Live View Studios

ting, and very professional. The response time to any question is quick and he ensures that he knows exactly what you want photographed on the day itself. He and his team really know what they are doing and are able to capture some truly beautiful moments that are 100% genuine. Plus, the look of the film photography is really beautiful and timeless. We could not recommend him enough!

who works in the fine art industry, photography was incredibly important to me. When I discovered Live View Studios fine art photography, I was sold. Their style is fresh, bright, romantic, and restful, and Brent works with both digital and film photography (#filmisnotdead). My husband and I planned our wedding from Utah, but our long-distance was never an issue with Brent. We Facetimed several times so that when our big day finally arrived, we felt as if we already knew him. He and his wife, Anna, sent us sweet surprises and cards in the mail throughout the process. It was a such a sweet touch from such a thoughtful couple. Brent is delightfully goofy in person which helped us all to relax and act natural in front of the camera. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken before that day, so our sneak peak photos reflect just how comfortable Brent made us feel on our wedding day. We cannot wait to see the rest! Already, I've truly never felt more beautiful than in Live View Studios' gorgeously crafted photos.

ence between someone who photographs weddings solely as a job or a side gig, and someone who’s truly invested and passionate about it- Brent genuinely cares about the couples that he works with. Being a young couple with unique and difficult careers, Brent was incredibly generous and flexible with our budget and timeframe. I work in the fashion industry so I can confidently say that he and his team are very talented and he produces beautiful work- his technique and attention to detail are amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone local, as well as to anyone who may be a bit far away- he’s worth it.

t be happier with them.

were our top priority and Brent far exceeded our expectations. I was also looking for someone who shoots in both film and digital and he does both! Brent is incredibly talented and able to create beauty and intimacy from seemingly mundane scenes. He also has such a fine attention for detail, reflected in his photographs and the way he interacted with us. I appreciated how he kept us updated throughout the process and was always just a calm, relaxed presence throughout the busy-ness of the wedding day. Can't say enough good things about Live View Studios; if high quality wedding photos are a priority for you, this is it.

the way. He walked us through every photo and made us comfortable. Very professional and talented. I can't imagine how the day would have gone without him! Would definitely recommend him and Live View Studios!

its true, the day truly does fly by. We wanted someone we could trust, without having to worry if they “got the shot.” Brent got the shot and then some. His images are beautifully composed and artful while also being natural. He was perfectly at ease and always held his composure which helped us relax and enjoy the day. Aside from the beautiful images, Brent is a straight up pro. He scouted the place beforehand. Kept in touch with us throughout the entire process. Provided a beautiful gallery for our images, to make it easy to download and share with family. Sent cool mailers and little surprises throughout. Basically an above and beyond experience more then what we could have hoped for. We can’t thank Brent and Live View Studios enough for the memories and heirloom images. It was an honor to have him capture the day and to call him a friend.

ding were beyond beautiful, and I am so happy I have them to invoke memories of that happy day. The wedding album is absolutely gorgeous and definitely captures a strong sense of place and emotion. He also did a great job working in shots that we had requested. I really enjoyed having him shoot our wedding because Brent valued getting to know us and making us feel comfortable. He sent us a lot of "extras" that made us feel really special, and it's clear that he genuinely cares, not only about the final product, but also about the people he's working with. My husband and I are both lawyers, so we are pretty detail-focused and have high expectations. Brent certainly exceeded them all. We couldn't recommend Brent and Live View Studios more! Thank you Brent and Live View -- you guys are the best.

in the middle of December. =o) He was a trooper and captured the personality and feel of our wedding in every shot.

captured the mood and personality of our wedding and our guests. The lighting was perfect, and I am obsessed with all the film shots. They are timeless elegance and I can't stop looking at them over and over again. Thanks again Brent - you are truly talented!

ister's wedding, so I knew he would do an incredible job with my portraits. He was very flexible in picking a date that worked for both his schedule and mine, and was able to provide great recommendations for possible locations. The location he suggested ended up being better than I imagined. The portraits turned out beautifully, just as I expected, and I am so thankful that I have these images. I can honestly say I will cherish them for a lifetime.

both photography and videography and Brent completely exceeded those expectations in both the lead up to the wedding and the finished product. Along every step of the way, we got thorough updates, flexibility, assurances, helpful info, good questions, and the final photos and video are stunning! Each individual photo was just as great as the last. There were no "filler" photos. Even the photos of people dancing at the reception captured individual moments instead of a mass of people. His service and expertise went above and beyond being a photographer for the day. They sent fun packages, date ideas, and were happy to answer any barrage of questions we could throw at them. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Brent!

iness with them. Our experience the day of the wedding was nothing but positive - from start to finish Brent and his second-shooter Kevyn were professional, flexible, and the perfect addition to the day. After getting the photos back I couldn't be more pleased - every one is a beautiful piece of art and a special way to re-live the memories of the day. I can't wait to get our photo book from them in a few weeks - that's another thing that Live View Studios does well: gifts! From Christmas to wedding gifts, they generously give both of their talents and beautiful heirloom treasures that will be in our family for years to come. I would highly recommend Brent to anyone in the North Carolina area looking for a fine art film photographer who deeply cares for his work, family, and clients.

d an extremely talented artist. Our wedding day was very hot and Brent was very accommodating in terms of getting great pictures without us overheating. We are incredibly happy with our pictures and will cherish them for many years to come. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for anyone that wants high quality and beautiful pictures taken for their wedding or for any other special event!

n 24 hours. He accommodated our extremely busy and unpredictable schedule to set up an initial meeting. My husband and I are not the biggest fans of getting our picture taken and Brent made us feel at ease and comfortable during our wedding photos. The pictures from our wedding are absolutely beautiful, and above and beyond what we ever expected! There are so many pictures capturing fun moments during the reception that I didn’t even see him taking!! We have had compliment after compliment regarding the pictures. I love that Brent does digital as well as film (so rare to find!!) Overall, our experience with Live View Studios was fantastic; I would recommend them to anyone wanting good quality photography!!

to be around. They graciously invited us into their home to meet for the first time and discuss how they shoot weddings to ensure they were a good fit for us. Anna and Brent do an amazing job of telling the story of who you are as a couple and this was reflected for us both in our engagement session and our wedding photos. They use light beautifully and make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. When we suggested to Brent and Anna that we would like to do our engagement shoot at a B&B they were just as excited as us to shoot at a new venue. Interestingly enough, our wedding venue (The Angus Barn) is very popular and I have seen many friends and acquaintances photos their- but I felt that ours were unique and did not feel repetitive of other couples who have been married at the Angus Barn. Throughout the planning process, Brent and Anna sent us various reminders that they were excited for us to start our journey into marriage and also excited to be our friends. We received several goody bags with the most lovely hand-written notes that were fun reminders that we had truly picked the most lovely and personable photographers out there! If you choose to use Brent and Anna you will not only have lovely pictures from your wedding, but you will also be treated with courtesy and warmth throughout the whole process. My husband (!!!) and I whole-heartedly recommend Live View Studios!

ant to work with. I must admit, neither my husband nor I have had much experience with photographers, but I feel that made us even more hesitant. However, Brent and Anna put us at ease at every step of the process. They were easy to work with, provided great service and we are thrilled will the final outcome in the pictures!!

nd we are very satisfied with ALL of our wedding pictures. We were very lucky to have had Brent and Anna photograph our wedding (and our beautiful engagement session), and we HIGHLY recommend Live View Studios to any person or couple that wants beautiful pictures taken of their special moments. Brent and Anna are easy to work with, flexible, and take great pictures (not to mention excellent editing skills).

professional and creative in their photography, but their natural friendly personalities allowed them to really get to know us and be able to capture our wedding day celebration beautifully. They are very well at communicating what to expect so that you do not stress over anything photography related. We had a remarkable experience with Brent and Anna. We not only had great photographers for our wedding day, but also gained two great friends along the way.

oviding guidance along with a professional and creative vision. They go above and beyond to ensure a lovely memory of the perfect day. THANK YOU!!

y with professionalism of always timely doing what they said they were going to do, but also with the phenomenal pictures we now have as a result of choosing to work with them. Our engagement photos were wonderful on the outer banks, and we had a great time taking them with Brent and Anna. We had a beautiful wedding and they absolutely captured our favorite parts, and even helped us see things I think we were too busy to actually notice the night of the wedding.

enough to win a giveaway where Live View Studios in conjunction with Heart Love Weddings would photograph our wedding, engagement pictures and even the rehearsal for FREE. And that wasn't even the best part. We were beside ourselves with the news of our win but the icing on the cake was Brent and Anna's total dedication to our wedding festivities from start to finish. We met with them sometime in the Fall just for a getting-to-know-you session and 3 1/2 hours later we knew we were in the right hands. Brent and Anna had prepared a welcome basket for us filled with things that were unique to us, some dog treats, some Irish liquor and sweets. It was so personal and thoughtful. We met with Live View Studios in our hometown of Charlotte for our engagement pictures. We were looking for an urban feel because our wedding would take place in the middle of the North Carolina Mountains. Brent and Anna nailed it with capturing our love and laughter. We had a lot of laughs because we aren't particularly used to photo shoots. Brent and Anna didn't pressure us or make us feel out of place. They were extremely encouraging and helpful throughout the entire session. Leading up to our big day we had multiple emails and a few face-times. Brent and Anna were extremely resourceful, organized and wanted to go over every detail. This was an enormous compliment to their work-ethic considering we had WON this contest. Another photographer may have put us on the back burner but not Live View Studios. Brent and Anna treated us with the same dedication they share with each couple they represent. I sent Brent some of my favorite poses before the weekend, just a few, and I'm so glad I did. They were able to recreate the pictures with their own artistic touch making them authentic to our big day. Live View Studios is a wonderful team whose dedication goes above and beyond what most vendors put forth during a wedding. You can rest assured that they will be there to guide you through the entire process and are eager to explore the uniqueness and love that you share as a couple.

s so exciting. Brent and Anna are clearly in love and their marriage works so well in their business. Anna is super creative and warm and encouraging throughout the entire process (and as a bride it was awesome to have someone just smiling at me all throughout the wedding day) and Brent is technically very skilled behind the camera and fun and gets the shot quickly. They really allow you room to be yourselves during both the engagement and the wedding. They both really love on you a lot from the moment you inquire to even after you're married; it feels much more like hanging out with friends than with wedding professionals. We loved our experience with them and all the fun little gifts they gave throughout the process! Live View Studios is truly wonderful!
