The BEST of the absolute BEST!!!!

Bri and Wes are the absolute best photographers out there! They photographed my sisters wedding three years ago and when it came time to find a photographer for my own wedding, I honestly knew there was only one option. I have been a bridesmaid countless times and been around weddings quite a bit, they can quite literally make or break your wedding day and the priceless photos capturing the memories of your big day. Bri and Wes are SO incredibly professional and helpful. They met with us to walk through the entire day’s timeline ahead of time to make sure things ran smoothly and gave honest feedback from their experience. Their graceful ability to wrangle family for family formals is unmatched. They captured everything and more on our must have photo list. Im obsessed with all of our photos, I quite literally cannot pick my favorite because they are all so amazing. They capture the posed stuff that you need but do the best job capturing the candid moments as well. They are a joy to have by your side all day long and at this point feel like part of our family! We LOVED having Bri and Wes as our photographers and cannot recommend them highly enough!!!!!

amazing experience with wonderful photographers

Bri and Wes were an absolute dream come true! Look no further for a photographer (for any occasion) because they are just amazing! From planning to taking the photos to receiving the photos was just an absolute breeze. They are professionals that communicate very well, and make the entire process fun and comfortable, never an awkward moment. Made our wedding memories magical with the photos they took. I would highly recommend Bri to everyone and anyone!

The best photography team

WOW! I really don't know how to express how amazing Bri and Wes were to work with. From the time we met Bri at our engagement photo session, over a year before our wedding, we knew she was going to be the perfect fit. Her fun and vibrant personality makes you feel so at ease, even as awkward as getting your photo taken may be at times. She has been so easy to communicate with through the entire wedding planning process.

The actual wedding day was no different. Her and Wes as a team are actual GOALS. They are both so sweet. Bri stayed with me and my bridal squad the entire morning of, capturing amazing moments. While Wes was with my husband and his friends and family. They both captured so may amazing pictures and moments throughout the day. They were timely, professional, efficient and FUN! So many of our guests commented at how kind and talented the photographers were and it's so true.

We can not recommend them enough. And as a plus, they got us our full wedding album in such a quick time period which I was not expecting. Our photos turned out so perfect and more than we could have ever imagined. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Bri and Wes for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Wowie Zowie!

Just do yourself a favor and hire Bri & Wes photography. From our engagement photos to our wedding day album, we couldn't have been more pleased. First and foremost, Bri and Wes are kind people, the type of people you WANT by your side on such an important day. Their talent speaks for itself; our wedding photos are beautiful, timeless, and joyful. They managed to capture the most beautiful moments of the day, from the small details to the big emotions. Bri & Wes are passionate about their craft and will deliver you a stunning service. They remain one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

Brilliant photography and experience

Bri and Wes were amazing to work with for our wedding day photos! They are both really lovely people who did a brilliant job managing a big wedding party (10 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen and big families!) to capture beautiful photos on a tight wedding day schedule in a fun but productive way. They even managed to capture the sheep that lived at our wedding venue in fantastic photos with us and our wedding party!

They developed over 1,000 photos of the wedding and literally every single one looks amazing. My husband and I tend to get awkward in front of a camera, but they made us look so natural. In addition to working so well with people, they have a real eye for detailed shots of the wedding decor. The wedding day went so quickly and it was hard to take in all the details I spent a year planning - I'm so glad I have a big collection of photos that captures all those small but super important features of the day.

They also provided great advice and recommendations for how to print the photos to make sure you get the best quality for your wedding album. A year on, I'm still just struggling to curate my album as I have tons of gorgeous photos to choose from!

Best Photographers!

Where do I even begin?! Bri + Wes are the best of the best. We have known them both for a few years [they've done a family shoot for us and of course engagement photos] and they are just amazing. From the moment they walked in my parents house the day of the wedding they were calm and organized and moved through photos with such ease. Even those who aren't comfortable being photographed felt comfortable with them! We also had sneak peek photos the NEXT DAY! Amazing! I can't stop looking at them. They are absolutely breathtaking. They also did an amazing job of capturing every single photo we asked for on our must have and family formal list. It was so nice being able to take all of our formal photos before the ceremony. We even had time to squeeze in some sunset photos! Wes also drove us around for photos...photographer and chauffeur, AMAZING! Our guests kept commenting how sweet and kind the two of you were...you blended in seamlessly and that is hard to do! Bri + Wes thank you for making our day so special. Can't wait to create more memories with you as we grow our family. Love you both!

My favorite vendors!!

These two could not have made us feel more comfortable or at ease on our wedding day. They were fantastic!! I actually had so many people compliment our photographers on being so amazing! I didn't even know that happened or that guests would even notice that! Not only are they great photographer but also amazing people and an adorable couple! Bri is so organized and helpful it was so so great working with them. Book these two!!!

Fantastic photographers!

Hiring Bri and Wes for our wedding was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process! My husband and I have large, unruly families and wanted a photographer who could control large groups efficiently. From our first phone call with Bri and Wes, we knew we were in good hands. They are consummate professionals with tons of experience and wonderful attitudes. They made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so by the time of the wedding, we felt like they were friends of ours who were just there to enjoy the big day. The work together seamlessly and captured every photo we could have ever wanted. The final wedding photos were prettier than we could have imagined. We can't wait to order tons of prints and look back at them every chance we get. We can't recommend Bri and Wes enough!

Thank you for the most perfect wedding photos!

Hiring Bri & Wes was the best decision we ever made! From our engagement session AND our wedding photos we will have pictures we cherish forever. I truly enjoyed working with them. They took charge and get the job done! I asked to take pictures outside of several different locations and they made it all work! Bri & Wes are quick and made sure they captured beautiful shots but still gave us time to enjoy the actual wedding. We are so thankful for these two and would (and will) hire them again!

We cant say thank you enough for capturing our special day so perfectly!

Bri & Wes are the best!

My wife and I interviewed multiple photographers after we got engaged. We were interested in a team that would be able to shoot our engagement session and our wedding, when we met Bri & Wes, we knew we had found the best!

Bri & Wes are incredibly friendly, easy to work with, and upbeat - not to mention they take amazing photos! Bri & Wes make it feel like you're just enjoying a day out with friends and taking pictures, and then once you see the images you realize that they are immaculate and professionally done!

Bri & Wes drove up to DC (where my wife and I live) to shoot our engagement photos in the wee hours of the morning and took pictures around DC that look like they could be used on DC postcards!

We dug their work and their vibe so much that we also hired them to shoot our welcome party/rehearsal dinner! All of the photos; engagement, welcome party, and the wedding day transport my wife and I right back to the events!

You can stop your search for wedding photographers right now, Bri & Wes are the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
