We were beyond satisfied with our choice of Brea and her team as our photographers. You can see by just looking at her photos that she is a talented photographer. Her photos are visually stunning and full of emotion. She and her team were able to get not just the beautiful Instagram-worthy shots, but the “little things” that were unique to OUR day. When we look at our wedding photos, I can tell you almost the exact moment something was happening. (“Here’s where you said X in your vows.” “Here’s where our flower girl was being a little goofy.” “Here’s where the strap on my shoe came undone and you had to redo it.”)
But, unlike her portfolio, what we couldn’t SEE until our wedding day was that she is skillful at managing the flow and needs of the day. She gave us great advice on our proposed schedule to fit everything in without feeling rushed. Our families remarked at how efficiently the photography assistant, Brooke, managed the formal/posed family shots, making sure the right folks were “on deck” when needed. She and her team were simply ON IT all day, with everything from a spare bobby pin when the wind got too windy to even bustling my very long train when the formal shots were over so I could finally walk around comfortably. Between Brea and our other capable vendors, we were honestly able to just be present throughout the day because we knew we were in great hands.
In addition, we had unique lighting needs due to our venue. Brea was patient and knowledgeable in advising us about what would work best. She gave us comparisons of what different lighting options would look like so we could make the best decisions for us, given our own preferences and the quirks of the venue.
We didn’t know until we got well into wedding planning how essential the photographer is to the day. Overall, we found Brea (and her team) to be technically skilled, emotionally intuitive, and also just nice, pleasant people to spend the day with. We know you will be in great hands if you choose her as your photographer.

Our journey with Brea started with our engagement. My fiance knew that I wanted photos of the engagement, so he set out on a mission to find a photographer. Brea came highly recommended from a friend, and my now husband loved Brea's ability to photograph anywhere and anyone. She was an easy choice.

After seeing our engagement photos, I knew we wouldn't trust anyone else with our wedding day. Brea worked easily with family members who wanted to have a say in everything, and also was able to catch amazing, hilarious, and beautiful moments. Her second shooter and assistant were amazing and consistent with the style of her photography. We almost wished that it rained on our wedding day so we could have one of her beautiful in the rain photos.

We also chose to do a photo booth with Brea and we got SO many comments of how beautiful the photos were. The props were also great -- some people ended up pulling them from the booth and they ended up on the dance floor, which made for some hilarious photos.

Overall, Brea was an incredible choice for our day and turned around our photos in lightening time. We had a sampling of photos that night, a blog with some photos the next week, and all of our photos back in less than two weeks.

Where do I even start? To know Brea is to love her. Photography was one of our most researched vendor items for our wedding. We did not get a videographer, and knew we wanted someone particularly skilled to capture our indoor, elegant evening wedding. We could not have gotten luckier with coming across Photography by Brea. First, she's a phenomenal communicator. She takes the time to meet with each couple personally and her packages include an engagement shoot to get to know one another before the wedding. This was an INCREDIBLE day. Brea is fun, understands and subsequently attempts to alleviate the pressure of the day, and becomes a friend to you and your people. This made such a difference in our pictures, in how my partner and I could interact with one another, and the efficiency to capture all the details to tell our story.

Brea's skill translates well amongst her team of photographers and assistants (Jim and Courtney), who were all incredibly professional, kind, and efficient on wedding day. I will always remember our day for her compassion, and attention to detail - it made all the difference. If you hope for your wedding to be absolutely picture perfect, and one that you can relive through pictures, then look no further than Brea.
