    If I could give more than 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Brandon photographed our wedding and it was the single greatest decision we made. He provided the most beautiful photos and gave the edits back so quickly. My husband and I are not normally comfortable in front of a camera and Brandon provided the best cues and tips on posing throughout the entire day for not only ourselves but our families as well. He also was extremely efficient with his time, was an absolute pleasure to be around, and went above and beyond to capture our special moments. He brought the most positive energy and we were all laughing the entire day. It is clear the Brandon is an extremely skilled and dedicated professional. We will look at these photos for years to come and will have the most special memories to look back on all because of Brandon.

    I found Brandon through a simple search for a photographer in San Diego while planning a large corporate event, and I truly could not have made a better choice. We needed coverage for both our Welcome Event and our awards dinner the following evening, and from the very beginning Brandon was fantastic to work with -- we instantly clicked. His photos were absolutely amazing. He captured every moment perfectly, from the big highlights to the candid in-between shots that really tell the story of the event. On top of that, his turnaround time was incredible -- we received the full gallery within just one day. Hiring Brandon was an absolute home run. I would recommend him over and over again to anyone in the San Diego area looking for a talented, professional, and easy-to-work-with photographer. I only wish he were local to Michigan so I could book him for my son's upcoming wedding! Recommend x100.

    We had such a great experience with Brandon shooting our civil ceremony. We decided to have it on Christmas Eve and though it was pouring rain, we were able to grab some awesome photos during a small break in the rain. He has excellent communication skills and you can tell he truly loves what he does. We are so happy that we got to work with him and document a day that means so much!

    I'm going to just put the photo evidence right here and let it explain why I won't be using this person's services. A simple breakdown of what is included in a photo session and what that looks like was all I requested. His service is offered with such disdain that it undoes itself; for courtesy is the price of worth, and he has paid none. When service is clothed in arrogance, it ceases to be service at all.

    Brandon was an absolute dream of a wedding photographer. From our first call, his positive energy totally put us at ease--we knew we were in great hands. He did a venue walkthrough with us months before the wedding, came prepared with creative ideas, and followed up right before the big day to finalize everything and calm any nerves. Day-of, he was amazing. Somehow everywhere and nowhere at once--totally unobtrusive but still captured every moment beautifully. He made everyone feel comfortable, and the photos are stunning. Our guests adored him too--he brought so much good energy, even hit the dance floor with us.. It felt like he was part of the celebration. We honestly can't wait to work with him again for future milestones. Highly recommend!

    Thank you Brandon!

    Had the best experience. He knew exactly where to take pics and make me look flawless. So kind and coordinated our every move as we didn't know the venue. Thank you so much Brandon! Made me feel comfortable and he was like a friend directing us!

    Brandon was so great and helpful at giving my husband and I great tips for posing and even locations wise! We felt so comfortable around him and had so much fun at our maternity shoot. Our photos came out amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a photographer! Definitely will schedule another photoshoot for family photos with him once we have our baby! We are so grateful :)

    Brandon was amazing! We booked him for our newlywed photoshoot and wedding reception. He listened to what we wanted and made us feel very special. He was eager to capture what we had planned, but he also would suggest ideas to capture as he wanted to give us even more than we expected. Not only was he very friendly, but was also confident in his shooting style and helped direct us in terms of posing and positioning so we never felt awkward. He did a fantastic job of capturing our event and we highly recommend him!

Though her work online already speaks for how talented she and her team are, some of the most important things that really drew us in were how kind she was, how creative she was, and how she had an answer or idea for everything we wanted and envisioned. As we reflected on our wedding day, we found ourselves constantly talking about how impressed we were with how Brittney supported us through our day, and really paid attention to the vibe we described in our meetings leading up to the day. She provides great resources so that she can get to know you and your spouse, and it's so evident on the day of the event how deeply she takes those details into mind when being present for the day, and even after while curating the final photos! We really felt like she helped create an environment that helped us live in the moment, and it was so special to us. Another thing that really attracted us to her work is how you can feel the essence of each couple she photographs, simply through these images, and we felt that way tenfold when we saw our own photos! She truly was such a joy and so much fun to work with! We just felt like we could be ourselves, and she fed a lot of positive and calming energy into our already fun/chaotic group. She's a wonderful communicator and amazing artist, and you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you for being there for our special day and seriously 11/10 would recommend over and over again!

From our initial consultation calls to follow-up emails, timelines, and thoughtful attention to detail, she made us feel comfortable and special every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond by cheering us on, sending beautifully packaged welcome gifts, and later a lovely USB box with all of our wedding photos. My husband and I aren't natural "posers," and we really needed someone who could help us feel at ease while capturing beautiful moments. Brittany did exactly that. During every photo, she radiated excitement and positivity, making the experience feel effortless and fun. I honestly can't imagine having anyone else photograph such an important day. We're so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding.

Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

She stepped up and assisted with many additional tasks that she didn't have to, but she did it anyway to help us. I appreciated that so much! She was so concerned about making this day special for us. Instead of posing us awkwardly, she had us interact naturally and gave us some guidance. The result was amazing pictures that showed our love for each other. Also she was very quick in getting our pictures to us. We loved all the photos! We were so excited and had such a hard time narrowing down which ones to post on our social media. I have received so many compliments on the photos.

Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)
