My husband and I were married 11/2/2019 in Raleigh, NC. From the moment we hired Brian, we knew we picked the best photographer! He was personable, helpful, and our pictures were a...
bsolutely GORGEOUS! We LOVE Brian and Hannah so much!
My wife, Lauren, and I got married in September 2019 on Beech Mountain, NC. We had the privilege of working with Brian and Hannah, however I consider it a pleasure of ours to have...
spent time with them. Brian and Hannah were absolutely amazing every step of the way and made our engagement photos as well as our wedding shoot memories we'll always cherish. It felt as if Brian was just "one of the guys" and you don't get much sweeter than Hannah. We're lucky to know the Schindler's and wish them nothing but success in their future endeavors! Let there be absolutely zero doubt that Brian and Hannah are the best photographers you can hire; you will not be disappointed.
My husband and I got married 11/4/18 and could not have asked for a better photographer to work with; seriously, the best ever. It felt like having lifelong friends along for the r...
ide. Our pictures turned out incredible, and are the most precious memories of our special day. You can tell Brian’s whole heart goes in to what he does, and his talent is indescribable! Our wedding day was filled with chaos and the plan had to change entirely due to unforeseen events, but Brian and Hannah were the calm to our beautiful storm and such a special part of our big day! We also used Brian for bridal portraits as well as the rehearsal dinner. Pictures that will last a lifetime!
Brian and Hannah are just the most amazing people, on top of being wonderful photographers. Brian was the very first wedding vendor we booked, literally before we even had a venue ...
or date booked, because his work is so beautiful, I couldn't imagine using a different photographer. Not only is his work brilliant (just take a peek at some of the photos on his website or IG account and you'll feel the same way), he truly does whatever he can to help make your wedding perfect. He gave me recommendations and feedback on venues he was familiar with, he introduced us to our videographer, and he just made us feel like our wedding was the most important day. He and Hannah made us feel so at ease, and like old friends, at our engagement photo shoot, that by the time the wedding day rolled around, it felt like the day wouldn't have been the same without them there. I cannot recommend him enough. If you've found his page, stop looking, and hire him immediately.
Choosing Brian and Hannah to photograph our wedding was one of the best choices we made in our wedding planning process. We connected with them so well, they are just the most genu...
ine, caring people, and worked so hard to make our wedding photographs perfect. What I did not expect to find in our wedding photographer were friends who did so much to ensure we were comfortable and had a blast on our wedding day. I love my bridesmaids and give them a lot of credit but honestly Brian and Hannah were the ones who actually kept my nerves under control. We would 100% recommend them to photograph your wedding, family, or literally anything. We'll treasure our incredible wedding gallery forever, as well as their friendship!
Brian is not only incredibly talented and among the best behind the camera, but Brian makes you feel like family and creates an experience that is so enjoyable and fun. Brian creat...

Brian and Hannah were an absolute delight to work with all the way around. From putting us immediately at ease during our engagement shoot to being an integral part of our big week...
end I cannot imagine going through the experience of "the best day ever" without them. In looking back, the ridiculously stunning photos he produced for us are actually NOT what I remember most. I remember that Brian was like a dear friend, a cheerleader and made the whole day brighter and more fun by his and Hannah's presence. His work speaks for itself, its intimate without being over posed. He has a fabulous eye for coaching you into poses that may not be completely candid but come out just spectacular. His balance of color and light is on point. If your looking for a photographer to give you a real, approachable, fun experience and come out with magnificent photos memorable for a lifetime, Brian is your man. Love you guys.
I loved working with Brian and Hannah Schindler for our Engagement and Wedding Day photos! They were absolutely amazing and the sweetest couple! Both my husband and I felt extremel...
y comfortable around them, they were the perfect fit for our Wedding Day! I adore looking at our photos and can't believe how beautiful they turned out. I felt like Brian was there every step of the way to help make amazing memories through his photography. I am forever grateful!
We had Brian and Hannah join us in Mexico for our small destination wedding. It can be tough when having a smaller wedding (40-50 people) because you feel responsible for everyone'...
s amount of "fun" during your day. Brian and Hannah are so outgoing and likable that we never even had to wonder if they were getting along okay without us checking in on them constantly, which was a huge relief to me. The photos were beautiful (duh, that's why we hired them initially), and everyone walked away being a friend of theirs. We also got our photos back in record time! - normally photogs give about 4-8 weeks for turnover time, but Brian sent a few teasers the day after and we had our photos within 4 weeks!
Choosing a photographer for my wedding was not an easy decision but when I was recommended Brian from a friend and saw his work, I knew he would capture our day in a way that was s...
o specifically US! Brian was super fun to be photographed by and definitely got the vibe I was hoping for. He listened to my thoughts and ideas and wanted to help figure out how to best take pictures of our love, not just making the cookie cutter photographs that everyone has. I'm so thankful to have gotten to know Brian and Hannah and I have the loveliest photos of our engagement and wedding! Also, we got our photos super fast which was awesome!
My wife Kristin and I hired our good friend Brian as our photographer at our elopement. He was such a crucial part of the day in making it special. From hiking up to the top of a m...
ountain with us, keeping us laughing in the freezing cold of January, and finding the perfect spontaneous spot on a cliff for us to recite our vows to one another. We will forever cherish the images captured from our day and will forever call Brian and his wife Hannah our friends! If you don't hire them, what are you even doing?
Y’all, I can not even express to you how amazing Brian and Hannah are! Brian is so talented that it truly is unbelievable! They have blown us away with capturing our day so perfect...
ly. It’s been five months since our wedding and I look at our pictures everyday and still get chills! We had heard amazing things about him from our good friend and so much we flew him out to our destination wedding in St. Lucia and boy was that the best decision. I can not recommend them enough. Brian and Hannah were hired as our photographers but, quickly became dear friends of ours and we are so grateful for our friendship. If you want a photographer who is HILARIOUS, dedicated, SO and I mean SO talented, and truly an amazing person who will help make your perfect day even more special than Brian and Hannah Schindler are the photographers for you!
My husband and I used Brian as our photographer for our wedding this September and we could not be more thrilled with our choice! I had such high expectations for our photos and Br...
ian far exceeded them! His photos had such a soft romantic, beautiful, style that you just can’t get from a standard wedding photographer.
And working with him was such a pleasant experience! He was always available to answer any questions I had leading up to our wedding and he was calm, friendly and so easy going the day of! We plan to use him for all of our big moments going forward.. nobody else could compare!
I barely even know where to begin. If you're looking for the best and someone to go above and beyond, you have found all of that and more in Brian (and his wonderful wife, Hannah)....
We found Brian because of his work, which he is best in the business at, but what we didn't expect was the amount of care Brian and Hannah put into each one of their couples. He goes out of his way at EVERY opportunity to make you a friend all the way down to sending a birthday gift. :) He captured our engagement photos and after 7 hours in the car together we were far from strangers! Throughout his shooting, he makes you feel extremely comfortable, even if you aren't used to taking photos. And then, ultimately, he delivers your photos... each hand selected and makes you feel that there is no one that could have captured every moment more beautifully. One of the best vendors we had and could have hoped for.
Brian is beyond incredible- aside from being an amazing photographer, Brian is such a kind, warm and welcoming person. Brian was so accommodating and able to fit in our engagement ...
session last minute when we found out that we were moving out of state. I was nervous about being uncomfortable in front of the camera and it coming across as awkward, but Brian made us so comfortable and the pictures are natural, candid and perfectly us- we couldn't be happier!
My husband Greg and I got married on June 2, 2018 in Midland, NC. If we could relive that day a million times over we would and if we had to choose anyone to capture our happiness ...
and celebration we would choose Brian Schindler a million times out of a million. Brian and Hannah’s passion and dedication to their work shows not only through their breathtaking photography but from the moment you meet them. Friendly, helpful, kind, and humorous, they made the entire photography session fun and enjoyable. This enabled them to capture our purest and realest emotions, giving us an honest and beautiful reflection on the greatest day of our lives. The comfort of knowing our memories and happiness will last for eternity through their flawless work is a true blessing. Our wedding day was a celebration of our love and it couldn’t have been more perfectly preserved by anyone other than Brian and Hannah. For that, they have our continued business, gratitude, and friendship for a lifetime.
Where to start on Brian - what a joy to have him photograph our wedding! Of course, as the bride, I was a bit nervous the day of the wedding but as soon as Brian arrived, my nerves...
settled down immensely. He was a true professional with good attentiveness and time management; however, he was also sincere and caring when taking the photos and was sure to catch the best pictures that we will enjoy for all the years to come. Get ready Brian, you will now be our go-to photographer for all things to come in our lives!
I first met Brian at the wedding of a mutual friend. Even though we had just met, I felt like I had known him for years. His inviting personality and (especially) his love for Lord...
of the Rings and Star Wars made us instantly click as friends. He was one of the first people I told about my desire to propose to Abigail. When that day came, I knew for certain that I wanted him there to document that special moment. His ability to capture such memorable moments behind the lens of a camera is truly incredible. So when it came time to choose a wedding photographer, the decision to have Brian document such a sacred day was the easiest part of planning our wedding. Brian has such a gift to capture raw, meaningful, and breathtaking moments behind a camera lens, that much is obvious (just look at any of his work). But what makes Brian so incredibly special is his commitment to building a personal relationship with you, whether you are a client or a friend-of-a-friend at a wedding. He shows the love of Christ through every aspect of what he does and he’ll light up the dance floor at your wedding, too. We are honored to know him and call him not only our photographer, but a great friend. We can’t wait to have Brian there with us to capture and share in more special moments to come.
Brian was simply amazing. He got to know my wife and I--our likes and dislikes, our movie and music taste, etc. it was more like meeting with a friend than a professional photograp...
her. His work was incredible. He spent our entire wedding day all over the place taking pictures. Get the pictures, it felt like he had 20 different helpers there with him. But no, it was just Brian. If you're going to hire a photographer, absolutely hire Brian! - Matt & Kelly, married in Oct 2015
Brian did our engagement photos and our wedding day and his work was nothing short of perfection. He spent hours with us exploring and preparing for the best shots that captured ou...
r love for each other during our engagement shoot. We had so much fun and he was even willing to get on a jetski to get us the most breathtaking photo out on the middle of the lake. Brian also killed it with our wedding day photos. We were so excited to get them back and to relive every moment of our day. I personally love all of the in between photos Brian captured and all the small real moments that will help us remember the day forever. Brian is an incredible photographer but an even better friend! We absolutely love the work he puts out and can't wait to start our family and hire him for a lifestyle shoot!
If you have looked at Brian's Instagram account, then you know he is one heck of a talented photographer, but not only that, he is also one of the best people I know. It was such ...
an honor to work with him and bring him into our relationship to capture one of the biggest moments of our lives. I was a little nervous about being photographed through all of this because I'm not a model and I didn't want anything to look too staged or uncomfortable. I was floored when I saw the finished images and loved how he was able to capture our true selves and the nature of our relationship. Not only is he phenomenal with lighting, (Trust me!! He made the grey skies on my wedding day, look beautiful in pictures) but he is hilarious as well and you will have full belly laughs by the end of the experience. It was by far one of the best and most personable experiences I have had working with a photographer.
Brian was absolutely amazing! From our first brunch with him we were in love. So friendly and fun. Aside from him being amazing, his photography is magical. He captured our wedding...
and engagement photos in a way that showed exactly who we are and exactly how our relationship is. He truly met his life calling! Beautiful work Brian!
I think it goes without saying that Brian's images are absolutely stunning (his portfolio = WOW), but from a personal point-of-view, what makes the images so special is how he capt...
ured such intimate and real moments; my husband and I will truly treasure them forever! On top of the actual "product", the experience with Brian is what makes it all so awesome. He is phenomenal! Funny, kind, smart and just completely wonderful. Choose Brian for your wedding (or any event really)...you will not regret it.
Wow. I really don't have the right words to describe how happy I was with my wedding photos. They were everything I wanted and more. Brian was very calm and efficient the day of th...
e wedding. I never had to find him to tell him what to take pictures of. He just knew. I will treasure his photo's of my wedding for the rest of my life. I can't say that I love having my pictures done but Brian made me and my husband both feel so comfortable and at ease. I have nothing but awesome things to say about Brian and his work.
Brian is fantastic! He made my husband and I feel so comfortable, took the best natural and candid photos! We still love to look at our wedding photos as he did such a great job ca...

We were beyond pleased with not only Brian's photography skills, but also with his fun and personable spirit. He captured all of the details I wanted and more. If you're looking fo...
r someone to relate to, this is your guy.
There are so many amazing things that I could say about Brian. It is evident that he has an eye for what he does, but the fact that he takes it to the next level is what sets him a...
part from the rest. Brian brings it to that next level by becoming a part of your family on that day. He will never be just a photographer to us. He is a lifelong friend. The way he captured our special day was unreal. We will hold these pictures close to us for the years to come. Brian is genuine, kind, and incredibly talented. I have nothing but great things to say about him.
Brian is great because he is really skilled but, more importantly, invested in becoming a part of your story rather than just another line item on the final wedding bill. He's rela...
