Ceelo Creative 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Austin, TX

I started my photography journey taking photos of my wife. Watching her come to life with confidence was the greatest feeling in the world. And when she used that confidence to overcome her negative self-image, I knew I was onto something. I initially set out to ensure everyone I worked with knew what this felt like. After shooting with models and brands for a few years, I was asked to photograph my first wedding and the experience was unreal. Watching the sheer joy and happiness of the couple on their big day was so heartwarming and pure. I fell in love with capturing couples and haven't looked back since!

We are so happy we booked CeeloCreative for our event! Chris made us feel so comfortable and encouraged us to laugh and have fun. Even with the wedding hiccups, Chris was so helpful and kind throughout the whole experience. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we're so grateful he was there to help capture our beautiful day.

Morgan Elise Photography LLC

Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I AM MAGIC. AND SO ARE YOU. I am a storyteller — a romantic at heart, a seeker of beauty, and a quiet observer of the in-between. My name is Morgan Elise, and I am a documentary-rooted, editorial-inspired wedding photographer based in Austin, Texas — though I’ll follow love wherever it takes me.

Awarded Best of Zola
There's nothing I could say that could convey enough how much I love and appreciate everything Morgan has done for us. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!! Morgan manages to capture the energy of a moment in a way that every time I look at my pictures, I'm right back in that moment - which is everything I asked for and more!! From the engagement pictures and bridals to our wedding pictures, I'm so in love with everything she's delivered. Neither my (new) husband nor I are super in to photo sessions, but Morgan manages to make you so comfortable it seriously just ends up coming naturally. So many of my wedding guests and family commented on how great she was at the wedding, and how nice and funny she was as well!!! Something that cannot go unsaid is that for every shoot, I got sneak peeks almost immediately after the shoot, and the full album like the next day!!! Even our wedding was delivered just a little over a week later, and as someone who has read one too many internet horror stories of lost wedding albums, this was a god send. And at the end of the wedding night she gave me the absolute cutest little album full of all of our film pictures!!! Which, like everything else that day, made me cry!!! I can definitely say that any opportunity we get for pictures in the future - we'll be using Morgan!! The kindest soul, and so amazing at what she does!! I think I've told her directly about 3000 times, but I have to say it again - she is the absolute best!!!

Ashley and her team were so amazing to work with on November 2, 2024. This was our first collaboration as wedding planner and photographer. She and her team worked really hard to make sure my clients needs were met even when a rain storm was in our location. Thank you so much for your flexibility and for understanding my timeline, she even had sneak peek photos in my inbox that following Monday talk about a quick turnaround!

Tyler Gets Weird

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

After getting out of the Marine Corps and photographing weddings for a larger "big box" company, I decided I wanted my own brand that really connects and cares about the couples I work with. And here we are 4 years later. I am a very "unprofessional professional". I love to have a good time and I embrace weirdness (will do your wedding for free if you're wearing all denim) but at the same time I also am very Type A; I love a good spreadsheet, I'm punctual, logistically minded, extremely detail oriented, and I will always advocate and/or problem solve for my couples on wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn't be more satisfied with Tyler as the photographer for my wedding back in July 2024. This weirdo (joking) was great at making everyone smile, even the not so photogenic folks. But where I'd say my experience with Tyler differs from being just a "photographer", is everything else he did on the wedding day. I was heavily involved in my wedding planning however, on the wedding day I started losing my braincells. Tyler was right there alongside my groomsmen helping me keep track of where I needed to be and what I was supposed to do next. Our photos were amazing and I'd have no doubts choosing Tyler for my next major life event. Or minor event. Whatever happens next.

Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style

KURO Creative House (formerly Hereafter Films) is a wedding production house of talented videographers & photographers serving Central Texas & the Pacific Northwest. Throw out the stress of formulaic & performative weddings. We want you to have an experience-driven, true-to-you celebration with cohesive & creative wedding photography & videography to remember it all. When your veil flies in your face, when you wipe your tears on your sleeve, when you dance until you can't breathe, that's where we thrive.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hereafter Films was one of the first vendors we booked early on in the wedding planning process, and we are sooooooo glad we did! Ryan and Sharayah were amazing to work with, along with their entire team. They photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and honestly, both sets of photos came out better than we could have imagined! Photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding. We really wanted our day to be captured in a way that felt authentic, emotional, and true to who we are, and Hereafter ABSOLUTELY nailed it! We looked at a lot of photographers, but the second we saw their portfolio, we were sold. Their style immediately stood out, and the fact that they shoot 35mm film was huge for us. The Super 8 option was such a fun bonus and made us even more excited about working with them. Their work feels timeless, intentional, and full of real emotion. On the wedding day itself, it felt incredible knowing we didn’t have to worry about a single thing when it came to photography and video. We trusted their creative process 1000%, and they truly made the entire day feel effortless. They handled our family and friends with so much patience, care, and ease, and so many people kept telling us how wonderful they were. Looking through our photos now instantly brings us right back to how the day felt, which is something we’ll always be grateful for. Beyond their obvious talent and artistry, Ryan and Sharayah are just genuinely awesome, laid-back, fun people to be around, and their calm, cool energy made such a difference. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them capture one of the most important days of our lives. 1000000% recommend booking Hereafter Films!

Hi I'm Allie! I am a photographer and videographer based in Austin, TX. I have 17+ years experience in the wedding industry. Growing up, my Dad did wedding photography (on film!) and did that all throughout my childhood. Eventually, I got to tag along with him and he realized I had a natural eye for a good shot. Whenever I do weddings now, it always makes me nostalgic for the days I got to spend learning from him. Years later, he gifted me my first camera. Now, I have experience with weddings, short films, portraits, and more. If my work makes a connection with you, then I know I did my job.

Amazing, outstanding, and very professional. Allie was very good at providing affordable options and the quality of the photos was great! Please utilize Allie/HGP for your photography needs. She is sweet, punctual, personable, and her work is absolutely amazing!

Hey, thanks SO much for being here! I am honored you are checking out my page. I became a full time wedding photographer after realizing my connection to capturing love stories. I value connection, transparency, and having a fun time with my couples!

First off, Tia is one of the sweetest human beings I have ever worked with! My husband and I were lucky enough to be in Yosemite at the same time as Tia and her boyfriend (hello fate??) and we had the best engagement session! We were, then, lucky enough to have her photograph our wedding in May. We're so happy we chose Tia to photograph all our special moments as our photos turned out better than we ever could've imagined. Being able to relive all our moments and feel the emotions through the photographs is truly so special. On top of that, Tia is so pleasant to work with - she is attentive, present, and always prepared for anything photo related (and more!). Her communication is so fast - always keeping me updated with changes if there were any. Everything felt like a collaborative effort which I so appreciated, especially in the wedding industry. At the end of the day, throughout my wedding planning process, I felt so supported working with Tia and felt like I had a friend capturing all our special moments. Tia photographs everything so beautifully and authentically and her photos will be timeless memories in our home for years to come.

You want a photographer who knows what she’s doing, someone who can handle anything, read the room, and make you feel at ease from the first hello. I don’t show up to take photos, I show up to protect how your day feels. I guide you through the chaos, read the room, and make sure you never have to wonder what’s next. My couples choose me because they want art that feels alive and someone who actually gives a damn about their story.

Rebecka was excellent in every way and the bridal and wedding day photos are some of the best that I have ever seen! She has an amazing eye and always seems to find the perfect shot.

Two Pair Photography

We are the eyes behind TWO PAIR PHOTOGRAPHY. We are high school sweethearts. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’ve shot hundreds of weddings and it never gets old. We operate on a glass half full mentality for life. Sometimes sans rules. We shoot people for a living. Weddings, Engagements, Families, Brides, Seniors… We are Chad + Tressie and we love LOVE!

We booked Two Pair Photography less than a month out from our big day after switching from another photographer for other reasons. The fact that they responded quickly (the week of Thanksgiving), kindly, and compassionately meant the world! Fast forward to the day of, and they are there with two shooters, on-time. The main photographer (and one of the business owners), Chad, worked two locations that morning as the groom got ready at the hotel and the bride got ready at the venue. We had him for the full ten hours. The directed portraits portion of our wedding with our family and wedding party was also a blast! In less than three weeks after the wedding (with the holidays in the middle), we received 1000s of stunning photos! Talk about a great turnaround! Two Pair gave us a shareable link for our friends, family, and other vendors. Going through the photos has been such a delight. We've had so many friends tell us, "There will be 5-10 photos you love, and the rest will be okay." That is hardly the case for us - as we have fallen in love with 100s of them from the shoot! Absolutely worth the price and then some!

Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style

I’m a hopeless romantic that's in an international long-distance marriage for almost ten years. I really enjoy documenting weddings. It’s one giant Rubik's Cube of composing interesting images, telling family history, figuring out the optimal light, and just getting to know people. My passion is to keep pushing my art and create a timeless product you will still cherish 50 years from now. I want to create honest photos that capture the realness of your relationships. I want to do more than tell a story, I want to capture the feelings and emotions of the day. I want to capture your quirkiness, your happiness, and the quiet moments in between.

Sam took the time to get to know me and my fiancé and totally got our vibe. It was clear that he had studied my wedding photography Pinterest board, had seen and understood my vision for wedding photos that were more elevated and editorial than some of the more typical wedding photographs. We have gotten non-stop compliments on our wedding photos but more importantly, my fiancé and I LOVE them. They are the perfect representation of us. And now for businessy things: Sam was punctual, always on time (usually early!) for everything from initial calls to the actual day of. He was SO polite and patient when our relatives were being annoying and asking him to take a photo on their iPhones. (eye roll, sorry Sam!!!) He was great a corralling the crowd for group portraits and he was not intrusive at all during the ceremony. Honestly, I kind of forget he was even there. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and we felt really lucky to get to have him on our wedding. TLDR: Sam slayed this and I would recommend him to everyone

We'll be fast friends before you know it. Your wedding season can be so busy - we take the time to capture the moments you'll want to look back on. Trust we will honor your vision and make you feel like YOU on your big day.

McKenzie captured the vibe of our wedding absolutely perfectly. She photographed both our welcome event and our wedding day, and it felt natural to have her as a part of our group. We had an intimate backyard wedding, and McKenzie corralled folks into the perfect photo groupings without it feeling pushy. The photos all have a romantic feel about them, and looking back at them I get all the same energy that I felt the moment they were taken. I'm so happy she was there to capture our special day, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone to capture their special moments.

Wedding photography is so much more than snapping a few frames. It's about being a part of the experience, making connections, and meeting new people. Whether it's laughter, joy, or romance, there is nothing better than being able to show what a couple's love is all about through images. I care about the moments first and foremost. Let's create some magic, make memories, and have an experience that you won't soon forget!

John is the best! Our wedding pictures came out better than I could have imagined. He is incredibly responsive, open to your ideas and suggestions, and goes above and beyond.

With over 30+ years in the industry, photography is not only my passion but a lifestyle, is all I ever wanted to be. I love Jesus! I love RV traveling, hiking, the beach and dancing! Wedding and portrait photography are my thing, capturing the brides with beautiful natural light coming through a window, a door, wherever the sun leaks is what I truly love. My photojournalistic and fine art photography styles result in stunning true to life moments, and portraits that are not "posed", but rather "directed", in a natural way that is true to who you are.

I can not say enough good things about Taylor!! She goes above and beyond to make sure your photos are outstanding for your big day! She is extremely kind, professional and accommodating. The services she provides are second to none. The quality is high, the price is affordable. My husband and I felt so comfortable with her and she captured our moments perfectly! Taylor is the absolute best, her personality is amazing, she makes you laugh, she makes you feel good about yourself! She knows how to find the lighting and how to have you pose so it’s natural. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer! She is by far the best! I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you again Taylor for all of your amazing work!! XOXO

She is a calm, cool, collected presence to work with and put us both at ease while shooting. She captured our wedding expertly and her photos are some of my all-time favorites. By shooting on film and using those colors as a basis, I know that our wedding album will have that timeless quality for the next ten, twenty, and 50 years.

We had a few different locations for our engagement shoot and in each location, he was able to find something unique, experimented with different framing, but was always able to keep us at ease in front of a camera. Overall he made the day really special and we left with a memorable set of images that we see every day on our walls! It was great working with him and I'll jump at any chance to do it again.

My interest in photography sparked when I was young as I watched my dad photograph everything around him. I asked for my first camera when I was 8 years old, and from the first moment it was in my hands, I couldn't put it down. I photographed EVERYTHING from bugs to people to Beanie Babies, filling shoeboxes with negatives and little 3x5 prints. After coloring "backdrops" on notebook paper for each beanie babie and having a full-on photo shoot, I knew photography would be a part of my life forever. :P I photographed my first wedding in November, 2008: over 200 weddings, 7 countries, and 20 states later, and I am still loving every second.

Betsy shot our wedding as well as multiple family sessions for us and we can’t sing her praises any higher! I hate having my photo taken but she makes me (and everyone else) feel incredibly comfortable. She keeps things light and fun while still being a total professional! Our walls are covered with her photos and they bring us such joy.
