I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of documenting weddings through honest, meaningful imagery. I believe photographs are one of the few things that become more valuable with time. My approach is rooted in documentary storytelling. I am drawn to genuine connection, quiet moments, joyful celebrations, and the emotions that naturally unfold throughout your wedding day. While I will gently guide you during portraits, my goal is always to create images that feel authentic and true to your relationship rather than overly posed.

Danielle was absolutely amazing for my wedding! I had worked with her once before at my friend’s wedding, and I knew immediately that I wanted her to photograph mine as well. She is incredibly friendly, her work is stunning, and her prices are very reasonable. Her positive attitude is contagious. As someone who is extremely photo-shy and self-conscious, she made me feel beautiful and actually enjoy taking photos. Her assistant was also fantastic! I can’t wait to book another shoot with her in the future. Thank you, Danielle, for capturing my special day so perfectly!

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

A Brit from just south of London, 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.

From the moment we first connected back in 2020 at my sister's wedding, it was clear that Philip's work was something truly special. His unique style captures not just images, but emotions and moments in a way that is both artistic and genuine. On our wedding day, Philip brought a wonderful energy that made us feel at ease. He has a remarkable ability to blend into the background while still capturing all the important moments, and having a laugh together always makes the experience amazing. The candid shots are stunning, reflecting the joy and love of the day perfectly. Each photo tells a story, and we were amazed at how he captured the little details that we had put so much thought into. Working with Philip was a joy; his professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography shone through every interaction. We love how Philip’s unique style adds a timeless quality to our photos, making them treasures we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who brings creativity, professionalism, and a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Philip Thomas.

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!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

My approach: Humans first, photographs second. In a very fast-paced, social media driven society, I strive to create art that fosters connection and community. Instead of focusing my photography career on “How can I take a pretty photo?” it became “How can I get to know this person and showcase who they are through this photograph?”. The best way to do that is by digging deep and getting to know the real you. Becoming your friend, confidant, and go-to person throughout this journey. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

He is very organized and has a detailed questionnaire to fill out before the wedding to ensure he has all the important information so the day-of goes smoothly. We asked for some specific shots and ideas and he made sure that we got everything we mentioned! We also did an engagement shoot with David to meet him ahead of time and we LOVE those pictures too.

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

From the moment we first spoke with Ari from Theel Productions, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding. Ari has a warm, friendly, and cheerful communication style that instantly put us at ease. She is an expert at what she does, and her talent was evident in the way she authentically captured every special moment during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. We truly felt so special to work with Ari - she is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, timely, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I could not recommend Theel Productions enough to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding photographer.

Wedding photography is so much more than snapping a few frames. It's about being a part of the experience, making connections, and meeting new people. Whether it's laughter, joy, or romance, there is nothing better than being able to show what a couple's love is all about through images. I care about the moments first and foremost. Let's create some magic, make memories, and have an experience that you won't soon forget!

John is the best! Our wedding pictures came out better than I could have imagined. He is incredibly responsive, open to your ideas and suggestions, and goes above and beyond. He captured the moments we will treasure forever in a way I didn't think was possible! You can't go wrong with John as your photographer. I do recommend you book with him early as he was pretty thoroughly booked this summer.

Welcome to Wild West Weddings, where your love story is beautifully captured in a boho, rustic, western, or woodsy style. We specialize in wedding photography, videography, DJ services, photo booths, and rentals, creating an unforgettable experience for your big day. Hi, I'm Caitlin, and I'm dedicated to making your wedding dreams come true long before you say "I do." When you choose me as your photographer, you're not just getting someone to snap photos; you're gaining a friend who understands your vision and shares your passion for life’s special moments.

We saw Wild West Weddings at a friend's wedding and knew we needed someone like that in our corner. She responded quickly to every question and handled all the details with REAL responsibility, making the whole process feel smooth. When our timeline fell apart on the wedding day, Caitlin stepped in and got us back on track while keeping me calm—she took charge in exactly the right way. What really stood out was how seriously she approaches her work without making it feel stressful; she brought this infectious energy that made us want to grab coffee with her after it was all over. Her photos capture everything beautifully, and it's clear this is what she was meant to do. We honestly can't imagine having made a better vendor choice. DOO IT!!! You won't regret this god send on your wedding day. It doesn't matter how you plan, it matters WHO your back up plan is, and Caitlin and her team will get it done, make sure you look good while doing it, and then also capture that moment for later.
