100/10 would recommend for your wedding

If I could give Brian 100 stars, I would. I cannot put into words just how obsessed my husband and I are with our wedding photos. They are truly magical.

We initially fell in love with Brian's photojournalistic, candid style of photography when researching Charleston wedding photographers. We were also excited about his ability to shoot film as well! After some IG stalking, a few phone calls and emails, Brian was officially part of the team that helped make our wedding so amazing.

Brian captured our day so perfectly, from our first look down to even the tiniest of details. His photos really told a story. And that story was one of anticipation, joy, relief, romance, and revelry. You can truly feel the emotion exuding from each photo he took of our big day.

Aside from his insane talent, Brian is also one of the nicest humans on Earth. Truly. His calming presence was much appreciated during the hustle and bustle of our wedding day.

Please, do yourself a favor and book Brian as your wedding photographer. It was the best decision we ever made!

The best decision you will make!

I've been trying to write this review for a week, and the best thing I can come up with is this: hiring Brian as your wedding photographer will be the single best decision you make in your planning process. Brian was a recommendation from our wedding planner (the amazing Erica Peper!) and I fell in love with the vivid, real style of his work immediately. What really sealed the deal, though, was talking to him about it. His passion for photography was so tangible, and it was obvious that he would pour himself into capturing our wedding as if it was the most important day he would ever document. Now that we have the photos in hand, I can say that was absolutely true. Every time I look at them (which is more times a day than I should admit...) I notice a new favorite. When I've shared them with friends, everyone comments on Brian's talent for capturing exactly what the day felt like – through the stunning portraits, the detail shots, and countless snapshots of moments you could easily overlook. Both during my bridal portraits and on our wedding day, I felt completely at ease – his energy behind the camera is infectious. If you sent me back to the beginning of wedding planning, I would hire him 10x over. He's a joy to work with and his photography is second to none. I couldn't recommend him more!

Brian is Your Guy!

Brian was the first vendor we booked. We found him after noticing an engagement session he did with another interracial couple. For us, it was very important that we selected a photographer that could capture both of us. After meeting with Brian, he immediately set the tone for other vendors we were going to work with. Brian was personable, detailed, thorough, engaging, and his attention to detail was impeccable. We felt connected with him immediately, which we knew was going to be important both during our engagement shoot and wedding day. He is remarkably talented behind the camera. His communication from engagement to wedding was timely, seamless, and clear. He was accommodating and made my vision for our engagement shoot come to life! As he put it, "Vanity Fair!" Brian knew exactly where to go for the best shots in Charleston, and made us feel completely comfortable and confident. He got along marvelously with our videographers, and other vendors. Everyone raves about our photos to this day. We could not have asked for a better result. I say this all the time, and sincerely mean it. Brian has gained lifetime customers in us! We wholeheartedly recommend him!
