What to Expect When Working With Velas Studio

Throughout the day, we work in a largely documentary way, observing moments as they unfold naturally. At the same time, we understand that portraits require a trained eye and confident direction. Many couples tell us they are not comfortable posing in front of the camera, that is where our experience becomes essential.

We use subtle guidance and proven techniques to help couples feel relaxed and natural, creating portraits that feel refined without looking staged. The balance between documentary coverage and carefully crafted portraits is what allows us to deliver a complete and cohesive wedding story.

We don’t approach weddings with a rigid formula. Each couple is different, and each wedding deserves a tailored approach. Our background allows us to work confidently in both documentary and editorial styles, and to shift the balance depending on what best represents the couple and the day.

Many photographers lean heavily in one direction. We believe true expertise comes from knowing when to step back and when to step in, without disrupting the natural flow of the wedding.

We work with both approaches deliberately.

Through our conversations with each couple, we learn what matters most to them. Some couples value a more documentary emphasis, others place greater importance on portraits and visual refinement. Our role is to listen, guide, and decide together how those elements are balanced.

Because every wedding is unique, the final result is never generic. You don’t adapt to our style, we adapt our approach to your wedding.

We typically work with three main collections, designed to cover different types of weddings. However, many of the weddings we photograph involve multiple events, extended coverage, or destination logistics.

For this reason, custom collections are often the most practical solution. Rather than forcing couples to choose between preset options, we frequently tailor a collection that fits the actual needs of the day and the couple.

Because no two weddings are the same.

Coverage length, location, number of events, and travel requirements all influence what makes sense for a specific wedding. Listing a fixed price would oversimplify a process that benefits from clarity and customization.

Our goal is to propose the right coverage, not the most convenient package.

Once you contact us, we first confirm availability for your date. If available, we schedule a brief video call to explain how we work and understand your plans.

After booking, we stay in touch as your wedding approaches. About a month before the event, you’ll receive a detailed questionnaire that helps us prepare thoroughly. At that stage, most key details are already defined, allowing us to work efficiently and intentionally on the wedding day.

After the wedding, your full gallery is delivered within 4 to 6 weeks, and we guide you through album design or any additional products you may wish to create. Additional calls or consultations are always available if needed, our priority is that you feel confident and supported throughout the process.

For destination weddings, we provide a single, all-inclusive fee.

This means couples don’t need to worry about flights, accommodation, transportation, or logistics. We handle everything independently and arrive fully prepared to work.

The goal is simple: one clear price, no added stress, and no logistical concerns for the couple.

You’ll receive a preview selection within 24 to 72 hours after the wedding, allowing you to relive the day and share moments with family and friends.

The full wedding gallery is delivered within 4 to 8 weeks, carefully edited and presented as a complete visual story of your day.
