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

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

Awarded Best of Zola
The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was at Big Sky Barn on May 7, 2021. We decided on Weddings Unlimited as our wedding vendor for the following services… DJ- Ali Videographer- Jordan Mirror Photo booth- David Special Effects: Gobo, Up lighting, and Dancing on the Clouds Planning team- Amber & Celeste From the beginning of our planning Alex was quick to respond and answered any questions we had throughout. Their DJ app and website portal is easy to navigate, and allow you to easily customize and create our wedding music, photobooth welcome screen, and gobo. My initial music meeting with Amber was thorough, and really helped ease anxiety I had with the ceremony music. Our ceremony music had to be cut, and our niece sang to the instrumental song, and the DJ, Ali, worked with my niece to help execute it perfectly. Ali stuck to our selected playlist which we were really adamant about wanting. The videographer, Jordan, arrived on time and was great! He worked alongside my photographer without any conflict. We just received our 1-minute video teaser and just the 1-minute video is absolutely what we hoped for and cannot wait to see the full video. Amber and Celeste were great throughout the entire process, and the day of the wedding Amber communicated with the groom and I and made sure we didn’t need anything and were enjoying ourselves. The photo booth was a huge hit, and our guests loved it. The attendant, Jordan, was friendly, and helpful with how the photo booth worked. Thank you, Weddings Unlimited team, for being a part of our special day. It was truly a pleasure having you as our vendor.

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

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
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Our time spent together will be unforgettable and I promise you will make a friend for life with me! :)

Erica is such a delight to have on your biggest day, and I can honestly say, the one who calmed my nerves when she arrived. She could sense their was anxiety regarding scheduling/falling behind, but she made the entire room laugh and relieved much of the pressure from my shoulders. Many of our guests complimented her during the wedding, and complimented her professionalism as well as her care free personality. She made taking pictures a breeze and even assisted on contacting the correct venue personnel when our venue's plumbing faltered. She has been a blessing to work with the past year, and I prayed to meet for someone like Erica on our wedding day. I read most of the reviews for Whimsy Nirvana and it hurts me to see such negativity inflicting on someone who is only human and balancing so much. In a world like today, I would work with such a genuine soul such as Erica again if it meant experiencing the professionalism, generosity, and compassion that Erica gives EACH and EVERY client of hers.
