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 - Richard Nixon Library wedding photographer - Melissa + Tom

Dick Nixon was not the greatest president, with is water gate scandal, but his library and birth place in Yorba Linda CA make a beautiful wedding venue. I had so much fun photographing Melissa and Tom's wedding day. Their event was filled with bright colors and beautiful smiles. Their guest where so excited for them, as where I. You could feel the love in the atmosphere. I honestly can say I thought there hora dance was going to turn into a mosh pit of excited guest. I hope every one enjoys the few photos I posted and I am looking forward to my growing friend ship with Melissa and Tom.
