About

Hey!

I'm Brogen Jessup. I'm a San Diego based traveling wedding photographer. I go the distance to capture your union no matter where the location. I have 9 years of experience in wedding photography and 5 in destination weddings. My degree is in fine art and art direction.

My approach to photgraphy is balance, I know when to be a fly on the wall and capture candid moments, and when to be assertive and give you direction.

It's important for me that you enjoy your wedding day and that every aspect isn't revolved around photo & video. I work in a very fast & non disruptive way so that you can foucs on livin' it up with your boo. Connection is key, my ideal client is someone like minded and looking for a wedding bestie rather than a checked off vendor.

My goal is to provide my clients with ease of mind knowing they are moving forward in their lives while having photos they can reflect back on. Your gallery will capture the essence of day with a little flare of art direction in a non-cheesy way. Like seriously... no cheese. Lets hang out, capture some cool shit and make sure you get back to your friends & family so that you can party.

On my days off you can catch me at a local bar sippin' craft cocktials and rockin' a hat. If i'm not there, you might see my husband David and I riding our Harley. We have a 3 year old boxer and love spending time outdoors.

Cheers,

B

Best decision ever!!

Where do I even begin?? I fell in love with Brogen’s style and photos on Instagram in 2019 and immediately booked her for our engagement shoot. Unfortunately due to covid we had to reschedule our wedding twice but Brogen was flexible and so accommodating! We finally got married on 4/8/22 in Cabo and we could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. Brogen is so down to earth, fun, an expert at her craft, so professional and was our biggest hype girl! Even my husband (who hates pictures) enjoyed the whole process and loved working with her! But the best part is not only was Brogen our photographer, she led and absolutely crushed the styling process for the entire wedding as well! I tend to be very conservative with my personal style and she delivered the perfect blend of trendiness, creativity and class that was perfect for us. Her design paired with her photography skill is unmatched and I can hands down say she was the best investment we could have made for our wedding. I am obsessed with our sneak peaks and cannot emphasize enough how perfectly she captured our entire weekend.

The BEST decision ever

I worked with Brogen for over two years due to COVID for both styling and photography. Brogen was the most involved vendor I had, ensuring that the vision from my shoes down the the color of silverware was all cohesive. She played a huge role in making my dreams come to life. As a photographer not only does she make you feel comfortable and gorgeous, she also makes the setting of your wedding come to life. I have gotten nonstop compliments on the color and tones and aesthetic of her gorgeous photos. Brogen made sure to do research on different places to take photos at to make sure we didn’t end up with stereotypical photos. Honestly all that aside, shes also just the coolest and most thoughtful person- which is the kind of person you want on your wedding team. I cannot recommend her enough.

Best Decision = Brogen Jessup

Hiring Brogen Jessup as my wedding stylist and wedding photographer was THE BEST decision I made for my wedding (other than marrying my husband). From the start, she took the time to get to know me and what my vision was for my big day. She asked me to share my Pinterest boards so she could get a feel for me; she created boards that she shared with me and we would discuss what I was drawn to and what I wasn't. She spent the time with me to understand what I wanted for my big day. She was such a good listener that even if I said yes to things but she could sense even the slightest hesitation she would pause there and say “I don't think you're 100% and I want you to be 100%. We can go back to the drawing board.”


I told her I don't want a traditional, classic wedding. I want something different, edgy, boho. I warned her that if you left me to it, I might auto-pilot into basic or out of fear not take the road less traveled. She never lost sight of the goal. There were times when she would remind me of what I wanted and redirect my sails. I’m grateful she did.


When she was taking my picture she made me feel like THE TOP MODEL IN THE WORLD, her enthusiasm after every shot was contagious! And the pictures turned out wonderful, they will forever remind me of the magic of that day. She is a rare combination of inspired artist with her eye for beauty and efficiency expert with making sure everything got done and fit together. My destination Antigua Guatemala wedding was scheduled for the very middle of the COVID pandemic. Like many couples we had to reschedule, Brogen went above and beyond to help. Take the stress of organizing a wedding, add a pandemic, traveling to Latin America, rescheduling all of the vendors, and making the day itself happen, I can honestly say it wouldn’t not have happened with her help, advice, enthusiasm, and knowhow. I strongly recommend hiring her, she was wonderful.

Hands down - best ever

one word..AMAZING!! Brogen did our engagement and wedding photography. She is a world class professional and I can't thank her enough for capturing our special memories. Everything from planning sessions, contract execution, to a timely delivery of our prints was perfect.

10/10 recommend!!

Brogen was amazing and nearly worked with us for two years!!! Yep , due to Covid we had multiple changes and dates from the time we got engaged to the time we actually got married and she stuck by us through ALL OF IT!! No complaints, no changes on her end just ride or die . And trust me , there were a lot of changes. Here’s the thing, just like anything in life , you get what you pay for so if you want a business professional who is a legit master in style , vibe, photographer, aesthetic etc. I’d highly suggest Brogen , she has also shot nearly every single one of my friends whose gotten married and we’ve all had nothing but positive experiences with her!!

She's the BEST!

First of all, let me just assure you that if you are reading this because you are debating whether or not to hire Brogen for your wedding or event….I can promise you that you will not regret working with her! I work in the film business and the photo/video world myself, so I knew that having a photographer who not only had a great eye for composition and editing, but also was easy to work with was #1 on my wedding list. When I stumbled on Brogen’s website, I was instantly in love with her shooting aesthetic and her “about me” section. She was the whole package. She was quick to contact me back and made the booking process easy and was organized. I love that we had a facetime chat before we booked, so we could make sure that we vibed and were on the same page!
We met for the first time during our engagement shoot. She put my husband (who is very camera shy) at ease with clear and fun guidance on posing and styling tips. Let me just say...that we came at her with a lot of ideas (using fire in our shoot, using LED props, etc) and Brogen was game for anything! We had a blast and ended up with the most perfect engagement photos - everyone who sees them says we look like we belong on an album cover, they are that special. :)
On our wedding day - I felt so at ease knowing that she was there. She helped blow though those family photos and noticed every single detail like...making sure dad didn’t have things in his pocket that would look awkward in pics, or making sure mom removed her glasses from her dress. I can tell how much she cares about her work. Our ceremony and reception were both outdoors, and our goal was to create a “festival vibe” . Brogen captured every laugh, every tear, every hug and every dance move with such grace and stealth….she was a part of our big day without the intrusion of many photographers I have seen at weddings who “stop everything” to get their shot. Brogen’s editorial, artistic, and whimsical style were exactly what we needed, and I honestly cannot imagine working with anyone else. I will definitely be using her again and again!

Unbelievable photographer!

Brogen is like a wedding photography genius! She does whatever it takes to get the best shot. She's transparent, easy going, but very professional and focused. I absolutely loved working with her and I think my mom might start her official fan club. She was very understanding of my fiance (now husband) who absolutely despises getting his picture taken. She worked with us, letting us be natural, instead of trying to turn us into a specific type of bride and groom. She worked with us to create a specific filter so all of our photos feel genuinely unique for us. Through the process I felt like she became a friend, not just a vendor, and even popped up at some of the wedding weekend festivities to take pictures! She worked beautifully with all of the other vendors and is just such an exciting, pleasant person to have be part of the wedding day. She helped with my touch ups, made me feel beautiful, and made the wedding party comfortable. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Brogen. If you have the chance, I very strongly recommend hiring her--she's amazing and you won't be disappointed!

Brogen is amazing

Brogen was incredible- we are so happy with the photos that she took to capture the best day of our lives. I’m so happy that we found her. If I had it all to do over again, I’d only book her sooner!

She was on point with our schedule, kept the day rolling, and took photos that we will cherish forever. It’s incredible how many details you might not think about on your day that Brogen was really on top of (she made sure we had water bottles off of the tables, and she kept my lipstick handy- dream!).

I completely recommend Brogen. We are thrilled with her work and so happy with our wedding photos. Especially if you are considering a destination wedding, get her on your team!

Hire Immediately!

You have to book Brogen! She's the raddest person we hired for our wedding and you will not be disappointed! Few insights into her approach- she sets up a phone call to get to know you and your future hubs, answers all questions, helps set up engagement pics and then is perfectly punctual for your big day! Check out her website and insta for the breadth of her talent- we were more than ecstatic to have her eye on us on our big day. Some other great things- is she so good at styling, trust her and although you may want a few specific shots, just let her do her thing because she comes up with pure magic. Day of- I even rode with her to my wedding because we needed just a few more shots - so believe me she's there for YOU on your big day. Her second shooter was awesome as well - my hubs and his groomsmen were totally not thrilled for pics but they felt super comfortable in the end and the shots were fire. After the wedding, Brogen had our sneak peek shots out to us THAT night! Then she had our other pics to us within 4 months - there was sooo many which is nice because you can pic the ones you think your arm hair looks good if you get picky lol. Also you can download from a website- talk about genius! Then after that we've even worked with her to build our custom album which - wow it is the best keepsake ever. I can't say enough and I know I'm rambling but please hire Brogen you can't go wrong. If you want super basic photos, maybe don't go with her, but if you want the photos that everyone will talk about and you will adore and you want a team player and friend throughout the process- Brogen is your photographer!
