Hi, I’m Justin

A professional third wheel.
Yep, it’s true. I’ll be hanging out with you on your wedding day more than your maid of honor, best man, or possibly even your spouse. So you should probably know a few things: I’m a San Antonio based wedding photographer who thrives on capturing real, unposed, “you can’t fake this” kind of moments. Awkward laughs? Happy tears? Epic dance-floor fails? Bring it on.

My journey here wasn’t exactly predictable. I started in the Air Force working with big nuclear missiles (true story), then discovered my passion for photography while studying design in college. Fast forward 15+ years, and I’ve photographed 500+ weddings, elopements, engagements, portrait sessions, pet photos and more. Everything from intimate backyard ceremonies to destination engagements in Iceland, intimate weddings in the jungles of Hawaii, and celebrations across the globe. Alongside weddings, I’ve also worked as a commercial photographer and art director for a major brand for a decade, which means I bring both creativity and technical expertise to every shoot.

But here’s what really matters: your wedding isn’t about perfect poses. It’s about telling your story! My approach is simple: blend in, make you laugh, keep things stress-free, and deliver timeless, storytelling images you’ll still love when you’re old and gray.

When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll find me exploring new places, hanging with my pup Kodak (yes, like the film), geeking out over lighting, or enjoying a cold beer or a nice ranch water after a long shoot.

So, if you’re looking for a San Antonio or anywhere a destination wedding photographer who’s equal parts laid-back, detail-obsessed, and fully committed to making your day unforgettable, i’d love to chat with you.

All the best,

Justin Brownell
