About

My philosophy goes beyond merely capturing perfect photographs; I focus on seizing real moments and emotions. This approach is all about the raw, unposed, candid shots that come off as natural, not forced, awkward, or stiff. My clients in Austin, many of whom have become friends, can attest to my knack for capturing authentic smiles, goofy expressions, and memorable group pictures in a timeless, cheerful style that’s a joy to revisit. Recognized as one of Austin's top wedding photographers, I pride myself on being flexible, friendly, and focused. With experience from over 800 weddings, I have honed my ability to anticipate my clients' needs before they even articulate them. My wedding photography service extends beyond just taking photos; I offer valuable wedding consulting and timeline planning advice to ensure the best lighting on your special day.

Absolutely incredible

JD- where do we begin!! He is talented. He is kind. He is incredibly creative and skilled. He is amazing company to top it all off. I don't know how we got so lucky to snag him for our wedding day but my goodness, his pictures are true treasures my family and I are so lucky to have. We can't thank him enough for not only capturing the beauty and emotion of the day but our loved ones were so impressed with his efficiency, great personality, and of course, the final product. We love you JD!

The Best Wedding Photographer – Calm, Kind, and Incredibly Talented!

Choosing the right photographer isn’t just about talent—it’s about energy, presence, and making you feel at ease. JD absolutely nailed it. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, he was an absolute pro, capturing every special moment with an incredible eye for storytelling and emotion.

JD has this rare ability to organize a crowd seamlessly while keeping everything relaxed and stress-free. He was calm, kind, and never overbearing, which helped us stay present and truly enjoy the day. His work speaks for itself, but beyond that, he’s just a one-of-a-kind talent and an amazing person to have by your side on such an important day. We’re so grateful we chose JD—he truly made our memories last forever!

JD is a Magic-Maker

JD is the ABSOLUTE BEST photographer you could book for your special day. You will not regret a single thing about booking with him. He was incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and an absolute joy. He was also incredibly professional, and he knew when to give my wedding planner a bit of a push to keep the big day organized and moving. He was a HUGE help. He also took the time to listen to me and my (now) husband about what we were looking for in our photos, and he captured everything we could have wanted. When I talked to him about my bridal portraits, he was very cool with some of my off the wall ideas, and he made me feel like a Queen (not to mention he was pumping beyonce through the studio speakers, which is always a win). Really though, JD was a lighthouse in the chaos of my wedding day. He was calm, cool, collected, and fun. He was zooming around the dancefloor with his other assistant making people laugh before he snapped some of the best candid photos of my family and best friends I have ever seen. I am continually getting comments about how lovely my wedding photos were, and that I "had to be a certain level of cool to pull that off," to which I have said, "No, my photographer is the cool one that pulled it off." JD is an artist, and I'm so happy that he was part of my special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
