Bryan Hudson Photography

Bryan and his second shooter were amazing! Showed up on time and were ready to shoot right away! Bryan made us feel comfortable and was able to adapt to our ever changing timeline. He also sent us some preview photos 3 days after the wedding which was amazing! Thanks Bryan!

Bryan is an absolute artist at photography! He did my husband and I’s engagement and wedding photos. Not only does he make it fun, but he’s professional, artistic and on top of his game. We ended up with some really fun, unique photos that truly captured our special day. He’s also very flexible, kind and understanding. We couldn’t be happier with Bryan’s work. Highly recommend!

We are NOT photogenic by any means. And yet, somehow, Bryan continues to work his magic! We could have never imagined us taking such grand, epic, and beautiful photos! Bryan himself is fun, chill, calming, and humble which is rare to find with someone with decades of photography experience.

One thing I was worried about as a bride was my stress on the wedding day; Bryan's vibes and personality was one of the main reasons we hired him. He kept me and everyone else around really calm and the day went on seamlessly even though we had last minute changes due to the unexpected storms in LA. His flexibility and experience in wedding photography really shows as he staged one of our best photos in the rain at the end of the night. He really knows how to scope venues and capture the moments that naturally come.

We absolutely enjoyed every second of his photography sessions for both our engagement and wedding! We highly recommend Bryan if you're looking for some epic posed and candid photos. Yes, he will absolutely help you pose and do it in a way that's helpful but also fun! 20/10 stars!

Brian is an amazing photographer. He is very professional and wants to make your big day FUN. What made Brian stand out was his energy and attention to detail. When taking photos, Brian wants to capture great moments and suggests poses and landscapes where photos will shine. One thing I will never forget is when Brian was telling the groomsman to get closer, all he said was we have to nut to butt! No further instructions were needed by the groomsmen. Overall fantastic experience and very professional and friendly photographer! Will definitely recommend!!

You know when a photographer did such an amazing job that you can't stop raving about them and showing everyone you meet your photos? That's Bryan!!

My wedding was Sunday 10/30/22, and we were so lucky that Bryan (plus his excellent associate, Gustavo), were available on a short month's notice. Even before our first meeting, I admired how his portfolio was chock full of beautiful artsy fartsy (not the technical term, lol) photos with creative angles, poses, and lighting that were actually different from all the typical wedding photos, though those standard pictures were there as well.

Bryan's passion for photography, dedication to details, and technical expertise was all immediately evident to me within the first few minutes of our video consult. He was understanding and engaging, actively listened to our numerous requests, and confidently provided keen suggestions based on his past experience.

For example, I told Bryan that although my venue was a ballroom, I wanted my wedding party photos to be in an outdoor garden setting. Right then and there, Bryan suggested a park a few minutes from our venue, which ended up being absolutely perfect.

Later on, when I mentioned that we needed to do table visits and a tea ceremony for our Westernized Chinese wedding/reception, Bryan once again provided insightful tips that when incorporated into our timeline, became integral in ensuring that each event ran smoothly.

That was the theme of working with Bryan - his guidance and presence elevated our wedding day experience to everything that we hoped for and more.

From the moment he arrived at our hotel (30 minutes early in fact!) to the end of a super long day, Bryan made our wedding day just so much better. His positive energy, encouraging words, and fun personality set the tone for everyone in our large 12 person wedding party - conscious of the time constraints but still focused on having a great time.

Like another reviewer mentioned, working with Bryan was like reconnecting and hanging out with a long-lost best friend who happens to be a pro - he is just that great at keeping everyone at ease, especially during stressful moments. He and Gustavo were so patient with the endless photo requests from our wedding guests and managing the indoor lighting situation at the venue, all the while still managing to be at the right spots at the right times to catch amusing candids. I swear they were magicians or genies or something!

A mere four days after the wedding, Bryan provided us with our sneak preview album. Holy smokes, these photos are gorgeous!! When we shared the pics with friends and family, some of whom are professional photographers themselves, all were blown away and impressed with how he captured our emotions on camera. Just see for yourself!!

TL;DR: Not only is Bryan incredibly talented as a photographer, he is extremely helpful in all aspects of the wedding and so much fun as a person. His associate Gustavo was awesome as well, and I highly recommend them both.

Choosing Bryan Hudson Photography was one of the best wedding decisions that we made; if you book with Bryan, I guarantee that you'd say the same!

Bryan is a true professional that is organized, fun, and very easy to work with. I do not normally like taking photos of myself, especially from a photographer but Bryan made me feel very very comfortable taking photos. Our wedding landed on a historic heat wave in southern California and Bryan was so organized that we were able to take all our photos comfortably despite the heat.

His photography is striking yet intimate. He captured us and our wedding beautifully.
He captures the people and the moment as they are. Beautiful photos, excited to get large prints of his photos of us!!
So if you're looking for a photographer, look no further!

Bryan was a great photographer! I really enjoyed our time with him and loved the photographs he took of our wedding :) I'm really happy we had him as our photographer and highly recommend him!

Bryan was hands down the best photographer we've ever worked with!

How do I begin to review one of the most kick ass photographers that there ever was?

When we first met Bryan, it was as if we were talking to a long-lost friend. He was friendly, engaging & most of all extremely knowledgeable in his field. We took our engagement photos in Sep 2021, and they came out amazing. Bryan knew the area so well that he had an awesome hidden spot where we took the most amazing sunset photos we’ve ever had taken with our pup.

When the wedding day rolled around, we had a blast shooting all our photos. There was a great number of Jokes told, lots of laughter and Bryan captured every moment. I swear he was a ninja with his camera!

Everything ran smoothly even when the family threw a few curb balls his way. I would hire Bryan to do any other photos we ever take! He was able to capture the feelings I felt for our wedding. The love we felt in person can be felt in each photo and to capture that, it takes someone special… If you’re looking for a photographer look no further, Bryan is your man!

I booked Bryan for our engagement photos and wedding and could not have been more pleased with his work. Me and my husband are not “naturals” in front of the camera and he guided us so well and was super easy to work with. He truly cares about his craft, he took extra time and patience to get all “the shots” and wow were they stunning. His style is also kind of edgy and moody which I love, but he also knows how to mix in romantic shots that are light and airy. You really do get it all! Also on our wedding day my family was A LOT and he handled in amazingly and professionally. He’s super chill, creative, and there was not one thing we didn’t like about him. So grateful for him capturing all the most beautiful moments of our wedding, literally cried looking at the photos he took. I did major due diligence and talked to several photographers and looked at several portfolio, he was by far our favorite. Just book him, you won’t regret it!

Bryan was perfect for us from start to finish.
His demeanor and his attitude really shone through and his style fitted perfectly with what we wanted.
He was happy to work with us for any specific shots that we wanted and the whole experience was extremely relaxed while still maintaining the professionalism and expertise that you would expect.
Bryan had an amazing way of being able to capture every moment without you ever feeling like you were on show or being photographed. Not at any point did we feel like we were under pressure to get the shots he wanted to best show off our special day.
It felt like we had known Bryan for years and it made working with him extremely easy. Having only a small guest count should have made Bryan more noticeable however he blended in amazingly.
Would highly recommend for anyone in need for their big day.
Thank you Bryan once again.

We were lucky enough to work with Bryan twice as he shot both our engagement session (2021) and wedding (2022). His work is absolutely stunning and he knows just how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Our engagement shoot was at the Pasadena City Hall building, but didn't look like every other set of photos that are taken there. He has such an eye for detail and delivered some of our favorite photos together. He made both my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout and gave the perfect combination of prompting us for specific poses/etc. but allowing us to be natural and catching true moments of our relationship. I think what really sets himself apart is he doesn't take any of it (including himself) too seriously, and just wants to enjoy the day with you.

His relaxed nature was EXACTLY what we were looking for the day of our wedding - after all, you are paying this person to follow you around for 8-10 hours. Bryan's calming energy helped keep us on track every step of the wedding - even when I completely failed him by not bringing a family shot list. He went above and beyond at every turn and delivered another STUNNING gallery of photos.

On top of all this, his turn around time is extremely quick (sneak peeks almost immediately and full galleries well before a month after the event). He listens to what you are looking for and can deliver anything from the standard posed shot to the craziest use of lighting to get that unique, edgy feel. If you are looking for someone to give you some really rad photos he's your guy.

Can't wait to keep using him in the future for family shoots, etc. to keep getting amazing photos of our lives. Thank you, Bryan!!

Bryan was amazing ! He instantly saw the vision and theme for my wedding and made it so comfortable to work with him. He's responsive, on time and has the best suggestions to get the most perfect pictures of any special moment. Not to mention, His style is straight out of a bridal magazine. Beyond happy with his work. Thank you for being so amazing Bryan ! ... the hogans
