About

how we roll...

We are Tressie & Chad Zellner, the eyes behind Two Pair Photography, a husband and wife duo based in Abilene, TX. We are passionate about telling peoples stories fully and authentically from a unique artistic standpoint, and having a BLAST doing it! We love LOVE and being in love! We are constantly driven to create imaginative and real pictures to stave away from boring with that which is systematic and contrived. We hold tight to the philosophy that people should be themselves fully and unapologetically, and try to live our own life in that way. We are fun, spontaneous, and see the world as our playground. We don't take ourselves too seriously, are easy going, and really enjoy each others company. We are Shoot-o-holics!

Our clients.
Don't want cheesy wedding photos because you agree that photography is just as radical as life. Trust with reckless abandon your photographers to capture your story while you enjoy living it. You laugh often, know how to bust a move (or at least try), and don't take yourselves too seriously. You are in LOVE!

Memories we will cherish forever!

Two Pair Photography was absolutely incredible! We initially were drawn to the pricing and editing style, but the team itself really stole our hearts. Chad was so kind and professional to work with. Marisa, who photographed our wedding and engagement shoot, was incredibly skilled and warm. She made us feel so comfortable that I kept forgetting a photographer was even there. The wedding day itself went smoothly, and we got our photos within around two weeks, which was really impressive. Our photos came out beautifully, and we are so grateful that Two Pair gave us memories of one of the best days of our lives!!

The best photos!

We love Two Pair! Chad shot our engagement photos, bridals, and wedding. It can be hard to pick a photographer, but it was Two Pair's artistic style, ability to capture a moment versus a pose, price transparency, and "down for adventure" personality that ultimately led us to book them. We absolutely made the right choice and I would recommend them to anyone!

Chad was down to go to Big Bend for our engagement photos for a very reasonable and transparent travel rate. Of note, all of their pricing is super transparent which I really appreciated. It was so cool getting to have our photos in a place so special to us and get to know Chad before the wedding! He made having our photo taken so easy and comfortable and this translated to the bridals and wedding day as well. Allie was the second shooter for our wedding and she fit into the vibe of our vendor team beautifully - kind, warm, and easy-going.

Two Pair does a great job of capturing the feeling of the day, while also being able to get the structured photos your family will be asking for. They capture the best of both worlds.

We are so grateful to Two Pair for giving us photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Vibrant Austin Tx Wedding Photos

Our wedding planner, Eclipse Events, recommended Two Pair Photography. I was looking for vibrant, colorful, artistic wedding photos that capture the events of the day without being overly posed. This matched really well with Two Pair's style. Plus their photos are gorgeous!! I was sold after looking through their portfolio. Our engagement photos in an Austin park at sunset were stunning. On the wedding day, we felt so comfortable with Chad and Tressie. Our favorites were the first look and family portraits. Despite what i said about being less interested in the posed pictures, they really hit a home run on our family photos- everyone looks beautiful! They are very easy to work with, responsive, and bring some humor & good vibes to the day.

Gorgeous photos

Two Pair Photography stepped in to shoot our wedding when our original photographer couldn't make it because of covid. We were beyond happy with their work, and we are extremely grateful that they stepped in for us. Megan was fantastic and very funny - her jokes helped my husband and me relax through the many hours of photography, and we had so much fun with her. We could not recommend Two Pair Photography enough. Their work is beautiful, and Megan was lovely.

NYE Wedding

Chad and Tressie brought every moment we wanted memorialized to life. From flying out to take our engagement photos in DC, meeting Alyssa around her busy schedule for her bridal portraits and capturing each perfect moment at the wedding. They beat our expectations at every turn. On wedding day, we had no concerns that everything would go smoothly with them on our vendor team. Tressie captured and brought to life the close relationships Alyssa has with her bridesmaids, and Chad was constantly buzzing around the groom’s suite, grabbing classic memories, but was essentially sight unseen. We are blown away by the gorgeous ceremony photos that truly showed the vision we had for our wedding day and brought to life the energy of our amazing NYE wedding and all our guests on and off the dance floor. We are so thankful we chose this rockstar duo as our photographer. Lots of love!! Xoxoxo

The ONLY option in my book

Wow. From the very first email to the very last picture, I was so glad we picked Chad and Tressie to shoot our wedding. I said from the start that my fiance and I weren't exactly comfortable with your standard posed photo and they took that in and made sure we always felt at ease and found amazing ways to capture us candidly and (to my surprise) even in posed pictures. They were kind, fun and energetic. I wish I had another reason to hire them soon!

So easy to work with!

Chad and Tressie were very easy to work with. They even met my fiance feel comfortable which is hard. They felt like they were part of the wedding! I can't wait to hire them again.

All the feels for Two Pair - highly recommend

We were referred to Chad & Tressie by our florist, Flora Fetish, and I couldn’t say enough good things about our experience with them and all of the beautiful photos we now have from our engagement session and wedding day. We decided early on that we didn’t want a videographer and so it was very important to me that we had two photographers on the day so that all the special moments could be captured. We knew from our first email exchange that Chad & Tressie were going to be so fun to work with. We met Chad at our engagement session in Dallas and neither my husband nor I had experienced a professional photo session before and we were a little nervous. Chad did an amazing job at getting us to feel relaxed, laugh and it ended up being a really fun experience. Both Chad & Tressie were with us on our wedding day in Austin they were just like part of the family. Outside of our coordinator they were the vendor we spent the most time with and their warmth and humor kept us grounded in those special moments throughout a very fast-paced and crazy day. We got all of the photos we wanted and of course plenty of unexpected ones that we are obsessed with. I could write a novel about these two so definitely check them out - you won’t regret it!!

So happy with our experience

We could not be happier that we chose Chad & Tressie for our engagement session! We were definitely nervous going into the day, but Chad was so cool and made us feel at ease in front of the camera right away. We had a great morning exploring some cool parts of Austin and can't wait for them to photograph our wedding!

Photos Captured the Real Us

When my husband and I started research for photographers for our wedding, our venue, The Allan House, had Two Pair as an approved vendor. We looked through their work online and felt like it would be a great fit for us on our wedding day!

We met with Chad ahead of time before finalizing the contract, and it was so easy to chat with him, and see his passion for photography. We hired Two Pair, and we are ecstatic for the quality of pictures that came from both our engagement shoot and wedding.

During the engagement shoot, and during the wedding, Two Pair continued to put us at ease, and would crack jokes to help us remain relaxed throughout the day. It is so amazing to look at their fantastic work and see the love, and goofiness my husband and I have for each other.

Would absolutely hire again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
