TEXAS • BEYOND
Wedding photographers in Austin, Texas
We're a husband-and-wife photography team based in Austin, Texas. Our couples tell us having us by their side feels like home. We bring joy, deep care for what matters most to you, and a servant's heart to documentary wedding photography with editorial polish.
Your wedding day is about so much more than great photographs.
The images from your wedding day will become some of the most meaningful things you own. They'll sit on your parents' mantel, hang in your home, and one day be shown to your children and grandchildren. As wedding photographers in Austin, Texas, we think about that every time we pick up a camera. Our work isn't just about documenting what happened. It's about creating timeless, story-driven images that become heirlooms — legacy pieces that tell the real story of your day for generations to come.
We also believe that how your wedding day feels matters just as much as how it looks. You should have space in your timeline to take a breath before you walk down the aisle, to linger at sunset, to have a real conversation with the people who traveled across the country to celebrate with you. You shouldn't be rushed through one of the most important days of your life. You should be fully present for it. That's why we sit down with you to design a timeline that reflects your values and gives you space to actually enjoy your wedding day.
If you're the kind of couple who cares deeply about the details but even more about what the day actually feels like, who wants to be surrounded by people who genuinely care about your marriage, your family, and your experience, we'd love to work with you.
"You were joy and peace on our wedding day and it felt like home having you beside us."

A Look at Our Work
Documentary wedding photography with editorial polish, captured across Austin, Texas and beyond.
What it actually looks like to work with us
-
Before you ever sign a contract, we hop on a free consultation call to learn about your vision, share how we approach wedding days, and help you figure out which collection would actually serve you best. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about whether we're the right fit for each other. And if you include your phone number when you reach out, we'll send you a short video so you can see our faces and hear our voices before we ever meet.
-
From the moment you book, you'll hear from us at every stage. Not just when we need something. You'll receive our Wedding Questionnaire and a Complete Wedding Resource Guide, a 35+ page document with seven years of advice on timelines and day-of guidance. We check in at the 100-day mark and again around 60 days out to sit down with you (and your planner, coordinator, or key decision-makers) to design your timeline together. Because we believe how your day flows directly shapes how your day feels.
-
When your day arrives, we show up early, prepared, and ready to pour our hearts into every moment. Adam brings calm, steady leadership. Courtney brings genuine energy and heartfelt encouragement. Together, we create an environment where you can actually relax and be present. Our couples consistently tell us they felt taken care of in a way they didn't expect from their photographers. That's because we're not just there to take photos. We're there to serve and celebrate you wholeheartedly on one of the most important days of your life.
-
We spend real time on every single photo. That means individually retouching distractions like flyaways, clutter in the bridal suite, strangers in the background, even vents in the ceremony space. We deliver full-resolution files so you can print at any size for your home. And we never cut your gallery short to meet a quota. Your wedding day has a full story, and we believe your gallery should tell all of it.
-
We know the wait is the hardest part. So we deliver 50 to 100 sneak peeks within 48 hours of getting home. Your full gallery arrives within 6 to 8 weeks, complete with your own personal online gallery, one year of cloud storage, and access to a personal print shop that uses the highest-quality labs in the world.
“They cared as much about getting the perfect photos as we did. It really felt like they put their heart into making our photos everything we could have ever dreamed of. I can't stress this enough, I could not be happier with how our photos turned out. They actually brought tears to my eyes!”

We're The Shens
We're The Shens
We're Adam and Courtney, a husband-and-wife wedding photography team based in Austin, Texas and available for weddings anywhere. We started our business photographing weddings for friends, family, and our community in Virginia, and that foundation of service still guides everything we do today.
Seven years and countless wedding days later, what we love most about this work hasn't changed. It's the people. Getting to know each couple, earning their trust, and then showing up on one of the most important days of their life ready to serve them wholeheartedly. That's the work we were made for.
We bring different things to every wedding day. Adam is the calm, steady problem-solver who quietly leads behind the scenes so nothing ever reaches you. Courtney is the creative heartbeat, the one who will genuinely celebrate you, notice the detail no one else caught, and tear up during your vows. Together, we create an experience where you feel simultaneously at peace and fully celebrated.
We'd love to get to know you.
What Our Couples Have to Say
“They are super intentional in wanting to get to know you before your special day so that they can tailor your photos to you. It's clear that they care a lot about making your day as seamless as possible. They treat you like you are their best friends."
Grace + David"After one conversation with Adam and Courtney, I felt confident that I could trust them to capture my wedding day. They are extremely professional, personable, and might I add TALENTED!! They captured the big moments beautifully and all the little moments that I could not witness firsthand."
Kiley + Brooks
“Not only are their photos stunning and one-of-a-kind, but both Adam and Courtney make you feel like the star of the show on your wedding day. I could not have been happier with our photos and it was such a blessing we got our day captured by them!"
Amanda + Caleb
The Investment
Most of our couples invest between $6,000 and $9,800 in their wedding photography experience, depending on coverage needs and whether travel is involved. Every collection includes two photographers, a personal online gallery with one year of cloud storage, full-resolution uncompressed images, and access to your own print shop with the highest-quality labs in the world.
We don't believe in asking you to pick from a menu. When you reach out, we'll schedule a free consultation call to learn about your day, your vision, and your values, and then recommend the collection that actually fits.
We’d love to hear your story.
Tell us about your wedding day, your vision, and what matters most to you. We’ll take it from there.
