HIRE BRITTNEY!! She is really amazing at what she does. The photos she took for our engagement and our wedding are gorgeous, and something we will treasure always. She has a gift for capturing not only the big moments, but all the little ones that really transport you back. We didn't have a videographer but Brittney's documentary style of photography makes me feel as though we did--as I start to make an album, the story of the day shines through so vividly. I have favorited so many photos in the online gallery that I'm not sure I can fit them into one album! She captures all the love, emotions, relationships, setting, and ambience in a real and beautiful way. I am in awe because she captured aspects of my loved one's personalities so perfectly, with no prior context, and now I get to look back on these mementos of them forever. As I told her, looking at the photos even helped me understanding my husband and I in a deeper way. She is professional, hardworking, warm, funny and kind. She is on the move nonstop, juggling multiple cameras, tuned into all the details and heartwarming interactions many wouldn't notice, all while being unobtrusive. Brittney helped us feel comfortable in front the camera and put us at ease more generally throughout our wedding day. We didn't have a coordinator and she kindly assisted with things like pinning my husband's boutonniere, helping us remember our checklist of items to bring to the venue, and keeping track of time. She also surprised us with many lovely photos of the city of New Orleans, where we were married and originally met, getting an early start to the day to be able to include these scenery shots of the surrounding neighborhood. In my view the photographer is one of the most important wedding vendors, and she couldn't be a better choice!
Brittney is a brilliant and charming photographer. She photographed our welcome party, wedding, and a session in Garden of the Gods Park. She has incredible range — capturing the emotion and reunion of our welcome party, the details of our wedding, and some incredible landscape/adventure style shots from our last session. We loved every second working with her and are hoping to work with her again eventually for a family shoot!
We were fortunate to have Brittney as our wedding photographer, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we met her at our engagement pic session, we knew we made the right choice. Brittney is fun, kind, genuine, and a badass behind the camera who makes those in front of her camera feel comfortable and seen. The magic she works results in the most natural and heartfelt pictures.
Brittney beautifully captured the joy, love, and candid fun of our wedding day. Her ability to capture the most intimate moments is truly remarkable. One of the things we loved most about Brittney was her attention to detail. She didn't just focus on the big moments, but also on the little details that made our day unique. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will capture the true spirit of your day, look no further. She has a rare gift for telling a love story through her lens, and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories she has given us.
The photography Brittney does is transforming — her images allow you to vividly relive your favorite moments. For our wedding, Brittney exceeded all expectations. Her work is so skillfully and passionately crafted that she managed to capture something intangible on film… the love that surrounds my husband and I; the love we have for each other, the love we have for our guests, and the love our guests have for us. Brittney’s photography captured every moment (big and small) of the best day of our lives. Not only is her work captivating, but she as an individual is as well. As two people who prefer intimate gatherings and staying on the sidelines, we didn’t expect to feel so comfortable in front of a camera. That said, Brittney has a way of making you feel grounded, at-ease, and confident. You’ll want photos you love 30, 40, 50+ years from now and Brittney will do just that.
My now husband and I were VERY lucky to have met Brittney at a wedding for a friend of mine. Immediately, we were both impressed by her ability to be there to capture *every* special moment of the wedding. Her stealth abilities are unmatched! Seeing her in action at a friend's wedding was only a fraction of how impressive she was as our wedding photographer. She was exceedingly professional, organized, and knew the schedule of events on our wedding day better than my husband or I! Pair all that with a sharp sense of humor and AMAZING photos, we could not have chosen a more perfect photographer!
Choosing Brittney as our photographer was probably the best decision we made when wedding planning. Her professionalism is unmatched and she consistently went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch. We had our wedding on our family farm, imagine backyard wedding but huge and many moving parts. We wanted advice on where to position the ceremony site and Brittney came out to the property to help us determine what would work best for lighting on the day, and go over details and timeline. We knew after our amazing engagement photos that we would love our wedding photos but we never could've imagined the magic images we would be sent so soon after the wedding. At sunset, Brittney and her assistant helped us escape our 200 person reception and walked into the middle of a knee high field of buckwheat with us to capture positively dreamy images that we will cherish forever. From getting all formal photos done before the ceremony to a group photo with 40+, nothing phased Brittney. Her calm demeanor and sense of humor will keep you laughing and relaxed on what can be a high-stress day, and her organization will keep you on track to capture all the memories you want from your wedding. We cannot recommend Brittney enough to anyone!
Brittney did a fantastic job capturing our wedding. Going into the planning process, we quickly learned that our photographer was going to be the person we spent the most time with during the day. For that reason, it was really important to find someone we got along with, and Brittney was a perfect fit -- she is one of the most kind, genuine, and down-to-earth people we've ever met. On our wedding day, she was unflaggingly composed, positive, and organized -- truly a joy to spend time with and be photographed by :)
And her photos speak for themselves – we are so happy with the quality and quantity of photos that she took for us. We love her documentary style and her ability to capture emotion and small interactions so honestly. Brittney went above and beyond to capture special scenes - including being super down to ride the subway with us to our ceremony and photographing our after party.
If you're having an LA or west coast wedding, you must must must speak with Brittney!
We don't know what kind of magic Brittney Raine is working, but somehow she infuses it into her demeanor and professionalism, her laid-back, welcoming personality, and of course her brilliant storytelling through her work. When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we specifically wanted to find someone who could capture the feel of the day over the "perfect" look. What we didn't realize was by capturing every raw, real emotion from the day, we would get the perfect wedding photos! Every picture takes us right back to how we were feeling in the moment - which is so important because the day goes by so fast. She knows what to say and do to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera - it's like hanging out with your best friend! She gives direction when needed, but her pictures look and feel so natural because she lets you be yourself. Looking back on the photos, we were so impressed by how unobtrusive she was in all the special and emotional moments of the day, yet was always there to capture every memory. She is SO professional - never blinking an eye when things ran behind schedule or didn't go as planned - always making you and your family feel at ease. We can't stop talking about how working with Brittney was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. From engagement to wedding photos, we feel so lucky to have found someone so passionate about their work - it truly shows!
Best wedding photographer ever!!! We worked with Brittney for our engagement photos and wedding and could not be happier! She is responsive, personable, and beyond talented. She is such a joy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We cannot recommend her enough!!
Brittney is an amazing photographer! My sister used her for her wedding and I was obsessed with how wonderful her pictures are. I was thrilled she was available for my wedding date! Brittney is very responsive and easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and captures every perfect moment truly telling your story! I couldn't be more happier with her pictures! I would highly recommend using Brittney to tell your story too!
We got to work with Brittney not once, but TWICE in some big ways! We decided to elope in Acadia National Park just the two of us, and it was important to us to find a photographer that was not only talented, but could also be a friend on our day adventuring around. Brittney is all that and more! She knows the perfect balance of guidance and encouraging authentic interactions. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, in a way that we are so so grateful for. The photos from our elopement capture our love and laughter so well it is amazing. At part two (the PARTAY), I was so nervous when I arrived at our venue-- I think just stress about everything coming together--but once we started into portraits with Brittney around the venue all the stress went away. She has an effortless way of making you feel beautiful, and encouraging raw, candid moments that she captures beautifully. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with Brittney, and are constantly impressed with the quality of her work, her kindness, her ability to wrangle our wild family, and her eye for those sneaky, special, candid moments. During the reception, we could feel Brittney was everywhere capturing all the moments, but never felt that she was in the way-- just a seamless part of a wonderful night. If vendor vibes are important to you on your day-- Brittney is perfect!
Brittney is simply the best!!! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is not easy) and her photos left us breathless. She captured all of the small moments we remembered (and some we missed), and every image takes us back to the magical day. We laughed, we cried, we “aww’ed” at every single photo.
Brittney is warm and engaging with a great sense of humor, but is also incredible at blending into the background, capturing amazing moments without anyone noticing her.
She was the absolute perfect photographer for us and we cannot possibly recommend her enough. We want to have another event in the future just to hire her for it. She feels like a friend after knowing her for several years and wedding postponements due to COVID. She was always so helpful and accommodating to our ever-changing dates.
Hands down HIRE BRITTNEY if you can manage to choose a date she is available for! She is a true artist, a beautiful soul, and we are grateful for every image she shot!!!
Brittney is the best of the best! She is so personable, professional and a pleasure to work with. Inclusivity and making all of her couples feel respected and comfortable in their own skin is something that is very important to her. Brittney was so helpful and patient with us as we dealt with the stressful process of postponing our wedding from last year. We ended up having Brittney capture our intimate ceremony on our original wedding date at an AirBnb on a lake in Pennsylvania and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. We then had Brittney join us for our larger reception a year later on a beach in New Jersey. As expected, her photos were incredible and captured the day so beautifully. She even put herself at risk when helping me pick thorns out of my dress that I had picked up while photographing on the beach, ha. We selected our wedding date to ensure we could have Brittney join us and it was the best decision. If you are looking for someone to capture the naturally beautiful moments of your wedding day, Brittney is your person.
You will not regret hiring Brittney as your photographer. Not only was she incredibly kind and flexible as we navigated planning a wedding during a global pandemic, she is also a true artist. Her photographs captured both the large and small moments of our celebration. She was also a joy to have around on our wedding day-- helpful, funny, and genuine. We received our photos a few weeks ago and haven't stopped looking at them since. Our family and friends are raving about them too!
Brittney is a true artist and gem of a human! I feel so lucky that my husband and I got to work with her for our wedding. From our initial meeting to post wedding conversations-every interaction has been warm, professional, supportive, genuine and incredibly special. She not only is an amazing photographer but also helped us plan logistics and offered so much valuable insight. She was a total guide throughout the process! Looking back, I could not imagine our wedding day with anyone else and I cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. Brittney captures every emotion and made us look gorgeous! Her photography skills, artistry, and editing skills are impeccable. She really is just the BEST :-)
We feel so fortunate to have had the privilege to work with Brittney and we will undoubtedly treasure our wedding photos for the rest of our lives.
I could not recommend Brittney Raine anymore! She is not only a truly talented photographer, she's simply an awesome human and was a pleasure to work with during the whole wedding planning process. Brittney was so easy to connect with and helped me set up a helpful timeline in the early planning stages. She was extremely supportive during all the uncertainty with Philly wedding restrictions and always helped to ease my anxiety. She definitely knows what she's doing when it comes to wedding photography, and it was so nice to hear many of my vendors say how much they loved working with her in the past.
She killed it at our engagement session by finding beautiful little spots all around our South Philly neighborhood which we didn't even know about! Of course, we loved everything about our wedding day, but I am so grateful to Brittney for capturing all the most special moments in such a beautiful way. Her words of encouragement throughout the day helped my husband and me be fully present during our wedding day. So many wedding guests commented on how she and her second shooter, Jess, were working nonstop to get so many good shots! We did not have a videographer, so we certainly appreciate that Brittney was able to tell our wedding story so perfectly through her photographs.
I cannot recommend Brittney Raine anymore! She totally got the wedding vibe my husband and I were going for and was such a pleasure to work with! She made covid wedding planning a lot less stressful and delivered us the most special wedding photos ever!
Brittney is an unbelievable photographer. We hired her for our engagement + wedding photos - but after our engagement shoot we added in some rehearsal dinner coverage because we loved her so much! From day one she is professional, approachable, and organized. Not only is she great to spend time with (which is important on your wedding day!), she is incredibly talented, and finds a way to capture you as yourself, beautifully. It was important to us to celebrate our guests and their role in supporting us in our marriage, and Brittney expertly and artfully captured the joy we shared as a party. Her ability to capture the moment (especially candids and dance floor moments!) is unmatched. We have been sharing our photos with our guests because she did such a great job of capturing them with us, and have received an outpouring of compliments to her style, and much appreciation for being able to reflect so easily on such a joyful evening! Not many photographers can capture the flow of the evening so well, and her use of photography methods brings an authentic but magical feeling to candid but memorable moments. We are grateful to Brittney for giving us wedding photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives and plan to recommend her to everyone.
Hiring Brittney Raine is without a doubt one of the most important decisions you can make while planning your wedding. With gorgeous editing, an eye for capturing meaningful photos and incredible natural talent - Brittney's work is breathtaking. She is an artist, a calming presence, a true professional.
When our wedding was downsized because of Covid-19, Brittney rolled with our changing plans and was a constant source of positivity and creative thinking. She made the process of figuring out how to re-work our plans smooth and easy. On our wedding day Brittney was early, prepared and took care to observe safe social distancing and mask protocol. Having Brittney with us was like hanging out with a friend. She helped keep us on track and reminded us to take our sunglasses off, grab flowers, when to have bowties tied and boutonnieres pinned . She made great suggestions for backgrounds and photo groupings. She was confident and clear with her recommendations. My new husband put her presence perfectly - "she was always there but you didn't notice her moving". A wedding photography ninja.
Brittney made my family feel comfortable and natural. She made easy conversation with our 10 year old and had fast answers for what we should do with our hands or when to smile vs. when to just look cool. She is compassionate and down to earth, funny and intuitive. Her photos will speak for themselves - let me speak for what a truly great person she is. Hire her!
I am very delayed on writing this review (shame on me). Brittney and her team were amazing. We did engagement pictures and wedding pictures with her and it was a wonderful experience. Brittney rolled with whatever we wanted to do and waiting out the rain with us at a bar the day of our engagement session! On our wedding day, she made me feel like a queen and her team was amazing - from holding my dress off the ground, fixing my hair, and blocking fountain spray like a human shield. They were great and I secretly wish me and Brittney could be BBFs. That's the type of person you want capturing your day!
In short, Brittney is an absolute dream and you definitely shouldn't miss out on the chance to work with her! We sought out Brittney to photograph our wedding through a fairly exhaustive internet search. We wanted someone who we felt could capture the emotion of our day, and how it felt to be there. We wanted to look back on our photos and not just remember how we looked but to see how we felt. Brittney's work spoke enough for itself - every wedding that she has done is stunning and she's clearly so talented. But on top of all of that, she is just a lovely person. Before we booked her, we videoconferenced with her and instantly felt at home - like we were fast friends. Brittney took the time to get to know and understand my fiance and I, who were not traditional wedding people. In fact, we had never gotten professional photos taken together and were unable to do an engagement session. Brittney was understanding and accommodating, and really spent a lot of time explaining her process to us to make sure we felt comfortable. This was all pre-pandemic. Once it became clear that we were going to have to scale down our micro-wedding, Brittney worked with us to change up our contract so that she could photograph our wedding safely. She worked with us to set up the timeline for the day and helped us with tricks and tips to make the day go smoother. With all of the chaos of pandemic wedding planning, we were so happy to have her in our corner to provide some much-needed calm in the center of the storm.
On the day of, Brittney showed up PREPARED. Prepared to get things done efficiently, prepared to have a good time, and prepared to take some sneaky stunning photos. I was so worried she'd have a hard time getting me to relax so that I could look myself in photos - because I tend to tense up whenever I see a camera around. But I never felt tense with her or, when I did, she was always ready with something to lighten me up. She knew when to step back and let me be my strange self, and knew when to step in to remind me to be a bride ("you might want to take your hair tie off your wrist", "let's have your entourage step away for the first look so that you can have some privacy"). My husband felt the same way - said she had an absolute blast photographing the guys. And surprisingly, despite there being only 20 people at the wedding, she took photographs largely unnoticed. My family was so shocked by how many moments she captured ("I didn't know she was there for that!"), and when they did interact with her, they adored her. Finally - and most importantly- her photographs. did. not. quit. I never thought I'd want to look at my wedding photos over and over again. She did EXACTLY what she does best. She captured so many moments, big and small. All of them were so meaningful. I know that 10, 20, 30 years from now I will look at them and remember how I felt to be finally marrying my best friend and how happy everyone was to be together after an extremely difficult year. Hire her and you will not regret it!
We hired Brittney for our wedding originally scheduled for 7/31/20. We ended up postponing our "big" wedding and having a micro wedding this year. Brittney was amazing to work with when we had to reschedule everything and made herself really available for our new date and micro wedding date. Logistics were a breeze!
On 7/30, Brittney was wonderful. I was so nervous and her energy was exactly what I needed. She was also great at handling some overbearing family members! That was an added bonus!
We received our photos in an online gallery about 1.5 weeks after our wedding which I think is a really quick turnaround! The photos are stunning! I felt all the emotions looking at the photos as I did on our wedding day. I was really impressed with how Brittney captured so many different moments and people. It was a pleasure to look through our album. I've probably looked through them all 100 times since receiving them.
I would recommend Brittney to anyone getting married. She is professional and also fun to spend the day with!
We booked Brittney for our November 2019 wedding and it was the best decision we made! She is so talented and professional, and was extremely patient and reassuring while we changed our wedding plans multiple times. She was actually one of the reasons we felt comfortable having a small intimate wedding because we trusted it would be documented to perfection - which it was. Every detail, every guest, every joy-filled moment from our day was captured, without even having to ask or think twice. Working with Brittney feels like working with an old friend, during our engagement session we were relaxed and laughing within minutes, and she calmed our nerves on wedding day too! She is so easy and fun to work with. We are absolutely in love with all of our photos and look forward to having an excuse to work with her again in the future. Do yourself a favor and book her!
What can I say about Brittney that hasn’t already been said in her other (completely accurate) reviews? She is an incredibly talented photographer and even more wonderful person. It’s true that she doesn’t feel like a photographer, but instead a friend that you get to hang out with on your wedding day.
She captured our family and guests’ candid moments and put us at ease so we could “feel our feelings,” especially during the emotional highs of the day. We were blown away by the photos she captured, and are grateful to have such a perfect way to remember not just how the day looked, but what it felt like to be there. If you have a chance to work with Brittney for your big day, do it! It will be one of the best decisions you make.
Brittney is a gem of a photographer and a shining star of a person. She captured our wedding more beautifully than either of us could have imagined or wished for. Being photographed by her feels like hanging out with your chillest, most talented friend, who knows how to work ALL your angles.
Aside from being talented and kind, she radiates the coolest, most calming vibes throughout every situation. We shot our engagement photos outside on a cold, rainy day and somehow Brittney managed to make us feel like it was warm and sunny. Throughout the course of our wedding day, she kept us calm and on schedule, making everything feel like an effortless breeze.
But Brittney is so much more than a photographer. Even in the time leading up to our wedding, she was there to answer all questions and give suggestions about everything wedding related. She answers her e-mails so promptly and comprehensively, and is always willing to jump on the phone to talk it out. Brittney provided so much priceless guidance when we didn't know who else to look to.
Ultimately, Brittney is the full package. I'd say triple threat, but she's much more than that. She's not only a really good photographer, but she's a really good person.
TLDR; Hire Brittney, it'll be the best wedding decision you make (aside from marrying your spouse, I guess).
Brittney is the best! From the second we booked Brittney she was so sweet, supportive and professional. She was open to any and all ideas we had and was a constant source of positive energy throughout the whole process. Brittney captured our personalities perfectly on our big day and we are so happy we have these photos to look back on. Thank you Brittney!!
If you are reading this review, make the best decision of your life and BOOK BRITTNEY RAINE ASAP. We knew booking the right photographer was essential for us. It really takes someone very talented to capture the most special moments during a wedding and Brittney mastered this. Viewing the sneak peak photos she sent us brought back all the feels and amazing emotions from our special day. During our day, she made us laugh and made us feel at ease, while being very efficient. She guided us during certain moments, and other times, let things happen organically. We put our complete trust in her to capture the most special day of our lives to date and she exceeded expectations. We are SO happy. If you book her, you will be too ☺
WHERE TO BEGIN?! Regardless of her photography skills (which are NEXT LEVEL) Brittney is such a delight to work with as a person. She is clearly so invested in what she has chosen to do for a living and her commitment to capturing moments and more importantly emotions, is second to none. Neither my (now) husband or I have ever been very comfortable in front of a camera, and I personally have dealt with a lot of self esteem issues over the years over my appearance so the fact that I had a hard time finding photos of myself I DIDN’T like says so much! Brittney worked with us for our engagement shoot, as well as my bridal shower and our wedding…thanks to her we have the most perfect time capsule of some of the best times of our lives. If you’re questioning booking her…DON’T! She is simply the best at what she does.
Brittney Raine is absolutely amazing and we are so in love with all of our photos from our wedding day. She was the first photographer we met with and looking back now we were clueless about timelines, what we wanted specifically, etc and she guided us throughout the whole process. On the wedding day, I felt so comfortable around her and she made taking photos feel so natural. I can't recommend her enough! Definitely book her!
I can't say it enough - Brittney is amazing! She is an expert at what she does, and combined with being a kind, funny, and authentic person - she is the best there is. Before discovering Brittney, I was anxious about finding a photographer. I always knew I wanted honest, authentic, natural, candid, silly photos - to capture who my husband and I truly are. I wanted the true essence of our wedding day captured, nothing staged. Brittney was able to capture pure and perfect memories and they are beautiful! Her gift at capturing candid moments and emotion is incredible. She is also very easy to work with, professional and organized. This was one of the easiest and best decisions we made during the wedding process! We can't thank her enough!
My husband and I got married earlier this year and the first thing we did after securing a date with the right venue was to reach out to Brittney in hopes of having her as our photographer. Luckily for us, she was available on our date and agreed to meet with us in person at her studio. Minutes into the interview, I was almost jumping out of my seat for joy as she said the words “my passion is to document your day” and that she truly did effortlessly, confidently, and wonderfully on our wedding day. She was sure to capture the special candid moments and orchestrate the more formalized photos that my family will cherish forever. Brittney is an incredible photographer and person whom we cannot recommend highly enough! Book her now!
We met with three photographers before we were even officially engaged, and ended up choosing our wedding date to make sure we could have Brittney as our photographer! She immediately made us feel comfortable and really understood what we were aiming for with our photos and the whole vibe of the wedding. We had a backyard wedding with a lot of moving pieces and she was so above-and-beyond helpful with a timeline and us asking a million questions during the planning process. Her organization, professionalism, and experience were huge assets to our day. Plus, she’s just fun to be around! She captured all of the emotion, silliness, and love that was a part of our day - a host of crazy pets and crazier family members included. Some of our favorite shots are candids of us and our guests that we had no idea were even being taken. It is so great to see all of the things we missed and get to experience everything over again. We will look back on our photos forever and cry and giggle as much as we did that day. Do whatever you can to get Brittney there for your wedding day, you won’t regret it!
One of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding was hiring Brittney as our photographer. I still have the email I sent to my then-fiancé when I first saw her portfolio: “Can we just work with her, please?” What drew us both to Brittney was her unique ability to capture the mood of an event and the emotions of her subjects. I mean, she absolutely kills it at candid shots. We really prioritized the photography for our wedding, because we wanted to have beautiful photos to remember our day by. But Brittney gave us so much more. First of all, she flew to us in Boston for our engagement shoot. She was very accommodating and did this at a surprisingly reasonable price. We were feeling nervous about the shoot, as we are both a bit camera-shy. But she immediately made us feel at ease. She is just a fantastic person and a joy to be around. At the wedding itself, she was kind and reassuring when necessary and inconspicuous when necessary, such that we felt we were really able to relax and be ourselves on our big day. We just got our photos back, and we could not be happier with them. Our wedding day was wonderful, but it was also a blur. Now we feel like we get to re-live all of these beautiful moments thanks to Brittney, and we are so, so grateful.
Brittany not only delivered on beautifully documenting our wedding, she actually made the entire thing better. Something about her calming nature actually helped calm us down when the event was in full swing.
Since our wedding was largely about bringing together and involving our friends in every aspect of the wedding, it was incredible that Brittany found a way to seamless fit right in, as if we had been friends for years before.
I cannot recommend Brittany enough. Her quality of work, her attentiveness, her professionalism, and her vibe...can't be topped. Feel free to stop your search and hire her now.
Brittany was recommended to us by our wedding planner. We had no idea what we were doing and Brittany made the day seamless. We did a surprise wedding so we had photo's at our house, then photo's at our venue. As a cat mom Brittany even agreed to take photo's with our unwilling cat. We could not be happier with our photo's and Brittany. She was a breeze to work with and her positive attitude made it so easy!!!! I highly recommend Brittany to anyone! She was affordable and the pictures were stunning.
Thank you Brittany!!!!!!!!!
I can't say enough good things about Brittney. From our first meeting with her, my fiance and I knew she was the one who could capture our personalities and big day in such a special way. We don't like getting our photos taken which I'm sure is a challenge for any photographer but Brittney made us feel so comfortable and truly captured our love and happiness. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process, was punctual and an absolute joy to be around (which is important because you spend a lot of time with your photographer day of). We have only gotten the sneekpeak so far but I cannot stop staring at the photos. I cannot wait to see the full set. I would highly recommend Brittney for all your wedding photogrpahy needs!
I found Brittney on Instagram years before we were married (or even engaged!) & I knew she was the photographer for us. And I was right! Brittney was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always on point with anything we needed (plus she’s just a straight up awesome person). We barely noticed her presence on our wedding day, allowing us to absolutely be ourselves. I had incredible anxiety regarding our big day but never worried for a second about our photos because I knew we were in great hands. And she did not disappoint! Our pictures are absolutely beautiful. The colors are so true to the day and the look we were going for. The candids captured our moods perfectly and I probably don’t go a day without taking a peak at them. She had plenty of ideas for what kind of pictures to take day of but humored our wacky requests as well (a few photos with the Philadelphia government seal). She was also super attentive to our vibe & made it all happen just as we had hoped. What can I say? You would be a fool not to hire her! An absolute professional who takes beyond lovely, unique photos that will capture your day, & most importantly, your love!
I don't remember how I stumbled across Brittney but am ever so grateful that I did. If you've landed here, consider yourself lucky and strongly consider hiring her. I believe that one of the most important places to spend your money on your wedding day is your photos - these are what you'll go back to year after year; and Brittney has such an amazing eye where she is able to capture real moments (but also capture you in you at your best). She is also such a down-to-earth, hilarious, and open person. This was all evident from my first contact with Brittney which was quickly followed by a FaceTime chat (that included, me, my now husband Greg, and a cameo appearance by our dog Zoey - at Brittney's request). We immediately felt at ease and comfortable after this FaceTime and knew we made the right decision. When we met up with Brittney or our engagement shoot we felt like we were hanging out with a friend. What could have been a truly awkward and draining day (from running around all over San Diego to take photos on what seemed to be one of the most busy and crowded days) instead was a comfortable and easy experience thanks to Brittney. At the wedding, I was so happy to when Brittney arrived and excited to see her work her magic. Because one of the only truly quiet moments you have during your wedding day is when you're taking your portraits, it was such a relief to spend that time with Brittney; it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend and, again, as a result we felt so comfortable and relaxed. She also brought along a second shooter, Ashley Randall, who was also amazing and a delight to work with. Fast forward to receiving our photos and, honestly, we were blown away. She managed to capture us in what felt like a genuine and raw raw while also managing to capture us in our best light possible. As an aside, Brittney is based out of Philadelphia and we are located out in California (Orange County specifically). Not only was Brittney very accommodating with travel (and very reasonably priced in this respect) but I also had ZERO concerns about logistics; she was a super professional about planning ahead and having contingency plans in place. In summary, I love Brittney and, if you decide to book her, you will love her too (and the photos she creates for you).
This was the second family wedding where we used Brittney. She photographed my daughter’s wedding last November and we were totally blown away by her work. So, when I got engaged, the first vendor I hired was Brittney! She is all the things you want in a photographer -- professional, great eye for a photo, timely, courteous, fun yet discreet. However, here is where Brittney EXCELS. She has the gift of being able to capture the day’s events, the guests, and the venue perfectly and uniquely to your day. When I compare my photos with my daughter’s, despite common pictures (first look, wedding party, ceremony, etc.) and common guests, the perspectives of the photos are totally different. I am in awe of how she memorialized our events so beautifully. I think this is because Brittney does not overly pose her subjects. She lets things flow and as a result, the photos are a true recording of how your special day looked and how your guests (and you) felt. Even your wedding party pictures will look more like someone captured a great time versus someone posed you to take a photo. She is simply awesome. The only problem you will have in hiring Brittney is choosing which photos to put on social media, send to family/friends, and to put on your walls because each shot will be fabulous!!
Brittney was hands down the BEST decision we made during our 1.5 year engagement! She was one of the first vendors we hired and surpassed every expectation we ever had in a wedding photographer.
When doing our research, Brittney described her style as “storytelling”, “emotional” and “candid”. It was our first time working with a professional photographer so it was hard to imagine how that would translate for us, but we liked the sound of it, the look of her very impressive portfolio and she was just SO NICE - so we confidently decided to move forward.
It’s safe to say that we’ve been absolutely blown away every step of the way. Brittney is all the standard things you’d expect in a photographer (professional, organized, punctual, etc.) and so much more. When you’re with Brittney you feel as though you’re hanging out with a long-time friend instead of a strange person following you around all day. We definitely don’t consider ourselves comfortable in front of the camera, but the more time you spend with Brittney the more you realize how invested she is in you and your story that you never feel like another subject.
When Brittney delivered our wedding day pictures we were speechless. Our eyes were immediately filled with tears as we were transported back to the best day of our lives. She captured every cute glance, loving smile and LOL moment in her pictures - they truly say “a thousand words”! It wasn’t surprising when we received countless compliments from family and friends after sharing our pictures (and emotional slideshow Brittney surprised us with!) It’s hard to put into words how great she is and we’ll never be able to communicate just how grateful we are for how she captured our day. We suggest you find out for yourself :)
Brittney is the best. I wish I could leave it at that because nothing else I write seems to do her justice. Her work is exceptional. I've ordered countless prints ... and keep finding new favorites every time I look through our photos. Brittney melted seamlessly into the setting and somehow managed to capture every single encounter and emotion. Her photos truly come to life. But beyond that, Brittney was an amazing presence on our wedding day. She brings the perfect balance of calm, insight, and humor, and I loved spending time with her. This is the only vendor review I am leaving—not because we're unhappy with the others, but because I truly believe in only recommending the very best. And that is Brittney.
Our experience with Brittney Raine for our wedding was wonderful. Leading up to the wedding she replies very quick and keeps you in the loop with timeline on the day and only a couple days after the wedding she sent "sneak peak" pictures of our wedding which we didn't expect! On the wedding day itself we felt like we've known Brittney for years. She provided a very calming presence which we needed but at the same time took charge and made sure we got all those beautiful shots. Brittney made our experience effortlessly easy and natural. If I could give her 10 stars I would!
We absolutely loved our experience with Brittney Raine Photography. Brittney really understood our vision for our wedding day. Most couples want staged portraits. Of course we wanted some of those, but we also wanted to capture the moments that weren't staged, the ones we couldn't plan for. Boy did Brittney deliver! We now have beautiful moments forever frozen in time. Brittney not only captured us (the bride and groom) she captured the raw moments experienced by our friends and family too. We got to see the tangible impact our day had on our loved ones. Brittney was professional and organized, and really understood our "vision." I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to listen and to really bottle the essence of your wedding day. THANK YOU to Brittney for taking on the responsibility of capturing our day so we could just focus on experiencing it and celebrating!
Our friends recommended Brittney Raine to us almost immediately after we got engaged, and I am so thankful that they did. We could not have asked for a better experience with her, she surpassed every expectation we ever had in a wedding photographer. She completely captured “us” in our engagement session as well as on the wedding day. Every smirk, head thrown back laugh, ugly cry, goofy smile was forever caught by her camera, and we are unbelievably grateful. She encouraged us to feel our feelings and I’m so glad she did. We were on our honeymoon when she sent us a few sample photos, those photos had us in tears at a dive bar within seconds. And when we received all the wedding photos, it was like reliving the entire day over again. And not just by remembering what things looked like, but by beautifully capturing the emotions of all our friends and family throughout the day. There’s no way we could ever choose just one favorite photo, each photo is perfect. Brittney went above and beyond in every way, in her professionalism, in her amazing work, but most importantly, in her kindness.
The baseline with Brittney is that she is unbelievably talented, creative, kind, accommodating and caring. And that’s the baseline. From the moment we met her my husband and I felt at ease – like we had someone in our corner always willing to help. 5 minutes into our engagement shoot we forgot we were taking pictures –she made us both feel like we were hanging out with an old friend. We got the pictures back and they blew us away. They were natural, sweet, playful and full of love – an exact reflection of how we felt that day. Given our experience with our engagement pictures, we had high expectations for the wedding. Brittney beyond delivered. She goes above and beyond from a business side, answering any of our questions by hopping on to a phone call, being flexible and honest with us around what package to buy, and even coming to meet with our wedding planner on site a few months before the wedding (which just happened to be in the middle of a blizzard). On top of capturing each person, activity and detail beautifully, Brittney also captures emotions. You can feel the pictures. She has an eye for highlighting what makes each person and moment unique. Brittney puts an incredible amount of care and effort into her work and it shows. I cry (happy tears) every time I look at our photos. We rave about her to anyone who will listen – and if you’re lucky enough to have her shoot your wedding we know you will be doing the same.
Brittney is an incredible talent and lovely person. We could not recommend her more highly or enthusiastically. We had our engagement and wedding photos with her and were thrilled with how they turned out. She is incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to work with. Brittney has the unique ability to find nuance in her subjects and capture people in such an honest way. From detail shots, to candids, to larger group and posed shots, the range in Brittney’s style really comes through and all of the events she photographs. She’s able to make the unique aspects of each wedding shine. On our wedding day, she was organized, punctual, scouted beautiful locations for our portraits beforehand, and ran a tight ship – we finished our requested friends/family portraits with time to spare before the ceremony and were able to get extra shots in. She was so stealth throughout the evening, too. We don’t know how she managed to take all the photos she did – it’s as if she cloned herself. People look so comfortable in her photos – none of the rigidity that you often see in wedding photos, especially those that are posed. She’s so creative -- The perspectives of the photos are beautiful – some were so artistic, we loved her black and whites, and each image felt so special. It’s clear she puts a huge amount of thought and work into selecting and editing the images. Brittney is exceptional. It was such a pleasure getting to know her. We’ll treasure her photos for the rest of our lives and we’re so grateful to her.
Brittney Raine is one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I had such a hard time finding a photographer whose pictures I loved, but when I saw Brittney's pictures on a Philly wedding blog I knew she would be perfect. After looking through her website I could see that she perfectly captures moments and not just poses. My husband and I were screaming from joy when we went through our sneak peek pictures. Every single photo she sent us was beyond amazing. Not only are Brittney's pictures fantastic, but so is her personality!! She was so easygoing and spent the whole day complimenting us, and come on, who doesn't love that?!!? We can't wait to look at these pictures for the rest of our lives!
Where do I even begin?! I could rave about Brittney all day long because she is hands down INCREDIBLE! I am a huge over-thinker and choosing vendors for our June 2018 wedding was very overwhelming. I knew that photos were something I did not want to skimp on, because after all, when everything is over, photos are the one thing that is left and allows you to relive your special day. Having Brittney photograph both our engagement session and our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. After we first met her, we instantly knew she was the one - no thinking necessary (which for me is unheard of!). Brittney has a way of making you feel as though you are reconnecting with an old friend, which I found to be one of her most prized traits when behind the lens. During our entire 12 years together, my husband and I are not a very sappy PDA couple, so I was nervous what it was going to be like in front of the camera. During our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, boy did we feel comfortable around her, which allowed us to shine and her to snapshot our love and personalities in the most authentic way. She does not force poses or make you feel like you time traveled to your senior prom photo days; rather, she really focuses on candidly showing your relationship through her lens in the least obnoxious or intrusive way. When we received our photos, I could not stop tearing up. I am in LOVE with them and how much they encompass myself and my husband (and our family and four-legged child)! She did a phenomenal job documenting our day and all of the emotions that stemmed from it - I didn't even realize she was there for many of the moments! Lastly, from start to finish, Brittney was beyond organized, on top of things and responsive, even providing great suggestions for other vendors when I was as usual, overthinking things. Brittney, we cannot thank you enough for EVERYTHING!
For our wedding day photos my now wife and I wanted someone to truly capture how much we not only loved each other but how much love was in the room to support us as we got married. We wanted those little special moments captured- my brother wiping a tear, our niece sneaking a kiss from her Dad, our friends laughing around the table. Brittney just gets it; she made us feel so at ease the day of; it didn't even feel like cameras were there and that we had to pose and be stiff- we were just having fun, being natural and she was somewhere in the distance creating her magic with her camera.
Brittney also went out of her way to send us a sneak peek of a few photos the day after the wedding which HAD US IN HYSTERICS. If someone can tell a story with just photos- you know they have done a good job; we were blown away. Brittney was available, consistent, patient, open, talented and most of all a good human from the first meeting all the way through to when the photos were finished. It's not so easy being LGBT and trying to find vendors who are accepting and loving; and she was all of those things. We just couldn't have asked for more; Brittney- you deserve every bit of success, you're a dream!
There are no words sufficient to describe how wonderful it was to work with Brittney. From the day we booked her to our wedding two weeks ago, she handled every detail with care and consideration. While she remained incredibly professional throughout, she ultimately felt like a close friend by our wedding day. Our photos are natural, genuine, and beautiful and we've been asked countless times who our photographer was.
If you are thinking of hiring Brittney, all I can say is yes, don't wait, do it now. I can't believe she even has openings in her schedule. Anyone would be lucky to have her.
From the first time my husband and I connected with Brittney via FaceTime (we live in LA, she is based in Philly), I had 100% confidence that she would be perfect for our non-traditional wedding. On our wedding day, Brittney told me that she had a dream that she got booked out until 2028, and we all laughed. The funny part of it all is that I wouldn't be surprised if this happens! She is SUPER talented, really sweet and just overall a pretty cool girl. Consider yourself lucky if you get to use Brittney as your photog.
I found Brittney on The Knot and am so glad I did. Our special day was seamless and the photos that captured it are just amazing, thanks in large part to our extra special photographer. We didn't do engagement photos, so the first time I met Brittney was on the wedding day! But from our first Skype session, I knew she'd be a perfect fit. So relaxed, funny, and professional. She had a tentative schedule of the day ready for us before any of our other vendors, which helped me with planning along the way. And she was very flexible whenever we needed to change things up. On the wedding day, Brittney kept my now-husband and me laughing during our portrait shoots and was easily able to wrangle my large and sometimes crazy family. The shots of the ceremony and reception somehow capture all of the best moments of the day, and yet, when it was all happening, Brittney and her second shooter basically blended in. As I walked down the aisle, all I could see were my family, friends, and fiance---not a camera lens, which was really important to me. Brittney was there somewhere, because she got the shot! But was so respectful not to interrupt the moment. Our photos came through just weeks after the wedding (that was way ahead of schedule), and I've since given them as gifts to all of my family and friends who helped out. My brother recently got married, and a friend of mine was his photographer, but she liked Brittney's work so much at mine, that she wanted to hire her to help shoot! So, high praise from her customers and fellow photographers alike!
Brittney is the absolute BEST. We are long overdue in writing this review but from the minute we started to work with Brittney she made the entire process a breeze and actually fun for my husband who doesn't love being in the spotlight. Her work is incredible and got rave reviews by everyone that saw our engagement and wedding photos. For any couple that might consider themselves a little more low key but still prioritized beautiful photos, Brittney is your woman. Thank you times a million, Brittney- we hope to work with you again during other special times in our lives!
We can and will rave about Brittney for as long as anyone is willing to listen! You can get a good sense of her style as an artist, and whether that fits with your wedding, from her online portfolio. What you won’t get is a sense of is what it’s like to actually work with Brittney. So, let me tell you! Working with Brittney was such an enjoyable experience for two main reasons. First, she’s everything you’d look for in a professional: reliable, responsive, accommodating, and willing to field any and all questions about her work. Second, she really listened to our concerns and worked with us to get the best photos from the wedding.
Although both of us are introverts who dislike having our photo taken, all our concerns went away after the first five minutes of our engagement shoot. Brittney has an incredible talent for reading people: she knew how to put us at ease, when to make suggestions, and when to back off and let us do our own thing. Going into the wedding, it didn’t even occur to me to be worried about the photography, that’s how much trust and confidence I had in Brittney. And during the day, she kept us feeling calm and comfortable, capturing all the moments we’d asked for in an unobtrusive way. We were so excited to get the photos back, and love how she captured the feel and emotion of our wedding. We are so grateful to Brittney for producing such beautiful shots, and would recommend her a million times over!
Brittney is the most amazing photographer and person! From the moment we started speaking nearly 2 years before our wedding, I knew she was going to be the best photographer for us. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, took the time to get to know us as a couple, never asked us to be anything but ourselves, and every picture she took was outstanding. She finds a way to not just take a photo but capture your emotions perfectly. Each picture I look at, I can remember exactly how I was feeling in that moment. She’s so talented and so incredibly kind! I recommend Brittney to any couple out there looking for a photographer to capture their love story naturally and effortlessly. Thank you Brittney for these pictures I’ll cherish forever!
Brittney was by far the best decision we made about our wedding! We took her with us to the Dominican Republic to shoot our destination wedding and she went above and beyond to capture everything. We are thrilled with the photos that are not only stunning, but truly capture everything we were feeling. Looking back on our wedding, these photos absolutely bring us back to the best week of our lives in the most vivid way! LOVE LOVE LOVE Brittney.
My now husband and I met Brittney in person for the first time the day of our wedding -- you're probably thinking this bride is nuts, but we knew from the moment that we first spoke with her over the phone that she was going to capture our wedding day JUST how we wanted her to. And she more than delivered. She is so talented at capturing the feelings and emotions of the day through photos, and that is something that we can't ever thank her enough for. She takes the type of photos that make you want to cry [in the best way possible because you miss those moments and the day so much] and she is the kind of professional who is able to make you relive that day minute by minute through the images. If you are looking for a one of a kind, personable, professional photographer who is willing to go above and beyond for you to capture your day in the BEST light -- you need to book Brittney now. It was the best decision my husband and I could have made and we are so happy we did.
Brittney took engagement and wedding photos for us, and we've been gushing about her ever since! First off, she is an absolute joy to work with. Both me and my husband are quite camera-shy, but she was so great at putting us at ease. We were both surprised at how much FUN we have when we are being photographed by her. She's also an amazing artist with such a great eye. Some of my favorite photos from our wedding our brilliant candids that she and her second shooter caught of us and our guests. In short, Brittney is a master at what she does and we can't recommend her enough!!
Brittney Raine is spectacular. She is an incredibly talented photographer that has a beautiful way of capturing authentic moments and emotion. She has a creative mind and, what was even more noteworthy to us, a true “come as you are” mentality that can seem elusive in wedding vendors. She took the time to understand how we envisioned our day – from the itinerary, to our aesthetic and overall vibe – and then proposed a timeline for us to get what we wanted, in the time and in the way that we wanted. You’ll find that she allows your wedding day to happen, and clandestinely captures the beauty in real moments. The end result is a collection of beautiful photos that you will look through over and over again because you really feel as though you are reliving your wedding day.
She’s organized & professional, and a calming, comforting presence – to us, she felt like a friend we’ve known our entire lives. During our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, we (not super photogenic, ‘comfortable in front of the camera’ people) felt remarkably comfortable with her. Her portfolio of work (check our her website!) speaks for itself.
We have nothing but great, positive things to say about Brittney. She’s not only someone we are happy to have trusted and worked with, but someone we are grateful to have met.
Brittney and her second shooter Samantha were so absolutely wonderful! They were fun, easy going and really made my husband and I super comfortable. Brittney was organized with our timeline and made sure she got all of the shots that we requested; and then some! She even gave us a sneak peek on her Instagram which made us SO EXCITED to see the finished product! We sincerely cannot wait to see the finished result, and would highly recommend Brittney to anyone -- she travels just about anywhere too!! Thanks for a great day Brittney!!! You guys definitely added a memorable touch that we'll have forever and ever. <3
It was a little over a year ago that my now husband reached out to Brittney hoping she was available to shoot our Oct 1 wedding. We had seen some of BR’s work and ev-er-y-thing was right up our alley. We met with her and hit it off.
Brittney could not have been more accommodating, helpful, and fun. Super fun. We ended up taking engagement photos, we never knew we wanted engagement photos. We are so glad we did, we love them just as much as our wedding photos. Our wedding day, to us this day was for celebration and spending time with family and friends. We did not want to spend the day taking photos. So, we didn’t and Brittney still managed to capture everything and then some. We could not be happier with how our photos and how the day turned out. Thank you, Brittney for capturing the #worldsgreatestwedding and the best day of our lives ☺
