Shortly after finishing up my military service I went to the City University of New York. While studying, I got a job working at a movie camera repair shop in Mid-Town Manhattan. This experience allowed me to become technically proficient in all movie cameras used on sets around the world today. Once moving to Austin, I started Mitchell Bahr Photography and finally found my niche. I love photographing weddings! Weddings allow me to cover every kind of shot, adapt to different lighting conditions on the fly and engage with new lovely people every week.

Mitch was truly AMAZING to work with. He shot our engagement and wedding photos and we are beyond pleased with how they turned out. He was great at keeping the experience casual and fun. We were also extremely appreciative of his flexibility with us as our wedding day plans changed with our news of expecting our first child. He was accommodating in capturing our new vision on our big day and ended up getting the ultimate photo that helped with our announcement of our little one.

Mitchell captured the essence of every moment beginning with an engagement session, followed by bridal portraits, and finally - the big day. His ability to blend the occasion with the beauty of nature is amazing. The images are truly emotional portraits. We could not be more pleased with the outcome.

I worked with Mitchell for my wedding and engagement photos. He was referred to me by one of my friends and I'm so happy she did. I absolutely love the photos and really glad I went with Mitch for both the shoots and will cherish the photos forever!

Finding a photographer is probably one of the biggest decisions you'll make when planning a wedding; 40 years from now, I want to look at my wedding photos and remember every forgotten detail; every friend and family member in attendance. I must have called over a dozen photographers and none impressed me as much as Mitch - starting with the very first phone call.
He sounded as excited about our wedding as we were, and that was so important to me. From the shot list, to the reassurance he gave as the date inched closer, I was relieved to know that the photography was not something I needed to worry about.
The day we had spend over a year planning finally arrived. Mitch and his team were at the venue before we even arrived - taking pre-ceremony photos and catching candid shots décor and of family and friends arriving. He gave clear instructions and insured that we didn't spend a ton of time taking pictures when we were supposed to be enjoying our day.
Within a few days, we received a "sneak peak" at our photos and I immediately patted myself on the back for selecting Mitch as our photographer. The photos blew me away. I am sure any woman can attest that we are the most critical of how we look in photos (no, we're not vain... we're just critical). Mitch made sure to position us (mainly me) in ways that looked flattering. Ladies, this is a HUGE plus!
My husband (still getting used to saying that) is a fireman and we had a local fire department bring an engine to the venue for a photo op. I was worried that the bright lights of the rig was going to make difficult shots, but Mitch knows what he is doing. They turned out absolutely amazing.
I can't speak highly enough about Mitch and his team. Do yourself a favor.... Stop looking for a photographer and just call him. You won't regret it.
Thank you Mitch!

Mitch and his team were amazing. For our engagement shoot he knew the best spots along SoCo to shoot at. We picked the perfect time of day to go around and he was willing to go above and beyond with the shots we wanted even if it meant getting that perfect ‘crossing the street’ shot with the amazing view of downtown. Our wedding photos and videos were amazing! I love all the work he did on our photos. He knew all the best angles and all the best spots of the venue and we got amazing shots because of it. Can’t stop watching our spotlight video as well. He and his team are definitely worth considering. Everyone we showed our videos and pictures to cant stop speaking highly of his work. I had a hard time selecting pictures to display and make copies off because they were all so good. He also delivers on time. It only took him about 6 weeks to get us a sneak peak of our wedding and 8 weeks for both photo and video shots. Thank you again Mitch and team for everything!

Bottom Line: just hire him! The photos are the one part of a wedding that lasts, so everyone is super particular about their photographer. Well, both my mom and my mother in law liked the photos, so I'm pretty sure we struck gold with Mitch and Kim. Mitch was incredibly communicative and helpful sorting out all the different pictures we wanted, but there are two factors where I think he went above and beyond. First, he and Kim stayed throughout the whole reception. I feel that, at most weddings I've attended, the photographer took off just after the ceremony or just after nabbing all the family/ceremony photos. But nope, we have some great photos of us dancing, and I can't dance, so that's saying something. Second, the turnaround was just under a week, which is crazy. I fully expected to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the pictures, but we had the whole batch of about 580 good ones literally within the week. Seriously, I'm very happy with the professionalism and the effort. 6 stars out of 5.

Mitch and his team were incredible! We actually didn’t go with him at first. We had another photographer lined up, but when it came time for him to give us our engagement photos he took our $1,000 deposit and ghosted us leaving us with no photos and me in tears. We reached out to our videographer for referrals since its so important that your photographer and videographer work well together and he sent us Mitch’s way. Mitch went above and beyond with his communication given what we had just gone through with our previous photographer. He was always on top of things and made us feel like we had made the right choice. When it came to the wedding he made us feel very taken care of and was ready to take any picture we asked of him! After the wedding he got our photos to us so fast and gave us so much amazing content to look through and re-live our wedding day through! I would 10/10 recommend working with Mitch!

Mitch is an absolutely amazing professional photographer. First of all, he could have very well charged us double the cost given that our wedding spanned multiple days, but he didn't. Mitch was incredibly attentive to the wedding planning details and easily reachable via phone or email. The pictures he took of my husband and me made me cry tears of joy, they were so beautifully, originally and artistically done. Additionally his video and co-photographer crew were incredibly fun and creative. Loved working with Kim! Loved the way the wedding video was put together! I am incredibly grateful. Mitch simply does superb work, you will be very happy! Will work with him again!

Mitch and his team were amazing! They were friendly and worked very hard (and in 106 degree weather) to capture my wedding day so beautifully and artistically! He did such a wonderful job of capturing all the details and memorable moments. Mitch and his team were professional and positive throughout my wedding day, and only made the day better! Mitch was also so kind and helpful in providing me color corrected photos that were originally black and white when I reached out after the wedding. Definitely go with Mitch!
