    Far beyond expectations!!!

    From the moment we had our phone interview/consultation, we knew we found the right photographer for our special day!
    Brain was professional and clearly experienced. He planned out our photo session with friends and family at the church following the ceremony and the reception photos far exceed what we could possibly imagine. Words cannot express how fortunate we were to have booked Brian for our special day! 10 out of 10!!! Thank you Brian!

    Picture perfect!

    We loved working with Brian! Brian was professional prompt, and kind every step of the way. He listened to us and exceeded all our expectations. Not only were the pictures beautiful, but we got them back sooner than promised . We will definitely be using Brian in the future.

    Awesome experience

    Brian was awesome during the entire process of our wedding! From the initial talks to our engagement photos to the wedding day, he made everything easy and worked with us to get the exact look we wanted! He was on-time (or early) to our appointments, was easy to get ahold of, responsive to our ideas.

    On our wedding day, Brian got there early and was able to take some amazing shots of the venue, the parties, and just general shenanigans! Even during the staged photos, he put everyone at ease and relaxed. Best part was he got us all our photos, with edits and touch-ups, in less than a month!

    Also, if you're planning a themed wedding, couldn't recommend a better photographer. We had a May 4th wedding, with touches of Star Wars and he made sure our photos reflected that. Especially the ones he edited into Star Wars backgrounds!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Brian was amazing! He’s not a pushy photographer who will ask you to do a pose you don’t like. Prior to the engagement and wedding, he asked for some inspo pictures and he had it printed during the sessions. Our guest loved how hands-on he was with us! They said it was easy to do the pictures because he has a printed copy to show them. Our wedding started a little bit late and he was very patient about it. And we love how he angles and edits the picture!

    Wedding and Reception

    Brian was amazing to work with from the very beginning. He went over everything in detail and gave plenty of suggestions. He thought of things that we never did. The photos he took were great. There were no "bad" photos and he captured, I believe, every moment of the wedding and reception!!

    From start to finish Thirty Three Photogaphy was easy to work with and provided excellent service.

    I would totally recommend Brian Callan and Thirty Three Photogaphy. Easy to work with and wonderful final product. The only con is that all of the photos looked so good we had a hard time picking out our favorite photos...they were all our favorite photos! Quick turnaround also :-)

    More than I could have asked for

    The engagement and wedding photos were absolutely stunning. Brian is super professional and helped narrow down locations for the engagement shoot. He also has couples send inspo photos they’d like. You can be as interactive or as formal as you choose. Same went for the wedding shoot. It gives your bridesmaids and groomsmen more comfort when posing too. The photos from my wedding are something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Oh! And the flash drive he delivers the photos on is stunning. The entire experience with Brian was phenomenal start to finish. I haven’t had a chance to download my wedding photos, but feel free to look at the engagement photos.

    Highly Recommend Thirty-Three Photography!

    Brian did an amazing job on all our photos. He helped me with not only my timeline but helping us decide with our first look and scanning the best places for taking our photos. He took so much stress off my plate. I could not have imagined my special day going so perfectly without him!

    Wedding Photographer

    Brian was the absolute best choice we could have made for our wedding. He was easy to work with and made us feel comfortable right away which was really important to us! He was professional and on top of things, and did a great job rolling with the punches while handling a large group of people. We are so grateful for Brian and the wonderful work that he did. Thank you again for everything!

    Brian is the best!

    Brian is wonderful to work with! From our first conversation I knew I wanted him to be our photographer & I needed him in my corner for this wedding. He has such an understanding of how weddings work from start to finish, he helped me make so many decisions in addition to just pictures. He was extremely professional & made the whole “posing part” of our wedding easy for us. My husband does not like pictures at all and he could not stop talking about how great Brian was and how he made it enjoyable and not awkward. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend for any event, definitely check out his website, shows his wide range of experience and expertise!

    Look no further - hire Brian at Thirty Three Photography

    Working with Brian was arguably the best choice we made in the entire process! He was communicative at every step of the way, extremely professional, and the pictures themselves turned out absolutely perfect! I cannot recommend him enough.

    Most amazing experience

    I cannot recommend Brian enough. He was absolutely an amazing person to work with and he was very accommodating. At first, I was nervous especially since our wedding was at the local aquarium and I was afraid the pictures would either be too dark or too bright for the fish and we wouldn't be allowed to take photos. Not only did the photos come out amazing but he even helped us with a special request to do a photoshoot separately with our dogs since they could not be at the aquarium. I cannot thank him enough for making our day special so hopefully this review and amazing photos help.

    Easiest choice of our wedding planning

    Brian was the only photographer we talked to, and we have not for one second regretted it. From the first look through his work, we knew he was the only choice to photograph our day. He was so much more than a photographer, and helped with our timeline, was happy to recommend other vendors, made sure we knew what should be on our radar and when, and never made me feel silly with all the questions I had. But most of all, the memories he captured for us are beyond amazing. We will treasure them forever!

    Amazing photographer

    Brian is very professional when it comes to his work. We he tells you he lives for photography he really does. He works with you with whatever you need! When I got my wedding photos back I cried reliving the moments during a very special day between me and my husband. I am very grateful for the work Brian did the day of the wedding (and we got married right when tropical storm ophelia) and he made sure we were still able to get photos outside 🥰 you will not be disappointed when you choose Brian. He makes packages geared toward the couple and what you want versuses others where they tell you, you need to spend a certain minimum with them

    Most Amazing Experience Ever!!

    Brian was amazing! From day one he was so helpful with everything! From the engagement photos with our fur babies, to the wedding photos, it was such a great experience! My husband and I have never been huge on photos but from every angle, Brian made them all amazing! He always had great ideas that flowed and he made the experience so comfortable as well as he was always flexible to make things work best for you! 10/10 would recommend working with him!

    Such a great wedding photographer!

    Brian was wonderful to work with! We had a great engagement shoot with him and recieved the pictures quickly! He was great in the planning process as well The day of, he didn't miss a beat! Looking over the 700+ wedding photos he sent us is so fun because he did such a great job capturing the magic and party of the day. Despite having 80 guests, everyone was represented in the pictures.
    I love that after the engagement photos and wedding photos, he sent a few teaser pictures for us to become obsessed over! The wedding photos were even more special arriving in a special keepsake box and 2 extra flash drives for our parents! We would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a professional, affordable, and talented photographer.

    I highly recommend Brian. You won’t regret your choice!
