Married to my wife, Kaari, for 30 years. Father of two girls and two boys. They’re my life and inspiration. I love coffee and kolaches, watching episodes of "24", and I don’t take faith or freedom for granted. I feel like my extended family grows with every client I serve. During the past 20 years, I’ve been honored to photograph hundreds of weddings in the Greater Houston Area. “Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of a feeling the artist has experienced” ~ Leo Tolstoy

We hired Slava as photographer for our wedding and reception at Bentwater Yacht and Country Club on Oct 3. He listened to our aspirations and responded with beautiful, well-composed photography. He was collaborative, inobtrusive, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

Sound Originals was beyond incredible for my wedding. I communicated to them that I wanted to add video a few months out from my wedding and it was a stress free process. My husband and I are a bit awkward when taking photos and my photographer and videographer were so great in helping us get comfortable and trying different poses that made us less awkward in front of the camera. They both helped keep the energy high all throughout the night and my only regret was not hiring them for longer to capture things that had happened after they left. My bridal party and guests were telling me how great my photographer and videographer were. I just got my photos back and they are exactly what I wanted; Moody, slightly editorial with some candid moments. I can’t recommend Sound Originals enough and I will be recommending them to friends and family that are in need of a photographer/videographer

From the moment we first reached out to Evoke Photography & Video, their communication was great. The photographer, Sarah, got everything done that needed to be done to capture our special day. When we received the final photos, we were so amazed at the quality and beauty of her work. The pictures were incredible, especially the family portraits and the stunning sunset shots. We were so excited to show everyone, and they all loved the photos just as much as we did. The sunset in the background made for such beautiful, warm lighting.

From the moment we first connected back in 2020 at my sister's wedding, it was clear that Philip's work was something truly special. His unique style captures not just images, but emotions and moments in a way that is both artistic and genuine. On our wedding day, Philip brought a wonderful energy that made us feel at ease. He has a remarkable ability to blend into the background while still capturing all the important moments, and having a laugh together always makes the experience amazing. The candid shots are stunning, reflecting the joy and love of the day perfectly. Each photo tells a story, and we were amazed at how he captured the little details that we had put so much thought into. Working with Philip was a joy; his professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography shone through every interaction. We love how Philip’s unique style adds a timeless quality to our photos, making them treasures we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who brings creativity, professionalism, and a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Philip Thomas.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest.

We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.

Chase has an eye for wedding photography. I look back at my wedding photos all the time and relive my wedding day all over again. Chase and his team were well prepared to catch our big day like they were born to do it. We gave him a couple of pictures that we would like to see captured but trusted our photographers eye on our wedding day. Chase is the most easy going, friendly, hassle free, reliable, and dedicated to his work. We were blown away with the final product and turn around time. We could see the love for photography in Chase’s work and highly recommend him. I originally picked the package for engagement and wedding. I was instantly impressed with our engagement shoot with Chase not only could I see the quality of work he produces but the professionalism we received as well. I had no doubts for our wedding day pictures but went ahead by added a bridal shoot to my package. This is one of those once in a lifetime events and I wanted to capture it all. I was overjoyed with my bridal shoot and scheduled it prior to our wedding since it started to get dark sooner in November. Highly recommend this guy!!!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

I had the wonderful opportunity to have found Artesia while researching early on my wedding. I loved the photo examples they take and wanted that style for the photos I get to keep forever. Reaching out to the team was easy through email, had great communication with the team and Pat. I met with Pat via email 6 months out and the week before the Wedding to meet our Photographer, Felicia. So easier to communicate and answer any questions I had and get a better idea of locations, times, and what we wanted to have photos of. She was incredibly kind and was amazing! It was so much smoother since I had been working with my coordinator to create a photo list for the day but she was also very flexible and knowledgeable of photos we could take by our reception area and downtown SA. I cannot wait to get these photos printer and displayed forever! I loved everything she did and the amazing photos she took for the Ceremony and the Reception!

I am Erica and photography is my passion. It makes me happy that you are here reading this! My photography journey started not too long ago when I was dabbling in product photography for some local jewelers. I had taken some photos of engagement rings by themselves but it didn’t really hit me until I started working with models! From then on I realized I really enjoyed photographing people and connecting with them. Shortly after this revelation, my good friend asked me to take her engagement photos and the rest is history! Ever since I have been photographing every moment I can for my clients!

Awarded Best of Zola
Erica was so wonderful to work with. She took the most beautiful photos of our engagement and wedding. I absolutely treasure the shots I have. I'm really camera shy and wedding planning was incredibly stressful, so I really appreciate how flexible and patient Erica was. We also got to meet Tom, her second shooter, who was so kind and helpful. They are so great to work with!

Annie Austin Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Crystal Beach, TX

Hey, I'm Annie. I'm a film + digital wedding photographer based in Texas. I do this for the generations to come. For the little girls, just as I once was, sitting on the carpet flipping through their grandma's and mothers wedding photos and dreaming of a love story such as theirs. I take a documentary meet's editorial approach. Leaving space for emotions to evolve when the moment calls and stepping in to gently guide when needed. No two weddings should ever look like they could belong to anyone but the couple themselves and I stand by that. This truly is my creative passion.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

The communication was great with Monica and Tyler. They let us know before hand what we were going to do and helped out a lot during photos with things that they didn’t have to help with. They gave great and fun vibes to us for our wedding and during wedding. They made us feel comfortable while doing photos and videos. I hired Monica and Tyler because of their professionalism and great work we seen online. We definitely would recommend them for a Wedding or a lifetime experience.

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

From our first conversation with Jen at Pink Light Images/Weirdo Weddings Photography, we knew we had found our person. She brought such an upbeat energy to every interaction and made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, which honestly felt impossible before we met her. What really stood out was how she blended into our day—she captured genuine moments without us feeling like we were posing, and she was smart about getting our photos done before the ceremony so we could actually enjoy our reception with everyone we love. Her work is incredibly thoughtful and captures the heart of who we are as a couple. By the end of our wedding day, she felt like part of our family, not just a vendor. We can't recommend Jen enough and are so grateful she was there to tell our story.

We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos and videos! This team seriously brought their A-game and made our special day even more magical. From the start, they were super chill and easy to work with. On the big day, they were like ninjas, capturing every awesome moment without being in the way. They have such a knack for finding those perfect, candid shots that totally show the real us. Plus, the way they set up the posed photos. When we got our photos and the video, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They caught all the love, laughter, and even the crazy dance moves (hello, epic dance party!). The highlight reel was like a mini movie of the best day ever—we’ve already watched it a million times! The whole experience was just fun and stress-free, thanks to their good vibes and clear communication. They really listened to what we wanted and made sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. Thank you guys !

LoveSnaps Photography was a great choice for our wedding photography. While they weren't the quickest to respond at times, likely due to their busy schedule, they were truly amazing at what they do. The photographers were super fun to work with and helped make our reception a blast. We didn't have to worry about them at all, and they gave us an overall smooth experience. LoveSnaps is a hidden gem, and we're looking forward to receiving our photo album!
