Austin was such a valuable part of our day itself to a point where I started looking to him for his opinion on so many things unrelated to photography (i.e., a matte or gloss lip?!). Truly he has such a dynamic wedding toolkit, and his presence and direction contributed heavily to why I could feel so in the moment throughout the day. During the reception I had multiple conversations with my bridesmaids or guests that started with something like "you know, your photographer is really, really great... " I KNOWW!!

All of this before we saw a single photo. Once we did, we were blown away ("dizzy" really). I'd seen his stunning portfolio of beautiful couples and wedding, but it was another WILD experience to see ourselves and our own wedding represented so authentically through his lens.

More so, we felt so comfortable in front of his camera; it was effortless because he's fun, too!! On top of that, so many of our favorite photos are ones we didn't even realize at the time were "photo moments" at all. We were just in the moment, and he captured it.

What an incredible experience, and all the better that we'll have these photos for a lifetime.

In summary: all the stars and more.
