The Dropped Pin

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Athens, TX

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 and Kyle make an incredible creative team! We got in touch with them after a surprise elopement and were interested in them shooting our reception party. They excel in the elopement category as I am sure you can see from their epic portfolio, but they were just as amazing through the entire process and day of our reception. As with many couples these past few years, we needed to postpone our party for a year and a half before we could gather safely. Sam and Kyle kept in contact regularly and let us know we weren't alone. They provided some amazing guides and so much support while we worked through the challenges of planning throughout a pandemic and busy schedules. They have put so much thought and time into every aspect of their business and making sure their clients have a comfortable and beautiful experience when they work with The Dropped Pin. They encouraged us to sit down intentionally and to find time to go through the questionnaires together and it ended up making for some beautifully connected moments for me and my partner in the midst of everything else. This was all just in the lead-up to the day of! Sam and Kyle were punctual and showed up with plenty of time to get a lay of the venue while everything was still quiet. Like any "well-planned" event, everything ended up being behind schedule. This didn't phase Sam or Kyle, they just kept smiling and keeping everyone at ease, they truly did make herding cats look effortless! Now for the really good stuff, the photos. OMG, THE PHOTOS! Stunning. Breathtaking. Flawless. They were prompt with a sneak peek and final delivery and we are still taken aback at what they were able to capture. Having Sam and Kyle as a part of our day was the best decision we ever could have made. Friends are obsessed with them and the photos they took so I really hope we will get an excuse to work with them again one day!

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

Working with Monica was great! She’s easy going and listens to what you need. I didn’t know what I wanted out of photos and she helped me figure it out. The photos we’ve received back so far are gorgeous.

Unposed, authentic and raw storytelling. I’m there for church weddings or a 5 mile hike up your favorite mountain. I see your vision and capture your day in all the real emotion that it is. Wedding photography is about remembering the season that you where in and everything that it meant to you, and that is what I completely intent to do.

I found Ally through my maid of honor, she shot her engagement photos and I loved her style. She shot our engagement photos and made us feel really comfortable. We are kind of awkward and had never done anything like it before and she directed us really well where it didn’t feel posed and the photos came out looking really natural!! She has a great sense of humor too which made it fun. She’s quick to send you a set of favorites that you can post while she edits the entire library. She did our wedding that summer as well and was great! We wanted her to capture the venue and small details, and include some b&w images too. There were so many good photos to choose from! She and her partner work great together to capture different angles. They’re super down to earth and easy to work with! I feel like the price is a great deal for the quality too and the photos don’t feel over-edited. Highly recommend!!

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!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

I have a genuine love for life, and as a photographer. My goal is to bring forth and capture that unique beauty, and tell a story in the form of carefully crafted images. To immortalize a single moment in time that can be cherished by all, generation after generation, to evoke deep emotions and fond memories, to inspire passion, … these are the desires that drive me. I don’t want to just take pictures for you, I want to create feelings. Photography is a beautiful and exciting experience. It is a passion that I love to share with others.

Chris is truly phenomenal! He is such a pleasure to work with and brings amazing energy to every project. From our engagement shoot, to family/graduation photos to our wedding, he kept the same high quality and standards. Leading up to our wedding, he met with us several times to discuss exactly what we wanted to capture, what aspect of the wedding meant the most to us and our timeline. He then crafted a detailed yet flexible schedule, that included time to get all of our portraits and also lots of candid shots (which are the best ones in my opinion!). Chris worked so well with all of our other vendors and was extremely flexible on the day of when the weather changed plans significantly. Even with all the hiccups on the day, the amazing photos and the way he captured our love and our families will be cherished for not only our lifetimes, but for many more after us!

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.

My husband and I were very lucky and blessed to work with JoAnn! Our initial photographer was not available for our wedding and referred us JoAnn. Being so last minute she did not hesitate not once to help us and make our experience the best. The communication, detail, expectations, patience was all there. Her questionnaire was very detail and asked every question you can think of. The best part was not needing to stress on our special day. She took care of everything and captured every detail & edited every picture so beautifully. We thank her so much!

Hey there, I'm Bethany – a passionate photographer with a heart for all things wild and adventurous. I love capturing the genuine, unscripted moments that make wedding days beautifully unique. With over 300 weddings under my belt, I can truthfully say that not a single one has been the same and each one requires it’s own attention to detail. Every love story is its own masterpiece, and I'm here to bring yours to life through photographs that speak to the heart. I love encapsulating the raw emotions, the bursts of laughter, the stolen glances, and the unbreakable bonds between!

We love Bethany so much! My now husband and I rarely take photos so we didn’t have a clue how to pose or anything before we met Bethany! She made our engagement shoot so much fun by posing us, coaching us through the whole shoot and we shared a lot of laughs. We ended up with amazing shots we cherish now and forever. THEN come our wedding day, she was so EFFICIENT. We didn’t want to spend several hours on posed photos, just wanted to capture a few frame worthy shots with the family, and the rest was candid throughout the night which we REALLY appreciated. We got to enjoy our night with family and friends and we can’t wait so see the amazing shots she captured with her assistant. I would recommend her as a photographer time and time again!

I'm the wife to my high school main squeeze, Levi. We enjoy escaping on date nights or just chill-axing together in some peace and quiet at home when the kiddos are in bed! Hahaha. We soak every minute in when we have the opportunity to have some kid free time, lol. We have 5 kiddos and two fur babies! I am quite a dog lover! =) I also LOVE the outdoors! I have a passion for fitness, travel and exploring the beauty and wonder of creation. One other thing that is usually very obvious when you get to know me is that i'm usually always in gym attire. Except when photographing weddings of coarse.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you can just stop at this one. Mychelle is amazing. We booked her for engagements, bridal, and of course our wedding and I have absolutely no complaints. She is very professional, and at the same time super laid back and easy to work with. Very responsive and she does everything she can to make sure you are comfortable. Her turnaround time on getting pictures back to us was so fast and the pictures are amazing as well. We were married in early November 2020 and she was even nice enough to get us pictures in time to put on a Christmas card. I could not have asked for more out of a photographer. Pick Mychelle Levan Photography and you will not be disappointed.

I have a journalistic approach to wedding days but I'm also there to help pose you, make you comfortable and guide you along! My end goal as your wedding photographer is, and will always be, giving you images of your special day in a quirky, honest, and emotional way. I love to catch the small moments that go by too quickly between all of the BIG moments that your heart will never forget!

Where do I even start to describe Misty Nolan and our experience with her as our wedding photographer! My partner and I met and instantly connected with her. She was funny, kind, and so incredibly passionate about photography. She answered all our questions and put us at ease about everything. She made us feel comfortable and like we were friends. She was in regular contact with us throughout the wedding planning process and always voiced how excited she was for us and our big day. On our actual wedding day she went completely above and beyond to be there for us making adjustments last minute without hesitation to ease our schedule. She made us and both our wedding parties laugh many times over. My partner and I really wanted someone to capture who we were in a natural and candid way and Misty did just that! We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. She captured our day in a whimsical and romantic fashion. Everything was green and lush and our photos are filled with joy. I don't know how she it but on our big day she was everywhere at once! My now wife and I say all the time booking Misty Nolan for our wedding was our best and easiest wedding decision.

I believe in capturing a story, beautifully written, as it happens. By keeping the AUTHENTICITY of life in every frame, your joy is reflected in the images of your wedding day. My philosophy is that TRUE LOVE comes in all forms and that you deserve to put your trust in someone who wants to capture it with all the love in their heart for you That’s me – LGBTQ friendly. I’m committed to following your journey, wherever it takes me. I love to travel and I often include travel costs in my packages.

We found Jamie while searching for queer-affirming wedding photographers. As a gay couple, we knew we needed a professional who is comfortable capturing expressions of love across a broad spectrum. As Jamie’s portfolio proves, she is well practiced at this. Jamie is a committed ally to our community who does her research and ensures that she does business only with venues and vendors who do not discriminate against queer clients. Beyond that, here’s what makes her an excellent photographer: (1) she is warm and deeply kind, which is crucial to putting her clients at ease and eliciting natural displays of love in an inherently unnatural situation (i.e., cuddling and smooching on cue); (2) she gives direction with a great sense of humor—we will never forget some of her hilariously memorable tips (e.g., watch out for “T-Rex arms”); (3) she is willing to take charge, which is necessary for corralling and posing groups of family and friends while sticking to a schedule; and (4) she is an artist with great care for her craft—she captured our space beautifully and absolutely nailed the blended look of modern and traditional we were going for. We will recommend her to everyone we know who needs to commemorate life’s milestones with a professional photographer, and whenever we have another milestone to commemorate, she is the first person we’ll call. In the meantime, we hope to see her again at the finish line of the Houston Marathon!

Lauren Parr Photography

  • Serves Athens, TX

I specialize in lifestyle and wedding photography for those that value bold and charming imagery. I take a documentary, candid approach and my editing style showcases timeless, vibrant colors with a hint of mood. I have two dogs, I love to travel and spend time outdoors. I enjoy drinking kombucha and listening to 70s music. I'm an enneagram 3 and a sagittarius if that's more your thing.

If you want to be able to relive your wedding day, and feel the love and excitement all over again, Lauren Parr is a must as she truly captures the energy of the day! She encapsulates the pure emotions of every person. My husband and I have never felt photogenic, and are very critical when it comes to ourselves in photos. Lauren put us at ease immediately from our engagement photos, and was so fun to have around on the wedding day. Our photos showcase the beauty of our venue, and the beauty in me and my husband's genuine smiles enjoying each other and this special day. It's amazing at how Lauren and her assistant can be both all over the place capturing all the magic, and non existent at the same time. Some quick background on me - I spent almost 2 decades in the film industry, so I was very particular when choosing a photographer. I had FULL respect and trust for Lauren's craft and her eye. We have photos in our wedding album where people comment how they belong on the cover of a magazine. She simply is extraordinary. Please know that when you hire Lauren, you are not going to receive photos, you're going to receive ART commemorating your special day! If you can't tell, I can't recommend her enough!
