This isn’t about stiff poses or perfect lighting —
Photo+Video for couples that feel like your favorite
song —
Real ,
RAW,
& A LITTLE UNRULY
it’s about the way they looked at you when no one else was watching.
The wild laughter. The quiet tears.
The chaos, the calm, the real damn love.
That’s what I’m here for.
We’re a husband and wife wedding photography and videography team based in New Braunfels, Texas, serving couples throughout the Texas Hill Country, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, and destination weddings throughout Texas and beyond.
We’re a Texas-based photo + video team specializing in documentary and editorial storytelling—built for couples who crave connection over perfection.
If you’re here for the candid stuff—the goosebumps, the gut laughs, the stolen glances—you’re in the right place.
What started as The Lovely Lens has grown into something bigger—something shared. Tori leads with instinct, emotion, and an eye for the in-between moments. Brian brings the vision to life through movement, storytelling, and a cinematic perspective that adds depth to every story we tell.
Together, we don’t just show up to take photos or videos.
We show up to see you. Like, really see you.
We read the room. We match your energy. Whether your day feels soft and slow or loud and unhinged, we’re right there with you—documenting it honestly as it unfolds.
This isn’t a Pinterest-perfect performance.
This is your story—artfully told, honestly captured.
We’re based in Texas (and yes, we claim all of it as local), traveling wherever your story takes us. Married, building a life and a business side by side, fueled by creativity, connection, and probably too much Diet Dr Pepper.

— just opened the gallery and I’m legit screaming. You made that windy mountaintop work so well. We’re both just sitting here staring at each other like, “HOW did she do this?!” You absolutely nailed it. Thank you for saying yes to our chaos. We’re obsessed
OKAY WOW
S, Bridal Boudoir
I legit almost canceled because I was so nervous, but THANK GOD I didn’t. You made me feel so calm and confident and hyped the whole time. Looking at the gallery, I can’t believe it’s me. I don’t usually feel that kind of softness toward my body. I really, really needed this. You’re a damn magician.
You’re a damn magician.
K+J, Wedding
Tori — I don’t even know where to start. We just looked through the gallery and I’m sobbing. Somehow you got every moment without ever making us feel like we were “on.” The photos of Jason holding back tears when I was writing my vows?? I didn’t even know you were there for that.
I feel like I’m reliving it. Thank you. Seriously. You were the calm in the storm that day, and these photos are everything.
I don’t even know where to start.
For the bold hearts and wild souls who want more than just pretty pictures.

You’ve never been one to follow a script — why would your photos feel like anyone else’s? You’ve got a thing for vintage records, film grain, and love that’s lived-in. You wear your stories in ink, dress in silk and sneakers, and choose soul over spectacle every time. You’re not worried about perfect — you’re after presence.
But still, you wonder: Will a photographer really get us? Will it feel authentic or staged? Am I going to walk away with the kind of photos that actually mean something?
That’s where I come in. I don’t offer cookie-cutter anything. I offer space to breathe, freedom to be seen, and a process that’s built for people who want their memories documented with art and honesty.
You bring the love. I’ll bring the calm, the intention, and the eye for the good stuff.
