August 13, 2024The BEST of the best!
UnityREEL photographed my baby shower and we are blown away by their work. We wanted to document this special day with some maternity shots and family portraits. They did amazing.
Jay and Misty make their subjects feel so comfortable by giving clear posing instructions and they are so kind and approachable. They did awesome keeping a toddlers attention, and making the men feel comfortable in front of the camera! Those are hard tasks!
We are so happy that we have these beautiful photos to treasure forever!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Unity Reel and Jay and Misty knocked it out of the park with their professionalism and artistic badassery! Rather it's through helping design your vision through film, or capturing a magic moment, these two will go above and beyond your expectations! To top it off, their communication and team effort was on point and helped us create a magical and unforgettable wedding for Savini & Tom. From everyone here at U7 Austin DJ, we salute you! Much love.

October 16, 2020Wonderful Photographer!
Misty did a family photography session of my 3 daughters, ages 4, 2, and 6 months. She did a wonderful job of capturing beautiful pictures of my girls. She had great ideas, got a lot of good shots even when they were not cooperating, and really captured their personalities. These are pictures I will always treasure. Misty was also very professional and got pictures to me quickly. Thank you again!!

Misty brings an eye for photography, lighting, and the thoughtful guidance that helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Jay brings cinematic storytelling, sound, motion, and the technical direction behind our video and livestream productions. Together, we balance creative vision with careful planning and a personal approach.
Whether you’re exchanging vows, bringing a team together, sharing your organization’s mission, or celebrating someone you love, we take time to understand what matters to you. We guide you when you need direction and stay attentive to the natural moments unfolding around us.
