“Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)”

“The Sound Originals team were fantastic people to work with, not only due to their professionalism, but also because they were great people to have around. They were extremely comfortable and friendly while working with us and taking photos. Even when it came down to the dogs, 2 of which were panicking because they are rescues and being around so many people stressed them out, this didn't even phase the Sound Originals team which impressed me the most. Their professionalism with their gear was truly amazing to see (we have some professional photographers in our family who were commenting on this too), you could tell they knew how to handle their equipment. One thing that I loved was that they took the time to create cute photogenic moments to capture with the camera that would normally be over so fast, you would probably miss it. Every photo, from the goofy spur of the moment reactions - to the posed adorable moments, came out beautifully. Thank you Sound Originals for working with us! We couldn't have asked for better photographers.”

  • Serves Bardwell, TX

As I’m writing this, my wife and I are about to celebrate 14 years of marriage together, and we’re raising three amazing kids along the way. The older I get, the more I believe weddings were never meant to be about perfection. They’re about promises, people, and the beginning of a real life together. That belief is at the heart of my approach and the reason behind my slogan: No Rules, Only Vows. Because somewhere along the way, the wedding industry started chasing perfection so hard that it forgot about honesty. If your wedding film could preserve one thing forever, what would it be?

“Jeremy is such a joy to work with! His personality is truly one of a kind—he’s warm, upbeat, and makes you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. What really stands out about Jeremy is his creativity. He brings such unique ideas to the table, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys thinking outside the box to create something special. If you’re looking for someone who brings positive energy and a fresh perspective to your session, Jeremy is definitely someone you’ll enjoy having around!”

Hi I’m Kari! I am an elopement and wedding photographer based in Texas but I am available to travel!!! Love has so much beauty and comes in so many forms which is why I love capturing it so much. Its never the same and everyone has their own love story. Telling that story is what I was meant for. Capturing the details, the raw moments, the beautiful imperfect moments, the moments that are filled with so much emotion and the moments you don’t get to see is what I was made for.

“Kari was a dream to work with! We were scrambling to make new plans after rescheduling our original plans due to COVID and she took a huge weight off of our shoulders. She helped us put together an idyllic elopement in about 2 months. The day before the wedding, she scoped out the location and sent me pictures so I could be involved in the process, which I really appreciated! I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day - it was absolutely perfect! And Kari captured the moments so wonderfully, you can really feel all the emotions when you look at the pictures! Thank you, Kari! We appreciate you!!!!”

You’ll never want to forget your wedding day: the smell of your fresh bouquet, the moment when you grab your love’s hand at the altar, that romantic first kiss… And with exceptional wedding photography — images that balance light and composition to capture big smiles, happy tears, belly laughs and every emotion in between — you’ll never have to. Welcome to Photography of Sarah Mae.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We couldn't have picked a better photographer for our proposal, engagement and wedding photos. My husband made my dreams come true by A.) asking me to marry him and B.) securing a secret photographer to capture it! Meeting Sarah literally moments after being proposed to was a little startling but all that faded quickly. She was conscious to get great photos while not interrupting the moment and she seemed to be just as excited as I was. It was a no-brainer to continue to work with her for our engagement and wedding photos too. She put so much time into getting to know us, what we like, researching our wedding venue (Perot Museum) and setting a schedule of where to take photos and at what time in the evening would be best. She was easy to get in touch with pre and post-wedding and took the time to answer any questions we had, even late at night. We received sneak peeks of each session (proposal, engagement and wedding) very quickly and the quality was great. We're looking forward to working with her in the years to come. I would highly recommend her for your wedding, family photos or anything you want professionally captured.”

Wedding photography for fun, loving people. I don’t have “-zillas”. Why? Because the people who hire me are happy people in love who really just want to be married. It’s that simple. No fuss, but some frills. Lots of laughter, lots of hugs, and from me…lots of bad dance moves. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to capture genuine, raw emotions and real moments shared with your friends and family, look at the packages below and let’s find one that works best for you and yours. I believe that any two people who love and respect each other should be married. (If this isn’t your M.O, we may not be a great team.)

“Cortnie is seriously the best photographer. She is so personable and does amazing work. She really knows how to capture the emotions happening throughout the wedding. From crying (good crying of course) to laughing she will get it all. <3 Can't say enough about her!”

“From our first conversation, we knew Morgan Elise Photography was the right choice for our engagement photos, wedding day and loved her work so much, we asked her to do our maternity shoot as well. She has this playful energy that instantly puts you at ease—even when I was 31 weeks pregnant, she made me feel beautiful and comfortable in my own skin. Morgan's encouragement and humor kept us relaxed throughout the shoot, reminding us to have fun instead of stressing about getting the perfect shot. Her photos capture something truly special: they're natural and ethereal, with a whimsical quality that feels dreamy. The work is elite-level, but what really sets her apart is how she sees your story and brings it to life in a way that feels uniquely yours. We couldn't be happier with Morgan and would recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about making your day feel effortless and joyful.”

I’ve always been a very “why not?” person. I like making things, trying new things, finding weird little places, and meeting people who are doing life their own way.

You don't want your wedding day to feel like a five-hour photoshoot. You want to actually live it.

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”
