Brendan Beale

Photographer

Hi, my name is Brendan, and I'm a full-time wedding photographer in the Baltimore Maryland area. I absolutely love what I do: capturing fleeting moments and transforming them into lifelong memories. I bring enthusiasm, friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail to your special day, to help make couples' wedding day extraordinary and joyful. Some of my favorite things: golden hour light through a long veil, the look on a groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time, and father-daughter dances (as the father of a young daughter myself, they get me every time).

We hired Brendan for our 10/12/2024 wedding and he was simply amazing! Brendan had a few calls with us prior to the wedding to discuss our vision for photos. But the most helpful pre-wedding call we had with Brendan was to go over the timeline for our wedding day. We did not have a wedding planner (just a day-of coordinator), and Brendan’s timeline for photos was super helpful for us to plan our WHOLE wedding day timeline in general. On the wedding day, Brendan was such a calming presence, especially when I was getting a little overwhelmed during group photos. Brendan always asked if we were doing okay, if we needed anything, if we wanted to take a break. My entire wedding party commented how efficient he was, getting the photos we wanted but keeping us on track with specific directions. Throughout the reception, Brendan got a lot of really great shots of not only the dance floor, but sweet moments of us connecting with friends and family. We are so pleased with the photo gallery! Brendan took elegant traditional family and couple portraits, but he also took some very intimate editorial photos of my husband and I that look straight out of a Vogue shoot! These were exactly the type of photos I envisioned hanging on the walls of our home. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention just how much of a good guy Brendan is. Brendan is personable and easy to talk to, he’s kind and funny, and the way he interacted with our guests felt like he was just another friend at the wedding! Finding Brendan to be our photographer was easily the best vendor choice we made.

Brendan captured the perfect wedding photos for us. He schedule multiple calls/meetings leading up to our wedding date. He put an emphasis on getting to know us personally as well as making sure we had a plan for photos to be taken and a general timeline. Brendan told us he was available anytime we had questions or more details to add outside of our meetings. He was fantastic to work with, all of our guests loved chatting with him & we love our pictures!

Brendan was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was professional, flexible, and very accommodative. We had our engagement shoot with him first and loved his work. It was no surprise that the photos from our wedding day turned out beautifully. Brendan really captured the day well and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. We will certainly be using him again in the near future.

Brendan was an absolutely incredible photographer. If you were a guest at our wedding you would have assumed that Brendan was part of the grooms/brides family. We felt like he was celebrating our wedding right along with us. He exudes joy, patience, gentleness, and kindness. He ensured family photos went smoothly and quickly without sacrificing quality. Furthermore, his prices were so reasonable, especially for the standard in quality he provided.

Brendan was really, really awesome to work with and so professional. We had a FaceTime to go over things a month before the wedding and it really helped to get an overview of what was going to happen. The day of the wedding he showed up early and he adapted so well to what we needed. There was even a slight change in the schedule that I ended up having that I felt about throwing at him but he handled it amazingly. Highly, highly recommend Brendan!!!

We booked Brendan for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I can not express how pleased we were with both sets. Brendan is such an easy going, caring, and flexible photographer. He wants you to feel comfortable and happy and he goes above and beyond doing so. His talent in capturing the candid moments, quiet moments, and posing for that “just right” picture go unmatched. He wholeheartedly embraced our craziness and vibed with us and the photos are absolutely stunning. I will be hiring him for any future photography projects. We are completely blown away with how stunning our wedding photos are!

Brendan was professional, charismatic, and incredibly knowledgeable. We ended up with rain on our wedding day and he knew just the perfect spots to get beautiful pictures and make the best of not so ideal weather. They are the most beautiful pictures. Brendan was also a joy to be around. He seemed genuinely happy to be celebrating our wedding and took the time to get to know us as a couple and integrate our personalities and quirks into his plan for the day. We recommend him whole-heartedly for any wedding photography needs!

Working with Brendon Beale for our wedding photography was an absolute delight. From the outset, Brendon's energy and enthusiasm set a fun and relaxed tone for both us and our guests. What really stood out to us was his extraordinary talent for capturing those spontaneous, candid moments – the ones that truly reflected the joy and essence of our special day. There were countless instances where Brendon discreetly photographed beautiful, natural scenes that we didn't even realize were happening. These unexpected snapshots turned out to be our favorite memories, encapsulating the genuine emotions and atmosphere of our wedding. Brendon's ability to blend into the background while still being in the heart of the action is a testament to his professionalism and skill as a photographer. He has a keen eye for detail and an intuitive sense for timing, ensuring that no significant moment was missed. The quality of the photos we received was exceptional, with each image telling its own story, full of life and emotion. We are genuinely grateful for the memories Brendon has preserved for us. His work goes beyond mere photography; it's about capturing the spirit of the occasion. We highly recommend his services to any couple seeking a photographer who can truly capture the essence of their special day. Thank you, Brendon, for making our wedding memories even more beautiful and for capturing the heart of our celebration in ways we could never have imagined.

Hiring Brendan as your photographer is one of the best things you can do in planning your wedding. Before the wedding he was incredibly clear in his communication. On the day of, he perfectly captured our day. He was great at interacting with family and guests. We took great posed pictures before everything started, and once the ceremony and reception was going on, he captured so many genuine moments. Our pastor commented that he was one of the best wedding photographers because he was clearly capturing the moments, but was never interfering with the service or getting in the way. Truly, the best you could choose.

Brendan was amazing to work with! We used him for our engagement shoot and our wedding day and if we could do it again, we wouldn't think twice! He was extremely professional and easy to communicate with and also generally nice to be around. All our family, wedding party and guests loved how present he was during the reception to capture the party and he was really great at wrangling everyone for wedding party/family photos. As for the images, Brendan has a keen eye for composition and is great at capturing the important moments in a stylistic lens. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and some friends have said they were the best they've seen. Brendan was able to capture wedding party photos in the church parking lot and you would never know that's where those photos were taken. He's incredible at what he does and we feel so lucky we were able to have him make our day so special.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Brendan as our wedding photographer! Our special day was captured so perfectly in his photography - from shots that showed the love between me and my husband to the ones that showed the humor and fun throughout the day, our wedding album depicts every emotion that was felt that day. Brendan made sure to take every shot that we requested, and directed us on how to pose for more shots that turned out amazing. He was incredibly professional and organized through the whole process, and he was fun to have around too! Since our wedding, I have received many comments from my friends and family about how wonderful our wedding photos turned out. I would absolutely hire Brendan again and highly recommend him to others!
