About

Brightwood Photography was started when three friends chose to capture the joy they saw in the world around them.

We are storytellers who are committed to documenting your day and making you smile. Over the past few years, we've learned to embrace our ability to visually share what life and love is all about.

On a more personal side, we're all true believers that a good hike is good for the mind and soul. We love taking risks and we consider getting our shoes dirty or holding a pose to get the best photo is what it's all about.

Brightwood Photography is Greg Balkin, Tim Kressin, and Davis Goslin.

Our primary location is Los Angeles and Orange County, but we have a strong travel bug. We've lived in New Zealand and walked across national parks, so there's no job too far or out of the ordinary for us.

A photographer to me (the bride) was one of the most important elements when planning our wedding. I knew right away from viewing a few of their photographs online that Brightwood Photography was exactly what I was looking for-natural light, candid’s, and a creative artistic eye. Being a destination wedding in S. California we couldn't physically meet, however Greg was flexible with meeting us via skype, corresponding promptly via email, and phone calls when need be. Greg has this insane calm and personable presence about him that would put any person especially bride and groom at ease! Greg instantly felt like a friend to us. We let Brightwood Photography take the reins for the photographs and creative direction and we were NOT disappointed. We have the most beautiful photos to look back on from our special day! We are so glad and grateful to have Brightwood Photography capture our wedding story. You guys are AWESOME!

My husband and I found Brightwood Photography through mutual friends and couldn't have been more pleased with how our wedding photos turned out. Greg and his team were professional, a pleasure to work with, and exceeded our expectations with the unique, high-quality shots they were able to capture.

Thank you Greg and Brightwood Photography!

My husband and I were very pleased with Brightwood Photography's service! They took the time to get to know us and the style of wedding we were planning, which allowed them to capture each moment with our personalities in mind. They tailored their service to capture our day in a professional and unique way. I was very pleased with their timely nature and the quality of equipment used. They were also very quick to deliver the photos to us via the internet which allowed us to share easily with those individuals from out of state. I would without a doubt recommend Brightwood Photography because they strive to deliver a high quality service and product at a very reasonable price! You want a photographer that cost a arm, but it was nice to keep my leg.
