Can we customize coverage?

Yes. We'll build the right timeline and coverage around your day, then adjust pricing accordingly. If your day needs more or less than 9 hours, or if you'd like to add rehearsal coverage or skip the engagement session, we'll create the perfect fit.

do you travel for weddings?

Yes. Travel within 50 miles is included. Beyond 50 miles, travel costs are quoted based on location. For destination weddings, we'll provide a custom quote based on your plans.

how far in advance should we book?

We typically book weddings 9–15 months out. Some dates fill sooner, especially fall weekends, so if it feels like a fit, don't wait too long.

What’s the difference between Paul Reynolds and an Illume Studio photographer?

Paul personally photographs a limited number of weddings each year. His collections include direct communication, planning, and coverage from start to finish.

Illume Studio weddings are photographed by trusted members of our team who are trained in the same calm, honest, documentary style and edited by our in-house post-production team for a consistent final result.

What if we’re camera shy or akward in front of the camera?

Most of our couples say the same and still end up loving their photos. Our approach is quiet, intuitive, and never forced. We guide gently when needed and stay out of your way the rest of the time.
