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!

Mae Krell Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mae was incredibly thorough and took the time to get to know us and our vision for the day. She asked thoughtful questions and used a variety of communication methods like email, Zoom calls, and text messages to keep us informed and make the process seamless. On the day of the wedding, Mae's positive and calming presence was exactly what we needed when things didn't go exactly as planned. Her creativity and talent shone through, as she captured so many special moments we didn't even realize were happening.

A Brit from just south of London in England, I have lived in Texas since 2006, when I moved to marry my best friend. Before moving to America, I was a newspaper photographer covering local stories and sports, managed a portrait studio, and traveled the world. A lifelong photographer, I've spent an unhealthy amount of time in darkrooms developing rolls of film and learning from amazing mentors.

From the moment we first connected back in 2020 at my sister's wedding, it was clear that Philip's work was something truly special. His unique style captures not just images, but emotions and moments in a way that is both artistic and genuine. On our wedding day, Philip brought a wonderful energy that made us feel at ease. He has a remarkable ability to blend into the background while still capturing all the important moments, and having a laugh together always makes the experience amazing. The candid shots are stunning, reflecting the joy and love of the day perfectly. Each photo tells a story, and we were amazed at how he captured the little details that we had put so much thought into. Working with Philip was a joy; his professionalism, creativity, and passion for photography shone through every interaction. We love how Philip’s unique style adds a timeless quality to our photos, making them treasures we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who brings creativity, professionalism, and a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Philip Thomas. Working with him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Your wedding isn’t just an event—it’s a story, a feeling, a collection of fleeting moments that deserve to be preserved with artistry and intention. I specialize in capturing weddings with a refined documentary-meets-editorial approach, blending quiet, unscripted moments with timeless, emotive storytelling. I take on a limited number of weddings per year, ensuring every couple receives an immersive, personalized experience. My work is for those who value photography not just as documentation but as an heirloom—something that will outlive the day itself.

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.

Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings.

Danielle isn’t just an incredible photographer—she’s the kind of person you want by your side on one of the most important days of your life. She traveled all the way to Italy for our micro wedding and not only delivered stunning same-day photo previews and flawless edits, but she also became an honorary bridesmaid in the process. When we couldn’t find a stylist, she did my hair herself. She helped steam our dresses, laid my eyelashes, and was there for every little detail without hesitation. Even though we’re friends in real life, I know she brings this same heart, dedication, and creativity to all of her clients. Danielle has an incredible eye, a calm and grounding presence, and a way of making the entire photography process feel effortless and joyful. I can’t imagine having had anyone else there.

I'm Stephanie Renae, you can call me Steph :) I was born and raised in Miami, FL and most of my family still resides in Colombia. I will never say no to a coffee date, or a cookie date... or anything that gets us talking and laughing. Whenever I look over my bedside table and see my partner and I hugging, brimming from cheek to cheek in our couples "Ron Swanson & Hamburger" costume for Halloween, all the laughter and jokes come rushing back in. It feels supernatural, the closest thing we have to teleportation. & this is why I feel so incredibly honored to give this little piece of magic to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiance and I have never had pictures before, except those awkward family photos most people had growing up. Stephanie and I met virtually after I saw her work and immediately I felt comfortable, seen, validated, and most of all...I trusted her. She seemed confident in taking pictures to capture a date (as she lovingly put it.."act as though it's a normal date but you have paparazzi") and made us feel comfortable-we didn't have to put on a show to get amazing pictures. Upon meeting at Enchanted Rock, she gave us a sweet speech about acting like she wasn't there unless she gave us directives- my fiance loved the directives, he's good at following those- and every single picture made it clear why she is pursuing a career in photography. There were even times when Stephanie would step back after a picture and smile, like she KNEW she had taken a great photograph. We are so excited to have these hanging in our home soon as we start building a "how it started and how it's going wall" in our home. When pictures are wanted in the future, I know who I am going to call-and you should too! Thanks again Stephanie, for the pictures, but also for bringing your laugh, business mindset, friendliness, and compassion to picture day. P.S.: if I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would.

Wedding photography is so much more than snapping a few frames. It's about being a part of the experience, making connections, and meeting new people. Whether it's laughter, joy, or romance, there is nothing better than being able to show what a couple's love is all about through images. I care about the moments first and foremost. Let's create some magic, make memories, and have an experience that you won't soon forget!

John did an absolutely spectacular job at our March 2025 wedding! We didn't want generic & washed out photos or a ton of inorganic and stiff photos either. Ultimately, he was everything we had hoped for and more. He is professional and talented. He matched the energy of our wedding and by the end of the night he truly felt like a member of our family! The days after the wedding, multiple family and friends who attended specifically told me how much they liked him and how comfortable he made them feel- and that was before they had even seen any of his photos! He took stunning, vibrant, and unique shots of the wedding party, our venue, and our guests. He captured our personalities and took candid shots from angles and perspectives I never would have thought of. He was super available for any questions we had leading up to the wedding. We listened to his advice and I'm so glad that we trusted his expertise. He was extremely timely as well- he texted me a sneak peek of some photos literally the day after our wedding and he delivered all the official photos less than a month after the wedding. I don't mean to be dramatic, but if you're considering him for your photographer but he's unavailable for your wedding, maybe consider rescheduling your wedding date? Just a suggestion...

From the moment we first spoke with Ari from Theel Productions, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding. Ari has a warm, friendly, and cheerful communication style that instantly put us at ease. She is an expert at what she does, and her talent was evident in the way she authentically captured every special moment during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. We truly felt so special to work with Ari - she is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, timely, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I could not recommend Theel Productions enough to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding photographer.
