Taylor Friedman Photography 

5.0

Waco, TX
  • Photojournalistic style

My name is Taylor & I am a photographer based out of Waco, Texas - but traveling all over! My favorite thing about couples and wedding photography is getting to capture people in their element, saving those small moments forever. My approach to photographing couples is to capture genuine interactions and connection.

Taylor is an extremely talented photographer. She is very easy going and makes you feel comfortable to be around. I would randomly send her ideas, my inspiration and photos I loved through my planning process and she nailed those on our wedding day. I wanted our wedding to be romantic, dark and moody and the photos she captured were just that! She is a 10/10 in my book.

I AM MAGIC. AND SO ARE YOU. I am a storyteller — a romantic at heart, a seeker of beauty, and a quiet observer of the in-between. My name is Morgan Elise, and I am a documentary-rooted, editorial-inspired wedding photographer based in Austin, Texas — though I’ll follow love wherever it takes me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin? Morgan is so incredibly communicative, creative, kind, and professional! She literally captured the magic of our wedding day and the photos look like something out of a fairytale, I was overjoyed at how they turned out. I booked the her highest tier package and IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!! The polaroids are precious and are going to be perfect in my wedding scrapbook, and I'm obsessed with the artistry of the digital photos. She even had a sneak peek album sent to us almost 3 hours after the wedding ended with a handful of photos already edited and they were absolutely gorgeous! I was told that if you're going to go all out on one thing for your wedding, it's a photographer, and Morgan is the BEST photographer I could've ever asked for! I'm so happy and I will cherish these pictures forever!

I’m Jessie & my husband is Dylan. We are a husband and wife duo serving Austin Texas and Beyond... We are high school sweethearts and have been together since we were 16 years old. We have three crazy kiddos and two golden doodle pups, named Kevin and Theodore. We are the crazy couple who is always dancing and having way too much fun wherever we go (just ask our friends; or better yet, you will probably become one!) We have to pinch ourselves on a daily basis, reminding us that this is real life and this is our job! We have the pleasure of capturing and telling people’s love story. Your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough amazing things about Jessie! She was our photographer for our engagement photos, and I feel like I struck gold finding her on Instagram. After looking through A LOT of photographers, I knew I was being super picky—I have a love for photography and had a very specific vision in mind. Jessie absolutely brought that vision to life! The gallery she delivered looked like my Pinterest board… but even better! Her editing style, eye for detail, and ability to capture genuine moments blew us away. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot as well. She is down to earth, fun, and gave the perfect amount of guidance while still keeping everything natural and relaxed - we needed the guidance ;) She also let us bring our dogs, which meant so much to us, and she captured the most adorable photos of them that I am so thankful for! Jessie took so many beautiful photos and she really captured us. We’re so grateful for her talent and energy, and we loved working with her so much that we’ve asked her (and her husband!) to shoot our wedding in Italy. Jessie, thank you for everything—we can’t wait for round two, but this time in ITALY!

Canyon & Pine: Wedding Photography + Films 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Waco, TX

I’ve been photographing weddings for 13 years, and what drives me is telling the real story of your day. I don’t believe in stiff posing or cookie-cutter galleries. Instead, I create a mix of natural moments, timeless portraits, and gentle direction that helps you feel comfortable while still looking your best. Every couple’s story is different, and I want your photos and films to feel like you — honest, soulful, and true to your people.

LONG REVIEW but PLEASE read it all! Canyon and Pine are worth the booking!!! TLDR: Book Canyon and Pine if you want someone reliable, capable, and CRAZY talented (especially if you are an introvert!!). Emma SAVED our wedding from being ruined by a coordinator. For context, I have been photographing portraits for 10 years and have photographed two weddings. There's a LOT that goes into both weddings and good photos so we (I, haha!) were really picky when choosing a wedding photographer. From the moment we first connected with the team at Canyon & Pine, we knew we were in good hands. We were nervous about having photos taken but their friendly, cooperative, and personalized approach put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. From day one, we felt incredibly comfortable coming to Emma with any and all concerns, questions, and ideas. When you book with Canyon & Pine, you really are booking quality artistic storytelling. The personable, humorous, and down to Earth team shown on their website is exactly what you get in person. We chose to book a package which included an engagement session in which Emma went above and beyond providing outfit suggestions, reminders, and other helpful guides to make our engagement session memorable and beautiful. She then drove out FIVE HOURS to meet us at sunset in Oklahoma and capture the most beautiful photos on top of a whole mountain! My husband and I are NOT camera people, I cannot stress how comfortable Emma made these two introverts. I also did bridals with Emma. Trust me when I tell you NOBODY will make you feel more comfortable than she does. I was going through some major health issues at the time of my bridal portraits and just didn't feel or fully look like myself. Emma found a way to make me look stunning. -- I'm really proud of these photos and will show them to every and anyone who asks (or not, haha!). She truly helped me feel beautiful in front of the camera. On the day of our wedding, Canyon & Pine's thoughtful and personable demeanor helped us stay calm and focused on enjoying the moment. The quality of their work was absolute perfection - they captured every detail with incredible precision. Nothing was overlooked and they took great care to make sure every single feeling was highlighted throughout the day (and there were a lot!). Special and priceless moments were constantly caught on camera despite the craziness of the day. On our day, there was a significant issue with the coordinator that threatened to derail the whole wedding. Emma stepped in and saved the day, ensuring our wedding ran smoothly and playing the part of coordinator and photographer. She went above and beyond, considering every last detail and helping us have fun during incredibly stressful moments. Because of Canyon and Pine, we can now look back on our wedding day and see it as beautiful, touching, memorable, and unforgettable instead of the disaster it surely would have been without Emma's help and knowledge. We will be booking Canyon & Pine for all of our future photography needs, from family photos to pregnancy announcements. At the end of the day, when booking a wedding photographer, you're booking someone you feel you can trust to be there every step of the way, leave no photographic stone unturned, and help you look your best. Emma is your girl and Canyon and Pine is your place.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Shannon was absolutely perfect! She made our wedding day truly special. She was attentive, professional, clear and concise, and so well prepared for the day. She eased my stress and took a load off my shoulders when I was worrying about all of the small details. Not to mention she saved me with eye drops when I got an eyelash in my eye and looked like I had pink eye 30 minutes before having to walk down the aisle. Not to mention, she had a gallery of nearly 100 photos for us as sneak peeks sent in two weeks, when she had two other weddings on her books within a week of mine. It was truly a wonderful experience to work with her!!

My couples crave a natural, photojournalistic take that tell the real story of their day, not just pretty, perfect photos. Because your wedding day is not a photo shoot.

Rae took the time to truly understand what my husband and I wanted, and helped us create a timeline that was as relaxed as we had hoped. On our wedding day, Rae's compassionate and fun presence made it easy for us to forget the camera was even there, allowing her to capture the most beautiful, richly colored, and candid moments. The final photos were amazingly edited, showcasing the inclusive way Rae documented our special day.

Hey, thanks SO much for being here! I am honored you are checking out my page. I became a full time wedding photographer after realizing my connection to capturing love stories. I value connection, transparency, and having a fun time with my couples!

First off, Tia is one of the sweetest human beings I have ever worked with! My husband and I were lucky enough to be in Yosemite at the same time as Tia and her boyfriend (hello fate??) and we had the best engagement session! We were, then, lucky enough to have her photograph our wedding in May. We're so happy we chose Tia to photograph all our special moments as our photos turned out better than we ever could've imagined. Being able to relive all our moments and feel the emotions through the photographs is truly so special. On top of that, Tia is so pleasant to work with - she is attentive, present, and always prepared for anything photo related (and more!). Her communication is so fast - always keeping me updated with changes if there were any. Everything felt like a collaborative effort which I so appreciated, especially in the wedding industry. At the end of the day, throughout my wedding planning process, I felt so supported working with Tia and felt like I had a friend capturing all our special moments. Tia photographs everything so beautifully and authentically and her photos will be timeless memories in our home for years to come.

Hiya! I'm Tess, an Austin-based photographer with 10+ years of experience telling the stories of my community through photography. I love weddings of all sizes, from adventurous elopements to grand celebrations. My photojournalism background influences my documentarian style, which captures the natural joy and energy of weddings without forced poses. I help my couples feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera just as they are.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is so long overdue, and I hope it brings home just how much I value Tess' work, and how talented of a documentarian I think she is. Since college, I've vowed to never book a friend for photos unless I really loved their work, because I often found myself disappointment when I should have invested in a professional instead of doing a friend a favor. Though Tess is a dear friend from school, she is absolutely no exception. I would have never been so excited to hire her if her photography work wasn't exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. Our ceremony was small and intimate, but Tess' work made it feel no less important because the guest size or venue. I'm a fat woman of color, and I'm often self-conscious of how other people, even friends, photograph me and the effort they lack in taking even casual pictures of myself or of me with my husband. However, Tess captured exactly how I felt that day. Not because of any editing, but because she captured our beauty and love for each other exactly as we are. Though Tess did put in so much time and effort into knowing me and my husband as a couple, it doesn't matter how intimately you know your subject — without talent, without having an eye for precious moments and framing and being able to anticipate a shoot's big moments, there's no way you can do what someone like Tess does. We planned our ceremony and reception ourselves — no planner, no coordinator — and Tess' experience helped immensely in planning exactly what we needed and wanted for photos. Despite being a friend, she treated us like any other pair of clients, with extreme professionalism and care, and even went above her scope of work for shooting during the reception and returning our gallery. I'm so happy to see her thrive in her calling, and am honored to have experienced her talents. Tess is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I know we'll be booking her to document important life milestones in the future.

I want you guys to be able to look at your photos and remember how you felt, not just like how you looked. My style is both candid and posed. Both photojournalistic and at times editorial.

She had everything I wanted documented so she was able to guide the day along in a way so I didn't have to stress at all about coordinating - I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day! Dara did our engagement photos, my boudoir photos, our wedding day, and interviewed our family and friends for the wedding video! Her rates and deals are unbeatable and she went above and beyond to make everything perfect and stress-free for us.
