I was finishing getting ready when I saw Brett & his team walking up the driveway, right on time for our wedding. I instantly became nervous as it felt like the true start of events, having a camera on me non-stop. But when Brett walked into the room it was as if everyone became calmer in his presence. His kind, soft-spoken manner radiated positive vibes into the room. The entire team introduced themselves to everyone in the room and then instantly felt like they were part of the family watching the events. Everyone was so polite, hard working, personal and punctual. When I had to change my venue last minute, they went with the flow without complaint. Our guests were engaged and Brett made a point to make sure at the end of each event there were not any specific pictures missed. The whole team encouraged us to live in the moment and our photos reflect the happiness of every minute. I could not be happier with my photos, I do not believe anyone else could have captured exactly what I wanted with such ease and only a virtual meeting beforehand. Hands down the best photo/video team ever!!

Choosing Making the Moment as our photo and video team was an absolute NO-BRAINER!

From the very beginning of the planning process, their team truly took the time to get to know my soon-to-be husband and me as a couple. They learned about our families, our closest friends, and what mattered most to us, and it showed in every photo and frame of video. The end result was beyond anything we could have hoped for.

They were incredible at listening to our wants and needs and turning them into pure magic. On our wedding day, they were calm, prepared, and completely professional, which made everything feel effortless. Dagna (video) and Vince (photos) were an absolute joy to work with and were so fun, easygoing, and talented.

When you are planning a wedding, having vendors who communicate clearly and truly understand your vision is everything. Brett and his team are unmatched in this area. We are so grateful for their thoughtfulness, positive energy, and top-tier work. We could not recommend Making the Moment more highly!

Cheers,
The Reids

Brett and his team did an incredible job with our wedding photos! From the start of the process he felt like part of our family, and that feeling continues to this day. I cannot recommend Making the Moment enough! 10/10, would definitely work with again!

We are thrilled we chose Making the Moment (MTM) as our wedding photography team! They truly went above and beyond to capture every precious moment of our crazy Indian/Western fusion wedding weekend. Their creativity shone through in every shot, from the candid moments to the stunning Bollywood shots to the crazy dancing. The chemistry between us, Brett, Vince and the entire MTM team was incredible — They made us feel comfortable and at ease, allowing our true emotions to shine through in the photos. The pictures are wonderful, and we are forever grateful to MTM for their dedication and talent in preserving our memories so beautifully.

Brett, Shana, Katie, and the entire Making the Moment team are fantastic! We found them from a recommendation of our venue, The Arcade, and we could not be more grateful! The entire company is professional and responsive. Brett guided us through the entire process and worked with us to create a timeline of the day, making sure to get our input, as well as adding in his expertise. Everyone told us one of the most important things we'll have after the wedding are the photos, so be sure to get a good photographer. We certainly got the best! Brett was a joy to work with, and even better - the photos are everything we dreamed of and more! I can not recommend this company enough!

Exceptional team of photographers/videographers who put out sensational artwork to capture the specialness of our day. So fun to work with and they managed the absolute chaoticness of an Indian wedding with above and beyond professionalism and joy! Could not ask for more

I could go on & on about Brett and the entire Making the Moment team. I mean, talk about the ultimate hype team! They made me feel so beautiful and calm. And I think the best part about working with them was that I never ever felt rushed or like I was on someone else's time. Anything I asked for, they made possible. My now-Husband and I first met with Brett in December of 2020 and had the most wonderful time chatting with him. From there, we did not look for a single other photographer. His work was exactly what we were looking for - timeless, artistic, unique and he has this amazing abaility to capture his couples in their purest form. I feel like our wedding portfolio (engagement session + full-day coverage of our wedding) perfectly captures my relationship and I couldn't be more grateful to them for being there on our day. It just felt like we were hanging out with our friends all day with Brett and his team.

Making the Moment became part of the family. The team's highest standards of excellence were on full display throughout the wedding weekend, as they rolled with the punches of folks running late or nowhere to be found at call time. There was never any question that we were in the best possible hands, with a team that was deeply invested in the people, relationship dynamics, and emotions behind the shots. It is no surprise, then, that each photo tells a story, expertly and artistically told. And don't get me started on the video. How they managed to sift through all that footage and find the joy and fun, the most stunning floral, the love that's communicated through looks, smiles and tears, all the while weaving together speech highlights as if narrating the day…is nothing short of masterful. Nothing is missing and we couldn't remember the day any better than what was captured. Even the song choices are perfect, keeping the energy upbeat and fun, yet romantic. I have submitted it to the Academy for their consideration. It will be nominated for and win best editing, best director, best set design, and best costume. Alex and I won't be nominated because we weren't acting. This love is real, and I'd like to thank my wife and God for that. Now get to bed, you crazy kids! 

We hired MTM photography and film for our April 2021 wedding. I truly can't say enough about Sara and Anna who we worked with. From the start, we immediately felt comfortable with them. They are artistic and creative, and the images and film finished products we received absolutely blew away any of our expectations. I know some people say they are hesitant to have a film of their wedding day, but if you book with MTM you will NOT regret it. As far as images go, the creativity throughout is something you don't see with a "typical" wedding photographer. They are more like works of art. MTM is 100% worth the investment! Plus you'll get to meet really cool people, who will feel more like friends at the end of the day :)

literally have no words on how to describe what Brett, Anna, and the rest of the team was able to do for me and my husband.

First, I'll be honest, it is truly an investment - however, it is truly probably the most best investment we have ever made. I felt like part of a family, from the countless number of emails, phone calls, texts ... the list goes on and on. When we first started the wedding planning process, we had originally hired a different photo & video team; after we had gotten our engagement photos done by them, we knew we had made the wrong decision. After we got our first set of engagement photos back, we decided to start looking into a new photographer.

I had first talked to Brett when we first started looking for a photo & video team - I loved their idea of the cinematic videos, and I felt like their photos told a story. I just can't explain it - they just make sense. When we finally went in to talk with Brett for our first visit, literally every. single. thing. we hated about our old photographer they said they didn't do. The best part, WE NEVER TOLD THEM THAT WE HAD HIRED ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER! They thought that law school had gotten the best of us, and we were just super busy. When we left that day, my husband and I knew we had found our photographers.

They have several different packages you can choose from, however, we went with several packages that included a cinematic video, trailers, full length videos (more on that later), photos (wedding & engagement), and books. The cinematic video didn't just include the day of the wedding, but a separate day that the video team comes and videographs - think of it like a video engagement session. For ours, we decided to have a party (our bridal party party as we called it) and Anna came out and filmed for a couple hours. The cinematic video also includes interviews, so we were able to have some interviews taken at the bridal party party too. This was so much fun, and the whole entire team was amazing.

Sadly, COVID has changed us all, and one of the things that happened was we had to change our entire reception (literally change venues and tell people they couldn't come) about 5 weeks before our wedding - that was no easy task, but because of MTM, we were able to live stream our ENTIRE WEDDING (both ceremony and reception) and they worked with us every step of the way in planning everything. I am extremely OCD, I need control of EVERYTHING - this was probably the first time that I was able to breathe easy; I knew that the MTM team was able to do what we needed them to do. It was flawless - everybody who wasn't able to be at our wedding because of COVID was able to watch. And people who still wanted to watch the reception were able to, even though we had to limit it to bridal party, plus ones, and parents. The best part? We were able to rewatch our entire wedding and reception the day after we got married. I will never be able to thank Brett for that.

I could probably continue writing on for hours because they were truly that good. Everybody loved their energy, their passion, and how they made everyone feel included and loved. I don't think I could have asked for a better team on my special day and throughout the process.

If you are considering Making the Moment, please hire them. They are 100% worth it - they will make everything better, and they will remind you that it is your day and to enjoy it.
