I’ve always been drawn to the quiet things—sunlight pooling on the floor, the way two people lean toward each other when they think no one’s watching. Photography became my way of noticing—of holding onto the small, true moments that feel like memory even as they’re happening.
I’m a documentary-meets-editorial wedding photographer based in Tyler, Texas, working with couples who care more about how it felt than how it looked. For those who want to feel held, seen, and safe in front of the lens.
And I get it—being photographed can feel vulnerable. Maybe you’ve stood in front of a camera before, smiling on cue but feeling like you weren’t really there. I’ve been there too. That’s why I work the way I do: with gentle guidance, space to breathe, and an eye always tuned to the in-between.
Together, we’ll create something that feels like you—honest, artful, and quietly powerful. The kind of images you’ll hold onto. Not because they’re posed just right, but because they bring you back to how it all felt.
I’ve felt the same tension you might be feeling now—the wondering, will I recognize myself in these photos? Will I feel at ease?
Photography, for me, started as a way to slow down and really see. To notice the in-between moments that tell the deeper story. I’ve been behind the camera long enough to know that the magic isn’t in the perfect pose—it’s in the trust, the guidance, the space to exhale.
And that’s what I offer you. A space where you don’t have to know what to do. Where you can settle in, be seen, and walk away with photos that feel like your story, not someone else’s idea of it.

“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!
