Liza was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Neither of us is comfortable in front of a camera, but within a few minutes she had us laughing and completely at ease. She gave gentle direction when we needed it and stayed in the background the rest of the time, so the day felt natural and never staged. The result is a gallery full of real moments and genuine smiles that we will treasure forever. Thank you, Liza, for capturing our day so beautifully!

We had an amazing experience with Liza. She was friendly, professional and easy to work with from start to finish. During the shoot she made everyone feel relaxed, and you can see it in the photos: natural, warm and full of life. If you are looking for a photographer, book Liza, you will not regret it.

Hi, I’m Liza — an Austin-based professional wedding photographer with 7+ years of experience and more than 300 happy clients.
I bring a calm, confident presence to your wedding day, so you can trust the process and truly enjoy every moment. I’ll guide you when needed, pay attention to the details, and help you feel natural and beautiful in front of the camera.
My experience includes everything from intimate four-person ceremonies to weddings with more than 100 guests, as well as engagement sessions, baby showers, and bachelorette parties. I’ve photographed clients from many cultures, worked in different states and weather conditions, and collaborated with an event planner in my home country.
For celebrations that require additional coverage, I also work with a trusted second photographer and videographer.
My approach blends timeless, elegant portraits with genuine, emotional moments—creating photographs that don’t just show how your wedding looked, but bring you back to exactly how it felt.
Based in Austin, Texas, and available for weddings and events throughout Texas and beyond.

Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding and event photographer who believes your special day should be lived—not worried through. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable experience where you can stay fully present with the people you love while trusting that every meaningful moment is being captured.
I have experience photographing intimate weddings with just four guests, large celebrations with more than 100 people, engagement sessions, baby showers, and bachelorette parties. I’ve worked with couples and families of different nationalities, photographed events in several states, and adapted to a variety of locations and weather conditions.
When a celebration requires additional coverage, I work with a trusted second photographer and videographer. I also previously collaborated with an event planner in my home country, which gave me a deeper understanding of wedding-day timing, organization, and teamwork between vendors.
I combine professionalism, thoughtful planning, and a warm, supportive approach. I’ll guide you when you need help with posing, organize portraits efficiently, and step back when a moment should unfold naturally. My galleries bring together genuine candid moments and beautiful, timeless portraits filled with emotion and light.
From our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery, I’m here to communicate clearly, help you feel confident, and preserve your day exactly as it felt.
