Candids by Cunningham 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Avery, TX

I started my photography business to help others document their love story. I enjoy being a part of this important time in people's lives, and strive to get those high quality candid moments in real time so the memory can live on forever.

Candids by Cunningham was the perfect choice for my photography. From the beginning, their communication style showed a keen attention to detail and a genuine understanding of my own style and preferences. The photos they captured have incredible clarity and the pricing on all of their packages was very reasonable. On my special day, the photographer set the staging, spent extra time answering questions and making changes, and ensured everything was perfect. She is a wonderful photographer, and I would highly recommend Candids by Cunningham to anyone planning a special event or wedding. You will not be disappointed at all.

Savanna V Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Avery, TX

I’m a North Texas Wedding and Couples photographer, drawn to honest connection. My work is rooted in emotion, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that make a relationship feel like yours. I believe your photos should feel lived-in, not staged. I focus on creating a calm, comfortable experience where you can be fully present with each other, no pressure, no pretending. Couples often tell me they forget the camera is even there, and that’s exactly the point. This work matters to me because these moments don’t come back. Long after the day has passed, your images should bring you right back to how it felt, not just how it looked.

Savanna V Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the first time we spoke, Savanna was attentive, easy to talk to, and had a very sweet demeanor that put us at ease. She took the time to really listen to our vision and made us feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - the photos have a timeless, classic feel that we will cherish forever. Savanna's attention to detail and her ability to capture all the special moments of our day exceeded our expectations, and the final images were even better than the inspiration photos we had shared with her. We are thrilled with Savanna V Photography and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date.

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Justine was an incredible wedding photographer to work with. From the moment we first connected, Justine was quick to respond, friendly in their communication, and very clear about their process and what we could expect. Their work is truly top-notch - Justine is a determined, talented, and professional who captured so many special moments throughout our wedding day. She was in the right place at the right time, getting shots I didn't even realize I wanted until I saw them. Justine was also amazing during our engagement shoot, sneaking in photos at a venue we really wanted even though they didn’t allow photography. And during our ceremony, she was so patient and willing to walk (while pregnant!) to different locations to get the perfect shots. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend Justine's Images more highly.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

My name is Hannah Lylene Paul, and I am a mountain girl through and through. From a young age, I was the girl who was always very attached to the love stories told in movies, books, tv shows, etc. I was obsessed with that feeling. So of course, becoming a photographer who specializes in telling that love stories that come in all different shapes and sizes came naturally. I will direct you, and give you a space where you can be yourself in front of the camera. That way, I can capture photos that are pieces of art. Big open spaces, close up quiet moments, and everythin in between.

Super fun and easy to work with! Hannah is an amazing photographer, who not only has an artistic eye with the camera but has a good knowledge of photo editing as well! Not to mention the fact that during the photo sessions it was so so fun, and created a lot of fun new memories! The photos we received were absolutely breathtaking and just beautiful!
