My name is Taylor & I am a photographer based out of Waco, Texas - but traveling all over! My favorite thing about couples and wedding photography is getting to capture people in their element, saving those small moments forever.

I have had the honor of working with Taylor several times and each time she was been so easy to communicate with, fun to work with, and has sent amazing galleries! Leading up to the day, I was able to easily communicate my ideas and would always receive positive feedback in return! On the actual day, she is a ball of positivity, and so fun to work with. She keeps the energy levels high, and keeps a positive attitude! Her shooting and editing style is so unique to her and the results are always stunning!!

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

We hired Kendra as our wedding photographer last summer and had a wonderful experience. We specifically were looking for a documentary-style wedding photographer, so we got a bunch of great candids of us and our family. We also got great portraits and family photos, so best of both worlds! The film photos turned out spectacular :) She went above and beyond from the start, helping us sketch out the day's schedule so we knew how/when she would be helping us. During the day she was super on top of things, and made us feel comfortable when taking photos (we don't take a ton of photos so this was super nice!). We had some specific small decorations/moments we wanted to make sure she captured and she did a great job of that without having to talk about it on the day of. We got a quick sneak peek in less than a week, and a full brilliant set of 800 photos in a couple months!

Jessie Schultz Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (28 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Valley Mills, TX

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
If you’re reading this, stop what you’re doing and book Dylan and Jessie right now. I’m not kidding—don’t call anyone else, don’t compare prices, don’t waste another second scrolling. Just do yourself the favor. You will thank yourself for the rest of your life. From our very first conversation with them, we could feel their warmth, professionalism, and excitement. But nothing prepared us for how essential they would become on our wedding day. Jessie is a superhuman. She is the rare combination of photographer, coordinator, timekeeper, problem-solver, and emotional support system all in one. She kept the day moving with absolute precision while making sure we never felt rushed. She stepped in exactly when needed—fixing timelines, adjusting details, giving direction, soothing nerves, and grounding chaos. She saw every small thing before we even realized it needed attention. Our wedding day would not have run the way it did without her. Full stop. And Dylan? Pure magic. His calm presence balanced the energy of the day perfectly. His eye for composition and emotion is unreal. He captures beauty quietly and effortlessly—with no pressure, no posing that feels forced, no awkwardness. Just authenticity. Together, they are the definition of a dream team. And THE PHOTOS… I’m tearing up writing this because they captured everything. Not just the big moments you expect, but: • the tiny glances no one else noticed • the chaotic, funny, ridiculous moments that made the day ours • the emotional in-between moments that we didn’t even realize were happening • the details we worked so hard on • the spontaneous ideas we threw at them • the last-minute changes they just rolled with • the JOY, the movement, the energy, the love They followed every wild whim we had. We’d say, “Can we try this?” and they were already three steps ahead, making it better than we imagined. Their creativity, patience, and intuition shaped the flow of our entire day. But here is what makes them once-in-a-lifetime: They put their hearts into this. You can feel it. They cared deeply—about us, about our experience, about our families, about our memories. By the end of the night, they felt like people we had known forever. We didn’t just get photographers—we gained two lifelong friends. Hiring Dylan and Jessie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Truly. They gave us a gallery we will cherish for the rest of our lives and the kind of support you could never put a price on. If Google would let me, I’d give them 500 stars. Actually, I’d give them the whole galaxy. Book them now. Don’t hesitate. Don’t think twice. They are the best of the best.

Tyler Gets Weird

  • Serves Valley Mills, TX

After getting out of the Marine Corps and photographing weddings for a larger "big box" company, I decided I wanted my own brand that really connects and cares about the couples I work with. And here we are 4 years later. I am a very "unprofessional professional". I love to have a good time and I embrace weirdness (will do your wedding for free if you're wearing all denim) but at the same time I also am very Type A; I love a good spreadsheet, I'm punctual, logistically minded, extremely detail oriented, and I will always advocate and/or problem solve for my couples on wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t speak highly enough about Tyler! The photos and wedding video he created are nothing short of incredible—every moment, big and small, was captured beautifully. We feel like we’re reliving the magic of our wedding day every time we look at them. Tyler has a gift for finding the candid moments that make the day uniquely personal, and we’ll treasure his work forever. But what makes Tyler truly stand out is his personality. From the start, he brought such a fun and light energy to everything, especially during our over-the-top engagement shoot! He made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, guiding us through it with a positive attitude and ensuring we felt comfortable no matter how big our ideas got. It was clear that Tyler wasn’t just there to take photos—he was there to help make the experience memorable and fun. Beyond his incredible talent, Tyler provided so much support throughout the entire wedding process. After losing my dad just a few months before, I was unsure how to plan a day without him. Tyler went above and beyond, helping us find creative and meaningful ways to honor my dad. He was a guiding force not just for us, but in helping coordinate with other vendors as well. He wears many hats, and on the wedding day, he was truly irreplaceable. Along with our day-of planner, Tyler kept everything on track, made the day fun, and eased the emotional weight of such a charged day. We’ve never laughed more than we did with Tyler! Our family and friends still talk about how amazing he was. His hilarious and positive personality made everyone feel at ease and brought so much joy to the day. He became more than a photographer—he became a friend who helped shape one of the most important days of our lives. Tyler, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such an integral part of our wedding. Your energy, creativity, and kindness made all the difference. We’ll forever treasure the memories and moments you captured, and we’re endlessly grateful for the joy you brought to our day. With endless gratitude!! The Meurys

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Rae took the time to truly understand what my husband and I wanted, and helped us create a timeline that was as relaxed as we had hoped. On our wedding day, Rae's compassionate and fun presence made it easy for us to forget the camera was even there, allowing her to capture the most beautiful, richly colored, and candid moments. The final photos were amazingly edited, showcasing the inclusive way Rae documented our special day. We are thrilled with the results and are so grateful to have had Rae as part of our wedding journey.

Hey, I'm Annie. I'm a film + digital wedding photographer based in Texas. I do this for the generations to come. For the little girls, just as I once was, sitting on the carpet flipping through their grandma's and mothers wedding photos and dreaming of a love story such as theirs. I take a documentary meet's editorial approach. Leaving space for emotions to evolve when the moment calls and stepping in to gently guide when needed. No two weddings should ever look like they could belong to anyone but the couple themselves and I stand by that. This truly is my creative passion.

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).

What can I say? Monica is a breathe or fresh air in the photography industry. She will absolutely nail your ideas and photos and take them to the.next level. She is fun and passionate and kind, I can’t recommend her enough. We will love our Disney photos forever.

Hey, thanks SO much for being here! I am honored you are checking out my page. I became a full time wedding photographer after realizing my connection to capturing love stories. I value connection, transparency, and having a fun time with my couples!

Tia is the best! We had so much fun with her on our wedding day! She understood that we wanted to get as many of the formal photos done pre ceremony so we could get to the actual party after. She captured some amazing images that I will treasure forever, and it’s only been a week so I’ve only seen the sneak peeks, there are still more to come! She was professional and thorough, we had a few calls prior to the big day to go over details and make sure we were all on the same page. Your photographer is the person you will send the most time with on your wedding day, so pick someone fun to be around! Tia is that person!

Hiya! I'm Tess, an Austin-based photographer with 10+ years of experience telling the stories of my community through photography. I love weddings of all sizes, from adventurous elopements to grand celebrations. My photojournalism background influences my documentarian style, which captures the natural joy and energy of weddings without forced poses. I help my couples feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera just as they are.

It was an absolute joy to work with Tess (and her second shooter, Sophie) for our wedding! It was important to me to pick a photographer whose style captures true-to-life colors and the emotions of the moment, and her photographs absolutely delivered. Plus, she was punctual, organized, good at communication and planning, and everything you want out of a wedding vendor to help the day go smoothly.

We can’t say enough good things about them! From the start, they felt like part of the crew, super chill, easy to work with, and just fun to be around. On the big day, they somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling like they were in the way. They caught all the laughs, happy tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. And when we saw the photos/video? Absolutely blown away. It’s like they bottled up the whole feeling of the day, and now we get to relive it forever.

BOOKING OPENS DECEMBER! Hello! My name is Dara and my goal is to make your photo dreams come true! I am all about capturing you and your partner in the most loving and natural way possible. I want you guys to be able to look at your photos and remember how you felt, not just like how you looked. My style is both candid and posed. Both photojournalistic and at times editorial.

Dara Espinoza Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Dara was so great about always making sure I was comfortable and was getting everything I wanted. All of the pictures turned out PERFECT! We talked a lot several weeks before the big day to go over what will work best and she was very flexible to make anything work. She had everything I wanted documented so she was able to guide the day along in a way so I didn't have to stress at all about coordinating - I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day! Dara did our engagement photos, my boudoir photos, our wedding day, and interviewed our family and friends for the wedding video! Her rates and deals are unbeatable and she went above and beyond to make everything perfect and stress-free for us.
