I’m Annie, a Texas wedding and portrait photographer, but more than that, I’m a storyteller. I collect the moments that would’ve slipped by like the way they look at you when you’re not watching, the deep breath before you say “I do”, and the quiet touch that says everything. Those are the moments I live for.
With a documentary-meets-editorial approach, I blend raw emotion with artful composition. My goal is to capture your story in a way that feels honest and deeply personal. Instead of stiff poses or forced smiles, I create space for you to just be, so the photos reflect the real you.
Before I ever picked up a camera professionally, I was already chasing light, noticing the way moments unfold, and finding beauty in the in-between. My background in art and sociology shapes how I see and document people – not just as subjects, but as stories waiting to be told.
For the past six years, I’ve been capturing weddings, elopements, and portraits across Texas with a documentary-meets-editorial approach. That means I balance real, unscripted moments with a creative, artful eye so that your images feel natural, cinematic, and timeless.
As a Texas wedding and portrait photographer, I don’t just take photos. I guide, observe, and create a space where you can be yourself – because the best images happen when you’re fully in the moment.
I don’t just show up and shoot. My process is intentional from the very beginning. Before your session, I take time to learn about you, your connection, and what makes your story unique because real moments don’t happen in a vacuum. They happen when you feel seen, understood, and completely at ease.
That’s why working with me feels effortless. Instead of stiff poses or forced smiles, I create a space where you can be fully present. Whether it’s your wedding day, an intimate elopement, or a portrait session. You’ll walk away with images that feel like you, not just a version of what you think photos should look like.
Because at the end of the day, the best photos aren’t just seen…they’re felt.
If you’re looking for a Texas wedding and portrait photographer who values honesty, artistry, and connection, let’s talk. Your love story deserves to be documented exactly as it felt. Unfiltered, beautiful, and completely yours.

“Annie was a joy to work with.
I had family members who were nervous about being in front of the camera and/or nervous about their English. Annie was able to make everyone comfortable and shot the best pictures while doing so. I could not have asked for a better person to be with me as I prepared for my wedding and to be with me on my wedding day. Additionally, her pictures are truly a work of art. I would recommend Annie to anyone and everyone!

“Five stars is not nearly enough to accurately represent how much we loved working with Annie Austin.!!!!!
Our wedding was beautiful and perfect, and of course, I adore my husband. Still, my running joke is that I wish I could get married over and over just for the chance to work with Annie again. She was unbelievably professional while also bringing a relaxed, friendly energy—like having an extra friend there to help throughout the day. On top of that, we received WAY more photos than expected, and every single one was stunning. From start to finish, working with Annie was an absolute dream, and we can’t wait for another opportunity to do it again!
