“I first met Weston at the very beginning stages of the development of my East Austin studio. At the time I had little fitness industry experience but I had a strong entrepreneurial background coupled with a passion for fitness and community. Weston was invaluable to helping me begin my journey into the Austin fitness world. He spend hours helping to hone in on my studio services as well as develop my marketing and public relations strategy. He introduced me to his wide network of professionals in the fitness and related industries here in Austin. His photography skills speak for themself. We have been so happy with his services and use his images in all of our marketing and social media campaigns. In addition, the inside and outside of our studio display many of his photographs making the E + E experience what it is.”
– Becky Donovan Brown, founder
“Weston is not only a photographer, but a connector of people, and truly engaged in the Austin fitness community. We connected over coffee when I was brand new to Austin and getting ready to open my studio. I was impressed with his knowledge of everything photography but also marketing. He pointed me in the direction of so many wonderful people, PR agencies, and businesses to connect with as I launched Urban Lagree. I’m excited to be able to continue to work with Weston. He brings impeccable knowledge to anyone trying to launch, brand, or connect with others in the fitness industry.”
