From the moment we first reached out to Evoke Photography & Video, their communication was great. The photographer, Sarah, got everything done that needed to be done to capture our special day. When we received the final photos, we were so amazed at the quality and beauty of her work. The pictures were incredible, especially the family portraits and the stunning sunset shots. We were so excited to show everyone, and they all loved the photos just as much as we did. The sunset in the background made for such beautiful, warm lighting. I couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Evoke Photography & Video's services - they truly helped make our wedding day perfect.

Erica Bonorden Photography

  • Serves Bay City, TX

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

Hey there! I’m Britt, the creative spirit behind TLC. Picture us chatting over coffee like old friends—that’s the vibe I bring to everything I do. For 12 years, I’ve been capturing love stories full-time, with five-star reviews and Best of Weddings awards to back it up. Creating with my hands is my jam, whether it’s photographing your moments or crafting something beautiful. I live for travel, tattoos, caffeine, dark romance novels, Thai food, and Gilmore Girls. With my family and dogs at the center, a twisted sense of humor, thrift-store finds, and an eclectic music mix (from Death Cab to J Balvin), I’m here to make some magic with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to begin! I found The Love Colletive in summer 2023 while looking for a local, reasonably priced photographer for our small religious wedding. From our first phone consultation through the months leading up to the actual wedding day, Britt was so kind, generous with her time, and attentive. I don’t usually like being the center of attention and feel awkward being photographed, but she creates the most easygoing, playful, and comfortable atmosphere that quickly dissipates any awkwardness. She was very conscientious and respectful, making sure to ask if it was okay for her to photograph our religious ceremony. Our photos were beautiful & delivered promptly; many of them went on to be used as various holiday cards. We had such a great experience with Britt we ended up asking her to photograph our reception in 2024 and plan to do family photos with her in 2025. I’ve recommended Britt to my own friends & can’t recommend her enough to any future Houston area brides out there!

JoAnn Marie Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Bay City, TX

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 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Bay City, 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!

Morgan Elise Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Bay City, TX

My name is Morgan Elise, and I have had a camera in my hand since I was around nine years old. I specialize as a storyteller & documentarian photographer. Nothing brings me more joy than capturing moments you don’t necessarily see… but I do. I am constantly looking for those quiet moments, genuine smiles, laughs, hugs, kisses, etc. I want to tell YOUR story as authentically as I can. My work has heavily been influenced by my intuition and empathic gifts, history, vogue, literature- mostly Jane Austen, and poetry. Before every session, I create a story of poses for each client, carefully curated for each person’s personal story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Morgan for our wedding, and I’m so glad we did. She did an incredible job capturing every moment of our special day. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—just the way I envisioned. She was kind, easy to work with, and made us feel completely at ease. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

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.

They have a true gift for capturing moments; anyone who meets them will immediately see that. Their ability to make you feel completely comfortable and at ease allows them to take the most beautiful and natural photos. Our wedding photos turned out absolutely stunning. They captured every special moment perfectly, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I honestly couldn't have asked for better photographers to document such an important day in our lives. If you're on the fence about your wedding photographer, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessie and Dylan, and would hire them a million times over! Wedding photos are priceless, and investing in photographers you trust is worth every penny. You won't be disappointed with Jessie and Dylan!

Bellagala Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Bay City, TX

Your photographer will be one of the most important vendors you select, period. The photographers that Bellagala has hand-selected all have a photojournalistic base but have also developed their own sense of style, and a skill set that is unique to each of them through years of shooting weddings. Each of our wedding photographers, even at the Apprentice level, are subject to a thorough evaluation process before being invited to join the Bellagala team, and we ensure they have a solid record of client service and a strong creative portfolio. We promise you will love their work.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Andrew Parfenov through Bellagala as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We were looking for a photographer with a strong visual voice and a good mix of non-traditional/dramatic portraits and photojournalistic (candid) photos in their portfolio. Andrew brought the drama, the joy, and so much more! From the get-go, Andrew was a delight to work with - he shot our engagement photos and helped us find and arrange a venue for them - and immediately set us at ease. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect pose. On our wedding day, Andrew took the lead on finding locations for photos around our venue, posing us/our bridal party/our family, and finding moments for candid shots at the reception. Multiple family members have reached out after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed Andrew's approach and how at ease they felt with him. If you're considering Andrew for your special occasion, book him - we can't recommend him highly enough!

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.

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.

I can’t recommend Emily Michelle Photography enough. They were so responsive with every single question I had and prompt on the day of. Every single photo turned out even better than I could have ever imagined. I still smile looking at the moments they were able to capture without me even knowing. As a bride that’s not the most comfortable in front of the camera, I found myself at ease with this team. They even stepped in to help with an impossible bustle situation with my dress.

We chose John to photograph our wedding this year but we decided to have a courthouse ceremony a year earlier. As soon as we scheduled our court date I emailed John ASAP and asked if he could capture our special day. As our day approached, John was professional, on time, and very communicative. He dealt with our large group like it was no problem at all and directed us into the right poses for the camera. We love the photos he took and will cherish them for years to come! If you are considering hiring John for your wedding or engagement photos…DO IT!!
