My Approach
I capture weddings with a heavy emphasis on candid images and photojournalism. But that doesn't mean I skip over giving plenty of clear direction when the time is right! My goal with every wedding is to create a collection of images that simply tell the whole story; beautiful detail work, candids, transitions, classic and editorial posed portraits, and every bit of the joy and emotion that I can possibly catch. I wouldn't consider my work to exactly fit into any one single "genre" like Documentary, Editorial, or Classic, because I blend all of those approaches, but I can say that I definitely keep my eyes peeled for a bit more of the in-between and candid moments than what I'd consider to be the average for most wedding photographers that I work along side. That means I'm a great match if you are someone who is sentimental, and specifically hunting for someone who will catch all of those sweet, perfectly imperfect little moments that you wouldn't want to miss, not only between the two of you, but also your friends and loved ones.
"Hiring Harper to photograph our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made. We spent WEEKS looking through gallery after gallery of different photographers, nervous to make the wrong choice. Harper was the PERFECT choice!!! She brought such a calm and personable energy to our wedding and captured all of the magic in both the big and small moments throughout the day. If you are on the fence, choose her!! You won’t regret it."

A Little About Me
I'm 34, living in Georgetown, Texas, with my husband who is my best friend in the whole wide world, and our wonderful 3 babies. I'm a total homebody and love working on making our house cozy and comfortable. There's nothing better to me than snuggling up on my couch with a hot cup of coffee and watching my kids be the silly goobers that they are, or playing Boggle with my husband (and mercilessly taunting him when I win). I love the beach, Christmas season (not just the day itself, that's an important distinction lol), and acoustic indie/folk music.
Hi, I'm Harper!
I've been behind the camera professionally for a whole 12 years now, and as of my last count I've happily photographed over 300 weddings (whaaat) all over Texas, so I've truly seen it all and am able to tackle of the little curveballs and challenges that weddings come with. I love what I do, and I take my work and the responsibility of providing a quality service for such important life experiences very seriously. With weddings in particular, there are no do-overs, so I'm here to help you relax and feel taken care of, and of course to walk away with beautiful and meaningful photographs to cherish for the rest of your lives.
"If you are looking for a fun, lighthearted, and incredibly talented photographer, look no further! Harper has such an incredible talent of capturing the true essence and emotion tied up in every moment.
After looking through what seemed to be hundreds of portfolios, I knew Harper was the perfect match for us because of her natural, vibrant editing style and the genuine, never overdone, joy she captured in her couples. During our wedding day, her calm and reassuring presence made my fiance and I feel so at home in front of the camera. Even while pregnant (and I'm sure wanting to put their feet up), Harper and Shelby (second shooter) kept us laughing all day. Even crazier, she turned around amazing sneak peeks in less than 24 hours... who does that?!?! All in all, Harper, you are an absolute light and we are so grateful to have had you with us on our day. THANK YOU!"

Digital + 35mm Film
I use a combination of both digital, and old school analog film cameras to create stories of both polished, clean and clear images, as well as the undeniably beautiful imperfectly imperfect look of film. I love both mediums for creating stunning and impactful artistic visual stories, with varying textures and rich colors. You may see me rocking anywhere from 3-5 cameras at one time, which can be very heavy (lol), but it's worth it for the beauty and variety that each allow me to create.
"Do it! Choose Harper! If you’re here, reading Harper’s reviews, it means you’re already interested; you already found something about Harper that you like. It could be the AMAZING photos she takes (obviously), her light, colorful and happy photography style (romantic- check, majestic- check) or her goofy and warm personality (patiently waiting for her Netflix standup special). Whatever caught your eye; you WILL NOT be disappointed. Harper was/is the best decision I made for my wedding- and I made A LOT of decisions. From the engagement shoot to my wedding day, Harper continued to amaze me. Her ability to make even the most awkward couple (my husband and I) look photogenic is truly a testament to her knowledge and talent. The way Harper captures all the love you’re feeling and none of the awkwardness is just- *chef’s kiss*. There are no cringy prom poses, no weird acrobatic tricks to get gorgeous photos. She has simply mastered her art. So, you can keep reading Harper’s reviews but you’ll keep seeing the same thing repeated: “Harper is THE best photographer and you WILL NOT regret choosing her for any and all of your photography needs”. Seriously, save yourself time and potential heartaches from other photographers. The proof is in the pictures!"
