About this vendor
I’m Enid Solo, a U.S. Army veteran turned photographer with more than 15 years of experience behind the lens. I now call Cypress, Texas home, where I get to spend my days doing what I love most: capturing real, heartfelt moments filled with love, joy, and authentic emotion.
I focus on surprise proposals, engagement sessions, bridal portraits, weddings, and maternity photography. From the excitement of hearing “yes,” to the celebration of your wedding day, my mission is to create images that feel warm and natural.
Photography has shown me that the most meaningful moments aren’t staged, but unfold naturally. So when you step in front of my camera, you can expect a relaxed, comfortable experience that allows your true personality to shine through.
Let’s create memories you’ll treasure for years to come!

Enid turned my wedding into an amazing movie! The quality of his vision and equipment made reliving my wedding as if I’m back on 12/21/24 all over again. My father has advanced Alz...

d him to anyone!
I recently worked with a photographer named Solo, and from my point of view, the guy might actually be part‑time Jedi. Or at least he’s got Han Solo’s charm — minus the smuggling, ...
plus a camera.
What stood out to me was how naturally funny and charismatic he was. Not in a “performing for the whole room” way, but in a way that made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and actually enjoying the whole process. He had this effortless ability to help without making it feel like help — adjusting things, offering tips, and somehow making me look far more photogenic than I usually do.
My personal verdict: if you want someone who brings good energy, keeps things light, and captures great shots while doing it, Solo’s your guy. And yes… I’d absolutely book him again. After all, never tell me the odds.
A great photographer with great pricing, I would highly recommend for anyone in the Houston area!
My Fiance and I hired Enid for our Engagement photos and we were both truly impressed. Neither of us have done professional photos before but he was able to guide us without issues...
. We kept joking that "there is no way that looked good", but somehow they all looked great. I recommend you trust the process and enjoy the results.
We used Enid for both our engagement and save-the-date photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results! My fiancé and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera...
, so we went into it feeling a little nervous but from the first moment, the entire session was so fun and relaxed and we were guided through everything with such ease.
When we got our photos back, we were blown away. Every image was stunning, the lighting, the colors, the little candid moment, everything looked so natural and effortlessly beautiful. You can see the care, talent, and attention to detail that went into every shot.
I’m so grateful to have these photos to look back on and share with our friends and family. They perfectly capture such a special time in our lives. I can’t recommend Enid enough!

rom the beginning. We got our sneak peak photos so quick and we loved them right away. His editing skills were just what we were looking for and his pricing is extremely reasonable.
My wife and I got married in December of 2024. We hired Enid Solo to photograph and video the wedding. Once we got to see the pictures and the video, we were extremely pleased with...
his work. The video captured our life like a movie and highlighted some very important moments. The ideas that Enid Solo had for the pictures, still bring my wife to tears. We could not have been anymore pleased with his work.
I had the most wonderful experience with my baby bump photos! Thank you, Enid, for making me feel beautiful and for creating such timeless memories!
I have worked with Enid numerous times over the last year or so. He has a great eye for shots he is wanting to get and uses his creativity to capture some great photos. He is alway...
