Gage Horne Studios

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Merkel, TX for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

This video will be a keepsake for you, your children, and your grandchildren that will give the born and the unborn in your family the ability to relive that special day for years to come.

Phil captured the vibe we wanted for our big day perfectly by listening to our requests, helping to organize our thoughts and bringing some flare to the event.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Our experience with Danielle was nothing short of incredible! She captured our October wedding in Maine so beautifully, and the photos perfectly reflect who we are as a couple. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely at ease. And provided a lot of additional unexpected guidance to help prep for our big day. She has an amazing ability to balance capturing those sweet, genuine moments with showcasing our silly side, all while making us look absolutely stunning. Nothing felt forced or overly staged—just natural and real. Her guidance during the shoot was spot-on, and the final photos blew us away. If you’re planning a wedding in New England, we can’t recommend Moon Rising Photography enough. Danielle is not only talented but also so much fun to work with. Our memories from that day wouldn’t be the same without her! And we look forward to continuing to hire her for any and all major life events!

I could write a book about Leah; or at least a very detailed blog post but I'll try to keep it shorter! As a fellow professional photographer, I got the opportunity to meet Leah and work with her as her 2nd photographer on a wedding. It took that one amazing experience and absolute blast of a time to know that whenever it was I got married she was THE photographer for me. Fast forward some years later it was finally my turn to tie the knot and my now husband and I chose our date based on when Leah was available, because there was no other option for me! I have gotten to work with dozens of photographers throughout my going on 10 year career, and I'm telling y'all, it doesn't get better than Leah. The photos - amazing! I love her eye for details, the crispness, the colors! Not to mention she is such a beautiful soul with the best personality and energy, with the professionalism to get a gallery worth of beautiful photos with you barely realizing she's there. While going through our gallery, I was stunned and overjoyed so many times to see things I had NO idea happened or even photos of people that I unfortunately didn't get to spend much time with yet seeing that they still enjoyed themselves. In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you can choose for your wedding day. I am so thankful my experience in the wedding industry allowed me to cross paths with Leah because that made a really important decision very easy for me. And I hope my review can help other soonlyweds out there make a hard decision easier. You will not go wrong choosing Leah to photograph your big day!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect.

I started my photography journey taking photos of my wife. Watching her come to life with confidence was the greatest feeling in the world. And when she used that confidence to overcome her negative self-image, I knew I was onto something. I initially set out to ensure everyone I worked with knew what this felt like. After shooting with models and brands for a few years, I was asked to photograph my first wedding and the experience was unreal. Watching the sheer joy and happiness of the couple on their big day was so heartwarming and pure. I fell in love with capturing couples and haven't looked back since!

I found Chris and his team through Zola and after chatting my husband and I both knew he would be an integral and perfect part of our day and we were right! Chris and his team were prompt, kind, thoughtful, and had plenty of experience taking both posed and candid shots. He caught the best parts of our day! I had so many family members comment on how impressed they were that Chris took photos and then blended back into the crowds and he was so professional. When we got our photos back they took my breath away with how stunning and vivid they looked. He captured the joy my family and friends felt on our wedding day and also managed to capture the goofy moments too! At one point during the wedding I got overwhelmed with the emotions and choices to make and he gracefully stepped in and made the photo decisions for me and I was so grateful to him. I'll look on these photos forever and remember how his work made our day special for years to come. If he's available for your wedding you absolutely need to book him!

Joel was extremely responsive from the first contact to the last. He was on time, prepared, and took over a thousand photos and promptly forwarded us the raws. We had the edits in a few more weeks -- more of them than he promised -- and they are beautiful. He did a great job composing the photos, capturing them, and post-processing them. I recommend him without reservation, he was great!

MA & CA Your wedding isn’t just a sequence of events—it’s a mix of energy, quiet pauses, and the moments in between that hold the most meaning. You want a photographer who sees the unscripted, the unfiltered, and the unexpected—the things that make your day yours. I work with couples who value nostalgia, emotion, and a little edge in their wedding story. The ones who want their photos to feel like them—unposed, unforced, and unrepeatable. Whether it’s the weight of a glance, the rush of the dance floor, or the way your hands find each other in the middle of it all, every image is a keepsake of your story—without trends, AI edits, or formulas

I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

I’m Jasmine, the owner and lead stylist of Beaux Cheveux, a luxury travel hair and makeup service. Licensed in both Texas and Colorado, I’ve been styling brides since 2018, with Beaux Cheveux officially launching in 2019. While Texas and Colorado are home, I’m always on the move, traveling to over 16 states to serve my amazing brides. My passion for beauty started at 13 when I styled my mom’s hair for the first time, sparking a love for the craft that continues to grow. Each wedding is a unique and special moment, and I feel so blessed to be part of my brides’ journeys, bringing their wedding day dreams to life.

Absolutely amazing experience, Jasmine made everyone in our bridal party feel so beautiful and special, managed our large chaotic group (10 people). Her communication was amazing as I was coming in from out of town. We had complete faith and trust in her and we got compliments all day.
