Brian Vuyancih Photography is a gifted wedding photographer based in Cincinnati, OH. Just a few years ago, I was a Cincinnati police officer, chasing armed suspects through back alleys and weaving through traffic in high-speed pursuit to catch stolen cars. Today, however, I chase down fleeting moments with my camera.
This major career shift from cop to wedding photographer was sparked by the start of my family, prompting me to reevaluate the risks and rewards of my previous profession. The decision, I assure you, was not a hard one.
My unique background has equipped me with invaluable skills that I bring to every wedding I photograph. My ability to observe and anticipate moments translates into capturing authentic, unscripted moments of joy, laughter, and heartfelt emotion through my lens. Additionally, my experience in maintaining calm under pressure and adapting quickly to changing environments makes me a reassuring presence on your hectic day, which my clients greatly appreciate.
My passion for storytelling extends beyond photography. As a seasoned writer with a dedicated following on my blog, Beechmont Stories, I infuse a deep appreciation for narrative into my approach to photojournalism. This means every snapshot is not just a photo; it's a page in the story of your life. While I excel in capturing the spontaneity and energy of photojournalistic shots, my portfolio also showcases stunning portraits that beautifully frame the posed moments that are equally essential to your wedding story.

Brian was very easy to work with and accommodating! He cares a lot about his art and making his clients happy. We particularly loved working with him because of his calm and kind personality. Brian's pictures are super crisp, true to color, and naturally beautiful. My husband had a particular vision for dark serious photos and he made his vision a reality. We are both extremely satisfied with our photos and would highly recommend Brian.

Brian was EXCELLENT! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He is so professional, polite, friendly and helpful. He wasn't intrusive at all, and gave us space to celebrate our big day after taking professional pictures. I truly appreciate how he walked us through the whole thing before and during our wedding day. He asked for a list of photos we want taken in advance, and gave us some good ideas. Then he gave us a quick call to ask some questions, as well. We felt he was very prepared and experienced, and could see he has passion for what he does. After the wedding, he posted a "sneak peek" of the photos on Facebook for us to enjoy as we wait for the rest of them to be ready, which takes a few weeks for him to edit & fine tune them. We absolutely loved working with him and we'll cherish the photos he's taken of us forever! Thank you so much, Brian!

We found Brian through the Knot early in 2020 for our fall wedding. From our first meeting, I was confident we chose the right photographer. Brian was incredibly flexible and helpful when COVID hit and we had to change plans quite a bit. The second photographer he brought was also an absolute delight and they were both such valuable additions to our wedding day. Of course, the final gallery was gorgeous and I still have people complement our wedding photos. Thank you Brian! ~The Hawns

Brian was the photographer at my cousin’s wedding and when I saw his work I just knew I wanted him for my own wedding. He was a pleasure to work with. He understood exactly what I wanted when it came to my photos. Everyone I show my wedding photos to says how beautiful they are. He did an incredible job. I would recommend him a million times over.

Brian is an amazing photographer! It is obvious he loves what he does and takes it very seriously. He visited the venue ahead of the big day to get an idea of lighting and best areas to do photos and the day of he arrived promptly to set up and was ready to go at the time we discussed. We not only had a lot of fun with it, our pictures turned out beautiful. He is very creative and professional, with the tools and knowledge to show how awesome our day was. I’m so happy we chose Brian to capture our special day!

Brian is an excellent photographer. I loved his creative vision for our wedding day and his pictures reflected that vision.
Brian is very talented and wonderful to work with. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable. We actually had fun taking pictures. I never have fun taking pictures. He was also super responsive through the whole process, which is very important for brides and all the planning we have to do.
Highly, highly recommend!

Brian is truly the best! He is not only extremely talented and dedicated to his work, he is also amazing to work with! He was very kind and patient and made sure to keep us updated from day one and on until we got our pictures. He worked with us to ensure he understood the moments and feelings we wanted to capture through our pictures the most and he delivered on that 100%. He captured our engagement and wedding photos so well and really captured the vibes of the entire day! Looking through the pictures really felt like re-living the best day of our lives! As a bride, one of the things I appreciated about Brian the most is how calm and focused he was throughout the wedding day. Anytime I felt stressed about potentially being off of the timeline, he always reassured me that we would be fine and I cannot explain how much I appreciated his calm presence. We got the pictures back so fast and the quality is amazing!! He is so very talented and we definitely recommend him to all of our friends and family!!

Brian was fantastically professional and his photos came out tip top. Hired for engagement (trial) and wedding photos. What impressed me most was that he scouted the park in the preceding days of our engagement photos and already had some great ideas for shots. Same with our wedding venue. He made communications stress free and straight forward.
Most importantly his photos came out phenomenally. You will immediately see the photos have great editing with well thought out cropping and tweaks to light/color/background or foreground objects. Very artistic and experimental but will a solid core of traditional shots as well.
We opted to have him design a book for our wedding and it was beautifully constructed & formatted.
Would we work with him again? For sure without hesitation. Highly recommend. Massive step above the lackluster work of photographers that are mere company employees. Will be looking to him again for family/baby photos in the future.

Brian is an incredible photographer and outstanding vendor. I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to hire him as our wedding photographer. Not only did the photos turn out beautifully, but it was a pleasure to work with him on the wedding day. Throughout the entire experience, I felt like Brian would really take care of us in case something went awry - and even if it didn't and there was just something we needed. I have no reservations in recommending him to anyone.
A few things I really appreciated about working with Brian:
1. When I initially called Brian, I got to speak directly with him to see how we communicated and worked together. Most of the other places I called had a front-end business person answering the phones, discussing the wedding plan, and then assigning a photographer. I appreciated working directly with Brian from day 1. He made time for phone calls from me throughout the whole process, and made us feel like a priority.
2. Brian was flexible with rescheduling our engagement session due to weather, and I felt like this was different than many studios who had said that the engagement session would happen on the scheduled day and time, rain or shine.
3. Brian is fun to work with! There were often times where he got inspired in the moment and very excited about the potential of location, lighting, etc. It's delightful to work with someone who really cares about what he's doing and about the couple. He never treated us like a job - he treated us like human beings who he wanted to create something beautiful for.
4. The second photographer Brian hired to work with him was also a great photographer. I loved that she was very skilled and acted as a second photographer rather than an assistant.
5. Brian gathered people for photos decisively, yet politely. He has an uncanny ability to blend into the background when needed, but also to direct people without being overbearing. He kept people informed about when he needed them, and he kept family portraits moving along very efficiently.
6. Brian made our wedding and our photos all about us. I've been a bridesmaid several times with photographers who are quite loud and overbearing, and they make the wedding photos about them. Or, some photographers are too sheepish to say what they need. Brian balances perfectly in the middle ground.
7. We were given space as a couple to relax and take laid back candid photos without feeling like we had to pose and look at the camera the whole time. Brian was excellent at telling us when we were taking a posed picture, and when we could relax and talk to each other while he adjusted camera settings or just wanted to give us time to ourselves.
8. Brian was incredibly open to other people's ideas. The second photographer suggested a few shots which turned out beautifully, and Brian responded enthusiastically. My husband and I were tired at one point and sat down in chairs on the opposite side of the room (being silly). Brian was inspired by it and took one of our favorite photos of the entire wedding - completely unplanned. My husband made a few suggestions which Brian ran with, too.
7. Brian was incredibly quick to return our photos to us. He also designed a wedding album for us, and I really appreciated that he was responsive and helpful even when I procrastinated on making decisions.
8. Overall, Brian was a delight to work with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Brian shot a friend's wedding and after seeing the photos I knew we had to book him for ours as well. Brian does such an amazing job of capturing the emotions of the day. I feel like I can relive the moments just by looking at the photos. We've recieved so many compliments on how beautiful the photos turned out and have gotten multiple comments that Brian really captured mine and my husband's personalities. Brian is a true artist and is incredibly easy to work with. Some of the photos literally made our jaws drop they were so good! We are SO happy we booked him!

We are so, so happy that Brian was able to do the photography for our wedding. He was extremely professional and truly committed to getting the best photos possible, even touring our venues with us beforehand so that he could plan better. On the day of our wedding, he was so much fun to work with and helped make the day special and as low-stress as possible. He was very friendly and felt like part of our wedding rather than a stranger. When we got our photos back, they were absolutely stunning. Our reception venue had some unique aspects that I'm sure made it difficult to photograph, but Brian did an amazing job of capturing all of the important moments, and even turned some of the challenges like low lighting into beautiful pictures. We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. If you are anywhere near Cincinnati, I honestly can't recommend Brian enough. He went above and beyond our hopes in every way.

Brian Vuyancih was the first vendor I hired when planning our wedding and, boy, what a great choice that was! Throughout the different wedding planning stages, Brian was great to work with and communicated very easily and quickly with me in regards to plans and questions. On the wedding day he was punctual, thorough in capturing our requested moments, and all around awesome to work with! He impressed everyone in the wedding party so much that this is what my sister/Matron of Honor had to say about him upon seeing our "Sneak Peek" photos: "WOOOOOWWOOWOWOWOW. I hope you guys write Brian an amazing google review or whatever he uses because he was amazing - patient, efficient, and creative - these photos are so gorgeous." She took the words right out of my mouth! I could not write a more glowing review of Brian and his work. I'm beyond excited to see the rest of the photos from our wedding day!

Brian is amazing to work with! We are extremely happy we used him as our wedding photographer. We are glad we also did the engagement session with him to get to know him. For most of the day I forgot he was there on our wedding day because he snuck around (in a good way) and captured all these super special moments for our day. He really told a story of the day through his photos. We didn't just get posed photos from him. We also got candid shots and a lot of shots that describe the details of the day that will help us remember it even more. He is easy to work with. He is punctual and professional. He has really good ideas for posed photos that makes everyone looks great. He is a specialist on lighting. He loves doing photography and it really shows in his work. He always describes how the lighting will work with pictures and picks his locations based on multiple factors to make the photos look the best they can. Booking him as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and 100% would recommend. We are overjoyed with how our photos turned out after the wedding. The turnaround time was pretty quick. All the photos look amazing! He also makes sure there are no issues in getting the photos to you after the wedding. He is there with you through the whole process. Thank you Brian for your amazing work!

I cannot say enough good things about Brian. We found him through a friends wedding and he came highly recommended. He took our engagement photos then did our wedding this past June. We chose the package that included a second shooter and a leather wedding album. We were absolutely blown away by the photos and the wedding album was the best I've ever seen. Not to mention, the turn around was super fast! The pictures were incredibly clear and it's such a nice way to remember the day. He was very easy to work with, responds extremely quickly, and was very professional. My husband and I can't recommend him enough!

Our best wedding decision may have been to hire Brian. Because of the pandemic, a lot of our plans changed, but working with Brian wasn’t one of them. Brian was flexible amid our venue change and he never stopped supporting us throughout the entire process.
Brian put so much thought into our big day, even taking the time to visit the venue ahead of time to better understand the landscape and lighting. We also loved working with Brian’s second photographer, Barry. Barry’s experience and personality added the perfect creative spark to capture some amazing choreographed and candid shots.
We don’t know what to say other than you won’t regret working with Brian. We can’t stop looking at our photos and I have no doubt he’d do the same for you.

My husband and I enjoyed working with Brian, he was very engaged and provided excellent photos of our wedding! Brian set up a time to see the venue prior to our wedding so we were prepared the day of. Brian provided us a sneak peek of a few photos the night of our wedding, it was very exciting to view them the same night. He did a great job of capturing the moments, viewing the photos is as if we are back to the night of our wedding. Brian truly cares about capturing all the important moments during our special day. Thank you Brian for providing us amazing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.

My husband and I loved working with Brian as he was very professional and provided excellent photos of our wedding! He set up time to visit the venue before our wedding to become familiar with it, and had excellent communication. One thing that sets Brian apart is that he provided around 10 photos from our wedding that very night, and the rest of the gallery within the week. He pays attention to detail, and is thorough in adjusting for the best light. Brian was affordable, even with having a second photographer. Brian also prints photos, and was able to deliver us a large print (of our family at the wedding) the day after as a birthday gift to my mom -- needless to say she was speechless.

We hired Brian for both our engagement photos and for our wedding. He went above and beyond for both! For our engagement photos, we ended up having to reschedule twice because of the weather. When we finally were able to do them, he had already been to the location and had picked out multiple, beautiful locations. He was so patient with us and gave great directions and feed back.
For our wedding, we ended up having to completely change our original plans due to covid. Like always Brian was more than happy to roll with the punches. He even made more than one special trip out to our new location and the surrounding area.
On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and was ready to go! He wasted no time in getting to business and because of that I have some amazing pictures of me and my girls laughing and having the best time getting ready. Brian was able to work quickly ( it was a little bit warm that day) and make sure that everyone was in the correct formation, so we could get back inside to the air conditioning. For every single photo configuration that I wanted, Brian double checked and made sure that we had it. I'm pretty sure he didn't stop moving for the entire reception, or at least thats what it seemed like!
I would highly recommend going with him for your big day, I know we plan on using him in the future as our family grows! From start to finish Brian was quick about responding to emails or phone calls. And the turn around time for the photos was superb, as it turns out I'm not as patient as I once thought I was, so that was a big selling point for me!
You will not be disappointed if you choose Brian for any of your photo needs!

Brian did a phenomenal job in capturing all the highlights and emotions of my daughter’s wedding in downtown Cincinnati. His attention to detail is unmatched, all without intruding in the flow of events throughout the day/night. His communication with us was always punctual and made for a seamless wedding. Absolutely LOVED receiving the sneak/preview photos the NEXT DAY which were absolutely stunning and received hundreds of accolades from viewers on social media. Brian even went the extra mile and printed out a large family photo from the wedding which was presented to me the next day on my birthday… It was fabulous! My son is getting married in eight weeks in a different city, and I only wish that Brian would be shooting his wedding as well because his photos and professionalism are unmatched!

I can’t say enough good things or fully express how beautiful our pictures are! After having to change our May wedding last minute due to the pandemic, my fiancé and I were back in the hunt for a new photographer. Based on reviews, we contacted Brian and after seeing previous weddings he captured we both knew we had to book him! Brian was so accommodating and helpful as we worked to create a backyard, COVID friendly wedding (our third attempt at a 2020 wedding). Not only did he work with us every step of the way and answer any and all questions we had, but he captured the most beautiful pictures! It was an incredibly hot day and he stuck with it with a smile and and got every shot we wanted. But the candid moments were the ones we truly cherish! They were all so incredibly beautiful and captured each moment so perfectly. The sequence of our wedding, everyone’s spirits and joy are all on camera for us to cherish forever. It could not have been a better experience and I highly recommend Brian to anyone planning an event! He’s awesome!!

Brian is the ABSOLUTE best photographer around! We were blessed to have him as our photographer for our engagement session photos and on our wedding day on July 17th. I continuously receive compliments about the photos that he took and edited for our wedding. The way he is able to capture "real moments" allows you to feel the exact emotion you were feeling in the photo being captured. Working with him throughout the wedding planning process was easy and communication with him was phenomenal. He never let me hanging with questions or concerns that I had. Also want to mention how quickly we received our photos back from our wedding. You can tell Brian is passionate about his work and loves what he does, which is why his photography skills are extraordinary. He will definitely be a photographer I will continuously recommend for anyone, for any occasion, and will have him perform any future photos I may need down the road.

If we could give Brian more than five Stars we would! You could just tell how much he loved the craft and how excited he was to take every photo! His assistant was amazing too! We only have our sneak peak back so far and our jaws hit the floor! We can not wait to get the rest back, we will even be paying him to print a few so we can get them framed as gifts!
When we start our family he will be our family photographer with out a second thought!
1000% Hire Brian, you will not be upset.

Brian did such a fantastic job capturing our day! He went above and beyond to make sure that we got the pictures we wanted. He visited the venue with us beforehand to help scout out photo op's and payed attention to every detail. Brian nailed down everything surrounding our photo's from angles, to lighting, to when the sun was setting and the best spots to utilize the natural light. He was an absolute God send doing all the hard work for us which took a large portion of stress away from planning the rest of the day! If your looking for someone who's flexible, goes the extra mile and is willing to guide you along the way Brian is definitely your man!

He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and all of the pictures turned out fantastic because of it. He had super quick turnaround time on getting us the edited images and they perfectly captured our day. He was upfront about pricing and what to expect, always responded to questions quickly, and was all around a great person to work with. He went above and beyond what we expected and even our guests and family commented on what a hard worker he is. If we had to do it all over again, we would choose Brian every time.

I was so impressed at my brothers wedding by Brian, not only was he punctual, professional, and took amazing pictures, but his personality and ability to "see" special moments and turn them into heartfelt memories is the best thing a photographer can do. Brian did this many of times for us and I'm grateful to him for that. He's also very compassionate and patience. My father has Alzheimer's and it isn't an easy task to get a picture of him, Brian was GREAT and it shows that he loves what he does!

Brian’s work is second to none. He sees things others don’t and knows exactly how to make your wedding pictures look like one in a million. He’s easy to work with and knows how much it means to the bride to capture the moment.

it was a great experience for me and my family to have a professional take pictures of the most memorable day for my daughter. He was on point with everything he did. They turned out better than I could have imagined. Very nice work.

Brian didn’t stop from morning to night on one of the hottest days in August. His photos captured the day perfectly! From the professional shots to his candid shots - he is the BEST!!!!!

Beautiful pictures.The sunset ones with hills in the background look like ones in a bride magazine. So patient and took so many photos. Beautiful before and after ceremony pictures. Captured so many special moments we didn't even know he was taking pictures of.
So very kind and understanding with my husband,the grooms father,who suffers from Alzheimer's. Pictures that captured his inner self that will remain extra special for us forever.Best photographer by far of any of my children's weddings.We can't thank Brian enough!

Brian catches those images you don’t get when you are so involved in the wedding. His techniques are fresh and just make you say “Wow!” Everyone always looks so relaxed and he keeps everyone calm. He is not a Bossy photographer who only wants to get certain shots. He gets the photographs OF the moment.

Brian was fantastic. From Day 1, we knew we had picked the right person to take our pictures on our wedding day. Brian was extremely cooperative, attentive, and fun to spend time with. Brian brought a great mix of his own expertise/knowledge along with making the best shots out of what my wife and I wanted on our wedding day. I would 100% recommend Brian to anyone in need of a photographer!

I honestly can NOT say enough good things about Brian. He always beat us to meetings. He came with his notepad and wrote down specific details of things we wanted or ideas we had to make sure we were heard. Honestly Brian felt like a friend during this process. He made us feel heard and wasn't over bearing or pushy with pictures. He let things happen naturally and caught all the best moments of our wedding. He also worked so hard to ensure we got the one picture we really wanted which was a nighttime shot with the city skyline in the background--its our favorite picture now! We stayed up for hours going through all the pictures he took of our day over and over because they were so good. I cannot stress enough how happy we were that we found him for our wedding day!

If I could give 100 stars I would. I can't come close to explaining how amazing Brian was the entire day and even leading up to the day of our wedding. Our venue was at McCoy's at Poplar Flat in West Union, OH, which is somewhere that he hadn't shot before. He asked us if we could schedule an evening where we could all visit before the wedding so that he could get a feel for the space and find where the good shots would be. The drive was over an hour - not exactly convenient but he went out of his way to make sure he was prepared.
Brian was so communicative leading up to the wedding and always on top of his game. The day of, he showed up early and stayed in constant communication with me via text which was HUGE. He worked extremely well with our videographer and was so sweet with all of our guests. He made sure that he got every shot, every candid moment and every tear and I'll tell you, I couldn't be more grateful that we chose him to be our photographer.
I didn't expect to receive our photos for another month or two but he surprised me A WEEK AND A HALF LATER with all of our edited photos! That turnaround time is unheard of...just amazing. He worked so hard all day in the heat with the bees and humidity to make sure he got just what we wanted. He had me write out a list ahead of time of people that I wanted to get pictures with to ensure that nobody was missed. We had asked Brian specifically to get lots of pictures of my husband and his father who has Alzheimer's and can be tricky to work with to get pictures of. Brian was outstanding with him! He got so many great photos that our family will cherish forever.
I can't rave about Brian Vuyancich Photography enough. I'll recommend him time and time again and I already can't wait to schedule our next session with him. 100 stars!

Brian's work was absolutely incredible from start to finish in every way! Our experience with Brian was unmatched and truly made our day spectacular. From engagement photos, to the big day, to creating the most beautiful wedding albums, Brian's artistic expertise and natural talent radiated. He was able to lead our large group to make sure we got all of the best shots in a timely manner, as well as working a wedding of over 300 guests. Most impressive, however, was that he was truly able to catch all the little moments and the personalities of nearly everyone there! I couldn't believe how well his photography helped to replay the whole day. Looking through the hundreds of bright, detailed, and crisp photos was better than watching a movie of the wedding. Brian's photos caught laughs, smiles, tears, and nearly every other special moment- which could have been easily overlooked in such a busy day. We would not have such a beautiful collection of photos without Brian's impeccable attention to detail. And of course, I have to highlight Brian's amazing customer service. He went above and beyond the role of professional photographer as he helped me to calm down before the big reveal, even as tears were rolling. Without Brian's lasting patience and care, the day could have gone totally haywire. I'm still amazed with how well he was able to orchestrate it all! I'd also like to highlight the action shots the Brian took at the reception. Without ever "being in the way" or detracting from the big moments, Brian was right there getting every shot! I'm not sure if that is the best way to describe it- but somehow he was always there at the right times without being noticed or taking the best views from the wedding guests. He worked quickly and diligently. The unmatched professional customer service did not end after the wedding though! He had beautifully edited sample photos for us within 2 hours after the event ended! And his editing- also incredible!- he was able to remove ugly orange barrels and blemishes without anyone ever knowing! Brian made a wonderful and easily accessible wedding photo website that made online sharing and ordering so easy! All of our friends and family were so impressed by how nice he had everything laid out for us. We were even able to order gorgeous, top of the line photo albums from Brian. Brian carefully curated wedding albums that will forever highlight every moment of the wedding. His artistic vision created four unique albums that are a true pleasure to look at!
Overall, I can't sing enough praises for Brian's photography work. In fact, I'd like to shout it across mountains. Any bride would be so lucky to have Brian as her photographer, because I know his pictures are nothing but STUNNING.
Thank you so very much to Brian for all of his hard work- from scouting out the church and reception hall before hand, to pushing through cold temperatures for engagement photos, to dealing with our wacky group, to being oh-so patient with us as we picked photos for our albums, to designing and re-designing the most beautiful books. Our love story would not have been captured so wonderfully without Brian's all around excellent work. Thank you! And I cannot wait to see more brides post their photos from Brian Vuyancih Photography!

I am not even sure that words can do justice to the incredible experience we had with Brian. He was kind, professional, thoughtful, creative and even helped me to laugh off the ugly cry. He was dedicated to understanding my style and preferences and truly it shows in the work he produced. We had a large wedding party and he was able to capture both beautiful photos where we were all smiling at the camera and also amazing candid photos that show our personalities. He even got my husband to smile in pictures instead of making goofy faces (hard to do! lol).
My husband and I joke about finding reasons to book him again - are 6 month anniversary photos a thing?? If you are looking for a photographer that is the whole package from personality, comfortability and final product, look no further. Book him!

I used Brian for my 40th birthday bash 7 years ago and my pictures were great then. I recommend him to do the wedding for my best friend’s daughters wedding on 5-10-19. The photos turned out beautiful! Brian was on-time, professional, and very courteous. He has such talent especially with outdoor wedding scenes. His pricing is so reasonable. Not only did he capture astonishing photos of the bride and groom, but photos of our beautiful city Cincinnati!

Brian did such an amazing job!! I was on the fence about even hiring a professional photographer for our backyard wedding, but in hindsight I am SO glad that I did! His enthusiasm and dedication was so impressive and comforting from the start! He was extremely flexible with my busy schedule and stayed one step ahead of me the whole time! It can be difficult to find vendors to accommodate the nontraditional events... but Brian nailed it! We had a game plan for basically every possible outcome rain or shine, and he followed through 100% He was so excited and full of fun ideas that I found myself excited for the rain!
Long story short, I've only seen my sneak peek so far (amazing of course!) but just based on such an AMAZING overall experience, I highly recommend him!🙌

I couldn't say enough positive things about Brian. He went above and beyond for our wedding photos. He is very personable, communicates in a timely manner, and very ambitious about his photography. It was so nice to have a photographer passionate about what they were doing! We received 450+ photos back within less than 2 weeks and they all looked amazing! I am highly satisfied with the results I was given. I will definitely be using in the future and recommend to family and friends.

Brian did a phenomenal job showing the true personality, love and excitement of my daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding day! He captured the feelings... which, in itself, says volumes about Brian. He was flexible with the family needs to get specific pictures and he captured the fun going on with the people who enjoyed the wedding and reception. Thank you Brian for listening, coordinating and attending to our photo needs. Brian did such a great job that our family has hired him to again capture the fun of my niece’s wedding this summer! 😊

As the Maid of Honor and the bride's sister I was so appreciative for a photographer like Brian. The big day and the beautiful setting was perfectly captured with his expertise. It was clear Brian took into consideration our input while making his own suggestions. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to my family and friends. I can't wait to book him in the future!

I was the bride at the first wedding Brian ever photographed. And for being the first, he did such a wonderful job! Very professional, on time and understanding of what we wanted. He was great at coming up with different ideas for pictures and I couldn’t be more happy with how the pictures turned out! They were so beautiful!! It was such a pleasure to be his first clients. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again in the future. :)
