About
💥 Hey Thumbtack friends!
Just a heads up — I personally pay for every lead I receive on here (between $25–$100 a pop 😅), so please only reach out when you're ready to book a session, event, or wedding. If you're last-minute — no worries! I’m online most of the day and usually respond fast-fast 💨
Now, let’s talk about what I do...
I’m Brandi — a connection-chaser, joy-documenter, and hype-woman with a camera. Whether I’m capturing your wedding, family session, celebration, or corporate magic, my goal is the same: to bottle up the real stuff — the love, laughter, personality, movement, and that something special that makes your people yours.
When you look at your photos, I want you to see your favorite version of yourself and the soul of your relationships — preserved with style, heart, and color (so much color). 🎉
Let’s make something unforgettable ✨

Brandi was perfectly professional and got all the right shots. Her turn around time on the photos was so fast and we were able to use them for event-end marketing! Very very impressed!

Brandi is such a pro!!! I spent a long time looking for photographers and was having all sorts of communication issues until I found Brandi. Brandi’s booking process was quick and simple. She did all of this research on my event venue before we even spoke on the phone and came into our call with incredible ideas and excitement to make this the best shoot possible. Brandi quickly got the photos edited and back to me and they were gorgeous and in a well organized and easy to navigate gallery. I say, save yourself the time going back and forth looking for other photographers because Brandi goes above and beyond and you’ll be sure to get amazing photos.

Loved partnering with Brandi for photos at a large event in Downtown Oakland. She was a thought partner and took amazing photos for a book we're publishing in 2026!

I could NOT have pulled off my wedding without her! We decided to elope in San Francisco city hall, not ever visiting it before. Brandi was my first hire from the thumbtack app. She was an absolute delight and breath of fresh air every interaction we shared! We held multiple calls, exchanged text and ultimately she took my vision and brought it to life! I feel like the luckiest bride! She made everything so special and made me feel comfortable by all her reassurance and gave me exactly what I wanted, breathing photos to last a lifetime! Thank you!

The English language does not have adequate words to how wonderful working with Brandi was. With only three days notice, Brandi helped me execute a perfect surprise party for my godsister. The images are beautiful, she captured every moment we hoped for, and build a beautiful little portrait studio for us and our guests to enjoy. Thank you so much, Brandi! I very much appreciate it.

Awww thank you so much! I really appreciate the review. It was such a pleasure hanging out with your group! And I am thrilled that you all are loving the teasers! There are more to come!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I work with my clients to compose a pricing package that is a win-win; in other words, the price fits their budget and I receive a fair amount as payment.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I work hands-on with clients to ensure each picture I take tells their story (plus a little flare). For all photography gigs, I first meet with clients to get a sense of their story, goals, personality, and personal style. We also decide on several logistics such as photo shoot location, price package (e.g. digital images and/or prints), contracts (to formalize our agreement...it protects clients), photo delivery, and prints/album options. After our first meeting, I routinely will send clients example images and share ideas until we decide on a particular approach/style. On the day of the photo shoot, I work very hard to exceed client expectations. Immediately after the photo shoot, I begin editing the photos. Approximately 2-4 weeks after the photo shoot, I will send digital copies of the photos to the client. Albums take 1-2 months to complete.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a self-trained photographer. I have been photographing friends and family events since elementary school. I turned semi-professional in 2010 when I began taking professional images of vegan recipes and ingredients. Many of these images were featured in my double award-winning recipe book, Raw Foods on a Budget. In 2018, I turned full professional after photographing a family wedding (I was the lead photographer) and exceeding my own picky expectations. Since then, I have had a blast photographing special moments shared between family (immediate and extended) and friends. Check out all of my photo galleries at brandirollinsphotography.com.
