Hands Down the BEST Photographers – Book Them Yesterday! I don’t even know where to begin because our wedding photographers were just that amazing. From the very start, they showed up with the most positive, fun, upbeat energy — like instant friends you’d actually want at your wedding. They made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, even during the chaos (and occasional happy tears) of the day. They somehow managed to be everywhere at once, capturing all the little candid, in-the-moment gems that we didn’t even realize were happening — like our flower girl picking her nose mid-ceremony (iconic), or my dad busting out dance moves that definitely weren’t rehearsed! Every photo feels so real, joyful, and full of life — nothing stiff or posed. Just the day exactly as it was, but even more beautiful. And the response from friends and family? People are OBSESSED. I’ve had so many messages saying “Your wedding photos look like a magazine!” and “Who did your photos?! I need their info NOW!” I’m pretty sure my mom printed out half the album to show to everyone she’s ever met. Bottom line - these two are insanely talented, genuinely kind, and an absolute dream team to have by your side on such a big day. We feel so lucky we found them, and we’ll be raving about them forever. Book them. You won’t regret it.

I adore both my wedding gallery and the family portraits. They are probably two of my favorite sessions we’ve ever been a part of. Her communication was excellent - I knew exactly what to expect before going into each session. The turnaround time was also very quick, which is wonderful when you’re anxiously waiting to see the final result. Having all the images included in the pricing, without an additional fee, was such a great feature. You can feel how much she loves what she does through her photographs. The images radiate her time, attention to detail, and passion for photography. I would re-book with Deidra for every family session in the future if we were still in the same city - it’s a no-brainer. Even though the seasons of life are always changing, she has a gift for capturing the same feelings and emotions every time.

Hey! I'm Kelly and I would love to sing, dance and goof around with you at your wedding. I've been a wedding photographer for over 10 years and absolutely LOVE what I do. Getting couples to laugh and genuinely smile in photos is my specialty!

We absolutely loved working with Kelly Urban Photography! From the moment we connected, Kelly was incredibly organized, responsive, and easy to talk to an absolute professional with a creative soul. We instantly bonded over our shared love of World of Warcraft, especially since many of our guildies were at the wedding and we were meeting several of them in person for the first time! It made the entire experience even more fun and meaningful. Kelly went above and beyond during our engagement shoot—trekking out to my truck yard, embracing the rain, and capturing some of the most unique and beautiful photos we've ever seen. Her creativity and ability to find beauty in unexpected places is unmatched. On the wedding day, she was perfectly on time, super efficient, and worked effortlessly with all our different friend and family groups. She made even the shyest guests feel at ease with her natural, friendly conversation turning what could have been awkward moments into genuine smiles and laughter. We’re so grateful to have had Kelly be a part of our day and already can’t wait to work with her again for future family shoots. She’s not just an incredible photographer, but a wonderful person to have by your side on such a special day. Highly, highly recommend!

Boettcher Films 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Dayton, TX

Boettcher Films was made in an attempt to slow down and simplify. Using only film formats, my husband and I have been documenting weddings on Super8 and 35mm since 2020. We recently have created photo + video packages for those who crave untraditional film coverage of their wedding day. My family and I are nestled in a small farming community west of Houston, Texas. Our desire for slow intentional living has fostered not only our wedding inspiration, but also how we do life. You will find these themes woven throughout our work.

When searching for a photo/videographer we wanted someone who shoots film, has a laid back documentary style, and could make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Boettcher films checked all of these boxes and then exceeded expectations! From our first communication I sensed Gracie’s warmth and passion for what she does. We had an engagement shoot before our big day, my husband and I were super nervous about being photographed, but Gracie and Jonathan made it feel like we were just hanging out and getting to know each other. The results speak for themselves, it really captured our love in a way I didn’t know was possible. I will cherish those photos forever! Wedding day was just the same, my friends and family all raved about how awesome they are. We haven’t seen wedding photos yet but we just know they’ll be beautiful!

We were also permitted to switch out an album the pictures made by George Street with an engagement photo shoot with photographer which we really appreciate and enjoy doing. The photographer, Ausrine, and videographer, Eric, always gave us clear instructions and what to do and how to pose.

We found Jacqueline with a few weeks left til our elopment when another photographer had pulled out. What a blessing in disguise it ended up being. My husband and I hadn’t been to a wedding since we were children and had no idea the flow of things. Jacqueline ushered us through the entire experience and everything felt so natural. She sent us our sneak peeks same day on new years!! Insane! This woman is dedicated and loves her craft it shows through in every single one of our photos. With such a foliage rich background getting lovely photos is no easy feat yet she did it with ease. I have and would always recommend her for your special day if you’ve come across her page you’re just as lucky as me! Book her quick I promise you won’t regret it.

My approach is rooted in documentary storytelling. I am drawn to genuine connection, quiet moments, joyful celebrations, and the emotions that naturally unfold throughout your wedding day. While I will gently guide you during portraits, my goal is always to create images that feel authentic and true to your relationship rather than overly posed.
