About

Approach

Oftentimes the most precious moments are also the most fleeting. Braden aims not just to preserve these moments, but to capture their intangible nature. With over a decade of experience learning to master light and equipped with an eclectic selection of cameras, Braden approaches every wedding as if he’s a guest with a camera. This experience, in addition to utilizing both film and digital mediums creates a unique depth to Braden's images, which is what sets his work apart. More important than the cameras he uses is his relaxing presence and charismatic nature, allowing him capture images that are organic and timeless. Rather than command attention and fabricate scenes, Braden acts as an artist of observation. This approach leads to beautifully honest and elegant photographs that will transport you and future generations to your wedding day for years to come.

Braden is an LGBTQ+ ally. He fully supports all of his clients- no matter what their love looks like.

Every year, I book only a limited number of weddings to create the best possible experience from beginning to end for my clients. If you wish to move forward with the booking process, please reach out as soon as possible to ensure your date availability.

The BEST decision we made for our wedding!

Braden did an incredible job documenting our wedding! He was so thoughtful and thorough to capture all the moments and personalities or our friends and families. Although it took quite some time to receive the photos (its not an easy task, but he was wonderfully communicative throughout) we were SO grateful and they turned out stunning. We had numerous friends reach out and tell us how stunning and unique the photos looked! Braden was also very flexible and offered to take extra time out of his personal schedule to stay an extra two days and dedicate additional couple photography time. Those were some of our favorite images and we really could not thank him (and his wife) enough! He's not only a wonderful photographer, but now also a dear friend we hope to reunite with again soon!

The perfect experience!

As a lover of photography, hiring the right person to capture my wedding day was of the utmost importance. I discovered Braden via Instagram and was immediately drawn to the allure of his photography style - after reading his bio and learning what he was all about, I knew he was our guy. Admittedly, I was nervous to tell my fiancee that the photographer I want to hire is based in Utah, as we're in California; I knew he'd think I was out of my mind, and he of course did! That being said, he entertained the idea and after our first facetime call with Braden he was completely on board.

It's hard not to like Braden when you first encounter him. He's especially personable and friendly, and just has a way of making you feel like an old friend which was comforting. Despite the distance, Braden was easy to communicate with. He was readily available to answer any questions we had, and provided helpful tools to aid in the planning process.

We wanted a photographer that could capture not only the details of the day, but feelings. We couldn't be happier with Braden's delivery as his photos evoke exactly that. His stylistic framing, editing and the way he captured some of the most unique, happy and silly moments have us full of smiles and tears each time we revisit the photos. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we truly enjoyed every moment of having him and Alynn in our presence. Thank you guys for making us comfortable in our most vulnerable moments and for being all around incredible humans - you made our wedding experience extra special and we can't thank you enough!

Braden is the best wedding photographer

Braden, and his wife Alynn, were so amazing to work with! Braden took both our engagement and wedding day photos. During the engagement session, he made my husband and I feel very comfortable and made it so much fun! On the wedding day, he did an incredible job working around the crazy schedule and all of our crazy friends and family members! My husband and I both had 12 bridesmaids and groomsmen. It was a lot to handle, but Braden made it seem effortless. His energy and fun personality was contagious! Braden did such an amazing job capturing our wedding. The pictures were beautiful and he captured every sweet moment. My husband and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
