Erica Bonorden Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dayton, TX

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!

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.

  • Serves Dayton, TX

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!

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

Emily Michelle Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dayton, TX

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without this team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond — not just capturing the big moments, but all the little ones we’ll treasure forever. Their personality was top notch: fun, genuine, and easy to be around, yet confident enough to keep everything on track without ever feeling forced. They didn’t just document the day, they became part of it. They made our families comfortable, brought laughter when we needed it, and gave us peace of mind knowing every memory was in the right hands. The photos speak for themselves, but the experience of having them by our side is what really made the difference. If you want a team that delivers more than beautiful pictures — a team that brings energy, joy, and heart to your day — look no further. Best decision we made.

My now-husband (!!) and I cannot speak highly enough of Ashley. We did our engagement pictures with her and very soon after booked her for our wedding. Not only is she just such a kind and cool person, she's also an incredible photographer with an amazing ability to capture exactly the essence you're looking for. Even if you can't describe exactly what you want, Ashley can make it happen. She sees the beauty in all the little moments that you can easily miss on such a busy day.

Omg cannot recommend enough! My now husband and I had an elope-y wedding so we had to find a really good photographer really quickly-I stumbled across Philip's page and was immediately drawn to the style and skill of his work. Unfortunately I read on his page that he was full booked for the season. I decided to take my chances and reach out anyways juuust in case he would be available on our wedding day (3 weeks away at that point). I was elated to hear back quickly that he happened to available that day!! We had an introductory zoom call a few days later and had the contract signed by the end of that week. Philip was such a pleasure to work with! We got our final photos sent to us a couple days ago and they blew us away-the lighting, his expertise, and his creative touch made for such awesome and unexpected shots. 10/10. Thank you Philip!!

Awarded Best of Zola
John was amazing from start to finish! We met John at some open houses we went to in our planning process and ended up at Hofmann Ranch and we decided to use John as our photographer to capture our special day and our engagement shoot. Our engagement photos were taken at the Historic Market Square in San Antonio on the almost hottest, sunniest day, and they turned out incredible - we used our engagement photos for our save-the-dates, wedding website, and table décor. He was super responsive, answering all our questions, met with us via Zoom before the shoot and wedding day, and helped us create a timeline early in the planning process. On the wedding day, John was a joy to have around -  he’s fun, personable, and able to seamlessly fit in with our big wedding parties and families. Despite all the chaos, he wrangled everyone and captured every shot we wanted. He was creative, quick on his feet, and even took extra photos and videos with his phone, which we loved. The sneak peeks we’ve seen so far are fantastic, and we can’t wait for the full portfolio. John was absolutely the best investment we made for our wedding day!

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!

Shannon and her friends are AMAZING. We had our wedding during the shutdown and we were planing to get married in a National park. With the uncertainty of the shut down they recommend other venues just incase. Thankfully everything went to plan with the OG idea. They answered any question I had and just made the day run so smooth. She and her team are so awesome. Went above and beyond even hiked for us. Thank you for everything.
