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!

San Juan Capistrano Wedding Photography -San Juan Capistrano Mission Engagement session - Maggi + Rick

I can't say it enough being a wedding photographer you meet the greatest people and create wonderful friendships that will last a life time. Maggi and Rick where referred to me by Melissa, of Melissa + Tom. They meet while shopping at TJ Max. I know have the pleasure to have Maggi and Rick as clients and friends. Thanks Melissa!
We had a great time shooting at the San Juan Capistrano Mission. I truly feel that the mission is the most picturesque location in Orange County. I love the missions rich textures and organic earth tones.
Maggi and Rick where naturals in front of my camera. I can totally feel their chemistry through there photo. After spending a few minutes with them you know that they are best friend and where made for each other. I hope you enjoy the photos, and I look forward to hearing your comments.
