17 of the Best Texas Wedding Photographers

1. Amy Karp Photography

Photography style: Timeless editorial

Good for: Couples who want a photographer who’s been in the biz for almost 20 years

Review: “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 are 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!”

2. Laning Photography

Photography style: Editorial documentary

Good for: Couples dreaming of timeless photos that will never go out of style

Review: “Hannah and Nick are not only the best wedding photographers but some of the most kind people! They were easy to work with from start to finish! They were communicative and extremely detailed. Our wedding planner recommended Laning Photography to us, and it was a no-brainer after seeing the work they do! Our photos turned out incredible and were exactly what we wanted! We got our sneak peeks literally the next day, and we were totally obsessed (and once we got our whole album, we were even more obsessed)! If you’re looking for two cool people to shoot your wedding/event, Nick and Hannah are them. We felt so comfortable with them shooting our wedding, and wish we could relive it again! Thank you, Laning Photography, for creating long-lasting memories!”

3.  Erin Marcin Photography

Photography style: Refined documentary

Good for: Couples who are always up for an adventure

Review: “Erin is amazing. My wedding would not have been the same without her. We love her, not just as a photographer but a person as well.”

4. Mandi Roach Photography

Photography style: Timeless editorial

Good for: Couples who want the unscripted, in-between moments captured

Review: “Working with Mandi was the BEST investment my husband and I made for our wedding. We had our photographer fall through at the last minute, and Mandi took us in, and my oh MY, do I now believe everything happens for a reason! Not only is she the most kind, attentive, passionate, and fun photographer I have ever met, but she also has a beautiful eye and talent for creating magic and making the moments come to life via pictures. There are so many moments that are quickly forgotten during the craziness of a wedding day, and being able to comb through her art and relive those moments is so tender and so treasured by myself, my family, and my friends. I recommend Mandi for every event and moment in life that you want photos of. Everything she touches turns to gold and truly makes you feel like you’re in Vogue!”

5. Courtney LaSalle Photography

Photography style: Natural storytelling

Good for: Couples that want their photos to have a playful feel

Review: “Courtney was amazing with our wedding photos. She made amazing accommodations for us and delivered sneak peeks and our entire album in an incredible time. I never imagined our albums would be so big, but Courtney captures every perfect moment, even the little ones. She always produced more photos than I ever thought I would receive. This woman is a complete sweetheart and knows how to make every session unique and comfortable. I would 100 percent work with her again and recommend her to anyone who listens.”

6. Alexandra White Photo

Photography style: Timeless documentary

Good for: Couples who are afraid to be in front of the camera

Review: “Alexandra did both our engagement and wedding photos. Both times she was great to work with—very communicative and open to giving us great direction to get the best photos. We had a very small micro-wedding at a family member’s house, and she was great about giving us an hourly rate (as opposed to buying a full-day package). I was afraid that we’d look awkward and stilted in a lot of our photos (just because of who we are as people), but she got so many great candid shots where you can tell how happy we are. We also had some animal guests that Alexandra was excellent with—she got some super cute shots of just the dogs and horses. We love the photos we got back and would recommend Alexandra to anyone!”

7. The Ramseys Photography

Photography style: Realistic documentary

Good for: Couples who don’t want a wedding album full of awkward poses

Review: “Where to even begin?! Having Wil and Paige photograph our wedding, our engagement shoot, and my bridal portraits was the best decision we’ve ever made. They were so fun to work with, professional, and made everything so easy. Plus, the photos are stunning. Works of art. We are so excited to have them photograph everything else we do for the rest of the time and are so lucky to call them not only our photographers but also our friends! Cannot thank them enough.”

8. Leah Turney Photography

Photography style: Documentary editorial

Good for: The eternal romantics who want their photographer with them throughout the entire planning process

Review: “Leah was amazing! We requested to take our couple photos at a national park before the wedding, and she immediately embraced the idea and all of the logistics that came along with it. My husband and I consider ourselves not to be photogenic people, so we were really worried about our photos looking awkward or too posed. But Leah truly made us feel at ease and comfortable when taking photos, and we absolutely love all of the photos that we have seen so far! She even brought two film cameras during our photo session which I have not seen photographers do before. Overall, Leah was kind and genuine and truly made us feel special on our wedding day! She even went out of her way to capture some special moments for us which we are so grateful for.”

9. Kayla Jane Photography

Photography style: Natural editorial

Good for: Couples who want a photographer who doesn’t take themselves too seriously

Review: “We had the pleasure of working with Kayla Jane Photography for our wedding photos. Grace was our photographer, and she was fantastic. Communication leading up to the big day was prompt and straightforward. On the wedding day, Grace was extremely flexible when our schedule changed unexpectedly during the reception. She kindly accommodated all of our requested shots. Grace chose beautiful locations for our photos and let us pull in friends and family for impromptu pictures, capturing many special moments. Her warm demeanor kept everyone at ease while posing for photos. The results aren’t back yet, but we’re very excited to see them, knowing that Grace worked hard to document all aspects of our special day in her signature artistic style. We wholeheartedly recommend Kayla Jane Photography!”

10. Brownie Photography & Production

Photography style: Photojournalism

Good for: Couples who seek beauty in everything and are looking for something different

Review: “Ashley was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable during my bridal portraits, and my now husband and I had so much fun during our engagement pictures! The pictures we got back from our wedding came out better than we could have imagined. She worked great alongside our videographer and was super professional. Communication was always on point, which is very important for a vendor when your wedding planning, so keep that in mind! If you’re debating booking Brownie Photography, DO IT!”

11. Ama by Aisha

Photography style: Modern photojournalism

Good for: Couples who want gorgeous wedding photos and a beautiful wedding video

Review: From the very first interaction with Ama by Aisha, I was very impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism, but this team is so much more than that. Aisha and Claudia are both so incredibly artistic and talented . Every picture we got was captured authentically and emotionally. Both our engagement shoot and wedding day were so much fun! We felt comfortable with our photographers and trusted the creative process, even if posing felt a bit awkward at first. I cannot recommend Aisha and her team enough, wherever you are getting married!

12. Elisa Lopez Photography

Photography style: Candid documentary

Good for: Couples who want a photographer who’s going to narrate your day the way you want

Review: “We knew we wanted a wedding that was colorful and bright, and it was important for us to find a photographer who would honor those decisions. And Elisa definitely did! She and her assistant were on time, around, and posed us when needed, but otherwise unseen and captured the best candids throughout the day. We received our photos promptly and have been enjoying them with our family and friends. We also used Elisa for our South Congress engagement photos. We knew from that photo shoot we picked the right photographer for us, and we will definitely use her again in the future!”

13. Anna Claire Beasley Photography

Photography style: Documentary with a focus on nostalgia

Good for: Couples who want their photos to transport them right back to their big day 50 years from now

Review: “We seriously cannot recommend Anna Claire enough. We were drawn to her because of her incredible skill and her selfless support of our ideas. She weaves flexibility into her schedule in order to host adventure sessions for her clients at some of the most beautiful locations in the country, which allows for an extremely fun and personal experience while capturing engagement photos or portraits with your partner. She also supported us in our decision to have an unconventional wedding, and she helped capture it through her great dedication and thoughtfulness as a photographer. She is professional but also ridiculously fun and she did whatever it took to take care of us throughout the whole experience, from wedding advice to shared conversation over a meal of breakfast burritos to carrying six different cameras on our wedding day. The photos are honest, beautiful, and romantic, and they are more than anything we imagined. Choosing Anna Claire as a photographer was easily the best decision we made for our intimate wedding, aside from choosing to marry each other (obviously). We cannot recommend her enough, truly!”

14. Breathless Wedding Chronicles

Photography style: Artistic documentary

Good for: Couples toying around with a destination wedding

Review: “Gab and Chris did a fantastic job shooting our wedding. They were able to both accommodate our style preferences and propose ideas for photos that were fun and creative. They are so friendly and invested a lot of time in getting to know us and our preferences before our wedding and welcome party. We were so happy with how the photos from our wedding turned out and with the first look that they planned and shot for us. They took some iconic photos of us and our friends and family that we will treasure forever.”

15. Philip Thomas Photography

Photography style: Documentary storytelling

Good for: Couples that want to avoid wedding photography cliches

Review: “I cannot recommend Philip enough! My husband and I are not people who love taking pictures, but Philip made us instantly feel comfortable! He captured every little moment from our wedding that we will cherish forever. Not only were the candid photos amazing, but the group photos/staged pictures were incredible! Philip is so kind and fun. He made a very daunting process feel like a breeze. He even sent our wedding photos earlier than we expected. Hire him, you won’t regret it!”

16. John David Weddings

Photography style: Romantic storytelling

Good for: Couples that want photos that look like they belong in a magazine

Review: “First and foremost, JD is an artist, and his collection of work is truly fine art. When I worked in the wedding industry, I would frequently recommend JD to my clients because of his personality and aesthetic. I’d tell my couples that there are many wonderful photographers out there, but choosing a photographer that you vibe with, is kind to your wedding party, and isn’t a diva is IMPORTANT! 6 years later, and it was finally my turn to hire JD for my engagement shoot and our destination wedding in New Orleans, and while I knew he would knock it out of the park, he far exceeded my hopes and dreams.”

17. Gloria Goode Photography

Photography style: Photojournalism

Good for: Those who want a wedding photographer and a best friend

Review: “The. Best. Photographer. Ever. I have so much to say about Gloria. She really made my dreams come true! First of all, she is just great and so personable. Everyone loved her. My partner wasn’t excited about pictures, but she made it SO easy and fun. She took my ideas and ran with them and had even better ideas of her own. She worked so well with other vendors (film, planner, etc.) She captured candid pictures like no other. I could go on and on… but just look at her work!!! I would get divorced and remarried all over again just to work with her.”
