Master photographer with exceptional professionalism.

Why I chose Looyenga Photography to capture my wedding came down to 2 things. Photographer eye and commitment.

My wife and I are introverted homebodies who love to take our dogs out into the wilderness to play, we don't consider ourselves photogenic but we wanted to make sure to have our wedding day captured by a professional who captured the best version of ourselves.

Style: Photography is a craft and Brent's framing and natural style in photos really stood out from competition. Meaning his pictures didn't look over edited, over saturated, or washed out (white out). There was good bokeh and nothing was blown out. Subjects were well in focus and complimented by the surroundings.

Cost: Weddings bring focus to where money is being spent to a microscope level. Looyenga Photography was not the cheapest option but also not the most expensive option. Cost options were very upfront and honest and several tiered packages to work within our budget to include what we were looking for. Photo's were very important to us and the end result from Brent were amazing. The cost was well worth it.

Value: Looyenga Photography has great value. They offered two things no one else did, commitment and a promise. As it was our wedding day other photographers put either a picture limit or time limit on their services. Brent didn't guarantee how many photo's he would provide as in photography you sometimes take 100 photos to get 1 great shot. He also promised to be there for our day and capture from start to finish, which means we didn't have to worry about anything being missed or be stressed/rushed about a cut off. That made the cost a value
He also included engagement photos which which were incredible and really let us get to know each other.

Professionalism: Brent is a master at his craft and was exceptional communication. He really likes the magic hours of the day where the sun light gives a natural glow and can soften the natural light giving a great setting. He has great ideas on the spot of how he wants things captures but doesn't force you into anything without running it by you first. He also asked if there were any poses or special photos you want. He is very thorough and captured every photo we wanted.

All our wedding guests had compliments about Brent and how nice he was and thought he did an exceptional job the day of the wedding and that's without seeing any of the photos, just based off his interactions and getting people together to capture guests.

We will be having prints of our wedding photos made to hang on our walls and for two individuals who don't think their photogenic that speaks to how great Brent is and we highly recommend Looyenga Photography. A true 5 star experience with 5 star result.

Amazing Photographer!

Brent was amazing!! We weren't planning on doing engagement photos, but it came with his package and we are so glad we did them! It really let us get to know him and how he works and WOW did our photos turn out to be perfect! And Brent even taught my husband how to smile! Which is seriously priceless! On the wedding day he was amazing at navigating so many different pieces and so easy to work with. He has an eye for the best lighting so we really just let him lead us to where he thought the best photos would be. One of my bridesmaids just texted me "I loved Brent the photographer-he had such fun and fresh instructions. Wedding photos can feel stale and forced, but he did such a good job of keeping it energetic and lighthearted! I just know they will be stunning!" We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding and could not recommend him more! We can't wait to see the photos!
