Be Photographed is a photography company in Utica, MI, specializing in weddings and other events. Telling your love story through the lens of my camera is my passion. I aim to make this day unique and fun and capture your big moments well beyond your expectations. From candid, joyful moments to traditional portraits, I aim to leave couples with an authentic portrayal of their big day, save-the-date, or proposals. The entire process will feel like a breeze, ensuring you can enjoy your day with the added bonus of a digital wedding album to look over throughout the years. Be Photographed offers many packages to capture what matters the most in a convenient price range. Through consultations, these packages can be tailored to your exact liking to ensure that no fine detail is overlooked. My most comprehensive includes a complimentary engagement session, full-day wedding coverage, 400+ edited photos, a high-resolution printed canvas, a flash drive of all images, and more. An engagement session is a creative process through which I, your photographer, can understand your expectations as a couple. Furthermore, on your wedding day, I can be accompanied by an additional photographer. This ensures that even the moments that pass quickly are frozen in time.

Brooke did such an amazing job! She was on time, super friendly, attentive, and fun. I hate having pictures of myself taken, but I would let Brooke take my picture any day! She was able to accommodate my edit requests and pictures were returned to me in a timely fashion. We would definitely work with her again. Thanks Brooke!

Brooke was literally perfect! I wanted a mixture of posed and documentary style photographs and couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day photographer! I got everything I wanted and more. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. Every person who has seen the photos has asked where I found her! Hoping to see her again at my friend’s weddings.

The wedding went smooth. Brooke was okay following our party bus to multiple locations for photos. She wasn't afraid to get everyone's attention to get them together. Family photos after the ceremony and bridal photos around town. She even stayed an extra hour to make sure she got more live photos of us interacting with each other and our family

Brooke was super energetic and bubbly. I loved having her on my side during getting ready. We opted for golden hour photos instead of during the bridal/family hour. I HIGHLY recommend because it meant we could eat and say hi to a lot of people! Plus it helped us reset our brains for more posing and prompts.

How do I even begin? Brooke, someone I met at SVSU and through work, gave me and my family and friends the photos we will always cherish. I met with Brooke with my now husband, Seth, and knew we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. She was very professional, did her research, and was able to accommodate and capture the moments we wanted! Brooke communicated well with us since day one through text, email, and Zoom calls. For the wedding day, she knew just what to do and I felt as ease (because of all the hard work she did beforehand)! She dressed professionally and fit for the occasion. Also, kudos to her helping me get dressed, haha! That was a free bonus, I suppose! I am happy to support someone I once worked with and get to see grow more each year in her photography career. Thank you, again, Brooke for all you did for us! All our love and gratitude, Seth & Audrey Bearden
