We won a $350 credit in a sweepstakes and used it towards the $400 engagement session, and I absolutely love the results! Brandon was prompt and helpful in his communication and excellent at helping me and my photo shy fiancé feel comfortable in front of the camera. And to top it all off he got our full digital portfolio back to us within a week!

Brandon is an incredible guy!! From the first day we met him we knew he was the one! He is so profesional and was very welcoming when we met the first time at his office. He was so on it that he actually had some sample pictures of a shoot he had done months before at the venue we are getting married at. (It was very important for us to hire a photographer who had shot in that venue since it is indoor and lighting is different than outdoor venues). After talking to him, my fiancé and I left and as soon as we got in our car we were like “Yeah, we’re hiring him”.
Not only does he respond every question you have, but he does it quickly! Every email was responded within one day.
So today we got our engagement pictures back , and both Jason and I were so thrilled with how they turned out! I mean, they seriously turned out AWESOME! He has quite the eye for finding spots, good angles, perfect lighting and directs you and makes you feel at ease. We were nervous since neither one of us has ever been professionally photographed, and he made it so easy for us. He is warm, funny, and really cares about you as a couple.
If you are looking for someone who is BRILLIANT and is super sweet, patient, knowledgeable, and just a down to earth guy... please do yourself a favor and pick Brandon.
I can’t wait to see how out wedding pictures tuen out, but after seeing our engagement pictures I am 100% sure I will LOVE them. ❤️
Our shoot was at Cannon Beach and Ecola Park.
Brandon, thank you so so much!! 👏🏻🌷🎊🎉❤️☺️ can’t wait to make our save the dates with these pictures and send them to our friends and family!!! 😀😀😀😀

Brandon was wonderful to work with! We were originally a 2020 wedding, and when we made the decision to push to 2021, Brandon was very accommodating. Also, he was fantastic on our wedding day--easy to work with, professional, and a delight to have around. The turnaround time was faster than I expected, which was a nice surprise! Most importantly, we absolutely LOVE our photos. I cannot recommend Brandon enough!!

Brandon was fantastic to work with - very patient, knowledgeable, and professional. Our photos are great, he captured the important moments, the little details, and even the photos of people dancing turned out well. We so appreciate his eye for a good, interesting shot. Our photos were ready in less than three weeks, and we got a ton of them. Definitely recommend Brandon!

My husband and I are fairly awkward in front of the camera and were kind of dreading the photos portion of the wedding experience (my husband especially). But Brandon got us to relax and be ourselves with in the first 5 minutes of our engagement shoot. We were joking and it felt like we were just walking through the park with a friend. For our wedding, I knew that the venue we chose didn't have great photo spots due to recent construction. I expressed my concern with Brandon a head of time and he came early on our wedding day to see what he could find. He found WAY more then I thought he would! He truly has an artists eye and went above and beyond. He really listens to your concerns and "must have shots" to make sure he gets them. Also get the photobooth! Holy cow, that thing was a hit!!! The kids and adults loved it and you get all the pictures after so you can see everyone enjoying themselves.

Brandon at Fotovitae was fantastic! We purchased the package that included our engagement photos and wedding day and we have SO MANY beautiful pictures. He was punctual and got back to us quickly via email. His prices are good (honestly I would have paid more, our photos are gorgeous). He was really good at rounding up and getting the after ceremony pictures of our families and bridal party (he even learned peoples names!).
I’m not sure how he captured as much as he did!!
My husband and I plan to go to him again in the future. Best photographer I’ve ever worked with!!

Brandon is amazing to work with! He's extremely professional and his work is absolutely beautiful We wanted the experience to be natural and Brandon's photo-journalistic style is perfect - he truly captured the essence and feeling of the event

Brandon photographed both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Working with Brandon was always incredibly easy. He was always easy to communicate with; proactive in communication and then quick to respond if I had any questions. Both my husband and I appreciated the gentle instructions he'd give when being photographed (getting our picture taken definitely wasn't natural for us, but he made it look like it was.)

On our wedding day it rained up until our ceremony time. Brandon was always patient and instructive with everyone involved so that we could get the best pictures possible. At times he braved the rain with us, at others he was patient and waited with us for the rain to pass. Always, Brandon was checking in to ensure that we were comfortable with how things we going.

Most importantly, I have so many beautiful images from both our engagement session and our wedding. He truly captured the beauty, excitement, and fun that we and our guests had. One of the best decisions we made was to work with Brandon on our wedding day.

We worked with FotoVitae for our engagement and wedding photos. Brandon and his partner were super easy to work with. They understood what we wanted and helped keep us on schedule during a whirlwind of a day. The photo booth was user friendly, and those pictures are some of our favorites. Brandon went above and beyond to capture all the moments we cared about, even the stuff we didn't think to ask for, but would have been really sad to not have. Brandon was very flexible and let us add an additional hour at the last minute.

We had an awesome experience with Brandon! Before our wedding my husband was not too excited about spending a lot of money on a photographer but after looking at the photos we both agree that it was 110% worth it! Brandon got many awesome shots of the day and we definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Brandon with FotoVitae did the photos for our wedding on a snowy day in February 2019. He did an amazing job and we were so so so happy with his results. He was affordable, reliable, efficient, clear in his directions, kind, funny, and very talented. He went above and beyond what we had asked for or expected from him. He worked well with our wedding coordinator, and all of the other vendors. We also loved having the fotobooth which was a big hit, so much fun, and much less expensive than any other fotobooth services we looked at. We had some weather issues and Brandon drove our wedding coordinator to the wedding through the snow and ice. He stayed longer than what he committed to and was so generous about it. He gave my cousin who is an aspiring photographer, some great tips and was very kind and helpful towards her. Now to the part about our photos. They were beautiful. He did a thorough job capturing all of the important moments and more. We loved looking through them and finding beautiful interactions between people captured by his camera. People meeting at our wedding and enjoying conversations, laughs, food, and dancing. I could not recommend him more. We were so thrilled with his professionalism, his hard work, and his beautiful pictures. I hope to have another reason to hire him again. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Brandon!
Eternally grateful,
A&W

It was a pleasure working with FotoVitae! Communication was clear and timely. I felt that Brandon really understood what was important to me for the wedding photos and that helped me completely relax on the wedding day. The photos are beautiful and capture the joy and fun of the day. My family is playful and animated and that is truly reflected in the photos. I highly recommend FotoVitae for your celebrations!

We absolutely LOVED working with Brandon! Even just from our first initial meeting, we knew Brandon really cared about us as a couple and our vision! He was on top of the check-in's before the wedding and was super responsive to all our questions and needs throughout the whole process! It rained on our wedding and there were a lot of moving pieces on the-day-of. However, Brandon was super prepared and was able capture our special day flawlessly, even with all the unknowns during the event day! He came to check on both the Bride and Groom Quarters (going back and forth in the rain no less!) and was very clear in his communications. He kept us on track with our timeline and was super flexible with all the changes. He made sure we switched things around as necessary to capture the best light/angles for all our pictures! Brandon was not only professional, took amazing pictures, he was also friendly, approachable and passionate about what he does! The pictures came out just incredible and we are very happy with both the colors and black&white copies. Definitely recommend for future newlywed!

We absolutely could not be happier with our wedding and engagement photos. Brandon really listened to us and gave us exactly what we wanted. The prep and ceremony photos are beautiful, and while formal photos weren't important to us (we gave him about 15 minutes to take those so we could get back to our guests) they turned out beautifully too.
What we really wanted him to capture was the joy of our friends and family celebrating and that is exactly what he did. I am absolutely in love with the photos from our reception. I will be gifting so many people beautiful, funny, joyful shots of themselves celebrating with us this year.
