Shooting At The Driskill Hotel
Updated July 2026
The Driskill Hotel is one of Austin's most storied landmarks, a Romanesque Revival building dating to 1886 that has hosted Texas governors' inaugural balls since 1887 and remains the oldest operating hotel in the city. Its ornate lobby, Grand Staircase, and historic Ballroom give any wedding a sense of old-world grandeur that is hard to replicate elsewhere. Shooting here means working around a live, daily-operating hotel: public spaces share time with other guests, and decor, flame, and load-in logistics follow the strict rules typical of a historic landmark property. The Grand Staircase in particular is the shot most couples build their timeline around, so confirming access windows with the hotel's events team early is essential.

Honestly still looking through the gallery from our wedding in Pinecrest and I’m just so grateful to Candid Studios!! These guys made everything feel so effortless even with the crazy heat on the day. Our photographer captured all the little candid moments we didn’t even notice happening and our videographer got the most perfect shots of the ceremony that honestly brought us both to tears. You get exactly what you pay for and then some. If anyone is looking for wedding photography and videography in Miami I couldn’t recommend them more!

Candid Studios really knocked it out of the park for our portrait session in Pompano Beach. Our photographer was so easy to work with and totally put us at ease even though we were feeling a little awkward on set. We are still looking through the gallery and just keep laughing at how natural some of these photos turned out. If you are looking for great portrait photography in Fort Lauderdale do yourself a favor and book them because y’all made the whole day feel so easy!

Ryan captured every single moment perfectly and got some great candid shots. How he managed to be everywhere at once and the quality of service and photos delivered was beyond what I expected. I have gone on to recommend him to friends who are getting married soon and will continue to do so. If you need a photographer for your wedding or any special event, Ryan with Candid Studios is it!

He made us feel so at ease, making us laugh & just enjoying each and every moment and it truly shows in the beautiful photos. He captured so many of the special candid moments with such attention to detail and creativity. Going through the finished photographs brought me to tears (happy ones). It was like reliving the day all over. Every photo touched our hearts in some way and we will cherish the memories forever!! Thank you Ryan and your team for all your hard work & dedication in making our wedding day in photographs so stunning! You have a true gift for capturing people’s emotions and it certainly shows in the quality of your work. We would highly recommend Candid Studios!! ***** Linda P. & George K. 5/2/26
