ely love all of our engagement photos! We have received our sneak peak pictures from the wedding and we are so excited to see all of them! His work is gorgeous and he really helped capture all the emotions and excitement. I love the overall feel and aesthetic of his photography and highly recommend him to anyone who wants beautiful moments captured in beautiful pictures!

cations he’d suggested, which offered different romantic backgrounds. The pictures he took are stunning. Brett has a photographer’s eye and truly enjoys capturing people’s connection. He has an easygoing personality and balances observation with direction. Brett offers guidance and suggests poses that feel and look natural. He is also open to ideas. Brett was a real pleasure to work with. The day of the wedding, we shot at two locations. Brett was solid and set a calm tone. We love our portrait shots from the Mission San Juan. Brett captured our ceremony at The Villa beautifully, and was especially wonderful with our families afterwards. He and his second shooter, Paul, worked wonderfully together with the videographer to document our big day. He even stayed late. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos. Thank you, Brett!

ve-the-date and on our website. What's really great about Brett is that he knows exactly how to make you look great not only with lighting/exposure but also when it comes to positioning. He knows every angle your arm/wrist/chin/leg should be in and he will tell you exactly how to move - this is so helpful for those of us that aren't seasoned models. I had a different shoot in New Orleans where I live (because I won it at an auction) and to put it bluntly it really showed how amazing, skilled, trained and professional Brett was in comparison. You will not get the same direction from just anyone else. He is so enjoyable to work with and he'll know how to deal with your family no matter how crazy they might be, and on top of that he's super professional which I need, respect, and love. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

ade us feel super comfortable and not embarrassed at all. My husband and I were extremely nervous to photograph for the very first time in the 6 years of being together and that instantly went away with Brett. We were laughing and enjoying ourselves the whole time. We even went over our time frame by an hour and he insisted we kept shooting without any additional charges for his time. Our wedding couldn't have gone any better. The pictures were absolutely breathtaking. I made 4 sets of photo albums for all our parents and to this day, my family still expresses how amazing our photos look. We got married on September 30th, 2017 and even though its already been 6 months since our wedding, I wanted to make sure to still write this review. I will always refer Brett to anyone I come across looking for a amazing photographer. He is worth every dollar and more. Thanks again Brett!

stly probably searched every day for weeks to find just the right one! When we found Brett, I knew he was the perfect choice and prayed that he had our date available!! All of his photos are gorgeous and he has a true talent of being able to capture the perfect shots. He is so professional, easy to get along with, and passionate about what he does. My husband absolutely hates being in front of the camera (he didn’t even want to do an engagement shoot because of it) and even he felt comfortable through both the engagement shoot and the day of our wedding! Both our engagement photos and wedding photos came out AMAZING! We have received so many compliments from friends and family about how gorgeous they all turned out! I couldn’t be happier with Brett and his work. If you are looking for a photographer he is your guy! Thank you Brett for being there on our special day!!!

with him, but he made sure that we met up before the wedding so that we knew him. He said he didn't like to have us meet the first time on the wedding day. I never thought about that - the person capturing our intimate moments on our big day would meet us for the first time the day of the wedding. I really appreciated that! Brett's photography is artistry. I mean the pictures he took of us at The Villa and at San Juan Mission could be in magazines!! I told my husband, "we look like models in these pictures!!" And we are not photogenic people - the Talladega Nights "what do I do with my hands?" is totally us!! But Brett was great at giving direction and allowing my husband and I to just be us and then capturing those special moments. Brett is amazing at capturing the emotion of the day on camera, which is so special!! Brett Hickman Photographers will not disappoint!!

r finding the best locations with the most amazing lighting. In addition, he was able to capture two un-photogenic people as the best possible version of themselves. While my husband and I don't enjoy the way we look in pictures, we actually enjoyed looking through all of Brett's photos. Throughout the day, he efficiently set up shots and gave good direction for position placement without being pushy or impatient. In addition, during the wedding party photoshoot, he noticed that we were a bit parched from the day and fetched some waters for us which I found incredibly thoughtful. Taking pictures can be awkward, but Brett made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. Several bridesmaids and groomsmen came up to me after the wedding to tell me how impressed they were with his interactions with the wedding party as well as the other vendors. Brett did a great job working with the videographers to make sure each person was able to get the shots they needed. One of my favorite things about him was that he would come up and show us pictures he took which showed how passionate he is about his work. This made us trust his professional judgment and got us super excited the see the final product. Once we received all of the photos, we were blown away. There simply are no words that could adequately articulate how amazing his photos are. Every single picture contains a sort of warmth that captures our wedding day exactly as we remember it - perfect. THANK YOU BRETT!

and wedding photos came back better than we could have imagined, and Brett and his team made the whole day so exciting for us. He worked seamlessly with our other vendors, which made the process even more enjoyable. We can't say enough wonderful things about Brett and the photos he takes- we absolutely loved how light and natural the photos came out, which was just the way we wanted them. Thank you, Brett, for capturing the best day of our lives so perfectly!

t Hickman Photographers. We absolutely loved our photos and our time working with Brett. He was honest, professional, and he even stepped up to make our day run smoothly when we ran into a couple snags. Thank you so much Brett!

work speaks for itself: light, airy, genuine, and romantic. What impressed us so much was his ability to direct our big families, the whole bridal party, and little kids to get perfect shots in a timely fashion. He was even able to show us unedited shots on our day and they were beyond our expectations. These pictures we will cherish forever, they perfectly capture our day and our relationship. He is personable and friendly, and makes even the most "camera shy" person comfortable. The only thing we would do differently is to have booked him sooner!

eat person. My wife and I really enjoyed working with him. We have one of his photos framed above our fireplace from our special day. He is the best!!

a hold of and very easy to work with while planning and on the big day. Not to mention the quality of his work and his artistic eye is hands down THE BEST!

out what he does. My husband and I are both a little shy but he made us feel comfortable which shines through in the photos. Couldnt be more happy with our photos and we have refered him to many family and friends.

. He's the best!

m getting ready, to the incredible "First Look" on a hill top overlooking Laguna Beach, delightful family and Bridal images, to the backyard ceremony and all the DYI details and reception fun. I'm also a portrait photographer and I'm constantly recommending Brett to newly engaged couples. He has the energy, photography skills, creativity and artist eye that will please everyone.
