Corpus Christi, TX Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Live oaks, limestone, ranch pavilions and receptions that run late — Corpus Christi does weddings generously.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi weddings tend to be big-hearted: large families, long toasts, dance floors that do not want to close. We cover the formals efficiently so there is time for portraits in the last light, then stay with the party until the exit.

Olivia Layne Studios works nationwide with senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included and a calendar kept small on purpose, so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we have not worked your exact venue yet we visit it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Corpus Christi is a surprise on the morning of.

The light in Corpus Christi

The hour you choose for the ceremony decides what your photographs look like, and that hour is specific to Corpus Christi. A June sunset here lands at 8:26 PM with golden hour from about 7:52 PM; by October the sun is down by 7:00 PM, a difference of 1 hour 26 minutes inside a single wedding season. Begin a Corpus Christi ceremony near the times in the table and the vows, family portraits and couple portraits all happen while the light is still soft and in front of you.

Where couples marry in Corpus Christi

The Corpus Christi venues couples ask us about most. We will not pretend to have worked every one of them, so when a venue is new to us we visit before your date and plan the day from the room itself: where the ceremony light falls, where family portraits hold up, and how long the walk from getting-ready to first look really takes.

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Corpus Christi, TX?

No. Olivia Layne Studios works nationwide and travel is part of every collection, so a Corpus Christi wedding is priced exactly like one in our own neighbourhood.

Not every venue in Corpus Christi, and we would rather say so. When a venue is new to us we visit before your date and plan the ceremony light, the portrait spots and the walking time between them.
