The Danny Austin Photography Wedding Experience is very hands on. My assistant works with from the time an inquiry is made up until your big day. Remember, our focus is your love story and that happens by creating a relationship that is favorable.

LOOKING FOR THE CONNECTION IN COUPLES Instead of posing a couple, I prefer to give them prompts. For example, I might go to a beautiful area of their venue, have the couple look at me, and on the count of three look at one another and try to guess the same color. I learned this from another photographer. While the idea sounds quite silly on paper, it results in great photos of couples smiling, laughing and enjoying one another. I also love offering prompts to the couples to slow things down and get beautiful romantic shots that show the connection between the two of them. Prompts bring out natural reactions which are what I love to photograph.

I'LL USE IT! As a photographer, I've been trained to shoot both outdoors and indoors and will either use natural light or create my own if needed. The beauty of natural light is the speed in which you can shoot. No need to set up lights, wait for the batteries to recycle between flashes, or angle yourself towards a stand. Using natural light is a talent that often goes unrecognized since it's not often taught in schools that are based indoors. But as a wedding photographer with over 200 weddings and nearly an equal amount of engagement sessions, I have had lots of experience shooting outdoors, and love using natural light whenever I can.

USING LIGHT FROM FLASHES While I prefer a naturally lit environment, I stay ready to produce stunning images no matter what Mother Nature decides to hand us on your wedding day. I especially love using light to create beautiful images at sunset or capturing a signature photo of the couple as they do their grand exit through a tunnel of sparklers, even in the rain like the photo above.
