    The best of the best!

    Heather was phenominal! She was so kind and energetic. We don't have our wedding photos back yet but our engagement photos are amazing. She is the best of the best.

    Highly highly recommend!!!

    I am so so thankful I chose Heather to photograph my wedding. She not only photographed beautiful photos, but also made it super fun! Our wedding party even made comments about how awesome she was with things like helping us pose in the most flattering ways. I keep looking back at all the photos and am obsessed!!! Thank you Heather for capturing the best day of our life!

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!

    Heather is an amazing photographer, and we were so lucky she was able to photograph our wedding day!! She knows how to get the best poses, she makes you feel so comfortable, and her pictures are timeless. Heather was actually our second photographer because we had to reschedule our wedding during Covid. We were nervous to have someone photograph our wedding that we hadn't met yet, but we had plenty of conversations on the phone and she made switching photographers so easy. We couldn't have been happier, and the photos from the day turned out better than we could've imagined. If you're still looking for a wedding photographer, Heather is your girl!!

    Heather Brulez Photography's reply:

    Thank you SO much, Meghan! It was such a pleasure and honor to capture your wedding day. You and David are an absolute JOY!

    The wedding day photographer you want to hire!

    We were very picky when hiring a wedding photographer as we know that the photos from the day are such a big part and what will help us hang onto the wedding day memories. As the MOB, I hadn't met Heather until the actual wedding day, but I knew when she first walked into the bridal suite that she was going to fit in perfectly with our family. She is the sweetest person that somehow also has the ability to take charge and can get people to do exactly what she needs in an efficient manner. Even after many hours of photos, etc... the bridal party was still singing her praises and happily smiling when prompted by her clever ques. At one point, I saw her army crawling across a brick floor to get the perfect shot and later soaked and shivering in the rain to capture a stunning moment that we will forever cherish. She obviously takes her work very seriously. While we loved spending our day with this fun, sweet and perky photographer, what has really blown us away are the pictures we have seen so far. She captured the day in a way that took us back to moments we didn't even know had happened and places I didn't remember her being. We would highly recommend Heather to capture your wedding memories. She is such a joy to work with and her work is beyond amazing!

    10/10 - Amazing Photographer!

    I could write a book about how amazing Heather is! I did an extensive search to find the perfect photographer for our wedding and I could not be more pleased we worked with Heather. Her photographs are timelines and she makes everyone look like a million bucks. I've received endless compliments since getting our full wedding album and friends looking at her Instagram. Both our parents could not be more thrilled with how she captured our day. Heather is so laid back and genuine. She made both my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the lens for both engagement and wedding photos. She ensures you'll have the best product and day possible. Spring was "late" for our engagement session and she recommended we push our pictures back a couple weeks to have the best back drop possible - can you believe it?! She was absolutely right! Our wedding day in December had some light rain, wind and cold temps. Something I think that could have been a challenge, but she made it seem like nothing. Thank you, Heather for your wonderful vision and work! I could not recommend her more to any bride (or groom) searching for their photographer!

    Heather and her creative team are absolutely amazing! They are professional, organized and know what they are doing. As a bride who had just moved to Kansas City, I was incredibly thankful to have Heather and her expertise involved with planning our big day! From our engagement session to the wedding, Carson and I were beyond pleased. The pictures turned out beautifully, and our friends and family keep commenting on how great they are. Heather Brulez Photography was by far the best wedding investment I made.

    Thank you, Heather! You truly make every bride feel special and loved. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. We are incredibly thankful!

    Heather was the perfect fit for our engagement photos and wedding day! She helps everyone stay relaxed and gets amazing pictures! She gives helpful direction but allows you to be yourself so the pictures don't look too posed! My shy husband felt so comfortable the whole time! You will be amazed at your photos and I'm so glad we chose her for our special day!

    The photographer was my top vendor for our wedding day and I wanted the BEST. That's exactly what Heather is. The photographs we have from our wedding are phenomenal. I have had multiple people RAVE over them and already have Heather in mind to to shoot their own wedding. She was so easy to work with and helped plan and pose the photos to perfection, while still capturing the natural moments. Communicating with her was very easy and she was always very quick to respond to all my questions, even texting on her personal phone. I have had the photos reposted by other vendors on multiple platforms because they are that good. Looking forward to enjoying our photos for years to come!

    I chose Heather for our wedding without ever meeting her. We were planning the wedding from the East Coast, and I knew that great photography was one of the highest priorities for me. I read through a ton of reviews like these and was honestly just amazed by how highly recommended she came. After poring through SO many online galleries, I narrowed the list of potential photographers down, and gave them a call. Heather and I immediately connected on the phone due to her kind and genuine personality, and I knew we had found a winner. Her photos are stunning, and I was so happy to include her fun personality into our big day! She was as great as I expected and more. My husband (a Marine) does NOT like taking photos, but even he was great with Heather, and the pictures turned out stunningly! I have received so many compliments on the photography from family, friends, and even acquaintances. Her pictures of our wedding day were an investment we would make again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Heather and Morgan, for giving us amazing photos to look back on the rest of our lives!

    Absolutely LOVED her!!

    My husband and I got married in December and even though we froze our tails off while taking pictures, we still had so much fun with Heather. She has an amazing talent of making you feel comfortable around her and capturing you as yourselves without making you look staged for posed. We would both recommend her to any of our friends/family in the future!

    Heather was an absolute dream to work with. Her passion, professionalism and creativity is much appreciated. During our engagement session, we became comfortable behind her camera - we even jumped out of our comfort zones for a few adventurous and candid shots. And on our wedding day we just lived in the moment and soaked in every minute, leaving all the work in Heather and Leigh's capable hands.

    Heather is so talented and her passion for photography is reflected in her work.
    She captured our day absolutely perfectly and gave us the gift of reliving our special day again and again.

    Thank you Heather!

    Heather is such a pro! She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. What we loved the most about Heather was how creative and adventurous she was! She took awesome pictures with us all over our wedding venue and we could not be more pleased with the results. If you're looking for someone who will take incredible photographs and keep you calm throughout the process, then call Heather :)

    Heather was the first vendor we booked for our July wedding--we knew just by looking at her online gallery that we had to have her. She was an absolute dream to work with from the very start. She was flexible, professional, and an energetic, yet calming presence on our wedding day. I knew I had nothing to worry about with her around. She shuffled family members around with ease and worked incredibly well with our other vendors. And to top it all off, we have the most beautiful engagement and wedding photos to cherish for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to have booked Heather and happily recommend her to everyone we know. Thank you Heather!

    Two words to describe Heather Brulez Photography: trustworthy & perfect. Heather is an absolutely amazing photographer. Our wedding photos are beautiful- not only do we love them but we have received so many compliments! Heather is really easy to work with and responds very quickly via email or phone. I did not have specific locations I wanted to take our engagement or wedding photos at- all I told Heather was “I want pretty & classic”. She came up with locations on her own and all of the photos turned out exactly how I imagined. Accessing your online gallery is super easy. She has different packages to choose from. My friends who used other photographers for their weddings said I would be waiting at least 2 months before I saw any of our wedding photos. We got a sneak peek the week after the wedding and the rest were done on our 1 month anniversary. I highly recommend Heather to all you future brides out there! Your wedding photos are so important & with Heather you will not be disappointed.

    Heather is phenomenal! Looking at our wedding pictures that she captured was truly like reliving our day...the photos are so beautiful and captured so many details of the day, our personalities and our love. We felt so relaxed with Heather (admittedly, I am not fond of being in front of a camera), she did a fantastic job of directing us and the wedding party without being overwhelming. She captured so many details that I would have never thought of. I am so pleased with the way the day went and the way the pictures turned out. Everyone has commented on how beautiful the photos are. I couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and fun photographer.

    Heather was a beyond AMAZING!! She was beyond supportive throughout our entire wedding day and was always extremely responsive to any questions that may have come up. She knows the perfect lighting and she knows how to make you look your absolute best!! I can not say enough about how she worked with our crazy schedule due to the bride (me) taking longer than expected to get ready on our wedding day. Heather knows how to personalize your photographs just for you and that speaks volumes. Thank you will never be enough for capturing our wonderful/chaotic day!!!

    I literally could never write enough positive things about Heather Brulez! She is a PHENOMENAL photographer and has the heart of an angel. She provided me with wonderful engagements photos, and I am BEYOND excited to see my wedding photos once she is finished with them! Not only did Heather exude professionalism, she was very personable and made my husband and I feel confident in ourselves. This allowed us to have gorgeous photographs that we will treasure for a lifetime. I look forward to working with Heather in the future for newborn/family photo sessions. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Heather. She has multiple wedding photography packages available to fit different budgets, and she was very willing to work with us to make our budget work for her. Again, Heather is an outstanding photographer, and I cannot thank her enough for her work. She is a true star.

    Heather Rocks!! Our pictures turned out so beautiful. My husband does not like his smile so he made it a little difficult on Heather, but all the pictures turned out beautiful. She made everyone feel so comfortable and laid back. She was so flexible at the end of the night to make sure that I got all the photos I wanted. I couldn't have been happier with my choice of photographer!

    Shutter Happy Studios most defiantly earned our highest praises. We had an engagement session as well as our day of pictures with Heather and she was outstanding every step of the way! From our first meeting she was very professional, yet still fun.
    Her experience was evident as she easily took charge and arranged even the large group photos easily. She provided the mix of traditional and candid photos we were looking for and the results look great.
    We have gotten several compliments on not only the photos but her professionalism and fun that she brought to the ceremony and reception.

    I highly recommend Shutter Happy Studios to any bride-to-be, or for anyone looking for an excellent photographer for any occassion. Heather (the photographer), is very personable and knowlegeable. Upon our initial meeting with her she explained to us how she generally likes to photographer, she asked for our input and she was beyond professional. She was able to suggest spots for us to take photos after the ceremony that I wouldn't have even thought about. She was able to take photographs during our ceremony without us even realizing it. Her attention to detail is amazing and I cannot believe how fantastic the pictures are! She definitely has customers for life with my husband and I.

    Heather is an amazing photojournalistic photographer! I would highly recommend her to anyone. Such a great value for what you get... a CD with all of your wedding photos (all 800 of them!) and full released rights so that you can do what you want with them on your own.

    Great moments were captured throughout the day... she never complained (8 hours of service) and all the guests loved her!

    After poring through dozens of wedding photographers' websites from Manhattan to Kansas City, Heather was our top choice because her photographs are classic, high quality, focused on the couple, and show great taste; her packages all included a second photographer, which we felt was important; and we felt her pricing was reasonable for her high level of quality. We were thrilled when Heather was available on our date, and she did not disappoint! We are very happy with both our engagement and wedding photos. She was able to work with our awkwardness in front of the camera to give us some great couple shots, in addition to wrangling our large wedding party with ease. She was respectful and unobtrusive during the ceremony, was very helpful and experienced in coordinating our first look and wedding party photos, and got lots of great shots of guests at the reception. We would happily recommend Heather to anyone.
