Testimonial…
Brett was amazing from start to finish. He took the time to meet with us in the early planning phases. He helped plan ahead for the lighting for the venue to make sure the photos came out perfect. He was early to scope everything out for our big day. He was flexible and went out of his way to make sure that we got every photo that we wanted. During the ceremony, he was so stealthy that neither of us, nor our guests, even remember him shooting photos! He was so pleasant to work with. Brett has an obvious passion for his work as a photographer and made the experience such a joy. He has an excellent eye for a gorgeous setting and perfect photo. Our photos came back so quickly as well! We couldn't be more pleased with our wedding photos. We absolutely love them. THANK YOU, BRETT!

Testimonial…
"Brett was absolutely wonderful! When we first starting planning our wedding, my husband's friend was going to take pictures for us. He was a previous photographer and had all the equipment he said he needed. Fast forward to a little over a month before our wedding and he tells us that he can no longer photograph our wedding due to personal issues. Way to stress me out! We had spent our budget and all the wedding photographers we contacted were either booked already or way out of our budget since I had not initially included the cost of a photographer.
After a brief search for "Wedding Photographer," Brett's ad popped up. I instantly loved the pictures featured on his website and immediately contacted him via text message. He got back to me within 2 hours, a miracle in itself when compared to the other wedding photographers I tried to contact. He was available to meet with me pretty much that very same weekend. We met him, liked his attitude and booked him.
At our wedding, he arrived early to scope out the place and look for various places to take pictures and got pictures of all the tablescapes and decorations. He was great with dealing with our guests and our temperamental flower girls since one of them wasn't feeling good; he never got frustrated with her nor us and just went with the flow. After all our formal pictures were taken we asked him to go around and see if any of the guests wanted individual pictures and he did! All of our guests who took advantage of that already told us they want those pictures and they plan to print them out and display them.
Our wedding was on Saturday the 8th and we received our pictures the following Tuesday the 11th. That is absolutely amazing turn around and the pictures came out even better than expected. There were tons of formal and candid pictures which we absolutely love and the quality is breathtaking. We would hire Brett again in a heartbeat and we have told all our friends about him. Hire him for your photography needs, you will not be disappointed!!!" - Amanda & Justin
