Ceelo Creative 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
  • 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!

Ceelo Creative was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, he was friendly, professional and open-minded, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Chris did a great job of giving us lots of options for couple photos and was happy to get lots of shots of us with our family members. The lighting in our photos is simply stunning, and really captures all the special moments of our day. We are thrilled with the quality of Ceelo Creative's work and the value they provided. Highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer!

Every couple has a story, and at Brownie Photography & Production, I live to tell those stories. As an award-winning photographer and filmmaker, I focus on the things that make you, well, you.

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!

Double Knot Pictures | Photo + Video 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,970

Our small team of award-winning photographers and videographers celebrate the candid, authentic beauty of your day. Because when you look back on your album you should remember the fun, easy, imperfect, personal moments that make you, you -- not how long you had to pose.

We cannot recommend Double Knot enough for wedding wedding photography and videography. Shaun and Chris (videographers) and Dashun and Vic (photographers) went above and beyond for our VERY long wedding day. Our traditional Vietnamese-Filipino wedding was a 15-hour day that consisted of a traditional morning tea ceremony, Filipino religious ceremony, and a 400-person Vietnamese-style reception. The Double Knot team was extremely patient throughout the entire chaotic wedding day. They made the perfect music video to the song we chose and an amazing full-length documentary. The audio was excellent and quality as well. The photos were so well-edited, and so many beautiful moments were captured. Their turnaround time was also extremely fast! We will always be thankful for having Double Knot, and we’re sure any other couple will be, too!

Tyler Gets Weird 
Rating: 5.0 (17 reviews)
Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Offer

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.

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.

Allie was amazing! She had so many ideas for poses and locations and used her knowledge and expertise to craft really great shots. She was super friendly and very easy to talk to and work with!

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!

Tia is the best! We had so much fun with her on our wedding day! She understood that we wanted to get as many of the formal photos done pre ceremony so we could get to the actual party after. She captured some amazing images that I will treasure forever, and it’s only been a week so I’ve only seen the sneak peeks, there are still more to come! She was professional and thorough, we had a few calls prior to the big day to go over details and make sure we were all on the same page. Your photographer is the person you will send the most time with on your wedding day, so pick someone fun to be around! Tia is that person!

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.

Two Pair Photography

Austin, TX
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800

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!

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 was the perfect choice to capture the moments of our special day!!! Seriously!!! Sam went the extra mile to get to know us personally and really was cognizant of our personality and how to match it up with a photography style. Sam was extremely professional. Our wedding was very small and low key but did wonderfully capturing all the moments you look back on and feel that rush of happiness. I would strongly urge anyone looking for a photographer for a wedding or any event to use Sam!

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. He captured the moments we will treasure forever in a way I didn't think was possible! You can't go wrong with John as your photographer. I do recommend you book with him early as he was pretty thoroughly booked this summer.

Photography isn't just my career—it’s my lifestyle. I’m a lover of Jesus, RV travels, and dancing through life. My 'thing'? Capturing the magic of weddings and portraits through the glow of natural light. Using a blend of photojournalism and fine art, I focus on 'directed' storytelling rather than stiff poses. The result?

For those playfully and deeply in love! Color and Beam provides artful film and digital hybrid wedding and elopement photography based in Southern California and Texas, available for travel. I’m a storyteller, but the picture book kind. I usually skip the words and pore over the pictures. I geek out over colors, light, and movement, so it makes a lot of sense that photography is where I’ve landed.

Haley shot our engagement photos and wedding ceremony/reception and I can say without question that she transformed already special days into priceless memories. 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. She does not chase trends that will end up dating your photos in a few years. You can expect quality and stunning results. Book Haley!

You spend your entire wedding day with your photographer, and Nicole is who you want on your team on your big day.

She stayed in close contact with my planner when we changed venues 3 weeks before the wedding, visited the site beforehand, and came with lots of ideas. She nailed my vision from start to finish. Her assistant was also a pleasure to work with & kept our rowdy group wrangled & on time. 10/10 would recommend!

Chris is easy-going and relaxing to work with right from the jump. His creative eye always found a way to incorporate our surroundings yet he always was able to capture a natural expression. 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.

We are soo happy that we had Betsy photographing our weddingday. She made it so special. We felt totally comfortable with her around us. She knew what kind of photos we wanted and gave us what we wanted and more. She is am amazing photographer. but also a great and kind, sweet och easygoing person. We recommend her with all our hearts.
