“Booking Austen was one of the best decisions my wife and I made while planning our wedding. He was fun and professional throughout the planning, the engagement photos (which we highly recommend), the wedding itself, and the follow-up. He worked with us at our pace, to make sure that we got what we wanted, and 100% delivered. And the photos blew us away. They’re just breathtaking. We cannot imagine our wedding without him, and we now consider him a real friend.”

“Austen took stunning National Park engagement and wedding photos, and we were so happy with the whole experience. He made the photo shoot itself fun, and that’s a tall order for my husband, who doesn’t like posing whatsoever. Thank you, Austen!”

“Austen is a master. He listens to your story and even hears what you didn’t say with words. Then he incorporates that insight into his work to create truly personal images. We thoroughly enjoyed his company on our big day. Today, I saw the photos for the first time and cried tears of joy. He captured the love, bond, and joy between our family members and friends in a way I didn’t know was possible. He also captured the “feel” of our relaxed backyard wedding so well that the happy memories came flooding back to me…and I cried.”

“Personalized, is one word that sums up my experience with Austen Diamond Photography. Before we even signed a contract, Austen took time to get to know us. It is evident that Austen cared about us more than as clients. He checked in with me emotionally and he gave me space when I needed it. Austen is fluent in body language, and he captures emotions with finesse.”

“Austen was a total rock star from our first consultation until our wedding evening ended! During the chaos of the event, Austen managed his time well, making sure all of our desired moments were captured. Not only is he professional and patient, but he also brings a great sense of humor to his work. His quality of work is top notch and we appreciated the polished ease of his website and the ability to share/save/print photos from the site.”

"Fabulous human + crazy talented! Austen made us feel so comfortable during the shoot, and he had such vision. We were able to be ourselves + had a blast. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!"

“Austen’s eye is impeccable, his technical ability is exceptional, and he has an instinct to be at the right place at the right time. What makes Austen exceptional as a photographer of people is his ability to manage his subjects and environment so effortlessly. Austen has a natural way with people that allow him to foster and capture so many magical moments. He was a pleasure to work with, but the photographs blew us away."

“Austen is so creative and invested in taking unique/personal photos; I feel like he really captured OUR wedding, in addition to getting standard wedding shots. On top of everything, Austen is both professional and very fun to be around, which means there’s none of that usual awkwardness of posing for a photographer. I’d give him 6 stars if I could.”

“Austen is fantastic at the shots you would expect at a wedding, but where he shines is his creativity. Some of his inventive photos ended up being our favorites of the bunch.”
