Lydia + Luke Manor House Wedding- Denver Wedding Photographer
What a perfect day for Lydia and Luke’s wedding this past weekend at the Manor House! With March weddings you never know what to expect weather wise and it turned out absolutely beautiful! Not only was the weather amazing, but the whole day itself was so much fun and a lot of that had to do with the type of people Lydia and Luke are. These two were so laid back and fun and it 100% rubbed off on the rest of the day. The Manor House is such a great venue with the amazing mountain backdrop and the signature white columns that there isn’t a bad place to take a photo there! Here is a sneak peek so you all can see what the day looked like! Enjoy!
Meet Austin- Denver Wedding Photographer
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!
First off a few facts about myself!
I absolutely love meeting new people and making connections with my couples is one of my favorite parts of what I do and a big reason why I got into the wedding business!
I moved out to Denver 3 years ago from St. Louis and haven’t looked back! It’s been such a journey rebuilding my business out here from scratch and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I would consider myself a extroverted and very optimistic person, but I also like to think I’m a calming force when things can get stressful. I really thrive in those quick decision moments and at the same time I’m always having fun with it :)
I am a cat dad to my best boy Gus Gus (pic at the bottom)! Named after the mouse from Cinderella, he !00% grew into the name haha. I’ve had him for 11 years now and he is my cuddly, chunky baby boy!
I adore music live or around the house! I would say I’m listening to music 90% of the time while I’m working.. current jam while I’m typing this: A Little Honey by Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats (shoutout Hermann, MO). Also with this it takes absolutely no effort to get me on the dance floor boppin!
I am a big foodie! My zen time is cooking with a glass of wine and some music going on the record player. I love to experiment and try new recipes out, I probably have way too many go to’s at this point..
I love the balance of being out and about with friends and then also a movie or game night in all cuddled up. WInter is definitely a great season for that!
I consider myself very organized when it comes to the business. I am all about helping my couples plan throughout the year and getting a perfect timeline so it’s a amazing stress free day for them!
Let me kick back with a glass of wine or whiskey and I am golden!
Now onto why I love being in the wedding photography industry and how that helps make your day everything you’ve dreamed about!
Let’s be friends!!
I mentioned before I LOVE getting to know my couples throughout the year and really understanding who they are! Booking with me means we’ll hang out a few times over the year and just get to know each other! We can kick back with a drink, grab lunch, or do a little photo session with you two (or if you’re out of town I’m always down for a video chat!). We absolutely can talk wedding or just get to know each other better. Not only do I love making those personal connections, but it really makes my couples feel that comfort in knowing who you are spending a lot of time with on your wedding day.
That moment when I first come into the bridal suite and can give the bride a big hug and congrats because we’ve gotten to know each other is such a huge thing. A big reason I get so much personality in my photos is because my couples feel so at ease and THAT is something that really comes with becoming friends throughout the entire process!
I want to help you with any questions you have and we can really dig into the timeline so you get those breaks and moments alone with your significant other. Don’t get me I love photography and It’s a huge passion of mine. But really making that connection with my couples makes it feel like it’s not even a job and I’m celebrating along with the rest of the crowd! If you value personal connection along with the comfortability that comes along with it, then I’m your guy!
