Brandon shot my wedding at City Hall. He was friendly, professional, and creative, putting us all at ease and taking gorgeous pictures. Working with Brandon was a blast, and I cannot recommend his work enough. -

We really enjoyed working with Brandon for our camp wedding! Brandon offered us a super fair rate for 2 days of photography - outdoors! Brandon is super chill, and always seemed to be just in the right spot for me (the bride) to grab him when a perfect photo needed snapped. He got some AMAZING pictures of our venue - including epic star shots and did an excellent job at capturing the ethos of our wedding. We're grateful to have worked with him and that we have so many great shots to keep our memories alive. We also appreciated that he didn't force us into long photoshoots that just wasn't part of our game plan - he'll take your lead! -

Brandon's ability to capture photographs that you will cherish for a lifetime is an added bonus to what make him the perfect photographer. What Brandon bring to the table is a warm and relaxing energy on what is invariably a very stressful day in most people's lives. He takes all of the thinking out of the equation, effortlessly directing the wedding party and often lightening the mood with a joke and a smile. Brandon is the obvious choice if you value a personable and professional photographer. -

Brandon recently photographed my wedding, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has everything you would want in a photographer: friendliness, professionalism, and an amazing product. He always responded to emails thoroughly and promptly, and offered his own suggestions from his expertise, which went a long way. This helped take the stress off of us and gave us the assurance that Brandon knows what he is doing and will take care of it—we were right.
On the day of the wedding, Brandon was early to the venue and got acclimated to the room quickly. While he was taking candid photos of the ceremony and reception, I could barely tell that he was even there, which is ideal. When we were taking organized family photos, he was excellent at instructing us in a friendly and direct way to help us get the best shots possible.
My wife and I could not be more pleased with how our photos turned out, and we recommend Brandon to anyone seeking a great photographer for a wedding or other event. -

Brandon was the perfect wedding photographer. He was thoughtful, flexible, creative, and above everything-- such a kind person to work with. Some of the reasons Brandon was great:
- He travelled from out of town to be our photographer, and still took the time to scope out our venue the day before, making notes/plans for lighting and positions.
- As many wedding couples are, we were REALLY busy throughout our entire planning process, and Brandon was so understanding. He filled in all the holes for us, and did so much with very little detail/planning on our part. He didn't impose any of his own preferences or framework on top of ours, but he did a great job jumping in with suggestions and questions for us to consider.
- Our wedding album is very exciting to look at. For our wedding, Brandon's used several different styles of photography - he provided some very skilled fine art detail images, modern "lifestyle" shots, documentary style images, and more.
- Brandon noticed what was important before and during our wedding day, and kept his focus on those things. As an example: For the centerpieces, we had spent a lot of time collecting vintage tea tins which then had custom floral arrangements based on the colors of the tin, and I think Brandon took a photo of every single one (!) without even being asked. At the end of the day, I was so sad to see things getting disassembled, but when I heard that he took photos of them, I felt so happy.
- Brandon was very understanding, easygoing, and flexible throughout the entire event. As an example: during our (morning) ceremony, the sun was shining beautifully, and it was everything we had hoped / planned for. However, by the end of the 20 min ceremony, the wedding party and front row was VERY hot -- we had not planned for that. Though we wanted to do the family photos in the lawn in the sun, I asked Brandon whether we could find a spot in the shade to do them. He totally just made it work in a completely different spot, and the photos from that spot are some of our favorites.
Highly recommend Brandon for your event or wedding. -

Incredible!!
Photography is everything! There is so much to capture, so much you want to remember, it can be overwhelming. We are so grateful that we have had Brandon to trust with this throughout the years. He has captured not only our wedding, but our engagement, family parties, and holidays as well. Brandon is with you every step of the way. He has the vision, the experience, and the knowledge to help you with planning every detail and scheduling every moment to make you completely stress-free and relaxed during any special moment. My husband and I do not always feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but Brandon's personality and experience brings out the moments and feelings that you want captured.
During our engagement shoot, my husband (Kyle) collaborated and planned the entire moment with Brandon. He was able to walk Kyle through the logistics, the timing, and the setting. He even visited the location beforehand! I was completely surprised, and relieved that Brandon was there. Furthermore, when I look back at our engagement pictures, I am able to feel the love that he captured. When ordering our books and photos, Brandon's website is user-friendly. He was also available via web-chat to help us sort through the many wonderful shots when selecting photos for our book.
For our wedding, Brandon was beyond helpful. His knowledge and experience helped create our vision and turn it into our big day. He was with us every step of the way. Always available to talk or meet to discuss details and planning. On the day-of, I was completely relaxed and stress-free, knowing Brandon was there to capture our day. He was effortless and natural, making everyone in the room relaxed. You can see the pure happiness love, and raw emotion, in every picture that he captured. When I look back on our photos, I feel as though I am re-living the day. And isn't that what everyone wants? You spend months and sometimes years planning a wedding, and it only lasts for a day. Wouldn't you want to look back on that day and feel like you're transported back to that moment and that feeling? Thank you Brandon for creating just that for us. Thank you for capturing such special memories so naturally and vividly, and for being incredible at what you do. We are beyond grateful for you! -

Incredible Photos from an Incredible Photographer!!!
The short: Brandon is AMAZING, and so are his photos! Five stars, would book again ;)
The long: I honestly can't say enough good things about Brandon, mostly because I am limited to a certain amount of characters in this review which I will probably get dangerously close to.
Photos are, and should be, one of the most important parts of your wedding. Sure, your friends can take some, or your uncle with the nice camera, or even a venue recommended photographer, but I truly believe that the process, experience, and product wouldn't come close to what you would be getting with Brandon. He is a true artist with amazing attention to detail and the photos he captures have incredible quality. He provides them in a way that is very conducive to sharing with family and friends, without putting "PROOF" across them. That was VERY appreciated!!
And so we booked him, and right off the bat, I knew it was the best decision we would make. Brandon was very flexible and willing to work with us to schedule a time and place for our engagement shoot. We wanted to have one mostly to get comfortable with him before our wedding, but also for potential save the date pictures. It wound up being outdoors in a wooded park and despite my wishes, the sun did not come out. As upset as I was on the drive over, as soon as I saw Brandon and his warm smile, along with his reassurance that photos are best when its cloudy, I felt right at ease. And he was right- all the photos turned out AMAZING! The most surprising thing was that, even though I expected the day to be pretty awkward, (hence the reason we wanted to meet up and get a flow going so we would be ready for the wedding) his bright smile and warm laugh immediately put me I at ease. What could have been a really uncomfortable experience wound up being hours of fun, laughing, and exploring- and he caught it all on camera beautifully. We look so happy, because we really were! I wish I could have photo shoots with him all the time. We found the perfect save the date photo, and most of our friends and family still have it up on the fridge. It was of us after we climbed up onto the rails of a dock over looking the water - a thing one does not do unless they truly feel at ease with their photographer!
The actual wedding photography was no different from the engagement shoot, and nothing short of perfect. He was everywhere at once and caught all the best moments and detail shots. He made sure to grab us as the sun was setting, and we wound up having a mini photo shoot in a big field, and it was (as always) such a blast- and the photos are so romantic!! He was also fabulous at helping to wrangle up the family for portraits and group shots.
Brandon was available in the months and days leading up to the big day via video chat, phone, email and text. He helped finalize our timeline, photo list, and gave a ton of recommendations for vendors and ideas. He truly was the star vendor that we booked!! Definitely give him a shot (pun intended) :) -
