Bryan was our wedding photographer for our engagement shoot and 6/8/24 wedding. He was referred to us by a friend, so we knew from seeing their photos that he would not disappoint. He has a wonderful eye for capturing unique shots and was the perfect vendor for the job. We had a ton of fun running around Downtown Los Angeles with him for our engagement shoot and ended up with more beautiful shots than we know what to do with. Then, on our wedding day, he arrived early and set a great tone for the day photographing me and my bridesmaids. He brought along a second photographer who was as easygoing and great to work with. Both times, we received a sneak peak about 4 days later. Our initial wedding photos are absolutely stunning to say the least. We had a very colorful wedding in a botanical garden, and he captured the vibrancy of those colors along with our bright florals in the most perfect way. Bryan also does not inflate his prices by including photo albums - he provides access to a site where you can print albums, etc., but also recognizes that it's often much most cost effective to design albums using other vendors (Shutterfly in our case). His prices are fair and you can count on him to deliver time and time again. And above all, he's just a fun guy to be around! read more

You know when a photographer did such an amazing job that you can't stop raving about them and showing everyone you meet your wedding photos? That's Bryan!! My wedding was Sunday 10/30/22, and we were so lucky that Bryan (plus his excellent associate, Gustavo), were available on a short month's notice. Even before our first meeting, I admired how his portfolio was chock full of beautiful artsy fartsy (not the technical term, lol) photos with creative angles, poses, and lighting that were actually different from all the typical wedding photos, though those standard pictures were there as well. Bryan's passion for photography, dedication to details, and technical expertise was all immediately evident to me within the first few minutes of our video consult. He was understanding and engaging, actively listened to our numerous requests, and confidently provided keen suggestions based on his past experience. For example, I told Bryan that although my venue was a ballroom, I wanted my wedding party photos to be in an outdoor garden setting. Right then and there, Bryan suggested a park a few minutes from our venue, which ended up being absolutely perfect. Later on, when I mentioned that we needed to do table visits and a tea ceremony for our Westernized Chinese wedding/reception, Bryan once again provided insightful tips that when incorporated into our timeline, became integral in ensuring that each event ran smoothly. That was the theme of working with Bryan - his guidance and presence elevated our wedding day experience to everything that we hoped for and more. From the moment he arrived at our hotel (30 minutes early in fact!) to the end of a super long day, Bryan made our wedding day just so much better. His positive energy, encouraging words, and fun personality set the tone for everyone in our large 12 person wedding party - conscious of the time constraints but still focused on having a great time. Like another reviewer mentioned, working with Bryan was like reconnecting and hanging out with a long-lost best friend who happens to be a pro - he is just that great at keeping everyone at ease, especially during stressful moments. He and Gustavo were so patient with the endless photo requests from our wedding guests and managing the indoor lighting situation at the venue, all the while still managing to be at the right spots at the right times to catch amusing candids. I swear they were magicians or genies or something! A mere four days after the wedding, Bryan provided us with our sneak preview album. Holy smokes, these photos are gorgeous!! When we shared the pics with friends and family, some of whom are professional photographers themselves, all were blown away and impressed with how he captured our emotions on camera. Just see for yourself!! TL;DR: Not only is Bryan incredibly talented as a photographer, he is extremely helpful in all aspects of the wedding and so much fun as a person. His associate Gustavo was awesome as well, and I highly recommend them both. Choosing Bryan Hudson Photography was one of the best wedding decisions that we made; if you book with Bryan, I guarantee that you'd say the same! read more

We were lucky enough to work with Bryan twice as he shot both our engagement session (2021) and wedding (2022). His work is absolutely stunning and he knows just how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement shoot was at the Pasadena City Hall building, but didn't look like every other set of photos that are taken there. He has such an eye for detail and delivered some of our favorite photos together. He made both my husband and I feel so comfortable throughout and gave the perfect combination of prompting us for specific poses/etc. but allowing us to be natural and catching true moments of our relationship. His relaxed nature was EXACTLY what we were looking for the day of our wedding - after all, you are paying this person to follow you around for 8-10 hours. Bryan's calming energy helped keep us on track every step of the wedding - even when I completely failed him by not bringing a family shot list. He went above and beyond at every turn and delivered another STUNNING gallery of photos. On top of all this, his turn around time is extremely quick (sneak peeks almost immediately and full galleries well before a month after the event). He listens to what you are looking for and can deliver anything from the standard posed shot to the craziest use of lighting to get that unique, edgy feel. If you are looking for someone to give you some really rad photos he's your guy. Can't wait to keep using him in the future for family shoots, etc. to keep getting amazing photos of our lives. Thank you, Bryan!! read more

How do I begin to review one of the most kick ass photographers that there ever was? When we first met Bryan, it was as if we were talking to a long-lost friend. He was friendly, engaging & most of all extremely knowledgeable in his field. We took our engagement photos in Sep 2021, and they came out amazing. Bryan knew the area so well that he had an awesome hidden spot where we took the most amazing sunset photos we've ever had taken with our pup. When the wedding day rolled around, we had a blast shooting all our photos. There was a great number of Jokes told, lots of laughter and Bryan captured every moment. I swear he was a ninja with his camera! Everything ran smoothly even when the family threw a few curb balls his way. I would hire Bryan to do any other photos we ever take! He was able to capture the feelings I felt for our wedding. The love we felt in person can be felt in each photo and to capture that, it takes someone special... If you're looking for a photographer look no further, Bryan is your man! read more

Bryan is artistic and wonderful to work with. Just go with the flow and you will end up with memorable, beautiful photos that are completely unique. Thank you for making our wedding so special! read more

Bryan is the photographer you are looking for! We had such a blast working with him on our wedding day and could not be more happier. From the beginning, Bryan was prompt with all of his responses. He was very flexible with our schedule and even gave us a great deal! Bryan also took time to go over the schedule with us and answered all of the questions we had. He really showed that he cared. He also has a great sense of humor, which is a total plus for us. Most importantly, his work is awesome! He sent us a sneak peek of some of the pictures after the wedding and we just absolutely LOVE each and every picture. Bryan is an easy going, professional, cool, funny guy who we would definitely hire again for other events!!! My matron of honor stated, "I thought Bryan did a great job capturing moments that we don't think about or have time to capture ourselves." My maid of honor stated, "I really liked him! I thought that he was personable and very easy to work with. I think that he was really creative in finding the best lighting and angles that made everyone look great. He was really flexible with timing during the ceremony and reception. He was great at communicating with the wedding party and was polite with people who were taking pictures/in his way. He was polite and respectful while being immersed in the activities to capture everything." read more

Beyond happy with his work. Thank you for being so amazing Bryan ! ... the hogans read more

Bryan is truly talented and an artist. The quality and time he puts into his work is truly one of a kind. He treats you like family and knows what you are looking for without telling him what you are looking for. As a first time grand-mother I wanted the best photos of my grandsons first birthday, specifically since his birthday lands so close to Easter, and boy did Bryan deliver!!! They say photos don't do a justice, well, not according to Bryan! Bryan is your go to person when it comes to any photography needs, period!!! I will share with you some of Bryan's' work. read more

Bryan was amazing!! From our initial meeting, I could see how sincere, passionate, creative, and fun he would be as our photographer. From that day on, Bryan was great about getting back to us about any advice we needed or questions/concerns we had. During our engagement session and wedding day, he tried to make the process as fun and relaxed as possible in order to get beautiful shots. (CJ, who was his second photographer for our wedding day, was also great!). My bridal party was even telling me how awesome they were to work with that day. I LOVED how all of our photos turned out. It was a great mix of details, portraits, candids, and creative shots...We're settling into our home now and I'm having a hard time narrowing down which photos I want to display! read more

SO THIS GUY IS PRETTY AWESOME! I have worked with him since I was about 18. He shot my headshots multiple times and also recently shot my class photo for UCSD MFA Acting Class of 2017! ---which turned out AMAZING! (as did all of my headshots). He also took headshots for most of my classmates which they ended up using as their main photo and all of use his photos for our websites! Bryan is so fun and knows how to help people to relax in photos. He will do whatever he can to get great shots and is SOOOO accommodating! He does his best to make sure YOU are happy and comfortable and I think that is so important in a photographer. He also just took my engagement photos (some adjectives to describe the shoot: beautiful, fun, exciting, hip, cool, adventurous, romantic, AWESOME) and in less than two months, will be taking my wedding photos! I would recommend Bryan to everyone I know and to everyone I do not know! My yelp profile picture was taken by him as well!! :) read more

My wife is very particular when it comes to our family's photography and when I showed her Bryan's work she jumped on board immediately. Bryan is a great guy and a professional photographer that will capture those unique and special moments forever. Sit down with Bryan Hudson and you will see that he will definetly take care of you! read more

I got to say I was very fortunate to find Bryan Hudson through "thumbtack". I could have gone with some of my friend's recommendations, but I was looking for someone that has an artistic and not too cliche portfolio, but not too overpriced either. It was something I thought be harder to find, since I'm a graphic artist and I can be very picky, but after looking at Bryan's portfolio and getting to know him over a cup of coffee at starbucks one afternoon, my husband and I fell in love with Bryan. Yes Bryan, we love you!!! He is just such a great guy + great photographer. We found out that he was the perfect choice for us, because through out the process of taking our engagement photos and our wedding photos, we were very comfortable to be around Bryan. He made it into a fun and relaxing experience for us. He is very prompt with his photo previews. I think we received ours like 2 days after the event, and soon after we had all our photos. I loved all my vendors, but Bryan still by far one of my favorites! Totally recommend him :) read more

If you're looking for a professional and an artist, then you want Bryan Hudson. His work is artistic, and the quality of his work is world-class. After interviewing and reviewing dozens of photographers, Bryan was hands down the best all-around photographer. On the day of our event, he took care of everything and things we didn't even consider- it was truly a blessing that he went above and beyond what we wanted. read more

Since we had quite a few friends get married before us, we had quite a lot of suggestions about photographers. We ended up taking some (after a lot of research), and met with Bryan. Ended up feeling like a part of the wedding more than just someone we hired. Super passionate, talented, and easy to work with. We were thrilled with the photos, and highly recommend. read more

Update: Bryan is still as awesome as ever! It's been 5 years since we first worked with him for our engagement and wedding photos and true to my original review, he's been our go-to photog. We've done our family photos with him every year and he never disappoints. He's truly an artist who has been refining his craft over the years. And he's still the same easygoing, cool dude! read more

My husband is an amateur photographer and I'm a perfectionist, so when it came down to picking our wedding photographer we literally had a list and held interviews to make sure we selected someone we could trust to capture the big day. I am so happy we found Bryan! He did his homework and on the day-of had a list of places that were walking distance from our venue where we captured the most beautiful images. He is an artist and a consummate professional. I recommend him to everyone I can. read more

My (now) husband and I were searching for a photographer and Bryan's pictures really stood out to us - his work is unique, fun and different from other photographers we looked at. We set up a meeting with him and immediately liked him; he is very approachable/easy to talk to and is very passionate about his job (this was very important to us). We booked him early (I recommend you do this) and we are thrilled with his work. Bryan is organized and takes his work very seriously; he communicated quickly throughout the process and makes sure everyone is on the same page with everything. There were several things that did not go as planned (that's life) but Bryan was there through it all and even stayed later to get a few more pictures. He was patient and easy to work with. We just received our pictures (it didn't take long, only a couple of weeks) and we are in love with every single picture! He is very detail oriented and took so many cool shots. We are so happy we were able to work with Bryan and we recommend him to anyone searching for a photographer, we promise you will not regret it! Thanks Bryan! :) read more
