HARPER
BLANKENSHIP
Hybrid Digital & Film Wedding Photographer | Austin, Texas
pretty PORTRAITS, CANDID STORYTELLING, & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
I photograph weddings with a passion for telling genuine stories, using simple and natural direction for classic and flattering portraits, and as much artsy fartsiness as I can throw in to tie it all together and make it all extra fun to look at. My goal isn't to make you look like vogue models, but to help you feel great in your portraits, and really seen in the candid images that capture the heart of your day. For you, and your loved ones who are both here now and in the future.
MEET HARPER
I've been a full-time wedding photographer since the dawn of time (just kidding, it's been 12 years). I am a sentimental, silly, go-with-the-flow sort of person, which makes me the right fit for you if you're looking for a laidback photographer who can help you come out of your shell for real smiles, catch the little moments of happiness that you can't plan for, and still help you with simple posing if you're worried about looking awkward (no I won't make you pretend to be airplanes or run in slow motion.. probably).
My approach is mostly centered around candid/documentary style work, in the sense that I'm constantly on the lookout for great candid shots, and little things that help fill in the story so that the full collection feels complete and genuine. BUT, I don't think it has to be all only that. 9.5 times out of 10, my couples are also after those pretty portraits where they are told exactly what to do to look their best, and I happily make sure that we have the time set aside during your wedding day to make those photos happen, too. My goal is really to get a little of everything, and shape things around your personalities as much as possible.
