I 100% recommend using “Original Weddings” located in Texas. For 6 hours we payed well under 2,000 for light and airy style with others to choose from. Our photographer was so nice and friendly and helped us make our day comfortable. She was more than a photographer. We opted for our editing to take 4-12 weeks and at the 4 week mark we got our photos. Over 500 breathtaking photos were sent to us in our easy to use client portal. We can also send a guest link to our family members so they can download or print the photos they are in. Everyone was so helpful and the customer service from everyone we were in contact with was very impressive! Highly recommending to our friends as well.

Brandon is an exceptionally talented photographer. The photos he took of me and my husbands wedding are astounding. Everything, from the lighting to the very quintessence of our day of joy, is captured perfectly in every picture. He was easy to communicate with, very kind and professional, and he was able to photo so many amazing moments without ever making it feel scripted or chintzy!

We make wedding photography unbelievably fun and easy! Our unparalleled experience, professionalism and talent means that you will get amazing photos and video that you will bring back those amazing memories forever. Throughout the wedding planning process, you can expect clear communication, expert advice, technical and creative talent and some serious fun.

From our initial introductory phone call, I was beyond impressed with Bethany at Elevate. She was so prepared and walked me through things even our wedding coordinator had not mentioned. After just that one phone call, I knew she was the photographer I wanted, and I could not be happier that we found her! Bethany was so laid back and fun at our engagement shoot, she even won over my husband who absolutely hates having his photo taken. She was super communicative, and always positive, reassuring and calm/cool/collected. She listened to all of our requests and was patient and flexible with everything leading up to and on the day of, despite some chaos with family and weather. Elevate's pricing is competitive (honestly, I was expecting to pay more for everything we got). They also include a slideshow during the wedding reception, which I have to admit I was hesitant about and actually considered asking them not to do, but am so glad I didn't! Countless guests commented on how amazing the slideshow was and how they'd never been to a wedding that had that before -- people got teared up. And it was so fun to take a couple minutes to pause and relive some of the moments from earlier in the day. We got both our engagement and wedding photos back within a month, and they are just superb. I had a couple questions that came up when ordering our album and McCory was quick to respond and unbelievably helpful. Elevate is just simply the best. Stop looking - hire Elevate now!

From the moment we booked Blue Spruce Photography Videography, we knew we were in excellent hands. Beau and his team were incredibly communicative, professional, and personable throughout the entire process. Their clear and thoughtful approach put us at ease, and their high-quality, incredible work truly captured the story of our special day. Beau's style of capturing candid moments between us, our family, and friends never felt forced or posed, and we felt so comfortable being in front of the camera (despite not being used to that at all!). The examples of Blue Spruce's work speak for themselves - we were blown away at how perfectly they captured our wedding, and we will cherish these images for the rest of our lives!

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

Josh and I got engaged on 2/20/25 and Josh had hired Bri to photograph our engagement! She hid, I had no idea till after I was engaged. She did a wonderful job catching such a raw and beautiful moment between us!! Her and Josh even had to make a last minute plan and change locations for the surprise engagement due to weather, and she was very flexible, and worked with Josh the night before, and the plan worked out amazing, I still had no clue!! Bri is an amazing choice for a photographer for any occasion! Thank you Bri!

I love my job because I’m passionate about capturing people in a way that is beautiful and different from how they usually see themselves when they look in the mirror. I’m here for all the magical golden hour photos, the dance floor candids, the sweet details and everything in between!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is more than just an incredible photographer, friend throughout the entire process. Back in February, I was scrambling to plan a last minute proposal and had spent months looking for someone I could trust. Katie came through in every possible way. Not only did she help me pull off the proposal flawlessly, but she also helped plan the entire experience, from the perfect location to places we could go afterward to celebrate. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made both me and my fiancée feel, especially since I’m not usually very photogenic. She brought such a calm, warm presence to the shoot, and her flexibility and thoughtful suggestions made everything stress free. Katie wasn’t just our photographer, she became a special part of our story. We’re now planning our wedding and genuinely hope to have Katie there not just behind the camera, but as a guest and friend. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly goes above and beyond.

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos!

Wow, where do I begin?? When going through photographers in the Minnesota area for engagements, it was a very overwhelming process! I somehow stumbled upon Mckenzie’s website and immediately knew she was the person I wanted to take our photos!! I truly believe her personality, warmth and comfort is beautifully portrayed through the photos she takes! You can tell how comfortable and relaxed my fiancé and I were and it truly felt just like another close friend taking pictures of us! Nothing was awkward or uncomfortable. It was probably one of the best experiences we’ve ever had!! I could not be happier with how these photos turned out and how much effort and time she put into editing and making sure everything was absolutely perfect and beautiful for us! I would 100% recommend McKenzie to anybody looking to get any sort of photography done of themselves or with their partner!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole Henshaw! Our wedding at the top of Four Points Resort in Steamboat Springs, Colorado was nothing short of magical, and Nicole played a huge part in making it so. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, professional, and incredibly communicative with both the bridal party and our families. She helped us capture moments we would have never thought to ask for, and her attention to detail was impeccable. Nicole made sure that every key moment was covered from start to finish- ceremony, reception, and the after-party that lasted well into the evening. Her ability to read the room and know exactly what to capture at each moment was astonishing- especially because we didn’t know every detail of what to ask for. Her intuitiveness, creativity, and beautiful eye for photography are so evident in every shot we received back. We are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer and would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you, Nicole, for helping us relive the magic of our special day through your incredible work!

Cameron was incredible and a vital part of our special day. I had also used Cameron for our engagement pictures, and he played a role in setting up the proposal moment as well (his acting skills are movie worthy :-)). His work represents awareness, attention to detail, but most importantly he is a blast to be around and makes the day fun. Not only did my wife and I love Cameron, both of our family’s saw him as part of the wedding and not just the photographer. We would highly recommend him for any style of event. We will continue to use him for all events down the road.

For many years I was a four-star chef. I got into photography to have creative control over the pictures of my food. One day I was working for a caterer at a wedding, and the photographer asked if I could fill in for his assistant. I thought why not, and I haven’t looked back since that fateful day when I traded in my knife for a camera. While I was a chef, I felt personally responsible for my customers’ happiness. I feel the same way about photographing your wedding. I want to create a unique personal experience for every bride and groom. I like to foster a fun and relaxed atmosphere during the shoots.

Patrick was our lead photographer. He was able to work with our associate photographer and videographer smoothly. Our ceremony changed because of rain causing the space to change and be much smaller. I was worried about how this would impact the photos. I’m so happy with how the photos came out and was able to see how Patrick got creative and maneuvered around to still get great shots! We had originally chosen him for his unique style of taking photos with different focuses and the very creative pictures. He did not disappoint. My favorite photos of the day were these uniquely set up photos. We had a few hiccups along the day with our venue but the calming voice of Patrick helped me feel better about our day. Our day was cold and he encouraged our friends and family he’d get the right photos quickly so they could go inside and warm up. I would definitely recommend him for your engagement or wedding photos.

Photography is my passion and my business. I started on my photography journey in high school using a film camera which quickly grew into a love for the art of capturing important moments in life. My passion and skill in wedding photography has grown immensely in the last decade, and I have had the opportunity to shoot in locations like Maui, Charleston and Cape Fear.

Lauren of LP Wedding Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Her open, kind, and humorous communication style made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. As a true master of her craft, Lauren has an exceptional eye for capturing emotional moments with grace and skill. She was flexible and fun during our portrait sessions, guiding us while still ensuring we got the photos we envisioned. Lauren's time management was impeccable despite my lack of such. When asked on a vendor survey if they were our favorite, we said no, it was Lauren - her passion, creativity, and professionalism shone through to deliver incredible photos we will treasure forever.

Hi, my name is Kimberly and I’m a witness and documenter of truth. I've specialized in Wedding & Portrait Photography for the last 10 years and am grateful to call in my full time career. I’ve been blessed with photographing over 180 weddings and it is truly the biggest honor to witness a wedding day and freeze it in time. In my free time my favorite thing to do is spend quality time with family, friends, and cats. I love adventuring with my husband and feel most at home being outdoors exploring new places.

I don’t think works can describe how instrumental Kimberly was to making our wedding planning and wedding day memorable. From our first phone call we instantly knew we found the right person. Our engagement pictures turned out better than we imagined and my boudoir shoot was the most empowering experience ever!! We both never take pictures so had anticipated this process to be uncomfortable, but had the complete opposite experience. She is now stuck with us for every major milestone! Not only did we have fun but truly felt that our personalities were captured and the joy she captured was palpable. This was the best investment we made to fully capture such a memorable!! Our guests also had nothing but positive things to say and echoed our sentiments on how enjoyable she made our day!

Rose is the most incredible photographer I have ever worked with! She has such an eye for capturing the beautiful little details that mean so much on your wedding day. We got married in a standard ceremony with reception afterwards, which she shot just perfectly. She also did our engagement photo shoot which we loved! There were so many times looking through our wedding gallery where I was pleasantly surprised she had captured a specific moment during our wedding and reception, as I hadn't even noticed she was there taking a picture! She has such an eye for the little interactions between family members. She is also so skilled at incorporating movement into your photos so they aren't just standard posed pictures (which she can also do beautifully) but instead photos of my husband and I running through a field/walking around/him twirling me, etc. Truly cannot get over how beautiful our wedding photos are - all thanks to Rose! She is also a breath of fresh air to have nearby throughout the day - there was a lot of stress and activity going on and she was such a calming presence. 10/10 recommend Rose as your wedding or elopement photographer! Well worth the money to have these photos you will look at and remember the day for the rest of your life.

I encourage my couples to push for what they want on their wedding day- whether that's a white dress on a golf course or something free from tradition.

Katie was SO fun & great to work with. She braved 1 degree temps to get me the engagement photos I’d been dreaming of! I cannot wait to have her shoot our wedding in January! If you are considering booking Katie, DO IT! She is kind, fun, & down to earth. If you want beautiful photos & a great experience, Katie is the one!

We loved working with Emmy both on a wedding and for a styled shoot. She made everything so easy and got the photos to us really quickly! Her photos have a lot of heart behind them, she doesn't just point the camera at the subject and snap the photo.
