New Braunfels Wedding Photographer


We're Elijah and Savina Mayfield, and our family creative team has photographed 300+ weddings across San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country. New Braunfels is about 30 miles up I-35 from home, and we're on The Preserve at Canyon Lake's preferred vendor list. Recent weddings nearby include celebrations at The Chandelier of Gruene, The Chapel at Gruene, Gruene Estate and The Preserve.


Every New Braunfels wedding gets a lead photographer and a second shooter from our family team, with no travel fee. We help you plan a timeline that leaves room for portraits and golden hour, whether you're in historic Gruene or out at the lake.

Gruene Weddings


Gruene's historic district sits inside New Braunfels, and it's one of the most photogenic places to get married in the Hill Country. We've photographed weddings at The Chandelier of Gruene, Jesse and Carolina's spring wedding at The Chapel at Gruene, Desmin and Jelena's wedding at Gruene Estate and a micro-wedding at 8Sages, so we arrive already knowing the spaces.


Canyon Lake and The Preserve


We're on The Preserve at Canyon Lake's preferred vendor list, and it's a short drive from New Braunfels. We photographed Mando and Keila's faith-filled wedding there. Jeremy and Sarah married at St. Joseph's at Honey Creek, then celebrated at The Preserve.


Two Photographers, One Style


A lead photographer and a second shooter from our family team cover your day together, so you get getting-ready, family and candid guest photos without gaps. Video and same-week social content are optional add-ons from the same team.
