Austin was truly the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, he made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which was incredibly important to us. His ability to capture every moment—big and small—so beautifully was beyond anything we could have imagined.
Not only is Austin an incredibly talented photographer with an amazing vision, but he also knows weddings inside and out. He came prepared with everything from bobby pins to hairspray for last-minute touch-ups and even knew how to bustle my dress. His attention to detail and dedication went far beyond just taking photos—he was an invaluable part of our day.
The quality of his work speaks for itself, but what truly sets Austin apart is the way he cares about his couples. He went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful to have had him capture one of the most important days of our lives. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also kind, professional, and an absolute joy to be around, Austin is the one.
We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Austin as our wedding photographer, and we can't recommend him enough! We booked Austin nearly two years ago for our September 2024 wedding, and from the moment we saw his work, we knew he was the one. In fact, his stunning photos were one of the main reasons we fell in love with our venue after seeing the pictures he had taken there the year before.
Austin’s artistic style is truly unique and sets him apart from other photographers we considered. His work has a natural, candid quality that perfectly captures the emotion of each moment. But what has impressed us most is his ability to capture facial expressions that feel so authentic and true to each person. The only downside? (If you can even call it that) is that he’ll provide you with SO many beautiful images, it’s nearly impossible to pick favorites!
Not only is Austin incredibly talented, but he's also an absolute pleasure to work with. He’s funny, easygoing, and makes everyone feel at ease — something that was so important on our big day. His positive energy and approachable attitude were a hit with our entire bridal party. We’ve had friends book him for their weddings, and bridesmaids already eagerly looking forward to booking him for their own. We’ve basically started a fan club!
Lastly, Austin truly goes above and beyond for his couples, and it’s clear that he cares deeply about capturing every special moment. For example, we hired him to take photos at our rehearsal dinner, and although we were running incredibly behind schedule, he went out of his way to stay longer than planned so he could make sure to capture the speeches. That extra effort meant the world to us.
We are so grateful Austin was there to document our day and we’ll cherish our wedding photos forever. We can’t wait to see him again in May for a friend’s wedding in Naples, and we know it will be just as amazing as our own experience! Thank you, Austin, for everything. You’re the best!
Run don't walk to hire Austin for your wedding! Not only is Austin so clearly extremely talented with photography, but his personality and help throughout our wedding truly made our day so calm, at ease and magical! He was able to bring out our authentic selves through his photography and I couldn't stop smiling at every single photo and moment that he was able to capture throughout our day. Starting with the day before the wedding, Austin met my family at a local hat store to take hat making photo's. He immediately won ALL of us over with his welcoming nature and fluent Spanish, much to the surprise and delight of my Spanish-speaking grandparents! His attention to detail was beyond impressive and he even said "I don't want to leave until I have a photo of them branding your hat with your initials!" although he wasn't sure if his car parking time had expired! (Thanks again Austin!!) Fast forward to our Pre-Wedding portraits later that day, the session was truly magical. We spent an hour with Austin taking photos with the mountain as our background and he was so easygoing but clear and direct with what poses he thought would look good. His skill mixed with his fun personality put my camera-shy husband at ease, resulting in natural, joyful photos filled with laughter and genuine smiles! The hour truly flew by with all of us chatting and laughing! Next stop was the family dinner - Austin made quick work of squeezing in family portraits and getting tons of beautiful pictures with my nephew and I! In terms of our big day... I honestly have no words! Austin was a calming presence and invaluable resource. He was extremely communicative the entire day, letting me know when he was scouting photo spots in the morning and clarifying the schedule. He was also so helpful in terms of coraling the grandparents for photos and even helping me with my bustle and removing my bolero! But most of all, Austin was just a breathe of fresh air to be around. Last but not least, the PHOTOS! Numerous friends and family members have commented that they're the best wedding photos they've ever seen. My parents even commented "not only was he so fun and AMAZING to work with... but the photos are magazine worthy!" His combination of technical skill, personal warmth, and professional dedication made our wedding experience truly unforgettable. If I could choose again, I'd pick Austin every time! Thank you so much, Austin, for capturing the essence of our big day so authentically!
The minute we met Austin at our first video call, we knew we wanted to work with him! His personality and photography skills are unmatched and we were absolutely blown away by the beautiful photos he took at both our welcome party and our wedding!! Multiple friends and family came up to me throughout the day and after seeing our photos to exclaim how amazing Austin has been, not only at taking photos but knowing what everyone needed and even providing bandaids/hairbands! My husband and I are both not people that are drawn to the camera but seeings Austins beautiful portraits of our day and us have had us feeling like models!! Austin is truly the best and so so talented, we are so happy that we were able to have him as our photographer!!
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.
When planning my wedding, I knew photography was my top priority. The minute I saw Austin’s work, I knew he was the one. But Austin is more than just beautiful pictures, he’s a kind soul. When Hurricane Ian destroyed our venue and my wedding planner was dealing with clean up, he helped me sift through other venues to find the right fit for us. He came prepared on wedding day with more than just his camera. He was our number one hype man and made everyone comfortable in front of the camera. He captured the raw moments that you would have otherwise forgot about. Our one year anniversary just passed and as we sat down to revisit our pictures, I am more grateful now than ever that he is who we chose to capture our day! I wanted photos that were a true reflection of our love, pictures that would instantly take us back to that day, and Austin’s work did just that.
If we could rate Austin 10/5 stars my husband and I would. We were an out of state couple, who never met Austin before and he was so communicative before the wedding answering our questions along with absolutely blowing us away the day of. When you hire Austin, you don't realize you are getting much more than an amazing photographer. He comes into your wedding feeling as if he is a really organized member of the family outlining the day in the most organic way possible. Every person raved about him and have been dying to see the photos. When we just saw our preview our jaws dropped. I thought "am I a model?". My husband is not as comfortable in front of the camera as I am and he never felt tired of taking photos but, enjoyed each moment as Austin took pictures throughout the day. Austin captured who we were as a couple and individuals so perfectly we couldn't be happier with his work.
He was so outstanding our parents even asked if they can add to our review.
From the Father of the Groom:
This past weekend we celebrated a beautiful wedding of my Son Joseph and Daughter in Law Chelsea. What made this already spectacular weekend even better was the photographer that they chose. Austin was not only a great photographer but he was well organized, personable and made everyone so comfortable on what could be a stressful time. He was great and his creativity and ease were so refreshing compared to some others in the past. I would highly recommend him and I can't wait to see his many beautiful pictures. He made this already great day even better!
From the Mother of the Bride:
Austin and I had an immediate bond. I am a perfectionist and so is he. He watches everything and knows when to strike with his arsenal of cameras to capture the moment in an artistic way. He dialed into the bride to make sure she was always perfect, he’d move hair, spray her hair etc. He was the ultimate professional. So grateful he was on our team, a lifetime of memories, photos that captured the best of us and are priceless.
My message to Austin -
Hey Austin, I just wanted to say thank you again for everything. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Although, you are so much more than just a photographer. You have a gift for making people feel comfortable, like they’ve known you forever. It felt like one of our good friends was just taking pictures of us for the day. EVERYONE was raving about how great you are. We are so excited to see the pictures because we know they are going to be so amazing! We will take any chance going forward to book you to capture our life events!! Thank you so much 😊
Truly, words cannot describe how grateful we are to have chosen the most wonderful person to photograph the best weekend of our lives this past October 7, 2023. Austin navigated the torrential rain to capture the most incredible moments and evoked such a sense of calm in my husband and I throughout the entire weekend. Austin was MVP from start to finish - bringing his emergency kit of all the things to touch up my sisters, bridesmaids, groomsmen and my husband to make everyone look and feel their best. I didn't even think about whether he was capturing these moments I wanted because I knew he had them plus all these other events going on that I will forever cherish. From the first phone call I knew he was going to allow us to feel like we could be totally present in our day and he would handle the rest. Austin is a total professional and it's clear he is the leader that people look to because of his skill and amazing eye. Do not hesitate - book Austin ASAP it was the literal best decision we made for our wedding! He is the best at what he does and has such a wonderful way of making you feel beautiful and important on your big day.
If I could give 10 stars, I would. Austin was absolutely incredible to work with in every single part of the process. He's professional, organized, fun, and BEYOND talented. Our photos are so gorgeous and truly captured all of the magic of the day. Beyond that, Austin has such thoughtful attention to detail. He tied my husband's bowtie, he put my veil in my hair, and even had fashion tape for my bridesmaids! He took care of every little detail and anticipated every need. Additionally, he was a calming and kind presence during stressful moments of the day. He is the total package, and worth every single penny. Austin was truly a highlight of our wedding day.
It is hard to put into words how special Austin is. His work of course speaks for itself, but his talent, demeanor, and the presence he brings with him is something you have to experience for yourself to understand. I got married in May and still look at my wedding photos nearly every single day! I knew photography was my top priority because the day goes so fast but the pictures are forever. The way he was able to capture every moment so perfectly allows me to relive my wedding day over and over again, infinitely. Aside from the gift of 2,000 gorgeous photos (in the raw, candid, emotional, and real way that we wanted) - Austin was a savior of my wedding day. He is everything and everywhere all at once with a magic timeline in his mind and a goodie bag of anything you could ever need strapped to him at all times. I cannot say enough amazing things about him, there is simply no one better than Austin.
Austin was by far one of our favorite parts of our wedding! He is simply the best. He is a true artist and is able to capture emotion and raw moments as well as beautiful family portraits that we will have forever. He is also genuinely such a kind person (he helped my very pregnant sister buckle her shoes, brought extra bridal supplies- just in case, made our guests laugh, advocated for special moments, and so much more). He made us feel so comfortable and is also very professional. My husband and I both turned to each other after our wedding and said we were just so happy he was our photographer. It was an added bonus that we received our photos very promptly after our wedding and they are so beautiful. I would hire him again and again if I could! I wish nothing but the best for his future and he deserves every accolade!
On my wedding day I was feeling a little overwhelmed and it felt like stimulation overload...until Austin arrived. He was my favorite vendor and was able to make everyone in the room laugh and catch some amazing in the moment candid photos, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. I fell in love with his work because he makes his photos look so effortless and beautiful. My family and I are so happy with how our photos turned out and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I have had so many compliments on my photos and many people message me about his work. Thank you Austin!
Hands down the BEST photographer around—we were so lucky to have Austin as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos up in Michigan. He was our Florida touch to our Michigan wedding as we love to spend time in Florida during the winter and were exploring a FL wedding. After our initial “get to know you” call, I knew he was the one. What truly sold me was his style—he shared that a wedding isn’t meant to be a posed photo shoot and that his style was capturing the day as newlyweds enjoy and soak in every moment together. That sold me and let me tell you, he didn’t miss a beat! Austin is incredibly friendly, extremely talented and efficient. Not only that, but he’s a bonus wedding coordinator and keeper of all the things. He carried hair ties, bobby-pins, q-tips and my lipgloss all night and out my veil in my hair and just made sure everything flowed the entire day. He truly captured our wedding beautifully and had our entire album done the day after we returned from our honeymoon. INCREDIBLE. I cried. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for flying to Michigan twice to spend time capturing our love. As difficult as it was to get Scott to cooperate in August last year he sure smiled and was a happy husband for our wedding day. We can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to see how many happy couples are lucky enough to have you capture their love and beautiful weddings going forward. We hope our paths cross down the road and in the words of my husband, he’s the only photographer we’ll have capture our special moments. 1000% recommend Austin!
Austin is simply the best. When we started looking for a photographer, we wanted someone who would capture the raw, beautiful, in-between moments. Austin did just that and so much more. His work speaks for itself, but we are completely in awe by the beauty and quality of his photos. It felt like he was everywhere all at once, and it meant the world to us to go through the full album after the wedding and see how he captured not just our joy as bride and groom, but all the guests' joy and the small moments in between. But even more than his (absolutely incredible) photography skills that made us feel like movie stars, having Austin at our side for the wedding weekend was such a gift. He is so compassionate, calm, reassuring, and with a wonderful sense of humor that keeps you present, laughing, and focusing on all the right things. It was like having another best man/wedding planner, he just knew intuitively all the steps that needed to happen to create the vision we wanted and he was there to support every step of the way. He made us and our families so comfortable, and it's reflected in the smiles and genuine happiness in the photos. I felt so much more reassured as a bride with Austin beside me throughout the day. If we could just hang out with him every weekend, we absolutely would. Thank you Austin for being you and for capturing our weekend so perfectly!!
Look no further, Austin is THE BEST photographer around. Our photos are stunning and even better than I hoped and imagined they would be! He captured the day exactly how I saw it through my eyes. We will cherish these forever. And besides being incredibly talented Austin is so much more than just a photographer. He was an absolute a dream to work with throughout the entire process. He helped us through some challenges at our venue and then eventually our wedding got cancelled due to Hurricane Ian. We knew we wanted to keep Austin on our team regardless of where the new wedding would be. He kept in contact with us all while dealing with the impacts the storm had on his family, friends and community. Thankfully we were able to find a new venue and date that worked with his schedule and had no issue with the 5 hour drive required for him. Austin makes you feel like a friend, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, kept me hydrated all day (ha!) and you was always there to offer a helping hand. You need scissors? He has them in his pocket. Bustling a dress? He’s there. Need some light? He’s there with the camera flash in. I am just in complete awe. Like I said, look no further, I cannot recommend Austin enough!!
I must admit, I've been putting off writing this because I don't know if I'll ever have the right words to describe our incredible experience with Austin. My husband and I first saw him in action at my brother- and sister-in-law's wedding in 2019, and his energy and attention to detail was (and is!) truly unmatched. His bag is akin to Mary Poppins's—he has an artillery of those must-have-but-of-course-didn't-remember-to-bring items that saved the day. And when we got engaged one year later, it wasn't even a question that he would be our photographer. From our engagement shoot to the rehearsal dinner and wedding day, Austin managed to capture it all while making us feel so comfortable and at ease. We are more camera-shy than most, but we felt like old pals within minutes. The laughs, the happy tears...everything. He is so much more than a photographer, too; when my mom was panic-watching videos of how to bustle my dress, he immediately got down (on the ground!) and figured it out. He was easily the best decision we made during our entire planning process, and I'm happy to call him a friend. Thank you for everything, Austin!
If you are on the search for a wedding photographer I’ve got great news the search is over and you’ve found your guy. Austin turned out to be the wedding MVP. His skills as a photographer are second to none, and he was able to capture such amazing moments. His photos are not just pictures they are art, which the wife and I will proudly showcase around the house for the rest of our lives. What makes Austin so special isn’t just the final product. Austin truly cares about you, and wants you to not only have the best photos, but the best day and he goes out of his way to make that happen. Austin has a warm and vibrant personality that makes you feel calm and comfortable while around him. This ability to make you feel at ease really brought out the best in the photos. I am someone who does not like taking photos and as a result I don’t always get the best photos. Austin did not let that happen to me, he was so loose and calm and found ways to make us feel comfortable which resulted in some truly stunning photos. Austin’s calm demeanor was also amazing to be around on what is a pretty stressful day. His professionalism was outstanding as well, he solved some small problems such as a complicated bustle and tying the groomsmen’s bow ties which was 1000% not his responsibility, to some larger issues like communicating with the lighting vendor when he noticed the light colors weren’t in line with the theme my wife wanted. Austin is a one of kind photographer and person, you will not be disappointed by him. In fact, I can guarantee he will blow you away and you’ll find this review sold him short. Because it is impossible to put into words all the things he did for my wife and I as well as how good he made us feel on our day, Austin is a star and hiring him is a must.
Is there any way I can give 10 stars??? Austin is not ‘just’ a photographer. He’s the uncle who knows how to speak to your flower girl and ring bearer so they smile at the camera. He’s the wedding planner who has hair pins to secure your veil, and scissors to cut off the dangling thread on your dress. He’s a friend who will politely tell your bridesmaid she is causing unnecessary stress (LOL). And DUH – he is the very BEST in the industry. We wanted to capture the moment & emotion from our wedding. That’s exactly the GIFT that Austin will show you. It’s as if he’s just an observer who happens to ALWAYS be there at the right moment, at the right time, in the perfect lighting and angle! And if you’re like me who is nervous about being in front of a camera, Austin will immediately make you feel comfortable – my tummy knots just melted away after our first exchange of ‘hello.’ I am STILL crying when looking through our wedding photos, and you will certainly know what I mean if you have the absolute pleasure of working with him.
When I first started out in our wedding planning journey, finding a photographer was a top priority. I knew the vision and the outcome of the photos we wanted, and seeing Austin's previous work pulled it all together for me. In my opinion, his photos are timeless - they will always be beautiful and truly capture and evoke emotion.
Finding someone who creates gorgeous photography is one thing, but also who makes you feel incredibly comfortable and can become a true friend during this process is a different level of skill. Austin is easy to talk to and makes being in front of the camera fun. We left our engagement shoot on cloud 9 and couldn't wait to "hang out" again with Austin for our wedding.
Austin is top tier - did I mention this guy made it through a HURRICANE just days before our wedding and still somehow made it?! I couldn't believe I was getting phone calls from Austin while he was living through the hurricane, keeping me updated on his status and worst case scenario back up plans - he is a true professional. He booked at least 4-5 different flights out of different airports in Florida to make it to Boston, which he did!
On top of insanely gorgeous photos, we gained a new friend - if Austin is available for your date, hire him!! You will not be disappointed.
We truly can’t say enough good things about Austin! From the moment he arrived to the last song of the night, Austin helped to make our wedding day perfect. He made us feel so comfortable (cracking jokes, having bobby pins in his camera bag to fix my hair, going on a hunt for our missing invites to photograph the flat lays) but also managed to so seamlessly fade into the crowd so that we completely forgot that we were being photographed. Best of all, he had over 1,700 absolutely amazing photos ready for us in less than two weeks! Of all of our vendors, he is at the very top of the list of who I will recommend to future brides!
Austin is the most perfect photographer. Not only does he take amazing and beautiful pictures but he was also perfectly in tune with the day. He was truly always two steps ahead of schedule and even our wedding planner. He also thinks of everything and can do anything. He tied a complex bridesmaids dress, put in my veil, and even helped put a bandaid on my foot. He’s the perfect person to have as an important part of your wedding day. Everyone who interacted with him raves about how awesome he was. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed and is just generally great to be around. I cannot say enough things about how great Austin is! He is by far the best! Highly recommend!
Austin is by far the best photographer we ever had! We hired him for our engagement photo shoot and were so grateful he was available to do our wedding day early this month! If you want to look back at our wedding photos with a big smile on your face choose Austin! Austin's approach with his clients are to build a nice relationship and we love this! We felt so comfortable with him since we got a chance to meet him a couple years back. He made us laugh and was truly in my corner when I needed someone during the morning of the wedding. Simple things like opening my lipstick and not messing up my nails, to being prepared with a full wedding kit with safety pins for bridesmaid dresses or any mishaps that occurred, to asserting his opinion when we needed it most regarding my bridal bouquet. He is fantastic! We can't thank him enough for working with us and we look forward to hiring him in the future once we have kids and build our family! Thank you, Austin! We love our photos!
Austin is hands down the best photographer you could ever imagine. He is extremely prepared, knowledgeable and will help you with just about anything you need on your wedding day. He has the best sense of humor and will help you feel comfortable and calm during a typically stressful day. He navigated my entire wedding day and made sure everything went seamless. I truly can’t recommend him enough. Thank you so so so much Austin!!!
Austin is a motivated, prepared, professional who brings life to any shoot. He really goes above and beyond for his clients in work product but also by accommodation. Austins portfolio is a nice refresher. I loved seeing editorial, stylized photos among fresh, light and airy pictures. What really took the cake was Austin himself. He was just as excited about my engagement shoot looks as I was. I would highly recommend working with Austin. You will be in great hands!
Hands down best vendor! I knew I wanted to splurge on photography because pictures last a life time, and Austin sure delivered! First, the pictures are absolutely beautiful! It’s not just the quality of the shoots, but also the personality and fine details the photographer brings to the table that you should consider. Austin knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and move at a pace which makes everything efficient and on time! He has everything on hand, knows how to bustle a dress, and knows how to coordinate a large wedding party when shooting! When we didn’t know how exactly to cut the cake, Austin literally stepped in and helped us LOL! Thank you Austin for being flexible about Covid, and shooting our engagement pics and wedding pics on Nov 5 2021 at La Playa Beach and Golf resort!
Stop your photographer search right now and hire Austin! He is a pleasure to work with, and was an absolute superhero on the wedding day, knowing exactly where and when to do EVERYTHING! And his skills and talents and fantastic personality extend so far beyond his amazing photography! Keeping the bride (my daughter) relaxed and happy for the entire wedding day was such a blessing, and on top of that he ran the show for her huge bridal party and had the answers to everything! Austin is a very special find who gets our highest recommendation.
Austin is not only the most talented photographer, but he was also the go to guy for anything and everything anyone needed on our wedding day. Part of making our day so special was having Austin and his team to capture it. I honestly could not imagine what the night would’ve been like if we had gone with anyone else. HIGHLY recommend working with Austin!
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! We met Austin in Florida almost two years ago when we were doing our engagement photos, and we knew we had to have him for our NY wedding. He is extremely personable and makes everyone feel comfortable. His photos are gorgeous and we are so happy with how they came out! Everyone that was part of the wedding was raving about him! He is truly the best!
Listen, the quality of Austin's photos speaks for itself. What impressed me most about Austin is how comfortable he made me--and all our guests--on our wedding day. I am extremely camera shy, so I was looking for a photographer who felt like an old friend I could relax around. I had never met Austin in person before, but he immediately fit right in, joking around with my friends, fixing my mom's dress with a safety pin, and getting to know my family. He also knew when to capture candid moments and when to step in and give direction to get a better shot. If you are deciding between quality photographers and being at ease is an important consideration for you, choose Austin.
Couldn't have been more thrilled with Austin! He was such a pleasure to be around the day of our wedding! He made everything feel very natural and not forced. High recommend!! My entire wedding party also absolutely loved him and his staff.
Austin Trenholm is the most personable, creative, and reputable photographer ever! My husband and I hired him to photograph our intimate ceremony at South Seas on Captiva Island. Our ceremony was on the beach and was accompanied with unpredictable weather. Prior to and during our ceremony, we endured 40 mph winds at the North side of the island. Throughout the day, Austin remained cool, calm, and collected. Looking back, I could have never predicted our destiny of having Austin there to photograph it all. I could not imagine a our whirlwind of a day without him. I think it is very fitting to say I was blown away by Austin's composure and talent after seeing the magic he created for our photos! We love you, Austin!
Look no further - this is your wedding photographer. But not only is he your wedding photographer. He's going to perfectly place your veil on your head because your bridal party doesn't know how to. And then he's going to take the veil off your head after photos without messing up your hair that took an hour to do. He's going to fix the bridesmaids hair that's out of place before he snaps a photo. He's going to bustle your dress before you walk into your reception and redo it when it comes out after dancing. He's going to fix your shoe when it breaks. He's going to capture moments you didn't even know existed. He's going to make everyone feel comfortable in front of a camera. He's much more than your wedding photographer, but I am sure glad he is one!!! I had people literally ask me, "what are these Vogue photos disguised as your wedding photos?!" He's incredible. Hire him now, your search is done.
Let me keep this very simple for you. I am VERY late on writing this review but I have stayed in touch with Austin since my wedding. I have my wedding photos all over my house, On Christmas cards, and get compliments almost 2 years later. HIRE HIM.
Let me make this simple for you. If you are considering booking Austin, save yourself some time and book him immediately. I cannot stress this enough!
I initially met Austin when he photographed a wedding I was in, and I was so incredibly impressed by how he handled himself, a large bridal party, and time constraints. Then I saw the pictures and was floored. I knew he was my photographer before I was even engaged! Austin is the total package - obviously a talented artist, a day-of coordinator, and even assumes some of the MOH duties.
Fast forward to 2020, COVID strikes and complicates the entire wedding planning process. Austin was flexible and supportive. Leading up to the day, he kept me in the loop with his travel (my wedding was in Mass), and even booked another photographer just in case. He did a great job easing my mind of something out of my control.
Austin arrived early to my wedding day, and used that time to take beautiful landscape photos that I will be framing as wall art. When he got back to our room, he was such a calming presence and felt like just a friend who was there to snap some photos. The second photographer he brought with him, Jared Haskell, spent time with my husband and his best man and they said the same (this coming from a groom who hates photos). While getting ready, Austin kept me on track - he pinned my veil, had double sided tape readily available, and when I asked the question "what should I be doing?" he always had the right answer. Without Austin, I would have forgotten to brush my teeth before heading out the door! After the ceremony, he even bustled my dress.
The photos themselves are absolutely incredible. He managed to capture the day exactly as we felt it, and out of thousands of photos, there isn't ONE that I dislike. I should mention, I hate how I look in photos - and so does my husband! Austin made us feel so comfortable and it truly shows in the photos. He gave us classic formals that we will treasure forever, but I am so impresssed with how he captured the "inbetween" moments. I should also say - we did not do a first look, and we were done with all portraits/formals in 45 minutes. We have so many photos, that I find myself finding new favorites daily.
My husband was apprehensive about photos (what guy isn't), but he now says that his favorite part of the day was taking our portraits together, and it was *THE BEST MONEY WE SPENT* on the wedding. Guys, that is HUGE! And I couldn't agree more.
The flowers will die (truthfully, I didn't love the way mine turned out - but Austin photographed them so beautifully that I didn't even care), no one remembers the stationary, but your photos are forever. Austin will not only make you feel like the center of the universe on the day of your wedding, but will also capture your most special moments in the most beautiful way. My only regret is that we didn't do an engagement session to spend more time with Austin and his incredible talent.
Check "photographer" off of your to-do list - you won't find better than Austin!
Congratulations, your search for the ideal wedding photographer has ended! You can now check it off your wedding planning to-do list and move on to the next item. You’ve found what you’re looking for - the right talent at a fair price.
Austin will prep you for photos beforehand as much or as little as you’d like. (He even didn’t mind going through my 20 page slide slide of ideas and inspiration). Worried about how to feel comfortable and look good for your photos? No need with Austin! He makes EVERYONE feel comfortable and gives professional guidance in posing without making you feel awkward (he literally teaches other wedding photographers classes on how to do this!).
To top it off, Austin isn’t just capturing your most precious moments, he is an experienced wedding day guru. I’ll never forget getting a stain on the train of my dress on our way to the ceremony and Austin whipped out a Tide pen and went to work.
He’s not just a hired photog for your big day, he’s a friend.
We moved to Florida a week after our wedding (not just because of Austin, of course...or was it? 😉) He’s taken my boudoir photos, our engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos and I plan on hiring him for all family photos for the rest of my life.
You will NOT be disappointed. On the contrary, immediately following your wedding day, when you can’t believe it’s over and you want to relive it all over again, he will send you gorgeous photos to pour through and see all of the little details and precious moments.
Book him now before he’s already booked for your date!
Look no further and hire Austin!!! For starters, Austin was a breeze to deal with. He is super quick to respond, will give you vendor recommendations and make sure you have everything you need. On my wedding day, he showed up early, had hairspray, bobby pins, pasties and even put my veil on. Before we got to the venue he took on the role as a coordinator and my therapist (lol). In addition to all this ... we got our photos 5 days later and they are PERFECT. We look like we came out of a magazine. My bridal party, parents and guests were so impressed. I cannot recommend him enough, it’s evident he has so much experience and is best in his trade.
Austin is the best!!! Our wedding day was so perfect and it was so amazing to have a photographer that makes you feel so comfortable, like you’re with a friend or family member! He made my husband and I feel so relaxed and pushed us out of our comfort zone to get some incredible photos we’ll cherish forever. He also saved the day with some bobbi pins and when my bustle came undone just before the reception. The man can do it all (including corralling our huge, chaotic families for photos)!! One sweet touch is our package included engagement photos so we got to know him before our wedding day. Thank you Austin for making the day so special.
Stop your search now and hire Austin!! There are no words to explain how incredible of a person and photographer he is! My now husband and I as well as everyone in our wedding party loved spending the day with Austin and felt like old friends by the end. His skills at his craft are insane, and he captured so many amazing photos throughout the day. He was professional, fun, and knew where to take the best photos and how to pose and coordinate people. We got an awesome mix of fun photos that show our personalities, sweet, romantic photos, and artistic ones that belong on the cover of a magazine. He knew how to bustle my dress, put in and take out my veil, and even instructed my bridesmaids on the use of boob tape 😂. To say he was well prepared for any situation we may have encountered is an understatement. To top it off, we got our photos back in five days!!! Austin is everything you could ever dream of in a photographer and so much more and we plan on using him any time in the future where we need a photographer. Do not hesitate to book him you will not find better!!!
Our experience with Austin was INCREDIBLE. My wedding was scheduled for May, but since COVID hit, we had to postpone to August. Not only did he understand and move everything to a later month, but he also dealt with our venue cancelling on us 3 weeks before the wedding date. Austin was so understanding of all the changes and worked with us so well! He made sure that he knew every detail so he could serve us as best as he could. We were so impressed with his service and willingness to help us create a unique vision. He even came 2 hours early and stayed past the allotted time he was suppose to be there for. Delivered the editted photos to us in LESS THAN 2 weeks with such great quality. He is definitely your go-to photographer! Thank you, Austin!!!
Austin exceeded our wildest dreams! We hired Austin for a last minute elopement session during Covid 19, and our minds were blown. From start to finish he was punctual, flexible and detail oriented. His calm and creative demeanor allowed the entire session to be so "un-staged" and chill. His direction and guidance led to such naturally beautiful photographs we will cherish for a lifetime. Austins work is clean, timeless and ELEGANT and he has a very cool confidence about him that put us at immediate ease in front of the camera. We cried tears of joy when the photos were received and we truly cannot wait to work with Austin again!
Austin is hands down amazing and the absolute best at what he does! We had the best time with him and his team on our NYE Wedding. Austin is incredibly professional, kind and not to mention downright hilarious, which comes in hand when trying to get a rowdy bridal + groom party to pose for a few photos! The turn around time on our images was quick and the photos are nothing short of STUNNING. His work speaks for itself. I really could write a book on the reasons to hire Austin but I think you get the point.
P.S. Every guest at my wedding said he was the only person they would ever use, that is how fantastic he was.
Austin is an incredible photographer. I met him the day of our wedding, and he immediately put me and everyone in the wedding party feel completely comfortable. He has a great sense of humor and brings so much joy to the experience, and you can tell from the genuine happiness he captured in all of our photos! All of our bridal party commented on how much they enjoyed working with him. Not only is he an incredible photographer, but he helped in so many ways-including bustling my dress and coming prepared with extra hairspray. When we got the pictures we were absolutely blown away-they were stunning. He captured so many beautiful moments-from portraits to great reception candids. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
This review is almost a year late, but as I was looking over my wedding photos before my anniversary I was remembering what an amazing job Austin did. The photos he took of our wedding were simply a work of art. Every time I see them I am even more in awe with how wonderful and beautiful they came out. Photos aside, Austin was truly a great personality to be around on such a stressful and tiring day. He wrapped up my photos quickly at my request so we could make the cocktail hour and even helped put on my veil before the ceremony. He was attentive, efficient and all around a nice guy. He is a true pro and I highly, highly recommend him. He captured our special day perfectly.
Austin was such an integral part to making our day an amazing experience. He is not only a wonderful photographer and makes taking the pictures enjoyable, he is like a wedding coordinator too. From buttoning and bustling my dress to putting on the guy’s corsages, he made sure every detail was perfect. He made everyone feel so comfortable while still controlling a large family! We can’t thank him enough and know we made the best choice for our photographer!
We hired Austin for our engagement photos last year, and our destination wedding this past month. Myself and my husband are not big fans of our photo being taken and Austin made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos. We knew we had hired the right photographer.
We had a small issue during our first few months of wedding planning and needed to find a new venue after our first venue fell through. Austin jumped on the phone with us immediately and helped refer some really great venues to us, including the one we ended up choosing.
On our wedding day, Austin was there for whatever we needed. He helped keep the pace throughout the day, captured all of the photos very quickly and efficiently. We had our puppy with us in our wedding and Austin was so great with him. He was able to capture many amazing shots with him actually looking at the camera which is no easy feat.
Once we received our photos we were blown away by how awesome they looked. He truly captured the happiness of our wedding day, and we could not be more thankful to have had him with us on our wedding day.
“Oh my gosh, I love this one! I didn’t even know he was taking pictures then!” – me, reviewing our wedding photos. Austin is hands down the best wedding photographer I have ever come across. A true professional, he captures moments that you didn’t even think would be photographic and somehow translates that to true love emulating from an image. Of course we got the necessary portraits, but some of my favorite photos are those were Austin captured us just being us. We felt so natural and comfortable with him and that is definitely reflected in the results. We got married on a pretty overcast day, but you would never know – his editing skills are top notch and the entire bridal party looks like they are glowing.
Austin – thank you for perfectly capturing our best day ever. We can’t wait to work with you again!
Austin has such an incredible portfolio and so many stellar reviews that I had HIGH expectations going into our wedding day, and he still exceeded all of them! I knew from our first phone call that I wanted to work with him—he is so personable and kind, and I instantly knew he would be capable to handle my wacky family. On our wedding day, he was our photographer but also an assistant, a schedule-maker, a shoe-holder, and a friend. He showed up early and instantly was swooping in to help, all the while making my bridesmaids and family feel so comfortable. We were laughing the whole time we worked with Austin, and that total joy comes out in all of our portraits. We are absolutely obsessed with our photos and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Austin is everything you could want in a wedding photographer - obviously the photographer, but also a friend, an assistant, a hair-fixer-upper, a right-hand-man, and so much more. I first found him through social media and instantly fell in love with his work. I was initially disappointed to see that he was based in Florida, but THANKFULLY it turned out he travels a ton for his work. My wedding was on Cape Cod and I was so lucky Austin was more than happy to come up North (actually TWICE! He even made time to squeeze in my engagement session while in MA last June.) His work is exquisite and truly shows his talent in capturing the moments, posing us and knowing how to make me so less awkward than I usually am, getting the perfect candids, and editing them all to perfection. Aside from his extreme talent behind the lens, Austin is one of the kindest people I have met. It can't be an easy task being a wedding vendor and working with brides all the time, but Austin made me feel comfortable, eased any stress, and truly was like another friend along for our crazy wedding day. Could not recommend him any more! (Plus..he's great with dogs and captured my pup despite his high boxer energy and crazy faces!)
So, this review is a little delayed (Sorry, Austin!), but we could not say enough positive things about Austin and his photography skills. Our wedding was nearly 3 months ago, and people are still coming up to us and telling us how personable and great our photographer was! We could not agree more, nor be any happier with how our photos turned out. He captured every emotion of the day so perfectly, and even got my husband to flash some genuine smiles! Not to mention he carries a small arsenal of bridal supplies for any mishaps/touch-ups needed (hairpsray, bobby pins, etc.) Looking through our pictures allows us to relive our day all over again, and we would choose Austin again in a heartbeat. Worth EVERY penny!
As a bride I did a lot of research when it came to picking my photographer, & when I say a a lot... i mean A LOT.I was the bride that spent hours looking through photographers featured albums, spent hours talking to them on the phone, reading millions of reviews from past brides & made tons of pros & cons lists. I went back & forth with my decision, until.. I spoke with Austin on the phone. He truly loves what he does & you can tell the second you speak with him! He makes you feel so comfortable & has the best sense of humor!! After I got off the phone call with him my pros & cons list went out the window because I couldn't think of one con about picking Austin. Speaking from a bride who did her research & saw the end result of our beautiful wedding pictures... Austin is the BEST in the business. Wether your a bride like me who over analyzes every decision, or a bride who wants the reviews to do her work for her... STOP SEARCHING, & pick Austin. You will not regret it!! Our wedding pictures are beyond anything I could have ever imagined!! Straight out of a magazine! ( My husband & I are no models)!! He is so talented & makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He makes sure to direct you just enough to get the perfect shot but also lets you feel like the camera isn't even there! He truly is an artist & has an eye for fine art. He turns wedding pictures into just that.. fine art! Trust me when I say that you need to stop searching & give austin a call!
I will never be able to thank Austin enough for all the memories he gave us to hold onto from our perfect day! <3
I couldn't say enough about my experience with Austin! The day I called him to see if it was a fit, I knew he was the photographer I wanted to work with. He made me feel extremely comfortable over the phone and he was extremely professional. I loved his work online, but seeing the photos from our wedding day come to life was amazing! I was so worried I wouldn't look good in the photos as I had gained 10lbs since ordering the dress, but Austin did a great job capturing our memories and making me feel beautiful. Not only was he a great photographer, but he also helped out in other areas like putting on my veil and helping with my dress/overskirt. My husband is not big into taking photos and Austin really helped keep him engaged and keep the photo portion to a minimum so my husband was happy about that. I honestly can't say enough about working with him, if you have the chance I would strongly recommend working with him!
Austin is an amazing photographer. When we first came across his Instagram and website, we were taken by how beautiful and natural all of his pictures look. We booked him right away and then did an engagement shoot in Florida with him a little over a year before our wedding. It was a great way to get to know him, get comfortable with him, and get a sense for how he works. Our wedding was in Brooklyn, so Austin flew up to New York and came to shoot some of our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding day. He was so much fun to work with and partnered seamlessly with our videographers on the day of our wedding. As people who don't feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, Austin put us completely at ease. We are SO happy with how all our pictures turned out. We highly recommend him!
I already did this once. But because Austin was awesome I’m doing it again because I’m not sure it worked. Austin was simply amazing. He kept everyone relaxed and took truly the most amazing pictures. I can’t explain the amazingness of the pictures so you must follow him on social media. He has just the most amazing layed back personality. And my precious perfectionist daughter(bride) researches everything and came back with Austin. I’m telling you. Seriously. Go with Austin Trenholm. I’d do it again.
There are truly not enough words to describe what an amazing photographer Austin is. From the moment we begun working with him, I knew we made the best decision we could for our wedding. My photographer was the most important vendor for me to choose and as I had hoped, he was also my favorite vendor. Opting to fly Austin up from Florida to New York/ New Jersey, I would do so again. His photography style and end result is impeccable and flawlessly matched with how I envisioned my wedding. My engagement photos came out beautifully and Austin very generously made the time to fly to NY for a session. The photos were received back plentiful and quickly. He made both of us feel so comfortable and was great directing on site. He was excellent with communication throughout my entire engagement. He was happy to take any direction that I provided prior to the wedding on shots I felt strongly on. Austin ensured to arrive in NJ earlier than needed and took the time to stop by the venue to become familiar with the sites I had discussed. Austin was early on the day of the wedding and brought a wonderful second shooter. His professionalism is unmatched and the amount of compliments I received about him on the day of was endless by everyone involved in the wedding. He made sure to capture everything we discussed and then some. He came overly prepared on the day of for anything that might arise and took charge to maintain the best schedule possible and keep us on track throughout the day. I really can not put into words how amazing he was on the day of, far and above any of my expectations. He was the MVP of the wedding. My photos came back in record time and far exceeded my dreams. I really do not feel I could've made a better decision. I can't wait to have a family and have Austin shoot us again.
We had the absolute best experience working with Austin. From day 1, he was extremely easy to get in touch with. He truly makes you feel like you are his top priority. He was full of amazing ideas and not to mention his incredible talent. I knew as I was searching for a photographer and I kept comparing every other photographer’s photos back to his that I would not be happy with anyone else. And he did not disappoint! We did an engagement shoot about 7 months prior to our wedding and got our pictures back within 2 weeks and loved every single one. We could not have been more relaxed knowing that we would absolutely love our wedding day photos as well. The wedding day was an absolute dream. He was so much fun to work with and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also brought an amazing assistant with him. He also has so much experience with working weddings that he was able to help me place my veil and take it out, without ruining my hair, and bustle my dress for the reception. Thanks to Austin, we will be be able to remember how beautifully perfect this day was for the rest of our lives!
Wow. Where do I even begin to find the words to express what a joy it was to work with Austin? I came across Austin’s work when I saw a college friend post engagement photos that he had taken and I was SOLD! When my now husband put that ring on my finger, I was writing to Austin on Facebook within the month and I knew that I wanted to work with him.
Let me just say that I got married at the New York Botanical Garden in – you guessed it - New York, where there are no shortages of wedding photographers, but none like Austin. He’s the whole package: his talent, artistic eye, demeanor, friendliness, professionalism and willingness to contribute in whatever way he can (carrying dog treats, steaming clothing, etc.) --- he helped make this year such an enjoyable experience and hiring him from Naples was definitely one of the best decisions I made.
From the second I reached out to him, I was impressed with his enthusiasm and rapid response time – no matter what method I reached out (email, facebook, instagram message). As a bride in crazy planning mode with a million questions and stress overload, this was so incredibly helpful. As we were based on opposite ends of the east coast, he was happy to e-meet via Skype and answer any and all questions, which put me at such ease, I didn’t look any further.
When it came time to take our engagement photos, I was really crossing my fingers Austin could get more than an hour of photos out of my now husband as he didn’t want to take them and thought it would be “a waste of a Saturday.” Well – major success!! He had such an amazing time and was so relaxed with the whole experience that we got a solid 5 hours+ of an engagement session, including shots with our dog. Austin was awesome at engaging us both, making it fun and framing the perfect shot. We still talk about that day fondly. Austin even turned around hundreds of edited photos in under two weeks and they were everything and more.
Let me also just add that leading up to it, Austin played part stylist and helped me narrow down my wardrobe choices according to those that would photograph the best and during the session, he also helped with making sure my hair was perfect in the shots – that’s major helpful!!
When the wedding day came, there was a moment that we were running VERY behind (by no fault of Austin, I kept changing my hair and was overly indecisive on beauty, there was traffic, etc.) and he was the breath of fresh air I needed to keep me calm and bring me back to center. He also had no qualms about helping out however he could behind the scenes – steaming my veil, my friend’s dress, etc.
I received my wedding photos (over 1000!) in a week’s time and I was FLOORED!! Due to my running behind, he had such a narrow window to take first look and portrait shots and yet somehow, he got some stellar, absolutely breathtaking photos that I can’t wait to have framed! I trusted him implicitly to choose the location for the first look and portraits and it paid off in spades. Gosh – can we do this again??
Austin – from the bottom of my heart, thank you for capturing this beautiful moment and giving me photos that allow me to relive the experience and can transport us back to the day.
If you’re still reading this review – what are you waiting for? Hire him!!!
Words simply cannot describe how happy with are with how our wedding photos turned out. They are incredibly stunning!! Not only are our photos absolutely breathtaking, but Austin was simply awesome to work with on our wedding day. He made us feel so comfortable and he captured the most honest and natural shots of our special day. I don't know how he was able to capture some of the shots he captured, but he is truly an incredibly talented photographer and I highly recommend him.
Austin was awesome throughout our entire process, from when I called him trying to pick the "right" photographer (from 2000 miles away) to showing up early on the day of the wedding….he even came prepared with a wedding day emergency kit and had dress tape when last minute my dress decided it did not want to stay put! The pictures we received are amazing and though and I don't feel that we got 2000 of the same picture at a slightly different angle like you sometimes see, a good photographer gives you only the best shots when they go through and edit them. Aside from our venue our photographer was the biggest part of our budget and it was well worth it, when we got back from our honeymoon and looked at our pictures it felt like we were re-living that day again.
