    A photographer to me (the bride) was one of the most important elements when planning our wedding. I knew right away from viewing a few of their photographs online that Brightwood Photography was exactly what I was looking for-natural light, candid’s, and a creative artistic eye. Being a destination wedding in S. California we couldn't physically meet, however Greg was flexible with meeting us via skype, corresponding promptly via email, and phone calls when need be. Greg has this insane calm and personable presence about him that would put any person especially bride and groom at ease! Greg instantly felt like a friend to us. We let Brightwood Photography take the reins for the photographs and creative direction and we were NOT disappointed. We have the most beautiful photos to look back on from our special day! We are so glad and grateful to have Brightwood Photography capture our wedding story. You guys are AWESOME!

    My husband and I found Brightwood Photography through mutual friends and couldn't have been more pleased with how our wedding photos turned out. Greg and his team were professional, a pleasure to work with, and exceeded our expectations with the unique, high-quality shots they were able to capture. We highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for an effortless experience that results in amazing photography—our beautiful photos will be cherished for many years to come. Thank you Greg and Brightwood Photography!

    My husband and I were very pleased with Brightwood Photography's service! They took the time to get to know us and the style of wedding we were planning, which allowed them to capture each moment with our personalities in mind. They tailored their service to capture our day in a professional and unique way. I was very pleased with their timely nature and the quality of equipment used. They were also very quick to deliver the photos to us via the internet which allowed us to share easily with those individuals from out of state. I would without a doubt recommend Brightwood Photography because they strive to deliver a high quality service and product at a very reasonable price! You want a photographer that cost a arm, but it was nice to keep my leg.

    We couldn't have better things to say about working with Brightwood. They were extremely professional and a breeze to deal with on our big day (and so accommodating being that they had to travel 6+ hrs for our event) . All of our guests continue to comment on how fun they were and it really shows in the pictures.

    It is very obvious that these guys love what they do, and it is reflected in their mannerisms and photography. Between our engagement and wedding photos we have so many favorite shots. The turn-around on the pictures, the quality, and service exceeded all our expectations. Brightwood is a wonderful photography service and we would recommend them to everyone.

    Brightwood Photography was awesome to work with! They are fun and easy going guys which really helped to relieve the stress the day of. They also worked great with our videographers and were respectful not to get in each other's shots. They were very professional and truly listen to their clients wishes and let us do our own thing and whatever poses we wanted to do or spots we wanted to take pictures and were good sports and followed us everywhere. My husband and I are very detailed oriented and have very high expectations of perfection and Brightwood Photography definitely did not disappoint! We were very happy with all our photos and received them all back about a month after our wedding. I would also highly recommend using them to create a wedding album because their books are amazing and very high quality. :)

    I have gotten so many compliments on my wedding and engagement pictures and I owe it all to Brightwood! They are not only professional but are fun to work with and work well with other vendors (such as videographers). They have a unique eye for what will turn an ordinary picture into something extraordinary.

    Greg was such a fun, professional and talented vendor to work with. We loved his candid style and the way he was able to capture the raw emotions of the day. Everyone who we showed our pictures to has commented on the way the pictures gave them all the feels from the day again - looking at them is truly like reliving our wedding day! He was truly unique to our other vendors in that he was very conversational and friend-like which we really loved. It was nice having a vendor who on a very intimate and special day, we felt we really knew. He was so flexible and went above and beyond in every aspect. I loved that he didn't have hourly coverage but rather just let you book the whole day and showed up when we wanted him and didn't leave until it was over. We used him for our engagement shoot and our wedding photos and man are they gorgeous. My husband and I don't like very corny or over-posed things so if you're looking for someone who's into using props or staging super cutesy things - Greg's not for you. If you love the outdoors, love natural beauty, and want someone who will capture the natural moments of the day in a beautiful way - Greg's your guy! My only teeny-tiny critique is that he didn't set up group photos quite enough. Don't get me wrong, we still like them all, but there is some awkward height situations or some extra space between some grandparents and aunts and uncles - like I said, small things in comparison to everything else turning out so so good and might I add, for such a reasonable price. Overall - SO happy we had Greg as our photographer.

    I found Brightwood through a blog online, when I was looking for photos of weddings at my venue, the Temecula Creek Inn. I think they are extremely reasonably priced, especially for how talented they are. When I first met with them, I was shocked to see how young they were, but their portfolio was fantastic, so I just tried to not let that bother me. They showed up on time, and were very professional all day. Our photographers were Tim and Greg, and they were both great. Two days after the wedding, they sent a few preview photos, and I can already say I am 110% thrilled with them. Also, another great thing is that they said turn around time for ALL of our photos would only be about 4-6 weeks. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married in Southern California
