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!

Yorba Linda wedding photography - Black Gold Golf Club - Meredith + Dan

I am so happy that Meredith and Dan chose me to photograph their wedding at the beautiful Black Gold golf club. Like many of my clients Meredith and Dan have become friends, even though my son Lucas almost feed their gold fish to their cat. Meredith and Dan have great chemistry and I had a great time documenting there wedding. Lauren shot video at their wedding, so I will have a fusion video posted in the near future.

Lovely photos! I especially liked the one of the groom looking at the bride and the bride and groom walking back down the aisle. Can't wait to see the fusion piece :)

Awesome pics Joel! The kid cracks me up and I love the one of their first dance. Not to mention the one of Dan dancing. I can't wait to see the rest of them! :)
