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

Hello, My name is Chris! I am tall enough, energetic, and super extraverted! I am a very interesting person in my own eyes and I spend my weekends photographing pretty people on their special day! If you have any friends that love to hold a camera, then they are most likely as much as a travel junkie as I am! Going places has always been a better experience for me, rather than buying different items to put in my home.

“We chose the package with two photographers and one videographer for nine hours, and it was absolutely worth it. One feature we really appreciated was the option to expedite our photos within a two-week timeframe—it was such a nice touch. We received over 1,000 photos, and they are all beautiful! They captured every special moment we hoped for, and the candid shots truly mean so much to me. It’s amazing to have so many memories to look back on, especially since the day goes by so quickly. We got married just over two weeks ago, so we’re still waiting on our video package, but based on everything we’ve received so far, I know it will be beautifully put together. The photographers and videographers were all so kind and wonderful to work with. Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly!”

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.

For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of documenting weddings through honest, meaningful imagery. I believe photographs are one of the few things that become more valuable with time. 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.

They completely captured our day exactly how we wanted, and honestly even better than we could have ever imagined. They really understood the vibe we were going for, and were so thoughtful with their shots and editing. We genuinely could not be happier with how everything turned out. Months later, and we still get so many comments about our photographers and our pictures. Thank you Dani!”

I was in a panic trying to get all of my vendors taken care of and after contacting Emily I felt like I was able to take a deep breath! Although it was last minute, she was able to get two of her amazing photographers together and make sure I was taken care of! Her team was fantastic, so helpful and sweet! All of my bridesmaids and guests loved both photographers! I was so impressed after my wedding night and once I got my photos back, I was in shock!

From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget.

Our goal is to tell the story of your big day! We want you to look back on these timeless photos for years to come. Our wedding shooting style is photo-journalistic meaning lots of candid photos capturing all of great moments. We love to find all of the emotional moments as well.

Staying out of your way is an important part of making this happen.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!”

My love for photography started young and has blossomed into a passion to document the big moments of love, life and celebration, and the smaller moments in-between. My work blends documentary photography with fine art to capture authentic moments and real emotion throughout your day. I aim to capture not just how the day looked, but how it felt.

“Maddy was my photographer for my Sept. 2025 wedding and my husband and I loved how the pictures turned out! She also took a few film photos which are some of my favorite pictures from the day. She has such an incredible eye, I couldn't recommend her more.”

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 was absolutely perfect! She made our wedding day truly special. She was attentive, professional, clear and concise, and so well prepared for the day. She eased my stress and took a load off my shoulders when I was worrying about all of the small details. Not to mention she saved me with eye drops when I got an eyelash in my eye and looked like I had pink eye 30 minutes before having to walk down the aisle. Not to mention, she had a gallery of nearly 100 photos for us as sneak peeks sent in two weeks, when she had two other weddings on her books within a week of mine. It was truly a wonderful experience to work with her!!”
