    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    Brenda was amazing! I can't tell you how thankful I to have found her! She has now done two photoshoots for me; The first one we have never met considering I lived in NC and was proposing to my now wife in Grand Haven, MI. She set up everything my wife had no idea she was taking pictures of us! After seeing how great those pictures came out we hired her for the wedding in SC. She had no issues traveling and was always super nice and took great care of everything. We didn't have a worry on our wedding day with pictures!!!! She is very timely and communicated the whole time!! I would recommended her to anyone who asked me. I've already had many people tell me how great the pictures are! The photo album was super great too! There's honestly nothing I could say negatively about either one of our experiences with Brenda and can't thank her enough. She also sent me my favorite cookies from MI to SC as a surprise and they were amazing also. She might not do that for everyone but that's just saying how she went out of the way to make sure we were happy and taken care of. Me and my wife love Brenda and are so thankful I came across her! If you are smart you would contact her its absolutely worth it!!

    Amazing wedding photographer

    Brenda photographed our wedding in June 2021 and she was an incredible vendor to work with. She was so accommodating as we moved our wedding date and city due to covid and she was a trusted source on our wedding day. She made my husband and I feel so natural while taking photos and everything turned out incredible. The premiere appointment was amazing and it helped us relive our day. The photos she took far exceeded our expectations- they are stunning! On top of that, the heirloom album is truly incredible and will be something we cherish forever.

    Amazing Photographer

    Brenda is an amazing photographer! She did our engagement photos in Michigan. Then travelled to South Carolina to do our wedding photos. The photos are beautiful! She’s able to handle crazy family and go with the flow while also capturing the photos you want. She is fun to work with and I would highly recommend her to everyone.

    Brenda was so fantastic!! I can not say enough good things about my experience with her! My fiancé and I had an engagement session with Brenda, she met with us to get to know us as a couple that way she could fully capture us! My fiancé and I are a silly, laid back couple that is kind of awkward when it comes to pictures, but Brenda made it so fun for us and the photos are breathtaking! She is extremely talented! If you want a photographer that cares and captures your personality go with Brenda Hoffman!!

    Fantastic!

    Brenda was amazing! During our photos before, during, and after our ceremony, Brenda was flexible and kept everything running smoothly. She blends in well, so you won't even notice that she's taking photos! :) Also, Brenda kept us at ease and made us laugh the entire time. She has a great personality and will always keep you informed throughout the process. My husband and I look forward to seeing the final product. I definitely recommend hiring her. You wont regret it.

    Brenda is willing to do anything it takes to capture the moment!

    We are so thankful we had Brenda behind the camera on our wedding day! Who else would have been willing to travel from Michigan to Alabama during the summer heat and stand out in the pouring rain to capture our moments? Her photos are amazing and we've loved remembering the details of our day through her work. She captured so many sweet moment when we did not even realize she was taking pictures. Brenda is extremely reliable throughout the planning process and stays on schedule on wedding day. We never had to worry about a thing!

    I absolutely love her! Her fun quirky personality is everything we were looking for on our special day. Have not had our wedding yet, however our engagement photos are absolutely wonderful! We had financial issues and she did everything she could to help stay in our budget and get us exactly what we wanted! Totally recommend!

    Best investment for our wedding by far!

    Brenda Hoffman is amazing! She was extremely helpful in the planning process of the wedding, helping us plan the timelines and using her experience and expertise to help us make sure everything would run smoothly while also making sure it was still what we wanted. Our pictures look so stunning and the way she captured them we can remember exactly what was happening to recall specific moments. They're everything we hoped for and more. Treasured memories we will have forever.

    My experience personally and professionally has been always a wonderful experience working with Brenda Hoffman. As someone in the wedding industry I have also worked with many photographers and I would have to say that Brenda goes above and beyond to take her time to get to know the couple and create a relationship with them. You can see Brenda's love and passion for photography, sitting and talking with her you can tell she generally wants to capture this moment because she loves to.

    Brenda was amazing! She truly took time to get to know us before our photography session so she knew the style we were going for and to choose an appropriate location. She made the session fun and comfortable and was a trooper shooting us in the freezing snow. She came fully prepared and the result was beautiful! She is extremely easy to talk to and I would recomend her to any bride or anyone that is looking for beautiful photos! Very professional!

    Brenda is very experienced. She makes you feel as if she isn't even there in the best way possible. Your session will be all about you and she will turn your ideas into a vision. She gets personal by finding out about you and your significant other before she even begins taking pictures. You won't go wrong by choosing Brenda for engagement pictures!

    Where to begin with Brenda Hoffman. To say she is only a photographer is a gross understatement. She is so much more. After the months and months of work she did to help me prepare for the most perfect engagement one could ever hope to dream up, she captured every moment with the utmost of passion and excellence! She is now a friend, a confidant, a dreamweaver, but most importantly, she is just, Brenda! Compassionate, caring, detail oriented, focused, prompt, organized, efficient, talented are just a few of the adjectives that one could think to describe her and her work. She is an asset to the photography industry, to the City of Grand Haven, to the State of Michigan, and most importantly, to our lives. She is an ambassador of love. Brenda, thank you for being you and being so brilliant in your craft!

    Brenda was amazing! You can instantly tell how passionate she is for the work she does and how much joy it brings her to capture a bride and groom's memories. At our first meeting she took the time to get to know us and everything about our wedding. She presented herself as very professional, and very warm. I can't stress this point enough about how much she cared about being a part of such an important day in our life. For the big day, she was proactive about obtaining contact info for our other vendors to ensure everything would go smoothly during the wedding. She had great patience when organizing our large group for photos, but also knew when to move things along. Brenda was always looking out for our best interests the entire day! After the wedding we had an amazing session with Brenda at her office where we got to go through all the photos she had taken to pick out which ones we wanted to include in our album. We had such an amazing time with her throughout and couldn't be happier with the final product. Thanks again Brenda!

    Brenda is a perfect match for us! She took the ideas I had of my engagement and wedding photos & grew them into a story and vision beyond my imagination!! The professionalism she has extends through all she does while still connecting with us both on a personal level. There is no one else I'd want to spend my wedding day working so closely with!

    Timeless, priceless and perfect!!!

    My husband and I have been admiring and cherishing our engagement and wedding photos taken by Brenda for over 3 years now. Nothing has brought back as many forgotten memories, moments and happy tears from our wedding day as Brenda’s timeless photos have. She was able to capture so many heartfelt moments that would’ve otherwise been lost with time. Now those memories are priceless.
    We are not a very photogenic couple and tend to be awkward in front of the camera, but that didn’t show a single bit in our engagement or wedding photos. Brenda made us feel completely comfortable by creating a relaxed environment with the perfect amount of instruction. We were able to be ourselves which made the experience much more natural and organic. She was incredibly thoughtful, professional and made sure we had nothing to be concerned about on our wedding day! We absolutely love Brenda and would highly recommend her for all of your photography needs!!

    Book Brenda if you can!
    Brenda did our engagement session in two different locations with some challenging lighting situations and she handled them with ease. She has some very fun tricks she used to get us laughing and she caught so many amazing, natural-looking shots as a result. She does a great job of capturing the depth in the photo, and really makes you look good by making the photo pop.
    On top of that, she encouraged us and made us look forward to married life even more by telling us how much she enjoys her marriage.
    Brenda goes way above and beyond the call of duty. If you can book her, do it!

    Brenda was such a professional which is exactly what you want on your wedding day! We had considered asking a close friend with a nice camera and photoshop, but we realized that at the end of the day the only remaining thing you have after the big day is your photos and memories so why wouldn't you want it all documented the best way they possibly can?! Brenda was so helpful and accommodating especially that my husband was only in town for a few days after boot camp for the Airforce for engagement photos and we were so grateful for that.

    Brenda was everything I wanted and more in a photographer. She was funny, creative, easy to work with, and most of all, TALENTED. I was beyond blown away by the things she did behind the camera and without it; to us, she was much more than a photographer. One day I got the mail and we received a card from Brenda....and when I opened it, it had a gift card to Red Robin. She got us that to give us a break from all the hectic wedding planning on her! It was beyond sweet, and it was such a surprise. Her thoughtfulness and huge heart showed in her photography as well. She captured images I didn't even see happening...moments I experienced I will now get to see for the rest of my life...and she isn't afraid to get down in the dirt, wet grass, sand, rocks, or stand up on tall chairs, jump, etc. If it will get a good shot, she will do it. My wedding pictures were perfect...and I am so so so in love with everything she did. She is the PERFECT photographer, and I am SO thankful for her.

    Brenda is a wonderful photographer and my wife and I loved working with her throughout the process of our engagement and our wedding. She took lots of time to sit down and talk over what we would like and what she can do to make the day even better. Then when we ran out of ideas, she was there to help us imagine new shots. During the wedding and reception she got many many wonderful photos and we didn't even see her get to all those places to take the shots. Her professionalism was astounding as she worked to always keep in mind what she had talked to us about and how she could express our story in her photos.

    I cannot recommend Brenda more highly! Her excellence and professionalism make her a perfect wedding photographer. Our engagement session with her helped me and my fiancé become comfortable with the way she works. It's nice to know that pictures are something we won't have to worry about on our wedding day.
