Above and beyond

Brooke went above and beyond. Helped bustle my dress, fixed my eyelashes, rallied family, and followed our party bus around town for hours. She was so professional and not afraid to get involved. Plus the photos and free flash drive came all nice and branded with a hand written note. I send all my friends her way

Energetic and organized

Brooke is super bubbly and I absolute loved having her by my side through the day. We decided to skip couples photos during the family and bridal hour and instead opted for golden hour photos. HIGHLY recommend booking the extra hours to include it! If I had another wedding (which I won't do), I'd book her again

Knowledgeable, worth every penny, memorable photos

How do I even begin? Brooke, someone I met at SVSU and through work, gave me and my family and friends the photos we will always cherish. I met with Brooke with my now husband, Seth, and knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. She was very professional, did her research, and was able to accommodate and capture the moments we wanted! Brooke communicated well with us since day one through text, email, and Zoom calls. For the wedding day, she knew just what to do and I felt as ease (because of all the hard work she did beforehand)! She dressed professionally and fit for the occasion. Also, kudos to her helping me get dressed, haha! That was a free bonus, I suppose! I am happy to support someone I once worked with and get to see grow more each year in her photography career. Thank you, again, Brooke for all you did for us!

All our love and gratitude,
Seth & Audrey Bearden
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
