A Documentary Wedding Photographer in Austin, Waco & DFW
I’m Anna — a Texas-based documentary wedding photographer serving Austin, Waco, and the DFW area. I believe your wedding photos should feel like your day felt — emotional, grounded, and honest — not staged or forced into perfection.
There’s so much pressure surrounding weddings — to stay on schedule, do things “the right way,” and make everything look perfect and effortless. Somewhere along the way, it can start to feel like you’re performing instead of simply being.
That’s the last thing I want for the couples I work with — or any couple for that matter.
Your wedding day doesn’t need to be perfect to be meaningful.
Some of the most beautiful moments I’ve photographed weren’t planned one bit. The moments that feel like pure perfection to me live in the emotion — the loved ones you were so thankful could be there, the quiet looks you give each other, your maid of honor with tears of joy as you walk down the aisle.
They’re the moments that happen when you stop worrying about what’s next and fully settle into the present. When you allow yourself to be there.
That’s the space I love to photograph.
My approach to documentary wedding photography in Texas is gentle and intentional. I don’t rush moments or force emotion. I give you room to breathe, to feel, and to be fully present with each other — because when you are, your photos naturally become honest and timeless. Not polished for the sake of perfection, but real in the way that matters most.
If something runs late, if the weather changes, if emotions spill over — none of that takes away from your story. In fact, those moments make your story yours. They’re the moments you’ll cherish years from now. They hold truth. They hold feeling. They hold you.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding in Austin, a heartfelt celebration in Waco, or a classic gathering in DFW, your day deserves to be documented with care. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when a moment deserves to unfold on its own. You never have to worry about doing things “right” in front of my camera — you only have to show up and love each other the way you already do.
Years from now, when you revisit your photos, my hope is that you don’t just remember how your wedding looked — but how it felt. That the warmth, the joy, the nerves, and the calm all come rushing back to you.
That’s the kind of presence that lasts.
That’s the kind of perfection I believe in.
