We initially went with Sound Originals out of cost consideration and ease of booking because their combined photo/video package seemed so much more cost effective than many of the quotes we were getting from individual photographers and videographers. We assumed therefore that the quality might be a bit diminished by comparison, but were quite pleasantly surprised to discover that this was not the case! We are beyond pleased with the coverage they provided of our wedding and reception, and would certainly recommend Sound Originals to anyone seeking photo/video of their big day. Our team on the day of the wedding were absolute rock stars. Kate, Trung, and Travis all were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond in ensuring we had excellent photos and video--both candids and plandids. We're so grateful to each of them for their excellent work! If you're considering booking Sound Originals, there is one practical consideration we might offer, however: Their business model seems streamlined to provide a standardized product and level of quality to many clients at once by contracting with local photographers and videographers--this is great for ensuring that clients know what to expect visually and that the company has backup photographers ready in case any members of the assigned team can't make it, but this also seems to come at the cost of personal touch when communicating with the company and the photo/video team. Our communications with them were always through a portal on their website and often felt rather impersonal. This was a trade off we were perfectly fine with, given the very affordable price we paid for our package and the piece of mind in knowing that even if our lead photographer got sick or something, someone else would be there to fill in. If you, however, require a high level of customization or personal touch and want to cultivate a close relationship with your photographer, then you may want to hire a photographer/team directly.

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!!

I am Erica and photography is my passion. It makes me happy that you are here reading this! My photography journey started not too long ago when I was dabbling in product photography for some local jewelers. I had taken some photos of engagement rings by themselves but it didn’t really hit me until I started working with models! From then on I realized I really enjoyed photographing people and connecting with them. Shortly after this revelation, my good friend asked me to take her engagement photos and the rest is history! Ever since I have been photographing every moment I can for my clients!

We had the most fun at our engagement photo shoot with Erica. She made our dream photos a reality! Erica was friendly, quick to respond, and incredibly professional. She did our engagement photos and will be shooting our wedding, and we could not be more thrilled. Erica made us feel so comfortable and beautiful during our engagement session - it was such a fun and joyful experience, and the photos turned out amazing! We have been delighted to share the beautiful images with our friends and family. Erica's work is truly perfect and turned out better than we could have imagined, we know she will capture all the special moments of our wedding day beautifully. We highly recommend Erica Bonorden Photography to any couple looking for an amazing photography experience!!

Just Like Honey by Nadine Berns

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Wharton, TX

I’m not a posed kinda gal, I believe in capturing you two as you are and telling your story. I believe in approaching my clients as friends and fostering a connection between us to better be able to tell your story. Right from the moment you hire me, I’m there to help you through the whole planning process. Finding outfits that fit yall, helping dream of a location that helps tell your story, and guiding yall through our session. If it’s your wedding, I’m here to help you make your wedding the most you. Be your advocate. I’m in your corner. I know all the best and LGBTQ+ friendly vendors in the business.

As someone who HATES getting their photo taken (no seriously, it made me more nervous than the actual getting married part), I needed Nadine. Nadine is an absolute dream to work with. She is so attentive to your needs and really works her best for her clients. She did my sister's wedding, so I knew immediately after meeting her that she would need to do mine as well. In both events, she made all of us feel so comfortable and basically like the camera was not even there. She handled our families so well, so every mom felt heard and ensured that we got those "high priority" photos done. She went above and beyond for us. She traveled to Colorado from Texas. It felt like we had someone we knew and who knew us, which helped on this amazing but stressful day. That gave us a breath of fresh air. As part of her style, she blends in to catch the candid moments (which is what I wanted), and tbh I did not even see her for most of the night, but I know she was there. She is truly amazing and I feel honored to have her as my photographer. Now, we are clients for life.

Kelly Urban Photography

Hey! I'm Kelly and I would love to sing, dance and goof around with you at your wedding. I've been a wedding photographer for over 10 years and absolutely LOVE what I do. Getting couples to laugh and genuinely smile in photos is my specialty!

We absolutely loved working with Kelly Urban Photography! From the moment we connected, Kelly was incredibly organized, responsive, and easy to talk to an absolute professional with a creative soul. We instantly bonded over our shared love of World of Warcraft, especially since many of our guildies were at the wedding and we were meeting several of them in person for the first time! It made the entire experience even more fun and meaningful. Kelly went above and beyond during our engagement shoot—trekking out to my truck yard, embracing the rain, and capturing some of the most unique and beautiful photos we've ever seen. Her creativity and ability to find beauty in unexpected places is unmatched. On the wedding day, she was perfectly on time, super efficient, and worked effortlessly with all our different friend and family groups. She made even the shyest guests feel at ease with her natural, friendly conversation turning what could have been awkward moments into genuine smiles and laughter. We’re so grateful to have had Kelly be a part of our day and already can’t wait to work with her again for future family shoots. She’s not just an incredible photographer, but a wonderful person to have by your side on such a special day. Highly, highly recommend!

I'm JoAnn, but you can call me your new best friend I'm a couples photographer, a wife, and a mama, from Houston, Tx. I started photography during the pandemic, I had recently had my son and I wasn't able to have any photos taken of him due to quarantine lockdown so I figured I'd make them myself. Little did I know I'd make a business out of it. So now here I am doing this thing I'm so passionate about all the while being able to capture these milestones for my family. What I absolutely love is going on adventures with awesome couples and sharing their incredible journey all while being able to seize the moment for them to treasure forever.

JoAnn Marie Photography was a delight to work with for our wedding day and beyond. Their communication style is professional, fast, and easy, which made the entire process a breeze. The quality of their work is truly beautiful, with an exceptional attention to detail that captured stunning photos we can look back on forever. JoAnn was there to guide us through poses and help us feel comfortable, ensuring we have memories from our special day that make us feel as if we are right back in that moment. We have used JoAnn Marie Photography for our wedding, a recent boudoir session, and will continue to use them for all our family photos - her energy and talent are unmatched!

Boettcher Films

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wharton, TX

Boettcher Films was made in an attempt to slow down and simplify. Using only film formats, my husband and I have been documenting weddings on Super8 and 35mm since 2020. We recently have created photo + video packages for those who crave untraditional film coverage of their wedding day. My family and I are nestled in a small farming community west of Houston, Texas. Our desire for slow intentional living has fostered not only our wedding inspiration, but also how we do life. You will find these themes woven throughout our work.

When searching for a photo/videographer we wanted someone who shoots film, has a laid back documentary style, and could make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Boettcher films checked all of these boxes and then exceeded expectations! From our first communication I sensed Gracie’s warmth and passion for what she does. We had an engagement shoot before our big day, my husband and I were super nervous about being photographed, but Gracie and Jonathan made it feel like we were just hanging out and getting to know each other. The results speak for themselves, it really captured our love in a way I didn’t know was possible. I will cherish those photos forever! Wedding day was just the same, my friends and family all raved about how awesome they are. We haven’t seen wedding photos yet but we just know they’ll be beautiful!

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

Their work was exemplary - the photos they captured were detailed and high-quality, ensuring we'll be able to relive the magic of our wedding for years to come.

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
WHEW okay first, I just need to say, Jessie and Dylan are wonderful. They are incredible photographers and just overall wonderful people. My husband (Dj) and I eloped in Colorado in October 2024, just the two of us. Our families wanted to celebrate, so we decided to go ahead and host a reception, and we landed on April 2025. My husband and I live in New Braunfels, so we decided to host the reception in NB. A quick google search brought me to Jessie's page, and I immediately fell in love. I loved her work, and I loved the overall vibe she brought through her website. I contacted her and got a super quick response - quick communication is everything! I was slightly worried before booking because our situation was different than the "traditional" weddings, and I wasn't sure how it would be received. However, our first call went so smoothly. She made me feel so at ease with our non-traditional event, and she was on board immediately. We booked right away! Communication was 10/10 throughout the entire process. We knew exactly what she and Dylan needed from us, and we could easily communicate what we were looking for from them. The day of our reception was absolutely seamless. Jessie and Dylan are like the two friends you'd invite to your wedding as guest anyway! They are so down to earth and go with the flow. They made both Dj and I feel like we were the stars of the show but also neverrrrr made us feel uncomfortable. By the end of the night, they both felt like old friends we had known forever. They kept the entire shoot so playful, and we were laughing and cracking jokes all night. They are so creative, and their photography is truly art. They are not your traditional boring pose kind of photography. They capture the true fun, candid moments, which is exactly what we were looking for. We have been obsessing over our gallery since they completed it (which I haven't even mentioned yet was delivered SO quickly). I have visions of creating a gallery wall for our living room but haven't pulled the trigger yet because I legit cannot pick which ones I want because they are all THAT GOOD! Hopefully this review, and all of the other 5 star reviews, speak for themselves. If you are looking for photographers that listen to you, captures the candid, raw, fun moments of your day, and ones that will become your friend (it's true - we still chat, even months after our reception!!) - book with Jessie and Dylan! You absolutely won't regret it :)

Ashley is actually the best photographer known to man. She took our elopement photos in Las Vegas as well as our wedding photos locally in TX. I wanted more of a candid and vintage vibe with our photos and boy did Ashley deliver! And on top of that she makes you so comfortable and produces such a fun environment for pictures. My husband and I are super awkward and goofy and she was able to still make us look like a million bucks. Our only complaint at the end of the day is that we wish she could follow us everywhere and take our pictures all the time!! I couldn't suggest Brownie Photography more to any couple who is looking for pictures to cherish for all the years to come.

John was amazing from start to finish! We met John at some open houses we went to in our planning process and ended up at Hofmann Ranch and we decided to use John as our photographer to capture our special day and our engagement shoot. Our engagement photos were taken at the Historic Market Square in San Antonio on the almost hottest, sunniest day, and they turned out incredible - we used our engagement photos for our save-the-dates, wedding website, and table décor. He was super responsive, answering all our questions, met with us via Zoom before the shoot and wedding day, and helped us create a timeline early in the planning process. On the wedding day, John was a joy to have around -  he’s fun, personable, and able to seamlessly fit in with our big wedding parties and families. Despite all the chaos, he wrangled everyone and captured every shot we wanted. He was creative, quick on his feet, and even took extra photos and videos with his phone, which we loved. The sneak peeks we’ve seen so far are fantastic, and we can’t wait for the full portfolio. John was absolutely the best investment we made for our wedding day!
