Manny was one of THE BEST vendors that I hired for my wedding! From the moment that we met at an open house, he was incredibly professional, warm and kind, and the most supportive person! I also really was drawn to his photography style, which was bright and colorful and had amazing composition. Upon hiring him, he provided the most detailed photography guide I’ve ever received with a myriad of wedding tips so I was already so impressed from the very beginning. Manny both took my bridals and did photography for our wedding. For my bridals, we were looking to do a Spanish vibe and so we planned a location in San Antonio that was colorful and vibrant. The day of, he was quick on his feet to pivot plans when our original location ended up being too crowded, and I actually ended up LOVING our second location even more. During the entire session, he had so many great ideas for poses, and also helped my mom get involved while she helped me with my dress. The shots he took blew me away! The colors, the poses, my dress, the flowers - he captured everything so perfectly! Come wedding day, Manny and his assistant were so on top of every single moment and pose - making sure that we captured all the important moments and the fun little ones in between. He had so many ideas for things to capture and helped my bridal party and family with a variety of poses. My bridal party raved how much they loved Manny and how comfortable he made everyone feel while taking photos. Wherever we were, there was Manny or his assistant making sure they got the shot. We got the sneak peeks a week later and the full set almost two months later and again, I was blown away with all the photos! From the details to the dancing, he captured so many fun and great moments that we’ll cherish forever! I promise you Manny is THE PHOTOGRAPHER you want to hire, hands down! His professionalism, talent, playful attitude, and passion for what he does will make him your favorite vendor that you’ll hire!

Hi friends!! I'm Daycia! 😊 Currently living in Houston, TX, I started photography 10 years ago when I began my travels around the world.

I started my photography business purely with my passion for photography. A friend of mine asked me to do his wedding when I was in college and I fell in love. I love the emotions, the laughter, the tears, the chemistry between people in weddings. If I am not working, you can find me hiking a mountain or kayaking in a lake with my husband. We are road trippers and we have been to 33 states of the US and 6 different countries (thankfully not by roads). I am a recycler. I am a sucker for beautiful Californian sunsets and Colorado mountains. So I love to hear about your next adventures and your pets ☺

We are wedding planners with Notably Yours Events and had the pleasure to work with Jill and her team in March at The Carriage House. When I spoke with Jill prior to the event to confirm the details, she was very easy to get along with and I loved her ideas! Being a wedding planner, we are precise of many details, and she also guided the bridal parties and families efficiently for photos. She and her team arrived early, met our team members, we reviewed the details, and she was great with communication to me to ensure I was able to complete my tasks on the wedding day also. We had a PhotoBooth with her company and the guest loved it!! Notably Yours Events highly recommends Jill and her team for your special day or event!

Houston Elopement photographer and also specializing in dog portraits since 2013. I love the outdoors and adventures with my dog Mazapan. My favorite thing about photographing elopements is being able to truly make the day about you and capturing the love between the two of you.

My husband and I sought out Jackie's photography services for our engagement photos, and we were so pleased with them we asked her to photograph our wedding as well!! Before taking our engagement photos Jackie spoke with us to understand what style of photos we wanted, and came up with brilliant ideas to make them happen. Then, while taking our photos, Jackie kept us at ease and laughing. The whole photo shoot was very natural and fun, and it definitely reflected in her photos. It is over a year later and we are still constantly looking at the engagement photos Jackie took! We were so lucky to have Jackie travel out of town, to Austin, for our big day. She was very professional and never missed a beat among the hectic of our wedding day. Jackie captured phenomenal photos of us, our friends, and our family, and went the extra mile to really capture the atmosphere and scenic backdrop of our hill country wedding. Your wedding day flies by, but with Jackie's photos I feel like I have memories of every step of it. Overall, Jackie is very passionate and talented at what she does! I am happy to recommend her to others and love seeing more of her work!

Akintayotimi Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Houston, TX

Photographers are a dime a dozen. But how many photographers are committed to the work, the art, to making sure your special event is skillfully documented and one you remember for years to come whenever you look through the photos? When choosing a photographer, you want to make sure you choose one that truly understands the art of photography, someone completely dedicated to it.

Are you thinking of using Akintayo for your wedding photography? Listen. Runnn don't walk and sign that contract! Seal that deal! You will NOT regret it. Let me tell you a story. January 2019. My love of 4 years FINALLY popped the question. The moment he asked, seriously not even 10 minutes afterwards, I messaged @akintayotimi on instagram and told him he was shooting my wedding. I didn't even have a date yet but I knew Akintayo was my photographer. Pictures have always been so important to me because of the lasting memories they provide. My photographer was my most important vendor. I chose Akintayo because he shot my best friend's wedding (I was the maid of honor) in 2018 and from start to finish, the experience was a dream! He was extremely professional yet super friendly and jovial. My friend received her pictures 3 weeks after her wedding. Yes friends, THREE WEEKS! I had seen him work. It was a no brainer for me. The pictures were so gorgeous and tasteful, I'm not going to lie I shed a few tears going through my friend's album and reliving that day. September 2019. My wedding day. So many things that could go wrong did. I had a wardrobe malfunction and I was extremely stressed. Not only is Akintayo an ace photographer, he's also a premium psychologist. He came in with such an upbeat attitude with all his cameras and by the time we finished talking, I was a happy bride again! We had such a great time that day and he posed us to perfection. When I received my pictures (again 2.5 weeks after my wedding, this man is a genius) I was stunned speechless by how awesome they were. He documented my day to perfection! I showed my mom who is super critical and she was BLOWN away! So much so that she hired him for her 60th birthday party. Since then, Akintayo has done my maternity shoot and child's birthday shoots. He's now my official family photographer! The only one I trust. So like I said in the beginning, if you're thinking of using Akintayo, think no more! Seriously, hands down the best decision I made for my wedding vendor wise.

Our goal is to tell the story of your big day! We want you to look back on these timeless photos for years to come. Our wedding shooting style is photo-journalistic meaning lots of candid photos capturing all of great moments. We love to find all of the emotional moments as well. While we shoot lots of candid throughout the day, a traditional portrait session is still shot after the wedding ceremony as well. We try to work ‘unseen’ capturing live, authentic candid moments. Staying out of your way is an important part of making this happen.

We absolutely love our wedding pictures! Matt was easy to work with, very punctual and had a fast turn around on our pictures. He captured the moment beautifully in all 3 locations (church, Rice University & reception hall)! I can't help but cry at how everything came out! Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Saul & Karo, were nothing but professional & kind. You can truly see this is their passion and they love what they do and more so they love making their couples happy. My husband & I are extremely camera shy. However, shooting with Saul we felt so at ease as Saul is great at providing direction and making you feel at ease. My husband absolutely adores our photos as do I. We have definitely found our family photographer. They are an amazing team who love what they do and love their couples. I refer them to all my friends and family.

I'm the wife to my high school main squeeze, Levi. We enjoy escaping on date nights or just chill-axing together in some peace and quiet at home when the kiddos are in bed! Hahaha. We soak every minute in when we have the opportunity to have some kid free time, lol. We have 5 kiddos and two fur babies! I am quite a dog lover! =) I also LOVE the outdoors! I have a passion for fitness, travel and exploring the beauty and wonder of creation. One other thing that is usually very obvious when you get to know me is that i'm usually always in gym attire. Except when photographing weddings of coarse.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you can just stop at this one. Mychelle is amazing. We booked her for engagements, bridal, and of course our wedding and I have absolutely no complaints. She is very professional, and at the same time super laid back and easy to work with. Very responsive and she does everything she can to make sure you are comfortable. Her turnaround time on getting pictures back to us was so fast and the pictures are amazing as well. We were married in early November 2020 and she was even nice enough to get us pictures in time to put on a Christmas card. I could not have asked for more out of a photographer. Pick Mychelle Levan Photography and you will not be disappointed.

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!

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
I saw Morgan’s work online and loved it, so she flew to Seattle to shoot our wedding. Without a doubt, one of our best wedding decisions! She was so communicative, organized, and a fun/comforting presence when we were so stressed. Neither of us are good in front of a camera, and her directions helped us out so much! We love our photos so much, and she got them back to us sooo fast! Talking a huge preview within a day and a huge gallery within a week. She is the best!

I don't have a unique photo style, I try to use them all to tell every story, and that helps me capture so many beautiful moments. I capture candid moments as well as helping the couple with their favorite portrait ones.

His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!
