I highly recommend Brandon and couldn't be happier with his attention to detail, friendly attitude and exceptional customer service. Most importantly our photos turned out amazing. We hired Brandon for a family reunion shoot and he worked with us every step of the way. Â The photos speak for themselves and our whole family couldn't be happier. Even my grumpy uncle who is impossible to please was happy with the results! More...

This review is waaay over due! Brandon is Fantastic, very professional and comfortable to work with. Both my (now) husband and I were very uncomfortable in front of the camera for our engagement shoot, but with his guidance he soon squashed that and we were laughing, joking and having fun! I recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer.Also his editing is perfection! If I saw something in the photo (personal pet-peve or flaw that would bug me) he would just get rid of it! Like that second chin was never there!! More...

Brandon took incredible photos for our wedding of the groom and co. getting ready before our wedding. Our day of photographer was busy catching the ladies prep, and Brandon stepped in to assist in the most meaningful way ever. He was willing to work with us for the shorter engagement, but put just as much effort into taking artful shots as if he jad been shooting our whole day. He will take the time to get to know you, and captures the biggest moments of your life effortlessly, honestly, and beautifully. More...

Why should our clients choose you?
The things I value most are the things I think everyone values most in a relationship: honesty, authenticity, creativity, timeliness, and great results. In addition to that, I'd like to think that I'm down to earth and prefer relate to my clients more as friends than as customers.
