What is your Photography Style?
Fun, playful, candid and artistic.
For Weddings, I would also say photojournalistic as I approach it as story-telling. I want you to be able to re-live that day through pictures and see all the beautiful details.

How long have you been in business?
I have been taking pictures professionally for almost 20 years.
How long have you been taking pictures?
I don't really like to admit how old I am, but this makes me seem ancient: 33 years! I've been taking pictures since I was about 10. I was always fascinated with picture taking and would take over the family camera whenever I could get my hands on it.
Can I view and share my pictures on-line?
Yes. All services include on-line viewing that you can share publicly or privately with password protection.
How many weddings will you book in one month?
I usually limit myself to two (2) weddings or events a month. This gives me time to thoroughly review, edit and work on albums so that I can have a finished product to you within about two weeks. It also allows me time to do portraits, as well as spend time with my family.
How many photos do you expect to take at my wedding?
An average wedding with about 200 people attending will generally range anywhere from 200 to 600 hundred. I've taken a lot more and I've taken fewer. It all depends on you, your guests, time-frame of coverage and the activities. The majority of the pictures I take are candid. I also take formals before and/or after the wedding, as well as at the reception if desired. I make sure to take pictures of details, guests, cake cutting, garter-throwing, etc. I also invite every couple to make a list of key formal pictures to make sure we don't forget any special groups or poses.
Do I have to take my portraits in a studio?
Absolutely not! I will go almost anywhere with you to take pictures. I have taken pictures in a lot of places over the years, so I can recommend a venue if you are unsure.
What is your home area?
I live in New Braunfels, Texas. My normal range of travel for pictures is the Austin/San Antonio corridor; however, I am available for other locations with advance arrangements. I am also available for international travel.
What should I wear for my portraits?
I recommend wearing something comfortable and that best represents your style. I would avoid plaids, neons and bold stripes. Visit my Notes section on my facebook page for more details and tips on what to wear.
What is required to book a wedding?
To book a wedding I require:
* A wedding date to make sure I am available.
* A face to face consultation to go over your wedding details and offer you a quote.
* A signed contract.
* A 50% deposit.

Why do you require a signed contract and deposit for weddings?
I require a contract because it is the best way to very clearly lay out expectations for both of us, including the date, time, cost, what you are purchasing, etc. A deposit is required in order to reserve the date and my time.
Who takes the pictures?
If you book my services, then I, Tracey Reynolds, take your pictures. I never re-sell, assign or otherwise have anyone else take your pictures.
