Deirdre of Lo and Behold Photography is an absolute dream! She helped my fiancé and I plan the perfect "popup wedding" in Fort Davis, Texas. We knew that we wanted a short engage...
ment and a small wedding in a naturally beautiful location. She enabled us to have all that we hoped for and more and produced absolutely stunning photographs that we will always treasure. Not only did she provide all that is included in her standard popup wedding package, she helped us source other vendors who also went above and beyond. The day of the wedding was so relaxed and flowed beautifully; I felt like I could truly be a "guest" at the celebration. If you're thinking about working with Deirdre and doing a West Texas popup wedding, stop thinking and just do it! You will be extremely happy with your choice.
Deirdre is a miracle. What we thought was going to be a small elopement in Big Bend spiraled into a micro wedding as soon as the word got out to a few people. We asked her to come ...
take photos originally, but her prices so were great and she was so helpful that we went for the full, inclusive pop-up. The vintage trailer, cake, drinks, and everything else she provided gave it an edge that we hadn't anticipated and our friends and family loved. Plus, her photos, both candid and posed, caught our best moments. I wish I could fully express how much of a positive difference she made in our day. We feel really lucky we found her and eternally grateful.
There's not enough good things to say about Deirdre and Lo and Behold. The quality of her images are incredible (and better than some of her much-pricier competitors), her responsi...
veness and professionalism is top-notch, and she was incredibly easy to work with. She even gave us small tips day of to make our wedding photos even better. I'm so grateful and glad to have Lo and Behold as my wedding photographer and would happily recommend again and again.
Deirdre was awesome! She was able to shoot our elopement in Marfa with short notice, and the pictures were beautiful! She captured our day with some lovely sunrise ceremony shots a...
nd creative portraits around town. She was so nice and communicative throughout the whole process, and we feel so lucky we found her to shoot our special day! Thanks Deirdre!
I simply cannot express how wonderful Deirdre is as a photographer and person! She is a true artist and professional. We were married in Marfa, but we live in Austin. We knew we wa...
nted someone local to the area and I am so thrilled we found her. She was a joy to interact with while I was booking and coordinating the wedding and kept us on track to ensure she got every wonderful moment for us to remember. Then I got the sneak peek (before we even got home from the long weekend) and was blown away! Her work was so lively, intimate, and well thought out. I highly recommend Deirdre!
I'm going to start by saying I hate getting my picture taken in any situation. Deirdre was able to make me feel comfortable and actually enjoy getting photographed. A great photogr...
apher and a great person to be around! 11/10
We decided to have an elopement style destination ceremony in Big Bend National Park. Having quality photos was one of the few things I cared about for my wedding, (besides my groo...
m obviously) so I was very anxious about finding a great photographer in a place where I didn't know anybody. I still can't believe how amazing Deirdre was! She met and exceeded all my expectations and was a joy to work with. We only had family present and Deirdre fit right in! She made us feel so comfortable and really captured the essence of the day. I'm beyond happy with how everything turned out, and so thankful I chose Lo and Behold Photography!
Our photos are absolutely amazing! We are beyond happy. Deirdre was so great-she captured our day as well as our personalities. We had so much fun, and she had some great ideas ...
for places for pictures--since we are from east Texas that helped so much! We didn't have to think about anything in regards to our pictures. We had a small elopement-type ceremony, and she really made our day special.
Deirdre Hanlon-Jones is as much a professional as she is an artist. The Lo and Behold wedding website is user-friendly and allows you to describe the big day and add notes of speci...
al moments you want captured. It offers various wedding packages, each with an itemized list of services. Once a decision is made, Deidre is available for any follow-up requests or questions. She even accommodated a complete wedding venue change for the bride and groom. Deirdre met with the bride and groom a couple of days before the wedding to prepare a plan be in three places at once. She created a detailed list of all the photographs to be captured at the ceremony to streamline the process. On the day of the ceremony, she followed the wedding party all over West Texas. She captured the bride getting ready in Alpine, Texas, the groom getting ready in Terlingua, the ceremony at Santa Elena Canyon and the reception in Terlingua. She even squeezed in a photoshoot of the wedding party departing the ceremony on motorcycles. She stayed the duration of the reception (it was a long one with many speeches) until the bride and groom departed. All the guests commented on the great job she did. Out of all the weddings they have attended, they had never seen a photographer work so hard. Her husband, David, did a great job assisting Deirdre with the shots. Deirdre and David are a pleasure to work with. Deirdre's kind demeanor has a calming effect during stressful moments. Every picture she takes is a masterpiece. She captures everything from the water bottles for the guests to the big kiss. She makes sure you look your best on the best day of your life. When the bride looks at the wedding pictures, her smile is as big as the one from that day. The wedding was far from home so a lot of family and friends could not attend but thankfully they have such amazing pictures to share. A picture's worth a thousand words so go check out her work after you read this review!
We booked our engagement session with Lo and Behold Photography in March of 2018. She was able to fit us in within a week and was able to help us plan the best locations around Ma...
rfa to take our pictures. We really didn't know what to expect from our engagement photos, we just knew we wanted something that would actually capture who we were as a couple and Deirdre was able to do it beautifully. We can't say enough positive things about her work. She took her whole day (a couple hours in the morning then ~3:00 pm until 11:00 pm) and graciously met up with us in two different locations to take pictures. Our one request was a photo with the starlit sky behind us - and she was able to capture it! Her photos capture the landscape so wonderfully and we loved every single one of the photos she took of us. If you're looking for something more in your photos, she's the one to hire!

Booking Deirdre to be our photographer was the best decision we made! Everything after booking her fell perfectly into place. She coordinated our entire pop-up wedding/elopement a...
nd we are still in awe over how stress-free it all was! Every thoughtful detail shows through the photographs. And these photos..wow! Deirdre captured the magical landscape of West Texas. She even made my husband and I look damn good too!
Deirdre was amazing!! She came out to the Big Bend National Park for us. It was all a surprise to me and I am so happy she was there to capture that moment for my fiance and I. She...
has a great eye for photography. I can't decide which photo is my favorite.
Deirdre is professional, personable, and best of all a great photographer! I was very nervous because I tend to make awkward faces in photos, but Deirdre was great at directing us ...
and I LOVED all of our photos. Not to mention her rates are competitive, she's super responsive, and a calm reassuring presence on a very nerve-wracking day. Highly recommended!
We got some couples portraits taken recently on a trip to Marfa and Deirdre made us both feel very comfortable the whole time. Posing for a photographer in a field can feel awkward...
and forced, but she made everything seem natural and fun. We had a great time shooting with Deirdre and are very happy with our portraits!
Our wedding day was the best day of my life thus far, and Deirdre did an amazing job capturing it. A few days after the wedding, we found ourselves worrying that we would forget al...
l the incredible details of that day. Then Deirdre sent us our sneak peak and all those memories came back. She worked tirelessly the entire time and gave great direction and suggestions. Highly recommend.
Deirdre has to be your wedding photographer. She is professional, timely, talented, sincere, and caring. Molly and I could not have picked a better wedding photographer. I'm not o...
ne to tear up, but she is fantastic at capturing just the right, most meaningful moments of your wedding. Thank you Deirdre.
Sincerely,
Molly and Travis Kruse
Deirdre is amazing. First of all, she has a great eye. But possibly even more important, she cares about her clients and their weddings, and she isn't looking for good shots from a...
strictly aesthetic perspective -- she works to understand the couples she works with, as well as their families and friends, allowing her to capture images that are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. Having her there on my wedding day was a wonderful gift. She was steady and supportive and easy to be around. She was also reliable, honest when she thought something might not work, but never even remotely pushy. I hate having my picture taken, but with Deirdre, it was totally painless... fun, even! Yeah... it WAS fun. And I absolutely love our photos. LOVE THEM. I can spend hours looking at them just for my own entertainment. I couldn't recommend her more highly. I'd give her a 6 if I could.
Those two words I heard the most often when showing my friends and family the photographs that Deirdre Hanlon-Jones took of our wedding. I kept hearing those words uttered from the...
people I love and those were the same two words that I kept coming back to when I looked at the pictures from our wedding day.
Long story short- I was a budget bride and I wanted to have a very fun family affair, as well as trim the details that seem to create such an expense. I didn't do bouquets, just stemmed flowers in mason jars as our centerpieces. I didn't have a traditional cake or venue, I got a friend to cater and that's how I met Deirdre. One phone conversation later, I was convinced: She was the perfect person to photograph our perfect day. Not only were her packages flexible, but she saw my vision and embraced it. I browsed her website and was floored. The words "simply stunning" kept coming back to my lips. The moments she captured- those sweet and simple moments that are in-between the big ones- those were the moments I longed to have documented on my wedding day.
Every bride deserves to have someone this special, with this much talent to be with them on their wedding day. I didn't think the same of myself at first, but now that I have had the experience I have had with Lo and Behold Photography, I believe it with all of my heart.
Not only did Deirdre stun me into speechlessness two very short weeks after our wedding with our photographs, but I was so surprised at what she saw that I missed. My sister's face through a window as I was getting ready, my best friend (and caterer) between the curtains of vintage hankies that I inherited and collected through my life, the temperature gauge on the wall to celebrate the beautiful weather we were blessed with, all these sweetly small moments that meant so much to me as a bride and as a woman.
Every time I look at our wedding album I get to celebrate our wedding over and over again. My husband, who told me the next day, "our wedding was the best day of my life," will sweetly ask to look at the pictures to re-live that wonderful day.
Deirdre is a bride's dream. She was there, observing and interacting with my friends and family as if they were her own. She absorbed herself into the scenery and it was effortless as a bride to feel just so comforted by her presence, the presence of an old friend. And her photographs, well they left us almost speechless, with just two words on our lips- simply stunning.
Deirdre - the wonderful photographer for Lo and Behold Photography, was just awesome. It was personal when it needed to be and she was a fly on the wall also - which made for some...
wonderful "in the moment" type photos. Great communications from beginning to end. Definitely worth every penny and I felt it was very affordable considering that the event was "priceless" to capture.
Ended up doing photos in the rain and in an antique store in the downtown Lee's Summit area, which turned out amazing!
