Contact Austin Francis Sylvest

I’m a wedding photographer and videographer based in Boulder, Colorado. I'm driven by a deep love of honest moments and art. My style is laid back & honest; the kind of images that allow every loving, meaningful, moment to come rushing back to you. I like to shoot weddings as a documentarian; capturing the day as it unfolds, celebrating the triumph of your journey.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

Based in Colorado, USA and travel exclusively to Iceland & New Orleans. Travel fees are included in all pricing.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I've been in business since 2016 and have been photographing and filming weddings full time since 2020!

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

I'm a fly on the wall and very influenced by music, cinema and art. All of these mediums shape the way I view film. But Sculpture best captures my approach. Like a work of art unveiled from a single block of stone, your story already exists. It’s just a matter of trimming away the excess and getting to the core of what brought you both together.

My goal isn’t to create a trendy narrative or portray couples in a way that misrepresents them. Rather - take the time to understand what you’re looking for, what you want from your wedding day, understand your journey, and provide you with an experience unique to you.

Rather, it's to preserve a unique viewpoint of your life that you might otherwise overlook and share this in a way that best captures and inspires you– for this life & generations to come.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

For the most up-to-date pricing follow the link in my bio! However - I can tell you that for photography only couples are typically spending between $5,000-$8,500 and for photography and videography together $7,500-$12,500.

If you'd like to learn more just shoot me an email! I'd love to see if we're a good fit for one another & if we can work out a customized option that works best for you.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I currently live in Boulder, Co and love to meet copules in person. If you're in the area and would like to just shoot me an email and I'll buy you a beer or coffee & we can get to know one another!

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I actually have a 4-year degree in recording industry management! After working in the field for a bit after graduating, I realized a needed a more creative outlet. After picking up a camera the rest is history. While I don't shoot shows anymore, I love talking music & might have photographed your favorite artist at some point!

Is there anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

Just know - I'm here to help & support - You don’t need all the answers - just a dream of what you want - and I'll do my best to get you there. I'm always a phone call or text away for anything you might need.
