Austin Event Photographer
Austin is not just the “Live Music Capital of the World.” It is also one of the country’s fastest growing hubs for business, technology, and large scale events. Companies come here for its vibrant culture, world class venues, and reputation as a city that blends business with fun. From conventions at the Austin Convention Center to intimate client dinners at boutique hotels, the city offers a wide range of options for corporate gatherings.
That is where I come in. As a full time Austin event photographer with more than a decade of experience, I have covered everything from multi day conferences and trade shows to leadership summits, SXSW activations, nonprofit galas, and brand launches. My approach is methodical, efficient, and flexible. I draft a plan for each event and work backward with the goal of creating images that feel connected, candid, and true to your brand.
SXSW Event Photography
There is no bigger stage in Austin than South by Southwest (SXSW). Every March, thousands of brands, innovators, and leaders come to the city to showcase new ideas and connect with their audiences. For many companies, SXSW is the highlight of the year, and photography plays a critical role in making sure those investments live on long after the conference ends.
Here is what I provide as a SXSW event photographer:
Same Day Highlight Galleries
Every day of your event, I deliver 30 to 100 fully edited images ready for press releases, social media, and internal communications. In a week as fast moving as SXSW, speed matters, and my clients count on me for visuals they can use immediately.
On Site Team Headshots
For many brands, SXSW is the only time the entire team is together. Arrange for your employees leave Austin with updated, consistent environmental portraits and headshots that align with your brand. Coming to Austin as an individual to speak on a panel? Hire me for an hour to cover part of your panel and then get updated on-the-go environmental headshots that take advantage of how great you look for your speaking engagement and all the colorful backdrops Austin has to offer!
Story Driven Coverage
SXSW is not just about panels or parties. It is about energy, creativity, and connection. I capture candid moments, sponsor activations, crowds in motion, and real interactions that give your brand a library of imagery to use for months.
Efficient and Independent
With years of SXSW under my belt, I know the venues, the lighting challenges, and the pace. I operate independently and anticipate needs before they arise so your team can focus on running the event, not managing the photographer.
The result is a mix of powerful highlights and long term assets that show your brand in the best light.

Why Work With Me
My photography is built on patience and observation. I believe the best photographer is not always the one chasing moments but the one who notices them as they unfold. I watch for the small details that matter, like sponsor signage behind engaged and happy people, candid interactions that show real connection, and I’m not beyond staging your swag in the hands of cute women with great nails to get the shot that I need.
I work methodically and efficiently. I create a plan that balances your goals with the flow of your event. I thrive in fast paced environments, whether it is a boardroom or the energy of SXSW. Most importantly, I deliver images that help you tell your story well beyond the closing session.

The result? A gallery that helped their team connect, celebrate, and even pitch future sponsors with confidence.
