JOYFUL MOMENTS AUTHENTICALLY
Photographing Your
weddings
From details to authentic candids and everything in between.
After 12 years in the wedding industry, I have fine-tuned my approach to creating an experience where you feel comfortable. Along with taking beautiful photos, I believe that a good experience starts with how you FEEL. I bring my warm but excited energy to every session and wedding and am able to guide you and your party through photography with ease... and a little humor.
My goal is to photograph your authentic selves and capture the spirit of your wedding as it relates to the energy, people, place, and details. Your final gallery will be a ride down memory lane... recalling specific memories you lived through and moments you may have missed. Your wedding gallery will be a well-rounded vision of thoughtful details, candid moments, and beautiful portraits of yourselves and your favorite people all in one place.

The
OMG, you're getting married! After I receive your inquiry, I’ll return your email in 24-48 hours and we’ll set up a time to speak over the phone. Why? Because it’s so much easier to speak with a person to answer your questions than get tangled up in emails! We'll discuss your wedding day vision and the best collection for your needs! Don’t worry, I’ll send you a post-consult email with all the details!

BRETT IS EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A PHOTOGRAPHER & MADE OUR DAY SO ENJOYABLE!
She is professional, talented, organized, easygoing, funny...the list could keep going! My husband and I have are blown AWAY by the incredibly gorgeous and natural photos Brett took of our wedding. We were blown away by how much Brett made photographing our wedding so enjoyable. One of my bridesmaids who has been in a ton of weddings kept marveling that it was the least stressed she'd ever felt taking photos. We trusted her completely and could not happier that we had the chance to work with her.

Brett Is so personable & fun to work with!
We would recommend her to anyone!
My wife and I decided to elope because of Covid. Brett shot a friend's wedding and she was vendor I could not forget! Brett was very flexible in helping us decide on a location for our elopement and understood our unique needs. She provided guidance on best lighting and was very confident and prepared. On the day of, she took charge without being overbearing, which was exactly what we needed! Everyone commented on how courteous and professional Brett was. Three hours later, we had sneak peeks which was such a surprise!

Brett feels like one of your best friends on wedding day!
I AM OBSESSED WITH BRETT! My 30-minute consultation with her turned into 60-minutes and I knew she was 'the one!' She is extremely comforting, easy to be around, and fun! She made Pat and me feel so comfortable and at-ease and she knew what she was doing. Her turnaround time is great - she sent us the full gallery within 2 weeks!
