Justin Leon Brown

and couldn't have asked for anyone better. I am so excited that we made the decision to go with Justin and now have the most stunning pictures to remember our special day. Thank you Justin!

g into photographs, but Justin made us feel so comfortable. He had the best ideas for what photos to take and where and all of the details in between. We love our photos that he came back with. They truly show us as a couple, and we couldn't ask for more. I will recommend Justin again and again!

tting a feel for his photography style and bubbly, outgoing personality, we knew immediately that he was the right choice to be our photographer. My husband and I aren't the best at being in front of the camera and certainly not used to having a camera around us for a whole weekend, but Justin was the best at making us feel comfortable and getting us to be our natural selves for the pictures. Logistically, Justin was also amazing at keeping us all on track / on time while getting every photo in our shot list. We got our photos back this week (less than a three week turnaround time - that's unheard of!) and I haven't stopped looking at them since. Every photo is so gorgeous and perfectly capture all the smiles, laughter, and beauty of the weekend. I'm so grateful to have these photos to cherish for years to come. Thank you, Justin!

t shoot and the photos are sooooo beautiful. Do yourself a favor and book Justin.

ed out. We especially appreciate their photography style that is all about capturing the emotions of the day in a real way rather than taking a lot of posed photos (but we also got plenty of those to have memories with our wedding party and family and friends). We are so glad we chose The Happy Bloom to capture our wedding memories :)

attention. I not once felt uncomfortable. We got our wedding photos back and WOW. Justin captured our happiness and love so perfectly.

nd was excellent at giving direction while still being exciting and fun. Highly recommend this photographer for your wedding or big event!

wedding photos back and we were blown away. He captured our day perfectly. They turned out more beautiful than I ever imagined. I love that he also took photos of little moments with our guests. I didn't expect that and I will cherish those forever. Not only is Justin a great photographer, but he has the best personality. He kept all of us calm throughout the day and helped make everything run smoothly. He makes you feel comfortable the entire day. I had nothing to worry about with Justin!

on the dance floor, he captured everything so beautifully. All of his pictures are so natural and capture the essence of our wedding day. In addition to his impeccable photography style, Justin is the consummate professional and so easy to work with. I knew we were in good hands with Justin right after our first conversation, he has such a special energy that is truly contagious. He also made everything flow so seamlessly so that we could relax and truly enjoy our big day. Both the bridesmaids and groomsmen raved about him. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

grapher. When I was speaking with our planners I let them know that detail shots and being able to feel emotion in photographs was of the utmost importance to me. Knowing this my planners said the best person I could work with was Justin at The Happy Bloom. I had an introductory call with Justin and he completely understood my vision, what was important to me in photography and he kept me laughing the entire time we were on the call. I booked The Happy Bloom the second we hung up the phone and couldn't wait to take our engagement photos with him. We took our engagement photos in June of 2020 and Justin put both my husband and myself at ease. We went to the cutest places in Downtown Charleston to shoot and the entire time we were with Justin it felt like magic. Again, he made us laugh the entire time while capturing the love and excitement between my husband and I. Of course when we got the pictures back they were stunning because Justin is the best. The experience with Justin on our wedding day was incredible. He was there to capture every moment between my husband and I. He arrived early and took the most incredible detail shots. He captured the spirit and excitement of our first look, which is one of my favorite sets in all the photos that were taken that day. Justin was there for it all and I will always be able to remember how I felt through out my wedding day because the pictures that Justin took exude emotion, which is exactly what I wanted for my photos. I was incredibly anxious to receive our photos and when we did they were more incredible than I can even describe. I truly can't thank Justin and The Happy Bloom enough for the phenomenal photos and experience that we had. Thank you Justin!!!

oosing between photographers and I talked with Justin, his positive energy and commitment to making sure the bride and groom are stress-free on wedding day were the things that stuck out to me. We are so happy we chose the Happy Bloom! This duo is so easy to work with and truly made the day seamless. Not to mention, they created the most beautiful photos of our wedding day that we will always treasure. Thank you so much Justin and Amanda!

d on their beautiful film photos and from the high recommendation from my wedding planner. After talking with Justin on the phone, I knew it was the perfect fit. Justin is hilarious and makes taking photos so fun. Justin and Amanda make you feel so comfortable, are so fun and easy to work with and they are also incredibly professional at the same time. We did both our engagement session and wedding photos with them and they are hands down the most AMAZING pictures I have ever seen. The happy bloom is incredibly talented and choosing them to be your wedding/engagement photographers will be the best decision you make! I can’t recommend the happy bloom highly enough!!!

or obnoxious in anyway. I could not have asked for a better day of experience with our photographers. Ohh and by-the-way, the product and the pictures turned out incredible. 10/10 for experience and interactions 10/10 for the final product as well

comfortable the entire day. Also—2020 wedding, so of course we had to reschedule. Justin was super flexible and we had no problems re-booking with him. All of our photos were stunning, we could not be any happier. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

. Their light and airy style captures timeless photos that readily depict raw emotions and personalities. Aside from producing insanely gorgeous pictures, they're fun and they radiate joy! As a result, we felt SO comfortable in front of the camera and were able to focus on each other during our engagement session, and on our wedding and guests at our actual event. Even further, they executed our timeline perfectly, which ensured that we were able to get down to business with formal photos after our wedding, and then easily move on to enjoy our reception. During the reception, they photographed with a fly-on-the-wall approach and they captured some insanely fun shots depicting just how fun our event was! We are SO honored and humbled that we get to say they were OUR wedding photographers! We hope that they will capture other special milestones in the future for us--truly the dream team!

tion wise to get the best shots. We’re so thankful we found The Happy Bloom!!!

he had an ease about him like he was one of our guests. He gave clear direction to our bridal party when necessary but was never pushy to get specific shots. He kept both my husband and I relaxed and most importantly let us enjoy being present with each other on our big day. Receiving our pro photos in a few months will be icing on the cake but we already know we will love them since he did such a great job finding interesting backgrounds and capturing the special little details of our big day. I would recommend working with The Happy Bloom without hesitation!

hing for the most perfect wedding photographer for our wedding. Not only is their style and attention to details above par, they have amazing personalities and are definitely two people you will enjoy having around you on your wedding day! During our engagement photo session and on our wedding day, Justin made my husband and I feel so comfortable as we both are not ones to love being in front of a camera. He helped us laugh and even helped wipe sweat off my husband because it was SO hot haha! Justin and Amanda were also very welcoming of the fact that we wanted our pup in as many photos as we could and that meant a lot to me and my husband. One of the other things that I really appreciated was that Justin and Amanda are very good at making sure that everyone they are taking photos of are focused and in the right spot when they need to be. As a bride you have lots of things to worry about, day of, but with Justin and Amanda as your photographers you won't need to worry about anything photography. They have you covered 100%!! We are absolutely in love with all of our engagement and wedding photos! He captured so many amazing moments and our unique details/style perfectly! Our family and friends had nothing but amazing things to say about Justin and Amanda and they also are SO in love with every photo we have shared with them. We are so thankful and grateful to have had Justin and Amanda a part of our wedding day! 100% you need to book The Happy Bloom as your wedding photographers - you will not be disappointed!

as a dream. He was so fun and relaxing to be around and truly made the day even more special. He knew the right spots for the best pictures which took a lot of stress off of us. We knew the pictures would be fantastic, but the results were even better than we expected!!! He got our gallery early and we haven’t stopped looking since. Justin is really able to capture the essence of the day and your love as a couple, it’s truly a talent. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to book with happy bloom and wish we could do it all over again. Thank you Justin and Amanda!!!!

s a destination bride and all of our communication was over email and Justin could not be warmer or more helpful. We felt very overwhelmed and out of our element, but they absolutely put us at ease. They instantly make you feel comfortable by just be conversational and encouraging and that calmed both me and my fiance's nerves. Everyone feels awkward in front of the camera, but you can trust that they will get amazing shots. Honestly, you basically just have to show up and they will make you look beautiful! Their work speaks for itself- seriously, it's editorial/magazine quality work. We haven't stopped looking at our pictures since we got them last week. They captured the happiness and magic of the day and made us look good! I can't recommend The Happy Bloom enough!

e're over the moon with our photos, they are breath-taking and capture the scenery, mood and our personalities beautifully. We cannot thank you enough!

hed pictures, I knew we were in good hands. Justin was always super quick to answer emails and incredibly kind to work with. He made everyone feel comfortable, and he fit right in with our small group. I honestly could not have asked for anything more, and these are pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.

hotographer for our special day. And boy were we right. The timeline ran so smooth and I never once felt rushed to get pictures done. They were so helpful and easy to work with. The pictures were back in a timely manner and man did they make me feel like the most beautiful bride ever!! Pictures were high on my priority list when selecting vendors and The Happy Bloom exceeded my expectations!!

king a wedding photographer was one of the hardest decisions for me to make out of them all. There is so much pressure put on picking the team who will capture the most important day of your life the exact way you want it to be captured and have no chance at a re-do. (no pressure guys, ha) I loved their work from the get go but after our engagement session in 97 degree heat with 93% humidity I thought to myself- no one can make that look good. When we got the photo's back I was OVER THE MOON with how crisp and how beautiful they were. Justin and Amanda are such professionals and I could not have been happier with the way they were able to capture those moments that made our wedding day so special and signature to us. Trust me brides- these two are the real deal!

d Amanda made us feel comfortable even though we are super awkward (haha). We figured we would only like a handful of our pictures from our engagement session (refer back to the part about us being awkward and not knowing how to pose under pressure). We loved almost all of them and even the ones we didn’t like of ourselves were still really good because Justin and Amanda just have a way of making each and every picture beautiful! Our wedding day was hectic because I decided to play wedding planner instead of hiring one. Justin and Amanda not only take amazing pictures, but they calmed all of my nerves! Amanda helped me move around in my gigantic dress and Justin made sure my family got their uber to the ceremony in time. Hire The Happy Bloom to capture the most important moments of your special day, you will not regret it.

able and keep everyone and everything moving. We would recommend The Happy Bloom to anyone and everyone who needs a photographer, for any occasion!

of a magazine. Not only did they capture all the big moments of our day but so many little details that I never would have thought to ask for. I could not have dreamed of a better documentation of our wedding. Not only is Justin an outstanding photographer he also has the most incredible personality that could make even the most strung/stressed out bride (that would be me) relax. And on top of an already amazing experience with them, the pictures came back unbelievably quickly. I would recommend The Happy Bloom to everyone.

we saw The Happy Bloom's photos, we instantly knew that they were very talented and wanted them to do our wedding. When we met Justin and Amanda, they were very friendly and easy to work with. They were both very laid back but also very professional. We had rain on our wedding day and were very concerned about how the photos would turn out. They did an awesome job of working with what we had in terms of weather and when we got the photos back we were extremely happy with how they turned out! We had many comments on how great the pictures were, and on top of that we got our photos back very quickly. We know people that have waited months to get their photos back, but we had ours within a matter of weeks. Overall great experience, great people, highly recommended! Thanks THB!

, they were professional, responsive, and made taking photos a breeze. They kept us on schedule during the wedding day, and were patient when things didn't go 100% as planned. I look forward to having beautiful photos to remember my wedding day! Thanks Justin and Amanda!

e throughout the entire day! We could all feel their energy and you can tell how amazing the pictures will be. Then when we got the pictures back - WOW!!! They completely captured the vibe of the day and made everything look gorgeous!! This was the best money we spent - they are absolutely worth it! We will cherish all of these pictures forever - and we have the amazing team at The Happy Bloom to thank for that!! Highly recommend them!!

hey responded to all of my questions and other random emails super fast, which to me is one of the best qualities a wedding vendor can have. Not to mention, they had my engagement pictures and wedding pictures to me so much faster than I expected which is always a pleasant surprise! Second, their work is absolutely stunning. My husband typically doesn't love taking pictures and Justin & Amanda even made him enjoy the process! They made us feel so comfortable, and taking pictures (especially on the wedding day) was a breeze! Thanks to The Happy Bloom, we now have beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever and probably never stop staring at. We absolutely loved spending our wedding day with two incredibly kind, talented, and fun people like Justin & Amanda. I truly cannot recommend them enough!

d in our luck to work with Justin and Amanda at The Happy Bloom. We were in Savannah working on the plans for our destination wedding and after an awful meeting with another photographer in town, my fiancé at the time tried to keep me calm by calling every other photographer in town we could catch. My first call was to The Happy Bloom. I had loved the airy, glowy, romantic feel of their photos and thought if I could be so lucky to work with them, I would jump at the chance. Minutes later Justin called me back and offered if I was free he would be happy to meet us for coffee to talk! Meeting him felt like we had met an old friend. Justin is not only incredibly professional, polished and with an impeccable portfolio, he is one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve met in really long time. Justin and Amanda made it so easy to work with them. Everything was so organized, it made the process a breeze! I am also super grateful we decided to do a ‘first look’ as well. I had held out wanting to be a traditionalist, but when all is said and done, seeing my now husband calmed my nerves, made the moment so much more private and personal and let us attend our own cocktail hour and party. I decided that feeling rushed on my wedding day was not what I wanted. I wanted to savor each moment and a first look helped us to do that. Justin and Amanda perfectly captured the most important day of our lives showcasing our love with beautiful light-filled photos we will cherish forever. I could not be more grateful to have spent the day with such lovely and talented people.

tos from both our engagement session and our wedding day. They were on top of everything from day one..from helping us choose which package best fit our needs, getting to know us while taking the most beautiful engagement pictures, to capturing our wedding day perfectly. They are both so easy to talk to, it felt like we had known them for years.. Such an important factor when it comes to including someone in one of the most important days of your lives! We will value these photos for a lifetime and cannot thank Justin and Amanda enough for helping us have these memories to look back at. We highly recommend The Happy Bloom for your big day!

ng a destination wedding! They were very flexible in our hard to get to locations, as well as working around our schedule to get us in for engagement pictures, and bridal portraits. Most importantly, the pictures they take are amazing quality, creative, and came out 100% perfect! They were able to get my now husband to pose and smile and actually laugh while having his pictures taken, which is a feat! Would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, fun, creative photographer!

hers and when we first met Justin and Amanda we knew right away that we chose correctly. They made the engagement session so much fun and taking the wedding photos were effortless (even with an awkward guys like my groomsmen). They really take pride in what they do and it shows in their work. We were so happy with the way our photos turned out!! Consider the Happy Bloom HIGHLY recommended. 11/10

t!!

l of the pictures look so effortless. They captured some very special moments down to the tiniest detail. We are completely thrilled with our pictures!

ay seamless. They truly listened to what we wanted as a couple and made sure that all of our "must have" shots were captured. I love the timelessness of our photos and that they were much more candid versus posed. I loved every minute of working with them as they are professional, considerate and all around fun people! Planning a wedding can be so stressful at times and they honestly made selecting a photographer so much easier! If you're looking for great photographers that are wonderful to work with, The Happy Bloom is for you!

aking photos FUN! Justin is great under pressure and knew exactly how to compliment and communicate with every single guest at our event! We will continue to use The Happy Bloom for every special event in our life!
