Experience

Twelve years as a professional wedding photographer has allowed me to perfect the unique experience I give to my clients.

"I couldn't have asked for a better photographer..."

Brandi was on time, understood exactly what we wanted, and was relentless making sure it happened our way. Even my husband who loathes taking pictures, couldn't stop raving about how fun and at ease the whole process was.

i create magic.

When it comes to your big day, I will be three steps ahead of you at all times. I give guidance, help keep you on time, always with your timeline in mind, (I'll even help you build your timeline!) I'll help you feel at ease and make the posing process very easy and fun. I'll wrangle the family for family photos and capture all the in between moments!

I have cried with my brides, held their dresses up while they pee, and applied their lip gloss. I have stood (and fell) in lakes and rivers just to get the best shot. I have frantically wiped tears out of my eyes in order to capture the most touching moments for my clients.

If you can't tell by now, I take my job very seriously and I absolutely adore every minute of it. I've been doing this for twelve years and my client experience has continued to improve over that time, becoming something that I'm very proud of today. I'm greatly looking forward to capturing yours! Reach out to schedule a meeting or phone chat to start the process! :)

"Brandi was absolutely amazing!!."

She was not only an amazing photographer but she also helped me and my girls stay on time to make sure we were exactly where we needed to be, when we needed to be there! I swear if it wasn't for Brandi we would have never made it to the wedding!

HOW IT WORKS

my PROCESS

initial meeting

After you reach out, we'll schedule a sit-down or a phone chat and talk about what package suits you best. I get to know more about the two of you and your story (I LOVE this part), and you learn more about me, my business and what to expect.

booking

Once we've figured out which package best suits you, I'll type up your contract, you'll sign and send it back over. Next you'll send the retainer, and that's it— you're booked, easy peasy!

PLANNING

Next, we'll get your bridal or engagement session on the books. We'll chat about your wedding timeline, which I'll even help you build! My clients love that I'm able to offer a lot of assistance in this department!

ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Engagement sessions with me are fun, easy-going and full of laughs and love! I hear so often from my clients that these sessions turned out to be so fun, like hanging with a friend, rather than intimidating or awkward like they initially expected. I like to know your fears, I like to know your likes and dislikes! This is all about you, I want your experience to be amazing!

YOUR WEDDING

On your wedding day, all you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself, we'll have already talked about your timeline, your family shot list and all of the things, prior to! I'll be there to guide you and capture every amazing moment along the way! You can then expect final delivery of your gallery within 3-6 weeks after your wedding day, depending on which package you select.

"I didn't have to worry about anything that day, which was so nice as the bride!"

"Brandi was awesome to work with as our wedding photographer! I really loved her style and vibe we felt from her before booking. Brandi also created a wedding timeline that helped us know when things/people needed to be ready in order to help us make sure everything could be photographed smoothly without anything being overlooked! Our wedding pictures are truly beautiful and will be cherished for years to come!"
