We loved working with Brett for our wedding photography! He was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable with his calm demeanor. He was extremely flexible and accommodating to our scheduling and photo requests , and provided coverage at multiple locations on the day of our wedding. He communicated quickly and effectively with us during our contract and leading up to the wedding. During our event, Brett stuck to the schedule we had set out, and captured the shots we had requested. Other than when we were directly interacting with them, he and his assistant Katie were practically unnoticeable (in a good way), operated in the background and were able to capture all of our special moments throughout the event. Following the wedding, Brett provided our photos (over 900 total) in about 2 weeks! We absolutely love our pictures and have received numerous compliments on how beautiful they are! We highly recommend Brett for his professionalism, positive attitude, and work product!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Brett and his assistant Katie. They were amazing to deal with from day one. Brett made us feel very comfortable and confident that the photos were going to be beautiful. He also made my entire family feel very comfortable during the wedding. I met Katie the day of the wedding, and I just adored her. She meshed very well with my family, made us all feel very comfortable. While I was getting dressed, she made me feel at ease with the entire process. I was so thankful to have them both there for our wedding. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos captured all the emotions we felt that day and for each other. They were perfect!! Looking at the pictures sometimes surprises me, they are so beautiful!!! Thank you so very much Brett and Katie!!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brett and Katie! We had one of those, everything changes a million times, weddings and they rolled with it like it was nothing out of the ordinary. They were so, so easy to work with from start to finish. When we asked to go for a hike up a hill, dance in the rain, or threw anything else at them, Brett and Katie were ready to go! The guests at the wedding were all super impressed with them as well, and mentioned that they seemed to be everywhere all at once. They were both very professional. Brett was our primary contact, and he was easy to get in touch with, and promptly answered all of our questions. They were very organized about portraits, and very efficient herding our family into those pictures. Brett called the church and asked about their requirements/preferences (one more thing off my to-do list) and covered everything they needed. Their fees include a contribution to KIVA, which is an added bonus...

When looking for a wedding photographer, I wanted to find someone that presented clear, colorful, bright photos. I know that much of the theme nowadays is the white wash, faded photos, but we wanted something more "traditional". I loved Brett's photos because he captured the emotion and excitement that occurred throughout the day. It was nice being able to fill out forms and pay online through his website - made it easy on myself and my Mom. Brett also donates a portion of the payment to an entrepreneurial philanthropic group, which I thought was nice! On the day of the wedding, Brett and his assistant seemed to be very much "in the background" when it came to taking photographs, and I very much appreciated that. It's now three weeks after the wedding, so we should be receiving our pictures in the coming month. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Thanks Brett!

Brett was so easy-going and flexible to work with! We were an out of town couple but had our wedding in Austin. Our meetings/emails went well, and we were super excited to have him as a photographer. On the wedding day, Brett floated around taking pictures--several people commented on how they didn't even notice him. He catches some excellent shots too! We love his photojournalism style, and had so much fun looking through our wedding photos just a few weeks later! The wedding day is such a blur, and Brett takes the perfect photos to look back upon and remember all the special moments!

Brett and Katie did a fantastic job at the wedding. Leading up to it, Brett was so easy-going and flexible to work with. The pictures turned out incredible and I'm so pleased with his work. It was a bit pricey compared to some of the other photographers we looked at but totally worth it. He's a true professional and fantastic photographer. I'd definitely recommend him to any bride!!
