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!
So I had the great honor to photograph my friends wedding. I have have know Brandon and Stephanie for quite some time, and I have photographed several of their friends weddings. Brandon is also very much in to photography and has helped me photograph quite a few weddings over the years. The event was held at my favorite golf club, Black Gold in my home town of Yorba Linda. I have included a several photographs of the flowers because they where designed my the wonderful, beautiful, magnificent, charming, very talented Lauren Austell the best wife in the universe; sorry Stephanie :) you can be the second best wife. Enjoy the photos. Stephanie surprised Brandon with a Hasselblad (a really cool camera)
