The work we do, the memories we capture will last you a lifetime. We know that decades from now you will be flipping through your photo album or watching your wedding video; overflowing with love and joy. Knowing this is what motivates us!

From the first time we spoke with them, they demonstrated a clear and thoughtful communication style, asking all the right questions to truly understand us as a couple and the specific photos we wanted to capture on our special day.

Samantha Katalina Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,790
  • Serves Kempner, TX

I’m Samantha, an Austin-based wedding photographer and videographer capturing weddings across Texas, from Houston and San Antonio to Dallas and the small towns in between. With over 300 weddings captured over the past five years, I focus on documenting both the big moments and the quiet ones that make your day uniquely yours.

“Samantha took a vision for our wedding that we didn’t even know we had and turned it into reality. We coordinated from several states away, and she documented one of the best days of our lives so beautifully that reliving it through our gallery felt just as magical as the day itself. Booking our photographer was the hardest part of wedding planning, but finding Samantha made everything easy. We instantly fell in love with her work, and she truly delivered more than we ever expected. She worked nonstop throughout the night, captured the elegance of the venue, the chaos and love of our families, and even made the cold, windy weather fun. Samantha should absolutely be your go-to photographer! 10/10 recommend!”

Morr Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Kempner, TX

I blend digital, film, and Super 8 to create images that feel timeless and full of emotion — a balance of editorial artistry and genuine storytelling. My passion for photography began with a Polaroid camera as a child, a love for art, fashion, and history. I’ve grown into a lifelong love of preserving memories that become heirlooms. Every wedding I photograph is personal to me — it’s about honoring your story, your people, and the fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Morr Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Alyssa's communication was prompt, effective, and completely professional. Her vision and attention to detail were impeccable, and she captured all the special moments we were hoping for and so much more. As someone who doesn't always feel photogenic, Alyssa made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She has now photographed our engagement, wedding, and we're even doing our maternity photos with her this week - her talent is truly timeless and the quality of her work is simply excellent. I cannot recommend Alyssa and Morr Photography enough to any couple planning their wedding. She went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, even when our wedding planner dropped the ball on a couple of things. Her warm personality and incredible skill behind the lens make her an invaluable asset for any couple's special day.”

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Kim truly is a gem! Not only is she incredibly talented, she has perfect energy, making everyone feel comfortable and confident. My whole family loved her! We have used Kim for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. She is very attentive, reliable, professional, and you can tell she really is passionate about her work. She goes above and beyond. Our love was so beautifully captured and I am so grateful for her gifts. 100% recommend!”

Caitlin Mathews Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Kempner, TX

I have been a wedding photographer for the last 10 years between Texas and Colorado. I currently travel between both capturing weddings and events all over the country. I love wedding photography because you get to be part of a life event and capture all of those moments.

“Caitlin and her team photographed my husband and I's engagement photos and our wedding. We are from Colorado but currently live in Boston, and Caitlin went so far to schedule an entire vacation to the East Coast for our engagement session on the beach! At our wedding in Salida, the weather was NOT typical Colorado - it monsooned the entire day and was horribly overcast. Caitlin's photo editing work made the photos so beautiful that you cannot even tell the lighting was difficult. It is evident she has been spending so much time color correcting our photos from different parts of the day with different light, and the style is consistent and GORGEOUS. On our wedding day, she brought her husband for a second shooter (who was so much fun!) and a third person, a young woman looking to learn about shooting weddings. The three of them captured all of the important moments, but also the random, silly, candid ones as well! I could not be happier that we chose to book Caitlin to capture the memory of our wedding day. We will truly love these photos for life!”

She was also very efficient and didn’t waste any time during family/bridal party pictures so we were able to enjoy more of our wedding and still got amazing pictures. She did a fantastic job capturing the intimate and fun moments without ever getting in the way so we were comfortable when she was taking pictures all night.

“First off Amber is amazing. She took pictures of my niece for her birthday back in November and perfectly captured her, she is great with children. I knew I wanted to book her for my anniversary pictures, while she was doing my makeup (she does makeup and hair too which is a plus) I explained to her that I was nervous how the pictures would turn out since my boyfriend isn't very photogenic lol. She made him feel so comfortable during the photoshoot, her wife Leslie was also there and very helpful since I wanted to bring my doggo to be in a few pictures and she took great care of my Marley while Amber was working her magic with our pictures. Needless to say our pictures turned out amazing and will be something we will always cherish. I highly recommend going to Amber for all your picture needs”

Hi! My name is Josie Lane, and congratulations on your engagement! A little bit about me, I am a military spouse, registered nurse, and Christian. I love capturing weddings because there is so much love and happiness, and I think life is too short not to capture those memories. I strive to provide photos that will resonate with you for a lifetime. After having lost my mother-in-law to cancer 2 months after my wedding, I remember looking back at the last pictures of her dancing with my husband and thinking,“I would love to capture something that authentic and real. So here I am, and I am ready for you!

“Our engagement shoot with Josie Staton was everything we hoped for and more! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and somehow captured every sweet, candid moment so perfectly. Nothing felt forced or overly posed—just natural, genuine moments that truly reflect our relationship. Josie’s eye for detail and ability to capture emotion is unmatched. We’ll treasure these photos forever. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

We had Montse do our engagement pictures and Bea did our pictures for the wedding and they are both super sweet and went above and beyond with our pictures. Hector was our wedding day videographer and was super friendly with everyone. James was our DJ and I cannot say enough good things about him, he has very close attention to detail and was always double checking with us to make sure everything was perfect. The photobooth attendants were great as well. The only person that I would steer clear from is Leah, unfortunately she was part of my final planning process and she made things very stressful and difficult for me as I had to keep emailing and calling her constantly because she would not get back to me. She was also rude and unprofessional. But other than that my wedding day came out perfect and everyone that was there made it unforgettable. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
