions do not carry separate cash values. Unused or declined inclusions cannot be exchanged, transferred, credited, or deducted from the collection price.

Albums,
Prints + Keepsakes
Your wedding images deserve to live beyond a screen.
We offer professionally printed albums, photo books, and prints designed to preserve your memories in a tangible, lasting way — something you can return to for years to come and eventually pass down.
-
(Includes up to 125 photos)
Every album includes:
a leather-bound cover

professional binding and print quality
Albums are designed to feel timeless, durable, and worthy of your images.
-
We’ve partnered with a professional print lab to offer high-quality prints directly through your online gallery.
While you’re never required to order prints through us, this ensures:
consistent color accuracy
professional paper quality
longevity beyond consumer print labs
Print orders typically ship within 3–5 business days after purchase.
-
While professional prints may cost slightly more than consumer options, the difference in quality, color accuracy, and longevity is significant. These products are designed to last — and to look just as good years from now as they do today.
-
Great question!
We don’t deliver RAW photos or video footage. What we promise our couples is fully edited, thoughtfully curated work — nothing meaningful is left out.
We never set image caps, so if a photo isn’t blurry, blinking, or a duplicate, it’s included in your gallery.
RAW video footage is often misunderstood. It typically consists of hundreds of short, unsteady clips from multiple angles, many of which aren’t usable or flattering. Our films rely on selecting the strongest moments and weaving them together intentionally.
For couples who want more documentation beyond a cinematic film, we offer options like uncut ceremony recordings, speech footage, and our Video Documentary Package, which provides longer-form coverage.
If you’re looking to see more of your day, we often recommend our Feature or Deluxe films, as these allow for deeper storytelling.
You can view all video collections and add-ons above.
-
First know that we do not set image caps.
On average, couples receive approximately 75-150 images per hour of coverage, though this can vary depending on the day, events, and overall flow. If a moment is meaningful and in focus — it’s included.
We remove only duplicates, blinkies, and blurries.
-
You can expect:
a hefty sneak peek gallery within the 7-10 days following your wedding
your full gallery and/or films within 12-14 weeks
Expedited delivery options are available if you’d prefer a faster turnaround.
-
We offer 5% off for active military members and first responders (applicable to the couple only).
Seasonal promotions may be available and are not combinable with other discounts.
-
When audio is included in your collection, we intentionally weave vows, speeches, or other meaningful words into your film.
We typically mic one partner and the officiant when possible and also connect to soundboards when available. For brides, mic placement depends on dress structure — when that’s not ideal, we may recommend:
speaking clearly during the ceremony
or pre-recording vows or letter readings
These options allow for clear, usable audio while keeping everything natural.
-
We do.
For venues located more than 60 minutes or 50 miles from our home base in Northlake, Texas, a $150 travel fee applies.
Weddings requiring an overnight stay incur an additional overnight fee.
-
For photo + video collections, Haley and Cam are typically present and working alongside their team.
For photo-only or video-only collections, coverage may be provided by a member of our trusted associate team, allowing us to remain available for photo + video weddings, which naturally require more moving parts and hands-on involvement. Photo Collection One is exclusively photographed by our associate photography team.
Every associate is hand-selected and personally trained by us to photograph and film in our style — the same balance of candid moments and thoughtful direction you see throughout our work. Regardless of who captures your wedding day, Haley and Cam remain personally involved behind the scenes, selecting images, handcrafting films, and completing all final editing to ensure the work you receive feels unmistakably like The Montgomerys.
If having Haley or Cam personally present is important to you, just let us know when inquiring and we can confirm availability for your date. Either way, your wedding is entrusted to a team we know, train, and trust completely.
-
Bridal portraits are a session dedicated to photographing the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding day.
They’re completely optional — but often very helpful. On a wedding day, time can be limited, and we don’t always have the opportunity to capture dedicated bridal portraits. If these images are important to you, scheduling a bridal session ensures they don’t get rushed or missed.
Bridal sessions are also a great chance to do a hair and makeup trial, see how everything photographs, and make any adjustments before the wedding day.
Bridal sessions are complimentary with select collections — so if they’re included, it’s a great opportunity to take advantage of them.
-
It’s a fair question — especially when you’re wondering how often you’ll actually watch it.
At the end of your wedding day, there are only a few tangible things you take with you:
your rings, your photos, and your video.Everything else lives on as memory — the voices, the movement, the emotion, the way it all felt. A wedding film preserves those moments in a way nothing else can.
Your video isn’t just about reliving the day itself. It becomes something you return to years later — on anniversaries, on hard days, and in seasons when memories begin to fade. It holds the voices of parents and grandparents, the emotion in vows, and the moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
Photos freeze moments in time.
Video lets you experience them again.When you trust us with your wedding film, preserving those memories becomes our highest priority — because we know firsthand how meaningful it is to have them in motion.
