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 Weinert, 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?!

Hi, I’m Linda—the Fort Worth wedding photographer behind Liepina Photography & Videography. My approach blends real, unscripted moments with timeless portraits, without making your wedding feel like an all-day photoshoot. You won’t have to wonder where to stand or what to do with your hands—I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when you don’t, so you can enjoy your wedding while I capture it as it naturally unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kimberly is truly incredible! Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but she also is so warm and kind and makes the experience so easy. We were feeling awkward about getting photos done, but she was so supportive and guided us well. I would recommend her a million times again.

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.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. 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. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience
