Bruno and his wife are some of the best photographers in the business. I could not list one negative with the whole experience utilizing them for our wedding. If you want the premium quality without breaking your bank account, Bruno is your guy.
I legit cannot recommend Beauty & Life: Captured! enough. Above and beyond commitment and flawless capture of probably the most consequential times in my life.
Bruno, you are the man!!

I knew a couple of people who worked with Bruno for their weddings and I’m so glad I chose him. I can’t say enough good things about Bruno and his team. The photos I got back from my wedding are amazing and he truly captured every great/important moment from the entire day. I’m not one to be super comfortable on camera, but with their guidance, I felt so natural and comfortable being photographed which was a huge bonus. (This is also due to his style
Of photography too, where you don’t feel like you’re just standing there regular smiling at the camera 1000 times over) If you’re looking for a photographer, I highly recommend.

We can't say enough positive things about Bruno. He handled everything flawlessly. Of course, the photos were the highlight, and they turned out absolutely breathtaking. But Bruno also excelled in managing all the finer details. He kept us on schedule and organized our wedding party just the way we envisioned. Bruno was fantastic at guiding us with poses and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is something we both tend to struggle with. He showed us how to pose effectively and ensured that the rest of the wedding party looked great as well. This significantly enhanced the quality of our photos. Additionally, he was prompt in delivering everything back to us. Bruno and his team are amazing photographers

Bruno and his team were absolutely amazing to work with for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day! Bruno's passion for what he does shines through in every interaction, and he has delivered everything he promises and more! My husband, guests, and I are just so impressed with your expertise, professionalism, and passion for your craft. On our wedding day, he made sure everyone was comfortable, and was all over the place without being in the way of anyone or anything. I cannot wait to receive my wedding gallery because I know he and his team captured the most amazing shots of my most perfect day! Thank you Bruno and team, I couldn't have imagined working with a better photographer for one of my most special days!!

Bruno and his wife, Maira, make a great team and were an absolute pleasure to work with during our engagement shoot and wedding day. They made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole process and gave some helpful tips on how to pose. We appreciated their sense of humor and friendliness. Bruno especially understands lighting, positioning, color and all things that create stunning photos. We could immediately tell how much he loves his job by how passionate he was. The turnaround time for photos was faster than expected and we are thrilled with the results!

I cannot say enough good things about Bruno and his lovely wife! They truly exceeded my expectations, both with their gorgeous photos and professionalism. They were easy to work with, professional and kind (Bruno even helped my fiancé with his boutonniere), they captured our day so perfectly. My one request before my wedding was that they try to get photos of our children, which I knew would be a challenge because they are unpredictable at 4 and 1 years old. Not only did they capture beautiful photos of the kids, but our entire family. They really understood that family was central to our day, and that shines through our wedding photos. They also captured the most artistic and wonderful photos of the venue and decor itself, which I was so grateful for, as these help tell the story of our day.
If you are looking for a photographer please consider reaching out- they are amazing!

Bruno's photographs speak for themselves. Hiring the right photographer is an important and difficult decision - you need someone who understands your comfort level, your vision, and who will contribute to your overall wedding day vibe! I am so grateful we will have so many incredible, romantic, and flattering photos from our wedding, and would recommend Bruno for your engagement session & wedding day needs!!

Bruno first caught our eye because of his artistic, breathtaking photos on instagram. From the moment we booked him to now, he has been amazing to work with. What we enjoyed the most was the passion that pours out of Bruno as he works with you to find the best photos. He was happy, made us feel comfortable, and loved talking about how much he loved his job. He knows the right lighting, poses, and backdrops for any style of photo and spends time learning what types of photos you want. After the wedding, he edits every photo himself to ensure they are perfect.

Bruno and Maira are the dynamic duo! I had the pleasure of working with them not once but three times over the last 2 years (engagement, boudoir and wedding) and they exceeded my expectations for all 3. We just received our wedding photos and they are absolutely gorgeous. The attention to detail is incredible. They were so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable from the very first meeting. They are very professional but also have a great sense of humor. We had an absolute blast with them. I can't recommend them enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Beauty & Life Captured capture the magic of our wedding day, and their work was nothing short of extraordinary. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos, Bruna showcased unparalleled professionalism and talent. His ability to seamlessly blend into the background while still capturing every meaningful moment was truly remarkable. The photographs themselves are a testament to their artistry—each image is a masterpiece, perfectly composed and infused with the genuine emotions of the day. Bruno not only met but exceeded our expectations, providing us with a timeless collection of memories that we will forever cherish. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who combines skill, creativity, and a keen eye for detail, look no further than Bruno. They are, without a doubt, a five-star artist capturing love in every frame.

Bruno & co. have a strong aesthetic which drew us to his portfolio to begin with. There is nothing “generic” about his pictures. He clearly knows what works and directs the photography in a way that is clear and direct but also warm. It’s also great to have full access to the photos, which are already edited, forever digitally with no limitations. We are thrilled with the quality of our photos and look forward to sharing them with generations to come.

Bruno and his wife photographed my wedding back in April and I could not share enough good things about both his vision and talent when shooting. He was able to direct us in a way where we felt fully comfortable and able to be ourselves…..it truly showed in the final gallery. He was able to capture our love and silliness together in the most beautiful way and I constantly find myself looking back to our photos able to relive the day all over again. I could not be happier with our wedding photos to the point where my husband and I have already talked about booking Bruno again when we decide to grow our family!

I couldn’t recommend Bruno highly enough. He was the first vendor I reached out to once we had booked our venue. I had worked with him in the past (as he shot my best friend’s wedding) so I knew first hand how incredible his photos were. He arrived close to an hour early, explaining that he wanted to make sure he didn’t hit traffic/wanted to get there before the rain came. Despite the weather he managed to get some of the most beautiful shots & we are forever grateful. He is a joy to work with, highly professional and beyond talented. Thank you Bruno!!

Working with Bruno and Maira felt like working with longtime friends. Never having had professional photos taken, let alone video, made us a little anxious but they made it something comfortable and fun. It didn’t take long for us to realize that they truly cared about our love story - wanting to learn about it in an effort to accurately capture and represent our unity. The care and effort that Bruno and Maira displayed was more than we could have ever asked for. They take great pride in providing a quality product that you can be proud of for the rest of your lives - something that you can’t wait to share with everyone you know. Our photos came out exactly like what we had imagined they would, and we would recommend Beauty & Life Captured to anyone looking for a photographer - not only for a wedding, but for any photographing needs. We know where we will be going for any of our future photo needs and can’t wait to work with the two of them again! We wish they could follow us around every day to capture our lives together. Thank you again, Bruno and Maira! Your talent is unmatched.

I recently had the pleasure of working with a Bruno for my wedding, and I cannot express how delighted I am with the results. Their talent and creativity truly shone through in every photo they captured. From candid moments to formal portraits, every shot was beautifully composed and expertly edited. Not only were they incredibly skilled behind the lens, but they also had a keen eye for capturing the essence of our special day. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, making us feel at ease and allowing us to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest. I am beyond grateful for the amazing work they did, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a talented and dedicated photographer for their wedding or any other special occasion. Thank you for preserving our memories so beautifully!

Bruno and his wife were phenomenal from the very beginning with our engagements photos, and their professionalism and creativity continued at our wedding. They maximized the venues that we chose and utilized so many different locations and backgrounds and poses so that we had an incredible number of unique and varied photos.
The action photos they took were just as impressive as the stage photos. They were able to capture the moments of joy and laughter and love that occurred throughout the wedding and reception, and we liked these photos so much that we included tons of them in the thank you cards we sent out to our guests.
They were such a joy to work with and made the whole process easy for us. It was our first time ever utilizing professional photographers, but their direction and encouragement made it fun and memorable. We will definitely utilize them in the future for whatever special moments we want captured.

He made me feel comfortable and calm that everything would go smoothly. He was very confident with his work and truly showed in all the shots! Bruno and his team arrived early and were so sweet and made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They captured everything during our wedding! The entire gallery is stunning. He has a great balance of artistic shots that we LOVE and traditional portraits. Amazing experience overall! I can’t say enough great things. We can’t wait for the next time we get to work with Bruno!!!

Bruno and Maira have felt like part of our family since 2019 when they first photographed my brother’s wedding. We instantly felt in love with their work and the whole experience of working with them. So much so we knew we had to book them for our wedding right when we got engaged. They were a blast to work with and did not skip a beat the day of the wedding. They worked phenomenally with all of our other vendors and us. We could not have imagined anyone else.

I have had my eye on Bruno's work for about 10 years and when I got engaged he was the first vendor I booked. He has an editorial style that makes your photos look like they belong in a magazine! His work speaks for itself. He was pricier than other photographers, but you get what you pay for. The budget for our wedding photos was a priority for me personally, as we will have them forever.
He gives great direction and has prompts that really make the photos turn out great. He was easy to work with and gave helpful direction in the initial phone calls to plan our timeline. I had a few requested shots that he managed to capture, along with so many great "in the moment" pictures.
Everyone was raving how amazing our photos turned out. Check out his Instagram, Facebook, and website and book him before someone else gets him on your date!

Bruno and Maira went above and beyond for our wedding in May 2023. When our rain plan fell through the week before, Bruno helped find an alternative first look location. They arrived early the day of, anticipating schedule changes/delays due to the rain, and kept everything moving while maximizing every opportunity for photos. When our last minute first look location had a museum exhibit set up in the ballroom, Bruno worked magic with the lighting and angles to take stunning photos while avoiding all the plastic tables and signs. Every stray hair, skirt wrinkle, and unbuttoned coat was called out and fixed. They worked nonstop during our reception and were everywhere at once. Not only are their photos amazing, but they were fun, easygoing, and a joy to spend time with on our wedding day. We can't recommend Bruno enough!

Bruno as his Team were absolutely amazing from Beginning to End. Their personality and professionalism was top notch. As a Photographer myself I knew from our choice of venue that we needed someone who was skilled in flash photography. But their Creativity and familiarity with locations, keen attention to detail and posing, and being everywhere at once really added to their value. Photography was the last thing on my mind for that day, because I knew it was being covered. Truly went above and beyond in what I expected and would highly recommend them!

I don’t even know where to begin! I knew from day one of seeing Bruno’s work that he was the photographer for us. We hired him for both our engagement shoot and wedding photos and we're so thrilled with how everything came out! He has such a great eye and captured so much emotion in every photo. In fact, we didn’t even hire a videographer because he literally got every little moment. He and his wife were amazing to work with. They're so down to earth and made us awkward/camera shy people feel so comfortable. We are getting endless complements from others that our photos are some of the best they’ve ever seen. He’s a true artist. Highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again in a heartbeat!

The photos are absolutely gorgeous! We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. This team truly captured the beauty, love and our new beginning so perfectly.. they certainly live up to their name! I would highly recommend them for any event.

It was such a pleasure working with Bruno and Maira for our wedding in October. The setup was a breeze. Since we were out of state, we had a few phone calls to discuss his photography style, what we were looking for, what package we wanted, and a list of must-have shots. On the day of the wedding, we felt totally taken care of. Bruno and Maira arrived early to collect shots of the venue and the grounds. Then we did a series of shots with just me and my spouse. I love the way Bruno handled this part - I felt like a movie star with how he was guiding us through different poses. He made us feel totally at ease and confident. During the ceremony and reception, Bruno struck the perfect balance of staged and candid photos. He had a great sense for when friends or family wanted to pose and then receded into the background to get the candid shots. A few weeks after the event we received our photos and I was blown away. I loved the variety of the shots in our package. Some looked very dramatic like stills from a movie. Others captured the sheer joy of our guests like our flower girls giggling to each other as they walked down the aisle or friends having a moment. I could not be happier with our experience with Bruno. What he gave us is something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

Not only did he capture the beauty of the love between our children, he captured the heartwarming spirit of their engagement and their wedding day and evening, accentuating all the positives and unobtrusively! His expertise in staging and using the venue to its ultimate, we will enjoy these photos and remember this glorious time evermore vividly with Bruno’s photos. Perfection, Bruno!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of knowing Bruno and his wife for a few years now, as he’s photographed for some of our friends and family. When we got engaged, for us, having him photograph our engagement session and wedding was a non-negotiable vendor! We love all of his work, but our wedding photos completely blew us away. He has an incredible eye, and is so professional and passionate about what he does. He kept our day running so smoothly, and we never had to worry about a thing. The only problem that we now have is choosing between all of our amazing photos (which isn’t a bad problem to have)! - they are perfection and absolutely breathtaking. We had a 16 person wedding party and had two toddlers in our wedding, and even in our group photos, everyone looks flawless. Do yourself a favor and plan your wedding date around his availability, you will not regret it!

When planning a wedding, one of the most important things is being organized. Bruno is structured, efficient, and truly amazing in his ability to capture the most beautiful moments. I first met Bruno when he shot my now sister-in-laws wedding and was blown away. We immediately hired Bruno and his amazing partner to shoot our special day. To say we're impressed is an understatement. 2 months after our wedding we received the photos and were able to relive the day. Bottom line- he's worth it and will not disappoint. Cheers!

They captured all moments big and small, fully letting us relive the night and view things we were not able to see for ourselves! Our family and bridal party also loved working with them as well, as they are fun and easy going! I gave them a list of shots that I wanted but then let them go freestyle because I knew they were capable of amazing things! True artists and professionals! Cannot recommend them enough! Who knows maybe we will meet again down the road for a vow renewal!

You can tell he has been in the business a while and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. Now when it comes to the photos. To pick one word: Stunning. I have not been able to find a photographer who is able to capture the beauty of nature while also making sure the people in the photos also stand out. Look no further, book this photography team.

My wife and I saw Bruno’s photos on Instagram and immediately fell in love with his style of photography. Bruno and his wife have an amazing way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera even if you’ve never had any experience “modeling”. Their pictures speak for themselves. The way they capture the perfect angles in the perfect lighting and they know just the right thing to say to make you feel comfortable on your special day. I’ve recommended Bruno to my whole family who have upcoming weddings and would recommend him to anyone looking for true professionals. You won’t regret having Bruno and his wife capture your most special day !

We loved working with Bruno to do our engagement and wedding photography! Bruno's work speaks for itself and we have been so impressed with the pictures he took. Bruno was very fun to work with during the shoots, was good at directing us, telling us where to go or how to stand. We highly recommend you use Bruno if you are looking for epic shots that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Beauty & Life: Captured! provided my husband and I a wonderful experience and tons of beautiful pictures for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. Bruno was a lot of fun to work with and was able to capture so many shots in such a short period of time (we intentionally limited the photography duration due to COVID). Having the second shooter was such a huge benefit, which I didn’t fully appreciate until I was able to see both my husband and I’s first looks at each other while I was walking down the aisle captured. I certainly recommend Beauty & Life: Captured! and definitely look forward to having another shoot, hopefully with some little ones in the coming years!

We absolutely could not have selected a better photographer than Bruno for our wedding! Bruno made the process beyond easy. Planning a COVID wedding on short notice, I reached out to him weeks before our wedding day and he was able to accommodate the time, stayed in constant contact and calmed my anxieties about the last minute planning.
Bruno’s vision is incredible and he and his wife perfectly captured our special day. I can’t even begin to describe what a pleasure it was to work with them and how beautiful our wedding photos came out. It actually took WEEKS for us to go through and select our favorites because we had so many perfect shots to pick from.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bruno. His talent will absolutely blow you away.

Working with Bruno was such a pleasure. He made it fun, captured every important moment and took so many amazing candies. Hiring Bruno as my photographer was the best decision I made. The day itself was amazing but the pictures last forever. With Bruno you are getting much more than just pictures, you are getting a body of art work.

I choose Beauty & Life Captured to do my engagement photos, our Love Story Video, and our wedding. I absolutely loved working with Bruno and Maira each step of the way! Quick responses, kindness, and so professional. This was my first time doing professional photos before and was very nervous, however, Bruno knows how to make you feel comfortable and like the camera isn’t even there. He gives gentle directions for the poses and movements to make each photo look natural yet stunning and flattering. Every photo and video we received were met with endless compliments from friends and family. I am beyond grateful for Bruno capturing such beautiful photos for my husband and I. These are photos you will rush to print and show off. I could not recommend him more!
