Chelsea S. Sent on 12/08/2023Outstanding!
If we could rate Austin 10/5 stars my husband and I would. We were an out of state couple, who never met Austin before and he was so communicative before the wedding answering our questions along with absolutely blowing us away the day of. When you hire Austin, you don't realize you are getting much more than an amazing photographer. He comes into your wedding feeling as if he is a really organized member of the family outlining the day in the most organic way possible. Every person raved about him and have been dying to see the photos. When we just saw our preview our jaws dropped. I thought "am I a model?". My husband is not as comfortable in front of the camera as I am and he never felt tired of taking photos but, enjoyed each moment as Austin took pictures throughout the day. Austin captured who we were as a couple and individuals so perfectly we couldn't be happier with his work.
He was so outstanding our parents even asked if they can add to our review.
From the Father of the Groom:
This past weekend we celebrated a beautiful wedding of my Son Joseph and Daughter in Law Chelsea. What made this already spectacular weekend even better was the photographer that they chose. Austin was not only a great photographer but he was well organized, personable and made everyone so comfortable on what could be a stressful time. He was great and his creativity and ease were so refreshing compared to some others in the past. I would highly recommend him and I can't wait to see his many beautiful pictures. He made this already great day even better!
From the Mother of the Bride:
Austin and I had an immediate bond. I am a perfectionist and so is he. He watches everything and knows when to strike with his arsenal of cameras to capture the moment in an artistic way. He dialed into the bride to make sure she was always perfect, he’d move hair, spray her hair etc. He was the ultimate professional. So grateful he was on our team, a lifetime of memories, photos that captured the best of us and are priceless. -

Austin is simply the best. When we started looking for a photographer, we wanted someone who would capture the raw, beautiful, in-between moments. Austin did just that and so much more. His work speaks for itself, but we are completely in awe by the beauty and quality of his photos. It felt like he was everywhere all at once, and it meant the world to us to go through the full album after the wedding and see how he captured not just our joy as bride and groom, but all the guests' joy and the small moments in between. But even more than his (absolutely incredible) photography skills that made us feel like movie stars, having Austin at our side for the wedding weekend was such a gift. He is so compassionate, calm, reassuring, and with a wonderful sense of humor that keeps you present, laughing, and focusing on all the right things. It was like having another best man/wedding planner, he just knew intuitively all the steps that needed to happen to create the vision we wanted and he was there to support every step of the way. He made us and our families so comfortable, and it's reflected in the smiles and genuine happiness in the photos. I felt so much more reassured as a bride with Austin beside me throughout the day. If we could just hang out with him every weekend, we absolutely would. Thank you Austin for being you and for capturing our weekend so perfectly!! -

On my wedding day I was feeling a little overwhelmed and it felt like stimulation overload...until Austin arrived. He was my favorite vendor and was able to make everyone in the room laugh and catch some amazing in-the-moment, candid photos, which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. I fell in love with his work because he makes his photos look so effortless and beautiful. My family and I are so happy with how our photos turned out and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I have had so many compliments on my photos and many people message me about his work. Thank you Austin! -

The best!
Look no further, Austin is THE BEST photographer around. Our photos are stunning and even better than I hoped and imagined they would be! He captured the day exactly how I saw it through my eyes. We will cherish these forever. And besides being incredibly talented Austin is so much more than just a photographer. He was an absolute a dream to work with throughout the entire process. He helped us through some challenges at our venue and then eventually our wedding got cancelled due to Hurricane Ian. We knew we wanted to keep Austin on our team regardless of where the new wedding would be. He kept in contact with us all while dealing with the impacts the storm had on his family, friends and community. Thankfully we were able to find a new venue and date that worked with his schedule and had no issue with the 5 hour drive required for him. Austin makes you feel like a friend, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, kept me hydrated all day (ha!) and you was always there to offer a helping hand. You need scissors? He has them in his pocket. Bustling a dress? He’s there. Need some light? He’s there with the camera flash in. I am just in complete awe. Like I said, look no further, I cannot recommend Austin enough!! -

Austin is unreal….he is so insanely talented and makes your wedding look way way cooler than it is. He is so fun and amazing to be around. He’ll make you laugh because he’s hilarious then somehow make it look good in a picture. He’s also extremely useful in so many ways- he’s the one who put my veil in, tied my husbands bow tie, etc.. photos we’re a huge priority to me and I’m forever grateful to Austin for giving me the best, most unique, elevated, professional, not cheesy, the list goes on wedding photos. I don’t even live in Naples and am going to fly back for every occasion I want a picture taken because Austin makes you look that dang good. He doesn’t even need reviews because his instagram is gorgeous and says it all when it comes to his photography but I just wanted to come here and show off how wonderful of a person he is. Forever grateful for Trenholm Photos! -

When I first started out in our wedding planning journey, finding a photographer was a top priority. I knew the vision and the outcome of the photos we wanted, and seeing Austin's previous work pulled it all together for me. In my opinion, his photos are timeless - they will always be beautiful and truly capture and evoke emotion.
Finding someone who creates gorgeous photography is one thing, but also who makes you feel incredibly comfortable and can become a true friend during this process is a different level of skill. Austin is easy to talk to and makes being in front of the camera fun. We left our engagement shoot on cloud 9 and couldn't wait to "hang out" again with Austin for our wedding.
Austin is top tier - did I mention this guy made it through a HURRICANE just days before our wedding and still somehow made it?! I couldn't believe I was getting phone calls from Austin while he was living through said hurricane, keeping me updated on his status and worst case scenario back up plans - he is a true professional. He booked at least 4-5 different flights out of different airports in Florida to make it to Boston, which he did!
On top of insanely gorgeous photos, we gained a new friend - if Austin is available for your date, hire him!! You will not be disappointed. -

Austin is amazing!!
I highly recommend hiring Austin for your wedding day! We had the chance to meet him a couple years back for our engagement photo shoot and were so happy he was available for our wedding July 2022! During our wedding day, he was in my bridal suite and was so helpful! Simple things such as opening my lipstick so I don't mess up my nails, to having a full wedding kit on him just in case we needed safety pins etc. He was there, present, and willing to help! He made me feel so at ease and not stressed out at all! He knew when to assert his opinion when it came to my bridal bouquet at first being too tight, to whether we should tighten my dress, he had all the knowledge needed and years of experience. Throughout the day he captured such beautiful moments that my husband and I will always be able to look back on with a huge smile! We really enjoyed working with him! His sense of humor and energy is perfect! He is by far the best! We look forward to reaching out to him again in the future once we begin to build our family! -

Austin is a motivated, prepared, professional who brings life to any shoot. He really goes above and beyond for his clients in work product but also by accommodation. Austins portfolio is a nice refresher. I loved seeing editorial, stylized photos among fresh, light and airy pictures. What really took the cake was Austin himself. He was just as excited about my engagement shoot looks as I was. I would highly recommend working with Austin. You will be in great hands! -

I would like to start off by saying, if you are in the process of selecting a photographer for your big day, I strongly recommend Austin Trenholm. He was recommended to me by my wedding planner when I was searching for a Wedding photographer, and it was one of the best things that happened to me that day– besides marrying my husband ;)
It was like there were 100 Austin’s there, capturing our every moment.
Not to mention his bustling skills! (No one else could figure out how to keep my wedding gown bustle from falling, and then came along Austin, our PHOTOGRAPHER with pins and just the right touch to save the day!
At the end of the night, Austin felt like an old friend, who was supposed to be on the other end of the camera. We received our final photos back only a few days after our wedding! And they were beyond what I was expecting! I am so thrilled with our decision to choose Austin Trenholm for our big day! -

The Best Photographer!
Austin was such an integral part to making our day an amazing experience. He is not only a wonderful photographer and makes taking the pictures enjoyable, he is like a wedding coordinator too. From buttoning and bustling my dress to putting on the guy’s corsages, he made sure every detail was perfect. He made everyone feel so comfortable while still controlling a large family! We can’t thank him enough and know we made the best choice for our photographer! -

“Oh my gosh, I love this one! I didn’t even know he was taking pictures then!” – me, reviewing our wedding photos. Austin is hands down the best wedding photographer I have ever come across. A true professional, he captures moments that you didn’t even think would be photographic and somehow translates that to true love emulating from an image. Of course we got the necessary portraits, but some of my favorite photos are those were Austin captured us just being us. We felt so natural and comfortable with him and that is definitely reflected in the results. We got married on a pretty overcast day, but you would never know – his editing skills are top notch and the entire bridal party looks like they are glowing.
Austin – thank you for perfectly capturing our best day ever. We can’t wait to work with you again

Talk about a pro! Effortless, professional and did not take us "off track" from our schedule. Austin and Trenholm Photo lived up to his reputation. We couldn't be happier!! Thanks Austin. -

Austin is everything you could want in a wedding photographer - obviously the photographer, but also a friend, an assistant, a hair-fixer-upper, a right-hand-man, and so much more. I first found him through social media and instantly fell in love with his work. I was initially disappointed to see that he was based in Florida, but THANKFULLY it turned out he travels a ton for his work. My wedding was on Cape Cod and I was so lucky Austin was more than happy to come up North (actually TWICE! He even made time to squeeze in my engagement session while in MA last June.) His work is exquisite and truly shows his talent in capturing the moments, posing us and knowing how to make me so less awkward than I usually am, getting the perfect candids, and editing them all to perfection. Aside from his extreme talent behind the lens, Austin is one of the kindest people I have met. It can't be an easy task being a wedding vendor and working with some crazy brides all the time, but Austin made me feel comfortable, eased any stress, and truly was like another friend along for our crazy wedding day. Could not recommend him any more! (Plus..he's great with dogs and captured my pup despite his high boxer energy and crazy faces!) -

Carly M. Sent on 11/24/2019Capturing the essence of us, on our wedding day
I knew I wanted to book Austin as my wedding photographer months before my husband and I got engaged, while in my best friend's wedding. There are two main criteria that made my decision instantaneous -- his attention to detail and how comfortable he makes you/your guests feel.
I echo hundreds of other couples when I say that Austin truly feels like a friend and not just your photographer, which for us, was so important. My husband and I wanted to work with people (vendors) we felt comfortable to be around and who would add positivity to our day. Of course, it helps that he is also excellent in his profession and we loved his quality and style of photography!
Austin truly went above and beyond for us over our wedding weekend. He is based in FL and we got married in NJ, so he had to fly in. He was able to attend our welcome event the day before and captured hundreds of memories we would not have had otherwise, especially not in volume/quality. He was with us for at least 12 hours day-of, from early morning getting ready to the last song of the night. We never had to look for him (or his second photographer) -- he was always close by to capture the moment and I love that he was easily approachable for our guests to requests photos as well. Aside from all the professional photos, he also took some awesome videos on his phone during our reception which I am SO thankful for! This was definitely added value we weren't expecting.
In terms of attention to detail, Austin's exceeds getting the right angle or fixing small placements of hair/hands etc., although worth calling this out because not all photographers are created equally in this department. He was our in-house go-to for tying the groom's bowtie, fixing the stuck zipper on my MOH's dress, re-positioning my veil and having my lipstick with him ready to re-apply at any moment. He understands lighting -- although we had a gorgeous, cloudless day, the sun was harsh which affected picture-taking more than one might think. Knowing a little bit about digital photography myself, I can't stress how important this factor is when choosing a photographer. Having said this, I should also note that Austin's style of photography is what we wanted, more soft and romantic than stark and saturated, and shouldn't be confused with understanding light manipulation. We had several requests of certain photos/details we wanted, and among all the hustle and bustle day of, we received nearly all of them.
We don't know how he manages his own life and flying all over the country to do his job! Austin was so easy to communicate with over phone and email. Our financial investment was well worth Austin's personal investment in our wedding and every other perk included. I highly recommend him, even if just looking for engagement photos (which was included in our wedding booking)! We had the best time working with Austin, felt like ourselves, and love every single picture captured, both planned and unplanned! -

As a wedding photographer myself photography was a priority on my wedding day. Austin was thorough, subtle during the ceremony, yet captured every important moment beautifully. Our images are artistic yet timeless and our gallery had every single moment we could have wished to relive after our big day. So many gorgeous memories and we truly love our images. Thank you Austin!! -

Jeff M. Sent on 06/09/2019THE BEST! Fast, creative, everywhere yet invisible
Austin Trenholm is a wizard of photography. His ability to see things--light, angle, color--is nothing short of superhuman. At each site, he was extremely fast, guiding us to the right spot and saying just the right things to get us doing what he needed and what we wanted.
At both the ceremony and reception, he was somehow everywhere yet invisible. He got tons of amazing shots of everyone and everything, but I barely noticed him. He's either the best wedding photographer in the world or he's a wizard... or both. -

What can I possibly say about Austin that hasn’t already been said?
There’s a reason all his reviews are 5 star. He’s insanely talented and the ultimate professional.
First of all, Austin was the only photographer I initially looked into that took the time to get me on the phone. It felt so good to chat, get to know him and his working style without tons of emails back and forth. He felt very professional and dedicated to his work right from the start. I knew from the moment my husband and I spoke with him that he was the only choice for us.
The professionalism just continued from there. He was a dream to work with providing recommendations and offering suggestions for day of timeline so we could capture photos in the best light. And planning a Florida wedding from Minnesota got complicated at times but he was always very accommodating and calm through the process.
And day of my wedding Austin just nailed it. He had me at such ease because I knew was in the best possible hands. I mean he was even offering to take photos for my guests with their phones and would clean off their lenses before taking them...I mean come on, genius and beyond helpful. I felt like even random iPhone photos would turn out great. His wonderful personality came out even more at the reception and I really felt he blended in with my guests and captured the best candid pictures.
At the end of the day I realize that during the wedding planning process and on your wedding day it’s your vendors that you actually spend the most time with, so you definitely want to choose wisely. I truly feel that there’s no better choice than Austin. I thought the final product was what was most important, and yes our pictures are stunning. But really it was how comfortable and fun it was to be around and work with Austin that ended up being what was most important. -
