ecommend him !!!

eryone loved him. I can't say enough great things about him. The pictures are breathtaking and exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much Brian for helping make our day so special!

and funny personality. For our wedding day, he went above and beyond. He took pictures of things that I would have never thought to have asked and he had everything planned out and organized. I would and will be recommending him to anyone and everyone ! Thank you again Brian for capturing our special day. Our pictures came out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

as an amazing personality and really calmed me down throughout the whole process. I wish I could bring him back to San Antonio to shoot all my pictures!

for our family and friends. Can’t wait to see our photos soon.

nd Brian as a part of the crew making your wedding day wonderful! As NOLA expats, we sent emails to a TON of photographers - throwing darts at the board based on friend recommendations, website recommendations, & blind luck. Brian was one of the quickest to get back to us and his first email had me rolling in laughter. I asked my fiance (now husband!) to read it, and even he cracked up. We were smitten. We booked him and set up an engagement shoot during our planning weekend about 6 months before the wedding. I told Brian that we are a quirky couple, and we really didn't want to do a shoot in the normal "longingly-staring-in-each-other's-eyes-in-the-quarter" kind of way. We did our shoot in an abandoned building at Brian's recommendation & it turned out fabulous and so very us! As they wedding day drew closer (and my patience with wedding planning wore thin) I told Brian "I trust you - just tell us where we should show up for pictures." I never thought about it again, and that trust paid off! Brian was right on time to our hotel for the getting ready shots, and met my (absolutely fed up with the people I loved dearest) energy to help bring it back around. He & his assistant were efficient, comforting, and made great use of every moment. He found us an absolutely gorgeous spot between the hotel & venue for portraits, and by the time they were done and we were rolling up to the venue, we were ahead of schedule and I was at peace with the universe. After the wedding, you expect your guests to rave about the food or the location or the music, but I have had so many people call to say "your photographer was SO GREAT!" Brian became a part of the party! He was everywhere all at once, checked in on us a number of times, and was somehow cutting up the dance floor while snapping away. He became one part photographer and one part hype-guy in the best way possible. Brian is amazing. His work is stunning, his communication is spot-on, and he's all around a fun guy to work with. Max & I generally feel awkward as hell in front of a camera, but Brian put that in his pocket and held on to it for us so we could enjoy. I was thrilled with our engagement shoot and am eagerly awaiting our wedding shots - I already know they're going to be spectacular.

raving about his talents!!

rable moments that will last for many lifetimes. His professionalism and knowledge of the wedding world are second to none. If you want someone who will not only give you fantastic photos, but someone who will capture all the emotions of your big day in breathtaking pieces of art then Brian Jarreau is your guy! There truly aren’t enough words to describe what he did for us. We are over the moon and can’t wait to share more of his outstanding work!

to communicate with and his work is amazing!

ur life, it can be a little daunting. Brian was the greatest... hands down. He customized a package to give us exactly what we wanted. He has an incomparable eye for truly beautiful pictures and an impeccable instinct for catching every moment, every tear, and every beaming smile. It was truly an honor and privilege to have him share his gift with us, and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks for everything, Brian!

e best shots... He'll climb a tree! He's a very laid back person, which helps on wedding days. He also knows when to be silly, when to crack jokes, when to hustle, when to be calm, and when to be serious - all of which can be necessary on your wedding day. One of the many things that stood out about Brian was that he was a team player. He didn't come to the wedding just to take photos, he was helping out the entire time! He was extremely self directed, arranging items like my wedding dress, jewelry, shoes, etc. for photos, and for my convenience, prior to me even arriving in the suite. He served as a contact person for my wedding planner and guests, even though he didn't need to. He also created an atmosphere of excitement and eagerness during a time that easily can be so stressful. Before the wedding, we went to Mardi Gras World for bridal party photos, and he came up with so many ideas for great photos and was so upbeat it was infectious. At the wedding, he was so cordial and friendly with all of the guests, that by the end of the night, most knew him by name. I really enjoyed working with Brian, and I'm SO thankful that I chose him as our photographer for my wedding. He really contributed to making my best day ever, my best day ever!!!

ing. I sent him so many details ahead of time and he executed everything. He rolls with the flow and deals with the annoying requests of the bride and the family during the wedding g day chaos. He even told my (last minute) videographer who he has no connection to jump in andget a shot of my veil. Most of all he is so funny, laid back, hysterical and simply gets me and my humor. I honestly felt like we were best friends and even want to be his friend after this! Last but not least he has exceptional pricing. Be confident in your choice with Brian. It's the best wedding vendor decision you'll ever make!

night (yes, he worked quite a long day for us), I've never seen a photographer work so hard. I can't stress this enough... he worked his ass off!!! He captured the day beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with our photos. Besides the fact that he is clearly a talented photographer, he's a great guy and incredibly fun to work with. Which is exactly why everyone at our wedding loved him! He didn't miss a beat - from the prep photos while we were getting ready, to the first look, to directing all of our guests for a big group shot after the ceremony, to the second line and party photos - every moment was captured beautifully. And by the way, the photos he took of our massive dance party are priceless. He's unbelievably talented, it's a simple as that. It was more than just a pleasure to work with him, it was an honor to have him there to capture every important moment from our day. You're a fool if you don't use him for your wedding... just our thoughts from a very happy bride and groom!

e more pleased!! Brian did the photographs for our wedding and also did my bridals months before the wedding. We actually had to reschedule the bridals the next day due to rain, and he did so without hesitation. My bridals came out PHENOMENAL. As far as the wedding photos, he was again amazing. His eye for capturing the perfect picture is great. We took photos on the levee with the city in the background and they are unbelievable. All of my guests commented on how present he was at the reception, on the dance floor, in the crowd, etc, all while being not being intrusive. I can't wait until I can see the rest of the images. Overall, if you are looking for a friendly, talented, dependable photographer book Brian now, you will not be disappointed!!

hotographer for our wedding!

st for 20+ years and have worked numerous weddings with many photographers. Brian has an amazing eye for creativity when it comes to shooting wedding shots. His level of energy remains constant through the entire process. The result- INCREDIBLE. I am EXTREMELY particular about how I look in photos and I loved EVERY PHOTO. It was hard to narrow down. He also calmed my nerves before the big moment. The experience will never be forgotten.

that he was located in New Orleans and previously worked in Chicago for 10 years, as we lived new New Orleans (engagement shoot!) and were planning to get married in Chicago. He did a great job capturing every little detail of the day and making everyone laugh and act naturally in front of the camera. It was great. The best was when he had to put his camera down to dance to a song!

d make sure that family and friends weren't standing around waiting on him. He was professional and very pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommended him as a photographer for any event!

I would highly recommend hiring Brian to shoot your wedding.

nts from my guests about him everyone loved working with him! When it came to the directed shots he always made his directions so easy to understand and fun to listen too. There really aren't enough nice things I can say...he made it really hard to decide on a favorite picture and thats a good thing! I am in love with all of them!!

ou with confidence, that I made the right decision. Brian was my photographer for our Engagement pictures, Engagement Party, Bridal pictures and our wedding. He was professional, he worked with me every step of the way and he very thoughtfully asked specific questions, as to what I was hoping to achieve with my pictures, so that he could give me exactly what I'd asked for. I have never had a photographer ask me what I do or do not like about myself and incorporate those things into my pictures and it was really great. He guided me through the whole process and was entertaining and easy to talk to and gave clear and exact direction for the pictures, ensuring that they would meet my expectations. When I got notification that my pictures were ready to view, I was really nervous because this isn't something that you get a second shot at! But out of almost 1000 pictures, there was not a single bad one. I was blown away. My pictures are amazing, I could not be happier with them and I highly recommend that everyone use him! At the end of the day, the quality and beauty of his photography speaks for itself. My pictures are not amazing because of anything that I did, but rather because Brian knows exactly what to do, to make each person look their best!

shots and they got the shots quickly but in a fun fashion. Both of them were personable and friendly and I can't wait to see all of the finished photos. GREAT JOB Brian!! I would highly recommend your services to anyone who inquired. As father of the bride, my one hope was that the pictures would capture the true joy and love in both Pat & Katie's faces and from what I have seen....it truly does.

hat he does and it shows through his work. My bridesmaids are still commenting on how awesome Brian is. I am in the hospitality industry and I recommend him to everyone of my wedding clients. To everyone planning a wedding, that want a photographer who is going to go above and beyond for you, hire Brian. It will be the best decision you make, I guarantee it.

that brings such joyous vibes to your special day. He also cracks joke throughout the day to help everyone feel at ease and bring genuine smiles to your face. Brian is attentive to detail and makes sure you are pleased with his work. One of the most unique things I think about when I think of Brian is how hard he worked to get the perfect pictures. For parts of the photos, we were in downtown Chicago on a bridge on a very busy street! He extended himself into busy traffic to secure some of our favorite shots, which showed his dedication to get the creative shots we asked for. Brian made our experience so enjoyable that we also had him do the photography for my sister's wedding this year as well! I would highly recommend Brian Jarreau due to his devotion, attention to detail, and outgoing personality!

n I am, he custom made my wedding package to better suit my needs and wants. There was a beautiful sunset on my wedding day and he was game to running out of the reception to make sure we got pictures in front of natures beautiful background. I was so excited and impressed! Brian was so awesome to work with, I never once felt pressured to do anything I didn't like. I can't speak good enough about him. I also can't tell you how many compliments I got at my wedding about how fun he was.

d cool but it works either way. Can't smile? Don't worry, he'll make you laugh anyway. Every idea is a good idea to him. Can't recommend him enough. Brian Jarreau for president! (Okay he's not running, but if he was...)

r scampered out into the walkway chasing his dad about something. She stopped right in the way of Brian as he was backing down the walk taking pics, and moving very fast. Grandma didn't hear my warning, but Brian, as busy and focused as he was, he was still amazingly aware of everything that was going on around him. He heard me and stopped inches away from a serious collision with an elderly woman. It would have been a dreadful end to the wedding, but Brian was on his game. I have watched Brian work now through two weddings, and was really blessed by his attention to detail, his patience, and ability to adapt very quickly to all the curve balls that get thrown at him. In the end though, it's the pictures that matter the most, and we have been thrilled by all of his work. They are all wonderful treasures and we are most thankful for his labors.

! His professionalism and dedication to making our wedding pictures memorable were truly noteworthy. He listened to our requests and produced the most amazing shots we've ever seen. It's also worth mentioning that his lovely wife, Leslie, assisted him and was equally amazing. What a great team! Also, worth mentioning was the turn-around time for accessing our pictures. Within a couple of weeks Brian uploaded our pictures and made them available for friends and family to view. So many wonderful shots to choose from and we couldn't be happier! Thank you so very kindly, Brian! We loved your work and we look forward to booking you again! Leslie and Cordell

e moment and detail of our big day perfectly. We had SO MANY great shots from our wedding - I don't think there was a single photo we didn't love. I can't say enough great things about this photographer. Brian took our wedding day photos and we would have loved for him to capture many more of our family's significant moments if he was still in Chicagoland! Thank you Brian for everything!

worry free. My wedding day was, as I'm sure most are, somewhat stressful, but we were all blown away by his agility, creativity and unending line of comedic relief. He worked around the off and on rain, and got amazing shots in spite of a less than ideal situation. Brian is a true professional, moving seamlessly through his environment, adapting to the ever-changing circumstances of lighting and people. My wedding guests are still taking about how much they enjoyed him. He made my husband and me feel completely comfortable during the bridal photos and party photos are EPIC. This is such and important decision for your big day...don't mess this up! Hire Brian!

lly brought energy and humor that kept it from feeling like a chore. You can really see that we were having a great time in the photos. He captured the LOVE! Also, the photos are phenomenal (and flattering!). It was an outdoor wedding and he really had a eye for composing a shot that captured the beauty of the setting.

ck but thorough with great energy. Brian is all of the above! He knew exactly where he wanted us and moved quickly and effectively while being absolutely precious! He has the best personality and lots of energy which makes it so much easier and more comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. The guy knows his stuff!!!

attire was professional. He was very personable with our wedding party and guests and did a great job interacting with everyone while he took pictures. I will say that our wedding party (with several children involved) would have been stressful for anyone to work with, and Brian handled everything with plenty of grace and professionalism. He was always present at opportune moments to catch a great picture with a family member or friend during the reception. After the wedding, he put together an online gallery fairly promptly where us and our guests could view the pictures. He did a great job organizing the pictures into categories so they were easy to browse and locate certain shots. The quality of the pictures taken was very high and very artistically shot in many cases, especially the pictures of my wife and my self (both separate and together)! Overall we couldn't be happier with Brian, and we would happily recommend him to anyone.

professional, etc. Well, let me just say, Brian not only lived up to his reviews, but he was SO much more! Every single person I talked to at my wedding, told me how amazing he was... People thought I had known him for years!!! Words can't describe how obsessed I am with him AND his work. I haven't seen one picture from my wedding of his that I don't like! Thank you Brian for your contagious personality and your phenomenal photography skills, I can't wait to use you again!!!

hem all. He was willing to go all over New Orleans so we could get all the shots we wanted. His personality is contagious...always smiling and full of energy. You are guaranteed to have a good time while taking photos. I would highly recommend Brian as he went above and beyond for us. From one bride to another...you will not be disappointed.

ion. My husband is not always the best in front of the camera and Brian made him comfortable and natural. For our wedding, Brian was with us both from start to finish. He listened to exactly what I wanted (a mixture of beautiful organic moments as well as photos of our HUGE family). Brian was even able to get me beautiful, quality portraits printed for my mother and grandmother before the wedding. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Brian for all of your photography wants and needs. He is funny, talented and a complete professional. You won't be sorry!

hire Brian. First of all he takes fantastic pictures. He is SOOOO good at posing his couples so no weird looking arms/chins/fingers etc. And he clearly guides couples from poses and locations so you don't have to think about the pictures - just relax and let him snap away. But I think it's Brian's personality that really makes him an amazing photographer. Brian is so friendly, likable, and energetic that you can't help having fun when you're with him. And we all know fun = good pictures. Brian was so friendly one of my bridesmaids asked me how long we'd been friends. We'd only met once! Oh yeah and I recommend doing an engagement session. You'll love the pictures and it will give you time to get to know your photographer. A note about price - we hired Brian through another photography company in Chicago. I thought the price was very reasonable (we were on a tight budget!) but I won't list it here because I don't know what Brian's personal rates are. So to sum up: You should hire Brian. He's the best. Stop reading reviews and just call him right now.

relaxed and fun atmosphere while still focusing on the technical aspects (tilt your chin up, don't slouch, etc). I HATE getting my picture taken, but Brian really made it an enjoyable experience.

nd the reception he was very engaging and made the entire bridal party feel loose. He kept everyone laughing and having a good time. As for the pictures themselves, my wife and I could not be happier. He captured everything we had hoped for and more. We would definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a photographer. -Mike Lentino

r wedding ceremony as well as fun ones with the wedding party. He is very creative and it showed in his beautiful photos. He was also able to take more traditional photos (as we wanted a mix of the two). I only talked to Brian a handful of times before the wedding, but he totally understood what we wanted and had some good suggestions for places to go around the city to get skyline and natural shots. We had a good mix of both. We had to cut out one of our photo stops (due to bad traffic) but we were so happy with the photos we did get, that we didn't care! I would definitely recommend Brian for my friends and family that are getting married!

wedding day but the pictures are also reflective of our personalities. Brian added his own artistic spin with the use of certain angles, surroundings, and poses making each picture truly beautiful. We had such a hard time choosing ones for our album - we wanted to include them all!!

between our ceremony and reception, and he not only got all the shots, but we were left with time to spare. He gave excellent direction which helped things move along quick and easy. Brian was so creative, taking lots of unique photos and capturing every moment of our day. He was so fun to be around, and he made us feel extremely comfortable. He fit right in with our wedding party! Many of our guests wanted Brian's information after our wedding, commenting on how fun and talented he was. If you are in need of a wedding photographer, we would highly recommend Brian. He will make your wedding a day to remember, and you will have amazing photos to look back on and remember what a special day it was.

more than pleased with the work of Brian Jarreau. Brian is truly an amazingly unbelievable photographer! I was lucky enough to have him shoot the most important day of my life – my wedding, and he went above and beyond all my expectations. From the moment my husband and I first met with him, Brian was such a dedicated, professional and artistic photographer. We felt extremely comfortable with him, as did my bridal party and all of our guests. And most importantly – the photos from the wedding turned out better than I could have imagined. He has left us with a detailed storybook of our most special day. I absolutely adore all the pictures – I can look at them over and over all day long. Thank you Brian for paying such close attention to all the little things that made our wedding pictures so perfect. I could not be happier! If anyone ever mentions they are planning a wedding, I would strongly recommend Brian : awesome personality and best photographer. I can guarantee any bride to be that she would not go wrong with Brian.

would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a photographer!
