Meet Austin Wedding Photographer – John Winters
Photography is a huge part of my life and I am so happy to be included in this awesome community as an Austin Wedding Photographer. My love of all things photo was sparked by my grandfather who was an aerial recon photographer in World War 2. He passed his cameras down to my Dad, my sister, and then to me. I learned on 35 mm film and still love the magic of the format. In addition I’m a big fan of classic rock, an avid guitar player, and am a huge fan of terrible dad-jokes.
Wedding photography is so much more than snapping a few frames. It’s about being a part of the experience, making connections, and meeting new people. Whether it’s laughter, joy, or romance, there is nothing better than being able to show what a couple’s love is all about through images. I care about the moments first and foremost. Let’s create some magic, make memories, and have an experience that you won’t soon forget!
Thank you for visiting my site. I look forward to chatting with you about your wedding day : )
– John

Incredible Photographer, Wonderful to Work With
I am absolutely blown away by the incredible wedding photos we came away with. John is a phenomenal photographer, but he's also a great person and ver...y easy to work with. We hired him for our wedding and engagement shoot. He is reliable, personable, and professional. He listened to what our concerns and wishes were with what we were wanting from our photography and accomplished exactly what we asked for.
We were both super awkward for posed photos but he found ways to make us look super natural (no idea how).
I know we weren't easy, because I told him I absolutely hate posed photos, we did most of them before the ceremony and told him that once the ceremony hit, I wanted to enjoy the cocktail hour with my guests and we gave him like 20 minutes for posed photos lol. He nailed it!
Our dream was to have photos mostly candid and of us and our guests just enjoying themselves and it's exactly what we got. I loved how many energetic candid shots he got of our guests in perfectly fun moments.
He is tremendously talented and my husband and I both enjoyed working with him and getting to know him. We also were very appreciative that he was always very responsive when communicating, hit every deadline he had promised with turnaround for our photos, and gave us completely realistic timelines. Special shoutout to his delivery of a few photos earlier so we could use them for Christmas/Hannukah cards!
I cannot recommend him enough. Go with John and you'll be in great hands.

Awesome experience with John!
John Winters is a gem of a guy! We LOVE our wedding photos. If you’re looking for unique, creative wedding photos, he’s definitely worth the inves...tment. John was super responsive throughout our wedding planning, which we really appreciated. He kept us informed and he helped us make quick decisions with his timely info. The picture gallery that he delivered at the end of the shoot was so beautiful – he even worked hard to get it to us quickly during the very busy holiday season. We cried when we saw the pics for the first time - he shoots with such vibrancy and emotion. John, we’re grateful for you and we’ll recommend you enthusiastically to everyone we know!

John Winters delivers!
John Winters delivers! What a wonderful wedding photography experience he created. We’re over the moon with our photos. These are the memories we’...ll cherish for a lifetime and now we have them captured in the most creative, spirited, dramatic, and fun way - thanks to the inventiveness and talent of our photographer, John Winters.
From the start, we knew exactly what we wanted: Someone with a lot of heart, creative vision, bold ideas, emotional colors, and thoughtful compositions - John is all of these things (and more.) He made us feel at ease on our zoom prep calls. He brought a delightful second shooter with him and worked quickly (even while setting up difficult shots) - an essential skill during a fast-paced wedding.
At the church, he sprayed things in the air to create dramatic texture (photos were WOW!), positioned himself in the perfect spots in perfect timing to capture the unforgettable moments, and seemed to be everywhere without being obtrusive.
We didn’t want boring, standard, posed shots of our wedding. We wanted a more documentary/journalistic take – someone who could make us *feel* how we felt on that day when enjoying the pics years from now. That’s exactly how John approaches his craft. Along with our gorgeous, unique portraits, we have funny shots of bridesmaids crying into rose petals, kids passed out, grandparents drunk on the dance floor. John captured it all – and he did it with style! Thank you, we’re grateful.
