Bryan was incredibly kind and easy to work with! He made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease throughout our engagement session as well as on our big day! Our photos came out stunning. The lighting and attention to details in Bryan’s work are truly incredible. We can’t thank him and Christina enough for everything they did for us on our wedding day! Their kindness, humor, and patience were so appreciated on what can be a hectic day. We look forward to working with them again in the future!

Bryan was so amazing to work with. Communication was always prompt. He made everything so easy! We haven’t gotten our photos back yet, but I’m so blown away by the sneak peek that I have zero concerns about the rest of the photos. His wife Christina was also a total sweetheart. They’re super accommodating, on top of everything, and went above and beyond… Bryan left my wedding at the end of our contracted time and then surprised us by showing back up with a gift… A framed wedding photo! Highly recommend!

Bryan was fantastic to work with and very personable. He made a very animated, not so photogenic group look to our best potential. Shots were well constructed. He even got shots of key guests that I didn’t have the chance to ensure we got in the whirlwind of it all, which I am so appreciative of. I love his style. Absolutely would recommend!

Bryan and his wife Christina are the definition of power couple. Bryan takes care of the photos and Christina coordinates the details and everything in between (including carrying around the train of my dress for hours). Bryan has a beautifully unique eye and if you trust his vision you’ll have photos that you never thought possible. He and his wife will even help you traverse a small stream to get the perfect shot (no wedding dresses were harmed in the production of said photo).
P.S. they are also animal friendly :-)

Bryan and his wife are absolutely amazing! They were so helpful, friendly and pleasant the day of our wedding. Also, they were incredibly accommodating when we had to change our date twice due to covid. Not to mention how talented they are, and how absolutely stunning all of our photos came out.

We loved working with Bryan and Christina for both our engagement shoot and wedding, we could not have asked for a better photographer or better experience! From the first meeting with Bryan and Christina in early 2020 I knew we found the right photographer for our big day. Bryan is quick to respond, very professional and has great ideas to help make your vision come to life. Through the ups and downs of planning and re-planning our wedding due to COVID we are so grateful that Bryan and Christina were able to shoot our wedding at the New Haven Lawn Club, they really helped to make the day run smoothly, providing insight on the timeline, we’re organized and efficient! Overall Bryan and Christina were a great team to work with, we would highly recommend!

When browsing for a photographer my husband and I had no idea how we would be able choose from the HUNDREDS showing up online When we came across Bryan's work we instantly knew he was the one! What caught our eye was his timeless, classic, and elegant editing style. When meeting for our consultation Bryan was personable, professional, and really listened to our requests. Even though COVID messed with our plans he still offered affordable packages to accommodate our small church wedding with a reception down the line (plus we got to use him twice!) The photography was something we never stressed about and we cannot recommend Bryan enough!

Bryan and Christina were amazing; they made our whole experience so easy and left us with wonderful photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding and reception. Our guests also loved the photo booth and made full use of it! They were also extremely professional and so kind when we had to delay our reception due to the pandemic. They came and shot our Zoom wedding ceremony, which was a bright spot during a difficult time. Both the ceremony and reception photos turned out amazing, and we got the photos in a very timely manner! You won't regret working with Bryan for your photos.

There is honestly nothing bad to say about Bryan. Working with him and his wife was so easy. They are such laid back and down to earth people who know the industry. Due to covid planing we had our first meeting on zoom and we knew within the first 2 minutes they were the ones we wanted to go with! It was great having our engagement session included in our wedding package and it was a great time really get to know them and see how our big day was going to go. Onto the wedding day Bryan was amazing. He captured every tiny detail and no big event was missed either! His eye for creativity is breathtaking and I really couldn’t be happier with the way our wedding day pictures came out. They all looked magazine worthy and just so natural! Not to mention we had them back in about 4 weeks! I would recommend Bryan to everyone!
We both can’t wait to continue using them in the future for maternity and family shoots when the time comes!

Before booking Bryan Avigne Photography, all we knew is we wanted AMAZING pictures to look back on for our wedding day. We sat down and looked through tons of photographers online, we scheduled appointments all the same week with a bunch. Once we met Bryan Avigne Photography our search stopped, not only were his photos the most beautiful, but we clicked with them instantly! The confidence, excitement and composure emanated throughout our entire experience. Starting with our engagement pictures, we were nervous to be in front of the camera, but it didn't last long. Bryan consistently gave us tips for posing, laughed and joked with us to lighten up our mood and make the pictures so naturally beautiful.
Now in addition, 5 months before our initial wedding date COVID started. Bryan was great, continued to be supportive and prompt in his responses with our attempt to find a new date with them, it couldn't have been easier.
Everyone we talked to at our wedding and after was raving about how great Bryan was and once again he was able to make everything feel comfortable and easy. They bounced around from getting ready with us, to before wedding shots and throughout the night. The pictures, even more breath-taking. There was not one moment, sweet smile, tear or glance he didn't capture.
We are beyond grateful for Bryan Avigne Photography and their ability to exceed our expectations. We will definitely be using them for all future milestones ahead.

Since we decided to get married during a pandemic, we knew it would be a very small celebration. However, we still wanted professional photos to capture the day. We only had about a month to plan the event! Many of the photographers I had received recommendations for, were unavailable, and out of our budget. While I was hesitant to book with an unfamiliar photographer, their elopement package seemed to coincide perfectly with what we needed. Bryan was very accommodating with timing and location. With the pandemic and weather, we weren't sure quite where we were going to have our photos taken. We communicated up to a few days before the wedding and he was happy to adjust as needed. During the session, he literally helped clear snow for us to take photos at a location we thought would have been cleared, but wasn't; he really went above and beyond to help capture those special moments.
response 02/01/2021
Thanks so much for these great words. That snow was something else but it really added to...
the beauty of the day. So glad we were able to be a part of it!

My wife and I could not have asked for a better, more competent wedding photographer than Bryan. He and his assistant/wife Christina were a complete pleasure to have at our wedding to capture our special day. Their professionalism and good nature made it such a joy in so many ways! Not only did we receive so many enthusiastic comments from our guests and family about how impressed they were with how nice and efficient Bryan was in taking everyones pictures, but the final results were spectacular and we could not have been more satisfied. My wife and I are forever grateful that we chose Bryan and his team to be our wedding photographer and add to a truly flawless day. Thank you! Thank you!

I am not from the area so it was tough for me to choose vendors for our wedding without a ton of recommendations. So when I did research I really tried to find a photographer that had the style I was looking for, I wanted the photos to be creative and to look like they were out of a movie. As soon as I found Bryan's website, I had to reach out to him. Upon meeting him and his wife Christina and their awesome rescue dogs, we got such a great first impression and it was really no question that they were it! They were willing to travel to Boston, where my husband and I met, for our engagement photos, and we even had an impromptu dinner afterwards which was an absolute blast. I would have never thought it would all go down like that and it was a pleasant surprise that they genuinely wanted to get to know us and be more than just another one of our vendors. We were bummed that Christina ended up having the flu on our wedding day (poor thing!!) but Bryan came with a fantastic assistant and they both made us feel at ease on our big day. As is with every family and wedding party, we had lots of different personalities and they took it in stride and dealt with everyone both professionally and playfully at the same time which was a relief for me!! Just before Bryan left for the night, he presented us with a beautiful framed photo ALREADY from our wedding. We were obviously not expecting that at all and just stunned by how he made that happen, it made me want to cry! He truly captured moments from our day that made me feel like we were part of a movie. But no, this is real life and you SHOULD feel like this on your wedding day!! Our theme was Grimm's Fairytales (as that's my maiden name) and he was an integral part in making that day a fairy tale for us. THANK YOU BRYAN AND CHRISTINA!!

WOW...where do we begin??!! Bryan and his wife Christina are two of the most wonderful people we have ever met! I (bride) run weddings for a living and work with so many different photographers and from the first moment I met them I knew they were the ones for us! They welcome you into their home, pour you a drink, and make you feel like you are part of their family! When it comes to getting photos done they make you feel so comfortable which is hard for me because I hate getting my picture taken! They inspired us by their passion and professionalism throughout the entire process, it's refreshing to work with people as wonderful as they are! I can't wait to use them again for our maternity shoot that will hopefully be coming soon! Words can not express how phenomenal they are! LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!

There are no words that can best describe how wonderful Bryan and Christina are. From the moment we met them, we knew they would be a great fit for our wedding vision. They are so friendly and fun! Made it so easy on us- like we were hanging out with friends who we had known for quite some time! They brought such positive energy to our wedding that allowed not only us to feel comfortable, but our guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera. Their hard work, effort and love for what they do is so apparent. They were extremely generous with their time and did not rush out on us just because “time was up”. They stuck around to make sure we documented everything we were hoping to. We will never be able to thank them enough for being so incredible. I would recommend Bryan Avigne Photography to anyone and everyone a million times over!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Bryan and Christina were awesome! They are very professional, easy to connect with and will make you feel comfortable on your special day. If you are looking for high quality work, Bryan and Christina should be your first choice. Don’t waste your time researching or meeting with other photographers because you will be dissatisfied. We are so happy that we chose Bryan and Christina to photograph our special day. They also went out of their way to give us a beautiful gift at the reception which we were not expecting. We had them booked for 11 hours and they made sure that our day ran smoothly. If I could give them a rating of 100 stars, I would. No complaints here!

Bryan and Christina Avigne are absolutely amazing to work with!! When we first were meeting with wedding photographers, we immediately hit it off, laughing and joking the whole time while crafting our vision for the wedding. On the actual wedding day, they did not disappoint. Bryan was so easy to work with and got all the shots we wanted (and more!) and Christina was great at pointing out all the little details that can make or break a picture. What a great team!! They had us laughing the whole day and surprised us with a beautiful gift at the wedding too!! They are absolute magicians with a camera. We absolutely love all the photos, which truly capture the joyous mood of the day. I highly recommend Bryan Avigne Photography. You will not be disappointed!!!

Bryan is so much more than a photographer. He is an artist, a creative, and an overall genuine person. He fosters close relationships with all of his couples, which helps provide an excellent comfort level. Bryan made me feel at ease. Michael and I both felt like we were shooting with an old friend. And our comfort definitely translated to our photos. I plan to make Bryan our forever photographer as we now have a baby on the way that he is sure to photograph. More importantly though, Bryan and Christina are our forever friends. They share a beautiful love and a beautiful passion for their craft. Christina was an excellent assistant to me on the big day. She was constantly fixing my train and making sure our lighting was just right. I know I can speak for both Michael and myself when I affirm that Bryan Avigne photography is nothing but the best. We could not be happier with our choice. Thanks Bryan and Christina!

Our son got married August 19, 2017 and Bryan Avigne was the photographer not only for the engagement and save the date photo's but also for the bridal shower and of course the wedding.
I had gone to seven weddings in 2017, and in witnessing other photographers, I must say that Bryan Avigne, by far, was the most professional, creative, and considerate photographer compared to his peers.
He captured every moment with incredible photographs that we cherish and treasure. Because of Bryan, we get to relive our son and daughters amazing wedding, which unfortunately seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye, each time we look at the photos.
THANK YOU BRYAN FOR A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES...YOU DESERVE ALL OF THE STARS THE SKY CAN HOLD!!!

Look no further! I can’t imagine a better wedding photographer. Bryan and his wife Christina were absolutely fantastic at every point of the wedding process, and they are truly kind, fun people. We would have wanted to invite them as guests even if they weren’t working the event! It was even enjoyable to meet them initially and talk about options, and Bryan helped us choose a package that made the most sense for us. It felt like we were immediately being welcomed into a family. We did our engagement shoot at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven on a cold and windy day, with our dog there losing her mind because of seagulls, and somehow it all went smoothly. Bryan and his wife even brought their son, who played with our dog. The photos are beautiful, and Bryan used the wind to get some cool shots. On our wedding day, they really helped us through the whole day. We were nervous and had no idea how to pose for photos, and they helped guide and relax us, making the earlier parts of the day much less stressful. They were really responsive, sensing when we were floundering and needed direction, and also sensing when we were having a nice organic moment, which they hung back and captured. During the reception, they were out on the dancefloor with us getting incredible photos of us and our family and friends. Meanwhile, they were also manning their photo booth set up, which all of our guests loved. We got several comments from guests about how great our photographer was, and they also really made our families feel at ease. As for the photos themselves, they are gorgeous - we could not be happier with them. They made everyone look fantastic, and the shots are just amazing from the entire day. They came in less than a month, and Bryan posted some teasers along the way. Everything is done online and very easily, including the contract, payments, and the photos/downloads. Overall, if you can book Bryan for your wedding, we highly recommend that you do! We are thoroughly happy with our choice.

Bryan and his wife Christina are absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!! We had a 2 year engagement and found them on The Knot almost immediately. Photography was the MOST IMPORTANT part of our wedding day and we wanted to ensure we had the best of the best. And they are! We were originally getting married in Stratford, CT and then about 10 months before the wedding, changed to a destination wedding in the Grand Canyon. Bryan and Christina without hesitation went through great lengths to ensure they were able to come with us for our special day. They became family through this process and went completely above and beyond all expectations that we had for our wedding weekend. Christina was by my side throughout the majority of our wedding day, ensuring my dress was fluffed and I was ready to go! They are so fun and ensure that you're relaxed and just enjoying every moment. We would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They are caring, attentive to detail, funny, a great team and SO talented!!

Hands down Bryan Avigne is the best photographer out there. I cannot say enough good things about him and his wife Christina. From the first time we met Bryan, he made us feel so comfortable and we knew we were in good hands. Our engagement session turned out so amazing. Bryan helped us to feel at ease in front of a camera and it never felt like a photographer, client relationship; it felt more like a friendship. Our wedding pictures truly blew us away; they are all stunning! I don't even know how Bryan managed to get all of these shots; I felt like I barely saw him once the ceremony and reception got going! Bryan's work truly speaks for itself; all of his images are spectacular. We will be using Bryan Avigne for all of our future photography needs and are grateful to have found great people like Bryan & Christina who live so close by! I highly encourage all couples book with Bryan for your wedding day and beyond!

( no stress in this photo shoot) Bryan and Christina are a strong team and compliment each other. Their love and appreciation for weddings , made our day feel extra special. We received over 700 photos from our wedding and 100 from our engagement shoot, I will be printing all of them.

We absolutely loved Bryan! Both our engagement photos and our wedding photos came out better than we could have dreamed. My husband isn't a huge fan of being in front of the camera, and Bryan made sure we were both comfortable. We also had a bit of an emergency come up the day of the wedding, and Bryan was so flexible which helped us to remain calm. I can not say enough to praise Bryan and his work and I highly recommend him!

We had Bryan take our engagement photos and wedding, and we have never received so many compliments! Bryan and his team are professional, talented and are the ONLY ones to choose for your photography needs in our opinion. Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking! We have been told they belong in a magazine, and it's all thanks to Bryan! We can't wait to continue to use them in the future.

I knew Bryan previously as he was the photographer at my brother's wedding about 5 or so years ago. We chose him because of how great he was then and the amazing work he produces. We couldn't have been happier with our choice! Bryan and his assistant were amazing and always one step ahead which made a huge difference on my wedding day as we were battling some rain. For a shy couple he made us feel so comfortable and just what I have seen already of his photos I am so unbelievable excited to see more because they are beyond beautiful!

My husband and I hired Bryan as our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with that decision! Bryan is very easy to work with and immediately made us feel comfortable. He took the time to get to know us and made us feel like his only clients. Bryan made the whole process stress-free and was able to capture our wedding day perfectly. We love how our pictures turned out and look forward to having Bryan capture our special milestones in the future!

Bryan Avigne was amazing to work with as our Photographer. We had so much fun with him & Christina right from the beginning at our consultation. My husband and I are in the Wedding business and we had a lot of options when it came to our vendors.
Bryan is so down the earth and easy to talk with right after meeting him.
Our engagement session was a blast and made us so excited for our Wedding day.
Bryan, Christina and our second shooter Anthony were awesome on our Wedding day. They made sure we got all the shots needed and just had fun with us and our Family & Bridal Party.
Once we got our photos back, which wasn't long at all, we were again impressed at the amount of photos and the quality. Bryan's style is unique but also keeps things in mind the classic shots.
We recommended Bryan first through working together and now with our personal experience it continues.

Bryan Avigne should be at the top of your list. We cannot say enough good about working with him. From the engagement photos to the wedding, he was easy going, incredibly responsive, and undoubtedly talented. Guests and vendors commented during and after the wedding about how amazing he was. He didn't miss a single detail. He beautifully captured every moment of the best day of our lives. He made even the most camera shy people feel at ease. His efficiency allowed us to enjoy so much of our wedding that we never thought we would make it to. After receiving the final photos, we were even more impressed by Bryan. His choice of backgrounds was limited due to our location, and the spots he chose seemed unusual for wedding photos, but they are simply extraordinary. He turned a dingy brick building into a stunning backdrop. Bryan was worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to any couple looking to capture timeless photos of your wedding.

We were so happy we chose Bryan for our wedding. Our wedding photos will help us look back on our special day for years to come, so we knew this was an area that we didn't want to skimp on. We chose Bryan because he had done such a great job at our friend's wedding and gave them beautiful photos. He did not let us down! His photos are absolutely beautiful. He takes the time to stage the photos with you and your spouse and with the bridal party so that the background is perfect, lighting is right, and everyone looks good. We were so amazed at how he managed to make the red dresses of my bridesmaids pop out in the pictures. He gave us 100s of pictures of our wedding day - we now have the difficult task of narrowing them down for the ones we want to put in our album.
Final note, there are many "photographers" out there who claim to be wedding photographers but their photos are terrible (washed out, bad angles, miss key moments). They might be lower in price than Bryan but you get what you pay for.

Bryan was the first vendor that I wanted to review, because we want everyone to have the wonderful experience we did! Bryan was absolutely wonderful, from the day we contacted him to even after the wedding, he is very prompt in replying to our questions and requests. He was very professional, yet made us feel very comfortable, as if we had known him years! We absolutely loved working with him! I can’t say enough about him and his work, and if you haven’t already, take a look at his amazing website, that was the first thing that drew us to him, and it only got better from there! His portfolio is amazing, and having him there to capture our wedding made it so special! We are so lucky that Bryan was a part of our wedding, and he will certainly be the first photographer we contact for all the special moments in life!! Thank you Bryan!

Bryan was absolutely wonderful to work with! We had met him and his lovely wife, Christina, at my friend's wedding a few years back. The photos from her wedding were absolutely breathtaking, and I just knew I wanted him to capture our day. Our engagement photos are absolutely wonderful, and we received them in a very reasonable time frame after they were shot. Bryan was very flexible with us to build the right photography package for what we were looking for! On the day of the wedding, he was absolutely wonderful. We told him how we wanted the general flow to be and where we had to be at certain times, and he ran with it from there! The whole morning was SO relaxed under his direction, it really just allowed us to soak in every moment rather than directing everyone. He and Christina are a FABULOUS team! She was so conscious of making sure my dress train was always in the right place and that everything else was perfect. Towards the end of the night, Bryan even reminded me of some "must take" photos I said I wanted but we hadn't gotten a chance to take earlier. I loved that he really listened to that and kept me on point. So many of our guests also told me how nice Bryan and Christina were, which was great to hear! I would absolutely recommend Bryan to anyone!!

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Bryan! He is not only an extremely talented photographer, he's wonderful to work with - he has an energy that is contagious, he's passionate, genuine and takes so much pride in his work. After meeting Bryan for the first time we were extremely impressed by his portfolio, the quality of his work and overall professionalism. We had our engagement shoot in 3 feet of snow and a late summer wedding without a cloud in the sky and whether rain, snow or shine, Bryan made the best of it and the pictures are just breathtaking!
We are so thankful and couldn't be happier with our decision in hiring Bryan! He captures the moment, whats real, the love, emotion and true happiness of the moment - nothing staged - he's creative and offers a wide variety of photos to chose from with different lighting, expressions, poses, scenery and style. We very much look forward to continue our relationship/working with Bryan as the years go by and we reach our future 'photograph-worthy' milestones!

Bryan was outstanding from day 1 of meeting with him! He was very professional and able to give us advice on all of our needs. We had a save the date photo shoot before having the wedding and were blown away by the photos even with the tough cold wintery conditions. He helped us with printing the save the dates as well as thank you cards. He did a phenomenal job during our wedding event and surprised us with how quickly he got the photos back to us. We couldn't be happier! We will definitely be in touch for future photo shoots. Thanks Bryan!

Best wedding decision we made!!!! From the first moment we saw Bryan's website and the originality and creativity of his pictures we knew he had to be our wedding photographer! And from the first time we met Bryan and his wife Christina the decision was made. He was so personal and down to earth yet very professional. They made us feel so special that day and it was so nice to not worry about if we will have nice wedding pictures or what kind of shots should we do because Bryan and Christina figured that all out for us. You will not regret your decision to choose Bryan Avigne Photography as we did not. Looking at our wedding pictures after the big day we were amazed at some of the cool shots he got because we didn't even notice him taking them. Many of our guests commented that our photographer was everywhere yet he was not intrusive. So true! He truly has a knack for taking pictures and we are planning to use Bryan Avigne photography again when we have a baby for some adorable baby shots that he also does.. As I said best wedding decision we made and it will be the best decision you also make. Don't miss out!! Thanks Bryan and Christina for making our wedding day one of the best days of both of our lives!

My husband and I had a great experience working with Bryan. Our wedding and engagement photos came out beautifully and he was incredibly professional and easy to work with. My husband and I were both initially uncomfortable being photographed, but Bryan did a great job breaking the ice during the engagement session that by the time the wedding rolled around, we felt very comfortable. He was very discrete during the wedding ceremony and got some amazing shots. He really captured the day. Many guests commented on his professionalism. I honestly have nothing negative to say, the entire experience working with Bryan was fantastic! I highly recommend him!!

Bryan's work truly speaks for itself. He is an AMAZINGLY talented artist. He is able to capture in time the most special moments that you can share with your loved ones forever. Bryan is so professional, calm, cool and collected and knows exactly what he is looking for and is able to make you feel comfortable and at ease the whole entire time. You literally feel like you have known him your whole life! He goes with the flow and honestly felt like family. Many reviewers are exactly right, he responds quickly to questions and emails: he is very helpful when it comes to suggesting other vendors that he has worked with in the past. He is SO knowledgable and an overall awesome human being. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend his talents to anyone! Thank you, Bryan :)

I am not great in front of a camera, and neither is my darling husband. We are awkward, uncomfortable, and generally don't know what to do with our faces. Bryan made us feel incredible. He matches his attitude to what you need, whether you need someone to energize you, to calm you, or to make you laugh. He included an engagement photo shoot in his package, which we were not planning to seek out, but it turned out meeting him in advance was a great idea. We felt so comfortable with him after an hour-long photo shoot of just the two of us that by the time the wedding day came, it was no big deal to take photos in front of dozens of other people. I experienced (typical) wedding day jitters, and seeing Bryan walk into the venue immediately made me feel at peace. He is incredible at his job. Book ASAP!

I can truly not express how pleased I was to have Bryan as my wedding photographer. His work really blows you away and he comes up with some pretty cool ideas for pictures. He is incredibly flexible and responds to emails very quickly which was important to me. As if his talent wasn't enough he is also a truly kind person (even lending me his jacket in between pictures on my snowy wedding day) which makes it easy and comfortable to work with him. I couldn't be happier which is why I will definitely be using him for future events!

After interviewing multiple photographers in the area for what we thought was a reasonable price range, we stumbled upon Bryan's website and realized quickly that there is a huge difference between the average wedding photographer and a professional like Bryan. As the saying goes - you get what you pay for in this case!! After meeting with him at his studio it was clear to us that he's a cut above for many reasons. For starters, he's incredibly knowledgeable in the nuances of photography and he enjoys challenging himself and pushing the envelope to get amazing shots that are unique and far beyond the average wedding scene. Equally as impressive was his professionalism and interpersonal skills, and his ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Bottom line, he's an impressive person in general, who just so happens to be a talented photographer. Many of our wedding guests had similar feelings and went out of their way to share their positive impressions of Bryan. Lastly, we have already recommended him to others who have agreed with our opinion wholeheartedly and have already booked him for their weddings!

Bryan is a true professional and also a great guy! He and his wife Christina welcomed us into their home studio for our initial meeting and it could not have been more comfortable. After seeing Bryan's work from a previous wedding and looking through his gallery online as well as the table books in the studio, we were sold. We knew we weren't just hiring a photographer, but fostering a relationship that would make our photos have that much more of a personal touch. You get what you pay for an so much more with Bryan. We have been absolutely amazed by his work and never once had a second though in using him for our wedding and engagement shoots.
There is something magical about working with him because he has such an eye that allows for you to have a photo that no one else does. For us, it was a simple as a hay bale trailer during our engagement shoot and a pile of leaves at our wedding. These are memories that we will have for a lifetime and we have Bryan and Christina to thank for it all. We hope that as we and our family grows, that Bryan will be there on our journey with us.
If we had to do it over again, we would not change one thing! Anyone who is fortunate enough to work with Bryan is signing up for an experience never to be forgotten with pictures to match. Do yourself a favor and do not look anywhere else, Bryan is your guy!

Bryan is a genius! I found him after he photographed a friend's wedding who's pictures came out absolutely fabulous. I'm so glad she found him because I have zero complaints! Bryan was easy to get along with and has a great vision. We were having trouble coming up with a location for our engagement shoot but Bryan knew Harkness State Park would provide the perfect backdrop especially on a cold January day! We met up a few hours before the sun went down on a cold, windy, January day and while I'm sure Bryan was colder than we were by the end I absolutely loved the outcome. The wedding photos topped the engagement photos and we are having the hardest time figuring out which ones we would like to print up. Once again we got a cold, windy day but there were no complaints. Things went smoothly and we had plenty of time to get all of the photos we could ever imagine. Every picture is amazing. Family and friends have given us and Bryan so many compliments. His assistant and wife were also amazing and we had a great time. He is amazing and I can't wait to do future shoots with him!

Bryan did a wonderful job on our photos for our engagement session and wedding, and the final wedding album is just wonderful! The photographs are perfect. We had such a hard time picking out the ones we wanted in our album since there were so many of them that were great! He worked with us on a few touchups on the photos, like how our cake was a little smooshed in a photo and he was able to even it out in Photoshop.
He is not only an amazing photographer, he's just an all-around nice guy. He was easy to work with during the engagement session and really good during the whole wedding process, making sure we got the shots we wanted and covered the mains events during the wedding.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! He's great!
