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!!!

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.

Unposed, authentic and raw storytelling. I’m there for church weddings or a 5 mile hike up your favorite mountain. I see your vision and capture your day in all the real emotion that it is. Wedding photography is about remembering the season and everything that it meant to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
She creates such a wonderful environment to just sit and relax in. Never did I feel uncomfortable, weird or judged. Each pose, shot or location felt like a new memory being made and it gets captured through the lens . All the laughs, the tears, and the wonderful experience and moments documented. Never pushy but always eager to try something new. And when you see those photos, just wow. Truly an eye for detail, posing, and color.

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!

Erica Bonorden Photography

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

Erica has a fun, open, and easy communication style that makes it a pleasure to work together. The quality of their work is top-notch, with fast turnaround and consistently high-level results. It's a lot of fun working with Erica, and she does a great job of helping her clients feel comfortable throughout the process.

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

  • 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.

I’m so glad we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Both photographers and videographer were awesome. Booking was easy and I love their online portal – they asked all the right questions and made sure everyone was on the same page with the vision for the day. We were able to have a planning call to “meet” our lead photographer, Carly, before the wedding day. I really appreciated that so we could go over some details and feel a little bit more comfortable going into the big day (husband and I are not huge picture people). Carly and team were right on time and I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable they made us feel and how hard they worked to make sure we got every shot that we wanted. It rained on our wedding day so there were some pictures I was disappointed about not getting, but Carly got out her phone and was tracking the weather so we could take advantage of every single break in the rain – even if it was only a couple minutes! We ended up getting every picture that I wanted and I’m so grateful! We got our picture gallery back ahead of what was stated in the contract and it’s everything we hoped for. The color is exactly what we chose (we went with the “Timeless” edit. Despite the rain they managed to capture every location on the property and it looks absolutely beautiful. We had an awesome experience, and I highly recommend them. Thank you for being a part of our favorite day!

Awarded Best of Zola
George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

Morgan Elise Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,850
  • 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!!!

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.

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.
