I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

Michael, Jen, Courtney and the whole team was an absolute joy to work with from the start! I’ve had the pleasure to have our engagement shoot by Michael and Jen, my wife had her boudoir shoot by Jen, and our incredible wedding shoot by Michael and Brian; each experience was smooth, simple to follow and so much fun! Courtney was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process emails, texts and walking us through our picture reveals! My wife and I have never had our pictures professionally taken and didn’t know what to expect, to say we were blown away is an understatement! We felt so comfortable throughout the whole process, looked beautiful in each shot, but what I loved the most was how perfectly Michael captured our playfulness in the most beautiful way. Everyone seeing our pictures could experience our love story just jump off the page. Truly magical

I started my career first as a photographer and social media manager for a local business. After getting thrown into the photographer world for my day job, I started my own business doing portrait sessions and, eventually, my first wedding. Fast forward six years and over 100 weddings—I’m in love!! With my couples and with running around the world chasing epic moments and beautiful sunsets. With you and for you <3 With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia honestly felt like a friend from the moment she walked in. She has this calm, kind way about her that made me forget we were even taking photos half the time. She didn’t just show up and snap pictures—she noticed little things, like fixing my veil before I walked down the aisle and making sure my hair wasn’t stuck in my earrings. Those small things made a huge difference in how relaxed I felt. She gave us just enough direction so we looked our best but never felt stiff or fake. Some of my favorite shots are the completely unplanned ones—me laughing with my bridesmaids in the dressing room, my parents hugging during the ceremony, and a photo of my husband and me sneaking away for a quick breath between dances. When we got our photos back, it didn’t feel like just a wedding gallery—it felt like reliving the whole day. Every photo has a little piece of the story, and you can tell she actually cared about capturing it right.

You are adventurous, unique, & real in every way Your wedding photos should be too. I work with fun couples who are madly in love, each unique in their own way. I don't work with models... Which means, almost every couple I photograph is not experienced in front of the camera! I understand that "posing" doesn't feel natural for a majority of people, which is why I create an environment that prompts fun movements, natural laughter, and draws out your vulnerable emotions.

We cannot recommend Lexi enough! She photographed our wedding and absolutely blew us away. From start to finish, she was kind, patient, professional, and instantly put us at ease in front of the camera. She has such a natural gift for capturing genuine moments, and our photos reflect every laugh, tear, and detail of our day. Our entire gallery is stunning. The quality, the lighting, and the candid shots are everything we hoped for and more. We’ve already had countless friends and family comment on how gorgeous they are! If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond and gives you memories you’ll treasure forever, Lexi is your girl. We are so grateful we chose her and would recommend her a thousand times over!

Beyond just taking pictures, Jaden and his wife were genuinely invested in making our wedding special—they even helped me pick out my shoes and hyped us up during our sunset shots. Their positive attitude kept the energy up throughout the day, and they paid close attention to all the small moments that made our wedding uniquely ours.

I’m a fun-loving photographer with a heart for weddings, families, and tiny humans with big personalities. I’m all about capturing real moments — the giggles, the hugs, the happy tears, and everything in between. If your session feels more like hanging out than posing, then I’m doing my job right. Let’s create images that feel joyful, natural, and totally you.

Omg. My husband (!!!!) and I went to a bridal expo and found Lauren. We walked all around the place and she was 100% our favorite photographer we spoke to. She is just so nice, so personable, and overall and super fun person to chat with. We booked her for our engagement shoot, my bridals, and obviously our wedding. Now, my husband and I don’t know how to pose or take photos like at all. Lauren though? She is so good at directing you but making it feel natural. The photos were gorgeous. Her angles and her ideas are just top notch and really come out so beautiful. There wasn’t one awkward moment, it was just laughs and fun the whole time. 100% would recommend Lauren!

Jason was able to create a relaxing atmosphere despite us both being camera shy and not used to taking photos together. He was super friendly and guided us into poses that felt comfortable for us. He was a great communicator from beginning to end, and his editing style was just what we wanted. He also delivered our photos within a week of the photoshoot.

We had the pleasure of working with Jacilyn for almost a year and a half on our wedding. When it finally came to the big day, everything came out perfectly. She was detailed through every step and helped organize things where it was easy for us to know what the next steps were. She was also so communicative with us when we texted her or scheduling calls when we needed to speak about something. My husband is a pilot so his schedule would make things difficult at times but she was always accommodating. On the wedding day, she was there every step of the way helping us decorate, keeping everything on schedule, and helping making sure we were given moments alone to ourselves to enjoy it as well. Her taste was impeccable with all the vendors she recommended and how she helped us set up our vision for decorations. We could not recommend anyone better than her as your planner as there is no one else who could be better. Nothing But Love absolutely describes how she handles every part of her business and made us feel that way as well.

  • Serves Bardwell, TX

We’re Will & Christina MacMeeken, the married team behind The MacMeekens Photography. Based in Dallas/Fort Worth and photographing weddings wherever our couples take us, we create bold, honest, documentary photographs of weddings as they actually felt. We’re drawn to the belly laughs, happy tears, packed dance floors, quiet glances, and beautifully unplanned moments. Come exactly as you are. We’ll bring two photographers, over a decade of experience, and everything we’ve got to tell the heck out of your story.

From the very first conversation we had with Christina and Will, we knew we wanted them to photograph our wedding. I had reviewed countless galleries from many photographers, and what immediately stood out about The MacMeekens was how creative, artistic, and truly unique their work is. Not every photo looks the same—each image has its own mood, color, and composition. The way they frame their shots is art. Speaking with them for the first time only solidified our decision. They brought such energy, warmth, and fun to the conversation, and I knew they would make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. After our engagement session, we had dinner together, which made the experience that much more special. Getting to know them on a personal level meant so much, especially knowing they would be documenting one of the most important days of our lives. At that dinner, Christina mentioned that sometimes they feel pressure to “play it safe” like other wedding photographers. I told her exactly why we chose them—because they are different. Their creativity, originality, and willingness to take artistic risks is what sets them apart. Beyond their talent, Christina and Will are two of the kindest, most genuine people we’ve met, and we are so thankful that this experience turned into a friendship. Another thing we appreciated is that they are with you from beginning to end on your wedding day, without stressing over hourly limits. They go above and beyond in every way. A few weeks before our wedding, Christina suggested a creative idea for our ceremony exit: since my husband works in the airline industry, she thought it would be fun to have guests throw paper airplanes as we walked back down the aisle. A week before the wedding, their family spent an entire evening folding 100 paper airplanes for us. That level of thoughtfulness still amazes us and was beyond anything we could have imagined. This week, seven weeks after our wedding, we received our full gallery—and I was in tears. The photos are absolutely stunning, and through them we were able to relive every emotion and moment of the day. We cannot recommend The MacMeekens enough. You would be doing yourself a disservice not to hire them to photograph one of the most important days of your life. Give yourself the gift of working with them—and getting to know them. Thank you, Christina and Will, for everything you did for us and for being such an incredible part of our wedding day.

Kim was amazing! She was quick to respond even when she was recovering from a surgery and we had told her no rush! We did a three tier as well as a sheet cake to ensure we had enough for our guest. Let me tell you... there was barely anything left after! The biggest hit was her lemon cake with jam filling! I informed her what felt like last minute for me but was about 2 weeks out about a heavy cake topper we had also ordered that she adapted and was able to place for us. She took the image of my Pinterest cake and made it EVEN BETTER. I don't have the professional photos back yet but this was one someone had snapped for me super quick

Based in Mckinney, Texas, I specialize in wedding photography for couples who value genuine, heartfelt storytelling. My style is bold, true-to-color, and sprinkled with a touch of moody magic—perfect for preserving those raw, emotional moments that make your love story uniquely yours. Whether it’s a tearful “I do,” a dance floor dip, or a sweet stolen glance, I’m here to freeze those moments in time so you can relive the magic over and over. I serve Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and beyond—wherever your love takes me! Let’s make some magic together. I can’t wait to tell your story!

Our wedding photos were absolutely everything we dreamed of! Shelly’s attentiveness to detail was so amazing. Our pictures will be a timeless piece of our lives that we will look back on forever! We were so blessed to have someone so talented take our photos!

Lucero was the perfect photographer for our wedding. We had a brief timeline and she executed our wishes with precision and finesse. I am so excited to get to see our album and preserve our special day with these amazing images. Thank you Lucero!
