Brian Slawson Photography

passionate he is about his job and will go the extra mile to get the perfect shot. He is a very nice person to work with and makes everything so easy and not stressful. I seriously have so many stunning photos I have trouble deciding what's my favorite. That's when you know you hired someone great!

so fun to work with, we felt like he matched our energy, and he made sure we got what we wanted out of each shoot. Brian is so creative and blends/balances traditional and artistic shots. Picking which photos to get prints of was the hardest decision when it came to working with Brian! We highly recommend him for your special event, and we hope to work with him for any photo sessions we do in the future!

engagement session, a 2nd photographer, a USB of all photos, and even a short (4-5 min) video of our wedding. Our photos and video turned out stunning and we receive so many compliments on them. What we particularly loved about Brian is that his photos don't look posed or cheesy like some wedding photos tend to. His photos look so natural and truly captured our personalities. He was also just such a fun guy to have on our wedding day. He's creative and uses a drone to get really unique and beautiful shots. My brothers commented that he'd be a guy they wanted to grab a beer with, ha! Do not hesitate to hire Brian, we cannot recommend him enough.

n made it SO easy. He is so creative and his work was really outstanding. HIGHLY recommend going for the photo + video package!! We could not be happier with the final results! Brian and his team captured our day perfectly and we are SO grateful!

ess, Brian was very professional and had an answer to every question. He's experienced, and has a backup plan for every scenario, which made us feel very confident in him. - Brian was very easy going and open to suggestions during our engagement shoot in June of 2019. He made us feel much less awkward than we did going in. - Our wedding day, in September 2019, was a blast. Brian and our second shooter (Luke) went with the flow for the sudden weather changes (which made our planned outdoor locations less than ideal) and were quick to adapt for every lighting scenario in our mostly dark venue. They made everyone feel at ease, even this high-strung-but-trying-to-be-chill bride. Brian and Luke got some amazing shots and did some really awesome edits / tricks with lighting which made for some very memorable photos. (We've gotten a lot of compliments!) - We got previews of our photos and the photos themselves very quickly after the wedding (within a month we had all the photos digitally, and only a couple weeks after that we had our highlight video). And we received a thumbdrive in the mail with all our images as well. - The Video Fusion add-on is something I'm so glad we decided to do with Brian. While we didn't want to pay for a full videographer, the video fusion gave us a four minute little highlight reel to capture the joy of the day in such a cool way.

red everything perfectly from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. Luke and Brian were so easy to work with and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we have received so many compliments from friends and family. One of our friends ended up hiring him to shoot their wedding as well. I would highly recommend to hire Brian for your big day!

e" and interviewed many of the photographers. After meeting with Brian, the search ended! We'll know next time to search "#1 Photographer In Milwaukee" LOL At least the search wouldn't have been as painful. Highly recommended and we have the photos and video to prove why. Forever indebted.

and wedding day. It was great to see so many images so soon after our wedding. We absolutely love his creative style and the quality of all of our images. He is so friendly and listens to what you are looking for in your photographs. I would highly recommend Brian Slawson to anyone that is planning a wedding!

her photographers, but after we met with Brian we could instantaneously tell he had a passion for what he does! He did an excellent job with a complete wedding package including engagement pictures, wedding pictures, highlight video and a trash the dress session. He has creative ideas, but was also open to our ideas as well. We really enjoyed getting to know him during our engagement session and appreciated that we had that opportunity to build a relationship before the wedding and get more comfortable in front of the camera. Throughout the entire wedding process, Brian was very responsive, communicative, and flexible to our needs and schedule. Brian Slawson and Matt Perry were the photographers on our wedding day and willing to do anything and everything that was asked of them, or whatever it took to get the shot! Brian was the first person I saw as I pulled into the wedding venue and one of the last to leave! They hiked the observation tower, hauling camera equipment for an amazing sunset picture and later trucked down to the beach with us in pitch black for unforgettable captured moments! Not only did they get extraordinary shots, but they also reminded us throughout the night to soak in those moments and have fun! On a day where you are being pulled in so many directions with a tight schedule, we needed and appreciated that reminder to enjoy time with each other! After a few weeks, we also had a trash the dress session and Brian was up for anything. Some of my favorite pictures came out of our trash the dress session with no pressure and no agenda! In all three shoots, we had a sneak peek within a few days. We will forever be grateful for the unforgettable memories that they captured on our wedding day. Brian is a true professional with passion for his work and genuinely cares about his clients and the final product he delivers for their big moments.

were likely a lot of local photographers in Chicago that we could have researched for our big day. We knew from the moment we spoke to Brian (combined with the great review from the other photographer) that we didn't need to look any further! Brian is incredibly personable and easy to work with. My husband and I definitely do not take a lot of photos, so we were a little nervous about the idea of getting so many pictures taken for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. Brian was like a friend tagging along on both days! Taking photos for him seemed so effortless, and his direction was easy to follow. Our pictures were amazing! The greatest part of working with Brian was seeing how much he does truly love his job, and his love for photography in general. Should we have any future professional pictures taken, we will definitely be reaching out to Brian again!

ographers which comes with a lot of bonus additions). Now, I think honesty is important in a review and admittedly BSP was more expensive than what we were looking to spend BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Seriously. Most things that you spend money on for your wedding will only last the wedding day itself but photos and videos last a lifetime, so you want someone who know's what he's doing. That someone is Brian and his team. You get what you pay for and the results are breathtaking. Brian has a remarkable talent of turning intangible emotions into tangible memories. He captures a spectrum of emotions in just one shot. Don't beleive me? Check out his portfolios on his website! Brian is enthusiastic, friendly, energetic, super flexible, punctual, prompt with his correspondences, and an overall joy to work with along with the rest of his team. You can tell how much he loves what he does by the passion he puts into it. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the experience and results of Brian Slawson Photography and give the highest recommendation!!!

punctual and he very prompt with our pictures!

dding! Recommend to anyone looking for a photographer who is dedicated, talented & reasonable.
