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.

Our absolute favorite vendor!!

The best decision my husband and I made for our wedding was going with Brea. We had looked a few photographers but weren’t finding one whose photos we absolutely loved. Brea was the photographer at my BIL’s sister’s wedding, and she came highly recommended to us. From the first call we immediately clicked. From our engagement shoot, to planning timelines, to the day of the wedding, we were continually impressed. Brea is responsive, timely, fun, kind, and immensely talented. We loved having her blog to easily share with friends and family within just a few short days of the wedding. We cannot recommend Brea enough. Go with her!!!

10/10 recommend!!!! over & over again!!!!!!

Brea is PHENOMENAL!!!!!! She goes above and beyond to get to the know the couple and really capture who they are! From the moment we met Brea, she was kind, warm, inviting, and passionate-her work truly speaks for itself! She blew us away in every single way! When we received our sneak peak and wedding photos, my jaw hit the floor with how INCREDIBLE the pictures were-she captured our special day in ways I didn't know was possible! I am so obsessed with all of our pictures Brea took and I could not recommend her enough!!!! I was/still am speechless at the amazing work Brea does-I would work with her over and over again! We also received our sneak peak and full wedding photos extremely quick! We are extremely happy and would recommend her over and over again!!!

Awesome photos and lifelong memories

Our wedding took place over several challenging locales including the Pride of Baltimore II, Maryland Science Center and Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Brea was recommended to us as an amazing photographer who could shoot the most impressive shots in low light conditions. She absolutely lived up to the billing, with her and her fellow photographer taking a huge amount of really amazing photos over several hours on the day.

Never intrusive or in the way, always on the lookout for a killer shot, she managed to put together an amazing portfolio of shots to give us memories that will truly last forever. As a former photophobic subject who rarely had shots with smiling and eyes open, I was delighted that our big day was captured in a way that we'll remember for all the right reasons.

I couldn't recommend Brea and her team enough - between the reviews and photos on her blog, you can see easily she is fantastic and will give you amazing and vibrant memories to look back on.

Amazing photos that we will treasure forever

Brea was AMAZING. From when we met her, through the end of our wedding night, she was everything we were looking for in a wedding photographer. She is so kind, easy to work with, professional, and knowledgeable. We did our engagement shoot with her first, and she knew the best places to go and what times to go there to get the best photos. On the day of our wedding, all of our friends and family remarked on how great she was, and how quick and easy she made taking portraits. Having her around felt like having another friend with us. We really loved all of our pictures and how personal they felt; Brea doesn't just capture moments, she captures the feelings behind them, too. We will treasure them forever!

Incredible photographer and person

Hiring Brea was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. She was on our venue's recommended vendor list and after speaking to her, we knew she was the photographer we wanted to hire. She is extremely personable and kind and really listened to what we wanted.

Brea shot our engagement photos and immediately put us at ease. They turned out so beautiful and made us really look forward to using Brea for our wedding photos.

Brea was extremely helpful when planning our timeline. We felt like she was even more helpful than our wedding planner in this regard and she initiated a phone call to work out a plan and set our minds at ease. She also gave great advice about doing a first look.

Words can't describe how amazing our photos turned out. Brea and her second shooter Jim captured every important moment and emotion that we and our guests were feeling. We got a sneak peek of the photos the night of the wedding, a blog post with additional pictures two days later, and the entire set of photos in less than 3 weeks. Incredible!

I really can't say enough how great Brea is. Hire her. You will be thrilled with the results!

Thank you Brea for capturing a lifetime of memories!

Working with Brea was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first email exchange, she set a tone of warmth, clarity, and genuine excitement for our day. What stood out most was how invested she seemed in understanding what was important to us and how we wanted to remember our wedding day — the style, priorities, and emotional feel we wanted our photos to capture.

From our first meeting, to our engagement shoot (which had to be rescheduled on our end at the last minute- and she kindly understood), to coordination with our wedding planner, and all the tasks along the way, Brea was a stellar professional for ourselves, our family and our guests. She helped us build a timeline that made sense, offered suggestions that only someone with deep experience could provide, and always did so with genuine joy for other on the other side of the lens.

Reviewing the gallery after our wedding took our breath away. She captured fleeting expressions and tiny details we didn’t even notice in the moment. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the day, and every moment, from start to finish.

I’m deeply grateful for her artistry, professionalism, and heart- from both herself and her staff- that joined us on our day. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photographer who is not only talented but truly wonderful to work with for such a joyous occasion. Thank you Brea- and team!- for all your help and support during our wedding.

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.

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!
