Hi, I’m Chase, owner and lead photographer at Pedigo Photography. Memories last a lifetime. As photographers, it's important that we recreate every moment in a style that is intriguing yet simple. To capture something that's still art 50 years from now is my goal.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chase captured the first of many special moments for me and my husband. So far we’ve worked with Chase on our engagement, bridal shoot, wedding day, and Christmas photoshoot this year. Chase has an eye for wedding photography. I look back at my wedding photos all the time and relive my wedding day all over again. Chase and his team were well prepared to catch our big day like they were born to do it. We gave him a couple of pictures that we would like to see captured but trusted our photographers eye on our wedding day. Chase is the most easy going, friendly, hassle free, reliable, and dedicated to his work. We were blown away with the final product and turn around time. We could see the love for photography in Chase’s work and highly recommend him. I originally picked the package for engagement and wedding. I was instantly impressed with our engagement shoot with Chase not only could I see the quality of work he produces but the professionalism we received as well. I had no doubts for our wedding day pictures but went ahead by added a bridal shoot to my package. This is one of those once in a lifetime events and I wanted to capture it all. I was overjoyed with my bridal shoot and scheduled it prior to our wedding since it started to get dark sooner in November. Highly recommend this guy!!!

Erica Bonorden Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dayton, 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!!

The Love Collective

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dayton, TX
  • Offer

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!

Just Like Honey by Nadine Berns 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Dayton, TX

I’m not a posed kinda gal, I believe in capturing you two as you are and telling your story. I believe in approaching my clients as friends and fostering a connection between us to better be able to tell your story. Right from the moment you hire me, I’m there to help you through the whole planning process. Finding outfits that fit yall, helping dream of a location that helps tell your story, and guiding yall through our session. If it’s your wedding, I’m here to help you make your wedding the most you. Be your advocate. I’m in your corner. I know all the best and LGBTQ+ friendly vendors in the business.

As someone who HATES getting their photo taken (no seriously, it made me more nervous than the actual getting married part), I needed Nadine. Nadine is an absolute dream to work with. She is so attentive to your needs and really works her best for her clients. She did my sister's wedding, so I knew immediately after meeting her that she would need to do mine as well. In both events, she made all of us feel so comfortable and basically like the camera was not even there. She handled our families so well, so every mom felt heard and ensured that we got those "high priority" photos done. She went above and beyond for us. She traveled to Colorado from Texas. It felt like we had someone we knew and who knew us, which helped on this amazing but stressful day. That gave us a breath of fresh air. As part of her style, she blends in to catch the candid moments (which is what I wanted), and tbh I did not even see her for most of the night, but I know she was there. She is truly amazing and I feel honored to have her as my photographer. Now, we are clients for life.

JoAnn Marie Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Dayton, 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 Dayton, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with this photo and video team! I began working with the wedding coordinator, Nora, who was very informative and helpful throughout the process! My only concern was the fact that I was not able to know who my photo and video team was before a couple weeks before my wedding! As a wedding planner, I like to plan things ahead of time and make sure everybody is on the same page without questions or issues so that the day moves smoothly! Thankfully, once I received my photo & video team’s information, they were so eager to help and learn about my wedding day! Sarah, Brian, and Bobbie were the dream team! They got everything that I could’ve wanted captured on my wedding day and more! They went above and beyond to make sure that my wishes were granted, and the lighting was perfect and everything! They were really easy to work with and made sure to get the job done quickly so that we were able to thoroughly enjoy our day! We received our photos from our wedding day a few weeks ago, and we are absolutely in love with all of them! I love the organization that they put the photos in as well as adding additional photos such as candids and other photos that were captured throughout the day! When we received the wedding videos, it was like we were reliving the day all over again! So amazing to be able to rewatch the ceremony, speeches, and dances with my loved ones and reminisce! 1000% recommend!

Morgan Elise Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dayton, 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
There's nothing I could say that could convey enough how much I love and appreciate everything Morgan has done for us. I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!! Morgan manages to capture the energy of a moment in a way that every time I look at my pictures, I'm right back in that moment - which is everything I asked for and more!! From the engagement pictures and bridals to our wedding pictures, I'm so in love with everything she's delivered. Neither my (new) husband nor I are super in to photo sessions, but Morgan manages to make you so comfortable it seriously just ends up coming naturally. So many of my wedding guests and family commented on how great she was at the wedding, and how nice and funny she was as well!!! Something that cannot go unsaid is that for every shoot, I got sneak peeks almost immediately after the shoot, and the full album like the next day!!! Even our wedding was delivered just a little over a week later, and as someone who has read one too many internet horror stories of lost wedding albums, this was a god send. And at the end of the wedding night she gave me the absolute cutest little album full of all of our film pictures!!! Which, like everything else that day, made me cry!!! I can definitely say that any opportunity we get for pictures in the future - we'll be using Morgan!! The kindest soul, and so amazing at what she does!! I think I've told her directly about 3000 times, but I have to say it again - she is the absolute best!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't say enough amazing things about Jessie and Dylan. They are, without a doubt, the best wedding photographers out there. 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 Dayton, 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!

I had the pleasure of working with Brownie Photography and Production as the photographers and videographers for my wedding this Summer. From the engagement session to the day of our wedding, Ashley made us feel very comfortable around cameras and posing, which me and my now husband are normally not very good at lol. She is a tremendous delight to work with so creative, so organized and so patient. We absolutely loved our wedding portraits and the way Ashley and her team were able to capture every special detail in our very special day. She made sure we were always on track with our timeline for the day and to accommodate our wants and needs. Our wedding video was also something that we were really impressed with and so obsessed with the golden hour drone shots courtesy of Logan!
