If I could give a higher rating than five stars, I would! Briana exceeded our expectations from start to finish. From our engagement shoot in Portland to our wedding in Joshua Tree...
and a windmill shoot in Palm Springs, she knew exactly what to do and captured every moment perfectly. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the photos. They’re timeless and capture the emotions and energy of the day. Briana’s talent, professionalism, and attention to detail made her the perfect choice. We’re beyond grateful to have these incredible photos to relive such a special time!
INCREDIBLE! Briana was incredibly easy to work with and she made our shoot feel so natural and enjoyable - even as a purely ‘homebody’ queer couple. Briana has an incredible eye fo...

We loved working with Briana and could not be happier with our wedding photos. From our first consultation, we knew that her easy but organized style is what we wanted on our weddi...
ng day. We also wanted someone we felt like we could trust to (1) get everyone where they needed to be for photographs and (2) capture all the photos we wanted of our day. Briana and Andrew we above and beyond on both accounts. After a few check-ins and filling out her comprehensive questionnaire, we felt confident that everything would be taken care of. On the big day itself, Briana and Andrew showed up on time, were very communicative, worked diligently to get everything organized, and did everything without showing an ounce or stress. When they sensed that something needed to happen or noticed that we might want a shot we didn't mention, they asked discretely and made it happen. Before they left for the night, they made sure we had all the shots we wanted. After the wedding, we got our preview quickly and were so thrilled with the quality of the photos. We also loved the reveal session that Briana held to make receiving our full slate of photos so much more special than just getting a link.
Our photos are stunning, perfect memories of all of the best part of our day. They feel authentic to the energy of our wedding and truly capture the vibe of our event and the unique character of our guests. I cannot recommend Briana enough. She is truly a gifted photographer and joy to work with.

o helpful and organized. The photos turned out absolutely amazing! The photo session reveal was so touching and we loved reflecting on our special day with the video Briana put together. Briana really puts a lot of time into making the experience one to remember and the photos captured our day so perfectly. If you want a relatable, nice, calm photographer who is organized and captures the perfect moments, I wouldn't hesitate to book Briana!
Briana photographed our February wedding, and we just received our photos! WOW! They are absolutely spectacular.

From the initial meet and greet to the reveal session, Briana made the experience so intimate and relaxing. Her artistic style aligned with our vision, and we are thrilled with the results!! Don't hesitate with your choice - you will not be disappointed :)

easoned professionals who run the gamut of digital, film, and Polaroid photography. What's more, they lend an adventurous spirit and willingness to "roll up their sleeves"... literally! At one point during the wedding, they masterfully untangled my dress from some thorny branches. You can count on Briana and Andrew to support you before, during, and after your special day. We will treasure their photos for the rest of our lives, and hope you consider working with them!
I was the wedding planner on a wedding that Briana shot in September 2021. I was really impressed by her professionalism and kindness throughout the process. She rolled with the pu...
nches and prioritized the couple. Thank you, Briana! Hope we can work together again soon
Quite honestly, hiring Briana Morrison was the absolute best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. I truly mean that, because looking back on that day almost a year later...
, we remember Briana and Andrew as positive forces that helped us create beauty in the middle of a pandemic. Not only did they share their photography with us, they shared their kindness and compassion. So much so that our guests were shocked to find out that we hadn’t known them as friends for years. If you are looking for a professional photographer for your wedding, event, photoshoot, anything, she is your girl.
We were looking for someone who takes amazing color and black and white shots, someone who finds eclectic/natural/spontaneous beauty, and someone who prioritizes moments, specifically with laughter- and we found that and more with Briana. From our first conversation, she made us feel comfortable. Then we got to work with her and Andrew, and boy oh boy was even better than we could have imagined. They did an incredible job at both our engagement shoot and our wedding. We were very serious about socially-distancing, and creating a memory that kept our loved ones safe, and they helped us deliver that vision. It was a race to the finish to replan a pandemic wedding, and Briana and Andrew rolled with everything, and honestly embraced it with us! Heck yeah picnic! Yard flamingos? Why not?! Two locations? Sure. Not only did Garrett and I feel comfortable just being ourselves with Briana and Andrew, but they encouraged it. They responded to every moment with grace and a ready camera. We got to know them, and it was so personal and wonderful. We couldn't ask for a better photography team to capture the hooligans Garrett and I are. Thank you Briana and Andrew! And for all of you reading, go with Briana Morrison Photography. Trust me.

While planning our wedding, we were looking for an observant photographer that captu...
red genuine moments with a tasteful sensibility — Briana was a perfect fit!
Briana was a pleasure to work with, and she made a point to get to know us. Generously, Briana included an engagement shoot with the package as well as complimentary gifts and prints before and even after the wedding. And despite being based in Portland, she made the roughly 3 hour trip up to Seattle for our engagement shoot and wedding.
Throughout the process, we were constantly impressed by her professionalism and responsiveness. At the start, Briana clearly outlined a roadmap for the months and days leading up to the wedding. And despite how hectic the day of our wedding was, Briana kindly kept us on track while photographing us and our families in various locations around Seattle.
We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Briana for any engagement shoot and wedding photography needs!
Miles beyond expectation. Briana is so professional, she inspires me to be better at MY job!
Professionalism: Early on, we narrowed our choices to two photographers. One in Boston...
with incredible artistic talent. Briana was more professional and polished. Our meetings were promptly scheduled and efficiently conducted. This proved to be massively important. As romanticized as weddings are, they are large, expensive events more similar to the execution of a project deliverable. We wanted a professional with an artistic flair. Not an artist with some professional skills.
Art: My partner wanted an artistic and unique touch. Briana introduced some film photography that was incredible. The polaroids were fun and the film photography was groovy. Yes. Groovy.
Attitude: I was constantly impressed by Briana’s positive attitude, which helped us stay on course. Even through COVID, as things were becoming delayed and even cancelled, she brought a positive attitude that kept things fun and optimistic. At times, I felt like she was more excited about our wedding than us. At times, she was.
I did not find the wedding planning process to be a fun experience. Working with Briana made it an efficient experience. She allowed us to focus on our priorities, including each other.
I would recommend Briana in a heartbeat.
Briana and her husband were amazing to work with! So professional, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the entire experience. They were able to capture the photos we really wanted (...
and some we didn't even know we wanted). They made the day seem so smooth to have people photograph you during one of the most intimate situations. Highly recommend the follow up design session (even during a Pandemic online) for input and incredible digital craftsmanship where the output is beautiful. We are so incredibly happy to have gotten Briana and her Hubby to not just photograph the wedding, but embrace the experience with us. They are incredible at what they do, and we could not be happier with our experience. Thank you so much Briana!
-The Newlyweds, Jeff and Sarah
Briana is the perfect combination of personal and professional. We live abroad but her clear communication and organization made things super easy. She is knowledgeable, flexible, ...
and always willing to listen to your ideas while lending her expertise when necessary. She has an incredible eye and unique style. We are extremely happy with her work and our families continue to compliment our photos. You won't regret choosing her. What are you waiting for? Book her for your engagement or wedding today!
Our experience with Briana was amazing! She went above and beyond with her attention to detail and captured us at our most vulnerable and authentic states. She had a laundry list o...
f questions for our wedding day in order to capture all of the photos that We didn't even know we'd want post-wedding. There are so many things that go into what she does and she excels at all of them. If you're looking for an amazing down-to-earth photographer who puts in all of her effort she has into making sure that you have photos that depict you how you want to be perceived, then Briana's your gal!
From the first phone call I had with Briana, I knew I instantly wanted her to do our wedding photos. Her lightheartedness, organization, and attention to detail helped make our wed...
ding day easy and enjoyable from start to finish. From our first meeting to our reveal session, Briana added many thoughtful touches in her business style that left us feeling valued and special. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family for high quality, candid wedding photos!
My husband and I loved working with Briana for our engagement and post-wedding adventure shoot. She has an incredible talent and captured our love in such a beautiful and authentic...
way. My husband, who has never been professionally photographed before, came away from each session saying how much fun he had and how glad he was to have Briana as our photographer. When we did an in-person reveal for our wedding adventure photography, I was moved to tears by the beauty of Briana's work. She doesn't stop at simply taking pictures; she works hard to elevate the experience for her couples and doesn't neglect little details that make the couple feel special. Thank you Briana!
My wife and I are so beyond happy that we chose Briana as our photographer for our wedding! We planned our Portland wedding from Germany, where we currently live, which wasn’t ea...
sy to do. Briana was very comfortable to talk to and put us at ease right away, and we never felt judged for the unconventional or non-traditional aspects of our wedding or personal story. Making one bride happy and calm is hard to do, but catering to two brides and making them both feel special, takes talent! She was experienced in shooting an LGBT+ wedding, and loved that we chose to have a pagan style handfasting ceremony. She helped us with details of our wedding timeline and gave us some suggestions to make a few things easier on us. She tailored a photography package for us that included all the important things we wanted and fit within our budget. Once we arrived in Portland, she met with us and our wedding planner in person and worked out all the details, which really made us feel like we were in good hands. The day of, with the help of her amazing husband Andrew, they got familiar with the venue and coordinated with our videographer on getting all the amazing shots we asked for. Briana was everywhere during the wedding, capturing the magical moments in our ceremony, the wonderful energy of our guests during the reception, and catching some beautiful and natural portraits of us with family and friends. Our bride/bride photoshoot overlooking the Columbia River Gorge was breathtaking and we can’t wait to have so many of these photos displayed in our home for years to come. We have recommended Briana to some of our friends, and hope to work with her again in the future when we return to Oregon.
Briana’s photos of our wedding are an absolute treasure. They are so beautiful, so “human”. They capture the spirit of the day in an incredible way! The lighting & colors are amazi...
ng - but I am most impressed with her framing & ability to find & capture special moments. It is so fun to look through them & see so many of our favorite people captured so beautifully!
Briana was great to work with - very professional but also so friendly & casual. She did a great job of helping us to feel comfortable during our engagement shoot & by the time our wedding came around we were so comfortable with her, it was like having a friend shoot our wedding. Many of our guests commented on how our photographers (she had a 2nd shooter with her) did a great job of placing themselves where they weren’t “in the way” during the ceremony & beyond. They were very respectful of the moment & maintained a cool, collected energy throughout they day. I appreciated her pacing during family photos as well - she moved quickly & casually & the pictures all feel very natural - not stuffy or too formal. I would highly recommend Briana again to my next friend getting married!
Briana is the best. We hired her for our wedding photography, and it couldn't have been a better choice. She perfectly captured all the moments - both big and small - from our day ...
and was able to do so very efficiently. You won't have to spend hours holding a smile for the same shot. Briana is able to get the photo she needs right away and then move on to capturing the next. We loved her documentary style of photography and are so pleased with how everything turned out. Plus, she is a true delight to work with.
I can't think of enough great things to say about Briana! Her photos absolutely blew us away. She captured so many beautiful moments and is especially skilled at capturing those li...
ttle candid moments that you'll want to remember forever. She was such a joy to work with, we got so many comments from family and people in our wedding party about how sweet and professional she was. She knows just how to make things fun and comfortable in what can be a stressful situation. She was very helpful in planning which photos we were going to take and when. We decided to go offsite to take some photos on her recommendation and I am so glad we did. I was nervous about getting my dress and shoes dirty at the park we took photos at and there was one moment where I stepped in a bunch of dirt and it got all over my shoe and I started panicking. Briana knew just how to handle it, she really goes the extra mile to make the photos and the day the absolute best it can be! Her dedication to capturing love is absolutely amazing and beautiful. The photos will bring us so much joy for a lifetime to come and I can't imagine the photos or our experience with her being any better. She has a special talent for capturing love!
100% RECOMMEND! I talked to a bunch of different photographers in planning my wedding, but Bria stood out with her balance of professionalism and super funky fun BEFORE we had even...
chosen her. We were simply floored with how she handled everything and the little things she did to celebrate with us and make us feel truly special. The person she is totally translates into the lovely photos she produces. Words don't even describe how grateful we were that we chose her for our wedding!
Briana was a joy to work with! We chose her because we loved the candid style of her photos and felt like she captured so many perfect little moments. We are so glad we did!! We di...
d an engagement shoot with her first and she made us feel soooo comfortable. I was really nervous and feel pretty awkward in front of a camera and by the end I felt like a professional model. I was so glad we practiced because on the day of the wedding we felt like Briana was an old friend—although we probably would have felt that way anyway ;) During the ceremony we literally never noticed her or her husband (who we hired as the second photographer) but then got such incredible photos. Throughout the day they were so professional and blended into the crowd, popping up every once in awhile to gently guide us to take certain photos we wanted or make sure we were on track. They were so fun and easy to work with and made us laugh so many times. The photos are absolutely incredible. We get so many compliments on them. They captured some of the most memorable moments of the wedding but also so many unexpected moments and beautiful details of the decor and the venue. And the whole process was so professional—she included so many thoughtful touches like sending us little goodie boxes along the way. Sooo glad we hired Briana. It was a wedding decision done right!!
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, Br...
ia delivered absolutely gorgeous and artistic photos, as all talented 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!
I couldn't recommend a better wedding photographer! I had heard amazing things about Briana's photography, and had even looked at her website many times and thought there was no wa...
y we could afford her, but I was happily surprised when she was able to customize a package that fit our budget, and trust me when I say it was worth every penny! Briana is extremely detail oriented and she is so much fun to be around. She made us feel so comfortable and my wedding pictures really turned out better than I could have hoped for! She is extremely kind and genuinely cares about each client! She captured the true essence of our love and wedding and I am forever grateful for her dedication and hard work! If you are looking for the best of the best, you would be so lucky to have her on your wedding day!!!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Briana! She made us feel immediately comfortable and felt like a friend after the first few minutes. She was incredibly thoughtful an...
d professional as a photographer, and she has an incredible eye for detail. We felt like she was able to truly capture us as a couple, and her guidance helped us open up even more which made for amazing photos. We will definitely be reaching back out in a few years so that she can photograph our engagement and wedding! We love Briana and her work, and highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone to capture memorable moments in a natural and beautiful way.
Bria did our engagement shoot and we had such a fun day! Her and her husband did our wedding and were wonderful. They captured so many wonderful memories for us!
Briana was so great to work with! We did a lifestyle shoot with her after we’d been married for almost five years. She took the time to adventure around San Diego with my husband a...
nd I, (and our pup!) to capture our little family unit in a few of the places we love most. She has such an easy-going personality that really made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I would have recommended Briana solely on the lovely photoshoot experience we had with her that day, but then when our images came back, there was no way I could resist singing her praises. I was in awe! She made us look GOOD! I wish I’d found her five years earlier - I would have hired her for our wedding!
These will always be some of our favorite snapshots of us. I hope to have Briana come back throughout the years as our family grows.
Briana is the best! She made a point to get to know us so that she could capture our love story in a way that truly represents who we are. From the first meeting to our big day, B...
riana was professional, exceptionally helpful with our questions, and all-around, gave us a sense of peace and elation with our choice. She made our guests feel so at ease. Everyone enjoyed her presence; our photos encapsulate this. We had her husband shoot our wedding as well, and he too was just a delight to work with and be around. Overall, we felt like she wasn't there just to capture our special day, she was there to celebrate our love. We both agree that Briana is an exceptional memory maker and we highly recommend her expertise for your big day.
Briana did one of our friends weddings and the photos turned out so beautiful I knew I had to book her the second I got engaged. She went above and beyond for our engagement photos...
despite busy schedules and I could not be happier. I can't wait to see the wedding photos! Thank you again Briana, you seriously rock.
update for our wedding day:
Briana and her husband we so amazing the day of our wedding. The photos are absolutely incredible and they found a way to make both my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our guests complimented how professional and present they were that day. Briana was always available via email and responded in a timely manner with advice and questions regarding what we were looking for in pictures on our wedding day. Even when we needed to reschedule our wedding day she was helpful and more than accommodating getting us into one of her other coveted weekend spots. I can not say enough wonderful things about her as a photographer and person! Thank you Briana for everything, you are just the best!
Briana is a true artistic photographer! She understands the elements and principles of design. She uses natural lighting to capture the perfect photo. Briana makes you feel very co...
mfortable and at ease. She has the ability to understand her client’s needs and wants. All I asked her to do she made sure to do and pulse more. She does a great job capturing candied photos as the wedding is going on. All the photos tell a story of the wedding day. All the little details were documents. After the wedding day she was so fast in showing some of the photos. The book she put together was highest quality. Both my husband and I were amazing by her work. I highly recommend Briana to capture you special day!
From the beginning Briana is so comfortable and easy to be around. Nothing ever felt 'posed' and she calms any fears and answers any questions, she keep communication up, I never h...
ad to harrass her to get back to me, she was very prompt! I am so incredibly happy that we chose to have our photos taken by Briana.
I had seen her work on her website and her photos are BEAUTIFUL, they tell a story and have so much emotion stored in each one. I cannot think of a better thing to invest in on your wedding.
These are pictures our great grand children will see. These are the kind of pictures you find in your grandma's attic of relatives you never met but feel like you had. Their character is captured in a moment and now we have those of the most important day of our lives. I know I wouldn't have been happy with anyone else!
