TIMELESS. AUTHENTIC. DETAILED. I believe in the amazing blessing of God giving us people in our lives to stand beside us long after the aisle. When the big day comes to a storybook end, you will leave your beautifully decorated ceremony and reception with your forever partner...and your pictures.  All of that planning and preparation is preserved in your images, so you'll want them to be high quality, elegant and authentic so that you can enjoy reminiscing over them for anniversaries to come.

Brandy is incredible! Not only does she make you feel super comfortable and at ease, but her work is amazing. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the pictures and album from our wedding. She has allowed me and my husband to have these memories forever.

The greatest gift we have ever received is time. I photograph as much of life as I can in order to preserve each of those moments as they once were. Time goes by so fast and sometimes we forget the small things, I started taking pictures because I want to be able to relive those wonderful moments as much as I could. I am learning new tricks of trade every day and experimenting with all the wonderful opportunities I am given. I travel all over the country to capture these cherished moments and love every second of it. Photography for me is a love and joy that if given the chance I can give those same moments back to you.

Breana Marie Photography is an incredible wedding photography vendor to work with. Her communication style is quick, efficient, and friendly. The quality of her work and value is amazing - she goes above and beyond for each couple they work with and delivers fast, high-quality results. Breana is such a friendly person who spreads joy with whoever she works with, and she is incredibly professional. I absolutely love working with Breana and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

When you close your eyes & imagine your wedding day, I'm sure it's not just the flowers, the dress, or the beautiful venue you see-it's the way your partner looks at you. The quiet, sacred moments shared between family. The joy that feels almost too big to put into words. Couples who value memories, who love timeless light & airy imagery & a photographer that puts your priorities first, whether that's making sure you get to read your private vows to each other or getting that one picture of your grandmother's pendant on your bouquet. I’m about you, all about you on your wedding day.

Arlene was so much fun to work with. She put a lot of thought into the photos she was taking and did an amazing job capturing our special day for us. We are in love with our beautiful photos. Thank you, Arlene!

They were amazing! I got my pictures back in less than a month and I loved them! They also have a video lite option and I ABSOLUTELY recommend it! I had very nice iphone pictures of my wedding less than a week after! We also got a video of the ceremony along with little clips from the day and I was able to make a wedding video with it; it was exactly what I wanted for an unbelievable price! I cannot recommend them enough! My photographer took every single picture I wanted and a ton that I didn't even think about. Choosing wedding vendors is incredibly stressful. I can make choosing a photographer really easy, just go with WFP. They have SO MANY packages that would fit any budget! They also have several different editing styles that you can choose from--which was just another amazing offering that I hadn't thought about until they asked. I cannot recommend this company enough! I had an amazing wedding day and they went above and beyond to make it amazing.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for the best photographer to capture your engagement/ wedding in the DFW area, you need to give Morgan @SimplyMo photography a call. We got married 11/8/2025. In October of 2024, we thought we found our photographer. We proceeded with an engagement photo shoot and found the original photographer we signed a contract with was not able to give us the natural, airy, rustic style we were looking for. After dealing with that disappointment we were nervous to move forward with another… then met Morgan. She LISTENED to everything we were looking for and she DELIVERED 10-fold. We had a blast with her at our engagement session and the photos were incredible. And at the wedding, we absolutely could not have done it without her. She took control, got our photo list accomplished, was so detail oriented. Between her and our DJ ( shout out Blacktie sounds, Jeff Burris) we were seriously blessed. From the moment we met morgan, she instilled confidence in us that all was going to go according to plan. She helped us dial in a timeline and stick to it. Morgan and her 2nd shooter stayed calm cool and collected. It was truly a luxury experience. She helped us mae memories and now we have those memories in print that we can keep forever and share with our future kids and family. Thank you Morgan for everything!

Exactly as you remember it.

Ashley did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos and was so wonderful!!! In downtown Fort Worth she knew all the best little nooks and spots for all the afternoon and sunset photos. At our wedding in Dripping Springs outside of Austin she also captured all the fun moments without us feeling like we were constantly posing or interrupting the moment for a photo, which is exactly what I wanted. She has a great eye for capturing the moment and all of the little details that made the day so wonderful. My absolute favorite part of working with her though, is how QUICK she is. By Monday morning after our wedding she had 150 wonderful photos to us! All my friends and family commented on how fast this was

I'm just an Okie from Muskogee... Actually I and my business partners are from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since 2010 We have been on a mission to tell your love story one wedding at a time. We pride ourselves on quality and customer service!

Justin and our second shooter (can’t remember his name!) were on top of photography throughout the whole day. They were discrete and also good at guidance and direction. We added a second shooter that was affordable and was open to helping with other things besides just the photography (fetched items for the groom). For the quality and quantity of photos we received, the price was very reasonable. They got a large amount of photos throughout the entire day. The one con was that the couples portraits seemed rushed, and we wish we had more time for that. Otherwise we had a fantastic day and would 100% trust them to capture our special memories again.

Ever since my first all nighter in the dark room developing my own film, I fell in love. Over the next few years, I took whatever classes I could get my hands on to learn more. I wanted to know it all. Photography is so amazing and beautiful, and I wanted to be a part of it.
