Amazing photos and so fun to work with!
We had a great experience working with Brad. He was very professional, showed up for the event well prepared (set up a phone call ahead of time, came the day before to see the lighting, and had us prepare a shot list so we were sure that we got all of the group shots we wanted). He was so much fun to work with and all of our guests loved taking pictures with him. Beyond that, the photos were amazing. They had all the fall colors we were hoping for and he did a perfect job capturing the event! -

Brad was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He is so funny and friendly and it made posing for pictures feel easy. He knows everything about weddings and was really considerate of us and all of the other moving pieces. There were times when my wife and I felt nervous or emotional and he was an amazing person to have with us during those times. I usually feel really awkward having photos taken and feel nervous about how I will look in them but Brad made sure I wasn’t worried about any of that and the pictures are so special. He helped me when I accidentally picked up leaves and bugs into my dress and was so nice. My family loved his energy and humor, too! I also really can’t say enough how much Brad helped us with planning and how great it was scouting the venue with him. He gave us a lot of ideas for our ceremony that we ended up using. We really felt like Brad was looking out for us and making sure we had an amazing day, and we’re so happy he was a part of it. -

Brad was amazing to work with and his photos of our engagement session and wedding were incredible. He was so helpful in every aspect of our wedding with advice and suggestions when needed, creating a seamless day of timeline, and making sure our day was perfect. His photos captured the day in such detail that we can look through them and relive each moment. I’d highly recommend Brad for anyone in need of a photographer! -

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!
Brad was AMAZING to work with! Not only did he photograph our wedding but he helped coordinate and keep everything running smooth the day of! He knows SO much about weddings and everything that goes into planning them that he had ideas and solutions for everything! Brad went above and beyond what I even imagined a wedding photographer could do. We met up at least twice before the wedding to scout out picture locations and anytime I had a question he responded quickly and professionally. I can’t say enough good things about Brad, he captured our wedding perfectly and our family and friends are loving the pictures. We can’t wait to work with him again and we will recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer! -

I can't fully emphasize how amazing Brad is to have as a photographer. When we first got engaged, I started seeking out a few photographers that I had in mind from the area. Unfortunately, we couldn't have Brad for our engagement session due to how hot in demand he was (and still is)! However, after we decided to elope, Brad was on board for it all from the beginning. He is basically whatever you need while also being his most authentic and genuine self! We're so thankful to have had him join us on our day and wouldn't want it any other way. After moving up to Frederick last year, it meant a lot being able to hire a local photographer. Brad has been a part of many of our friends' stories, and we're so lucky to now be a part of that tribe. -

Rachel Sent on 08/18/2022Very excellent
When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding, we wanted someone who was going to deliver fantastic photos but wouldn't break the bank. Brad was recommended to us through a friend and we couldn't be happier with our photos! Not only did we get hundreds of photos from our engagement shoot, but we also got thousands from our wedding! Brad is thorough, talented, and energetic, capturing the sweetest moments from our amazing day. We just need more wall space to hang all of our beautiful photos! -
Cerys Sent on 10/01/2018Brad is overall an amazing photographer!! I didn’t really have any ideas for what pictures I wanted so I left it up to Brad and ended up loving every idea he had. He made sure everyone was comfortable and went out of his way to get the best angles and best lighting. We love having such amazing pictures to look back on. You will be very happy with your decision choosing Brad.

A fabulous, attentive, and skilled wedding photographer. 10/10 Would Recommend!
Brad is an all-around great photographer and human being! He is amazing to work with professionally and is a great to have casual conversations with. He made our wedding day perfect with his photography and people skills.
First, Brad is an AMAZING photographer. He takes gorgeous shots and clearly knows his craft. He is extremely thorough in his work and takes care and attention to ensure that every moment is captured. He helped us scope out a few places to take photos a few weeks before the wedding. He even came up with contingency plans in case of bad weather (which we ended up using as it rained for part of our wedding day). His skill and love for photography shines through his composition and framing of EVERY shot. He is very knowledgeable and is very skilled in his field of photography. We just received a few samples of our photos, and they are STUNNING. The skill and talent behind each shot perfectly captures the moment. We are beyond thrilled with how beautiful our photos turned out and can’t wait to see the rest of them.
Second, Brad is extremely professional when it comes to the business side of things. He was very attentive and communicative with us throughout the entire wedding process. Before we booked with Brad, we set up a virtual meet up to get to know each other and we instantly clicked. Brad is so personable and likes to connect with his clients. He made both of us feel at ease and was able to easily validate and address any concerns or comments we had. On the advice of some other married friends, they recommended we make shot list of pictures we would like to have on the day of the wedding. We made one and gave it to Brad and he took the list and ran with it and went above and beyond our expectations. Not only were the pictures that we wanted to be taken captured, but also, he brought fresh and unique ideas to take some stunning photos that we will greatly treasure. Throughout the wedding day, Brad had conversations with all our wedding party and guests. Everyone adored Brad and said that he relieved some anxieties by being so bubbly and positive. Additionally, Brad helped us come up with the ideal timeline for our wedding day. We had no clue what we were doing so we relied heavily on Brad’s expertise in developing the timeline. He completely ROCKED it. With the help of his guidance, he made sure to keep us on track for time and ensured that we were able to enjoy our day.
Lastly, due to our requests, we asked for a second photographer and had the pleasure of working with Amber (Twelve Lines Studio), who he recommended. Both were fabulous to work with and could not speak more highly of both. Clearly, they worked phenomenal together and were able to capture all of the moments from our perfect day.
If you are looking for a fabulous, attentive, and skilled wedding photographer, then we highly recommend Brad Barnwell. He will be the perfect addition to your perfect day! -

Energy unmatched!
Brad was sincerely one of the easiest people to work with, and his energy brought such fun to our entire night! He always made sure to let us socialize and then bring us back together to remember to get a few photos of ourselves as well! Every one of our guests complimented his great work and just pure joy he brought to capturing our night! We couldn’t be happier with the moments he helped us capture! Highly recommend!!! -

Stop right here and look no further - Brad is the total package! We had Brad do both our engagement and wedding photos and could not have been happier with that decision! My husband and I are not the most photogenic people however Brad made us feel 100% comfortable and directed us through all the pictures. He was also a superstar at our wedding, making sure everyone knew where to go, timing, etc. (he was better then our actual wedding coordinator!). He was able to create so many breathtaking and unique images and really captured the essence and feeling of our day in his photos. I had SOOO many compliments about him and his professionalism. Needless to say, we plan to use Brad for all our future photo needs!!! -

I would highly recommend Brad and his services. Not only did Brad do a phenomenal job with our photography, but he also was involved in the coordination of our day. He attended our rehearsal and was with us every step of the way. He cares a lot and is very passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond what I’ve ever seen a wedding photographer do. We didn’t really have any idea of what we wanted for pictures, but he gave us ideas and gave us the MOST BEAUTIFUL memories of our day. His creative leadership really speaks for itself. He’s a master behind the lens and he will go to the ends of the earth to get the perfect pictures for your wedding day. If you want a fun, personable and super creative and talented photographer that won’t disappoint, go with Brad. He was the best!! -

A wedding day highlight!
Brad was flexible from the beginning with our last minute request for portraits after a courthouse wedding in downtown Frederick. We chose Frederick as one of the cuter towns in Western MD for a casual wedding ceremony - and Brad knew all the photogenic corners of town. Walking around taking photos with him for an hour was honestly a highlight of the day - he kept us moving so we never had to overthink a location or pose, and verbalized exactly what he was trying to achieve, and was quick to help us with a few random ideas of our own. There is so much to do over weddings and finding the right dress, and hair, etc. that it's so relieving having someone else take charge of documenting the day. On top of that, Brad seemed to know all the local restaurant owners, real estate gossip and ghost tales, so we got a free tour out of the deal. In terms of flexibility, he arrived early and got a few great shots of the ceremony that we really appreciate in retrospect, and offered to keep going after our hour was up despite a full day ahead. You can tell he really loves what he does and was a pleasure to spend part of our day with. Thanks again for your guidance, enthusiasm, professionalism and speedy photo delivery! -

Can not say enough amazing things about Brad. He is so talented, professional, patient and has the most incredible vision when it comes to capturing an image. He gave us the most beautiful wedding day, rehearsal night, and engagement photos I could have ever asked for. Brad was with us every step of the way and finding the best spots and lighting for photos. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you met him and is genuinely so excited to be there. We are so grateful to Brad for our amazing memories and look forward to using him for more special life events. He is the best!! -
