About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Hey there! My name is Robert Palmer and I am so happy that you are taking the time to check out my photography profile. I started Brooktree Studios in order to provide the absolute best experience for couples during their wedding journey!

When it comes to wedding photography most people think of awkward poses, or uncomfortable smiles. That is not what I am all about! My goal is to make you laugh and have fun in front of the camera by telling terrible jokes and acting like your best friend on your wedding day, that way your laughs are real and your photos will be genuine!

I also support all of my couples before the wedding day. We talk about timelines, outfits for your engagement session, recommended vendors, and more! Having been a part of so many weddings I can help take some of that stress off of your shoulders. I am always available to chat, so you will never have to wait for an email back from me, communication is key!

When the wedding day is over and you’re finally married and relaxing I want to be there for you as well. You’ll get a sneak peek of your wedding gallery just 24 hours after your day, so that you can immediately share and show off your amazing dress or suit with photos that weren’t taken by a cell phone! I edit and return all of my wedding galleries in just 4 weeks, so you won’t have to wait until your anniversary to actually see your album!

There is so much more that I would love to talk with you about, so leave me a message, I promise that I will get back to you right away!

Brooktree Studios believes that love is love. We are LBGTQ+ friendly and welcome couples of all ethnicities, backgrounds, religions, or sexual orientation to reach out!

    Hands-down the best

    Brooktree Studios was hands down the best to capture our special day. Oliver and Daniel made an awesome team and listened to what we wanted. They were constantly on the move to make sure they got the shots they knew we would love. We had our sneak peek early the next morning and the rest of our photos shortly followed. At the end of the day, all you have are the memories and the pictures and Brooktree made sure we had both. I will recommend them to everyone!

    They just knew our vision

    loved working with Brooktree and highly recommend them to anyone . I loved how easy it was to communicate with them on the online portal. They were always quick to respond. The online payment plan was genius and really helped with the stress of paying for the wedding. They were willing to get creative with us on our theater themed engagement shoot. Daniel is an amazing photographer. Our wedding photos came out perfect. I love that he captured some amazing candid moments. My husband and I look amazing in every photo. There isn't a single photo that I didn't like how I looked in it. Daniel made it less awkward in the moment while posing. I loved that they worked with us to do the photo run. Daniel truly understood our vision for the wedding and had fun with it

    We loved working with Robert!

    Robert did such a fabulous job! From planning the timeline to capturing our big day he was so professional with his work yet personable with communication. We loved how he was always ready with great photo ideas but always left it up to us to decide what we wanted. He answered all of our questions in detail and made the planning process so smooth. He was excellent to work with and we were so happy we chose him for both our engagement session and wedding day!

    Our new bff

    I'm from a small, close-knit town and was met with a little skepticism from family and friends when they heard I didn't hire one of the three regular photographers that do weddings in our area. Robert quickly made us so sure that we made the best choice for us! Everybody only had great things to say after our wedding day!! Robert really fit in with our huge wedding party and made us feel so comfortable! our photos turned out more amazing than I could have ever imagined. My husband and I really can't say enough great things!

    Perfectly Captured

    I can't say enough great things about how our wedding photos turned out. From getting ready to send off, Ollie perfectly captured the day exactly how I want to remember it. From the look in my husband's eyes as I walked down the aisle to every personality of our loved ones on the dance floor, he got it all. We get so many compliments on our photos. Brooktree Studios is hands down the photographer you want for your wedding.

    The perfect Photographer for our Wedding

    Rob was an awesome photographer to work with! From our engagement photos which were absolutely perfect to put on our save the dates to the captivating photos of our wedding. He knew exactly what he was doing. He also made sure we knew exactly what we were doing with the perfect amount of coaching to all people involved to make the photos look better than we could have ever hoped. As someone who chronically worries about so many aspects, he made me really feel taken care of. The organization of all the photos and different groupings were something I thought would be stressful but was truly painless with his help and guidance. We got all of our photos from our wedding back and we were stunned. They were all so amazing. His chipper personality and overall funness really showed through. Our wonderful Videographer, Amy Rankin worked really well together with him. I highly recommend the two of them together. They had an awesome working relationship and really helped us to feel like stars on our big day.

    His work ethic was outstanding. While dinner was being served and he was eating, he was editing photos from the ceremony and first dance so they could be displayed on his macbook which was left on one of the gift tables for the remainder of the reception. Great touch! Our sneak peak was ready by the following Monday, literally like 2 days from our wedding, to drop on social media. Look no further, this is the guy.

    10/10 Recommend

    Robert is a dream photographer to work with! He helped our day flow so easily and had great ideas for different types of photos. He was so kind and easy to get along with and helped Phil and I feel relaxed and be ourselves throughout the entire day. We would recommend him to our friends and family a million times over. We're thrilled with our photo sneak peak of our wedding day and can't wait to see the rest!

    The absolute best!

    We cannot say enough about how amazing Brooktree was on our wedding day! Pre-wedding coordinating with Robert was painless and every request we asked of him and his team was met with enthusiasm and joy! Daniel & Josh were absolutely perfect at capturing our special day and we couldn't have asked for a better team. We have received so many compliments on their professionalism, energy, coordination, and their willingness to go over and beyond anything we asked of them. We already know the photos are going to be amazing with how excited Daniel was shooting them and him showing us the photos throughout making sure we were happy with everything. Look no further for your perfect wedding day photographers! We can't recommend them highly enough!

    Fun, Professional, and Lively!

    I rarely write reviews, but Oliver and Daniel from Brooktree Studios are absolutely fantastic!! They genuinely made the day so fun! We met several times before the wedding to make sure my husband and I felt comfortable with the plan for the day which I really appreciated. Neither myself nor my husband are very comfortable posing in front of the camera so we were initially a little nervous, but Oliver and Daniel's light-hearted energy really made us relax and have fun with it. They did a fantastic job of directing us while still encouraging us to be ourselves. We had such a fun time spending the day with them that we were genuinely sad to see them leave at the end of the night!

    Oliver was quick to send us our sneak peak pictures the morning after the wedding, and the photos looked amazing! Oliver also sent us a few pictures to get our opinion on the way the photos were edited and I really appreciated that he engaged us in the process. Although we weren't expecting to receive our completed gallery until the end of the month, our gallery was completed and released to us 2 weeks after the wedding. Overall, Oliver and Daniel from Brooktree Studios were energetic, professional, and brought so much joy to our day. We cannot thank them enough for capturing so many wonderful moments!!

    Excellent photos, excellent experience!

    Robert was great! My husband and I were not used to taking photos, and he put us at ease during our engagement session. What could have been awkward was fun! Our photo turnaround from our wedding was so quick; and the photos were absolutely stunning!

    Quality, Accommodating, Professional, Recommended

    As a self-proclaimed “picky” bride, picking a wedding photographer was a daunting task. I did not want to go with a company where I did not know who was going to be photographing my wedding day. I was in the search for a photographer that offered quality, value, and flexibility. After researching for several weeks, I was recommended Robert and Brooktree Studios. Robert accommodated every need and request during the entire experience. His flexibility was so appreciated with our wedding date changing more than once, planning our engagement session with a delay in rings, and also with the effects of “Covid” further shaking up our original plans. He was continuously available for any and all concerns and questions leading up to and after the wedding. While he was photographing, he gave great and timely advice, used natural lighting to create timeless photos we can step into for years to come, and caught natural expressions of emotions that completely set our wedding photos apart. Every time I look at our wedding photos, I get so happy and excited; it’s like reliving the first time seeing them! I cannot recommend him and his work enough! If I had to do it all over, I would not change a thing and definitely have Robert be our photographer a hundred times over again

    Five Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    LISTEN UP BRIDES!! You need to hire Brooktree Studios as your wedding photographer! Robert and Daniel did such a great job at my wedding. I even had multiple guests comment on how awesome they were. I really liked them because

    (#1) They were really fun guys to have around.
    (#2) They were really good at thinking on their feet and they jump in to help where needed.
    (#3) I really liked how my wedding photos turned out. You can’t re-do a wedding photo session. So I really put in a lot of time looking at portfolios from photographers and Brooketree was at the top of my vendor wishlist. I’ll save you some time brides...ask if they are available on your date!!
    (#4) They stuck to the wedding schedule and showed up on time.

    10 out of 10 I would hire again!!
    Thank you Brooktree for doing such a great job.

    Oliver is excellent!

    Oliver did beyond an incredible job with our engagement photos. He is very patient, understanding, and communitive. He wants you to have exactly what you want, and the way you picture things. He isn’t only just a photographer, but he keeps in touch and makes you feel comfortable 110%. I couldn’t ask for a better photographer for our wedding day. We now see Oliver as a friend, and a big part of a day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Best in town, great prices, and definitely recommended!

    Brooktree Studios's reply:

    You guys are amazing! I absolutely cannot wait until your wedding day next year! It's going to be a day to remember!
