We hired Adeline and Valerie to photograph our wedding and if you haven’t yet — hire them!! Not only are they incredible photographers, they are also amazing humans and were so fun to work with. They helped make our wedding the most magical day and we could not be more happy with how the photos came out. From our first time sitting down talking with them we knew we had found the perfect people. They were so friendly, helpful, and flexible throughout the process. On the wedding day, they helped with so many thing aside from taking the photos and just made it so my partner and I could fully enjoy the day. They made taking photos fun and light. All of our family members have been raving about how much they loved both of them. And the photos are incredible. We didn’t even recognize our front street for a second it looked so pretty! During the wedding they took photos with a Polaroid as well and so we had some immediate memories to look at that night. Then they sent us a sneak peak the next day and the rest of the photos in less than a month. We’ll forever have these memories thanks to both of them. We are so grateful and highly recommend anyone looking to capture a special day or event to choose them!

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.

We were thrilled with KLayne Photography for our wedding photos! Klayne was extremely prompt and responsive in all of our communications leading up to the big day, and really took the time to understand our vision and priorities. On the wedding day itself, Kari was a huge help posing us and creatively capturing so many special moments. The number of photos delivered was well above average, and each one was thoughtfully edited and beautifully composed. Kari clearly poured a lot of care and effort into documenting our wedding journey. We'd enthusiastically recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated wedding photographer who will capture your special moments with an artistic eye and thoughtful touch.

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.

Hey there, I'm Jeremy. My love for photography and filmmaking started with surfing. After experimenting with just about every other photography genre, nothing has the thrill and realness of capturing candid wedding photos.

So, if you are looking for a photographer whose approach is candid, fun, and artistic- I'd love to chat.

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!

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!

Ashley is actually the best photographer known to man. She took our elopement photos in Las Vegas as well as our wedding photos locally in TX. I wanted more of a candid and vintage vibe with our photos and boy did Ashley deliver! And on top of that she makes you so comfortable and produces such a fun environment for pictures. My husband and I are super awkward and goofy and she was able to still make us look like a million bucks. Our only complaint at the end of the day is that we wish she could follow us everywhere and take our pictures all the time!! I couldn't suggest Brownie Photography more to any couple who is looking for pictures to cherish for all the years to come.

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

Run, don’t walk! My husband and I had the most amazing experience working with Tooney. She is incredibly talented, and kind, her warmth radiates into her photography. My husband and I decided to elope with very short notice and she was able to accommodate us even when leaving town for a big gig on the weekend. We also don’t have experience posing much and she was so skilled at giving us direction. But most importantly it just felt like fun! My husband (who hates taking pictures) said “We got the best photographer possible, she made this so fun”. We got our sneak peeks in just 2 days and we are so ecstatic about the gallery we got. We plan to do a bigger celebration with extended family and friends and will absolutely reach out to Tooney again. You’re in great hands with her!
