San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographer

San Luis Obispo California Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Where organic human connection meets a soulful passion for documenting what you feel

I BELIEVE THE TRUEST VERSION OF YOUR LOVE looks like you–AND SO SHOULD YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS.

Photography trends come and go, but documenting real people’s genuine emotions transforms into timeless art.

 

Throughout my nearly two decades of experience, it’s been my priority to make space for you and your people to feel comfortable being yourselves—because when you feel at ease in this immersive experience, magical imagery is born.

Meet Austyn Ford–

A lifelong artist who loves capturing what’s candid, connected & timelessly you.

Since photographing my first wedding in 2006, I’ve been obsessed with creating art from human experiences. I never miss the candid moments—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 adore being 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 ensure you can relive every beautiful detail of your wedding experience forever.

“We signed up for a wedding photographer and found a forever photographer and friend. Words can’t describe how amazing Austyn is. She's been there to capture most of the happiest times of our lives. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera from start to finish. And the pictures she was able to capture are truly one of a kind!”

“Austyn’s photos are breathtakingly beautiful. I did careful research before choosing my wedding photographer, and I feel blessed to have found her. She captured the most gorgeous images of our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Now, we are expecting our first baby, and I can’t imagine anyone better to take photos of our little family.”

“Austyn is an absolute gem! She has done my family's photos for two years now and is incredible at what she does. We absolutely love our photos and can't recommend Austyn enough. Looking through them made us smile, laugh, and say “aw” over and over. She captured the kids (and the rest of us) so effortlessly and we couldn’t be happier.”
