Austin, TX Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Hill-country vistas, ranch venues, and receptions that go late — Austin does weddings at full volume.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Austin

From ranch ceremonies to rooftop city receptions, Austin weddings blend scale with warmth. We plan around big families, bigger sunsets, and dance floors that deserve coverage until the last song.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Austin surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Austin

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Austin than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:34 PM and golden hour opens around 7:59 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 7:00 PM — a swing of 1 hour 34 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Austin ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Austin

These are the Austin venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

Questions couples in Austin ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Austin, TX?

No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a Austin wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.

Do you offer wedding videography in Austin as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Austin before?

Not every venue in Austin, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.

Photography

Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.

Films

Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.

Combined

One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
