Brad was nothing short of amazing each and every time we worked with him! He photographed my husband and me three very different times- for our engagement, on our wedding day and once more for a styled photo shoot. From the first day we met him, we loved his gentle, genuine and easy-going personality. He made us feel comfortable just being ourselves which made all of the sessions so enjoyable and allowed him to really capture us in his photographs. He is always quick to respond to emails and phone to calls to address any questions or concerns. Most importantly, the end result of each of our shoots was an incredible gallery of photographs! I can't begin to tell you how many compliments we have gotten on each set of images! We are so grateful for all of the beautiful photographs he took of us, our friends and family. Given the chance to work with Brad again in the future, we would take it in a heartbeat! read more

On top of it, Brad's calm demeanor was essential for an anxious bride! Beyond grateful for an incredible team who captured beautiful moments. Highly recommend Brad!! read more

My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Brad to document our wedding weekend. He was referred to us by our wedding planner, who I depended on for most of our vendor decisions. After checking out his portfolio and a quick chat, I felt confident that we'd found our photographer. Brad joined us on Friday evening for our rehearsal dinner and again on Saturday for our entire wedding day. He was completely unobtrusive, which is important, but he was also super easygoing and a lot of fun to have around throughout the day, which in my opinion is even more important. Everyone was so at ease with him, which I truly think comes across in all of our photos. My favorite thing to hear from friends who weren't able to attend our wedding is how seeing our photos made them feel like they were there. He truly is that good at capturing the emotions from your wedding day. Brad's turnaround time for our photos was extremely quick (we got them while we were on our honeymoon about two or three weeks after our wedding), and the prints that I've received so far have been absolutely gorgeous. I would recommend Brad a million times over to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding photographer. read more

My wife and I hired Brad and his partner, Sara, for the day of our wedding. Full transparency, this is the only vendor we booked without even having a face to face meeting. Needless to say, we were a little nervous about it, but Brad made a great impression over the phone! From the start, we really appreciated Brad and Sara's relaxed and confident approach to the process. We met them a few weeks out to talk specifics and immediately felt validated in our decision. We talked about all of the must do shots, and some extra's that we wanted just for us. They were extremely accommodating, and offered great suggestions that we used on the day of to make our pictures exactly what we expected. They even helped us to develop our timeline for the wedding. They came through particularly well during some shots we took following the first look. As my wife and I tested a lift we wanted to bust out during our first dance, the clasp on my wife's wedding dress popped right off into the grass. Surprisingly calm, my wife and I looked for the clasp, and tried to figure out how to fix this quickly for more photos. Enter Sara: Before we knew it she sprung into action and began sowing the back of the dress back into place leaving plenty of time to get all the shots we wanted. This is just one example of how attentive they both were, and how easy they were to talk to and work with. After our wedding, Brad sent us a few teaser photos over the next couple of days and returned all of our photos (during busy season) beautifully finished and way faster than we expected. If you want two people that will make family photo's a breeze, capture more moments instead of poses, work in all of your requests, take phenomenal pictures, and act as a flash seamstress when needed, look no further! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day so it was important to us that our photographer took great photos and was also nice to be around. Brad was equal parts present/funny/calming, while also knowing when to give us space so we could soak in the day just the two of us. read more

We can't stress enough how happy we are that Brad was our wedding photographer. Brad was so friendly and professional when helping us decide on a package, what to expect from the day and really helped us with the timeline too. We decided not to do a first look, so we did our portrait photos during cocktail hour. We told Brad how we wanted to do them quickly so we can enjoy a bit of cocktail hour. Brad was SO thorough in scoping out the perfect spots and finding these BEAUTIFUL hidden gems I never would have known existed if it weren't for him. We took our portraits with enough time to enjoy cocktail hour and never worried about the quality of the images. Throughout the whole day Brad captured every single moment, some I didn't even remember until looking at the photos. Brad is such a pleasure to work with and I barely noticed him the entire day! When we got the photos we had high expectations, but Brad exceeded them by far. Every single picture is stunning, and perfectly captures each moment. Our photos are vibrant and beautiful, and completely unique to us and our day. We've heard from a ton of our guests/friends that these pictures are the best wedding photos they've seen. Brad is the absolute BEST. Will definitely hire him again for any other professional photographer needs. read more

Without a doubt, the best photographer in the area. From the initial call to our engagement shoot to the wedding to the post-wedding follow up, Brad has been incredibly professional, knowledgable and fun to work with. He makes the bride & groom at ease with his relaxed style, but his dedication to his craft is unparalleled and certainly shows in the output. Trust me - give Brad a call when you need a wedding photographer... you won't be disappointed! read more

Brad took photographs at our elopement ceremony in Newport, RI and the whole experience was first class! Brad arrived early to make sure he was there as soon as we were ready for him. He shot photos during our ceremony and then we spent about an hour with him going to different spots in Newport for more photos. Brad and I had spoken ahead of time to map out a basic plan for the locations but that evening he was flexible and added a few additional spots in. Our session was fun and relaxed and Brad did everything possible to make sure that we enjoyed our evening! And above all else, the photos were stunning! He captured great moments during the ceremony and had an amazing eye for backdrops that would look fantastic in pictures. I can not stop looking at all the photos! I would recommend Brad to anyone who is looking for a supportive and helpful photographer and amazing memories captured in your photos! read more
