Owner
Hi I'm Austin, the owner of this lovely business! I've been involved with photography going on 15 years and have been in the wedding industry for 4 years. I was a sports photographer for a long time and never realized how much I would love weddings and the couples I would meet! I'm an optimistic, fun loving person who is always up for anything. I have a large, goofy cat named Gus but will be getting a new pup soon! Being genuine in everything you do is a large part of what I believe and I feel like that has really helped me in this business!

I don't think we could come up with enough good things to say about Austin. His personality, flexibility, professionalism, value, and, most importantly, work product made him truly a joy to work with. We were blessed to be incredibly happy with all of the vendors we chose - and Austin was still the best of the best. Obviously a lot goes into choosing the right photographer - our thoughts on some of those below:
Value: While Austin is not the cheapest photographer on the market, he is an unbelievable value. Of all the photography options we considered he was still near the low end in price, while having a simple pricing model that won't nickel and dime you. You own all of the photos he takes, get your engagement session included with wedding packages, and if he needs a second photographer for the wedding day it is included in the price you see.
Communication/Personality: Austin places a high importance on feeling like he knows the couple on a personal level before wedding day - this allows him to truly capture your relationship and you to feel as comfortable as possible. He is incredibly patient, friendly, personable, and easy to communicate with. We left feeling like we had known him our whole lives - while still remaining professional. We met up with him for drinks and to chat 3 or 4 times throughout the process - as a result we felt incredibly familiar by wedding day - taking a lot of the pressure or awkwardness out of the intimate moments he was capturing. If you prefer someone who will simply show up the day of, take pictures, and be on their way then Austin may not be your first choice - but we saw his involvement as a huge pro.
Work Product - Austin's photos speak for themselves. He shoots with a timeless style and minimal editing (he touches up pictures very nicely as necessary, but works largely with natural colors, saturations, and settings). While he doesn't guarantee a certain number of photos, you are given access to and ownership of any picture he takes - we ended up with far more engagement and wedding photos than we expected - and he doesn't cap or limit how many you get the rights to like other photographers. His turnaround times were also incredible - we got access to our engagement shots within a week and all of our wedding pictures in less than a month. He is also incredibly polite but efficient and effective in directing portraits, family shots, and keeping the event moving along day of.
Another unique thing Austin provides is his incredibly lengthy and helpful wedding prep guidebook. It is full of little tips, tricks, lists, and things to plan - both photography related and not. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge and is very generous in sharing it.
All this to say, we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our special day. Do yourself a favor and put Austin your shortlist of wedding photographers!

Austin was amazing! He took the time to get to know us throughout the year and helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement session was the first time we had ever had professional photos taken but Austin made it feel like a piece of cake. We opted for a 2nd engagement session so that we could also get some great pictures with our pups too. He makes every session such a fun and enjoyable experience. We look forward to enjoying our engagement and wedding photos for decades to come.

Austin was very personable and easy to work with. He captured some beautiful candid photos that are so special to us. Upon signing with him, he sent us a guide he’s made for us to go through to learn about his approach. We love that his package includes unlimited photos because so many photographers we talked to limited how many photos they would provide and we wanted to see every moment of our day.
We met up at a coffee shop beforehand to get to know each other and feel comfortable. Day of, it was raining & that didn’t stop him from working his butt off. He worked through our list of requests while using his artistic eye to capture the most perfect moments. Got my sneak peeks within a few days & the full album shortly after!

Austin is truly talented! He captured our day at the Catholic Church, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the iconic Stanley Hotel with such love. From the start, his dedication and warmth made everyone feel at ease, and it showed when he even climbed on a rock to get the perfect shot!
So many guests approached me after the wedding, raving about his talent and how wonderful he was to work with. You can genuinely feel his passion for photography. He beautifully documented our laughter, happy tears, and the sweetest moments we shared. I am forever grateful for his hard work and the memories he created for us. Thank you so much Austin for making our day unforgettable!

Choosing Austin as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding was one of the best decisions we made!!
From our very first call, Austin impressed us with his professionalism and attention to detail. He walked us through every step, helping us create a perfect timeline and always asking thoughtful questions to ensure our day was uniquely ours.
Austin made everything so much easier and always made sure we felt comfortable—even though we're not typically photo people. Both during our engagement shoot and on the wedding day, he had a remarkable ability to put us at ease in front of the camera.
On our wedding day, Austin not only made us feel relaxed but also scouted out the most beautiful location for our photos. The final results were absolutely stunning, perfectly capturing the love and joy of the day. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer, and we're incredibly grateful to have had Austin by our side. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with Austin as our photographer! Great communication and flexibility, and our photos turned out better than I could have imagined. We had a smallish destination wedding in Larkspur, CO - Austin did an amazing job capturing our surroundings and integrating the beauty around us. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend to any and all.

We had an amazing experience with Austin for our recent October 2023 wedding! Austin was highly responsive and professional throughout our entire contract with him. We were extremely impressed with how easily he directly our wedding party and family to capture all of the shots we requested. He is also extremely timely and provided us with sneak peeks of both our engagement photos and wedding photos a few days after the shoots. And he even returned our full wedding gallery of 1100+ photos ~3 weeks after the wedding! He provided a wide variety of photos capturing every element of the day with diverse backdrops and posing. We have so many photos we love that we are struggling to choose our favorites!

Austin was the best! We looked at many photographers and out of everyone, he stood out the most. For our engagement photos, Austin drove up into the mountains and was super flexible with our locations, and he walked in ice cold water and mud just to give us the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are stunning!!! He was so much fun to work with and truly went the extra mile to ensure our special day was captured perfectly. We are beyond grateful that we chose Austin as our wedding photographer, as he captured our entire journey better than we could have imagined! Not only did we walk away with the most beautiful photos, but also a new friend! We can't recommend him enough, for all of your photo needs! We will absolutely be using him again in the future for our family photos.

Austin is the gold standard for wedding photographers! He captured our wedding day/night so impeccably and we have hundreds of beautiful, natural and just straight up stunning pictures to help us remember the most special night of our lives. Austin was probably the best investment we made for our wedding. He was so genuine when getting to know us prior to us choosing him and that did not change. There is no sense that he's trying to "sell" you at all. We spent an hour getting to know him and learning about his style and preference to ensure (for his sake and ours) that he was the perfect fit and we couldn't be happier! He met up with us a couple times prior to our wedding to get to know us better so that on the day of, there were no nerves with the photos; it was as if your friend was asking for a quick pic.
He is remarkably talented and you can tell when he's doing his work that you are going to come out with a top-tier product when he's done. I have heard that other wedding photographers just apply a generic filter to all your pictures to make the editing easier. Not with Austin, the lighting always comes out perfectly, the editing is so natural and just makes the photographs shine like the memories they will become. Timeliness? Austin had our sneak peek to us the day after our wedding before we even got to our honeymoon destination! I'm really thankful for such a quick turnaround.
A couple other notes: he included our engagement session and even traveled into the mountains for us to get some absolutely breathtaking shots. He was on time, exceedingly professional, remarkably organized on the day of so the many photos we took ran smooth and he used his second photographer excellently to gather small detailed shots that he knew (without us asking) that we would want. He clearly cares about each couple that he works with and develops an emotional connection with you so that he can understand what your dreams are and play his part in making them a reality.
I'm convinced Austin is the best photographer you could choose for your wedding and we'd give him six stars if we could! Thank you, Austin, you're the man!

We hit the lottery with Austin!! Best photographer ever! Not only is he professional and talented, but he's just an amazing person. He took the time to get to know us throughout the year leading up to our wedding. We felt so comfortable having him around. On our big day he wasn't just our photographer, he was my second coordinator, friend, and therapist. Austin has so much knowledge about the industry. He also got our photos to us very quickly which we really appreciated. I cannot recommend him enough!

Austin was simply amazing! We can't recommend him enough. Austin was prompt, creative, and extremely easy to work with. We were admittedly a little uncomfortable posing for pictures and wanted to use our "engagement photo" session as a way to prepare for the wedding day. Austin totally understood and helped us feel comfortable and prepared. His photos turned out AMAZING. His assistant was just as helpful. Wedding day is stressful, but Austin helped us navigate it without issue as timing constraints started to pop up. He was professional, fun, accommodating, and made us feel truly special. He even helped me keep my head on straight! I would recommend him to anybody looking for a photographer. The best!

Austin is an amazing photographer and a really great guy! I think if you look at his work it speaks for itself. He really takes the time to get to know you, listen to any input you have and delivers above what you can even picture in your mind. My wife and I were blown away with the engagement and wedding photos that Austin took! In addition, he uses his experience from previous weddings and shares what he has learned to help make your wedding day go as smooth as it can. We really appreciated his help and insights and cannot recommend him enough for your engagement/wedding photos.

We did our engagement and wedding photos with Austin and he exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to walk us through each step and made sure we felt comfortable during every shot. He captured the most beautiful double rainbow and made us laugh during the rain. The picture quality was exceptional and he made our special day memorable. Highly recommend Austin for any special moment you want to capture. He will not disappoint!

Austin was fantastic and we loved working with him! From the start we knew that he was a great match for us as a photographer, and he really took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in a wedding photographer.
From the start he was extremely organized and was a fantastic communicator. He made sure that we were all on the same page for the timeline of our wedding and made recommendations that helped our day go so smoothly.
He even created a doc for us to collaborate on, so that we could get all of the family/bridal party photos we wanted. I hadn't realized how big of a lifesaver this would be until the day of, wen ended up with each shot we wanted, without even having to think about it. He was just so organized, he made it such a breeze. We had several guest come up and compliment how organized he was as well :)
His knowledge of the Denver area also helped enormously and he helped us to find the perfect spot for our first look!
Last but not least, the turnaround time for our final shots was lightning fast. Seriously- we had them in less than 2 weeks. I have friends who got married a month/two before us, and they are only just now receiving their photos.
Austin is absolutely worth the investment- we could not recommend him more.

The pictures that we received from our day are absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to use him again in the future.

I cannot say enough great things about Austin: he was incredibly easy to work with, is genuinely friendly and cares, and takes amazing photos. Seriously, if you need a photographer for anything, I encourage you to check out Austin's portfolio and reach out.
I haven't done a lot of photoshoots in my life, but three things stand out about my experience working with Austin:
1) He's a planner and wants to help you. Others have commented on this, too, and you'll hear "trust your photographer" for your day of schedule, but he has next level resources and is also so friendly and helpful via email and phone. He helped us work through our wedding timeline and ensured everything went so smoothly for taking photos the day-of.
2) He's creative and takes amazing photos without being corny. We loved the energy he and his assistant had while we did our first look and portraits afterwards outside. They captured us and the gorgeous scenery. After our wedding we ran into another couple that got married the same day as us. All dressed up, the bride joked we should take some photos and do the "fake laugh" our photographers had asked us to do all day. I am so deeply grateful that Austin and his assistant never asked us to do a fake laugh. Austin isn't going to make you do anything that seems forced. He is just going to make you feel at ease and take classical and fun shots that feel right for you.
3) He is so hard working and keeps things fun. Everyone we talked to about the wedding said they saw our photographers everywhere, grabbing great shots of the guests having fun, and Austin was truly running all over the place! But he didn't make us feel stressed or anything when we suggested adding in a few final photos. He is just all around the type of person you want around to keep you celebrating, enjoying your time with family and friends, and documenting it all.

We were thrilled with every part of working with Austin for our wedding! He is so talented and it is no understatement when we say that every single person we showed our photos to has RAVED about them. From our stunning engagement photos, to meeting prior to our wedding to pick out locations for photos, to our wedding day, we are so thankful that we chose Austin. He got our photos back to us super fast and no surprise, they were absolutely perfect! He captured our day wonderfully-- getting every detail as well as snapping some candid photos that we will cherish forever. He is detailed, thoughtful, and easy going and makes taking photos fun, natural, and comfortable. We wanted a photographer to not only capture the day, but also the little moments in between, and Austin did just that! All that said, we highly recommend Austin for your wedding. You won't regret it!

My husband and I LOVE our wedding photos from Austin so much! Austin did an amazing job capturing our wedding day and getting all of the important details that we wanted, even though it was one of the hottest days of the summer. We started working with him in fall 2019 when we took our engagement photos. When we had to postpone a year, Austin made the postponement process easy when it could have been very stressful. I would highly recommend Austin for his great work and professionalism!

Hire Austin. We simply cannot recommend Austin enough. He is incredibly talented in his field, and not only was he was joy to be around on our wedding day, but his presence actually made our day better. His knowledge of the local area, wedding venues and other wedding vendors was top notch. He used his experience in the field to make our lives easier. Austin helped us think about planning things we wouldn’t have thought about otherwise – ensuring our day was perfect when it arrived. He was incredibly easy to get along with, courteous, respectful, and a whole lot of fun! We cannot thank Austin enough for his talent, expertise, knowledge and care to ensure our day was exactly what we wanted. He ensured every moment was captured, and he captured moments we didn’t even realize he was there for. Our photos are better than we could have ever imagined. After the wedding, the father of the bride even commented on how phenomenal Austin was on our wedding day, saying Austin would be his first recommendation for anyone looking for a photographer. Kudos for a job well done, and thank you, Austin!!

Austin shot our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of a camera normally, but Austin made the experience so easy and fun, our photos all look like we’re naturals! He worked in all of our requests and had so many great ideas of his own. He even let us work in our (very hyper) lab, was able to get his attention and take some amazing photos of all of us. We’ll cherish the photos he took forever!

Austin is a wonderful photgraoher. He has a very calm and confident personality. The engagement photos were great and he was always available to talk leading up to the wedding for when we had questions. He was able to keep us on track during the wedding day and capture every photo we wanted. Even though the temperature was very cold and snowing he never complained and actually found a great location for picture for us which we got on canvass hanging in our home. We were so happy with the photos he took capturing the day. We highly recommend him.

We hired Austin for our wedding back in May of 2019. At the time of our wedding my wife and I were long distance from Austin so we had to do all of coordination over phone calls and zooms. This would have scared us normally if Austin wasn't so prepared and cordial. Come day of Austin was punctual and did an amazing job. We also gave Austin the freedom to take creative liberties and those turned out to be some of our favorite shots.

Using Austin for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we could have made! From the first meeting with him, we felt so immediately comfortable that we walked out knowing we were going to choose to work with him over the others we had talked to, no question! Austin was so friendly and kind and did a great job of making this awkward bride feel comfortable for both our engagement session and our full wedding day. He made our gloomy/cold engagement photo day look like a beautiful sunset photo shoot in the pictures. He was easy to get in touch with, responded quickly, and was so helpful in helping me to organize the day by getting in touch with our other vendors to make sure timing was perfect and everything went smoothly! He was also able to wrangle or wedding crowd with ease and made our photos fun, with some goofy poses thrown in that gave us hilarious photos that were all we ever wanted :) The only bad part was how hard he made it to narrow down photos for our album, as our selection was extensive and all so beautiful!! We highly recommend Austin for your big day! You can’t go wrong!

Austin photographed our wedding in June 2019 and he was so great! Not only did our pictures turn out wonderful and the moments he captured so special, but he was fantastic all around! He helped guide our day along, kept our rowdy group focused, and was super easy to work with the entire time. I’ll forever be grateful for all of that because it’s a hectic day of course but also I hate getting my picture taken! He made me feel incredibly comfortable.

Austin photographed our engagement session in Colorado and it was the best decision we made. He was super responsive, flexible, funny and incredibly easy to work with. Taking pictures can feel awkward, but the first thing Austin does is make you feel comfortable and builds a connection with you. Our shoot began with a sunny day hiking to an alpine lake, which transitioned into rain and then HAIL. Not only did we laugh about the situation, but Austin managed to capture the most romantic moments during the entire thing. We loved working with him and cannot wait to hire him in the future!

Austin did a great job photographing our wedding this past fall. He was easy to work with from the very beginning. He was a great communicator and answered all of our questions. Our engagement photo session was a blast in the snow and it was a great way for us to get to know each other and how we photographed best. Our wedding day was beautiful and was captured perfectly through our photos. Austin did a great job leading us in our day and kept us stress free. Our wedding photos are something we will cherish for a long time.

We used Austin for our wedding back in October as well as our engagement session back in February of last year. We took the opportunity in February to do an engagement session/family photos session with our three kids. Not only were our engagement photos beautiful, he took some of the best family photos I have ever seen showing how versatile his skills are. Then with our wedding photos we, once again, were nothing but pleased with the way our photos turned out. They are beautiful and captured the memories we will cherish from that day forever. We had a huge wedding party and Austin was so patient and fun when dealing with our chaos. His communication was on point and he always offered help with whatever the questions may be. He has a beautiful gift and I would highly recommend him for any situation needing a photographer.

Austin photographed our wedding in November 2019 and couldn't have been happier with his service. Very professional and the picture are amazing. Highly recommend.

Austin was such an amazing photographer to work with! 2020 turned out to be quite a stressful year to plan a wedding (as I'm sure many COVID brides can attest to) but Austin definitely made things a little bit easier for us! He was extremely flexible in our plans, and even though we ended up having to postpone our wedding for a few months, he was still able to work with us and capture our special day. He was super responsive, easy to get a hold of (via email or text), and always went out of his way to make sure sure that we had all the photographs we could have hoped for from our special day. I also loved that he had a lot of experience and was able to recommend certain shots and angles (without being pushy). He was by far our favorite vendor to work with and I would recommend him to anyone!

Austin was absolutely great to work with; he was the photographer for our wedding and - from planning, to the engagement shoot, to the ceremony and to the reception - his work was everything we could have hoped for. Austin was very willing to work with any requests that we had and, when we didn't know exactly what we wanted in certain situations, he was right there with ideas to help. The photos (and we were give A LOT of photos) turned out great. We would definitely recommend Austin Connoyer Photography.

Not only does Austin provide amazing photos, he really helped us plan for our wedding day as well as kept us on schedule throughout the day. He was very personable, so taking photos with him was super easy. I remember the first thing he did when he saw me on my wedding day was give me a hug and congratulate me, which made a world of difference.

Austin was the best when taking our engagement and wedding photos! He understood our personalities and captured them in the photos, he listened to what we wanted and helped us make them beautiful. If your looking for beautiful and elegant he is your guy.

Austin is wonderful! We were lucky enough to work with him for both our engagement AND wedding photos and we love the work he did. He is very flexible and really listens to what you want. He met us in Texas for our engagement shoot and took the most beautiful pictures in 100+ heat and was so professional! He was very punctual and kept in great contact with us on our wedding day. He was just getting ready to pack up when I remembered a picture that I wanted. Austin unpacked his camera with a smile on his face to take that last picture. We can't recommend his work enough!

We had the best experience working with Austin! Planning a wedding is no easy task, but the easiest and best decision we made was choosing Austin to be our photographer. He worked with us throughout our engagement and even helped us map out a timeline for our big day. When our wedding day arrived, Austin put my mind totally at ease. He was extremely professional while still making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Even though he was unfamiliar with our locations, because our wedding was in my small hometown, he was extremely creative and took some really amazing shots. He even got to town early to do some location scouting. In addition to the artistic photos, we have many others that capture the unplanned, candid moments of the day. We cherish the beautiful photos that Austin took for us, and we wouldn’t change our experience for anything.

Austin was amazing! We absolutely loved both him and his work. He was so thoughtful and in tune throughout our whole wedding day. Not only was it so easy to work with him but the pictures turned out perfectly and we will treasure our wedding photos forever! We couldn't have had a better experience working with Austin and I couldn't recommend him more!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Austin. He was so easy and fun to work with. He was able to fully capture all the love and joy from our wedding day and captured all of the big and small moments from the festivities. We also worked with Austin to have a one-of-a-kind engagement photo shoot in our kitchen and loved how much he personalized that for us! We highly recommend Austin!

Thanks Katie! That engagement was so fun and original, I'll never forget it!

Austin was the perfect photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. We picked him because his portfolio showed a style that was more candid (less posed) and natural, and because he had experience with capturing action shots beautifully. We weren’t disappointed. He captured tricky action shots indoors (the lift in our wedding dance!) and outdoors and excelled at using the landscape to dramatically frame group and couple shots. We are not used to being photographed, let alone photographed while kissing, so it could have been really awkward but it wasn’t. Austin made us feel comfortable no matter how silly the pose or strange an idea.
After our great experience with our wedding, we asked Austin to photograph my grandparents’ home of 60 years after my grandfather passed and my grandmother moved into assisted living. Austin mentioned he has never done a project like this but he was up for the challenge. There are several reasons I would recommend Austin after the wedding, but even more so after our experience with the house shoot. Austin patiently captured every detail we asked for in their dark English Tudor, taking extra time to light each room. It was sort of an emotional experience and Austin’s easy-going and friendly personality made it so much more enjoyable. When the shoot was going longer than expected, I loved that Austin was completely transparent about the additional cost when I asked and totally reasonable. It’s hard to trust wedding vendors sometimes, but Austin was up-front and true to his word—completely trustworthy. It seemed like he was invested in memorializing this home for us—and was professional while making us feel prioritized.
Working with Austin was always so easy and we got great photos every single time, whether in a sunny field, dance floor, or darkened room. I would recommend Austin for capturing any occasion.
