Amazing!

I truly cannot recommend Brightworks enough - it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! The entire experience with Brightworks was incredibly thoughtful and personal. Steve, Rebecca and Gabe took such thought, care and time in getting to know us - first over Zoom and then at our engagement shoot - and it was so clearly reflected in our photos. They perfectly planned and executed out engagement shoot, having scouted several locations and taking into account timing and lighting, and the results were incredible! Steve and Rebecca were so helpful in providing posing tips and immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera - this allowed us to get the best possible photos while still feeling relaxed and like ourselves! This also meant that once we got to the wedding day, we were totally comfortable in front of their camera(s). Brightworks put a huge amount of thought and effort into structuring a timeline for the wedding day, which not only made the day run so smoothly but also allowed us to capture all of the moments we wanted. They solicited our thoughts and input, adjusting their plans accordingly, and seamlessly divided photography tasks between them not capture every angle of the day from the posed to the candid! Brightworks was able to capture so many moments not only between me and my husband but also for each one of our guests and loved ones, which was so incredibly special. Not only this, but they were so kind, receptive, responsive, and wonderful to work with through the entire process! We are thrilled with the results, and are absolutely in AWE of their work - do yourself a favor and book them ASAP!!

Fairytale elopement

Steve and Rebecca made our Acadia NP elopement something very special! While working with them, my husband and I had nothing but the utmost confidence in them. They are thorough, professional, friendly, personable, and creative. They captured every aspect of our elopement, every smile, every laugh, every emotion throughout the day. When looking back at our photos, it's like we are able to step right back into the moment and relive it!

Warm, friendly, sharp-eyed photographers

Amy and I planned our own wedding and picking BrightWorks was both easy and rewarding.
Stephen, Rebecca and Gabe are such talented, warm professionals. It was really a pleasure to chat with Stephen and Rebecca through the planning process and on the big day they were unobtrusive but somehow managed to capture incredible, intimate moments.
The team clearly has a deep knowledge of wedding photography and came prepared with suggestions for how the day should go - from candids to special planned moments. But they were also open to our input and altered their plans to suit our requests.
We are absolutely thrilled with the pictures we got from BrightWorks. There's some of my notoriously photo-shy family members that I'll cherish nearly as much as the photos of my wife and I together.
I can't recommend highly enough the photographers of BrightWorks. You'll get a wonderful catalog of your event from amiable, talented and kind photographers.
