Brandon Smith Photography

Brandon was the most amazing photographer for my wedding I could have ever asked for!!! I planned my whole wedding in Oahu from California so I didnt get to meet Brandon before my wedding day but it didnt matter, I knew he was our photographer the minute I saw his website and got a response email from him. He already felt like a friend to me and someone i knew i would feel comfortable with when having to take pictures!! He responds to emails within a matter of minutes everytime I had a question and when he was taking pictures he made everyone else feel so comfortable and happy, it was amazing!! The pictures turned out absolutely stunning and I couldn't have asked for anything more, he went above and beyond!! If you need a photographer for anything absolutely go with Brandon!!

I would enthusiastically recommend Brandon as a photographer for any event. Let me start by saying that my now husband has been a photographer for over 20 years and was very specific is what he was looking for in a photographer for our big day. We were looking for someone with warmth, and a non-cookie cutter style, attention to detail, with an appreciation of light, shadows, and textures in photos. We wanted someone to capture the moments that others may overlook in the haste to check all the standard shots off some pre-conceived list. We also knew we had a couple of challenges that only a seasoned photographer would be able to overcome including the intimate size of our venue and the tricky lighting presented by our sunset ceremony with floor to ceiling glass windows and a mirror backdrop, and low lighting once the sun had set. Brandon’s talent shone through as he and his teammate easily overcame these hurdles. He has such a warm, easy-going, and hilariously fun energy that made the day even more enjoyable. He was always open to any ideas we had for shots. He was able to seamlessly blend in with our guests and put them at ease in order to get those candid moments that are absolutely priceless. He was also able to capture those big moments between bride and groom without sacrificing or disrupting our guests’ experience. We were so impressed by how fast he got our photos to us. His slideshow brought me to tears and we got so many comments from our guests about how well he captured the joy and happiness of not just the bride and groom, but our entire party. He told the story of our day so vividly with his artful shots and I will be forever grateful for his talent and hard work. I would highly recommend Brandon for his prompt and clear communication, his professionalism, his consideration, his vibrant spirit, and most of all the effort and care he takes in his craft.

We were married this past July 16th - Brandon was fabulous at our wedding! He was one of our favorite vendors!! We had a little delay with the weather and getting the ceremony started and he was so accommodating he even stayed longer so that he could photograph the reception. We haven't yet received our photos so I will update again once we get them but I'm sure they will be fantastic! He made everything feel very relaxed and natural.

I'm one of those people who obsessively researches reviews and the work of vendors, so trust me when I say I dug DEEP before choosing a photographer, and Brandon was IT! I had a destination wedding in Hawaii, so we did not get to meet Brandon until the day of. However, he was so communicative and just by the tone of his emails, I felt like we were best friends! Aside from his obvious talent, it was his energy, guidance, and attention to detail that set him apart. My guests loved him, and he captured moments and details that I was hoping for, without me having to ask. Having Brandon be a part of our wedding was truly one of the best investments!
