I don't even know where to begin with talking about how wonderful Brandon is!
My husband and I got married in Vegas in May of 2011 on our ten year anniversary (we've been dating since high school ^^).
We threw together a wedding for just two of us within two weeks, and started researching photographers in Vegas area. I stumbled upon Brandon's website, and immediately fell in love with how his pictures captured so much life. I contacted him, and soon we made a schedule to meet up at Bellagio, where we were staying at and getting married at.
We flew in from Seattle to Vegas on Sunday and planned on getting married that day at 6pm in front of the Bellagio fountains with the waterworks and the music. It was a crazy day, getting our marriage certificate, getting to the hotel, hair appointment, getting dressed, wedding at 6pm, dinner reservation at Picasso at 8pm... then flying out the next evening. On top of that, I was sick as a dog. I was carrying around a tissue and wiping my nose in between each takes.
Out of all the chaos, Brandon actually helped us to relax and enjoy the moment. He spent so much time with us, from getting ready to well after the wedding, making sure that we get all the important pictures to remember the day by. Because we were not inviting anyone else to the wedding, it was important that we get every details snapped for the family to see when we returned. Brandon captured everything from our excitement, anxiety, and pure bliss. All the pictures came out crisp and perfect. Every time I look at them, I just tear up a little remembering how fun and happy the day way. Brandon made it so easy for us on that very rushed day. I think many people woud agree that with a wrong photographer, this day could have turned 180. Even though I was really sick, and the day was incredibly rushed, Brandon made it so easy for us to enjoy our wedding day. He probably has the best personality of any photographers that I've ever worked with (I used to model for a few years, so I know how some can be ... so... not fun.)
When we got home, we had our pictures very quickly. As Brandon explained, he wasn't much of a procrastinator, and he was to leave for some other project soon, and wanted to make sure that we get our important pictures as soon as possible. We had our reception back home in three weeks, and we were able to have pictures well before that (all edited and everything!) to display around our reception dinner.
I would recommend Brandon to anyone over and over. We plan on having our 5 year anniversary in Vegas, we'll definitely be calling Brandon to help us capture our moments again.
Thank you Brandon, I'm so sad that you don't live in Seattle, I'd have much more people to share you with! I wish you all the best! -- Lynn and Brad from Seattle -- read more
