Brian is AWESOME! He is so responsive and truly cares about your big day. His photos don't look cheesy or staged - simply gorgeous. A GREAT hire!

My husband and I got married in April of 2018 in Asheville, NC and had the absolute pleasure of having Brian of Mountain and Mood Photography in charge of capturing the beauty of our day. Brian has a remarkable ability to capture not only the physical beauty of what he photographs, but (as the name implies) he captures the mood in an uncanny way. Our photos look PHENOMENAL! His attention to lighting, his ability to guide and "art direct" our admittedly awkward posing, and the careful editing of his shots, have culminated in a stunning collection of priceless memories from our special day.

Brian also was able to provide a fantastic second shooter who complimented his style wonderfully and was always attentive of the little details like the positioning of my dress and smoothing out wrinkles in it before getting the perfect shot. They were both an absolute joy to have around and I don't think they missed a moment!

Thank you Brian!! And for coming all the way to NC from CO just so we could have the right photographer for our vision...we'll never forget it!

When we set out to plan our wedding after soaking up the love and awesomeness of becoming engaged, we felt like moths to a flame, attracted to all of the big, bright, flashy, Pinterest-y, things of the Wedding World. We couldn't help but feel like that was the way we needed to go, even though it wasn't the direction we wanted to go. One thing we knew for certain, and stuck to our guns about, is that we wanted to prioritize our wedding photos. Weddings are temporary (the clothes get hung up or tucked away, the bouquet dies, the food gets eaten), but your photos are essentially eternal. Between his talent, his professionalism, and his drive, there was no question that we wanted Brian to be our wedding photographer. We were impressed by his work, and by him instantly. Because we had initially planned a large, Colorado wedding, we decided to take a journey to Iceland, with Brian, to have our engagement portraits done. We wanted to have one special thing to ourselves, because we felt so consumed by this big wedding that we didn't really want. Iceland was amazing (duh), but our journey felt once in a lifetime, and to have professional pictures taken as we explored this beautiful place was a huge bonus. Our time in Iceland, plus our time with Brian, as well as the resulting photos, inspired us to find our voice, and we scrapped our plans for the large, Colorado wedding, and decided to have an intimate destination wedding. Our grandmothers both pretty much said Hawaii was the only place they would travel to, so Hawaii it was! We lost out on some deposits, and disappointed some loved ones, but we do not regret our decision. Looking at our wedding photos, we have come to appreciate (even more) how truly special, and how true to ourselves our wedding was. Our day was fun, casual, imperfect, but perfect, and equally as important, we can see that in each and every photo. Looking at our photos, we are not just transported to our wedding day, but we can feel everything about that

Mountain and Mood is unbelievable to work with. The photos we received are straight out of a magazine, and we have them up everywhere! I'm obsessed with everything Brian and his assistant Josh did for us, and it was worth the splurge to have them as our photographers. Photos are not something to skimp on, as they are one of the few things you will have and can cherish forever from your wedding day. If you are on the fence about a photographer, I highly recommend committing to Mountain and Mood.

I need to start by saying Brian is talented, down-to-earth, professional, skilled, and confident. We felt lucky to have him as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. The photographs that he took are stunning. He does an amazing job of capturing the surrounding landscape while highlighting the couple. He is always up for hiking to awesome locations and he isn’t afraid to get dirty to get a good shot. We will cherish the pictures that he captured forever. Thank you Brian! You’re the BEST!

Brian has given us a priceless gift with his photos! We joined him on an unforgettable trip to Iceland (where he took our engagement pictures), and then met back up with him in Estes Park, CO for our wedding. He is brilliant at what he does, is willing to work with your ideas, and has a super fast turnaround time. If you are looking for someone who will go on an adventure, is creative, professional, and has an eye for delivering, literally, breathtaking photos - Brian is your guy! We are already looking for other excuses to work with him in the future!!!

Brian was incredible to work with. The overwhelming response I hear when people see his images are 'breathtaking' and 'absolutely stunning.' What more could you ever ask for? You want him for your photographer, I promise.

I found Brian on Facebook. I immediately fell in love with his work. He was very responsive in putting plans together and easy to work with during the photo shoot. He combined our ideas together with his expertise which provided photos that we absolutely love.

"WOW" that is all i heard over and over again from friends and family. Matt & I absolutely love our engagement photos and feel this will be something very special we will value for years to come. Brian was incredibly patient with me as i continued to change the time, season, & location. We ended up waiting about 4 months from our wedding date and the turnaround time was EXTREMELY quick. We honestly could not be any happier with the end result. Thank you Brian for this wonderful memory and we look forward to working with you again in the future, we are already planning our next adventure.

Brian was fantastic! Our engagement photos and wedding photos were phenomenal. He captured the beauty of the outdoors as well as the glow of our happiness.
