2022 wedding review update:
3 years have passed since our wedding day...and I still think about what an incredible job Bria did, so I thought I'd leave her a review!
Of course, Bria delivered absolutely gorgeous and artistic photos, as all tal...ented wedding photographers do. But something I appreciate more and more looking back that sets her apart is that Bria’s photos are also very honest — they really captured the “feeling” of that day for us. Through her photojournalistic lens, many intimate tears, smiles, spontaneous reactions and interactions were beautifully captured because we had a present, attentive photographer - shots that might easily have gotten missed by someone else in a rush to snap exclusively “pretty” shots. I have since attended weddings where the photographer took up a lot of space, barked at people to get the ideal shot, never stopped taking flash photos on the dance floor, or otherwise changed the dynamic of how loved ones interacted. Bria’s easeful and unobtrusive presence yet warmth and charisma meant our wedding party and guests felt at ease to engage their experience authentically. This balance showed up in the many emotional, natural, quirky, and artistic photos of our loved ones that I treasure to this day — in addition, of course, to the tons of classic, breathtaking shots she captured with sheer talent and sharp eye for great backdrops, form, and light.
Throughout the nerves of the big day and inevitable small hitches, Bria’s presence was reassuring, confident and kind. I was amazed by the fullness of life her photographs captured when I think about how she never once felt obtrusive to the magical chaos of that day. I can only imagine how Bria has further honed her incredible work in the years since. She really delivers the perfect balance of genuineness yet razor attention to detail, professionalism, and unbelievable artistic talent that lends itself to a day that both looks AND feels amazing.
Go with Bria….thinking about my wedding 3 years later means you won’t regret it!
PS: I highly recommend an engagement shoot with Bria before your wedding to build your bond with her and your confidence as a couple ahead of the wedding day.

Original 2019 engagement session review:
Wow, wow, wow! Our engagement photos from Bria are AMAZING. She is so gifted at photography, and I'm so glad I listened to my gut on working with her to tell our story. What we were most impressed with is how deeply she listened to us. I knew I was looking for an urban engagement shoot, but Bria took even the faintest ideas I had (from stairs photos, to a certain background wall style, to greenery) and made them a reality. I couldn't have scoped out a better variety of spots to suit my aesthetic. Modeling for the first time in our lives was hard because we felt performative and had no idea what we were doing, so to have the photos come out like our authentic, silly, loving selves was really heartwarming. She has an easygoing attitude that puts you at ease yet comes prepared, plus has a very thoughtful eye for all the details. You will be in great hands if you decide to go with her.
Thank you so much, Bria! We will treasure our photos and have so much to work with for our wedding website. Thanks for sticking it out with us in some serious cold too!
