Laura and Eric Sartoris
Laura and Eric are the owners of and photographers for Anthology Photography in Austin. We’re proud of our reputation as the premier wedding and portrait studio, offering top-notch customer service and unbridled enthusiasm. We are different from a lot of other husband and wife teams in that we we were both successful wedding photographers before we met. Once we joined lives and businesses, things took off in the most fabulous ways imaginable! We have never had so much fun, or given our couples such detailed and beautiful stories. We know we must have some great karma because we get all the coolest, most fun and most lovable brides and grooms, and all the best weddings. We LOVE our job!
We enjoy and excel at all kinds of photography. In our personal lives, Eric is all about travel photography. Laura adores children’s portraiture and astrophotography. Our greatest thrill comes from weddings, though. We really live for the moment when we show our couples their wedding slideshow for the first time, and they get all choked up, again!
We take weddings VERY seriously, making sure we’ve covered every possible angle, each small detail, and every fleeting moment. We combine myriad styles of photography to ensure absolutely complete coverage. The storybook albums we create include the best of traditional portraiture, artistic elements, authentic photojournalism, and stunning editorial/fashion images. While we like to push ourselves creatively and stay on the cutting edge, we also are acutely aware of the fact that couples want albums that will still look amazing in 50 years. We make sure that no matter how artsy we feel, our pictures always reflect the personalities of our clients.
