Kirby and Grant did a wonderful job capturing our wedding! We found them incredibly professional; they were well organized and helped us identify the important shots we wanted captured. We found taking photos with them to be very natural. They offered friendly suggestions without overwhelming us. Our engagement photos went so well that we asked them to photograph our Welcome Evening. They captured both the big "classic moments", cool candids, and party details. The editing was impressive and even across all our different lighting conditions. Highly recomend trusting Solasta with capture your big day!

Kirby and Grant did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Their style of photography and editing was exactly what I was looking for. They were both professional and fun and delivered so many photos that really captured the feel of the day. Now that our wedding has come and gone, I am so grateful to have these images to look back on forever.

Hello! We’re Kirby and Grant- owners of Solasta Media, a wedding photography company based in the heart of Austin, Texas. Our goal is to deliver wedding photos that are timeless, romantic, and cinematic. With years of experience working together as a photography team, we take pride in our craft, striving to create images that are not only stunning but also tell a story. As high school sweethearts who have been together for over a decade, we understand the importance of capturing your love to preserve your memories for the years to come. We specialize in candid style photography- we love to capture the genuine emotions and intimate moments that make each wedding day special, rather than relying on stiff posing. We want each and every photo we take to evoke the same emotions felt on your wedding day when you look back on them years later. We love ALL love, LGBTQ+ friendly! We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we would be honored to capture it for you.

hereal and romantic pictures to go with my enchanted forest themed wedding and they got it down. I can’t get over how beautiful our pictures came out. I’m obsessed. We got so many compliments on our pictures. They were also so amazing to work with and so sweet. They helped guide me and my husband with posing during the photoshoot. They made it so fun and stress free for us. I’ll never look for another photographer again. I would want them again for any future events and photoshoots we have in the future even if I have to drive 6 hours to them. Totally worth it! Thank you so much again Kirby and Grant for giving us such magical pictures!

rything light and easy, and we never once felt like we were in a fish bowl. They let us actually be present and enjoy our day while stealthily capturing every single moment. We were so impressed by how naturally they blended into the day and captured all our special moments. Nothing ever felt scripted, too posed, or like too much. We also loved their editing style and our final gallery. The photos felt naturally enhanced rather than overly edited, everything looked clean, true to life, and real. At the same time, they still gave us some beautiful and unique posed shots mixed in with all the candid moments, which was exactly the balance we were hoping for. We would recommend this team highly, without hesitation, to anyone getting married. Thank you, Solasta Media, for giving us memories we will keep forever.

e start, they were incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and truly understood the vision we had for our day. A couple days before ceremony, it snowed and left everything icy, but they didn’t miss a beat. They were absolute troopers, braving the conditions to make sure we still got the most beautiful photos. They made the entire experience, so fun and comfortable, and we genuinely had the best time with them. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

and posed shots with a romantic and natural vibe that truly felt like us. Kirby & Grant were both professional but also really warm and easy to be around, which made the whole process feel relaxed and fun. They were also super organized, and on the day of the wedding, we loved how they captured so many great moments without being intrusive or pulling us out of the moment. On top of all that, the pricing was fair and within our budget. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful and unique photos and a smooth experience!
