Over the moon...that's how I feel about our experience with Brandon. My husband and I booked Xistence Photography almost two years ahead of our wedding and we are so glad that we did. We knew from the start that photo and video would be our most important vendors, as my husband and I are both in the film and design industries and we were very fastidious when it came to looking for vendors. When we found Brandon we knew immediately that he was the photographer we wanted by our sides on our special day. Not only were we beyond impressed with his skills present in his portfolio, but I'd also (like most brides) been compiling a wedding photography Pinterest since before I was even engaged. While speaking with Brandon I realized that one of my FAVORITE photos in my Pinterest was actually one of his, and that really sealed the deal for me. Not only are Brandon's skills as a photographer out of this world, he is also one of the most sincere, caring human beings I've had the pleasure of working with. Brandon was with us from day one and went above his duties as our photographer by checking in, making sure everything was going to plan along the way. We spoke on the phone and via Skype a few times prior to the wedding and met in person a year out and then again a few days before the big day. We are from New York and were planning from afar so the phone calls, Skype sessions and (when we were in NOLA, the in-person meetings) really made us feel comfortable, and prepared for our big day.
On the day of our wedding, he arrived early and got to work immediately. He was so quiet and quick I barely noticed he was taking some of the photos (I was surprised when we got the photos back because I hadn't realized Brandon was even near me for certain moments.) His assistant for the day Trevor was really something else, he captured my Husband and his groomsmen as if they were part of a GQ campaign while Brandon captured my bridal party and I as if we were going to be in a wedding spread in Vogue.
Brandon also suggested a first look, something I never thought I wanted, but I am SO glad he suggested it because the photos he captured during our first look were some of my favorite photos from the day, he really managed to capture our love and friendship.
I am so thankful to Brandon and his team for making our wedding photography dreams come true. Also, Brandon...I know you're reading this...Thank you SO much for the coffee....we just finished it off this past weekend. Best. Coffee. Ever.
Next time you come home to NY, let us know, we need to get together!

Thank you SO much for everything. I'll stop writing now, but in all honesty, I could write a book on how much I loved working with Xistence photography and the photos we now have for life.

Please don't hesitate to hire Xistence photography, Brandon is a truly genuine person and extraordinarily talented photographer. I am so thankful for him and his team and I am proud to now be able to call him a friend.

We are so lucky and blessed to have had Brandon as our wedding photographer. We had a two day Indian wedding with several events and Brandon was there to capture each event in beautiful detail. I still can't get over how amazing our pictures turned out!! Brandon gave us all our pictures (thousands) and we could not be happier about that. When I look back on our pictures, it is like I'm re-living the moments all over again. Also, prior to the events, Brandon talked to us about everything in detail. He is extremely respectful, understanding and down to earth. On top of that, he is extremely creative and a wonderful photographer! We are hoping to reach out to Brandon again in the future for other events

Brandon is THE BEST! I'm an incredibly anxious person as is, and with planning/the wedding itself anxiety was at an all time high. Words can't even do justice for the gratitude I have towards Brandon for being a huge part in alleviating that anxiety. Whenever we reached out before the event he was super quick to respond, was ready to hop on a phone call, and always had so much warmth and kindness towards us. We were planning out of state as well so this was super helpful! The day of our wedding, 10/22/2022, he came out early to get some getting ready shots at our hotel, and somehow managed to get beautiful photos in a cramped hotel room with a fairly large bridal party taking up most of the room. Not once did it feel like anyone was in the way and he captured so many different things that were going on that I didn't even realize.

The wedding itself, our transportation got delayed and we were close to 35ish minutes late for some formal family photos before the wedding started, leaving just under an hour for a ton of family photos we were hoping for. Brandon still managed to help us prioritize and get nearly all of the formal photos we had chatted about, which were just under 50 photos. We had a second line, DJ intros for our wedding party and a "first dance" where we invited everyone up to dance with their loved ones alongside us. These were some important milestones of the night for us and he captured the essence of what was felt through all of his photos by photographing not just us, but also how all of our guests reacted to each part of the night. This was so awesome to be able to look back at! That, and his photobooth, highly hiiighly recommend his photobooth too. We have so many goodies from our guests that loved that dang photobooth. At just about the one month marker after our wedding he sent us our photos which looked FREAKIN PHENOMENAL! Nearly all of our guests that we chatted with, commented on how impressed they were that he was everywhere all at once and snapped everything going on! He was a huge part of making our entire experience on a stressful day as chill and fun as we had hoped, and all of the photos felt so true to us, our family and friends! HIRE BRANDON! By far the best decision for our wedding was working with him!
