Winery Weddings

Our Winery venue used Be Still Images for our weddings and our Jazz concerts. Her work is phenomenal. We especially liked the candid shots that she took. She also used the winery grounds to take family and birthday photos. We used her photos for our brochures and wine club flyers.

Its now been seven years and we still love our photo album.
Brenda was excellent and worked well with us so that we got everything we could have wanted. She had many helpful suggestions and when the weather turned bad, she really came through with creative solutions to so we have plenty of photos to remember our wedding day.

We look forward to hiring Be Still Images for future important events.

I hired Brenda to take photos of my head shots because I'm an entertainer and so I called to see if she would do my wedding a year later, She said yes, I had no idea she was such a good wedding photographer since I only knew her from a professional standpoint as an entertainer. She has an eye for catching the moment, and made my wife feel at ease. We are very happy and she was very accommodating and personal. Five stars all the way.

I like how creative the shots were and how just about every aspect of our wedding was captured. I like how the landscape and interior's were all used to create great photograph's.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
