I love all photography, but I specialize in wedding & senior/graduate photography. It's just so magical to me being part of such a monumental moment in people's lives and being able to capture that for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
Graceful Shutter Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication was excellent - fast, helpful responses to all our questions during planning. On the big day, they helped keep everything on schedule while still being flexible to capture special moments. The photos turned out beautifully, with great quality and a quick delivery time after the wedding. Amanda was so genuine, understanding, and fun to have around. She had creative ideas for activities and photo ops that really made our day special and captured the emotions perfectly. I'd highly recommend Graceful Shutter to any engaged couple looking for not just a photographer but a helpful, supportive partner in making sure your wedding memories are captured wonderfully.

I believe in the amazing blessing of God giving us people in our lives to stand beside us long after the aisle. When the big day comes to a storybook end, you will leave your beautifully decorated ceremony and reception with your forever partner...and your pictures.  All of that planning and preparation is preserved in your images, so you'll want them to be high quality, elegant and authentic so that you can enjoy reminiscing over them for anniversaries to come.

Brandy was so wonderful to work with! I was the day of coordinator for a wedding she was shooting, and she genuinely took care of the couple. She went above and beyond with her services, checking in with the bride and groom and me to make sure everything was running well.

Hi there! My name is Nathan and I've been doing wedding and portrait photography for 17 years. Throughout that time I've had the honor of capturing moments that has brought both tears and laughter. It has been, and continues to be, one of my greatest pleasures to witness the love between couples. From corralling the bridal party to helping with the bride's shoes, I've learned I'm not just a photographer, but someone who is willing to do whatever it takes for you to have an amazing start to your love story.

Annie Austin Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Athens, TX

For the Artistry of Love This is about you. The way you laugh together, the quiet moments when no one else is watching, the chaos and joy that make your love yours. I’m Annie Austin, a documentary meets editorial photographer based in East Texas, and my work is all about creating emotive, artistic, and intentional images that feel as personal as your story. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do—I’ll guide you, capturing the real moments that matter. Let’s create something you’ll not just look at, but feel, every time you see it.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

We’re Silver Bear Creative, a Dallas/Fort Worth Texas based wedding photography and videography husband and wife team that strives every day to stand out from the rest and live up to the adjective in our brand. We bring a fun, fresh and modern storytelling vibe to your wedding images and film and we are so stoked you found us!

Awarded Best of Zola
I did SO much research trying to find the right photo + video team to capture our elopement ceremony and separate reception event... I scoured wedding websites and social medias galore until we found them and fell in love with their work. We booked with Kris and Allison as one of our first vendors, (right at the beginning of all the COVID craziness) making sure that no matter what happened, we had the best team to capture everything. We wanted photos that felt “real”- natural editing, no awkwardly staged posing, and a timeless style that felt personal and unique, which could best showcase our love and who we are as a couple... We put complete trust in them, and WOW did they deliver!! After we did an engagement session with Allison and got our photos back, we were blown away! We knew our wedding gallery was going to be nothing short of epic. (Seriously, EPIC is even an understatement!) We’re definitely not “naturals,” and generally very uncomfortable in front of a camera, but she makes you feel so at ease, is patient, funny, and helpful with giving instructions to make you look and feel your best! Kris is so stealthy... so kind, super chill and easy to talk to, while sneakily capturing ALL the best shots without you ever even noticing! Our video ended up all pieced together in such a thoughtful and creative way that made us cry- watching it brings back all of the emotions so vividly! And even with our events happening on two different days, it all flowed together so flawlessly! Our photos and video felt so unique to us, and their detail and creative eye is excellent. On top of that, their personalities are just as great (I mean, I feel like having a cute married photo/video couple is just all around good wedding day vibes...), and after the reception so many guests commented on how cool and personable they were, while still being professional and never “in the way.” They fit right in at our intimate setting, and you can tell they just love “love” and their craft. To put it plainly, they really are just THAT good. Our wedding experience was enhanced x10000 because of them, and knowing that we’ll have the most beautiful photos to share for years and years is absolutely priceless. You only get one magical day, and when it’s over all you’ll have are the great memories and (hopefully, if you hire these guys) phenomenal photos + video! There are no words to describe how eternally grateful we are to have had them be a part of our “best day ever.” Or how well they were able to document all the details and moments of joy, love, and pure happiness between us and all our friends/family! I’d go on, but check out their work because it speaks for itself (seriously, I’m still obsessed with their Instagram feed after the fact!) I always knew the power of a great photo + video team, but the Silverbears are next level, 5 star, top shelf, A-Team, above and beyond, and truly remarkable. The best in the game.

  • Serves Athens, TX

The greatest gift we have ever received is time. I photograph as much of life as I can in order to preserve each of those moments as they once were. Time goes by so fast and sometimes we forget the small things, I started taking pictures because I want to be able to relive those wonderful moments as much as I could. I am learning new tricks of trade every day and experimenting with all the wonderful opportunities I am given. I travel all over the country to capture these cherished moments and love every second of it. Photography for me is a love and joy that if given the chance I can give those same moments back to you.

Bre is hands down the best wedding photographer! She is extremely professional in her work, but also makes the entire process so fun! I have had participated in many weddings (as well as my own) with Breana as the photographer and each one has been such an amazing experience! I look back on my wedding photos, bridals and engagement pictures every day and I am still in awe at how beautifully she captured each memory for us!

I have been a professional photographer for just over nine years. I am also the mother of a handful of 9-year-old boys and an adorable little girl! I am extremely lucky that my husband Kody shares my enthusiasm for photography and he joins me as needed for a second shooter or videographer! Photography has been my passion since I was young, and I am humbled every day to be able to pursue this as my career. I love to shoot weddings, and that is my main focus. There is nothing more special than being a part of so many special events over the years for couples and families!

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

Sam & Kyle have been such a joy to get to watch work with other couples. Having a husband and wife team is special to begin with, but Sam and Kyle especially have a way of making couples feel comfortable and in charge of their wedding days without being distracting. These two are absolute gems as humans beings, but their technical skills in photography just take the experience to a whole new level. Sam and Kyle pour their hearts and souls into helping couples plan every portion of their day as well as into every ounce of hand-editing they do to each couple's gallery. The Dropped Pin offers a truly invaluable experience that every couple deserves on their wedding day. If I had my wedding day to do all over again, these two would no doubt be my photographers, my planning guides, and my support system on the most important day of my life.

Sound Originals Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
