About Gaston Cherry Photography

Who we are

Welcome to where creativity meets precision. I’m Ninon Cherry—founder, CEO, and lead photographer at Gaston Cherry Photography. With a passion for capturing artistry in every frame—whether it’s the evolution of a construction site, the elegance of architectural design, or the professionalism of a business portrait—I bring a storyteller’s eye and a technical mind to every project.

As a minority woman entrepreneur, I offer a perspective that reflects both representation and excellence. With specialized training in photography and videography, my goal is to deliver high-quality, impactful visuals that tell compelling stories and highlight the innovation behind each project.

I work alongside my husband, Jeff Cherry, a lighting expert and FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot. Together, we’re a dynamic team offering full-spectrum photography services—on the ground and in the air—tailored to construction companies, government agencies, and business professionals across Austin and beyond.

At Gaston Cherry Photography, we believe in building relationships as strong as the structures we document. From construction sites and product launches to real estate listings, headshots, and the occasional goofy, glorious dog, we approach every shoot with care, curiosity, and commitment.

My Approach

I see photography as a blend of intuition and expertise—where art meets architecture. It’s about knowing how to light a scene and how to listen.
How to time the perfect drone sweep and how to put a nervous client at ease.

Every client is different. Every shoot is a collaboration. Whether I’m working with a large construction firm, a small business, or a proud pet parent, I adapt my process to support your vision and deliver work that aligns with your goals.

Certifications & Capabilities

  • DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
