Katie and Travis’ wedding was such a perfect start to the year! From downtown Denver to Golden, these two braved the cold and ended up with such a beautiful day full of laughs and love. We started at the gorgeous Trinity United Methodist Church in downtown Denver. This church has so many amazing photo spots including the iron gates where they had their first look! Not to mention the sanctuary is absolutely stunning and is a photographer’s dream!

2024 is officially in the books and what a great year it was!! It was filled with so many amazing couples, families, and beautiful wedding days, I cant believe it’s already over. I’ve officially hit four years living in Denver, Colorado and three years photographing weddings out here and it’s been such a great ride!

What a great wedding to end the year with! For a December wedding, Blair and Gus ended up getting absolutely gorgeous weather and it really made for a perfect day. Creekside Terrace in Colorado Springs had all these two needed for a wonderful wedding full of love and laughter.

What a day it was for Chelsea and Jayce for their Stanley Hotel Pavilion wedding! Photographically they got a bit of everything for this one. From the old architecture of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church to the stunning fall colors and mountain backdrops of Rocky Mountain National Park to the beautiful scenery of The Stanley Hotel.

Jenna and Sam had such a perfect day and I have the pictures to prove it! We’ve had quite the road from when they first decided to entrust me with their big day! From flying out to Omaha for their engagement session to the wedding in Colorado Springs where these two made their home early this year, it’s been so great getting to know Jenna and Sam!

Brunch weddings are always so pretty and as a photographer they are so easy going sometimes it doesn’t even feel like your working! Tessa, Chase, and their family traveled over from Nebraska to have an absolutely beautiful wedding at the Flagstaff House in Boulder, CO. The ceremony in Flagstaff House was so sweet and intimate.

Megan and David’s wedding was one for the books! Held at the beautiful Willow Ridge Manor in Colorado, this wedding was absolutely perfect and with nearly everything being held outside, you couldn’t have asked for better weather. From the getting ready photos with all of the beautiful antique mirrors to some fun pictures with the red rocks, everything leading up to the ceremony was so laid back and easy going which is exactly what these two wanted!

Ahhh I love city weddings!! Coming from photographing weddings in St. Louis, these downtown city weddings bring me back and it’s such great nostalgia for me! Haley and Joe had a beautiful wedding at Blanc in the Rino district of Denver, CO and it could not have been more perfect!

Haleigh and Brian’s wedding had it all! Tons of laughs, sweet moments, and killer dance moves :) Not only that but we got some beautiful mountain backdrops along the flatirons and ,despite a short rain break, these two had some amazing moments together and with their best friends. After the mountains, they had a beautiful garden ceremony at Table Mountain Weddings and Events followed by all the dancing and yard games! These two absolutely made this day their own and were so joyful throughout the whole thing.

Cynthia and Chris’ wedding day was so full of love and laughter, it was hard not be taken up in it! These two are so genuine and I loved their engagement session so much, I knew the wedding day would be such memorable time. And they did not disappoint! Their venue, Shupe Homestead, has it all!. From the gorgeous Colorado mountain view to the intimate lawn ceremony to the beautiful lights and decor of the reception space, there was so much to love!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to reintroduce myself, ya know, the guy behind the camera! With a new year comes some new pictures of me so why not start here :) Well first I can tell you I’m Austin from Austin James Photography if it wasn’t fairly obvious.. Below I’m just wanted to share a bit about me and why I love what I do here!

Callie and Chris’ big day was the absolute perfect way to end my wedding season! With a beautiful church ceremony at Good Shepherd Catholic Church and a fun reception at Denver Moss, the day was so easy going and these two really got to show off their love for each other. Getting two know Callie and Chris over the course of the year was such a pleasure makes me really appreciate my job :) I always love the experience of my couples doing a church wedding followed by a cool venue!

Kelsey and Dylan killed their engagement session out in Roxborough Park in Colorado! They had so much fun with it and really brought out their personalities :) Come check out the gorgeous photos in the blog!

Evelyn and Andrew had such a gorgeous engagement session at the front range in Boulder. Come check it out!

When Emily got in contact with me saying they were coming up from Florida and wanted an engagement session out in the mountains, I was so down for it! Even more she mentioned she loved my Boulder sessions, which is one of my favorite spots, so I was even more excited! I love when couples from out of state come to Denver for shoots with me and these two were so good at working with the camera.

After planning all year for it, finally Cassie and Thomas’ big day came! And it was absolutely beautiful!! You couldn’t have picked a better day to have a fall wedding in Colorado! The weather was perfect, the aspens were turning that gorgeous yellow, and all of their family and friends were in Estes Park to celebrate!

Third time’s a charm with this Katie and Tim’s engagement session! With a couple reschedules with the last one due to weather, we just beat out the rain for a perfect evening at Mount Falcon just outside of Denver! These two are so easy to get along with and made for such an easy session.

Some of my favorite pictures from my weddings are the final photos we do at the end of the night before I wrap up! From rooftop photos to incredibly romantic night shots in the rain, these photos let me get creative with flash and will get you something very different from everything else we have gotten throughout the day.

Jenny and David came all the way from Missouri to get some beautiful mountain photos out in Boulder… well we got even more than that! After a good 20 minutes of rain we had to make decision if we were gonna stick it out, and wow were we glad we did!

One of the big pros of having some St. Louis weddings left, is being able to spend some time with my sister and her family! It’s been really great seeing them when I’ve been back in town and it’s really cool seeing my nephew Jackson and my niece Cami grow up right in front of me!
