Brandon Rodkewitz Photography

tely recommend him to anyone!

g product. He always responded to emails thoroughly and promptly, and offered his own suggestions from his expertise, which went a long way. This helped take the stress off of us and gave us the assurance that Brandon knows what he is doing and will take care of it—we were right. On the day of the wedding, Brandon was early to the venue and got acclimated to the room quickly. While he was taking candid photos of the ceremony and reception, I could barely tell that he was even there, which is ideal. When we were taking organized family photos, he was excellent at instructing us in a friendly and direct way to help us get the best shots possible. My wife and I could not be more pleased with how our photos turned out, and we recommend Brandon to anyone seeking a great photographer for a wedding or other event.

out the years. He has captured not only our wedding, but our engagement, family parties, and holidays as well. Brandon is with you every step of the way. He has the vision, the experience, and the knowledge to help you with planning every detail and scheduling every moment to make you completely stress-free and relaxed during any special moment. My husband and I do not always feel very comfortable in front of the camera, but Brandon's personality and experience brings out the moments and feelings that you want captured. During our engagement shoot, my husband (Kyle) collaborated and planned the entire moment with Brandon. He was able to walk Kyle through the logistics, the timing, and the setting. He even visited the location beforehand! I was completely surprised, and relieved that Brandon was there. Furthermore, when I look back at our engagement pictures, I am able to feel the love that he captured. When ordering our books and photos, Brandon's website is user-friendly. He was also available via web-chat to help us sort through the many wonderful shots when selecting photos for our book. For our wedding, Brandon was beyond helpful. His knowledge and experience helped create our vision and turn it into our big day. He was with us every step of the way. Always available to talk or meet to discuss details and planning. On the day-of, I was completely relaxed and stress-free, knowing Brandon was there to capture our day. He was effortless and natural, making everyone in the room relaxed. You can see the pure happiness love, and raw emotion, in every picture that he captured. When I look back on our photos, I feel as though I am re-living the day. And isn't that what everyone wants? You spend months and sometimes years planning a wedding, and it only lasts for a day. Wouldn't you want to look back on that day and feel like you're transported back to that moment and that feeling? Thank you Brandon for creating just that for us. Thank you for capturing such special memories so naturally and vividly, and for being incredible at what you do. We are beyond grateful for you!

easy to work with and coordinate all the details. He completely nailed down our wedding day timeline for us. - He truly is a professional and yet he made us and all of you family and friends feel so comfortable all day and night long. (Same goes for our engagement shoot that he did for us!) - Captured all of the best moments from getting ready to the VERY end of the party - Wrangled our large circus of families together to get FOUR family pictures - Got us pictures so quickly and easily (we had 177 pictures in our sneak peak! With pictures that were so easy to share, download, print, post….whatever you darn want to do with them)

to a certain amount of characters in this review which I will probably get dangerously close to. Photos are, and should be, one of the most important parts of your wedding. Sure, your friends can take some, or your uncle with the nice camera, or even a venue recommended photographer, but I truly believe that the process, experience, and product wouldn't come close to what you would be getting with Brandon. He is a true artist with amazing attention to detail and the photos he captures have incredible quality. He provides them in a way that is very conducive to sharing with family and friends, without putting "PROOF" across them. That was VERY appreciated!! And so we booked him, and right off the bat, I knew it was the best decision we would make. Brandon was very flexible and willing to work with us to schedule a time and place for our engagement shoot. We wanted to have one mostly to get comfortable with him before our wedding, but also for potential save the date pictures. It wound up being outdoors in a wooded park and despite my wishes, the sun did not come out. As upset as I was on the drive over, as soon as I saw Brandon and his warm smile, along with his reassurance that photos are best when its cloudy, I felt right at ease. And he was right- all the photos turned out AMAZING! The most surprising thing was that, even though I expected the day to be pretty awkward, (hence the reason we wanted to meet up and get a flow going so we would be ready for the wedding) his bright smile and warm laugh immediately put me I at ease. What could have been a really uncomfortable experience wound up being hours of fun, laughing, and exploring- and he caught it all on camera beautifully. We look so happy, because we really were! I wish I could have photo shoots with him all the time. We found the perfect save the date photo, and most of our friends and family still have it up on the fridge. It was of us after we climbed up onto the rails of a dock over looking the water - a thing one does not do unless they truly feel at ease with their photographer! The actual wedding photography was no different from the engagement shoot, and nothing short of perfect. He was everywhere at once and caught all the best moments and detail shots. He made sure to grab us as the sun was setting, and we wound up having a mini photo shoot in a big field, and it was (as always) such a blast- and the photos are so romantic!! He was also fabulous at helping to wrangle up the family for portraits and group shots. Brandon was available in the months and days leading up to the big day via video chat, phone, email and text. He helped finalize our timeline, photo list, and gave a ton of recommendations for vendors and ideas. He truly was the star vendor that we booked!! Definitely give him a shot (pun intended) :)
