As a wedding planner, I had many vendors I could choose from. I had worked with Brad for a couple of years and knew what to expect. Amazing quality photos for a wonderful price was exactly what he provided. Brad goes above and beyond for all of his clients. He always is willing to stay the extra time to capture every moment. Sometimes I often wonder how he gets the shots he does because you never see him! He is so generous and always willing to do what it takes to give you the best photos.

One thing I would like to say is that I know many people are upset he takes a long time in getting photos back. Being a vendor, I have different feelings than most. But I will say, I am beginning to see more and more that photographers are uping their production time and constantly posting to social media. This is something Brad does not do. Good quality works takes time! I do understand being frustrated if photos don't come as quickly as you expected or takes months, but I remind my clients and myself, that in 20 years it won't matter that it took 5 months to get your incredible photos back!

Overall Brad is an incredible value and I think for the money and for the quality of photos it is worth the wait :)

Professional, Kind, and worth every penny. It was like you didn't even know they were there. Thank you Brad!

My husband and I are delighted with our choice of Brad Howe as a photographer. We can't recommend him enough. He was so easygoing - we barely even knew he was there. He caught every moment, and got every shot that we asked for - plus so many more! His work is just beautiful. We had an outdoor wedding and reception - with unseasonably cold weather - and Brad and his assistant toughed it out the whole time - beginning to end. It was about a 3 month turnaround time for our photos - and well worth the wait for the quality and attention to detail he put into finishing the photos.

My husband and I could not recommend Brad Howe any more. His laid-back but professional style, incredible skill, and reasonable prices make him the perfect photographer. Although it costs quite a bit (but is still in the mid range as far as wedding photographers go), I guarantee you will not be disappointed. One thing that makes Brad stand out above the rest (besides his exemplary photographs) is that you have full copyright to all your images, which means you end up saving a heck of a lot of money by not buying $5 reprints and $600 wedding albums. Brad Howe is perfect!!

Brad was wonderful to work with. My husband and I are not the type that can pose at will so we wanted a more photojournalistic approach and Brad provided that. We hardly knew he was there and were very pleased with the amazing images he captured.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I swear Brad and his assistant were one of the few reasons I remained sane on my wedding day with so many venue problems. Starting from our first meeting to our beautiful engagement pictures to finally our wedding day, I will probably call Brad for any and every photography need I have. He was patient, joking, and super easy to work with, especially since neither I nor my now husband are all too keen on posing for pictures. He truly captures those moments throughout the day that make you smile when you see them again. I knew he was an amazing photographer when we booked him, but when my husband starting tearing up looking at the wedding pictures again, I was once again sold on Brad and his abilities.

Brad shot our wedding day in the norfolk botanical gardens. For me, a photographer was the most important vendor to book because once the day is over all you have are pictures and memories. His prices were super competitive with comparative work costing over 4 grand. He even was flexible and tacked on an additional 2 hours for free making it a 10 hour day. the pictures are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Brad is laid back and not "in your face", so he caught many moments when we didn't even realize photos were being taken. I've gotten many, many compliments on the pics and couldn't rave about him enough. The only issue I had was he took a while(about 3 months) to get the pics back to us- but they were worth the wait. due to the long wait he gave us a $250 gift certificate for free printing. A + all the way.

Wedding was early June, have only seen before wedding proofs. Other brides got married in September and photographers are showing off on FB their photos. Would suggest looking for another photgrapher. About time to call the BBB.

I have only seen very few pictures from our wedding and it was EIGHT months ago. Brad and his assistant were very nice and helpful they seemed to get a lot of great shots. What we have seen are good but they are all very similar I have no idea what else he got. I just cannot believe it has taken 8 months and who knows how much longer until we get them. We are very disappointed since we had heard such great things.

Before your wedding, Brad is fantastic, responsive and attentive to what you want for your wedding. However, after your wedding, good luck hearing back from him. We didn't receive our wedding photos until we had already been married ONE YEAR. We had to beg to receive photos to take to my grandmother who was too old to attend my wedding months afterwards. We are now trying to receive our wedding album and its now been 18 months after our wedding. I have emailed Brad twice now and haven't received any response. I am hopeful to hear something back or I'll be filing a report with the BBB as we already paid the money and still haven't received our product.

Brad and I have worked together on many events over the past three years. Clients consistently tell me that his calm demeanor and ability to shoot without feeling like he's overly-present helped them feel very at east on their wedding days. His photos are stunning and he's a breeze to work with. He's at the top of my photography recommendations - a short list that is very competitive and tough to break into.
