My slogan, "I travel the path others take to capture the memories they forget," drives me to present my customers with the best art they can get for a reasonable price. Everyone has had moments where they can only remember them from vague memories, especially at events. That's where I come in. That special moment that everyone will be talking about from an event, you will have it in a detailed form.

He surpassed all of my dreams with these pictures. His photography captured everything I was looking for and at a great price. I found him at the last minute and he was phenomenal. Thank you Mr. Cooper. I will cherish these memories forever

The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

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.

Canyon & Pine: Wedding Photography + Films 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves South Padre Island, TX

Emma & her team have been photographing weddings for 13 years, building Canyon & Pine as a husband-and-wife studio rooted in experience. Before weddings, Emma worked as a photojournalist — a background that still shapes the way she sees a wedding day unfold: quickly, intuitively, and with an eye for the moments that matter long after the cake is gone. Their work balances artful candids with guided portraits that feel natural, romantic, and genuinely fun. The editing is timeless, and the priority is always the same: the people. Parents. Grandparents. Best friends. The faces you’ll want framed when the years start to stack up.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emma and her team truly set the standard for what a photo and video team should be. From the start, communication was incredibly clear and consistent. We always knew what to expect, what we needed to do, and where things stood—before, during, and even after the wedding. Nothing ever felt up in the air or confusing, which took so much stress off of us. On the wedding day, Emma ran the timeline so seamlessly that we didn’t have to think about a single thing. She stepped in wherever needed—even helping me into my dress when things got a little hectic—and kept everything moving without it ever feeling rushed or forced. She carried herself with total confidence the entire day, and that energy made everyone else feel at ease too. Her team was just as incredible—professional, kind, and completely in sync. You could tell they’ve done this at a high level for a long time. And the final photo and video delivery was right on time (actually faster than we expected), and absolutely stunning. The video especially brought everything back in a way photos alone never could. We never once felt like we were guessing or hoping things were being handled—we knew they were. If you want a team that’s organized, communicative, and fully in control in the best way, Emma and her team are it.

A Brit from just south of London in England, I have lived in Texas since 2006, when I moved to marry my best friend. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful thanks to Philip Thomas and his second photographer, Deji Osinulu. Looking through these photos felt like getting to relive the whole day over again, while also seeing moments we didn't even realize were happening. Philip has a great attention to detail, taking breathtaking candids as if he were a fly on the wall. He was very professional, prompt, and organized, while also being a calming and warm presence. As someone who typically feels uncomfortable getting her photo taken, he made the entire experience feel natural and easy. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day

Love is a wild ride, just like your wedding day will surely be. Soak it up, it’s going to move fast and be filled with magic. My work is to document all of it, with a little finessing here and there. Your wedding photos will mean more to you as time passes and thus my goal is to create graceful, timeless images of you and your loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I am emotion-focused. My job is to capture all the smiles, the tears, the laughs, and the romance of the day in its entirety.

Linka and her team can't be beat! We were so lucky to have them shoot our engagement and wedding photos. They made the whole process fun, with no awkward poses, and picked fantastic backdrops every step of the way. They moved FAST on a tight schedule on our wedding day but still somehow managed to capture the entire event in vivid detail. Flipping through the online album (which is easy to share with close friends and family) feels like reliving the best day of my life. Every picture is magical! I don't know how I'll choose which ones to print. Plus, leading up to the event Linka was great to work with. She helped me understand what to expect, answered all my questions, and offered lots of tips to help me prepare. Thank you, Linka!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.
