Texas Native, JaShae’ Jackson has been loving photography since she first learned to use a camera 14 years ago.

Annie Austin Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Athens, TX

I’m Annie, a wedding photographer with a passion for capturing love stories in their most authentic and artistic forms. Based in East Texas, I focus on the intimate, unscripted moments that truly reflect your connection—the moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I believe your photos should be more than just images; they should be timeless pieces of art that transport you back to the emotions of your day. With a limited number of weddings each year, I ensure every couple receives my full attention. Available wherever your love story takes us.

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.

Courtney LaSalle Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Athens, TX

My heart has always been one of ROMANCE and all things LOVE! Emotions, Connection, and Love literally light me up inside, I truly and wholeheartedly believe between my long talks with God and my own marriage that's what brought me to working with couples - whether it’s date nights, engagements, elopements, weddings, or “just because” sessions - it is all a dream come true for me.

Courtney is by far one of the easiest photographers we have ever worked with! She was so personable, and we felt like we had known her for years. She has SO many neat ideas, and the pictures she grabs are not just photos but memories! You can look at EVERY picture and feel the emotion and it’s a moment captured forever. There’s no awkward posing/standing, but her personality is what makes her abilities shine. Her pricing was SO reasonable and is able to work with any budget! The turn around was so much sooner than I expected!

Breana Marie Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Athens, TX

The greatest gift we have ever received is time. I photograph as much of life as I can in order to preserve each of those moments as they once were. Time goes by so fast and sometimes we forget the small things, I started taking pictures because I want to be able to relive those wonderful moments as much as I could. I am learning new tricks of trade every day and experimenting with all the wonderful opportunities I am given. I travel all over the country to capture these cherished moments and love every second of it. Photography for me is a love and joy that if given the chance I can give those same moments back to you.

I highly recommend Breana's photography! Not only is the quality of her work fantastic, she delivers above and beyond what was agreed on, and so quickly I might add. Bre is professional and easy going, leading to a comfortable, laid back shoot experience, and amazing photos. I am beyond thrilled with everything I have from her, and recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect photographer fit.

I have been a professional photographer for just over nine years. I am also the mother of a handful of 9-year-old boys and an adorable little girl!

There is nothing more special than being a part of so many special events over the years for couples and families!

Curtis James Photography

I am a husband to my beautiful wife Alana, a soon to be father, and a dog dad to Leia (a border collie/blue heeler mix) and Nakoa (an Alaskan Husky). I started photography in college when a couple of friends asked me to take their senior pictures because 'I had a nice camera'. From that first photo and the first edit I fell in love. Capturing genuine expression is something that I am incredibly passionate about. When I am not holding a camera you can find me behind a desk working as a Project Engineer or out in my workshop woodworking!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband got married in June 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. Curtis was one of the biggest blessings in one of the most difficult times to plan. He was flexible and patient. He was genuinely excited for us and made us feel like a priority, which up until that point no other vendor had. He shot both our engagement photos and wedding day, and the photos were completely beautiful. The photos made me feel confident and they were flattering. He listened to what my husband and I wanted style wise from the photos and made it happen. He was easy to communicate with and we plan to use him for all our photography needs in the future. I would recommend him to anyone for their special event photo needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

My name is Jason, and I’m the owner and main photographer of Jasonbyg Photography. I’m based in Dallas, TX and have almost four years of experience with wedding, engagement, and proposal photography, and it’s been so rewarding to be a part of so many people’s special day. I would describe my photography style as documentary and timeliness. I particularly like including both candid and posed, colored and black and white photos.

Jason is one of my highly recommended preferred vendors. He's very professional but genuinely has a passion for photography and serving those he works with. His level of creativity is inspirational, and for weddings, he'll document them in ways you'd want for your own. Amongst vendors, he's built great camaraderie and can't stress enough how reliable he is. He's very communicative and easy to work with. Whether it's for wedding photography or other, you want to work with Jason!

I found Kaylyn through Instagram and immediately fell in love with her photography. She really puts a lot of work into what she does and it shows. The process of booking with her was really easy. She answered day questions we had. Throughout our engagement session and leading up to the wedding, she helped with any questions we had if she could. She was very thorough in making sure we were happy and getting all the photos we wanted the day of our wedding. And once we finally got the pictures, it was just like reliving such a beautiful moment all over again. I will cherish these pictures forever.

Hey y'all! Welcome and congrats on your engagement! I'm Aliyah, a photographer based in Texas, but available anywhere. If I'm not out shooting, you can find me listening to crime podcasts and chasing my two toddlers around. I'm a hopeless romantic and I've probably binged watched every cheesy Hallmark movie. I celebrate ALL love! I strive to make my couples feel comfortable and confident no matter what. I love to laugh and have fun so let's get this party started!

Aliyah photographed our engagement shoot and wedding in the summer of 2022. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and we love them so much!! We are truly overwhelmed by all the special moments that she captured. We were also so impressed with her turnaround time on sharing the photos, which were super easy to view and download via her online platform. But most importantly, we had so much fun working with her (and her assistant, Amani! Shout-out to Amani)! Aliyah is great to be around and made us feel totally comfortable. After our engagement shoot, it felt like she was an old friend by the time of the wedding and we were genuinely so happy to have her there. One of the best pieces of wedding advice that we have is to get a photographer that you think will mesh well with your friends and family, put you at ease with all the intense emotions of the day, and bring fun and positive energy to the party. Aliyah is all those things and more, and she has our highest recommendation.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give Amy Karp Photography 100 stars if I could! Amy is without a doubt the best wedding photographer out there! From day 1 when I inquired about her services all the way to gallery delivery, Amy was organized, professional and great to work with. She is an absolute joy to be around. Her associate shooters, equally as amazing. They made my husband and friends feel extremely comfortable and at ease during their portraits. I fully trusted them to capture our wedding weekend perfectly, but they knocked it out of the park and exceeded my expectations. If Amy is available on your wedding date, put down your deposit as fast as you can. You won’t regret it!

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. I strongly believe that the wedding day is 1000% (yes, one thousand) about you, so it is so important to me to get to know you! Getting to know personalities, style, and all the things my couples love (and don't) help us capture you best, on your BEST. DAY. EVER!

Kate Co Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. Kate is so sweet and lovely to be around, and communicated with me to answer any questions I had that put us at ease throughout the planning process and on the big day. The quality of her work is just beautiful - she has an eye for gorgeous lighting and interesting poses. Kate is also very fast and efficient, which led to us getting a lot of great shots in a short time. On the wedding day, Kate kept things moving smoothly and on track with our timeline. She directed us effortlessly through a variety of poses, making sure to capture all the special moments. We truly enjoyed working with Kate and would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a talented, professional photographer to beautifully capture their memories.

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.

Alesia was a true answered prayer for my sweetheart and I. Up to the day I got in contact with Alesia my entire wedding prep experience was miserable. Just hearing Alesia's voice on the phone calmed my heart and mind. She asked all the right questions and heard me out just days before the wedding. You can tell the moment Alesia walked into the church she had a set vision. She helped guide us for the best poses. Alesia is a kind and joyful spirit. You can't help but smile when you are working with her and we definitely look forward to working with her in the future.

If you’re after a husband-and-wife wedding photography team who’s just as excited about your wedding day as you are, we’re here for you. We bring loads of personality and passion, capturing every joyful, genuine moment perfectly. You want more than just great photos—you want to feel totally at ease with your photographers. We’ll get to know your story, your friends, and family to create a wedding experience that’s unforgettable. With us, your wedding day’s story will be beautifully showcased in photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

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!!!
