My wife and I hired Elissa and her assistant to shoot our Austin wedding and her bridal portraits…read moreat Hamilton Pool in October 2013. We could not possibly be more pleased with her professionalism, attention to detail, personal touch, and overall cheerful demeanor. Every step of the process was stress-free, and Elissa even went above and beyond on several occasions by mailing us chocolate (always a plus), and helping us get an idea of what to expect from other parts of the wedding planning process completely unrelated to photography. Beyond her incredible diligence (all of our wedding photos were edited and posted online before we returned from our honeymoon), Elissa is also a very talented photographer who is very light on her feet. For the most part, we hardly noticed her presence (with the exception of some great, and amusing direction during the crazy family formal shots), but the photos indicate that she has a way of being everywhere at once! My mother-in-law actually expressed concern on the wedding day that she thought the entire ceremony had only been photographed from behind my wife, such that there would be no photos of her face during a very emotional event. When I saw that there were in fact gorgeous, artful and intimate photos from just about every angle--I was relieved and elated that my MOL's worries were proven to be baseless (aren't they always? haha). Elissa clearly takes great joy, and great pride in her work. I have no doubt that whatever you hire her to shoot, you will be blown away by the results.

Austin shot our wedding on 7/14/18 and he was just the best to work with! He was super fun and…read morepersonable to work with. He knew how to keep us smiling and laughing which I'm sure made for some much more natural smiling from everyone. Even our guests loved him! He knew all the important posed shots to get, and moved through taking them quickly and painlessly so we could get to the reception and start having fun as soon as possible! Even when we took a little pause from the reception to grab some sunset shots of just the two of us, he was ready with a handful of fun poses to capture what I'm sure will be some amazing shots! Again, he got us through these shots quickly so we could get back in and enjoy our reception. We would highly recommend Austin for any of your photography needs and I hope that we can use him again for something in the future. Thank you, Austin!

Austin was an experienced photographer also, he came well prepared and really knew his stuffs, even my 2-year-old toddler was totally engaged and had fun. The photos came out exactly what we expected and some were even better, and his rates are very reasonable compared to the photographers nearby. I nightly recommend him if you are looking for an excellent photographer in Austin.

I am so lucky to have found Brittany Phillips Photography through a local silent auction at the…read moreschool I work at. Brittany is not only personable, you can tell she loves what she does. Brittany took the time during our shoot to really get to know my husband and I. We were pregnant with our first child. I think the photos came out great - she was able to not only switch location but positioning us. I would highly suggest reaching out to her for your photography needs!

I'll start by saying, I'm not the type of person to post a negative review about a small business,…read morebut here we go. In October I "won" a witch themed photo shoot off of a fb contest.. I never win anything so I started the process really excited. I put won in parenthesis, because I didn't actually win anything, and I suspect this is a tactic they use to get people through the door, as to have any rights to my photos (which I was never explained beforehand) I'd have to pay hundreds of dollars. To even post my photos on social media. Which is absolutely ridiculous price gouging. I had expected to pay for a few prints, because I wanted to support the business, but even the smaller end of the package deals were over $200. My photographer was nice enough to me, but made some really off handed comments about things like "don't tell my granddaughter she's half black" and "I've had people ask me if I'm okay morally with shooting boudoir photos, and I tell them yes because I'm not the one in front of the camera". She also did not explain to me that when they offered a payment plan for your photos, you wouldn't get them until they're fully paid off. That would have changed my mind had I known, because it's literally pointless for me to get a Halloween photo in the middle of March. I reached out to the owner multiple times, from everything from them not alerting me when my photos were edited, to not really being happy with the photos, and feeling very taken advantage of and like I hadn't actually won anything. I was told I won a sitting fee which would've been $100. Who in small town Bastrop can afford to throw hundreds of dollars every step of the way at these people? Also, the photos themselves are not the quality I thought they'd be, and I really wish I would've seen that I looked like a Spirit store ad, before giving them my card info. I also noticed that they've used my photos for marketing on fb, and on their website. I feel like I honestly just did a modeling job for free, and even in the past the modeling sessions I've done, have at least landed me the right to post my own photos. When I expressed my concerns, and told TJ, that I no longer want the photos, and want to just cancel everything and call it a day; she ceased contact with me, and has never responded to any of my concerns, but they've still drawn money from my account every month. I've worked with and am friends with many photographers, and I've never seen any of them have such price gouging, shady business tactics. VERY DISAPPOINTED

Not even a single photo is good and all are dark photos. On top of it we paid money for digital copies well ahead and they don't granted downloaded access . After seeing the dark photos we asked for refund . Then immediately they gave download access and claimed that they have download rights and they are claiming photos are good even though all photos are blur . Overall they took 450 USD for nothing and not even single good photo is there and on top of it we mentally disappointed by seeing this photos . I will recommended go here only if you want to waste your time and money .Its worst photography every I had seen .

I recently (and on short notice) needed an updated headshot. I had seen a post on LinkedIn by…read moreMarlene Label, the owner of All About You Portraits discussing the reasons why a professional needed a headshot photo. I have used a very good (and ultra expensive) photographer in Austin twice before but decided to make the scenic drive out to Smithville to try out Marlene for her $99 headshot special. I was quite impressed. She has a little studio in a separate room off her home, with a bathroom for wardrobe changes and such. She took about 45 minutes with me, adjusting lighting, my poise, and the camera. I don't photograph well, but we came away with three really good options to choose from. Marlene is a pro and I have since referred a couple of friends who need updated professional headshots. My wife and I will be back to see if she can capture both of us at once!
