About me

Attention to the details.

Not because I like selfies but because I enjoy what it says about our relationship. I don’t simply want to get paid to take photos of your wedding day: in telling your story, I want to be a part of it. One of the joys of being a wedding photographer is knowing the photos I take will be a part of your lives forever.

Captured by stories

Given such responsibility, my goals are clear: capture your story beautifully, from the kiss that makes it official to the little moments only you two know. You should experience the joy of your wedding day every time you glance at your photos.

A photojournalistic approach

I began taking photos in college simply as a way of remembering for myself. Before a semester “abroad” in Yosemite, I bought a camera for the sole purpose of remembering its people and places. As a journalism major who eventually went on to get a Masters in Theology, I was already curious, and photography quickly became an expression of my curiosity with people and the world. My camera became almost another limb, carrying it with me to South Africa, Europe, and the east coast over the last decade while collecting landscape, portrait, and journalistic photos along the way, much like someone might collect and treasure rocks or cards.

"We had a great experience with Brandon! He was timely, professional, super laid back, and easy to reach for questions. He made everyone feel comfortable, and he took photos we will truly cherish forever."

Laura & Drew

"Brandon was lovely as always. Personable, thoughtful, encouraging, and discrete. He worked with us on what we wanted, and also just really was able to find lovely unexpected moments to capture. His pictures reflected us as people, us as a couple, and the spirit and feel of the day."

Hannah & Pat

"Our experience was wonderful! Brandon did both our engagement photos and wedding photos. He is so calm and friendly. He immediately put us at ease and we felt comfortable to be ourselves and let him capture the moments. He made sure to incorporate all the looks and special details of our relationship and our wedding."

Melissa & Ryan

"We loved working with Brandon. He helped us think ahead of time about what we wanted and then he made sure it happened. He was flexible, kind, attentive, and also kept to the schedule we needed to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and we didn’t have to worry about it. He got us our photos back in a reasonable time frame and we loved every single one of them."

Your photos should help you remember well.

Now residing in Los Angeles, I’ve honed in on authenticity and detail with a timeless, analog aesthetic for my photography work. As a four-wing-five on the enneagram, thoughtfulness and authenticity are my bread and butter, anything else simply does not sit well with me.
