The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge sits about 7 miles from the center of Austin — 4.6 ★ from 215 Google reviews. Senior photographers and filmmakers, travel included, published pricing.
Hotels and resorts run on their own clock, and the best coverage respects it: getting-ready in real rooms, a ceremony that starts when the coordinator says so, and portraits slipped into the gap between cocktail hour and dinner. We coordinate with the venue team before the day so nobody is waiting on us.
From ranch ceremonies to rooftop city receptions, Austin weddings blend scale with warmth. We plan around big families, bigger sunsets, and dance floors that deserve coverage until the last song. If we haven’t worked The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge yet we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about the venue surprises us on the morning of.
At The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge the sun sets at 8:34 PM in June and 7:00 PM in October, with golden hour opening around 7:59 PM on a June evening and 7:05 PM in late September. Start a summer ceremony near 5:49 PM and you will still have the good light for portraits; in autumn move it an hour earlier. The full month-by-month table is on our Austin page.

Not yet — and we say so. We scout The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge before your wedding: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.
No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a wedding at The Vineyards at Chappel Lodge costs the same as one across the street from us.
Most Austin couples book eight to twelve months out; peak spring and autumn dates go first. A signed agreement and the retainer hold your date, and the balance is due two weeks before the wedding.
