An Investment in Forever
Everything else from the day is returned or consumed by midnight. The photographs are the part you keep. Here is how a commission with us is built.
Every Commission, Start to Finish
Collections differ in how long we are with you and whether cinema joins us. Everything below is in all of them.
Coverage Shaped to Your Day
We build coverage around your timeline rather than the other way around, from an intimate ceremony to a full day that starts with getting ready and ends on the dance floor. Multi-day celebrations and cultural ceremonies are planned with you directly.
Your Engagement Session
Every wedding commission includes an engagement session. It is the shoot where you get comfortable in front of us and we learn how the two of you actually are together, which is what makes the wedding day look effortless.
An Heirloom Album
Every commission includes a designed, hand-bound album. Your photographs are laid out as a story and printed to archival standards, so the day exists somewhere other than a hard drive.
The Complete Edited Gallery
A fully edited high-resolution gallery of your wedding day, hand-finished by us rather than batch-processed, delivered with your digital negatives and the right to print them.
Cinema, When You Want It
A lead cinematographer, a highlight film, licensed music, and a full color grade can be added to any commission. Photography and cinema are directed as one team so the two never work against each other.
Two Studios, One Passport
Travel is included across Dallas-Fort Worth and our Southern California service area. Beyond that we have photographed weddings in nine countries, and destination travel is planned openly with you before anything is signed.
A Conversation, Not a Checkout
We photograph a limited number of weddings each year, so the first thing we want to know is your day, not your budget. Tell us the date and the venue and we will send you the full collection details the same business day.
Most couples want fifteen minutes on the phone before they decide anything, and we would rather have that conversation than trade emails. You are also welcome at either studio, Wednesday through Sunday by appointment, to see the albums and wall art at full size before you commit.
Start with the portfolio, browse our venue guides, or see how we approach wedding films.
From First Hello to Your Date
You Reach Out
Send us your date, your venue, and anything you already know about the day. The form below is the fastest way in, and it comes straight to us.
We Reply Personally
A real member of our husband-and-wife studio answers, usually within one business day, with your date's availability and the full collection details.
We Talk It Through
A call or a studio visit, where you can hold the albums and see the wall art at full size. This is where we shape the coverage and answer every question about the investment.
We Reserve Your Date
A signed agreement and a retainer hold your date exclusively. The balance is broken into scheduled payments before the wedding, and financing is available.
Tell Us About Your Day
Share your date and venue and we will confirm availability and send the full collection details, personally, within one business day.
We photograph a limited number of weddings each year, so every couple gets our full attention, from timeline planning to the final reveal.
Michael Anthony StudiosInvestment Questions
How is a wedding commission priced?
Coverage length is the starting point, and cinema, additional team members, and travel are added from there. Your calendar date matters too, weekdays are the most affordable way to work with us and holiday weekends carry a staffing adjustment. We will walk you through the full collection details the moment you reach out.
Why isn't there a price list on this page?
Because a wedding is not a checkout. Every day we photograph has a different timeline, venue, guest count, and family to look after, and a number on a page cannot tell you which collection is right for yours. Send us your date and we will send you everything, in writing, that same business day.
What's included in every commission?
Your engagement session, a designed heirloom album, a fully edited high-resolution gallery, and your wedding-day digital negatives. Cinema is available as an addition to any collection.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. A retainer reserves your date and the remaining balance is split into scheduled payments due before the wedding. Financing is available, and we are happy to build a schedule that works for you.
How do we reserve our date?
A signed agreement and a retainer reserve your date exclusively and take it off our calendar. We confirm every booking personally, and we take a limited number of weddings each year so peak Saturdays close first.
Do you travel?
Everywhere. Travel is included within Dallas-Fort Worth and our Southern California service area covering Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. We have photographed weddings across nine countries, and travel beyond our service areas is quoted openly before you sign anything.
What if our day doesn't fit a standard collection?
Then we build something that does. Multi-day celebrations, cultural ceremonies, additional coverage, and additional team members are all planned to your day. Call the studio and we will put it together properly.
Your Date Won’t Wait
