Reviews of Briggs Photography

Book with Briggs NOW!

We LOVE Shawna and Richard. They did such an amazing job capturing the special moments on our wedding day. And let me tell you.... we were not an easy group with 11 groomsmen and 11 bridesmaids. Shawna handled it like a champ telling everyone where to go and how to pose. The shots came out AMAZING... we could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. If you are debating who to book, look no further!!

Best Photographers in a town!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!

Shawna and Richard are the best photographers in town! They definitely have a gift and work great together. They make you feel so comfortable while taking pictures and help capture great memories! They are very professional and great to be around. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, they make sure they get what they need, to make sure they give you a variety of shots. Although the wedding was on a tight time schedule, they were able to make sure we got the shots needed in the time frame that they had. They also make sure to give you some sneak peak photos just a couple days after. And we're excited to see what the rest of the photos look like. Definitely recommend them for any photo shoot needed. They are awesome people and make sure you are happy. They truly are the best at what they do and look forward to booking them for future events!

There are not enough good words in the world to describe this dynamic team. Working with Shawna and Richard Briggs was SEAMLESS, FUN, and (in my opinion) AFFORDABLE. They are so intuitive and scored so amazing shots of me and my husband during our engagement and wedding. They are so kind and patient, and they make everything so relaxed. Absolutely loved working with them an would recommend them to ANY bride looking for an amazing photographer.

We had an amazing experience working with Shawna and Richard! We were planning our Northern California Wedding from Seattle and they were a pleasure to work with and made the whole process so easy!

We did our engagement session in San Francisco and the photos were incredible. They were relaxed and easy to work with and put both my husband and I at ease throughout the whole session. We were even happier when we saw the photos-they captured us beautifully.

We had the same experience the day of the wedding, they were so relaxed which helped all of us enjoy the day! We have not received all our photos yet, but the few we have seen are great and I can't wait to see the rest. Richard and Shawna also worked great with out DJ and our venue, they all had worked together before and had a great relationship, they were professional and kind throughout the whole process and it was clear they enjoyed what they were doing and who they were working with.

Briggs Photography provided photography services for my wedding. They were very professional and friendly with all our guests and family members. They made my husband and I feel relaxed during the event. They were very responsive to our emails and calls leading up to the event. They answered all our questions about day of details, and made sure all our requested photos were taken - and we requested many specific family shots at the event. We also hired them for our engagement photos a few months beforehand, and these photos turned out great as well. Our final wedding photo products (photo books, canvas print, flash drive with all pictures) turned out so beautiful - we are so happy with how our photos turned out and couldn't have asked for anything more. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality photography services for a wedding or special event.

I was so blessed to work with Briggs Photography on my wedding day! They make you feel comfortable in front of a camera and take the most amazing pictures! They really took the time to get to know my husbands and I, which made working with them that much better. They work really hard to capture the exact pictures you have always dreamed about for your wedding day. Pictures of your wedding day will be one of the best memories you will have for a lifetime so I highly recommend going with Briggs Photography!

Cant say enough about Briggs Photography, great people to work with and they do AMAZING work. Don't waste your time bargain hunting for a photographer for your event, if you want quality photos these are the people you need to contact, especially if its an important event like your wedding. I would, and do, recommend them to everyone I know.

Briggs went above and beyond to make our special day a dream come true! They went out of their way to make us comfortable and serve all of our needs and requests. We have and will continue to recommend them to everyone looking for a fun and more than capable team to make all of their wants and needs PERFECT! I would not have chosen anyone else to capture our special day and we can not thank them enough for the beautiful memories that they captured so vividly for us (engagement and wedding wise). We have come very close to Briggs Photography and are lucky enough to call them our friends now!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Richard and Shawna are truly one of the best team of photographers I've had the pleasure to work with!!! The are able to keep to take amazing pictures while also keeping the wedding on track... Most of all they are a lot of FUN!!! Great sense of humor to lighten up what could be a an uncomfortable experience; especially if you are not used to photo shoots... Ive had the pleasure to work with Richard and Shawna for over 100+ weddings.... We instinctively know what eachother is getting ready to do. Makes a big difference during a wedding which has sooo many moving parts... When hiring Briggs you are hiring peace of mind.... Dont make the mistake of hiring some amateur that doesnt know the flow of weddings... Can drastically effect the outcome of your wedding day!!!
