Her dad stayed outside the house, breathing through waves of emotions while his baby girl was getting ready to walk down the aisle to marry the man worthy of her forever. But before that moment happened, she wanted to see her dad first.

He stood at the bottom stairs, off to the side. He waited to look up at her until she was feet away from him.

The moment he looked up, tears already in his eyes, he remained speechless as he wrapped his arms around her, tears now streaking his cheeks.

Trevor and Annalise have one of the sweetest relationships. And this magical evening is now up on the blog✨

Photographers tend to hide behind their photographs and believe their images will speak for themselves. But every once in a while, a client shares what it was like to be on the other side of the camera… and it stays with you.

I really do have the luckiest job and get to work with the sweetest of humans.

A note from Katie:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My husband and I cannot recommend Austyn enough. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also a genuinely wonderful person who puts so much care and intentionality into every aspect of her work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From the very beginning, Austyn made us feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She has a natural ability to capture not just moments, but the emotions behind them—and we were absolutely blown away every time we received our photos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Throughout the wedding process, which can often feel stressful, Austyn brought a sense of calm and reassurance. She provided helpful guidance leading up to the big day with photo checklists and planning calls, and our engagement shoot was such a fun and memorable experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On our wedding day, she was incredibly organized, communicative, and efficient, ensuring everything stayed on track while still allowing us to fully enjoy each moment. She truly went above and beyond.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, she made such an impression that one of my bridesmaids, who was getting married the following year, immediately decided she wanted Austyn as her photographer too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you, Austyn, for being the absolute best—for capturing every moment so beautifully, and most importantly, for preserving all the feelings. We will be forever grateful.

Some magic from a Thursday evening. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here is to the moments that take our breath away. To the giddy, unbelievable surprises. To a ring more beautiful than imagined. To a partner who ardently cares for and cherishes you, and made sure all the important people knew. To asking all the questions and getting teary eyed at all the answers. To being so blissfully in disbelief and ecstatic for what lies in store for this next season. To wrapping your arms around your person and being so immensely grateful that they are the one who you get to build this life with.

Kuʻuipo and Yancey have some of the biggest hearts. The kind you feel immediately.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their wedding day was emotional, moving, and filled with both joyful laughter and tears that felt sacred. Every moment honored where they came from, the people they love, and the family they’re building together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This wasn’t just the beginning of their marriage — it was the beginning of their family. 🤍

Their wedding day is on the blog! #linkinprofile

From lei exchanges to heirloom wedding rings, every detail of Kuʻuipo and Yancey’s day was rooted in meaning. Set high in the hills overlooking Palm Desert, it was a celebration that asked everyone present to slow down, connect, and truly be together.
