About

This business is the happiest accident of my life. What started as a hobby turned into my life’s mission. The most important thing in our short time on this planet is connection – and it’s the greatest honor of my life to be able to connect with so many amazing people and through my camera be able to show them how they love and how they are loved. After over 300 weddings and nearly a decade of this business, you’d think shooting weddings every weekend would get old. And there was a time that I was starting to feel that way… but that’s when I realized I was doing it wrong. Weddings aren’t about flowers and chair covers. They’re about people. This is the one time in your life everyone you love will be in one room. Each wedding is unique because the dynamic between each couple and each family is unique. That’s pretty f---ing cool.

Brea Made Our Day!

I found Brea through a friend, as she did an amazing job with their wedding photos. Working with Brea was incredibly easy. She was flexible with setting up phone & video calls to talk about our visions. On our wedding day, she kept the day moving along, was a friend to my husband and I, and most importantly took beautiful photos of our day without us even realizing she had a camera on her. We love how our photos show the candid and real moments of our wedding day, which is exactly what we wanted.

Brea had a sneak peak for us just a few hours after the wedding was over, and blog full of photos within a week of our wedding. Our full gallery and photo book were finished within 3 weeks of our wedding. The results are spectactular.

Brea is kind, creative, skilled, and incredibly caring about the couples she works with. We are immensely glad we chose her to work with and will recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer.

Fantastic experience with Brea and her team!

Working with Brea and her team (Jim and Joanne) for our engagement and wedding photos was such an amazing experience. From the start, Brea was incredibly easy to work with—super flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting to know us better. In the initial meeting with her, she was very clear about her pricing and process, leading to no surprises when it came to budgeting and planning. For our engagement photos, she even worked with my then fiancée and a close friend to plan a surprise Ghostbusters themed moment during our engagement shoot, which was both hilarious and indicative of our relationship. The photos captured our personalities perfectly while still feeling romantic and meaningful.
Brea is also just insanely talented. She handled everything from soft outdoor light to tricky indoor lighting (including the Maryland Center for History & Culture, where we got married) with total confidence. Her photos strike that perfect balance between classic portraits and candid, in the moment shots. She somehow caught every little detail, including decor, glances, quiet emotions, and then delivered beautifully edited images that we’ll treasure forever.
On top of all that, Brea was such a calming presence on our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable right away, which really shows in the photos. She was professional through and through—on time, dressed perfectly for the day, and great at keeping things moving without ever feeling stressed. Knowing she had everything under control let us actually relax and enjoy our wedding, confident that all the important moments were being captured by someone who truly cared.
I want to give a special thanks to her second photographer, Jim, who teamed up with my Best Men and me the morning before the wedding. He captured many candid moments that truly highlighted our joy during a part of the day I personally thought would be one of the more uneventful (eating lunch and casually hanging out before the wedding). Jim is also an exceptional photographer, leaving us with a beautiful collection of memories from my own part of the day.
After both sessions, Brea was quick to provide a small collection of our photos only days later, before providing us with the full collection of photographs within two weeks of the engagement shoot and the wedding day. We made many strong decisions for our big day, and hiring Photography by Brea was definitely one of our best.

The best experience we could have asked for!

Brea was everything we could have asked for, and more! From the engagement photos through the wedding day, Brea made us feel comfortable and made us look SO good! Amazing wedding photos were one of the things we cared about most, and the results were absolutely magical. And on top of all that, she photographed us SKIING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN IN OUR WEDDING OUTFITS, while she snowboarded! What else can you say to that? 1000/10, hire her.

Amazing Experience!

Working with Brea was fantastic! She did both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos, and we couldn't be happier with both sets! The photos are beautiful, we felt comfortable taking them, and they really captured the emotions of our special day! Brea was great to work with and we would highly recommend her and would hire her again for future occasions.

Literally the best

Brea is not only an incredible photographer, but an incredible person to have on the most hectic day of your life. Her work is dynamic, innovative, and soulful, she managed to capture all the little, special moments of the day and make 1000 others happen. During our engagement shoot, she made us feel so comfortable. We had no doubt that she would kill it at our wedding, but honestly didn't realize how reliable and fantastic she would be on the big day. I (the bride) turned to her so many times throughout our wedding, panicked about our packed timeline, and she would calmly reassure me we had plenty of time to capture everything. She captured everything. We can not recommend her enough, especially if you're getting married at the Belvedere!!! We love Brea and her amazing team!!

Brea was amazing!

Brea was amazing to work with from beginning to end - she is incredibly responsive and was so easy to work with to schedule our engagement shoot and our entire wedding day! She went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure there were no hiccups the morning of our wedding with the Baltimore Marathon scheduled for the same day and sent us sneak photos of our wedding literally the night of - and they were gorgeous (as were all of the photos)! She was very knowledgeable of our venue (the Baltimore Museum of Industry) and the area around our hotel (Canopy by Hilton) for our first look. Brea also provided a photobooth for the wedding and they turned out great, we loved the prints day of plus being able to print full size copies of each photobooth picture to share with our guests after the wedding! My husband and I cannot recommend Brea enough!!

Stunning Photos and Perfect Process!

Would it be silly to say we want to throw another party just so Brea can be our photographer again?? She was AMAZING and we feel so lucky to have found her through a bit of chance. By the end of our event, we felt we had spent time with an old friend, not a new photographer.

As soon as we met Brea, we knew she was the photographer for us. She was curious and asked all the right questions, she got to know us, she was clear about her process and artistic style, and she gave us various options to ensure her services met our needs. During the planning process, she was great at communicating - making sure she understood our event plan so she and her 2nd photographer could be in all the right places, while also offering kind suggestions to our plan which we gladly incorporated! We particularly appreciated the pre-event form she sent so we could document which moments and people were most important to us, and which family members to keep an eye on :-)

On the day of our event, she and her second photographer were "everywhere", but never intrusive - capturing authentic moments without any forced posing. Brea also brought an assistant to help with lighting and equipment, which made every moment run smoothly. Her experience as a photographer was apparent as she confidently adjusted through various shooting environments - candid getting ready photos, dynamic movement during an Indian baraat ceremony, an outdoor ceremony and family portraits, an indoor cocktail hour and reception, and romantic night shots in the rain.

But nothing prepared us for the moment when we saw the first photos from our event - a truly WOW moment. The photos were absolutely stunning, and we couldn't wait to see more. Brea shot one of our couples photos in the rain, on a pier, with Baltimore's iconic Domino Sugars sign in the background - it could be the cover of a magazine.

Brea was great with turnaround time - sending us a few amazing photos the same night as our event so we could share with our guests, posting a blog with highlight photos a few days after the event, and turning around the full set while we were still in our post-event glow. We have received so many compliments from our guests about our photos - not just on how the photos captured us, but how well the photos captured them. We were so happy and will treasure our photos in our family forever.

Brea is the photographer you want!!

Best Decision of Our Wedding

HIRE HER. Not only is she a dream to work with, but she takes the most incredible wedding photos we have ever seen—photos that truly capture what the moment felt like. I don’t know if she can take a non-impressive photo; each one is remarkable (and we should know! We got over 1500 back, and it's almost impossible to narrow them down to which ones should go into the wedding album!) Brea and her team captured every little reaction, emotion, and connection and, looking back through them, we can relive those moments all over again. The photos were not simply cookie-cutter, generic wedding pictures (although she was also able to take the most beautiful, traditional family photos too, and we love those as well) -- they are honestly just masterpieces. Everyone we show the pictures to are blown away. Her photos somehow perfectly capture the story of the best day of our lives. If there is any decision we are grateful for in the wedding planning process, it is hiring Brea as our photographer.

The BEST photographer to capture all the littlest moments and memories

Brea was one of the BEST choices we made for our big day. From the moment we reached out for services her energy was so lovely and truly made us feel comfortable and the experience special. She is a great communicator and very timely in responding and getting edited photos back to us (we literally had a few photos ready the next day). We booked her for both our engagement photos and wedding services and we LOVE the photos. She really captured us, the moments, and how the day felt. I know we will be able to look back at the photos and remember the day because of how good her and her husband Jim were at getting the good, special (and crazy) moments. The groomsmen also had a great time the morning of with Jim and the photos really show it. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Brea for wedding photography (any moment really). When our friends and family saw the photos they were blown away with her work. We will most certainly be using her for our photography in the future!!

More Than Photos—Brea Told Our Story

I met Brea when she photographed my best friend’s wedding, and I knew right away that she was the photographer I wanted for my own. Brea is warm, personable, and took the time to truly get to know us as a couple so that our photos reflected what mattered most to us. She was incredibly responsive to every request, creative and adaptive in bringing our vision to life, and somehow managed to capture every big moment and quiet detail with artistry and authenticity. We were stunned when she sent us photos that very night! Her speed is matched only by the breathtaking quality of her work. Choosing Brea and her team was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just document our day, she told our story.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I loved meeting and working alongside Brea at a recent wedding! Her work is fantastic and she has a super-fast photo turnaround post-wedding. Prior to the wedding, she was quick to respond to emails, helped give valuable input about the photo timeline, and was just a breeze to work with! On the wedding day, she was also wonderfully relaxed--especially when rain forced us to shift around some photo locations to keep our bride dry :) I would highly recommend Photography by Brea!
