My name is Cory, and I am the photographer and owner of CJ Photography. For over 14 years, I have been capturing some of life's most precious moments for families and friends in the Big Country and surrounding areas!

Cory is one of a kind! He is very professional and so much fun to work with. He did an AMAZING job on our wedding photos and even captured all the small details you tend to forget about as a bride. Cory went above and beyond to make us comfortable and even had all of our photos ready before we came back from our honeymoon! Definitely worth his time and effort. I still have people asking about our photos 3 years later because they were done so professionally. Cory is wonderful at what he does and definitely has the right heart for the job!

Abbey Leigh Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,495
  • Serves Merkel, TX

I'm Abbey, I'm a timeless, colorful, and romantic natural light photographer for the extraordinary couple. When I'm not traveling or photographing couples on their wedding days, you can find me foraging flowers, listening to a true crime podcast, or taking an evening stroll with my husband and our three rescue pups. Getting to know my clients well is so instrumental in not only making you feel valued, but adds a comfortability to our relationship that allows your best selves to shine through duirng our time together. Capturing the essence of who you are as a couple and putting you at ease are my top priorities as your photographer!

I don’t really know how to start explaining how wonderful Abbey was to work with. Being an out of state (covid) bride - my wedding changed SO many times - location, timing, the date, the time - LOL you name it, everything was constantly changing EXCEPT for Abbey’s unwavering creativity and support through it all. She was beyond helpful - FaceTiming, phone calls, emails, texting, you name it she was there & always excited to chat even when I felt like I was being insane. I think you can hire someone to take good pictures during your wedding day but what’s most important is the experience with them leading up to the wedding - and if you’re lucky enough to work with Abbey you’ll get the best of both. (Not to mention she is one of the most hilarious people I’ve ever met - and a good laugh throughout planning your wedding is ALWAYS needed). The day before my wedding some details fell apart and I panic texted her and she just has a way of making sure you know everything will be fine & that she’s got you - invaluable. I should also say - I am not someone who naturally loves photos of themselves .... ever. And I am so in love with our wedding photos - even a few months later and they still make me cry. Abbey does a wonderful job at making sure you look like the best version of yourself, what more can you ask for?!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Liepina Photography & Videography perfectly captured our special day. Linda is very knowledgeable, communicative, and professional.

However, after our engagement shoot with Linda we were confident she would capture our wedding perfectly. I would definitely recommend Liepina Photography & Videography.

Love Knot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Merkel, TX

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I without a doubt did the right thing by hiring Jones Media and choosing both Regina (photographer) and Kevin (videographer) to shoot our vow renewal at Paddlefish at Disney Springs in Orlando, FL. They both brought the energy and the hype, and they have the absolute best personalities. They were incredibly professional the entire time, and I had no idea that they had never worked together before my event! They collaborated seamlessly, bouncing ideas off one another and making everything even more perfect. They honestly didn’t feel like hired vendors—they felt like guests we invited who were having just as much fun as we were, while still staying completely on task. To top it off, they are complete lifesavers. The night before our renewal, we hit a major hiccup. Due to a last-minute policy change at our Disney resort, our third-party vendors were suddenly not permitted on the property. With no other choice, I had to cancel our resort reservations late at night and move everything back to my parents' timeshare. I immediately messaged Kevin and Regina about the last-minute location change. The next morning, they both showed up right on time and completely ready to go. Because we kept our original timeline, the new location meant we were a little farther away from the venue, but neither Kevin nor Regina ever made us feel rushed. We just pivoted, and they went completely above and beyond—even staying a little past their scheduled end time to make up for the chaos the night before. In the Disney world, we call that Pixie Dust, and they definitely brought it with them. If I had to do this all over again, I’d choose them again and again. I can’t wait to see how the final photos and video turn out. Thank you, Jones Media!

Amanda provided the perfect balance of professionalism, insight, and a personal connection to not only our wedding day but also our engagement session.

The packages offered were priced at a great value and included several options to make sure your special moment is captured. I felt at ease that I did not have to worry if special moments from our wedding, the love we have for each other, and the celebration with our friends and family were captured by Amanda and her team.
