About

Photography has been part of my life for over 20 years. It’s more than a business in my family, it’s a legacy. While anyone can click a shutter, what sets me apart is the experience I create for my clients. Your story deserves more than average images. I work closely with you to capture authentic moments, natural confidence, and timeless photographs you’ll be proud to share. Whether it’s a wedding, special event, or milestone celebration, my goal is to help you look and feel your best while creating memories that last far beyond the camera.

Brandon is a reliable and talented professional who is easy to work with. On short notice, I asked him to do an on-site photoshoot to capture my engagement proposal. It was planned for a holiday and the hottest day of the year, but that didn’t deter Brandon. When the day came, he was on the beach exactly where he needed to be to photograph the proposal without being seen. Then we spent over an hour doing a couples shoot. The photos all turned out great and my fiancé and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be using Brandon again for future events.

Details: Proposal photoshoot • Traditional posed • Candid • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • My home, venue, etc.

I spoke with Brandon extensively in regards to doing photography for my stepson's wedding. He returned my message and called me on the phone immediately and was very passionate and thorough about his process and services he provides. Although, we ended up going another route because a friend of the family became available I feel confident about recommending him for a consult (I also viewed his portfolio which was great!)! His prices are very competitive as well! As I have been planning a wedding in a short order of only 3 weeks, he definitely helped take away some of time stress with his prompt response and being one of the few vendors that reached out to me with a phone call so that I could get information and ask questions right on the spot and could get done in 15 minutes with a phone call that would've taken multiple emails back and forth and waiting.

Details: Wedding • Fewer than 25 guests • Outdoors • Physical proofs or prints • Album or photo book
