We love being able to offer both digital and 35mm film! 
We develop and scan right here in our own home & that feeling as we are carefully counting down each cycle to process your precious memories and then seeing it come to life on film is unlike any other feeling on the planet.... we also dont use Ai to edit your digital images so everything is processed by hand here at Xo Golden and thats the way we like it and I am pretty sure thats why you are here too ✨

where analog+digital meet

Texas wedding photographer

I (Jess) started shooting on film at just 9 years old with my grandpas old 110mm kodak camera & the love never stopped growing from there. 
I went into highschool yearbook and learned all the dark room techniques just to forget them when I was going to college and then turn around and quit college and find myself picking up a digital camera just to document a few grad photos & somehow that turned into starting a business in 2011 and within the last 15 years I am back shooting film and digital with my now  wife (Trish) who also loves photography, wanted to learn everything she could starting back in 2021 and now is my life AND business partner and we chase clients all around the states under the sun, in the snow, in the rain and under the moon light bc we are OBSESSED with what we do :)

Life is too short, do what ya love....
