Couldn’t ask for more!
As someone who is usually behind the camera, choosing our wedding photographer was the biggest decisions we made throughout this experience. We wanted more than beautiful pictures. We wanted people who understood the importance of the moments, the people, and the memories we were trusting them to capture.
When we met Brandon at the wedding expo, we knew. His personality, his energy, his work and the way he connected with us, this was our guy.
Communication was so important throughout the entire process, since we live two hours away. Brandon made everything feel effortless. He immediately understood how important it was to include our daughter and made sure she felt just as much a part of the experience. He understood that this wasn’t just about two people getting married. It was about our family, our story, and all the people who helped make that day what it was.
But these three did SO much more than take photographs.
They jumped right in and became part of the day. I don’t just mean jumping into bushes to get the perfect shot (although they absolutely did that, too)!
When my necklace became tangled and I was standing there with freshly done nails and no patience, Brandon stepped in and saved the day. When we realized the girls’ dresses didn’t have pockets and we had a ring-storage dilemma, Zack came up with the perfect solution: safely tucking the rings into the flowers. And he followed right through with it!
Those might seem like little things, but they’re the things you remember. They weren’t just standing on the sidelines documenting our wedding. They were right there, helping make it happen.
When we originally booked Brandon, we expected him and Zack. Then he offered us the opportunity to add Ava to the team. She was newer to the scene, but her eye for photography was just as incredible. We didn’t hesitate. We trusted Brandon, we knew we wanted as much of our day captured as possible, and adding her was one of the best decisions we could have made.
Ava was absolutely fabulous. She was everywhere and anywhere, capturing moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The raw emotion she had as she captured some of the most intimate moments for my now-husband was something truly special. You could see the heart she put into her work.
I honestly wish there were a word big enough to describe the experience we had with these three, or a way to properly express the talent, heart, and dedication they brought to our wedding. But I don’t think there is. Instead, let the pictures speak for themselves.
Trust the process. Trust the team. Trust that they know what they’re doing. You will NOT regret it.
People talk about wedding blues, about how sad it is when the weekend is over and all the planning comes to an end. But we don’t look at it that way. We walked away as husband and wife with something we will get to relive for the rest of our lives. Every laugh, every tear, every little detail, and every moment we may have missed is now something we can look back on.
Brandon, Zack, and Ava, thank you for giving us more than photographs. Thank you for giving us memories, for making us feel comfortable, for jumping in when we needed you, for loving on our family, and for putting so much of yourselves into our day.
We didn’t just find our dream photography team. We gained friends. We love you all, and we will forever be grateful that you were part of our story.
If you’re looking for a photography team, stop looking. You’ve found them.
