Choosing Juliana and Brandon to be a part of our special day was hands down the best decision made during wedding planning. These two created magic with their photos and they listened to every thought, vision, and dream I had as a bride. I trus...

ted their creativity and ideas 100% and I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to capture the best night of our lives! Not only are they wonderful photographers, they are just great people too! They made sure we were comfortable during every shoot, and made awkward poses/moments feel completely normal and fun. I can't thank them enough for photographing our big day, and for making the entire wedding experience truly a dream come true!

Juliana & Brandon at Peony have been an absolute treasure to work with! We booked them as our wedding photographers, but ended up postponing the reception to next year (they were super flexible and understanding with changing our date). We deci...

ded to hold a small ceremony with a couple of family members on our original date and they were there to photograph the event. They were SO great to work with. All my family members and my husband and I were so impressed with their knowledge and skills. They are super personable and make all the photos FUN! Not to mention, the photos came out AMAZING! They have some serious skills. I would 100% recommend them to photograph any event!!

I look forward to treasure these pictures for a lifetime. Peony photography was born for this! Thanks! Allyson and Michael Blanchard

I highly recommend Peony Photography to ANYONE in the market!
