Annie Austin Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Athens, TX

Hey, I'm Annie. I'm a film + digital wedding photographer based in Texas. I do this for the generations to come. For the little girls, just as I once was, sitting on the carpet flipping through their grandma's and mothers wedding photos and dreaming of a love story such as theirs. I take a documentary meet's editorial approach. Leaving space for emotions to evolve when the moment calls and stepping in to gently guide when needed. No two weddings should ever look like they could belong to anyone but the couple themselves and I stand by that. This truly is my creative passion.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

Hey new friends! We’re Sam + Kyle elopement photographers splitting our time between the PNW and the SW in our RV. It takes a whole lot of badassery to make the decision to elope and we are very into that kind of energy. We believe in making memories and images that capture all of the big feelings, and the in-between moments that you want to relive over and over again. You know, the kind of photos that hang on your wall and make ya smile real big because you remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We are so glad that you’re here and can’t wait to run wild with you.

Sam and Kyle make an incredible creative team! We got in touch with them after a surprise elopement and were interested in them shooting our reception party. They excel in the elopement category as I am sure you can see from their epic portfolio, but they were just as amazing through the entire process and day of our reception. As with many couples these past few years, we needed to postpone our party for a year and a half before we could gather safely. Sam and Kyle kept in contact regularly and let us know we weren't alone. They provided some amazing guides and so much support while we worked through the challenges of planning throughout a pandemic and busy schedules. They have put so much thought and time into every aspect of their business and making sure their clients have a comfortable and beautiful experience when they work with The Dropped Pin. They encouraged us to sit down intentionally and to find time to go through the questionnaires together and it ended up making for some beautifully connected moments for me and my partner in the midst of everything else. This was all just in the lead-up to the day of! Sam and Kyle were punctual and showed up with plenty of time to get a lay of the venue while everything was still quiet. Like any "well-planned" event, everything ended up being behind schedule. This didn't phase Sam or Kyle, they just kept smiling and keeping everyone at ease, they truly did make herding cats look effortless! Now for the really good stuff, the photos. OMG, THE PHOTOS! Stunning. Breathtaking. Flawless. They were prompt with a sneak peek and final delivery and we are still taken aback at what they were able to capture. Having Sam and Kyle as a part of our day was the best decision we ever could have made. Friends are obsessed with them and the photos they took so I really hope we will get an excuse to work with them again one day!

Heather and Andrew are just the best! Their communication is quick, clear and detailed. Heather makes sure to cover all bases and offers so many helpfully tips which is so nice when you have so many other things going on. We used them for our engagement photos and they were able to make a trip back out to us after we had to reschedule due to weather. The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos.

I saw Morgan’s work online and loved it, so she flew to Seattle to shoot our wedding. Without a doubt, one of our best wedding decisions! She was so communicative, organized, and a fun/comforting presence when we were so stressed. Neither of us are good in front of a camera, and her directions helped us out so much! We love our photos so much, and she got them back to us sooo fast! Talking a huge preview within a day and a huge gallery within a week. She is the best!

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without this team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond — not just capturing the big moments, but all the little ones we’ll treasure forever. Their personality was top notch: fun, genuine, and easy to be around, yet confident enough to keep everything on track without ever feeling forced. They didn’t just document the day, they became part of it. They made our families comfortable, brought laughter when we needed it, and gave us peace of mind knowing every memory was in the right hands. The photos speak for themselves, but the experience of having them by our side is what really made the difference. If you want a team that delivers more than beautiful pictures — a team that brings energy, joy, and heart to your day — look no further. Best decision we made.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

We hired Adeline and Valerie to photograph our wedding and if you haven’t yet — hire them!! Not only are they incredible photographers, they are also amazing humans and were so fun to work with. They helped make our wedding the most magical day and we could not be more happy with how the photos came out. From our first time sitting down talking with them we knew we had found the perfect people. They were so friendly, helpful, and flexible throughout the process. On the wedding day, they helped with so many thing aside from taking the photos and just made it so my partner and I could fully enjoy the day. They made taking photos fun and light. All of our family members have been raving about how much they loved both of them. And the photos are incredible. We didn’t even recognize our front street for a second it looked so pretty! During the wedding they took photos with a Polaroid as well and so we had some immediate memories to look at that night. Then they sent us a sneak peak the next day and the rest of the photos in less than a month. We’ll forever have these memories thanks to both of them. We are so grateful and highly recommend anyone looking to capture a special day or event to choose them!

I am Erica and photography is my passion. It makes me happy that you are here reading this! My photography journey started not too long ago when I was dabbling in product photography for some local jewelers. I had taken some photos of engagement rings by themselves but it didn’t really hit me until I started working with models! From then on I realized I really enjoyed photographing people and connecting with them. Shortly after this revelation, my good friend asked me to take her engagement photos and the rest is history! Ever since I have been photographing every moment I can for my clients!

Awarded Best of Zola
Erica is amazing! She is extremely professional and so much fun to work with! She is so sweet and incredibly talented. Her customer service goes above and beyond. She reached out before and after each each event to do little check in and questionnaire to prep and recommend the best timeline that works with our vision. She has blown us away by bringing our inspiration board to life! You’ll regret not booking with her sooner. I can’t stop looking my photos, they are immaculate and bring back that same magical feeling as the moment they were taken. She curated a safe space for us to create the most intimate moment and captured the best candids. Thank you Erica for all your hard work we are so grateful to have a photographer for life.

I’m Monica Cassell, and I’m on a mission to ensure your photos are really damn good. When you choose me as your photographer, you’re not just choosing another vendor who’ll punch in and punch out. Hell no. You’re choosing a comprehensive client experience. I prioritize spending time with you, getting to know you individually and as a couple, and serving you in this season through engagement photos, recommendations, and anything else you might need. By the time you run through the sparkler tunnel to your getaway car, we’ll be so close you might just ask me to come with you (JK, unless it’s Disneyworld).

Working with Monica was great! She’s easy going and listens to what you need. I didn’t know what I wanted out of photos and she helped me figure it out. The photos we’ve received back so far are gorgeous.

Hi! I'm Sherry, the owner of 83 Weddings, and I’ll be your direct point of contact from your very first inquiry all the way through final delivery. My background is a little unique—I previously worked as a field photographer for the FBI while capturing weddings in my spare time. Over the years, my passion for weddings grew, and today it has become my full-time focus. Along the way, I’ve built an incredible team of talented photographers and videographers, allowing 83 Weddings to serve couples across the country.

We were thrilled with the work of 83 Weddings as our wedding photographers. From the very first interaction, they were affordable and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their communication was prompt and clear, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. On the wedding day, they seamlessly captured all the special moments, from the emotional ceremony to the lively reception. The final photos exceeded our expectations - the quality was exceptional, and we love how they beautifully documented our day. We highly recommend 83 Weddings to any couple looking for an affordable and professional photography team.

We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos and videos! This team seriously brought their A-game and made our special day even more magical. From the start, they were super chill and easy to work with. On the big day, they were like ninjas, capturing every awesome moment without being in the way. They have such a knack for finding those perfect, candid shots that totally show the real us. Plus, the way they set up the posed photos. When we got our photos and the video, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They caught all the love, laughter, and even the crazy dance moves (hello, epic dance party!). The highlight reel was like a mini movie of the best day ever—we’ve already watched it a million times! The whole experience was just fun and stress-free, thanks to their good vibes and clear communication. They really listened to what we wanted and made sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. Thank you guys !

LoveSnaps Photography was a great choice for our wedding photography. While they weren't the quickest to respond at times, likely due to their busy schedule, they were truly amazing at what they do. The photographers were super fun to work with and helped make our reception a blast. We didn't have to worry about them at all, and they gave us an overall smooth experience.
