    Brandon photographed our wedding, and we couldn't be happier.

    He is easy to work with and incredibly talented. He cares about his work, and it shows in both the customer experience and the end product. We felt like Brandon cared about making sure that we had beautiful, timeless photos of one of the most important days of our lives above all else.

    Sharon + Andres

    Brandon photographed our engagement. He's so down to earth that he made the photoshoot process so fun, comfortable and easy! He let us do our thing and let our personalities shine through, but he also provided his professional input and guidance on how to pose.

    100% recommended and we will definitely love to have him photograph our next life milestone.

  • Ewelina + John

    Brandon did an exceptional job! He really helped us create our vision for our wedding and even the engagement photo shoot was superb, we filmed out in the Glamis Sand Dunes and it made them one of a kind!

    Very communicative and helpful, we would certainly recommend him to a friend!

    He is very talented and we highly recommend!
