Why LGBTQ+ couples suit this studio

Jingaling Photography is LGBTQ+-owned. The studio focuses on candid moments, genuine emotion and personality rather than staged poses, which tends to work well when you do not want to be arranged into traditional roles. You can say how you want to be photographed, and expect it to be taken at face value.

What to expect

• Photography and film from a team led by a director
• Candid, emotion-focused coverage
• Service for local and destination weddings
• A calm, detail-oriented approach on the day

Choosing between photo and film

Because the studio has a film background, ask to see full wedding galleries and a full film, not only highlights. Check how the stills and the video are coordinated so the team does not get in each other's way during the ceremony. Ask how many people will attend and whether a second shooter is part of the package.

Before the wedding, send a timeline and a list of the family groupings you want. Tell the team about any relatives you would prefer not to feature, and about names and pronouns to use when guests are introduced.

Where they work

The studio is based in Austin and also takes destination weddings. Ask how travel is handled, and book early for a spring or fall weekend in Central Texas.

Questions to ask
