Born in Los Angeles. Based in Omaha. Traveling wherever the story leads
Austin Taylor is a self-taught filmmaker and documentarian. What started as a quiet moment in his garage with a borrowed camera in 2022, turned into the spark that redefined the trajectory of his life completely. Others saw potential he didn’t yet see in himself, and that encouragement set him on a path he couldn’t ignore. He spent the following year filming, editing, and learning nonstop. No roadmap. Just instinct, grit, and a deep pull toward storytelling.
Since then, Austin has traveled the country capturing weddings, concerts, and moments you can’t recreate. It’s become more than a craft– it’s the lens through which he views the world.
Austin Taylor documents stories honestly and artfully, with an eye for the in-between—where the real moments live. His bespoke approach to cinematography reflects a deep commitment to preserving one of life’s most important days.
Working with Austin was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our very first phone call, he shared his vision of taking a different approach to wedding cinematography—one rooted in a documentary style. We trusted him completely and gave him full creative freedom, and the result was nothing short of amazing. Throughout the entire wedding day, Austin was there, quietly and consistently capturing every moment, every emotion, and every detail in the most authentic, unfiltered way. From our first cup of coffee in the morning to shutting down the Durham, he was present—never missing a beat. Austin is friendly, personable, and deeply creative—a true storyteller who delivers timeless, heartfelt films. We’re so grateful to have had him document our day. Our wedding film is something we cherish deeply and love rewatching again and again because it beautifully captures who we are and tells our love story with honesty and soul
It all begins with a song for me. The tones and textures invoke the emotion. The way you tell your story through music can make all the difference.
