No Regrets, Completely Worth It, and Highly Recommended
This is an incredible photography company that is run by the family. Allie, Bill, and Karen are all incredibly professional, responsive, and will make sure your day is memorable for all the good things a special day should be about. They offer more than just photography and videography, which I also recommend if you are considering eloping. Peary Photography was able to make a suggested photo of a bouquet become a reality with their own little flair that looked even better than the images I sent them. I also highly recommend Peary Photography if you are considering Chapel Dulcinea because of how many ceremonies and engagements they have photographed before. Both Bill and Karen have an eye for photography, they work together to ensure you get the best shots. They know how to pose you, they know what to have you do to make the photos more natural, they are very respectful and also funny, and they can see a scene and know exactly what look to go for. You have nothing to worry about when using Peary Photography. They will make sure your photos of your special day are everything you want, if not more. I cannot say enough good things about Peary Photography, other than I highly recommend. Please check out their portfolio and just see they are what you need! We also were fortunate enough to get our photos back in a very timely manner! -

Crystal W. Sent on 04/19/2023The Peary's are a joy to work with.
We selected the All Inclusive Package with Bill and Karen Peary. Karen was our officiants, they took care of our flowers, light coordination, and our photography. Anytime we had questions prior to booking and after, they were very responsive and helpful.
They were a joy to work with and made the day go very smoothly. You could tell they have been working closely together for many years and truly love what they do.
We were married at Chapel Dulcinea and Bill even gave a nice history lesson of the Chapel and Wizard Academy! We really enjoyed how much he shared with us.
We would highly recommend Bill and Karen (aka ATX Elopements) for your big day or any other photography needs! -

Best Value, So Fun!
My wife Hilary and I had a totally awesome time working with Bill and Karen. They were helpful leading up to the wedding, helping us plan family photos at the cathedral, plan a post ceremony photo location, and then they went above and beyond at the reception, catching posed and candid photos of all our guests, not to mention all the beautiful photos of the ceremony and the bridal party getting ready.
They're value is unmatched, and there is zero sacrifice in quality. We can't wait to display our new photos! We had them for 7 hours on the day, and they were a joy the whole time. Thanks Peary family! -

1000% HIGHLY recommend!
We are so incredibly happy with the work of Peary Photography (photography for engagement photoshoot, bridal photoshoot, and wedding day; videography for wedding day; coordination for wedding day).
For the photography, from our very first meeting, it was clear that Bill Peary is passionate about his craft and incredibly skilled. He went above and beyond to ensure that every shot was perfect for our engagement and bridal photoshoots and our wedding day. The end result was a stunning collection of photographs that truly tell the story of our love and wedding.
Bill's attention to detail, artistic eye, and ability to capture both perfect portraits and candid moments make him a truly talented photographer. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. He exceeded all my expectations, and we are forever grateful for the memories he captured for us. We will treasure the photos our whole lives!
Not only did Bill capture stunning and beautiful photos of our special day, but he also had a very fast turn around time. We received the photos only several days after our wedding which was a pleasant surprise and allowed us to share our memories with family quickly. We especially really appreciated this fast turn around since my grandma, who was unable to attend the wedding due to her health, was able to enjoy seeing the photos before she sadly passed away only two weeks and a half after the wedding. I will always remember the smile on my grandma’s face and her joy as we showed her the stunning wedding photos.
For the wedding videography, we also appreciated how we received the sneak peak 1 min trailer earlier than we expected, and we were able to make a suggestion for a small edit to the video upon previewing it. We were pleasantly surprised at the crisp audio quality in the video since it was a very windy day. The editing style was very cinematic and made us feel special like we were in a movie. It was great how John, the videographer, captured the entirety of important events throughout the day. At first we chose the option for just the 7-8 min highlight video, but after our wedding day we realized we really wanted to be able to re-watch the entire ceremony, first dance, toasts in their entirety. It was a relief that we had the option to upgrade our video package to include the longer documentary video with all the important events.
For the wedding coordination, Karen Peary was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect. Not only was she incredibly organized and efficient, but she was also kind, friendly, and always willing to help with whatever we needed.
Karen’s attention to detail was impeccable, and she made sure that everything ran smoothly on our big day. Our wedding day was bizarrely very cold at 25 deg F, and our ceremony was at the outdoor Chapel Dulcinea. Karen was so helpful, prepared with hand warmers and an extra tissue, and was supportive in checking up on how we were doing in the cold.
We really appreciated Karen and Allie’s quick responses to our many questions before the wedding via email, and we appreciated the excel spreadsheet they sent which helped us organize the timeline and key details.
Overall, Peary Photography made our photoshoots and wedding day truly special, and we are sincerely grateful to them and highly recommend them! -

Kelly K. Sent on 07/01/2020Would recommend TO EVERYONE! Far exceeded expectations!
Bill made ALL OF US feel very at ease instantly with his approachable, warm & kind demeanor. He knew the grounds very well, and used every spare second to get perfect photos! He included everyone in multiple arrangements, with varied backgrounds, different angles, both candid and posed. This obviously comes very naturally to him! We received the pics just a few mere days after the ceremony, which is the quickest turnaround I've ever experienced! HIs prices were a great value for the service offered and I will be highly recommending him to anyone I come across who needs a photographer! His response time was always fast & courteous, and the prints we ordered are absolutely stunning. We were so happy to blend our families together that day, and he captured that feeling in every single pic. Will definitely be requesting to hire Peary Photography again in the future! -

Bill, Karen and Allie were exceptional from beginning to end. They helped me plan our very small wedding and made sure I knew what all of the options were and never made me uncomfortable about my questions. Karen did an outstanding job on my bouquet and officiating our ceremony. Bill captured priceless photos for us from our big day and we will cherish them for the rest of time. I recommend the Peary team whole-heartedly! -

A Blending of Families and Friends
We could not have chosen a better group of photographers if we tried.
We started the planning during COVID with no planner, my mom living out of town, as well as my future-mother-in-law, and my fiance in the oilfield. I just hopped on The Knot after hearing nothing but good things about it. We chose the Peary's because we loved their "About Us" blurbs and the photos in the gallery, along with the rave reviews from Karen and Old Glory Ranch.
We had to move our date due to personal reasons, and everyone was completely understanding, extremely helpful, and patient.
The day of just flowed so smoothly and we honestly did not even know Bill or Kim were there except the few times we'd catch them in the background or when we were doing group photos, as all the others were so natural.
When we got the link for our photos, we were in shock and awe wondering just how in the world they got some of the shots they captured, and the emotion was so real in them.
Everyone to this day continues to talk about how wonderful and relaxing the day was, and how pleasant the photographers were. Bill's humor kept everyone's nerves at bay, and Kim reassured me when I apologized for being "bossy" (it was unexpectedly hot) that "it was our day and we deserved to get the photos we wanted so we could remember the day and all of the memories that go along with it."
We cannot wait to continue to work with the Peary family and we recommend them 100%. -

Meredith H. Sent on 07/31/2020HIGHLY recommend!!!!
I could not recommend Peary enough!!! Bill, Karen, and Allie truly feel like family to us now. They were initially recommended to us by Old Glory Ranch (fantastic venue!) and the first time we ever talked to Allie, we decided on our photographers. They did our engagement photos, bridals, and two of our wedding days (original date and COVID postponed date). On our original small COVID date, Karen even officiated our wedding with just us and our parents present. The photos from all these events are stunning and truly capture all the special moments. I would choose Peary over and over again. HIGHLY recommend!!! -

Best Experience!!
Bill and Karen were super helpful, from the paperwork/contract to helpful tips! We had a private ceremony with just our 3 kids, Karen was even willing to help my 3 boys get dressed while my husband and I got dressed. They guided and made everything fast and easy! I would really recommend! -

Amazing Experience!
Bill, Karen and Allie at Peary are amazing!! We used them for both engagement photos and bridal portraits and could not have been happier with our pictures. Not only are they kind and fun people, but they helped pose us in so many cute ways for our engagement photos and we LOVE how they turned out! I absolutely love my bridals too. Karen made me a beautiful bouquet, Bill brought me a glass of wine, and my parents and I had the best day with them! My bridal portrait are gorgeous and I will treasure them forever. I highly recommend Peary for wedding photography! -

I can’t say enough! Peary Photography is perfection in all ways. We are amazed at pictures captured that help us relive so many beautiful moments. They worked w/MOB to set up some surprises & were extremely time efficient that we weren’t away from the party but maybe 20 min allowing more picture perfect celebration moments. We are thrilled & know anyone who hires them will fall in love with their gift of photography! -

Fall Family Photo Session
I was blown away at how Bill and his wife were so down to earth and light-hearted, yet extremely professional and engaged with our family (w/ a 5 year old and baby)! They had a plan for all of the pictures/ settings and moved us all along very smoothly, grabbing baby and kiddos attention every step of the way. I will cherish these moment forever 💗 -

We sincerely appreciate all the work the Peary's did for us this topsy-turvy year, from the engagement photos to the wedding photos and the beautiful albums.
We knew within a couple of minutes after meeting them last year that we wanted them as our photographers. We had high expectations and they exceeded them! -

Amazing, amazing team!
The Peary team is just amazing at everything they do! To be honest, when my husband and I decided to elope, we knew we didnt know where to start with the planning, but we knew the photographer was on our top priorities and with out having to look anywhere else, we booked with Peary. I gotta tell ya'll, they really made the whole process and event as easy as possible for us and everyone involved! They are extremely caring, funny, hospitable, and professional! I received my photos a week after our wedding and without a doubt, I cried looking at the pictures because they captured every special moment. Looking back at our wedding, the pictures really capture the sweetness and love of our special day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -

Bill, Karen, and Allie are amazing! A friend of mine recommended them and I am so glad that she did. They certainly live up to their high ratings! Allie was very responsive to any questions that I had and was willing to talk with my family and I on the phone several times to make sure that everything was as organized as possible. Bill and Karen took all of the photos on my wedding day and they did an awesome job! They were very organized, worked great with our wedding planner and videographer, and they were super friendly. They captured all of our special moments beautifully! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a high quality photographer! -

I cannot say enough good things about the Peary family! They were such a pleasure to work with and the pictures exceeded all my expectations. Bill was such a pro that I never worried about a thing. Even my guests raved how awesome he was. Everybody LOVES our pictures. Bill nailed it and I couldn't be happier! -
