Hand Heart and Crown Weddings is a wedding company run by husband-and-wife team, Austin and Christel Stuart. Based in Austin, Texas, we are totally willing and able to travel for your wedding. Our passports are current!

Storytellers:

Austin: I am usually the one behind the camera. I have been shooting photos since high school. That was about 100 years ago! My storyteller super power is capturing your day to tell a story. Using a blend of contemporary, natural and vintage photography styles to capture the perfect moments, I want you to be able to share your gallery with friends and family and they can almost smell the flowers, and feel the sunshine!​

In my spare time, I can usually be found outside. On my bike, in a kayak, playing golf, enjoying baseball games, or camping!

I shoot weddings, events, portraits, and nature. If you will stand still long enough, I can stop time.

Christel: I am usually the one in front of the camera. I have been officiating weddings since 2014. My first wedding was my cousin's...in Costa Rica... under a waterfall. Not a bad day at the office! Since 2014, I have traveled all over marrying folks!

If you are looking for someone charming, funny, and professional to be your storyteller. I'm your "guy". I want your wedding to be personal and touching. I want your guests to connect to your story. Falling in love is ugly. That is what I adore about weddings. I get to take the ugly, personal stories and make a lasting, beautiful moment out of them.
