About This Vendor

I find the beauty in the everyday

Hi I am Brittany and I am the face of DesignsbyBritt! DesignsbyBritt was created in an effort to create an outlet for those that want beautiful, authentic and fun stylized candid photojournalistic style wedding coverage, that is very popular in New York where I trained, but at a more accessible pricing structure. DesignsbyBritt LLC is run entirely by me out of my home studio in Mechanicsville, VA. This is no factory style studio. I cater to your specific needs and I help people bring out their best selves and then I capture it and freeze it in time so that they will always have a tangible reminder of just how incredible they are! What makes me able to do that? It is my ability to connect with people and really engage them so that I may capture their authentic selves in a more radiant way is what I believe makes DesignsbyBritt unique

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 straightfo...
rward. 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.

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!
