    Stunning, artistic images

    Beauty & Life was incredible start to finish. While looking for a photographer, I was particularly keen to find someone whose portfolio did not include blown out highlights (an undying trend these days) and someone who felt comfortable shooting certain restricted locations. It took quite a while to locate the former and Bruno was quick to agree to the latter. On the day itself, Bruno and his wife were timely, fun to work alongside, & full of energy. The preview came around the 4 week mark and the full album around 9. The photographs are phenomenal. Almost everyone says that about their wedding photographs (which, is, of course, nice to know so many people are satisfied). But I am objectively certain that ours are unique among the genre. From the staging to the composition to the candids to the coloration of the full album, every one bespeaks the style and documentation we were aiming for. Do yourself a favor and hire Beauty & Life!

    The best photgrapher in the game

    I don’t think this text box could ever hold the amount of praise, compliments and strong recommendations I have for Bruno and his wife (second photographer). Bruno pours his heart and soul into each picture he takes and creates beautiful pictures but also art. His work is like no other photographer on the market. So far our wedding sneak peak photos have blown us, as well as all our family and friends away. Your wedding day may fly by, but Bruno’s photos are timeless, and we will forever treasure them. HIGHLY recommend Bruno, without any doubt.

    Bruno is amazing!

    My husband and I are absolutely blown away by the work Bruno and his wife did for us. After seeing some of his award winning images online, we knew we absolutely had to have him for our wedding. We hired Bruno to do our engagement shoot and to be with us for 11 hours on our wedding day. His style of shooting and editing is unmatched and incredibly unique. We love how he plays with light and shadow and the deepness of color in his color photographs. He makes the process SO FUN and we felt so comfortable with him. He is beyond professional while also being funny and relaxed. Major props to he and his wife for keeping their cool and keeping ME cool on my wedding day when my husband discovered that Mens Wearhouse never gave him his pants for his suit. Bruno kept the secret while the boys figured it out (respectfully allowing my husband to tell me in his own time) and took some amazing and hilarious photos of the guys in their underwear to make light of the situation in our memories. You get what you pay for with Bruno. He is not cheap but neither is his work. His prices are 100% fair for the amazing images you will have forever to remember the best day of your life.

    I can't say enough amazing things about Bruno and Beauty & Life: Captured. From the beginning, he was a great communicator; he worked with my husband and me on our photography wishes; and he made us both feel so comfortable. I was very much at ease the morning of my wedding, but Bruno was able to make it an even better experience - he was professional, made me laugh, and his eye for detail was like nothing I had ever seen. I look at our pictures daily and I am still amazed how he was able to capture the intimate feel of our venue, the distinct details that we so subtly placed at our reception, and most importantly, our love for each other. Every time one of my friends gets engaged, I immediately begin tagging her in Bruno's posts because everyone should experience the beauty that Bruno's photographs provide.

    We were so lucky to have worked with Bruno. From the moment we met him, he was enthusiastic and excited to be a part of our day. On the day of, he was on time and made sure to capture moments neither my husband and I would have ever thought of. His eye for Beauty in nature is what we loved about his photography. The use of everything around us on our wedding, from the clouds, the natural lighting and the green trees, bruno put it all to use. He captured our fairytale, our dream. His photos are stunning and unique. Bruno went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for everything Bruno!

    Bruno and his lovely wife, Maira, were the photographers for my wedding this weekend and I could not recommend them more! They both are so kind, professional, and attentive. Bruno's work is AMAZING. I used him for my engagement pictures and was so in love with the work that I HAD to have him for my wedding! I am so excited to see the pictures because I know how stunning Bruno's work is! It was so nice that Bruno's wife also assists him as she took many candids throughout the night and also was able to capture my husband's face as I walked down the aisle while Bruno was photographing me. I recommend Bruno fully!!

    Bruno and his team are amazing. I orginally came across Bruno on The Knot.com and then came to find out my friend had done her maternity shoot with him and her pictures were stunning! My husband and I met with Bruno last September, where he blew us away with his talent and work. We knew immediately that we needed him to capture our day in an elegant, artistic and creative way. We hired Bruno who works alongside his beautiful wife and hired a second shooter. The day of the wedding, Bruno showed up early! and immediately got to work. He never stopped for a moment and always had great ideas and knew how to work with everyone in the room. Him & his team are so sweet and kind, they made my day that much easier. He constantly put a smile on not only my face but all of the wedding party around us. Bruno is always there at the right moments to capture all of the beauty and love. He took wonderful pictures of us, the wedding party, family, etc. during the cocktail hour time. During reception- he was everywhere and anywhere. I knew whether i was on the dance floor, walking around or simply talking to a guest that I could turn around and Bruno would be there and ready to take our pictures. Him and his team worked seamlessly together and with my other vendors. I cannot wait to see all of the pictures that Bruno took for us. We were truly lucky and blessed to have him be a part of our day. If you book Bruno, you can rest easy knowing that you will have flawless and beautiful pictures. He really does capture beauty and life in every moment. Love you Bruno!

    Every time I take a look at my photo album, it still takes my breath away. I cannot begin to explain how wonderful of a job Bruno did with my wedding photos. They are ABSOLUTEEEE perfection. I love it, I love it, I loveee it!!! He is a wonderful professional, he was on time every time we scheduled to meet up, during the pictures he made everyone feel comfortable and made everyone laugh. At the same time he took his job extremely serious and was very patient and wonderful throughout the whole day. Which to me was so important because on your wedding day there are so many things going through your mind and seeing him so patient and in control made me feel a lot more relaxed. Bruno thank you so much for your wonderful work on my big special day. Your work is flawless and I feel blessed to have found you two!!! Your team is one of a kind, and unbelievably talented. I recommend you to anyone with my eyes closed because I know they will be utterly and completely in love with your work as my husband and I were the second we laid eyes on your flawless pictures. Anyone that sees my pictures compliments them and mentions how great the quality of the work is, the quality of my albums caught me by surprised. I knew it would be beautiful but it exceeded my expectations. I also LOVED our flash-drive with all the photos in high resolution that had our names engraved on it. I would give Bruno 100 stars if I could. From the price to the quality, their personality, everything was exceptional. Best photographers I know, hands down. I will forever be thankful to you!

    Amazin photos, worth every penny!

    Our photos for our September wedding were absolutely breathtaking. Bruno and his wife (second shooter) are unobtrusive yet seem to capture the best candids you can imagine. The photos were perfection and everyone I show raves about them. I loved working with Bruno and highly recommend him to anyone looking for gorgeous stills and amazing candids. We couldn't be happier!
