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!

Grant & Brooke

I genuinely enjoyed documenting Brooke and Grant's wedding day. Not only do they look like models, they are a really down to earth and carefree couple. It was a perfect day with a perfect couple! I wish them all the happiness in the world. I am really pleased with the images from the day. They were brave subjects. They even sat in the dirt during their couple photos. Brooke and Grant were up for anything and I got some amazing shots because of it! Blessings to you both!
