Owner
Hi! I am Brittany, Owner and Lead Shooter for Designsbybritt. I have had a camera in my hand since I took my first photography course at 12 years old, in film, and have been working weddings and events for nearly 20 years all along the east coast from NYC to here after I graduated from NYU. I love what I do and I feel it shows through my work. I grew up in the NOVA area of Virginia before moving to New York for NYU and spent 10 years in NYC before resettling back down to my home state of VA but now here in the Richmond area. I live on a 3 acre micro farm with my husband and 2 kids.

Our experience with Brittany for our wedding was absolutely perfect. From first meeting, she kept such great communications with us through the whole process. Always great with her email and she sent us a very detailed planning document to go over the whole schedule for the big day. She made the entire wedding photo process so easy and stress-free. Such great creative direction and she guided all of us right through the photos on wedding day. Any future photography needs for our family, we will be contacting Brittany again for sure :)

Working with Brittany has been an absolute pleasure! She did our engagement and wedding photos, and we are incredibly happy with how both turned out. She also has a videography team, which made it really convenient when planning our wedding. Her and her team's attention to detail is really meaningful. Brittany will help you pose and get the best shots in whatever setting you're in, and her pre-planning ensures your photoshoot will go smoothly! Can't recommend enough!

Britt was an absolute joy to work with ! So thankful she captured memories of our engagement & wedding day ! Swift response time for initial information via the knot website, phone calls, & contract info. Payment plan via square was straightforward. She is professional, very responsive throughout the planning process. Engagement pics were so fun ! She has a way of making you forget you are in front of the camera.
Staging for formal wedding portraits was breezy. She ensures you are set up, angled, posed, & putting your best face forward. (Without feeling fake or overdone). Her bubbly, take charge personality is a wonderful bonus.
You can tell she loves what she does.
We look forward to returning for more lovely candids over the years.

Brit did an amazing job at both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! Some of my favorite shots were during our sparkler send off and our first dance- among others of course!
Britt had a great eye for artistic photos and it come through in her work.
She got some photos I did not even think to ask for just from knowing how those photos would look!
Also , she was very quick with her turn around time (which I am sure may vary depending on the season etc)
Thanks again Britt!

Britt is amazing! She's fun, outgoing and professional!! She was with me from getting ready, to first look photos to the very end of the day. She puts you at ease so your photos look fun and not stiff. In putting together my wedding book, she has had the patience of a saint - I tend to change my mind quite a bit. She never complained but happily dealt with my changes. You can't go wrong hiring Britt!!!

We were amazed with Britt while she was shooting our wedding & reception! She fit right in with our gang of eclectic folks, and she was so much fun. Then when we got our photos we were absolutely impressed all over again! She captured all of the special moments, and she was affordable which was important to us. Being a same sex couple we were hesitant to hire folks we hadn’t met in person or heard about from others, but we defiantly made the right choice here!

Words can’t even to express how AMAZING Britt was and is. We had a meeting about a month before the wedding in which she asked me questions about what I wanted for that day. She made a list of important photos that I wanted and who I wanted in them. She also made notes as to things I didn’t like or want. On the day of the wedding she was early and provided a very calming yet fun vibe. I knew she was there the whole time but never felt as though she was in the way of anything. Her photography is simply stunning. It was the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. Not only did she capture the love between my husband and myself she captured the fun and vibe of the whole evening. Mid reception we went back outside for more evening photos with just my husband and myself. This was truly a special time. She has such a unique eye and it was a pleasure having her capture our special day. She has now also continued to photograph for myself, my family and my friends! It doesn’t have to stop at the wedding. She what’s an eye for capturing all those special moments in your life!

Words can not even begin to describe how happy we were with Brittany! She was more than we could have ever asked for and she helped make our wedding so special. Brittany was so professional and organized, she knew how to pose and work with the bridal party, the entire family, even our big puppy dog! We wanted sunset photos so bad and it unfortunately started to rain but, Brittany was prepared and recreated the perfect "sunset" photos for us. It makes me so estistic that we have such amazing and beautiful photos to help us remember our wedding for the rest of our lives. I very strongly recommend Brittany for any event!!
