My hometown is known for a lot of things – tacos, live music, quirkiness, AND having best Austin wedding venues! There’s a reason why this area is known as the “Wedding Capital of Texas.” From chic downtown locations, to hip east side hangs, to breathtaking Hill Country venues, and everything in between, Austin is the perfect destination for any couple to get married (after all: y’all means ALL).

Having been a photographer for almost 10 years, I have shot at most of the wedding venues in the Austin. Over the years, I’ve definitely collected my favorites and instead of feeling totally overwhelmed when someone asks “what are your favorite wedding venues?” I wanted to have a nice compact list to share! Below is a more detailed list of some of my favorites to photograph at (based on the landscape, the architecture, the convenience, the natural light, the location, and the vibe) – along with a few others that we have on our wish list.
