About Gabe & Kyle | Hill Country Wedding Photo + Film

The two behind the cameras

Hey, we're Gabe & Kyle.

Your friends who happen to be badasses with cameras. That's us up there, on an actual wedding day. Big claim, we know. We'll let the work back it up.

Meet the duo that's us, working.
Why we started this

Most wedding photography is boring as hell. Same poses, same clichés, same "look at each other and laugh at nothing." Hard pass. We shoot weddings the way they actually feel from the middle of one: sweaty, overwhelmed, stupidly happy.

Gabe

The one who won't sit still.

Gabe runs the whole damn circus at Gabe Rene LLC and shoots both photo and film. ADHD-creative energy, permanently three moves ahead, already halfway across the room before the moment even happens.

Born and raised on San Antonio's SW Side, Kerrville since 2002. Obsessive about getting it right, allergic to "good enough." His name's on every gallery, so nothing leaves the door that isn't damn good.

Kyle · Navy Veteran

The calm to Gabe's chaos.

Kyle's the fiancé, the second shooter, and the reason Gabe hasn't spontaneously combusted at a reception yet. Born and raised right here in the Hill Country, and a Navy veteran, which explains the steady hands and the fact that nothing on a wedding day rattles him. Steady hands, sharp eye, keeps the whole day feeling easy while Gabe's off chasing light like a man possessed.

Two shooters who actually know each other means both sides of every moment: your face and your partner's, same second. And planning our own wedding taught us exactly what couples need. Be early, be prepared, don't make it weird.

the duo thing is the whole point

Put us together at a wedding and something clicks. One of us is reading the room, the other's already framing the shot. We finish each other's sentences and each other's frames. Oh, and Kyle already knows exactly where I'm gonna want my light.

How we work

Three things we believe.

01

It's your wedding, not our photoshoot.

We're there to document your day, not hijack it for content. The best photos happen when you forget we're holding cameras.

02

Real beats pretty. Every damn time.

Snotty happy-cries, the uncle who dances like nobody's watching, the quiet second before the doors open. That's the good stuff.

03

Show up ready.

Early, prepared, backup gear packed. Fast answers, no ghosting, zero drama. We respect your time and your day.
