Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

From the very first moment I met Kiersten, I knew she was the perfect choice to document our wedding. Her warm and engaging personality made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our special day. The way she captures the essence of a moment is nothing short of magical. Her romantic style effortlessly highlights the love and joy shared between us and our guests. Each photograph tells a beautiful story, filled with emotion and grace. We were especially impressed by her ability to capture candid moments, turning fleeting seconds into cherished memories that we will treasure forever. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft are evident in every shot. Whether it was a quiet, intimate exchange or a lively dance floor scene, she managed to capture every moment. In addition to how talented she is, she brought a sense of calm and joy to the day. Her friendly demeanor and approach made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and compassionate photographer to be a part of our celebration. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only deliver stunning, romantic images but also add a touch of warmth and personal connection to your wedding day, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiersten. She is truly one of the sweetest souls.

I love all things wedding so being a wedding photographer was an easy choice for me! My favorite part of the wedding process is getting to know our couples.

Five years ago, I was planning my own wedding and wanting a photographer I was compatible with and who could capture me and my husband without feeling terribly awkward. I found that! When the night was over, I told Albert, "I'm so glad we're married." I could sigh knowing those moments I would soon forget would be captured and documented. At AlesiaKim and Co, that's our values. We are a wedding planning, photography, and videographer team that are intentional about orchestrating and capturing real authentic emotions and smiles so those memories can be preserved for future generations.

Passion filled Austin wedding photographers that give you the peace of mind that comes from having photographers beaming with vibrant personality capturing the emotional, authentic, joyful moments of your day .

If you need the most amazing photographers for your wedding... please, book this duo. Brett & Joanna are an incredible husband wife team. Brett is hilarious and so easy to get along with. Joanna gives direction well and again, is hilarious. Both communicate SO well and their passion for photography is inspiring. We felt more than comfortable with them along our entire journey!! Our photos are GORGEOUS and they truly captured the memories that we will remember forever. I must include a prime example of how in-tune these two are: I have a scar on my right arm that I am self conscious about and truthfully, it would have been a challenge for anyone to get around. However, our photos limited the number of times my scar was visible, if even at all. A truly unique touch that means so much. We will 100% be booking them to photograph all future events in our lives. I can't say enough about how incredible these two are. Worth every penny and then some!!!

I first encountered Krystal's photography as part of Edges Wild Studio's portfolio [Edges Wild is a bespoke floral company in Houston that creates STUNNING installations and bouquets] and from the very beginning loved her sweeping sense of narrative and moody, artistic, rich-toned vibe. Krystal has competitively priced packages and is wonderful to work with. As soon as my fiancé and I met Krystal, we knew that she would be paying attention to all the right details during our ceremony: catching the quirky moments and the sentimental ones. Krystal is professional, efficient, experienced, and still carries with her the joy and presence of really enjoying her job. And of course, we ended up with photos that we love. They are dramatic, sensational, brimming with color and story.

Dallas, TX

  • Serves Athens, TX

Hi I’m Taylor Anne! She/her! I’m a published editorial fashion and wedding photographer based out of Dallas, Texas! I knew for certain that I wanted to be a photographer on a trip to Paris with my mom in 2005. I had a small little point and shoot digital camera that I used to take photos of literally everything around the city. I got artistic with the sunset over the Seine, and caught a couple having a romantic moment on the bridge. It was then that I said to myself, “Oh, I actually kind of like this,” and began the process of photographing for the next 16 years.

We got married almost a year ago at this point and we cannot begin to describe how great working with Taylor was. She was always SO on top of everything. She is incredibly prompt with her responses and was able to answer any questions we had. Scheduling with her was a breeze (even when the weather never cooperated with us & we had to reschedule engagement photos). She used many different photography styles (digital, film, etc.). Our photos & videos turned out BEAUTIFUL! She is truly an artist!!! We adore her timeless style and eye for the finest details. She captured our day exactly how we had envisioned. We will cherish these special photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to working with Taylor again in the future!

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!

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Hi I’m Kari! I am an elopement and wedding photographer based in Texas but I am available to travel!!! Love has so much beauty and comes in so many forms which is why I love capturing it so much. Its never the same and everyone has their own love story. Telling that story is what I was meant for.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

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 is a *dream* to work with! As a coordinator, we've seen firsthand how a photographer can make or break a timeline that we and our couples have put so much intentional thought into. Joann did an amazing job at keeping the photography timeline on track and wrangling all the wedding party members to ensure the couple got all the shots they were wanting. Her personality meshed so well with the couple and wedding party! I loved watching her work with them throughout the wedding day! 10000% would recommend her for any couples looking for a fun and personable wedding photographer who will make you feel comfortable and confident!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

I just love taking photographs! Photos are something I've valued as long as I can remember, and I've had a camera since I could click the shutter button. My husband and I got into real estate, and then owned a salon, so I took a lot of commercial style photos. We sold our salon and I started taking photographs professionally.

Morgan with Collier Lifestyle Photography has been so amazing to work with and really knows how to capture a quality photo whether it be candid or posed. She’s super flexible with last minute changes thrown her way that several photographers wouldn’t be willing to accommodate nowadays. She has amazing ideas that she implements to make fantastic pictures. She’ll even have solutions outside the role of photographer that help put a bride’s mind at ease rather than turning into a bridezilla LOL. She’s helping moments last a lifetime and we love her for that. So grateful to have come across Morgan in our search for a wedding photographer and are beyond grateful and very pleased with the results of her work!!! Thank you so, so much!!

  • Serves Athens, TX

I’m a husband, father and believer. I live in Fort Worth with my amazing wife Jeanene and son Christian. We love to play board games, build with legos and go outside on adventures. We love riding our bikes and going to our family farm. I received my degree in Graphic Design with a focus in Marketing from the Art Institute in Dallas. After photographing my first wedding in 2007 I knew that I had found my calling. That first wedding changed my whole world. I can honestly say that after photographing over 700 weddings that I still LOVE what I do today.

Being a wedding and event planner I have worked with many photographers over the years. Stephen at Jeckyl Photography is by far one of the best. Easy to work with, great ideas, above and beyond service to our clients, and complete professionalism. Not to mention an artistic uniqueness that is hard to come by. I would highly recommend Jeckyl Photography for any event you are planning.

I am Elizabeth Couch. I create bold, beautiful, romantic & timeless images for lovebirds worldwide. Beyond photography, I am wife to Ryan, the most patient and loving man on earth. Our family is passionate about life-long learning, art, comedy and what we categorize as "nerd stuff" (that means I can talk about Star Wars for hours).

First, let me just say how professional Elizabeth was taking our pictures. Before the wedding, she had a list of different photos we wanted most so that she made sure those were taken and they were! We received our photos within a timely manner and they were absolutely stunning! I will be asking Elizabeth for all our photography needs!

Hi! My name is Lydia and I'm a Nashville Wedding Photographer. While I'm based in Tennessee, I'm more than willing to travel well beyond that. My photography style is light, bright and true to life.

Lydia and her assistant Lanie photographed our wedding at my grandparent’s house. They were both prompt, friendly, professional, and they took the most BEAUTIFUL photos!! All of our guests enjoyed interacting with them, and I am seriously going to have a hard time narrowing down my top favorites because the photos are just fantastic. Lydia even delivered our gallery ahead of schedule! I highly recommend her :)

Timeless, candid wedding photography by Kourtney Hamilton. Serving Dallas, Fort Worth and beyond. I specialize in weddings, engagements, and proposals. There are so many dynamics that go into photographing a wedding, and I love that each one is special and unique. The easiest way to ensure that you receive images that display forever love, is to just enjoy your day. The moments I capture are able to happen when couples trust in our shared vision!

Don’t walk, RUN to book KHamilton photography! Kourtney was such a pleasure to work with, be it her professionalism, flexibility, or passion for executing the vision of her clients. We had the opportunity to shoot with Kourtney for an engagement shoot (2 outfit changes). The day we booked it ended up raining, and rather than cancelling, Kourtney showed up with an umbrella for us to use and didn’t miss a beat. The photos came out BEAUTIFUL! We can’t wait to work with her again in the future.

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.

Moments by Danielle Nicole is a light and airy photographer and videographer, serving brides in South Dakota, Minnesota, and open to travel to beautiful destination locations. MBDN leans towards a luxury wedding photographer and fine art type of editing style.

We hired Danielle for our wedding after our original photo/video team cancelled on us 6 months out. As stressful as it was, I’m so glad that happened because Danielle is AMAZING. She is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and her light and airy photos are stunning. She is very professional and organized. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. We all know posing for pictures is awkward sometimes, but Danielle made us and our bridal party feel comfortable on the wedding day and it shows in the photos just how much fun we had with her. Danielle actually lives in SD about 45 minutes from my husband and I and we have already discussed that she will be our go to photographer for all our future photo needs. Her prices are beyond reasonable for everything included in her packages. We actually got the same amount of coverage as the original team we hired, but for about 1500 less which is huge when planning a wedding! If you’re looking for a photo/video team reach out to Danielle, you won’t 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!

  • 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!
