Capturing Life's Moments, One Frame at a Time
Who We Are
Welcome to our website! My name is Justin Brownell, and I'm a wedding photographer based in Austin, Texas. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most precious moments, and I'm thrilled to share my story with you.
Growing up, I never thought I'd find myself behind a lens, let alone running my own photography business. My journey began in the Air Force, where I worked on Nuclear Missiles. Who would have thought that those skills would later translate to photography? Life had its twists and turns, and eventually, I discovered my love for photography through an "intro to digital photography" course in college. That's when everything fell into place.
After completing my degree in design, I started taking on photography projects on the side. I'd work as a freelance web designer, and in my spare time, I'd capture moments and tell stories. Fast-forward to today, and I'm proud to say that I've been a full-time photographer for about five years now.
