there is so much more to this than simply taking your photo. 

You're here because you're ditching the status quo and crafting a wedding experience truly authentic to you.

I'M HERE TO SUPPORT YOU WITH RESOURCES AND EXPERTISE TO CRAFT AN UNFORGETTABLE ELOPEMENT DAY.

I'm here to offer you photography that reflects that. 

You're here because you're ditching the status quo and crafting a wedding experience truly authentic to you.

I'm Phoebe Lyn Pinkner, a wedding photographer
and drone pilot based in northern Texas, US. 

Being photographed necessitates letting yourself be seen.

There's more to this than just taking your photo - this is about the ways these images shed light into your essence, your relationships, your unique aliveness.

We're rarely used to being seen, much less seeing ourselves as "beautiful" in the truest, fullest sense of the word.

I don't take this work lightly. It is an honor to be able to show others their own beauty, hold space for them in this incredible life milestone, and support them in every step of the process.

no more "feeling awkward" in front of the camera

I use a blend of activities, movement, and freeform poses to ensure you're more focused on having fun with your partner than the camera!

You won’t need to worry about how you look, if you’re doing it "right," etc., because I got you! My process leads you to simply enjoy the moment with your partner, and from that authenticity, the most stunning of photographs arise.

STELLAR COMMUNICATION + QUICK GALLERY TURNAROUND

I take on a limited number of couples each year to ensure I can give each one as much care, focus, and assistance they need. This way, I can deliver prompt communication and a quick turnaround time with photo galleries.
Engagement shoots are delivered within 2.5 weeks and full wedding or elopement galleries are delivered within 4.5 weeks.

COMPLIMENTARY OFFICIANT, TIMELINE PLANNING, + PERMIT ASSISTANCE SERVICES

All my photo packages include expert timeline planning to ensure your wedding day is relaxed, low-stress, and full of all the activities you envisioned!

For couples getting married in the great outdoors, my packages also include permit assistance services so you don't need to worry about getting the legal documents and permits required to get married on public lands. As an ordained officiant, I also offer my officiate services for my couples want to get married with just the three of us!

DREAMY, CINEMATIC IMAGERY OF YOUR MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS

I LOVE leveraging unexpected details, spontaneous weather changes, and movement to create surreal and cinematic photographs that cut right to the emotions you and your partner felt in that moment.

Forget cookie-cutter poses: we're here to capture personality, emotion, and art!

I'm here to offer you photography that reflects that.

As an FAA-certified drone pilot, I'll be using an aerial perspective to capture the beauty of your
day where flying is allowed.

My storytelling style lies in capturing not just how couples looked on their elopement or wedding day, but how they truly felt in that slice of time. 

As someone who feels shy being photographed, it's my speciality to help couples relax, become present, and then document them while they're truly in their element. 

I come from a documentary journalism background, so my approach to photography is heavily influenced by candid storytelling principles and the aesthetics of cinema.

As a people-person, it's my joy to connect on a personal level with my clients and serve not just as their photographer — but also as their hype gal, friend, and guide on their wedding day!

Thank you for being here.
I will pour my heart into our time together. :)
