Austin, TX Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Photographing weddings 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.

Times computed for Austin (Chicago) on the 15th of each month. An outdoor ceremony in open shade can run 20–30 minutes later than the figures above; a church or ballroom ceremony is unaffected.

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.
