Would recommend to anyone in the world. He is amazing and thinks of everything.

Mike and I are beyond thrilled that we choose Austin as our wedding photographer. We both don’t enjoy having our photo taken but Austin did a great job at capturing genuine moments and making us feel comfortable. I’m not a huge fan of typical wedding portraits and Austin did a fantastic job at finding unique and abstract ways to capture our day. I would highly recommend Austin!

Blessed. Austin not only shocked us with his stunning captures but was truly an honor, pleasure, and joy to work with from the start. He was just as excited for our marriage as we were to have him. As a photographer myself who works in the television/film industry, his talent, professionalism, humility, consideration, kind demeanor is truly unmatched as I've never met or worked with someone to his caliber. He's blessed us for life and I'll jump at the opportunity to give back in any way possible.

His images reflect his heart. Beautiful.

Thank you my friend.

Austin might be the best wedding photographer to work with out there. Okay, maybe I can't actually say that for certain but we were through the moon to work with him and our photos turned out amazing. We couldn't be more appreciative of his time, love, and energy that he puts into his work.

This review is long overdue. Austin is such a wonderful, hard working, professional and friendly guy. My wife and I couldn't have been happier with everything he did for us throughout our wedding experience and engagement. I met Austin around 2011, when my buddy was married and I was the best man. Right away, I knew I wanted to work with Austin and have him do my wedding pictures. I just knew that he was the right guy regardless of who I married. Well about 3 years later, I called Austin and told him that my wife and I wanted him to do our pictures. He was so excited and immediately made us feel like we were his top priority, even though he had a lot of other clients and work going on. No matter what we needed or what we asked, he always took care of us. We started out by doing a little engagement session to get my wife and I comfortable working with him, and the camera. That was a great experience because it was the first time my wife got to meet Austin and she knew immediately what a sweet guy he was. We were together for several hours and we had a blast, we also got some wonderful pictures from our time together and we are so blessed to have those. He is such a class act. My wife and I were married in San Luis Obispo which is close to us, but a little bit of a drive from Pasadena. He had a Friday wedding in San Diego and our wedding in SLO the following day. You wouldn't have known he had anything else going on because he was fresh, excited, full of energy and ready to go. The day of the wedding he posted a picture of his trustee socks on FB and next thing I knew be was there. He scouted out some great locations for photos, and got to work immediately. I don't think he stopped moving the whole time he was there and he was there the ENTIRE day. I honestly can't say enough about the guy, he has a special place in my heart and I love the guy to death. Thank you isn't big enough for all you did for us Austin. I'm so happy you were there for our life changing day.

Austin is seriously the best photographer ever! Before our wedding day, Austin was always quick to respond to emails or any of the silly questions I had. He was there every step of the way while I was planning everything out.
When it came to the wedding day Austin was on time and ready to go. He led the charge with my bridesmaids and groomsmen and all detail photos I wanted so I could enjoy my morning. Although the hotel room wasn't the most glamorous, he made the first look with my father look amazing. The ceremony photos were perfection, he caught every moment of our first look together, and made a seamless transition into family photos. The photos of just my husband and I are to die for! He scouted the property ahead of time and totally knew where all the amazing shots would be. He made us both feel so comfortable. My husband hates being in front of the camera so I was really worried to see what his pictures would look like and when I saw my GQ model of a husband I knew Austin was worth every penny!! He stayed for most of the reception and got all of the speeches and detail shots I would have never thought to get! He was so professional and so amazing to work with. These photos are going to last me a lifetime, they are timeless! I cannot rave about him enough!! He caught every moment, every interaction, all my loved ones in such beautiful detail I can never thank him enough!!

Any former bride knows that selecting the photographer is one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning! Your wedding day goes so quickly, the possibility of not having beautiful photographs to chronicle your special day is unimaginable! I looked at countless photographer’s portfolios, and settled on Austin O’Brian Photography based on his work which is a wonderful mix of editorial, traditional posed, candid, portrait and landscape. Once I met Austin, I was so pleased and relieved with my decision. Austin has the best laid-back, positive attitude, which is truly a treat when you are embarking on something that typically makes a couple nervous (like posing for engagement or wedding shots!) He is also so energetic and enthusiastic about his love of photography, you truly feel like he is excited to collaborate with you, not just ‘doing a gig’. He selected an amazing location for our engagement shoot, and scouted it prior to our arrival to make sure we timed the different locales for the best shots and best lighting opportunities. The pictures are stunning! We are equally thrilled with the results of our wedding, care of Austin and his team. Now that my husband and I are expecting our first child- we can’t wait to have Austin back for a family photo shoot!

One of my favorite places. Professional and they capture all of the best moments.

When we first met with Austin I knew right away that he would be the photographer to shoot our wedding. He is very laid back, funny, and when you talk to him you feel like you are talking with an old friend. I am already awkward enough in front of a camera, I don’t need to be any more awkward by having someone I don’t feel comfortable around taking my photo. To top it off, Austin is very responsive to emails, easy to get a hold of, and an all-around great person!

For our engagement photos, I was bent set on shooting both in Downtown L.A. and at the beach. Anyone who knows LA traffic should know that accomplishing this AND having enough time to shoot at each location would be tough. Austin mentioned the possible time constraints but knew that I had my heart set on it regardless and he didn’t make us rush when we took our photos. He took his time getting perfect shots in BOTH locations and didn’t nickel and dime us when we went WELL over our allowed time.
When we completed our timeline a month before the wedding I realized that I would need to book additional hours with Austin. We were already way over budget but I contacted him about tweaking our photo package anyway. I think he could sense my level of panic so he offered me a custom photo package that not only fit our timeline but also our budget! Austin is seriously the greatest, I do not think any other photographer would have worked with us like he did.

Before seeing the photos Austin took, I felt confident that we nailed it when we took our engagement photos. I felt the exact opposite about our wedding photos… I was hot and sweaty, I kept wiping my makeup off my face, I was distracted, etc, etc… Basically I was a hot MESS and I was sure our wedding photos would show it. I was totally wrong! As much as I LOVED our engagement photos, I love our wedding photos 1,000,000x’s more! Austin is a TRUE artist, it’s hard to believe that he doesn’t charge more for what he does. HIRE HIM NOW!!!!!

Austin is absolutely amazing at what he does!! To start, Austin works out of Pasadena, and we live in Santa Monica and were married in Temecula, CA. Austin had no problem meeting us in a variety of locations all around Los Angeles County and down in Temecula for the engagement photos and wedding photos. He is extraordinarily friendly and very easy to work with, while equally professional and organized. We were immediately comfortable with him and that's a huge part of making wedding photos work. If the photographer makes you feel uncomfortable, the pictures will reflect that. But most importantly, Austin's work is second to none! Everyone compliments us on our engagement and wedding photos. He does extraordinary work, at a price that is quite a bit more reasonable than his competitors. He has an amazing eye and an amazing talent. He captured stunning shots of our wedding that we will cherish forever. I would absolutely recommend Austin to anyone in the area looking for a photographer. You will not be disappointed with your decision.
