    Amazing Photographer!

    Justin photographed our proposal and was absolutely amazing to work with. The photo's are next level gorgeous, had an uncanny ability to perfectly capture the feeling of the moment. He was familiar with the venue and was helpful with the process, even outside the photography. Great communication and lots of industry knowledge and resources. Would 100% recommend Max Photography.

    Best Photographer in Austin

    My fiancee planned our proposal to occur on our vacation to Austin. He found Justin through Google Search and was not disappointed. Justin was extremely communicative, helpful, informative, and overall an amazing person to work with.

    On top of being a fantastic person to collaborate work with, he is a WIZARD with his cameras. He secretly captured the moment of engagement with expertise. Through his photos, the joy from those moments will be captured forever.

    Justin was incredibly professional during the planned portion of the engagement shoot. He was able to direct and pose us without it feeling awkward or forced (which for me is an incredible feat). He was patient, kind, warm, and creative with his shots.

    We are so grateful for everything Justin did. If you want to have the most fun and beautiful shoot, hire Max Photography.

    Max Photography's reply:

    Oh my word, thank you! Y'all were a dream to work with, and it speaks volumes that it was fun despite being about 4 degrees outside.

    The photos were like reliving the wedding

    Justin did an AMAZING job with the photos for our wedding. I would say if you like a photojournalistic style, that would be the best way to describe our wedding photos, although he is good with posed/traditional as well. He did such a good job capturing all of these little moments from our wedding, it feels like going through the album is synonymous with reliving the day. He listened to what we wanted the day of, was very flexible with scheduling, and did a good job incorporating pre-wedding guidance. He captured the essence of us as a wedding couple and the bridal party with fun, silly, and spontaneous moments photographed. He also made us feel very comfortable and heard. I highly recommend Max Photography, we hired them as the most inexpensive vendor recommendation for photographers and it was the best decision we made.

    Amazing photos/great experience!

    Justin was so kind, considerate, and thoughtful while working with us at our intimate wedding. Not only did our pics turn out unbelievable, but it really felt like having a friend taking our special pics. Hands down the best purchase and experience & I would 100% use Max Photography if you have the opportunity.

    Couldn't Ask For Better!

    Working with Max Photography, with Justin as our main photographer and contact, was the best decision that I made for our wedding reception. He was super responsive to all of my questions and flexible to allow me to add a photo booth close to the actual date (which was a hit!) - that was all before the day. On the day of the reception, they were super friendly, full of laughs to set us at ease, and blended right in with our celebration! The gallery of photos that we received are amazing - I am blown away at how he could capture the subtle moments, while also capturing the energetic chaos as the night continued. Do not hesitate to book Max Photography - I would book him again in a heartbeat!

    Exceptional Professionalism and Photography

    Justin was absolutely the best photographer that I could have chosen to shoot my wonderful fiancé and I's proposal! He was courteous, professional, and fun - allowing us to feel the special moment and keep it lingering even through the photoshoot. Above all else, he captured the most special moment of our lives with perfection, giving us the best way to remember and share it for the rest of our lives.

    Engagement Pictures - Austin

    The entire experience with Justin from 'Max Photography' was off the charts. Starting with the planning of location, which Justin helped immensely by making suggestions and sending pictures of different places. He also replied to all my texts and emails promptly, including the minutes right before the proposal. The actual proposal moment was also amazing. Justin made sure that my fiancé and I were extremely comfortable during our session, not to mention that the pictures are stunning. Justin was a 10 out of 10!

    What would we have done without you?! Seriously...

    I give my highest recommendation to Max Photography. With only 40 guests at my wedding, I thought I could skip on a coordinator and manage things on my own... wrong! I showed up to my venue nervous and totally overwhelmed. Justin and his assistant Suzanne were already on-site and they jumped right in to save me. Suzanne was like an old friend, making me laugh and fluffing me up, and she helped tremendously in keeping me in the moment. Meanwhile, Justin is with the fellas, literally giving my soon-to-be husband the dress shirt off his back when he forgot it at home! They were swift and unintrusive during the ceremony, then funny and engaging for group shots afterward. When I got our photos back I was really touched. They captured the essence of every moment and each of my guests. I think they are particularly skilled at candid shots and artsy photo ops. Thank you 1000x, Max Photography, for contributing so much to our wedding and beautifully delivering the memories!

    Perfect! Beautiful pictures!

    Justin came out to the venue, we scouted spots for pictures and he really took the time to listen to what I wanted and really came through. He captured exactly what I had envisioned and the pictures were beautiful. We also used him for the photo booth as well and loved it. The price can not be beat for what we got! If there is every a need for me to have a photographer again I’m calling him immediately!!

    Photographer

    Justin is unbelievably amazing! He was so friendly, down to earth, and easy to work with. Our wedding was at 10:30 in the morning and already so hot, but Justin was able to capture perfect pictures for us

    Out of all the pictures we received back, there isn’t a single one we don’t like. We couldn’t decide what pictures were our favorites and ended up sending almost all of them out to family and friends. On top of that, we also received them back within a week or two!

    We had a perfect day and it was all captured beautifully! You won’t regret it if you use him as your photographer

    If you're looking for a photographer, look no further! We recently booked Max Photography for our engagement photos and we couldn't be happier! Justin was so wonderful to work with. He was able to schedule us in the time frame that we needed. He's very easy going and made it comfortable for us to stand in front of a camera. The pictures are absolutely beautiful! His prices are very reasonable. You'll definitely get a great experience and the best quality with Max Photography!

    Our favorite wedding vendor! Thank you, Max Photography!

    My husband and I couldn’t be more pleased with Max Photography. Justin and his colleagues are personable, professional, and very, VERY good at what they do. Our wedding photos are beautiful and true to the spirit of the day.

    In addition to doing an excellent job on the standard wedding pics, the Max Photography team has an eye for what is important to the bride and groom. They know how to capture moments that, in less capable hands, would have been lost.

    Communication with MP was always prompt and thorough. Folks, I didn’t realize how important this was until after all was said and done, so let me elaborate. Outside of your wedding planner (if you have one), your photographer is going to be up in your business more than any of your other vendors. Before the wedding you should have a consultation with them and (if you choose) work with them for your engagement photos; during the wedding, they have to wrangle your whole family, be there for all your more personal moments, and figure out who else is important to you so that they take enough photos of them; after the wedding, you have to communicate with them about your photos/albums, etc.

    Max Photography was so good about all of this… my husband and I lucked out. We are so grateful to Justin and Sloane for their hard work. Thank you both for helping to make our day special, and for preserving memories that we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

    A final note: I highly recommend getting the package with the photo booth. We got tons of great photos from that, too, and MP uses quality props.

    Easy comfortable and fun.... was so great having Justin and his team a part of all the events of the day!

    If you’re looking for a photographer... STOP looking! This is your team :). Justin is amazing... as a bride my most important thing was being comfortable and in the moment. Justin not only took amazing photos but he was one of the family! My mother was calling him son by the end of the night. He helped make the day easy, fun and memorable while grabbing all the best pics of our wedding! Our family brings the party and Justin was able to hang grabbing all the epic dance pictures we could have ever hoped for. He was easy to work with leading up to the event which made me know I had the right guy.... he took the time to get to know my husband and I and our goals for what we wanted. Also added bonus he was able to do the photobooth which was amazing! I can’t say enough good things, sincerely... booking Justin was one of the best decisions of our day! Thank you for being amazing and for anyone who is thinking about it - again you will not regret working with this team!!

    Better Than You Can Imagine

    Justin is one of the best photographers that I've ever worked with. He is professional, thorough, and very personable. We had so much fun getting to meet him, doing our engagement photos, and spending time with him and his assistant at the wedding. These guys literally made our wedding look like a magazine photo shoot. We joke looking at all of the pictures of our guests about which magazine each picture must have been pulled from. You'll be hard pressed to find a better photographer for your events.

    Beautifuly Captured Moments

    One of the things I’m happiest about from my wedding day is choosing Justin at Max Photography for our wedding photos. His pre-wedding communication was phenomenal, and his pricing for our photo package AND the photo booth was absolutely amazing, it was a deal I don’t think anyone could match!!! Let’s start with the photo booth… What a hit with the wedding guests!!!!! He provided a chest of props, and people were in and out of the photo booth all night! It’s so great that it prints 3 strips, we left a guest book with tape for guests to leave a strip behind and write a note next to their pictures... and it’s seriously the funniest/ best thing to look back on now after the wedding! He gives you a USB drive of all the photos from the photobooth too, so that way you’ll have them forever! :)
    As for his wedding photos- Justin and his assistant were amazing at staying out of the way, but still capturing amazing and intimate shots throughout the day and night. He was so kind at giving directions for me and my husband, and let me tell you, he will make you and your spouse look BEAUTIFUL! No awkward poses, I promise! They captured so many precious moments of the night, and went above and beyond the photos I requested they take, capturing so many more memories than I ever thought imaginable! The photos are beautiful, and capture everything I’d want to remember from my wedding day. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts!!

    Beautiful work and stress free!

    I needed a photographer in a short amount of time for a last minute wedding I was having in Austin. I found Justin through the Venue's website and loved his work I saw on his website. I emailed him and he was very quick to respond! He was awesome to work with and so friendly. He made my special day a breeze! Highly recommend!

    I really wish I could give more than 5 stars!

    I really wish I could give Justin and his team more than five stars! We got married November 2018 in San Antonio, TX and Justin did our engagement and wedding photography. The entire experience was so easy, professional, and fun. I cannot express how amazing the quality of the photos are; plus, the photo packages are quite reasonable for what you get! Further, we used the Max photo booth and it was a HUGE hit! The quality of the photo booth pictures are the best I've seen and it was so easy to share them with our guests. All of my guests loved Justin and his team and commented on how amazing our photographers were. I cannot recommend Justin and his team enough. They truly captured the best moments of our wedding and I'm grateful that we'll have these photos forever. Thank you Justin!

    Justin was the best! I would recommend him to my closest friends. Such good people. He made us feel so comfortable even though we were totally out of our element. He estimated about two weeks to get the photos back to us and was just a couple days over the two week mark. What was great though is he texts us and let us know when they would be ready!

    Max Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Amy! You guys were an absolute pleasure to work with. I hope that my first state park engagement session won't be my last!

    We absolutely FELL IN LOVE with Justin and Max Photography. He photographed our engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding and we could not have dreamed up a better photographer for us. From the very beginning Justin made sure that we were comfortable and that our true selves came out in the photos. After our engagement session we got so many compliments because the photos were just incredible. Justin allowed us to be spontaneous and playful and was a great mix of candid and posed. He worked with us to find the photo package that fit our budget and got the pictures back to us in an extremely timely manner compared to our friends' photographers. Justin took time to help us find great locations for photos and took the time to take as many photos as he could. The communication was great and as an LGBT couple he made us feel VERY welcome and comfortable. I don't think we could say enough about Justin and how amazing he was. If we ever need professional photos taken again, he is our guy. I see that he is known for his photo booth, but he should be known for his photography. The guy is a pro and a gem!

    Justin is the best around, hands down.

    When we started researching photographers, we were skeptical that he had nothing but five-star reviews. Who is this guy? Surely somebody has had a bad experience? No. People are giving him five stars only because they can't give him six or 10 or a friggin' galaxy.

    We loved how communicative and thoughtful Justin is. When we'd ask a bunch of questions about timing or shot lists, he replied promptly with honest and helpful answers. When we met up with him before the event, he instantly felt like an old friend. His kind demeanor and joking personality made us feel super at ease on the big day (no mean feat!), and his second shooter and photobooth attendant were stellar as well.

    We are in love with our wedding photos—a perfect balance of candids, portraits, details, and scenery, all with great lighting and an eye for composition—and we now just have to make difficult decisions about how many we want to print for ourselves and family. No one could've captured us or our day better.

    P.S. Justin gets bonus points for being the only one of our vendors to consistently cc both of us on emails instead of just replying to one or the other. (You'll be amazed at how rare that is!)

    The team did a fantastic job in accommodating our unique take on a wedding. It was a wonderful experience that resulted in some amazing photographs of our special moment. If I ever need to have professional photography work done in the Austin area again I know exactly who to contact.
