About

Welcome to Harper Blankenship Photography

I’m an Austin-based wedding photographer with over a decade of experience and more than 300 weddings photographed. I’m known for creating images that feel genuine, emotional, and elevated, while still letting couples actually enjoy their wedding day instead of feeling like they’re performing for the camera.

My approach is calm, organized, and people-focused. I guide you through natural, flattering posing and movement in a way that feels easy and comfortable, especially if you don’t consider yourselves “photogenic.” You’ll never be left wondering what to do with your hands, but you’ll also never feel stiff or overly posed. The goal is for you to look like yourselves, just on one of the most meaningful days of your lives.

I pay close attention to the details that matter. From the way your day flows, to the small design elements you spent months planning, to the quiet, in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening. My work blends intentional storytelling with a refined, editorial feel, resulting in images that feel timeless, emotional, and cohesive when viewed as a full wedding gallery or heirloom album.

Couples often tell me they chose me not just for my work, but for how supported they felt throughout the process. I bring experience, clarity, and a steady presence to every wedding day, so you can relax, stay present, and trust that everything important is being captured.

If you’re looking for an Austin wedding photographer who values connection, thoughtful direction, and images that feel both honest and artful, I’d be honored to document your wedding day.

Best of the Best!!!

If you are looking for a fun, lighthearted, and incredibly talented photographer, look no further! Harper has such an incredible talent of capturing the true essence and emotion tied up in every moment.

After looking through what seemed to be hundreds of portfolios, I knew Harper was the perfect match for us because of her natural, vibrant editing style and the genuine, never overdone, joy she captured in her couples.

During our wedding day, her calm and reassuring presence made my fiance and I feel so at home in front of the camera. Even while pregnant (and I'm sure wanting to put their feet up), Harper and Shelby (second shooter) kept us laughing all day. Even crazier, she turned around amazing sneak peeks in less than 24 hours... who does that?!?!

All in all, Harper, you are an absolute light and we are so grateful to have had you with us on our day. THANK YOU!!

Amazing!

Hiring Harper to photograph our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made. We spent WEEKS looking through gallery after gallery of different photographers, nervous to make the wrong choice. Harper was the PERFECT choice!!! She brought such a calm and personable energy to our wedding and captured all of the magic in both the big and small moments throughout the day. If you are on the fence, choose her!! You won’t regret it.

Photos are stunning

Harper was easy to work with and our photos came out so beautiful! She is great at directing poses and making people laugh so it looks natural and candid. We chose her because her style seemed to match the romantic vibe I wanted and she definitely captured that in our photos. She got pictures of every little detail, some of my favorites were action shots from the reception. She also got us a sneak peek the next day, which was so great!

An absolutely incredible photographer✨

Harper was, without a doubt, the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable from the moment we met at the engagement session! She was able to capture the two of us in a way that was so natural and authentic to our relationship. When it was over, hubby-to-be said "That was actually fun!" She was readily available whenever I had any questions, and by the wedding day she seemed like a long lost best friend! My family loved working with her and we all just felt so comfortable on the wedding day. When we got our images back, we were STUNNED. Every memory and important detail was intricately captured, and she captured all the emotional moments of the day without missing a beat. Not to mention, she made my already beautiful wedding look even more high end! To this day, my husband still sees her social media posts over my shoulder and says "Harper is hilarious. She's the best". Needless to say, Harper has made a customer for life and we'll be back for all our future photographer needs! Thank you Harper!

Beautiful Photos!

After reviewing several photographers’ portfolios online, we really fell in love with Harper’s style. She was great to work with from the very first phone call, and I am very happy that we chose her as our wedding photographer. The quality of the images is amazing, and the pictures we took on the sidewalk in downtown turned out beautifully. I would definitely enjoy working with Harper again, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of professional photography services.

Harper was great to work with, she makes photography look and seem so easy breezy that you don’t think she has even taken the shot but before you’ve noticed she’s taken the most beautiful pictures without taking up all of your time. She knows exactly what she’s doing and she directs you to pose for pictures in such a simple fashion that it brief and nobody in the wedding party has a chance to get bored.
Ps. My sneak peak photos have had soooooo many compliments. She really does take the best shots!

Wonderful!

This past Friday (4/19/19) Harper photographed my wedding and did a beautiful job! The pictures are jaw dropping! Harper was so sweet and kind to work with and we received a sneak peak of our photos the night of our wedding! I highly, highly recommend her to anyone in the Austin/San Antonio area that is looking for a wedding photographer!

Amazing quality for an amazing price!

Harper is such a fantastic photographer! She did our engagement session as well as our wedding photos and we are so happy we went with her. My husband is not a photo person and she caught beautiful candid moments and gave great instructions during the shoots. She even caught great moments of us with our dog! During our wedding she was a superwoman and caught every beautiful moment on camera and the turnaround was very quick! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture the perfect moments of their special day!

Art Worthy Pictures at Reasonable Price!!

This review is long over due! Harper was my wedding photographer almost 6 months ago and she exceeded all of my expectations. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet with her before the big day, but you would never have known because she made everyone (especially my husband and I) feel so comfortable. She somehow got all of those special little shots that I asked for and so many more! I have been in quite a few weddings as a bridesmaid, and have seen first hand how photographers conduct the group and couple. That being said, Harper is without a doubt the most organized and natural at posing people!! It was very important to me that my photos be pieces of art rather than just a bunch of posed shots and that is exactly what she delivered (and at a very reasonable price!) I can’t say enough great things about her work!

Beautiful photography!

Harper was wonderful to work with and her work is amazing! I highly recommend her! We did both engagement and wedding photography with her and are so happy with how everything turned out. Her turnaround time was really quick and she listened so well to the specific shots I wanted to capture on our special day. Thank you Harper, I can't wait to schedule another photoshoot with you soon!
