“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.”

I photograph weddings, engagements, and intimate courthouse celebrations across Dallas–Fort Worth with a calm, refined approach. My work blends gentle portrait direction with documentary awareness, allowing real moments to unfold naturally while ensuring every detail is captured with intention. My goal is simple — to preserve not only how your wedding day looked, but how it truly felt.

“As someone who has a tendency to over think everything, I was initially very overwhelmed with finding a photographer. Linda was amazing. I reached out for information and within a few hours (honestly I think it was within the hour) I had a full break down of pricing, expectations, availability, and a follow up of making sure I had access to see some work before booking. Within a day, we had our contract worked out and a meeting scheduled to go over any missing details. Day of the wedding, she was prompt, full of ideas, and worked with the flow of the day seamlessly. Even when I received photos (faster than expected!) I could tell she left the wedding and was already working on photos based on a few time stamps I caught in files. I was sent a link to a beautiful gallery and got to cry all over again reliving the day. She even made to follow up that there were no issues with the link and if everything was to my liking. 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend!! I cannot wait to have these photos on display in my home and loved for years to come!”

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.

“From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.”

From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget.

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.

“I would give Linka 20 stars if I could. She is incredibly talented and the entire process was so smooth. I originally saw some of her photos while researching elopement locations on Reddit. New Orleans had been on our list and the photos sealed the deal! She responded to me right away and scheduled a phone call to see if we were a good fit. She also sent us questions to answer about us as a couple, what we were comfortable with, and what exactly we wanted out of our day. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Linka and Eyoel had us walk around the neighborhood after our ceremony and got so many cool shots that we never would have thought of. We couldn’t have asked for better pictures of our elopement! Also, she’s really, really cool.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were professional, warm, and attentive to every detail. On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifully—both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much. The photos are absolutely stunning !!! timeless, romantic, and filled with emotion. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures turned out! Beyond their talent, what really stood out was how seamlessly they blended in with our guests while still capturing every angle. It honestly felt like they were everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding !! Thank you again luxurious memories.”
