About Me

Who is Joel Austell? I was born in 1979 at 10:30 PM with a camera around my neck. Okay, I made that last part up. The truth is, I picked up the camera when I was 9 years old. The first picture I took was of an elephant at the San Diego Zoo. It didn't win any awards but I was hooked. As a teenager I spent all my free time skateboarding. When I wasn't landing tricks I was behind a camera capturing images of my friends trying tricks or taking nasty spills. What do I do for fun these days? I take pictures, of course. My wife is also passionate about photography and we spend many of our date nights looking for new and totally awesome places to take photographs. We never leave our cameras behind. I consider myself incredibly lucky because I am able to do what I love everyday. I never wake up and wish I didn't have to go to work. I love working with people and consider everyone I work with a friend. I owe all my success to God and thank him daily for all my blessings! I am living life and loving it with my beautiful wife and kids by my side. Life is good!

Brooke & Grant 
I recently had the pleasure of getting to know these two better during their engagement shoot at the Fullerton train depot. I even found out that we all attended the same highschool we just graduated at different times. Isn't it funny how we cross paths so many times with really cool people but don't always get a chance to connect until years later! What a small world. Brooke and Grant's wedding will be held in March at an awesome winery. Now what photographer could whine about that! Give me a break it is still morning, my jokes get better by the end of the day!
