I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

You need to book Kim whether it be for an event or photoshoot because you will not be disappointed!!! I recently got married at Windham Manor and was only looking for photographers who have photographed there. I found Kim since she was one of the photographers tagged on the venue’s instagram page. Kim was very responsive from the beginning and although i was still a year and a half away from my wedding, we scheduled a zoom call and started planning immediately. The call was very productive as she helped me generate a timeline super early in the game that helped me start planning and getting everything in order with my other vendors. She also showed me photos she had already taken at the venue which were stunning and exactly what we envisioned. Come to the big day, Kim was there early to set up and was ready to go immediately. She let me know her plan along the way and made sure that we were sticking to the timeline and had no problem being able to quickly adjust to things that were not under our control. Either way, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her, including helping me button my extremely difficult dress!! She honestly acted like a friend and was there for us the entire night while also being able to capture everything we wanted. I knew the photos were going to be amazing but she totally exceeded our expectations. She sent some teasers the day after and we were completely blown away by the colors, angles, and backdrops. You can tell that she put so much time into each photo because every single one is stunning. Not to mention, she took soooo many photos and really captured everything from start to finish. We are so grateful to have so many pictures that we can have for a lifetime. Everyone I have shared the photos with have said the same exact thing I worked with a few photographers in my life and I have to say that Kim was the best. Her talent and professionalism is unmatched. I seriously hope we can work with her again one day!!

TIMELESS. AUTHENTIC. DETAILED. I believe in the amazing blessing of God giving us people in our lives to stand beside us long after the aisle. When the big day comes to a storybook end, you will leave your beautifully decorated ceremony and reception with your forever partner...and your pictures.  All of that planning and preparation is preserved in your images, so you'll want them to be high quality, elegant and authentic so that you can enjoy reminiscing over them for anniversaries to come.

Brandy is Beyond what you could ask for from a photographer! I visited a wedding fair which had no shortage of photographers to choose from. And let me tell you I spent the most time at Brandy’s booth than any other vendor. She has a wonderful personality, makes you feel beyond comfortable, she replies almost instantly when I message her. And the shoot - WOW stunning! I cannot wait to see the wedding photos with how amazing our engagement photos came out. She is very upfront with her pricing and doesn’t try to push more than what is needed. I’m having a smaller wedding and rather than trying to book have me book her for more hours she said which package she was confident she’d get all the shots without starting to repeat shots. My engagement shoot was absolutely wonderful and the time flew by with Brandy’s guidance my finance and myself didn’t even notice how much time had passed. Nothing looked staged - when we looked through our gallery we felt like supermodels!! Which is saying a lot for us!! Brandy suggested the locations we could do shoots at which is wonderful if you’re like me and really just can’t decide or have a clue of what would look good, she picked a perfect spot that was so us - our dogs even got to participate in the shoot and she was patient, even when our one lab only wanted to swim Brandy got their attention with her own sound effects and we got several shots with the silly pup pups! I can honestly say Brandy is not just a photographer to us, she is an extension of our growing family! Why not have her document the beginning of our marriage and the rest of our lives is what my fiancé and I found ourselves talking about. So very thankful to have found Brandy! 10/10 would recommend!!! Run don’t walk as they say, towards booking Brandy!

Alex Tongol Photography

  • Serves La Marque, TX

Welcome! I’m Alex Tongol. A wedding photographer with a passion for capturing authentic moments and crafting timeless memories. Photography isn’t just a profession for me; it’s my way of storytelling. Every click of the shutter is an opportunity to freeze a moment in time, to encapsulate the emotions, the joy, and the essence of the occasion. My approach is simple yet effective: to blend into the background, allowing moments to unfold naturally while I focus on preserving the magic. I pride myself on my ability to connect with my clients, putting them at ease and allowing their true selves to shine through in every photograph.

We hired Alex with very short notice this August to photograph our small wedding. He was responsive, easy to work with, professional, nimble and unobtrusive even in such an intimate wedding setting with less than 10 guests. Photos were high quality and delivered in many formats for you to chose your favorites!

Hi everyone! Some people call me ShaKeira, some call me Keira Belle, Kay, Kei-Kei, Kei, the list goes on. Call me what you want, but just know that I am that photographer that's probably going to call anybody and everybody by a nickname! All jokes aside, I love many things about life, including my dog + husband the most (yes, they are equal.........maybe........I think the dog wins, but that's just me!) I love all things food and sweets. Call me for a night out and I ask, "but where are going to eat??" I love traveling, going to the beach, playing videogames, drawing, Lana Del Rey, movies, and a neverending array of things. :-)

Keira did such a wonderful job capturing photos of my engagement session! We did a mini session and can't wait to post these everywhere. She is very communicative, has an eye for capturing the best shot, and has an aesthetically pleasing editing style. Bonus points for also directing us on super cute poses! Would highly recommend Keira to anyone looking for engagement pictures in the League City/Houston area.

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.

My husband and I ended up booking with Emily Michelle Photography pretty last minute and let me tell you, her and her team did not disappoint!! 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! I knew they would be good but I was blown away with all of the photos they got and how beautiful the quality was. I will be recommending her and her team to everyone!!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.
