Bradley and his team are AMAZING!! He is fun and every last one of my guests was raving about his outstanding personality and how he works the crowd well!! He was awesome with his communication before, during and after. I can’t say enough about his work being the most outstanding photographer I have ever worked with. Just got my pictures back and not only did he make everyone look vibrant and amazing he also told the perfect story in the pictures to my fairytale wedding!! Quality work that went above and beyond my expectations!!
10/10 recommend!
Bradley and his team were very professional but also so much fun to work with. They made us feel comfortable during the entire photoshoot and made sure to get all of the right lighting and angles that we hadn’t even thought of. We were very impressed by how the photos turned out. They helped capture our day in the most special way possible so that we can remember all of the fun, beautiful and loving memories for years to come.
Totally recommend the additional Photo Booth that they can provide. It added a fun element that our guests really enjoyed and they were able to get copies of their photos in real time to their phones.
Cannot recommend Bradley enough! My husband and I decided to elope about a week before visiting New Orleans and because of that came the worry of finding a last minute photographer. Bradley was happy to accommodate with such short notice. Leading up to our day he was very prompt in his responses and was happy to take the time to get the perfect idea of what all we were looking for in our photos. He even offered to drive us knowing we were out of town! As for our photos, we couldn't be happier. Bradley made us both feel comfortable the entire time and made us feel like we were with an old friend. He also knew of great locations to get the best photos. Bradley was professional, budget friendly, and truly captured our day perfectly!
We loved Bradley and Hannah! Bradley photographed my friends wedding and after seeing her pictures I had to use him. Bradley was laid back and easy to get along with while still making sure all of our wishes came true on our wedding day. Hannah was a great asset and was very helpful with posing and details on wedding day.
Bradley MF KING! What an incredibly talented photographer. I have a mutual friend with Brad which is how we met, but I got to see him in action at a friends wedding. I knew I needed him for mine, and he exceeded all expectations. He was directorial when needed (which we did cuz I am so awk in front of a camera) and he made us feel so at ease. And then we got the pictures back… and they were the most beautiful pictures ever. The editing was perfection, it was light and airy and romantic. Not to mention the photo booth he can provide which was like 2 birds 1 stone. Def going to find whatever excuse I can to work with him again. I’m serious…. Book Second Line.
I first met Bradley doing makeup for a wedding in 2019. He was extremely professional and knew how to work a group really well. From that moment forward, I knew that when I got married I wanted him to photograph my wedding. Everything about his timeless photo style, the way he works with others, and his ability to corral very large people made him a perfect fit for what I was looking for. My husband and I are both in the wedding industry and can confidently say that Bradley is the best in the business. We got all of our photos back from each session with within a timely manner. Our wedding was perfectly captured. You can truly see the joy on our faces and the fun our guests had.
If I could leave 6 stars, I would! When my husband and I decided to elope in New Orleans, I told him, "all I want is a great photographer to take photos around New Orleans". Well, let me tell you the photos are GORGEOUS! When we told Bradley of our secret elopement, he was in and helped us plan the whole thing- from the Officiant, to the flowers, to the actual location as well as phot ops after. Bradley is professional, punctual, creative and NICE. We are thrilled with the photos. We are thinking of celebrating a milestone birthday in New Orleans and will absolutely have Bradley take the photos.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to a true luminary in the world of wedding photography: Brad from Second Line Photography! Now, between you and me, I myself am a professional wedding photographer, but alas, on my own nuptial day, I had to set aside my camera and entrust the artistry to another. So, please allow me to regale you with a tale of sheer photographic wizardry courtesy of none other than the maestro of the lens, the sorcerer of snapshots, Brad King.
My dearest Brad, where do I begin? Let's talk about your time management skills – they're so impeccable that I'm convinced you have a time-turner like Hermione Granger. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of excitement, but you, sir, were the calm amidst the matrimonial storm. You managed timelines with such precision that I half-expected a pocket watch and a monocle to make an appearance.Now, let's discuss the way you deftly juggled our unruly wedding party. It was like watching a skilled circus performer handle flaming batons, only instead of batons, it was our rowdy group of friends and family. Your ability to maintain order while preserving everyone's smiles was nothing short of miraculous.And oh, the images you captured! They were not mere photographs; they were masterpieces, each frame a symphony of color, light, and emotion. You turned our moments into art, like a modern-day Leonardo da Vinci with a camera.Communication, my dear Brad, was your secret weapon. You were more attentive than a hawk spotting its prey from a thousand feet above. Your emails were like Shakespearean sonnets, your phone calls like arias from an opera. You kept us informed, reassured, and entertained throughout the entire process.But what truly sets you apart, Brad, is your ability to infuse humor and irreverence into every moment. You made us laugh when nerves threatened to take over, and you managed to capture those genuine moments of joy that will forever be immortalized in your photographs.In conclusion, if you're seeking a wedding photographer who possesses the dexterity of a tightrope walker, the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, the artistry of a Renaissance painter, and the wit of a stand-up comedian, then Brad from Second Line Photography is your man! Five stars? Nah, he deserves a galaxy of stars for making our special day absolutely extraordinary. Bravo, Brad, bravo!
If you want to look gorgeous and get a professional and experience photographer, look no further!!! Secondline Photography is the best. He photographed my wedding and bridals. They came out AMAZING!! The quality was above my expectations. He made me look like my skin was flawless and glowing! He also captured all the details of the special day. The clarity and quality of the photographs were gorgeous. I loved his work so much, I continued to use him for family photos later on. Yes!!! I am REPEAT customer!! I LOVED the way my family photos came out also!!! He has great ideas!! His suggestions are always perfect when you run out of ideas. Lastly, he is the kindest person you will meet!! I always feel so comfortable and at ease with him!! Do yourself a favor and look no more. Book this photographer today. You won’t regret it!!
We had such an amazing experience from start to finish with Bradley and Second Line! We did our engagement shoot with Bradley in Armstrong Park. He knew I was nervous and shy in front on a camera so he met us at the lounge across the street for a drink to loosen us up. We ended up having the most amazing time and it showed through our pictures. He kept us laughing and made us so comfortable. Because of this we've received nothing but compliments on our engagement photos. About 2 weeks later we received the whole gallery and were thrilled. He also did my bridals where I wore a black wedding dress (halloween wedding) and he pickjed the perfect wooded spot in City Park. They turned out magical!! For our wedding he was again so comfortable to work with and knowledgeable. It was incredibly windy that day and the roof of the hotel was restricted for construction so his quick thinking found us another spot to take my family and bridal party pictures which I will cherish! (Any excuse to post a wedding picture I still do 2 years later!) And my husband and his groomsmen look like something out of GQ for their pics walking around the quarter before the wedding. Every type of detail shot and photo on my list that I wanted he got. And everything came back so timely! Highly recommend his services and having a drink with him!
Second Line Photography is second to none! I can’t recommend Brad enough! I had the pleasure of having Brad photograph my engagement shoot and my wedding day. For starters, the prices were the most reasonable by FAR, and I did quite a good bit of searching before I came across Brad. Upon talking to Brad on the phone and experiencing how professional, yet delightful he is, it was clear that I made the right choice of photographer. From the start, my husband and I could both tell that Brad not only knows what he is doing, but he is so easy to work with. I have nothing but great things to say about Brad’s communication with me throughout the entire process, his reliability, and his personality. When we took engagement photos as well as the day of the wedding, Brad made it so comfortable. It felt like we were hanging with a close friend who just happened to be taking our pictures! Both my husband and I’s families really enjoyed having Brad taking photos too. We couldn’t help but laugh at Brad’s funny jokes. It was truly a highlight of the wedding day and the engagement shoot for me. As far as his work, it speaks for itself. He got some of the most beautiful shots throughout the process! I quickly noticed that Brad truly has a knack for thinking quick on his feet during shoots and finding great angles, shots, etc. That also made it super FUN and exciting, I don’t believe it would’ve been that way with many others. I was blown away at how stunning the photos came out! Brad’s assistant also did a great job of getting some candid shots of my wedding that I love! Another noteworthy thought is the photo booth. We rented the photo booth for our wedding day, and the guests loved it. It was super efficient being that it was small so it can fit anywhere, and everything is digital! Overall, Second Line Photography is the best. My expectations were exceeded on all parts and I’d recommend Brad to anyone! After the experience that I had, it’s a no-brainer who will be taking my next photographs.
Choosing Second Line Photography for our wedding in March of 2023 was one of the best decisions we made for our big day! I was familiar with their work before I was even engaged. The first thing I did after saying “Yes!” was call Second Line Photography to book our date. Owner, Bradley, took time to get to know me and my now-husband prior to our engagement shoot which made all the difference when it came time to start snapping photos! I have a shy personality but Bradley knew how to make us feel comfortable and bring out our fun sides. He captured my fiance’s goofy charm perfectly. He recommended the perfect spots around the city to showcase what we love about New Orleans. On our wedding day, Bradley and his team kept us entertained as they chased after our Second Line down Canal street snapping pictures and even climbing on a trash can at one point to get the perfect shot! They quite literally went above and beyond. We got our wedding photos back quickly and they are GORGEOUS. I have looked at them every day since and I will cherish them forever. They have several great packages to pick from but I highly recommend adding the photo booth! Our guests had a blast with it and loved that they could have those photos and gifs sent directly to their phones. Bradley responded to all communication quickly and professionally. We ran into some unfortunate issues with other vendors and Bradley helped me find new ones who truly saved the day! I cannot recommend Second Line Photography enough.
Being a COVID bride in New Orleans 2020 came with its own set of unique challenges, but Bradley—our extraordinary photographer— made everything truly magical! From the first look, to our ceremony at St. Louis Cathedral, followed by second lining to the reception! He captured the magic, the sparkle, the party, and most importantly, the love!
From the moment he stepped in, he brought an energy that was contagious and instantly made everyone feel at-ease! Not only did he capture the most stunning photos that we’ll cherish forever, but he also became a beloved friend in the process! His fun-loving nature transformed what could have been a stressful experience into an absolute joy.
Bradley’s impact was so substantial that our friends who recently tied the knot in Austin didn’t think twice before hiring him for their own nuptials after meeting him at our wedding and seeing his beautiful work!
If you’re searching for a photographer who brings professionalism, talent, and a dash of fun to your special day, look no further! His friendship and exceptional skill have made him our #1 recommendation. Thank you, Bradley, for being a monumental part of our wedding and now, our lives <3.
Bradley and his team are phenomenal! He shot my engagements, bridals, and wedding, and everywhere we went, we came across other vendors who knew and spoke highly of Bradley. Our engagement session was in City Park, which Bradley knew like the back of his hand, and even when it started to rain on us, he worked quickly and efficiently to get us the best shots. (They came out amazing.) For my bridal portraits, Bradley went above and beyond and spent hours getting the most beautiful photos at Felicity Church and the Orpheum Theater. At the wedding itself, he came with a highly equipped (and friendly) team of helpers, and they guided us smoothly through every moment of the day, as we hopped to and from different locations and rotated tons of people in and out of our photos. The resulting shots were amazing, and we’ll treasure them forever.
Bradly came highly recommended to us by a friend, and we have since referred him to our family and friends and will continue to do so. He is really the full package—great communicator, great planner, great photographer, and an awesome personality on top of it all. We had a blast with him everywhere we went and were thrilled with every photo he took!
I met Bradley years ago through senior portraits and knew that when the time came, I would ask him to take my wedding photos. His response to my inquiry was prompt and very heartfelt. The packages had a nice variety at a reasonable cost. Besides that, our pictures and my bridals came out AMAZING! We got so many compliments on the quality of the photos and the photo booth, specifically the gif and the text option on the Photo Booth. Bradley and his team took the time out to build relationships with myself, my husband, our families, and the wedding party to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had a ball!!
I adore the moments Brad captured during my bridal session and on my wedding day. Each is an authentic gallery of special moments-I can almost hear them when I look back through the pictures. Brad helped me pose, but still look natural—I look like myself. (I was so worried about looking too staged.) I had a summer wedding, a big colorful bouquet, and got married in an old gothic revival style cathedral—the way he was able to balance the colors was amazing! Better than I even imagined! We felt so comfortable around Brad. He made us all feel at ease, and as a result he and his team created a beautiful documentary of moments in time. Thank you, Secondline Photography, for perfectly capturing our day!
My husband and I first used Brad for my engagement pictures and we quickly realized that he was very personable and professional and that he was going to be our photographer for our wedding! There is just something about him and his team that make all the nervous butterflies fly away! The day of the wedding comes and everything is going wrong (like anyone’s wedding) and Brad showed up to take pictures and saw that I was in the middle of freaking out, he came to reassure me that we were on schedule and that he would photograph the grooms party first instead to give me the extra time to get myself together! He knows exactly how to pose you and what light to use so that you look flawless. I was so nervous and the pictures didn’t reflect that at all! My wedding was at nighttime outside and you’d never be able to tell, they look like they were taken in the daylight! He got along with everyone at the wedding so much that he blended away with the guests! The week before my wedding I decided I wanted to add the photo booth and he made it not an issue at all! He was more than happy to bring it and transport it all the way to Covington! It was such a hit with the kids and the extended family! I honestly couldn’t have asked for more and will recommend Brad to anyone who will listen for wedding, family pictures, he can do it all!
Brad & his team were AMAZING to work with! They photographed our wedding day. He was super communicative and when I had random questions a week before and he was out of country on vacation was still responding answering my questions. Our bridal party & groomsmen also had such a fun time with them and haven’t stopped talking about how fun they were and all while things still ran so smoothly and promptly! Our pictures came out so beautiful and will forever cherish each one of them. Couldn’t have asked for anything better- highly recommend!
I originally purchased a package and added on the Photo Booth for $400 since the venue we booked did not have one already. We ended up switching to a new venue that had a Photo Booth, so I asked if I could get a credit towards the next payment or just get the $400 back since we no longer needed his Photo Booth. He told me he was unable to refund the money or give credit, but would offer me 2 mini photo shoots in the future free of charge. I took that option with the intentions of using him for my maternity pictures within the same year.
As my husband and I were anxiously waiting for our wedding pictures, I got them one night while I was out of town. I decided to wait to show anybody, including my husband, the pictures until I got back in town. Meanwhile, I was informed that Bradley also sent the link to my photos to my husband’s cousin, who he knew. I asked her not to share them, but she told me that Bradley had asked her to send them to her sister (he did her wedding a few years back) as well. So not only was this unprofessional sending out my pictures that I paid for without my permission, but my husband’s family got to see our wedding pictures before he did and before I could have the pleasure of showing them to anybody. When I finally worked up the courage to email him about this situation and how upset I was, he responded by saying he would rather just refund me the $400 instead of doing any future projects with me. He told me to send him my Venmo information, and he would pay me on August 12th. On August 15th, I messaged him to remind him to pay me, and he said it would be another week or so. On August 30th, I sent him another message reminding him about the money that still was not sent to me, and I have yet to receive a response from him.
This has been a nightmare of an ordeal from what was supposed to be the best night of my life. Now when I look back at my wedding pictures, I will always remember the negativity surrounding them. Make sure if you book him that you clarify you do not want your pictures sent to anybody else but you. Apparently, he told me that he usually sends them to not only the bride, but people that attended the wedding that ask for them.
Brad and his team are truly the best at what they do!! He is so easy to work with and super communicative. He made us both feel so at ease both for our engagement pictures and on our wedding day and you can see that in our pictures. His work truly speaks for itself. And book his photobooth! It was a highlight of the night.
Bradley is the person you want to have by your side for every special occasion. The engagement and wedding photos we received are stunning. He made it so easy to be yourself. I can not describe how comfortable I felt that he would get every shot that we needed with no issues. He personality is contagious and he keeps your laughing. You would be missing out if you do not hire him and his amazing team!
Looking for a wedding photographer? On the fence? Do not hesitate to hire Brad. He is responsive to questions, fun, and creative. Legitimately one of the best parts of our wedding. I have no doubt that our pictures will be amazing. Also, get the photo booth!! You won't regret it.
Honestly, it's hard to even put into words how much we appreciate Brad and his team at Second Line Photography - They are INCREDIBLE! We did an engagement shoot a few days before our wedding, and Brad made it so easy and fun! He has this trifecta of natural talent, learned skill and genuine love for what he does. His eye for getting a cool shot is impeccable.
On the wedding day, he and two assistants knocked it out of the park. Again, they were so much fun (my family and wedding party are still talking about how cool they were), and they made getting through "the shot list" so easy and smooth, along with some fun extra photo ideas. He says his goal is to capture "how it felt", and he does exactly that.
Brad is such a great person and talented photographer, and I cannot recommend him enough! Hopefully, we can come back and do some fun anniversary shoots with him!
Thank you so much, Brad!
We cannot say enough good things about Brad and his crew! I immediately was drawn to his style of photography as he is elegant but also fun and uses "real colors" as I described it, rather than using lighter filters that I kept seeing on other wedding photographers portfolios. We had an online interview with Brad and we immediately felt like we were friends with him! He was hilarious, professional, and knew exactly what he was doing. He made us feel comfortable during our engagement session, which made us so excited for our wedding day photos! I honestly used Brad's advice for day-of timelines and wanted other vendors to go off of what Brad needed because I trusted his judgment so much. When we got our photos back, we were so overjoyed! It was SO HARD to narrow down photos to purchase large prints of! Our family members are still telling us they can't get over how beautiful our portraits are and how fun the reception/second line pictures are! We thought his pricing was very reasonable and hope we can use him again for future photo sessions! Thank you, Brad and Z, for wonderful memories and all your hard work!
From our engagements, to Bridals, to the wedding, Secondline Photography gave us the absolute best pictures for every session! Brad & Colin make you feel as if you have been friends for years. They made sure to listen to exactly what I wanted and nailed it. This crew went above and beyond for us. They exceeded every expectation a bride wants for her wedding. Brad & Colin make you feel such at ease during your big day. I really don’t know what I would’ve done without them. They kept us on track and fit everything I wanted in such a limited amount of time! They really make sure that every picture is so perfect & has the best quality! I would book with them 1000 more times! Don’t hesitate to book Secondline Photography, they are the best!
I am absolutely in LOVE with our wedding photos!!!! If you are looking for an incredible photographer that will make the entire experience fun and put you at ease then Brad is your man!! I am not that girl who always knows how to stand or position myself, so I knew I needed someone to look out for that and my husband was worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but Brad really took care of us. He had us and the whole wedding party laughing and genuinely enjoying ourselves which was reflected beautifully in our photos :) Just wow!!
After receiving our wedding photos, I am absolutely blown away at how lucky we were to have Brad as our photographer!! My husband and I are just disappointed that we live out in California and won't be able to have Brad take all our future event/family photos.
Bradley was amazing for both our engagement pictures and our wedding!!!! We have received so many compliments on our engagement photos and I cannot wait to see how our wedding pictures came out(just got married 2 weeks ago). Bradley is so easy to work with and he makes everything fun! it has been a true pleasure having him for our special moments!!
Man where do I start! Brad was AMAZING. So many people complimented us on the unedited photos he took. He has an amazing personality and brought his A game. Worth every penny!
Brad and his team were incredible to work with! They were great the entire day and night. Brad was so accommodating over the course of the year we worked with him. Every single picture we got back helped us relive the best day of our entire lives. I can’t recommend Secondline Photography enough!
Brad photographed our wedding absolutely beautifully and we are so thankful he was there for every moment! He flawlessly captured the emotions of the day, and definitely knows how to work the light! Our pictures came out clear and crisp and we will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. Brad, we can't thank you enough for being our wedding photographer, and we highly recommend Second Line Photography if you are looking for professional and quality work.
Brad was wonderful for our daughters wedding. He handled everything with a smile. We had several locations the day of the wedding and he did not miss a detail. We have an unbelievable amount of pictures to select from. The action shots of the reception were amazing. As parents of the bride we were busy visiting with guest so it was awesome to get the pictures and see things we may have missed . With the large wedding party he was able to capture everyone! We definitely recommend Second line without hesitation!
Bradley is seriously the best!! He took pictures from start to finish! I didn’t even have to ask about different poses because he already knew!
PS get the photo booth! It is so worth it❤️🎉
Brad was punctual, professional, easy to communicate with and we had so much fun working with him. The pictures all came out SO good and it's so hard to narrow down which ones to print! He is really great at capturing the mood, the moment and all the beautiful feelings surrounding these special times in your life. He was really helpful and had everything under control, but was also open to anything we wanted to try. His personality & attitude took away the stress of the big day and he was a pleasure to work with.
I’ve been following Bradley’s photography for years and when I got engaged there was no one else I wanted to capture my wedding. Bradley is very responsive and his easy going attitude makes him a joy to work with during the hectic day of. His photos are stunning and his perspective is unique with an unmatched attention to detail. He is the best!!
Bradley with Secondline was WONDERFUL. We love everything about working with him. He keeps everyone at ease, the energy really great and he is just super fun. His work is BEAUTIFUL and speaks for itself. Any bride and groom would be super lucky to have Secondline do their wedding photography.
Hands down the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Brad does an amazing job capturing the night exactly how you remember it! Not only does he take amazing pictures but he also helps the night run as smooth as possible and pulls it off effortlessly. I never saw him get frustrated or have anything less than the best time ever the entire night. The absolute best thing about Brad is how affordable his prices are without sacrificing quality. I received over a thousand photos between engagements, bridals and wedding photos and am happy with each one of them! Cant sing my praises loud enough for Secondline Photography and would recommend to anyone!
If I could just shout this review from a rooftop for all brides to hear... I would! Choosing Secondline Photography was the easiest decision I made and probably the best decision I made regarding the wedding (other than my groom!). From the very first minutes of our initial phone call, I knew Brad was the photographer for our wedding as I could tell he would be a joy to spend the day with and I was right! Brad is just awesome to hang out with- super relaxed, fun but professional demeanor than really puts you at ease during these stressful times. My photos from both my bridal session and ceremony are absolutely beautiful! I could not have asked for better! He captured my day so beautifully! I am just so thrilled. Also, I must say he is so easy to communicate with and always responds in such a timely manner which is a huge plus. Highly recommend Secondline Photography!!
Brad was the best. We decided to elope so I knew I wanted amazing pictures that would let us relive our special day forever. I loved his work online and social media so I reached out ASAP. He had our date available and answered all the questions I had. He pointed me in the right direction to obtain our photo permit at city park and assured me we would still be able to get my dream pictures at Jackson Square afterwards. His communication was always so quick and so helpful which put this out of staff bride at ease. When we met him the day of our ceremony he was wonderful. The pictures as saw on the back of his camera were INCREDIBLE! I literally screamed in the street, “I LOVE IT!!!!” when he showed me some! He has an eye for creativity and had us stop at multiple spots for different backgrounds. We know turn around time for pictures is several weeks but we told him we really would love just one picture back that evening so we could make our big reveal on Facebook and do family via picture. He said no problem and again went above and beyond and sent us 7 pictures that evening. This man is worth every single penny. One of the best things about him is he is so down to earth and personable and it was never awkward with him. My life goal is to get him to fly to Texas to do all of our pictures starting now until forever!!! Thank you SO much Brad!
Brad is the absolute best! If you need a photographer this is the best one around! He listened to everything I wanted and definitely delivered! Brad made sure everything was perfect and even got the attention of all my flower girls. Brad thank you for everything, you made my day even more perfect by capturing all of the special moments!
Not only is Brad's photography top notch, his customer service skills are equally great. From the planning process to the big day, Brad was so easy to work with. He was quick to respond to all questions during the planning process and offered great advice. He was prompt and professional the day of the wedding. The day went so smooth because of Brad's expertise. He made everyone feel comfortable and was not intrusive. The turnaround time on receiving pictures was quick and the photos are phenomenal. He captured our day perfectly and didn't miss any memorable shots. I highly recommend Secondline Photography. You will not be disappointed.
Brad is the Drew Brees of wedding photographers. He wrangled large groups of people professionally and was so helpful throughout the process. Would recommend him a thousand times!
Brad is absolutely amazing! Being a professional photographer myself, finding someone to photograph our wedding was no easy feat. But from the moment we met Brad, something clicked; and hiring him was one of the best decisions we could ever have made. I often feel like a fish out of water in front of the camera, but not with Brad. His personality made me comfortable and relaxed, and that made for amazing shots. We worked together for engagement portraits, bridal portraits, and the actual wedding. Each experience was fantastic, and the only problem I had with the photos was picking which ones to print because they were all amazing. Brad's eye for capturing moments and emotion is second to none. I cannot imagine my big day without Second Line Photography, and I would recommend this company to any bride looking for the experience of a lifetime and beautiful portrait memories.
Finding the right photographer was my biggest priority when planning the wedding. We’d been through a drawn out process of trial and error by the time we came across Second Line Photography. The wait was worth it. Brad is extremely personable and has the unique gift of finding his place in any crowd—and believe me, ours was a diverse little bunch. Guests have raved about how Bradley and his second photographer were open and available for any and all photos throughout the evening. He made sure to seek out the types of pictures we wanted, and didn’t spend too long on ones we didn’t. The Second Line team was punctual, professional, and incredibly patient despite repeated hiccups in our day of schedule. For any bride that has finding a great photographer at the top of her list, Second Line is it. You’ll be hard pressed to find another that manages to take countless quality photos while bonding with your guests and feeding football scores to the groomsmen.
Secondline Photography was my first experience with professional wedding photography, and for that matter, professional photography in general.
When I asked my wife who she wanted for our wedding she immediately said Secondline given that she had seen Bradley's previous work and seen him in action at prior weddings and after going through this whole process, I can see why.
There was no stress with Secondline at all. He met with us to discuss our particular wedding needs, was patient with my inexperienced questions, and paid attention to what we wanted. I told him in the first meeting only that it was important to me to have candid shots of me and my wife at our wedding, for instance, and he delivered spectacularly without ever needing to be reminded.
Both Brad and his assistant photographer (we paid for two picture shooters) were perfectly punctual and professional the day of the event even in the face of other unprofessional vendors.
After receiving the pictures of our wedding (something like 600 of them) my wife and I were delighted to see very high quality pictures.
I absolutely recommend Bradley and his team for you, especially if you're like me and inexperienced in these types of things.
For my wife and I, Secondline set the bar for quality work and great pictures.
Thank you, Brad, for perfectly capturing our memories of our wedding for us.
Brad is the absolute best. I had worked with him at some friends’ weddings so I knew I wanted him to photograph my wedding. He was the first vendor I booked after getting engaged. Not only does he capture beautiful images, but he’s super accommodating and easy to work with. Brad is just fun to have around at a wedding - which made our pictures even better. He’s reasonably priced and worth every cent. We also used his gif photo booth and our guests loved it! Highly recommend everything about Secondline Photography.
On our most important and exciting days of our lives, my wife and I had so many stresses and worries on our wedding day. Flowers, cake, catering, setup, etc......
However, one thing we had zero worry about was the photography. Brad and Seond Line Photography removed any doubts we had about capturing our joyous day. Brad’s understanding of not only the art of photography, but his ability to capture the raw emotion of marriage, whether happiness, love, or anxiety, was absolutely astounding. From suggested poses to creative and unique use of props and sentimental objects, Brad’s imagination is only trumped by his skill. Our wedding pictures turned out 1000 times better than we could have ever expected, and we had high expectations. My words can’t fully express the depth of my appreciation for Brad’s abilities. Because of him, my wife and I will never forget every happy, silly, and embarrassing moment on the happiest day of our lives.
A lifetime of thanks to youBrad; because that’s how long our beautiful moments will last because of you!
Bradly had become a part of our family over the the last 2 years. He has done everything from our engagements, to our maternity pictures. He’s beyond easy to work with and will do what ever is needed to get the most amazing shots! He makes you feel comfortable from the get go and takes the time to get to know you as a couple, which is hard to come by now and days.
Brad was absolutely incredible every step of the way! He was very timely in all of the correspondence we had prior to the wedding. When our wedding day came, he made my wife and I feel very relaxed and confident for our photos before the wedding, which is not an easy task on your wedding day! The result was the best set of wedding photos we could ever have. We had our wedding at a cabin in rural Mississippi and the weather was horrible. Brad was kneeling in the pouring rain with mud everywhere to make sure he could get the perfect shot EVERY TIME! There was not a hint of irritation or regret for getting himself in the middle of that. In fact, it was quite the opposite! He was genuinely excited to photograph in that type of environment and the creations he could come up with! If you decide to go with another Photographer, you decided wrong.
The top priority for my wedding was finding the best photographer. I inquired with over 15 different people for availability/prices and met with 3. Bradley was our favorite from the start! Not only did I want someone who took great pictures-I wanted someone both me and my husband felt comfortable in front of. My husband isn’t big on pictures let alone “romantic pictures” but Bradley made the engagement shoot excellent! Not awkward- not stiff- just a genuine reflection of our relationship. He’s just like having a friend around to offer support and help guide you through doing something most people aren’t natural at doing. Even during my bridals he constantly reassured me how great I was doing, how pretty I looked, or how perfect that shot was etc.. and was never pushy or demanding! We even had to reschedule my bridals 3 Times because of weather and he was excellent about making that a breeze... something that goes a long way in 2018! He captured every aspect of our wedding day—before/ during/ after. And got every moment I was hoping to get on film! Even the ones I don’t remember 😂 (Bonus fact* when dealing with vendors for weddings you’d be SHOCKED to see how many of them act like they don’t care or don’t get back to you within a timely manner... talking weeks with some of my others...but Bradley always responded and was available to answer my questions anytime I messaged him) If you chose Bradley you won’t only get the best photographer you’ll get a great friend!
Brad was absolutely phenomenal. From the first meeting with him I knew I wanted to book him for the wedding!! He's so easy to talk to and great to work with - which is so important when you have the stress of a wedding on your shoulders. The actual day of the wedding he was running around everywhere, sweating like crazy in the New Orleans August heat while simultaneously not getting in anyone's way. He and his assistant worked so hard and it paid off. All of the photos captured the day so perfectly. The reception photos are my absolute favorite because he really got in the middle of the crowd - because of him, we have priceless photos of the crazy dance moves of our friends and family and the never-ending smiles on our faces. SO highly recommend. This is an area in planning your wedding that's so important - choose Secondline Photography!!
Other than marrying my bride, I think Brad was the best part of my wedding experience. From the engagement photos, to the wedding day, Brad was able to organize and mobilize everything beyond expectation.
Not only does he do an excellent job with the pictures themselves, he provides an incredible personality that allows you to have fun with the entire process. Even in a time of chaos, Brad made the wedding day run smoother than we believed possible.
His pricing is more than fair, and above and beyond the value of what you get. Even if you live in a different part of the country, I highly suggest booking Brad for your photography. You will not be disappointed.
If there is one thing I did right when planning my wedding (other than picking out my groom) it would be working with Brad for photography. I met Brad for one of my girlfriend’s weddings the year before when I was a bridesmaid. One of the things I like the most about him is that he is so adaptable to each and every bride he works with. I explained that of course I wanted family and wedding party traditional photos but I was really most excited about candid shots and especially of my family and friends with us at the reception. He delivered exactly what I was looking for and more! I am excited to work with him again at BOTH of my sisters weddings next year!
I love my photos! Bradley was easy to work with and had great ideas! He also knew the exact time I was “done” with taking photos. Which for someone who hates taking pictures this is key. I just got my pictures back last week and cannot stop looking at them. Your wedding day goes by in a flash so being able to look at beautiful photos to relive the moment is amazing. I cannot pick just one picture to frame. Thank you Bradley! If you are looking for someone to capture your special moment look no further.
Bradley is...the BEST. From the day we got engaged we knew he was the first person we needed to call to make sure he was available for our wedding day. He knows exactly what he is doing from start to finish...which was amazing because I didn't have to worry about a thing. He is calm in the midst of all the chaos...which always felt like a breath of fresh air. And his photos...he captured every single moment from start to finish. He takes his time on editing his photographs because he truly cares. He was able to capture all of the memorable details and the specials guests that attended. His photo booth was a hit- it was so much fun. Secondline Photography will exceed your expectations.
Brad is awesome! He really takes in any ideas you have and is open to doing whatever you imagine! He made everything really easy and he makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera! From engagements, bridals and the wedding it was like he was our friend that was taking pictures! I 100% recommend him for your wedding! Thanks Brad!
No regrets with Brad as our wedding photographer! We did an engagement session first with Brad and he was so easy to vibe with. My husband and I are not great "posing" picture people and Brad made it so easy and comfortable and got amazing shots! He's punctual for events and professional. I got a lot of comments about how great he was at the wedding from family and friends! I'm still obsessed with looking at our wedding photos!
Brad is the best! Not only are you getting a wonderful photographer, he goes above and beyond the call of duty! A collaborator of all things wedding, a vendor who is easy to get ahold of, someone who can guide you on the day of and so much more. He’s professional to work with and fun to have around!
Brad did both our engagement photos and our wedding. I did a ton of research before booking a photographer, and something about his work drew me in! He is a true professional, super organized, and very easy to work with. My entire bridal party, parents and friends were very impressed with his professionalism. Even almost a year from my wedding, I look at my photos almost daily. You can’t go wrong with second line photography!
Going into my wedding, I knew that there was ONE aspect that I would give the biggest portion of my non-reception budget to, and that was my photos. Pictures have always been incredibly important to me, so finding the right person to capture our big day was priority number one. As soon as we picked the date, we started researching photographers. My husband and I both knew IMMEDIATELY after meeting with Bradley that we wanted him to be our photographer. Truthfully, I think I knew before. Bradley was so easy to talk to, and even though he was based out of Baton Rouge at the time, he made it possible to meet with him in New Orleans. I worked insane hours and had just gotten in a car accident, so traveling was really out of the question. Bradley was so accommodating it was ridiculous. We literally booked him hours after our first meeting. He didn't mind my awkward ways and was on board with the notion that I can't ever smile and just make faces. He was totally down for the challenge. I can say with 100% authority that Bradley's photos aren't just beautiful; he makes the whole experience better. I had the good fortune of standing in my friend's wedding, and he was actually her photographer too. He's so calm and relaxed and easy to work with. That meant so much to me, because I'm a walking ball of nerves. He kept in contact with me in the months and days leading up to our wedding, and on the big day, he did not disappoint. In fact, because we developed such a good candor, he knew all of my insecurities and anxieties before the day, and he was sort of like my champion. He kept the photographs moving and didn't let anyone in the wedding party drown out my voice. He kept reminding me to breathe in between pictures, giving me breaks, and reminding me it was almost over. He even showed me shots on his camera to remind me it would all be worth it in the end. He didn't force me into shots or poses he knew would make me feel awkward and ridiculous, and I really appreciate that. He captured the day without staging it. Our friends and family RAVED about how on point he was. I've only gotten a few sneak peek shots back, because it's only been two weeks, but the pictures so far are BREATHTAKING. I'm so excited to get all of my pictures back. I can't say enough good things about the experience you get with Secondline, and I'd recommend them to anyone.
Choosing a photographer for your wedding is no easy task, especially when asking friends for recommendations which should make that search much easier. But I felt that after numerous ask for recommendations I never was able to get a recommendation from our friends whom have been married way before we got married. That alone told me they did not like the experience they received. So during my search, I not only wanted a professional who took great pictures but I wanted the experience from a professional photographer who created such that experience from the first time we met and well after the wedding. That experience being many things such as providing recommendations on outfits or other wedding vendors they trust, best places to take engagement photos, working out plans for wedding day pictures even in the event weather may not permit as planned, and may more things that make such a wonderful wedding experience. But most of all, I wanted someone accountable and responsive. Yes, it is very easy to say I want someone who takes amazing pictures but the process is not just that. The process is so much more when choosing the perfect vendor for this task. All of the items on my checklist for a wedding photographer were checked off by Brad King with Secondline Photography. Even more so, today I rave about my experience and show off our pictures as much as possible. Best of all, I can truly say I recommend him 100% to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
