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!

Angela + Mike Hybrid Montage

As a wedding photographer with a strong video background I am able to do some pretty cool stuff. There are a few professional SLR cameras that shoot HD video, as well as amazing photographs. I recently got my hands on a Canon 5D Mark II, and brought it with me to Angela and Mike's wedding. Angela and Mike where a perfect couple to experiment with. They are good looking, and had a beautiful venue. I hope everyone enjoys the montage. Also I would love to teach a work shop on how to create these montages, so I would love some feed back from professional photographers.
