About this vendor
Taking photos has always been SO much more than just pressing a button to me. It’s been a doorway for me to express my creativity, and create a one of a kind experience for people like you! When we work together, you’re no longer a client, but a friend, and I believe that’s how it should be. I wanna run around in places that mean the world to you, laugh until we pee our pants, and tell that’s what she said jokes haha! I want this experience + your photos to mean something, and that’s why this is so much more than a job to me. I want you to be able to feeeel your photos the way you lived each moment, and I want your photos to become a family heirloom you pass down for generations to come. It would be an honor for me to join you two on one of the happiest days of your lives!

We hired Bridgette Wuest Photography for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very first meeting, Bridgette made us feel completely at ease and understood our vision perfectly. She has an incredible ability to capture beautiful, candid moments that truly reflect the love and joy of the day.
As a same-sex couple, we especially appreciated how Bridgette made us feel comfortable and welcomed. She created a safe, inclusive space where we could be ourselves, and she was so thoughtful in ensuring that our experience was as seamless and special as possible. She was incredibly patient working with our large family for the many family portraits we had. She kept everything organized and fun, even with a big group, making sure everyone looked great without feeling rushed.
And let’s not forget her *certified emergency bow tie-tying skills*—she saved the day when we needed a little help with the bow ties!
Bridgette’s professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to work with. Every time we look at our photos, we’re reminded of the most magical day of our lives. We highly recommend Bridgette to any couple looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. Thank you, Bridgette!
If you're currently on the hunt for the perfect wedding photographer, stop right now and choose Bridgette!!! I recently had the pleasure of having Bridgette Wuest as the photographer for one of the most important days of my life - my wedding. From the moment Bridgette arrived, it felt like she was not only a professional photographer but also my new best friend and ultimate hype woman. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and the experience she provided.
From the first time we connected, Bridgette exuded a warm and friendly energy that made me feel instantly at ease. She truly took the time to get to know me and understand my preferences and vision.
Throughout my wedding day, Bridgette's talent and creativity shone brilliantly. She showed an incredible eye for detail, capturing every significant moment and emotion without ever feeling intrusive. With each snap of her camera, she magically preserved the fleeting glances, the shared laughter, and the overwhelming joy of our wedding day. Our favorite photos so far have been from a sunset photoshoot, which we almost decided to skip after living in the moment a little too much with guests. Thankfully, Bridgette was there to talk some sense into us because we would have had major regrets if we did not stick with our plan to take sunset photos with our dog. These ended up being our best photos from the day that we will be hanging on our wall!
Bridgette's awesomeness didn't stop at simply being an incredible photographer. She went above and beyond to make sure that everything about our day was perfect. She celebrated with us, danced with us, and even acted as an impromptu hype woman to keep everyone's spirits high. Bridgette effortlessly blended into the crowd, making everyone feel comfortable and ensuring every shot reflected the energetic and vibrant atmosphere of the day.
Bridgette's dedication to ensuring that every moment was captured beautifully extended beyond the wedding day itself. Her editing skills are second to none. The preview photographs she provided exceeded all expectations. I can’t wait to see the full photo gallery in a few weeks!
To say that Bridgette Wuest is a phenomenal photographer falls short of describing her exceptional talent and the incredible experience she provides. She is a true artist who not only captures stunning images but also becomes a trusted and cherished friend during the process. Bridgette's ability to make me feel beautiful and confident is a gift that I will forever be grateful for. If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will go the extra mile, bring out your true self, and make you feel like the most amazing person on your wedding day, look no further than Bridgette Wuest. She will not only capture the beauty and love of your wedding but also elevate the entire experience with her infectious energy and genuine friendship.
Words can not describe HOW FLIPPIN AMAZING BRIDGETTE WUEST truly is. I can not even believe how flawless our pictures have turned out. She made our day flow so easily and was the absolute sweetest to work with. I could not imagine a better photographer to capture our day. Thank you Bridgette for everything we truly are the luckiest🩷🎉🎉🎉🎉
Everyone needs Bridgette for their engagement, elopement, and wedding photos!! She and my fiancé planned a surprise proposal photo shoot and I cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out… Bridgette is pure magic!
My fiancé and I went through our gallery and neither one of us could keep the biggest smile from our face and cry the happiest tears reliving the best day of our lives together. Bridgette captured every single moment together so beautifully, I can’t even pic my top fifty favorite pictures because every single one is so perfect! We can’t thank Bridgette enough for her thoughtfulness and attention to detail during our shoot. I feel so grateful that we will have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives together and we cannot wait to have Bridgette as our photographer on our wedding day!
Bridgette has an incredible talent and I will be happily recommending her to anyone that ever needs a photographer!
UPDATE:
We hired Bridgette again as our wedding photographer and are sooo thankful we did. We thought our engagement photos were stunning- we had no idea just how amazing our wedding pictures would be too! Bridgette was helpful in so many ways from basically building our entire timeline from scratch, giving me a call or shooting me an email every time a question popped up, scoping out the venue ahead of time, and paying attention to every little detail on the day of (like fixing my train, having people button their jacket for pictures, taking phones out of pockets, etc. we appreciated that SO much).
We could go on and on about how amazing Bridgette has been to work with on both occasions, and again, if you are looking for a photographer please consider her. You will be so thankful you did!
WE LOVE YOU BRIDGETTE🫶🏼
Book Bridgette! She is absolutely incredible start to finish. First, she is very on top of her inquiries and always gets back to you right away at any step in the process. She is super easy to talk to and so knowledgeable (she helped us SO much with our timeline). She creates an amazing client experience and truly spoils you, but most importantly, she completely listened to our creative vision and was totally down for anything we wanted to do to get the perfect photos (she literally climbed a snowy mountain with us in the wind and freezing cold!!) The photos were amazing and she over-delivered on how many photos we got, got us sneak-peaks early, and the photos just captured the day so beautifully! She is the best & I would recommend her to anyone!!
This is the 3/4 time I’ve gone with Bridgette! She’s amazing. The most respectful, kind and easy to work with individual. Bridgette was willing to go above and behind for our shoots. With my engagement shoot, Bridgette was helpful every step of the way. 100% will use her again. If you want to be around someone so positive and high energy, Bridgette is your girl! Thank you so much for everything.
Bridgette is amazing!! We booked her for our engagement photos and we could not be happier with the experience and the photos. She was extremely flexible with her scheduling and was not phased when we asked for sunrise photos starting at 6:15 AM! During the photo shoot, she made us feel so comfortable even though taking pictures is out of our comfort zone. Even when my fiancée was feeling lightheaded she was prepared with water and a granola bar to share, which was so above and beyond her typical job duties!! Most importantly- Bridgette is amazing at her job and we could not be happier with our photos. Her editing style is also amazing!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Bridgette and would recommend her to everyone we know in a heartbeat.
Literally the best photographer we could have asked for. She went 1000x above and beyond what a normal photographer would do. She takes the time to learn about you before the ceremony which really personalizes your pictures to the ones you want. I honestly cannot recommend her enough
We cannot say enough GREAT things about Bridgette!! She photographed our elopement in South Lake Tahoe and we could not be happier with our experience with her! She truly made being a covid bride way less stressful and much more special. Also - Her work is AMAZING!!! Every time we look at our wedding photos we are in shock that we have so many special moments she captured. Our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without her fun energy, badass skills and down to earth vibe. When you hire her you are hiring someone who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond! We love her so much and hope to work with her again some day!!
Bridgette is AMAZING.
When our wedding had to be postponed due to COVID in June 2020 we had to find a new photographer. And let me tell you- I’m so so SO glad we found Bridgette. Her work speaks for itself, she is immensely talented and pours her heart into her everything she does.
Aside from that, she is just the coolest person. She helped so much with planning, and everything on the day of (without her we would’ve for sure left our bridesmaids bouquets behind 😬 ). She was incredibly organized and on top of everything and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. Our photos are amazing, and everything I wanted to remember our wedding day.
If you’re considering hiring Bridgette, don’t hesitate! You’ll not only have a great photographer but you’ll also have the best hype woman by your side for your big day!
One of the best photographers in the Reno/Tahoe area!!! Bridgette helped me from day 1 of wedding planning. She provided vendor suggestions, helped me decide on wedding details, and just listened to me when I was feeling worried about something. My wedding day was a dream thanks to Bridgette!! She gave me wedding sneaks the next day and they are AMAZING! Hire Bridgette for your photography needs!! Don’t walk, RUN!!
Not professional and not responsive. We had a photoshoot schedule but Bridgette canceled via text message mid-morning the day of the photoshoot. We responded to Bridgette's text message but did not receive a reply back. We tried calling Bridgette but she would not answer.
We were fully invested in the photoshoot. We scheduled the photoshoot six days prior. We booked our non-refundable hotel and drove to Tahoe already.
Where do I even start, Bridgette is literally the BEST! If you are looking for a wedding or any event photographer, book with HER! We booked Bridgette for our May wedding in 2020, and we literally went through a pandemic together. She reassured us that we would still have our dream day even when we felt like it would never happen! We rescheduled twice because of COVID and she was so supportive and stayed by our side through the entire process. Not only will Bridgette make you cry happy tears when you receive your photos because they are everything you imagined and more! But she grows a relationship with you and is so fun to have at your big day! We are so grateful for Bridgette and could not be happier to have had her to shoot our wedding!
Bridgette is THE BOMB!!!! When I reached out to her originally, all I knew is that I was obsessed with her style and the fact that all of her couples looked so comfortable and genuinely like they were enjoying themselves. Bridgette jumped into action immediately sending ideas, inspiration and was the easiest person to bounce ideas off of.
The shoot could have been a complete disaster (the venue had a fire on the day of our shoot), but Bridgette was so professional (and most importantly kind and understanding) and flexible, rescheduling the shoot for the following day and working with the venue owners to be sure everyone was on the same page.
We then designed the most GORGEOUS album of photos that I will cherish for years to come. Bridgette is so creative and patient and goes the extra step (or 5) to be sure that you're over the moon about the final product.
If you're looking for a photographer, do yourself a favor and book Bridgette!! You won't regret it.
Bridgette did our engagement session. We had our two kiddos with us and the youngest was not having it that day. She did a great job of getting him out of his shell all while making the shoot so much fun for everybody! She was really good at making everyone feel comfortable all while capturing the sweetest moments! We love Bridgette!!!
When looking for a photographer for our elopement, Bridgette came highly recommended by a friend. After spending time browsing her photos, I knew we could not pass up the opportunity to shoot with someone who could capture mine and my husband’s quirky love so well! Bridgette was so accommodating and excited from the first time we spoke. She continued to show the accommodation and excitement through the cold weather during our engagement shoot and wedding day. She goes above and beyond and came so well prepared it made the day a breeze. Her sunny personally and calming effect really helped ease the stress of being in front of the camera. The photos turned out so beautiful, and that is just the icing on the cake during this whole experience. We feel like we became friends with Bridgette and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
Bridgette is like that cousin you haven’t seen in a long time but you pick up right where you left off. We seriously adore her soul and her spunk. Let’s be real, sometimes weddings don’t go 💯 as planned, things happen and you have to just go with it. Bridgette’s energy was more than anyone could ever hope for in the midst of stress and busy timelines. She prioritized getting all the shots we asked for, she mingled so well with all our other vendors I mean this young woman knows what she’s doing. She deserves all the credit in the world not only for her creativity and talent, but for being professional AND personable. You can’t not love her. We are beyond grateful for her patience, warm spirit and flexibility. Can’t wait to book her again - hoping for our 1-year anniversary 🙏🏼💗 we love you Bridge 😘
BRIDGETTE IS THE BEST EVER!!!! Holy crap I’m so in love with every single one of our engagement photos 😍😭 Bridgette seriously made us so comfortable to be our weird selves and captured it so well! I love all of the little moments she captured that really show who we are 😭 my fiancé teared up looking at the photos because they’re just so beautiful and US! So excited to get to look at these photos for the rest of our lives! Bridgette, you’re the freaking BEST!!!
