    Amazing photos

    We used Bill and Karen for photos, flowers and officiating. They were amazing, and they got every shot we asked for plus many more! All the photos were above our expectations. They were in sync with each other the entire time making sure every single shot was caught from different angles. They also did our Photo Booth which was so amazing, all while doing photos of the reception. Every time someone popped a phone out they were right behind them getting a professional photo! Every shot came out clear and beautiful. We also got our photos back super quick even before we got back from our honeymoon! I recommend this amazing family to everyone I know. We will continue to use them for any future professional photos we need! You will not regret it. If we were able to give 10 stars we would.

    Peary Photography is the best

    The peary’s were amazing during the entire process of our wedding. They were a jack of all trades they were officiant, photographer, florist and coordinator and they accomplished all that masterfully. They captured some amazing moments of our special day and even some awesome BTS photos, our bouquets were beautiful and they made us feel relaxed and calmed all our nerves and made sure our only worry was just enjoying the day.
    Thank you again Bill , Karen & Allie

    Fantabulous!

    Karen is a sweetheart and an experienced wedding officiant. She made our special day very personal and happy for us. We could not have had a better officiant.
    Bill was our photographer. He is very kind, talented, and professional with a great eye for taking beautiful photos. He made us feel at ease, told jokes and stories while capturing the right shots.
    If you hire these two for your event...you will be very well taken care of. They are kind, talented, hardworking and made our day fantastically happy!

    The best officiant and photography!

    Bill, Karen and Allie were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We happened to meet them at Chapel Dulcinea, our wedding venue, and from the very first interaction they were kind, warm and sweet.
    We ended up hiring them last minute, about 3 weeks before the wedding date, and not only were they available but super willing to work with us. We were kind of lost in the process and with their guidance we got a super customized package, ideal for our needs and it worked perfectly.
    We were a little nervous because our wedding was organized kind of last minute, but thanks to them on the wedding day it all felt like it was planned months in advance. Everything they made for us was gorgeous, from the flowers for the wedding cake to the boutonnieres.
    We could not emphasize enough how amazing Karen was as an officiant. We are a same sex couple and had a hundred requests for the officiant's speech and Karen delivered. The way she lead our ceremony was flawless, she made it emotional and special in a respectful and solemn way, we weren't expecting that, we had a tough family crowd to please and she brought tears in everybody's eyes with the way she handled every minute of it.
    Bill was just as amazing, he took care of our photography and it's funny how the entire day went by in a blink of an eye, everything was blurry at the end of the day but Bill captured every detail of it.
    We were surprised with the amount of details he captured, and now thanks to them, we can remember and keep those moments forever.
    At the end, they took care of details we didn't even think of, very impressed with their work, we couldn't recommend them enough, specially if your wedding is at Chapel Dulcinea, do not hesitate to hire them, they are the real deal.

    Amazing and stress free day!

    Bill & Karen did an amazing job on our wedding day and made everything so simple and easy!! Me and my now Wife :) we’re so confused on wedding and how everything needs to be coordinated and it was pretty daunting for us but on our actual wedding day it was a dream! Karen did an amazing job coordinating, and bill also did an amazing job making sure every moment was captured beautifully and perfect timing. I definitely recommend them, we chose the all inclusive package and they provided us a beautiful bouquet for my wife and cannot forget how Allie was also very helpful over the phone and explained me the whole process very well. Thank you Bill, Karen & Allie!

    Peary Photography LLC - Fantastic to work with

    Bill & Karen were excellent and I couldn't recommend them more. We had a medium sized wedding and I feel that it was properly captured in their lovely photos. They have great communication before, during, and after the big day which made working with them a breeze. Their upbeat/fun attitude helps keep everyone engaged and their process provides that little bit of structure to keep things on schedule.

    Brilliant in every way!

    Bill and Karen are simply amazing. They made our day so fun and effortless. Their dynamic is incredible and made us feel so comfortable from the very first moment. Our photos are gorgeous and so quick to receive them. Karen does a beautiful job with the florals, better than I could’ve imagined. They’re always responsive and answered the many questions we had along the way. We will keep working with them in the future and couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Warm and understanding

    We received the best service from Peary family. They were kind and warm and understanding about our family situation. They accommodated our needs. They were so kind and loving to our youngest son. And overall made this experience so elegant and intimate and beautiful. Just the way I imagined it would be.

    We could not be happier with our wedding. The Pearys were wonderful to work with. Communication before, day of coordination and overall energy was perfect. Our day was amazing and we were able to just be in the moment to soak it all in.

    1000% HIGHLY recommend!

    We are so incredibly happy with the work of Peary Photography (photography for engagement photoshoot, bridal photoshoot, and wedding day; videography for wedding day; coordination for wedding day).



    For the photography, from the very first meeting, it was clear that Bill Peary is passionate about his craft and incredibly skilled. He went above and beyond to ensure that every shot was perfect for our engagement and bridal photoshoots and our wedding day. The end result was a stunning collection of photographs that truly tell the story of our love and wedding.



    Bill's attention to detail, artistic eye, and ability to capture both perfect portraits and candid moments make him a truly talented photographer. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. He exceeded all my expectations, and we are forever grateful for the memories he captured for us. We will treasure the photos our whole lives!



    Not only did Bill capture stunning and beautiful photos of our special day, but he also had a very fast turn around time. We received the photos only several days after our wedding which was a pleasant surprise and allowed us to share our memories with family quickly. We especially really appreciated this fast turn around since my grandma, who was unable to attend the wedding due to her health, was able to enjoy seeing the photos before she sadly passed away only two weeks and a half after the wedding. I will always remember the smile on my grandma’s face and her joy as we showed her the stunning wedding photos.



    For the wedding videography, we also appreciated how we received the sneak peak 1 min trailer earlier than we expected, and we were able to make a suggestion for a small edit to the video upon previewing it. We were pleasantly surprised at the crisp audio quality in the video since it was a very windy day. The editing style was very cinematic and made us feel special like we were in a movie. It was great how John, the videographer, captured the entirety of important events throughout the day. At first we chose the option for just the 7-8 min highlight video, but after our wedding day we realized we really wanted to be able to re-watch the entire ceremony, first dance, toasts in their entirety. It was a relief that we had the option to upgrade our video package to include the longer documentary video with all the important events.



    For the wedding coordination, Karen Peary was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect. Not only was she incredibly organized and efficient, but she was also kind, friendly, and always willing to help with whatever we needed.



    Karen’s attention to detail was impeccable, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly on our big day. Our wedding day was bizarrely very cold at 25 deg F, and our ceremony was at the outdoor Chapel Dulcinea. Karen was so helpful, prepared with hand warmers and an extra tissue, and was supportive in checking up on how we were doing in the cold.



    We really appreciated Karen and Allie’s quick responses to our many questions before the wedding via email, and we appreciated the excel spreadsheet they sent which helped us organize the timeline and key details.



    Overall, the Peary team made our photoshoots and wedding day truly special, and we are sincerely grateful to them and highly recommend them!

    Professional, Patient & Personable

    The Peary's did an EXCELLENT job for our wedding photos! We hired them to take our photos the day of & they executed everything in such a seamless & structured way. I am a very detailed person & the Peary's gave me a run for my money with their very detailed spreadsheet, all to ensure the pictures WE wanted captured, were captured. We do not feel like any moment was missed & are so grateful for the forever memories we can look back on in these pictures. Thank you Bill & Karen for doing such a great job for us!

    Highly Recommend!

    Peary Photography went above and beyond for our big day. We could not have asked for a better experience with them. Karen did my bouquet and other florals for us and took my vision and created exactly what I had pictured. Our photos came our better than we had imagined and we loved reliving our special day through all of the photos. So many memories were made and we are so thankful we have the photos to look back on. We highly HIGHLY recommend Peary Photography for all of your wedding needs!

    If you are on the fence about booking, do yourself a favor and do so!! Our day could not have gone more perfectly. Bill and Karen were the sweetest souls and made sure every detail was perfect. We got our photos back super fast, my flowers were everything and more, and their personalities just made our day more special!

    They were wonderful!

    We had the best experience. They kept our wedding dreams alive as our wedding plans fell apart due to COVID. We felt they were on our side the entire time and helped make our alternate plans (an elopement with 6 people) the most beautiful day! Karen did a wonderful job officiating. They are extremely responsive and allowed us to customize everything exactly as we wanted. HIGHLY recommend.

    Peary Photography is the Absolute Best!

    The Peary family did an amazing job capturing our 2020 holiday family photos! I couldn't be more happy with how they turned out. Karen & Bill made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera including my 2.5 year old. I am also a wedding professional in the area and have worked with the Peary family for photography and florals. Allie is a wonderful communicator, easy to work with, organized, and takes wonderful care of my couples. From the photography end, their images are always stunning. From both a customer side and as a fellow vendor, ATX Elopements & Peary Photography is a must book. You will be thrilled to have them at your special day!

    Amazing Family Owned Business!

    My husband and I recently got married in Austin, TX. Bill and Karen officiated, did the floral, photography and even coordinated our small intimate ceremony at Chapel Dulcinea and I couldn’t be happier that we chose them! Leading up to our wedding day I was a little anxious but Karen and Bill made things go so smoothly and stress free! They work so well together and know exactly what to do to make your day perfect! On top of all this, they turned my photos around in one week!!! I’m so impressed with this family business, I can’t recommend them enough!!

    No stress at this wedding!

    Bill and Karen had so many ideas on how to take the greatest photos and capture the magic in the the moment. We got married on a Wednesday and they were very flexible with their schedules to help us. I’m in the military and wore my dress blues and bill took some incredible pictures of my uniform before I put it on and he was so delicate and treated it with such care. I really appreciated the amount of respect he had for our uniforms, dress and suits. We had my wife’s sisters baby in a lot of the photos, baby Tj. Bill was so sweet, using his hands to make funny gestures to make Tj look at him and laugh while he took the photos, Tj melted and kept trying to copy bill by pretending to take pictures with his hands. Karen was very sweet and made our ceremony 10x better than what we thought it was gonna be. My wife and I are awkward people especially when it comes to pictures, we felt so comfortable around bill and Karen. I felt so relieved that we had 2 of the best and nicest people on earth to help us with our wedding and do our photography and the ceremony!

    Beautiful Photos!

    Bill, Karen and Allie at Peary are amazing!! We used them for both engagement photos and bridal portraits and could not have been happier with our pictures. Not only are they kind and fun people, but they helped pose us in so many cute ways for our engagement photos and we LOVE how they turned out! I absolutely love my bridals too. Karen made me a beautiful bouquet, Bill brought me a glass of wine, and my parents and I had the best day with them! My bridal portrait are gorgeous and I will treasure them forever. I highly recommend Peary for wedding photography!

    I couldn't recommend Peary Photography enough. Karen and Bill made us feel very comfortable and the images were beautiful. Karen did a great job officiating in a very serene way. They kept everything moving and were very organized.
