About San Luis Obispo California Wedding & Portrait Photographer

About AUstyn Elizabeth

a San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographer

I believe the truest version of your love looks like you. And so should your photos.

I don't have to teach you how to look good in photos. When we change the focus away from how we look or "where do I put my hands"... and instead, we focus on the love you share and this person you get to spend your life with,... that is where magical things happen.

I went to school for commercial photography (think studio work, marketing photos, images you see on billboards and magazines). But I changed gears after graduation, because I wanted to document what was real.

I've been photographing weddings since 2006... and the thing that lights up my soul is how humans live, love and celebrate their people.

 

My priority while photographing is to make space for you and your loved ones, to allow you to experience and feel fully comfortable being yourselves. Because when you feel at ease while I'm in the room, magical imagery is born.

Hi. I'm Austyn.

I’ve been obsessed with creating art from the human experience. I like how the light dances around you as you say your vows, or the giggle you share with your partner during a toast, or the brief moment you squeeze your grandma’s hand and whisper, “I love you.”

 

Above all, I feel so honored and grateful to be on your team during this beautiful season of life, providing support that allows you to exhale and simply live. Time will fly by, but these photos allow you to relive every beautiful detail of your wedding and of the people you cherish more than anything, forever.

 

On a personal note, I live on a little hillside ten minutes from the beach on California's Central Coast. I'm married to one hunk of a man who likes to fly me around in little airplanes. We have two kiddos who we adore and love doing life with. Everyday I strive to live more intentionally, constantly trying to slow down and allow myself to experience the most little and mundane things... because I know beauty happens in those spaces too. I have a thing for people and their stories. Photography is what allows me to preserve and share them.

While your preparing your own vows, these are mine to you...

I promise to always be true

We form a bond that develops into a trustworthy relationship, allowing our time together to feel organic and effortless.

I promise to capture what's real

Human emotion is at the center of every image I capture. My photographs are inspired by your deeply felt moments and natural beauty.

I promise to love people well

Serving you is my favorite part of our time together. I promise to put your comfort, experience, and happiness first—always.

See the work
