Thirty-Three Photography

y down to reminding us to be mindful of sun exposure leading up to the big day so we wouldn't be sunburnt for the ceremony. His experience shows in his portfolio, and I appreciated how he has the whole process down to a science. I haven't gotten all of the photos back as I'm writing this, but he's already sent some examples and I am more than pleased! Photographers are unavoidably expensive, as I learned with the planning process, and I believe that Brian offers excellent services for a decent price. Were I to do it again, I would absolutely hire Brian again.

ures and they came out great!! 

ample timelines really helped me plan the day out. DO the engagement session! You will get to meet him and get a little more comfortable behind the camera before the big day. Have pose examples ready because he wants these pictures to be everything you've dreamed of. On our wedding day, he was calm, friendly, and so quiet! I barely knew he was there throughout the reception until the big moments happened. The pictures all came out incredible. I would recommend him to anyone for any event.

l cherish forever. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend him!

much great advice. He worked seamlessly to coordinate with our other vendors and helped us move through some unexpected mishaps that occurred throughout the day. The photos we got are breathtaking and captured our special day so well. We have access to an online gallery as well as 3 flash drives with an extended gallery and slideshow of the day. We opted out of hiring a videographer, so the slideshow is a really nice alternative. We had lots of fun with some custom Star Wars scenes, sunset lighting, bubbles, and more. We highly recommend choosing Brian to capture your special day!

Even on the big day he stuck with the schedule we discussed and everything went so smoothly and the pictures came out sooooo beautifully! I highly recommend booking Brian for your wedding pictures you definitely won’t be disappointed!

s back the very next day! He communicates well and responds quickly to messages. We would recommend him to anyone!

!! He pays attention to the small details and helped us plan pictures around sunset! His pricing is also incredibly affordable! We will forever cherish the pictures he captured on our wedding day and continue to book him for future events!!

, fun, and truly a joy to be around. We highly recommend Brian for any wedding or elopement—he’ll make your day unforgettable.

in the area. He was very willing to work with us on schedule and locations for our shoots and ceremony. Bryan was very professional in all his communications and delivery of his product. We could not be happier with the results!

to achieve. We had about an hour long conversation to kick things off, he gave us a free engagement photo session which really warmed us up to the experience of being photographed. We had a silly engagement session, very fun, he was down to go off script but he utilizes your sample photos mainly to make sure you get the shots you want. For our wedding he brought smoke cans, light stands, and photoshopped some crazy stuff in for us. He definitely understood the assignment! OH YEAH, and on a BROKEN TOE I might add. After the wedding he sent us USBs, enough for each of our parents to have one as well, with the photos and a nice video of photos in succession. He was very accommodating to our silly photoshop requests - he was actually really pumped for it! He reached out to me to make sure he had the right 'power blast' references because we're nerdy and he respects that. If you want a photographer that makes you feel like you've been buds for a long time, does INCREDIBLE work, is diligent, makes you feel like you got a steal, and leaves you with memories that will last forever, Brian's your guy!

small intimate backyard wedding. Brian was able to pivot with my intimate ceremony and brave the brutal heat (it truly was the hottest day of the summer). Brian remained professional and captured every moment and picture that I requested. At the end of mine and my husbands photos we did fast pass photos with friends and family and Brian rounded them all up for us. My husband was THRILLED with his Star Wars photos which is what caught his eye when we were looking for a photographer. Brian got a special little request from our nephew and he honored it with his red lightsaber. (It’s the little things that matter the most!) 

on his face that made us all so comfortable!!! Could not be more happy with everything and how great our pictures turned out! Would definitely recommend!!!

ing him there. We 10000/10 recommend him. Thank you Brian for making our special day even more special.

out was how he went above and beyond on the day of our ceremony. Unfortunately, it poured rain on our special day, forcing us to relocate everything at the last minute and preventing us from using the beautiful venue we had chosen. Without hesitation, he offered to speak with the venue on our behalf and arranged a second shoot on a sunny day, completely at no extra cost to us. He gave us extra hours of his time, purely out of generosity and commitment to making sure we had the photos we dreamed of. The photos and video turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the emotion, the details, and the magic of our day perfectly. We are extremely happy and satisfied with his service. He is truly amazing, and we can’t recommend him enough!

start to finish, he was kind, professional, and incredibly talented. He made us feel comfortable every step of the way, and his calm presence helped ease our nerves on the big day. Brian has a true gift for capturing authentic moments, and his sunset photos are nothing short of magical. He showed up to the venue early, Worked with us on the weather with our engagement session, incredibly amazing process on all his packages and worked with us to customize what works best for us, we will forever use him for our photographer! He timed everything perfectly to catch the golden light, and those photos are absolutely breathtaking, They’re the kind of images you want to frame in every room. He didn’t just document our wedding but he captured the moments we can share with everyone. We are beyond grateful and can’t stop looking at our gallery. If you’re dreaming of stunning sunset shots and a photographer who genuinely cares, Brian is your guy. We truly couldn’t be happier!

ding up to the event and ensuring our day was perfect. He was well worth the investment and all our family and guests raved about how organized and professional he was, not to mention how amazing the photos turned out! Highly recommend!

th every step of the way! We instantly knew after our phone consultation with him that he was a fantastic fit for us! He helped us decide on the perfect location/date/time for our engagement photos, arrived early to the photoshoot, and quickly provided us with those photos less than a week later. He helped us create the timeline for our wedding and guided us through deciding how we wanted to capture our wedding day. He was always prompt and professional when responding to any questions we had. On our wedding day, he arrived at our venue more than two hours before our ceremony and stayed until our grand exit in order to get every shot we planned together. All of us absolutely loved his wonderful sense of humor on a day that can be so stressful! Additionally, he sent us a gallery of over 400 of our wedding photos just a week after the wedding and ensured we received our physical flash drives with over 500 photos and a video slideshow set to music that he created just days after that. We are so grateful to have found Brian and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for any special occasion!

or us. It was amazing that he includes an engagement shoot with his package. This allowed us to learn how he works and get our nervous jitters out as well as build confidence that we actually can take cute photos. He also was able to make location recommendations to us and clearly is familiar with the Hampton Roads area and knew so many beautiful hidden spots. I had concerns that he did not have a second shooter, but he does not need one. He was able to be everywhere all at once. I'm not sure how he was able to get all the shots he got of us from different angles, all while being completely non-obtrusive. My dad made several comments about how he must have been standing right next to him based on the camera angles, but he doesn't remember seeing him at all. He just blended right into the background while capturing all of the important moments. In the days before the wedding, he spent over another hour on the phone with us going through the plan to make sure he knew exactly what our expectations were. He arrived at the venue before us to take photos of everything beforehand. Then split his time perfectly between the girls and guys getting ready shots. During our extended cocktail hour, I was very anxious about where we stood on time, and he was reassuring that everything was going exactly as it needed to. He was incredibly organized with his shot lists and clearly put a great deal of prep time into getting ready for our big day. He was flexible in working around my grandmother's limited mobility in allowing us to get amazing photos with her. We wanted to go to a second location during cocktail hour and he was completely on board and worked with the venue to get them on board with us leaving our guests unattended for 90 minutes. We did our private vows at that location and he was very unobtrusive while we did them. He captured so many sweet moments of our personal vows (again while making himself completely invisible so that we had that moment completely to ourselves). During the reception, I was anxious again about the timeline, but he kept reassuring me that it was our day and we can do whatever we wanted to do. He was also incredible with my nephew and humored him while he followed him around all night pretending to be his assistant. His turnaround time is incredible. He provided us with a sneak peak of photos the very next day, which was so amazing to have photos to share so quickly. Several people commented that they couldn't believe how quickly we got our photos back and my mom's jaw literally dropped when she saw the beautiful photos he had sent us. I loved his process for releasing the photos. He set up an online gallery and posted them in little chunks, so it wasn't overwhelming to look at them all and it was several days of excitedly looking over the photos. We got our first big set of photos less than two weeks after the wedding, then the rest over the next few days. He encouraged us with every set of photos to give him feedback and made sure that they were to our satisfaction. Once all the photos were in our temporary online gallery, he mailed us a physical drive of the photos (actually four sets, one for us, and three for our parents). The drive included a 25+ minute video montage of our photos set to music and over 900 photos. There were also over 200 additional photos that were not in our gallery preview. I love that he gives you free reign with the photos to print them anywhere and doesn't require you to print from him. The flash drive he sent includes a photo release form. Overall, Brian was incredible to work with and I strongly recommend 33 Photography. He wanted to make sure that he showed off the unique aspects of our wedding and ensure that he was meeting our expectations in upholding our vision every step of the way.

s. He was so much fun to work with. He listened to my ideas with regard to poses/vibe and executed them all. The sneak peak photos were stunning. The best decision you can make is hiring Brian. My husband felt at ease and comfortable with Brian too- we loved working with

to make sure everything flowed perfectly. Our wedding photos are exactly what we wanted! He duplicated our inspiration photos and captured all the best candid moments of the day. We absolutely recommend Thirty Three Photography!

edible. I was very worried about not capturing every moment with a videographer, but I have absolutely no regrets in only having a photographer. Brian captured every movement perfectly, and I will be forever thankful we found him to do our wedding!

ay! We had an engagement photo shoot ahead of the wedding which helped us become familiar and comfortable with Brian. His communication was on point throughout the entire process. He really cared about what we had visioned and what we wanted in our photographs. He provided a detailed timeline and list to help the process flow smoothly and efficiently. We appreciate Brian’s love for photography and 100% recommend him!

munication throughout. Many of our guests told us they really liked him too, nice and easy to talk to, they too were comfortable being photographed. He got a handful of pictures to me right away, to hold me over until he finished the package. I loved that! We had our full set of photos within a few weeks, a timeline that felt totally fair. I love all of the beautiful pictures taken that day, the candid shots, the staged ones all of them. I felt the rate was reasonable, and he even cut us a little break at the end, as our 3 year old daughter had the most epic of meltdowns during the ceremony, which the aftermath prevented us with the time and opportunity to get all the formal shots we had wanted, having to take turns tending to her and getting her settled (there is a fun memory hahaha). But he made it work and we couldn't be happier, and plan to book him in the spring for a family photo session.
