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!

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. I couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Evoke Photography & Video's services - they truly helped make our wedding day perfect.

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!!!

  • Serves Galveston, 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.

Before moving to America, I was a newspaper photographer covering local stories and sports, managed a portrait studio, and traveled the world. A lifelong photographer, I've spent an unhealthy amount of time in darkrooms developing rolls of film and learning from amazing mentors.

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!!

The photographer was phenomenal! Even one of my bridesmaids asked about the photos and noted how nice he was after the wedding! He was very professional, kind and hardworking. My mother and I don’t think we ever saw him not snapping a photo. My only regret is not using him more! I wish I had hired him for our rehearsal dinner and let the wedding go on longer. He very much earned his money with corralling my huge family for all the photos. He was wonderful with going through a list of photos I wanted and making them happen.

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!

Danielle isn’t just an incredible photographer—she’s the kind of person you want by your side on one of the most important days of your life. She traveled all the way to Italy for our micro wedding and not only delivered stunning same-day photo previews and flawless edits, but she also became an honorary bridesmaid in the process. When we couldn’t find a stylist, she did my hair herself. She helped steam our dresses, laid my eyelashes, and was there for every little detail without hesitation. Even though we’re friends in real life, I know she brings this same heart, dedication, and creativity to all of her clients. Danielle has an incredible eye, a calm and grounding presence, and a way of making the entire photography process feel effortless and joyful. I can’t imagine having had anyone else there. She captured our day perfectly—and supported us in ways we’ll never forget.

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 Galveston, 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).

Monica is beyond AMAZING!!! We love in the Dallas area. She did our Engagement Session in San Antonio and is doing our wedding in Florida. She also did my Bridal portraits and a Boudoir session! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I was blown away by the images she captured. I even hired her to do multiple branding photoshoots for my company. I trusted her so much and was so impressed that I hired her to do my daughter's wedding in October!!!

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!
