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.

Bill's TV journalist parents moved from NYC to central Alabama and raised him with his 2 brothers. After high school, Bill moved to Destin, Florida and lived 12 wonderful "beach life" years. Bill and Karen met in FL, when she was on vacation... and after a short, long distance relationship, they were married. Bill moved to Dallas, and then to Austin. He grew up around cameras, so wedding photography came naturally. After a few years of part time photography, he went full time in 2007. They live in Southwest Austin. On weekdays, you might find us in the Texas Wine country, at one of our 3 daughters homes in Bee Caves or in our pool taking it easy!
