Good Questions

Everything, answered

The details couples ask about most — before they ever have to ask.

Do you really travel anywhere?

Yes. Olivia Layne Studios is a national studio and travel is built into every collection. No mileage math, no surprise line items. If your day is happening in the United States, we will be there.

Is the engagement session included?

It is complimentary with every Photography & Film collection. If you book photography or film on its own, you can add a one-hour engagement session at checkout for $200.

How far out should we book?

Most couples reserve 9–18 months ahead; peak Saturdays go first. A signed agreement holds the date — an inquiry alone does not.

Photo, film, or both?

Both, if the budget allows — they answer different questions. Photographs hold the details; film holds the voices. Our combined collections are priced to make choosing both the easy call, and they are the only ones with a complimentary engagement session.

How many images do we get?

A full wedding typically delivers several hundred fully edited images — every keeper, not a teaser set — in a private online gallery you can download and share. You own the files.

When is everything delivered?

Sneak peeks within days; complete galleries and films on the date written in your agreement. We hit our dates.

Do we get the raw footage?

Yes. Raw footage is included with every film collection, so the full uncut ceremony exists somewhere other than a phone.

What if our venue is somewhere you have never shot?

Then we scout it before your wedding — light, sound, logistics — so the day itself has zero improvisation.

How do payments work?

Listed prices are pay-in-full. Prefer a plan? Add $500 to any collection, put 50% down when you sign, and the balance is charged automatically two weeks before your wedding. Your card is saved securely by our payment processor; nothing is charged until you sign.

How do we reserve our date?

Choose a collection on the reservation page, sign the agreement online, and your date is held. The whole thing takes about five minutes.
