Brant was an absolute pleasure to work with, he captured the most amazing shots of our special day. The photographs are incredible but working with Brant was a dream throughout! We organized everything from the UK and nothing was a problem or to much to ask!
His skill and experience shone through and he was always in the right place at the right time and captured incredible memories from our wedding day. Brant we cannot thank you enough your talent and personal skills got the job done to an outrageously high standard! -

Pick Brant - you won't regret it
Brant is awesome - very responsive and a clear communicator, so everyone's well prepared in advance to make sure you get all the photos you want on your wedding day. His photos are really amazing - the shots of my wife and I really capture our expressions in a way that make you feel the joy of the day. The candids are even better - we had cornhole at our wedding, and he got some photos of people playing that look like they were shot by professional sports photographers.
Brant is an amazing photographer and an absolute pleasure to work with - you should definitely hire him for your wedding! -

the best photographer we could have asked for!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Brant was to work with. From the first introduction video he delivered to get to know him to the day my husband and I said "I do", he made us feel extremely comfortable. His presence kept us at ease during our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day, with a great second shooter to accompany him. Brant is by far the best photographer I have worked with as he made the wedding spotlight feel natural! For all our photography needs in the future, Brant will be my first call! -

Madison Married on 12/02/2021Washington Wedding 12.02.21
My husband and I used Brant and his assistant for our wedding last week on 12/02/21 in Downtown San Diego. Brant arrived early, got setup, and was ready to go when I arrived on scene. He and I communicated regularly since May 2021 when I found him and hired him immediately. I am a bit of a control freak, so it was amazing to have Brant answer my emails, texts, and calls quickly. He was funny, direct, and kind. I don't even have any photos back yet, but I just know from his reputation and demeanor and the day we had, that they will be absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed when you hire Brant and his staff. -

Eric W. Married on 10/23/2021Fun and Great Photographer
Brant was a joy to work with! My wife and I are not the most comfortable being in front of the camera and center of attention but Brant’s fun and relaxed attitude put us both at ease. Our first session with Brant was engagement photos along the beach at Torrey Pines and right away after meeting I felt confident that he’d capture the important moments during our big day. Like many 2020 couples we had to postpone our ceremony to 2021 and Brant was flexible to follow us as our ceremony date changed.
Brant, and his second Heather, did a wonderful job at our wedding getting the unique moments as they popped up throughout the day. It all seems like a blur and we are very happy to have hired Brant Bender to record it all. The quality of the photos are amazing and I appreciate the quantity of photos we were given, we have plenty to pick our favorites from.
The hosting website looks great and it makes it very simple to share our photos with family members. I appreciate the simple to navigate interface for its ease of use and functionality.
Thanks Brant and Heather for doing an amazing job at our wedding and making the day that much more memorable! I think Brant was having as much fun as us during the day’s events.

Brant is the Best!
We found Brant through a mutual contact and to say that it was a blessing is an understatement. After our initial phone call with Brant it was clear he was the photographer for us. He was kind, funny, and was able to make sure all of our needs were met.
We met him for the first time for our engagement shoot at the beach and he made our experience so easy and so much fun. He made us feel comfortable and made us laugh which made us feel relaxed and confident. The photos turned out stunning and we knew we hired the right person to make our dream wedding a reality.
While preparing for the wedding he was quick to respond to our questions and made sure we knew the timelines and had our photo lists prepared for the big day. When the wedding day came he made everything so easy and relaxed. He was prepared and made everyone feel comfortable and confident. Our special day was captured so beautifully by Brant and we were brought to tears by how perfectly he captured our special day. Brant was so amazing and we will be using him for any other photography needs we have in the future.-

Megen O. Married on 06/04/2021Best Photographer EVER!
Brant is the photographer a bride dreams of for her wedding day. Every single wish I had for my wedding photos was made true by Brant and his team! Even better? His kindness, humor, energy, enthusiasm, and sheer fun throughout the entire day made the day itself significantly happier, filled with laughter, and an absolute blast! Seriously, I had so. Much. Fun on my wedding day, and I know a HUGE portion of that is thanks to Brant and his team. The photos are stunningly beautiful—I couldn’t have envisioned lovelier pictures! The day rushed by for me, so getting to see and spend time with the gorgeous pictures he took makes my heart sing. I’m beyond grateful to revisit and experience the moments of my wedding day, and it’s truly thanks to the pictures he took. I’m so, so thankful to Brant for being there to take photographs during my wedding day, and I’m even more thankful to him for making the day so wonderful. Best photographer EVER! I recommend him for any event, especially weddings! :D -

Brant Bender captured our love story perfectly!!
A wedding photographer plays such a crucial role in your special day- you can’t go wrong with Brant Bender! We struck gold with Brant! He captured our unique love story with style and fun! Despite us living out of state, he made it a point to get to know us and our preferences, style, and personalities all before our big day. We love how he was able to deliver a contemporary, yet classic feel to our photos. He had the formidable task of being both a wedding photographer and family photographer; he had to photograph our very young active children who were a big part of our wedding in January 2020. We asked him to capture our children’s perspectives of the event and he absolutely nailed it! From that special first look with my boys to group family photos to detailing the theme and essence of our wedding- he was able to thoroughly and creatively capture it all! And his write-up/blog of our wedding on his website was such a surprise and treat! Proof that he loves what he does. I am so grateful for the work he and his team did to document every detail of our very special day! My only regret is that we don’t live in San Diego- I wish he could also be our family photographer for other occasions.-

Tiffany Married on 10/10/2020Amazing Brant!!!
Brant and his team were very professional and responsive from the minute I reached out on his website. I was panicking to find a replacement photographer with my wedding only 3 weeks away (my originally booked photographer canceled due to a family emergency). Brant and his team came to the rescue and he was so organized with questionnaires to capture my vision and organize the shot list, which made our day flow smoothly. Brant and his team communicated so effectively to get all of our family shots and transitions in and on schedule. Brant's assistants also helped with professional equipment for the sun/shade shots at sunset cliffs, which all turned out so beautifully. At our reception, Brant was very mindful of making sure we captured the sunset shots as we crossed under the Coronado bridge and all of the important shots throughout the reception, he kept us on track with timing! Brant's edited pics were ready a few weeks later and all uploaded to a wonderful and user friendly photo gallery where I could download all of the pics in high resolution. 100 stars for Brant and his amazing team!!! Highly recommended!!! -

Christine M. Married on 08/22/2020Exceptional photographer
Brant Bender is an exceptional wedding photographer. I reached out to Brant as he was listed as a preferred vendor for our venue. I was so impressed when he quickly got back to me and with a video message and a portfolio of wedding pictures he had previously shot at our venue. The pictures were beautiful. I met with Brant in person at my venue and knew immediately that he was the guy for the job. Not only does Brant take stunning photos, he is also a joy of a human being. He was so friendly and charismatic that I knew he would be a great fit for us. He was also very accommodating when we had to postpone on our wedding due to Covid. During these crazy times you really want to have vendors who are dependable and reliable. Brant was so quick to always get back to me as things were constantly changing while planning a wedding during a pandemic. When the big day finally arrived, we were overjoyed to have him and his assistant with us. I am a person who hates having my picture taken and have never had professional photos done. I was worried about knowing what to do or how to pose. Brant made me feel completely at ease that day. He gives great direction and brings an upbeat positive vibe that will take all that fear away. When we received our photos (it only took 3 weeks by the way! WOW!) I felt so beautiful and this is coming from someone with a lot of insecurities. Everything he captured was simply stunning. It’s funny that you spend so much time and effort into planning the smallest details for your wedding and it goes by so fast that you don’t have time to appreciate your work. Thankfully, Brant took so many pictures of all of the details and work I put into the wedding that now I can look back at these pictures and relive and remember all of those things. I really can’t recommend him enough. Having a great photographer is one of the most important things you need for your wedding. I am so happy we went with Brant Bender as our photographer. We will forever cherish all of his beautiful work!-

Brant did our engagement and wedding pictures. His professionalism and expertise gave my wife and myself memories that will last a lifetime.

Brant did a fabulous job putting together a truly top-notch photography deliverable. He had a professional team of photographers and lighting to support his efforts and choreographed many different wedding settings and moments throughout a long day. He was also an incredibly ebullient as well as just flat out helpful person to interact with on every level. -

Brant is absolutely AMAZING! He was responsive, followed up, was incredibly communicative, and provided our photos when he said he would. He did an amazing job at capturing so many wonderful moments, genuine candid moments, and most of all the love my husband and I have for one another. He is so incredibly professional but also fun, relaxed, and totally got us! I felt like we knew him forever! We didn’t have to think about any pose ideas as he knew exactly how to stage us and encouraged us to have fun! We felt like we could be ourselves and he captured us perfectly! Our photos are amazing! I could not believe it when we saw the sneak peek photos and know our final wedding day photos will be PERFECT & AMAZING! Amazing photos that we will cherish forever! I would highly recommend Brant for your photography needs. We will definitely be reaching out to him for future photo sessions!-
