Capture the heartbeat of your wedding as story & art

Capture the heartbeat of your wedding as story & art

Oh, hey! I'm so glad you're here.

a note Before we dive in

Before you dive into the pricing guide, I just want to share a little about why couples choose to work with me. My goal is for you to be fully present on your wedding day—savoring each moment, surrounded by the people you love most. While you live and breathe it all in, I’ll be there, quietly capturing the magic and emotion unfolding naturally.

 

Genuine moments are at the heart of what I do—your love, your laughter, the unscripted glances, and everything in between. I'm not just showing up as a vendor on your wedding day; I’m here to celebrate with you and document your story in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.

 

Every wedding I photograph is unique, and I approach it with care and intention—because I know how precious these moments are. I can’t wait to connect and create something beautiful together!

Cheers & love,

austyn elizabeth ford

She captures emotions, stories and the heart.

Having Austyn as our wedding photographer was straight-up one of the best decisions we made through the whole process. She is endlessly friendly, deeply interested in her clients' lives, and unbelievably talented--and all of this shows up in her work. We loved her (and her work) so much that she photographed our family a few years later, and those pictures are just as beautiful. She has the unique ability to capture a scene, but also the intangibles of her subjects--she captures emotions, stories, and the heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Kuuipo & Yancey

It's not every day I get to have a discovery call with an inquiring couple and our eyes well up in tears as we remember our grandmothers who we miss dearly. Hearing your story and the heartbeat you have for each other and your families... I adore the two of you. The weekend you're putting together in Palm Springs is going to be one of the most beautiful, soul-filling weekends—you're doing it right.

 

Below are the packages I put together for you guys specifically, and I may have discounted my price to help fit closer to your budget. The first package is the dream package and the last is the bare bones. We can chat and customize any of these for you guys, and know we can always add things down the road as we get closer to your wedding if your dreams and budget shifts and allows.

Investment Packages

COLLECTION 01

The Full Weekend Captured

Similar to what our wedding photographer did for us, I would be your photographer on hand.

You instantly feel comfortable around her

She is an extremely talented photographer and is tremendously easy to work with. My husband and I keep saying this - but we are so happy we found her. She went above and beyond to create stunning photos. We had an idea while shooting that things would turn out great, but when we received our photos we were blown away. For a couple of people who aren’t used to being in front of the camera, she made us feel incredibly at ease.

FAQ

some answers to your questions

Can we be at cocktail hour?

This is one of my favorite requests. And my answer: A thousand times, yes. I want nothing more than for you to be available and fully present throughout your whole day.

 

If having portraits of the two of you, your wedding party and of your family are important to you, then we craft a timeline where those take place outside of the moments you are able to have with your people. Scheduling those before the ceremony or choosing to do a Day After Session is always available!

WE DON'T NEED AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION...

If you've already had engagement photos taken, we can relocate that hour and add it to your wedding day coverage or rehearsal dinner.

WE THINK WE ARE ______________

Insert: Un-photogenic, awkward, nervous, etc....

To put you at ease, most of my couples say this about themselves. To be honest, I probably would say the same things about me. However, when you just focus on eachother and the joy you feel... everything melts into place.

 

I'm excited to prove to you that you don't need to think those things about yourself anymore. Capturing people as they genuinely are is my specialty.

HOW DO WE RESERVE THE DATE WITH YOU?

A signed contract and 25% of your package cost is all that is required to reserve us for your date. The remaining three payments are split up evenly, with the final payment due one month prior to your wedding date.
