We worked with Brandi and completed an engagement photo shoot in Tahoe City. She is so professional and kind and thoughtful. The planning phase and communication was smooth. She was ready to hold the shoot wherever we wanted and also had wonderful ideas in choosing a location that suited our goals. The photography experience was so comfortable and easy because of her personality, communication and expertise. The final product was icing on the cake. read more

We just recently used Brandi for our family photos when in Tahoe last month! We've been fortunate to have her captured some very important times in our lives (engagement, wedding, maternity, and now family of 4) all in that order! Each photos shoot we have felt comfortable and she is very professional. And I have always been happy with the final product with our photos. She gets them back pretty quickly as well! I will definitely being using her again. She even gives amazing tips for our visits to Tahoe and alway makes us feel right at home. read more

Indigo Photography - One of my faves. - Event Photography Near Me

I found Brandi online last year when I was looking for a photographer for some family photos (just myself, my husband, and our then two year old) in the Tahoe area. She was really easy to communicate with and schedule. We talked a bit about location and what type of photos we were looking for and she encouraged me to bring some examples. Long story short, we LOVED our pictures so much. They are the best pictures of our small family we have ever had and the location Brandi picked turned out to be absolutely amazing!! Fast forward to Christmas 2019, we reached out to Brandi again to see if she could work with our extended family of 17 adults and two kids under three. Again she picked a fantastic location (and drove to a location closer to us rather than her so we didn't have to travel in the snow) and the pictures and the experience were amazing. We will cherish the photos forever. We plan to travel to Tahoe from the Bay Area every year for photos with Brandi. THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

Brandi did a FANTASTIC job capturing our elopement. We absolutely love the pictures and would hire Brandi again in a heartbeat! She knew exactly where to snap the most beautiful pictures around Lake Tahoe and knew the area quite well. She was warm, inviting, and a pleasure to work with. Bonus: her processing time was quicker than expected! Early, on time (or even late!), Brandi's photos are totally worth the wait! Brandi caught a variety of pictures that all turned out great. Picking which photos to print and frame is going to best kind of challenge. We cannot thank her enough for doing such a great job. read more

Indigo Photography - A candid - Event Photography Near Me

Brandi and her partner were terrific to work with. Professional relationship aside, she's just the kind of person I'd like to hang out and have a beer with; really easy to get along with. The wedding day-of photography went phenomenally smooth, very efficient at getting all the group shots together; we finished all shots before expected so we could go hang out with people on our big day! But most importantly were how the pictures turned out: splendidly. Truly beautiful shots, we were both just floored at how gorgeous everything turned out. Definitely not your typical "cupcake" wedding photographer; Brandi's shots are very inspired and she had the full set back to us in only a few weeks. I am very happy how everything turned out. Worth every penny paying for such a professional. read more

Indigo Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Brandi really knows her way around Lake Tahoe and has a feel for great locations to have pictures taken. We had Brandi help out with our wedding photos and they turned out amazing! We would highly recommend this photography company to anyone who needs professional photos taken! read more

Indigo Photography went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. Brandi took the time to think through the type of photo's that would capture who we are as a couple. That meant going out in the mountains hiking around and getting dirty to get the perfect shot. Brandi is so fun to be around its like she was part of our family that day. We highly recommend Indigo Photography for any special occasion! read more

Brandi was amazing. She made my partner and I so comfortable during the entire shoot and captured some truly timeless moments of our special day. She's down to earth and casual and clearly loves her work. We were inexperienced with photoshoots and had anticipated a day full of forced awkward smiles, however Brandi literally made it feel like we catching up with an old friend. All the smiles in our pictures are real. :-) It was lovely. We've already discussed coming back in a year and would love for her to capture similar pictures with our new addition. read more

I highly recommend Brandi & Laura with Indigo as a vendor & client! I have worked with them at Heavenly Ski Resort on numerous weddings. They are always friendly, professional, and customize each experience individually for the shoot. Some of our best venue pictures come from Indigo photography. Brandi is incredibly detailed and never fails to send us an itinerary of the wedding shoot prior to arriving at our site. In this high paced industry, this is very helpful for communication of the client's needs for photos and so the venue is prepared. Brandi takes amazing and creative photos that capture everyone in their best light. Recently, I also had Brandi take professional portraits for me. They looked great and I will be using them for years to come. Indigo photography will exceed your expectations! You will cherish your photos taken by Indigo for a lifetime! read more

Brandi had taken photos of me for a cast photo in the past, and they came out really nice. I don't feel like a very photogenic person, but she seems to catch you at the right moment. So, when I needed a wedding photographer she was my first choice. I couldn't be happier with the photos! She had some great ideas on the backdrop and we got some incredibly creative pictures. i also wanted to get one sitting on the ski lift with my wedding dress and she got an awesome photo of us. My fiance is pretty shy about taking pictures and she was so great to work with that I think he actually enjoyed the photo shoot. She really got him to come out of his shell and I have some really sweet photos of him. She also was great at directing family after the ceremony, and we had about 50 people at the wedding so she got a really great shot of the entire group of attendees. I can't stop starring at the pictures, she got some really cool action shots of the ceremony. read more

I am thoroughly impressed by Brandi and Indigo Photography. First, let me say, I'm a tough person to really WOW. And she completely has. Also, my husband and I are not the most photogenic. We have an iphone roll of us looking in weird directions or strange smirks. I was convinced that our wedding photos were going to be the same. NO, They aren't. We look like the super-model versions of ourselves in the photos. I have NO idea how she did it. I was so worried about seeing the photos, and somehow she managed to get us to look good in almost every single one. And she was super efficient. I had no idea that she was circling us during the ceremony to get pictures from every angle. Looking at the photos you would swear that there was 3 photographers. So, in summary: She made us look good. She is quick with getting us the photos She is responsive to emails and phone calls She is super-woman with a camera She made us look good She is creative with her shots, She is efficient, She is NICE and POSITIVE and wonderful to work with AND I REITERATE SHE MADE US LOOK AMAZING. I'm beyond happy that she was there with us on our Wedding. read more

We hired Brandi as our photographer for both our engagement photos and wedding day. Her work is simply amazing and I would recommend her to anyone for any photography needs. Our engagement photos were unique and fun and we loved how they captured the essence of us. If you are up for it like we were, she will take you hiking to hidden spots to get the best shots! Our wedding photos were all that we could have hoped for and more. She captured our day perfectly! Brandi is really fun and easy to work with. She listens to your needs and gives you exactly what you are looking for. Having never been professionally photographed before, my husband and I were a little nervous before our engagement photos but she made the experience really relaxed and we didn't feel awkward at all! She has a great eye for photography and she catches shots in between the moments. She doesn't spend time freezing you and tilting your heads etc to get the best shot. Rather, she tells you to do something sweet and simple and magically gets candid and real shots that are exactly what you are looking for. For the wedding, she worked very quickly during our bride and groom, wedding party and family photos so she didn't keep us from our guests and the party long. During the ceremony and reception, I barely remember seeing her which is a good thing in my opinion because some photographers can be in your face and distracting. She was professional and always available to answer questions. Once she is done editing photos, she sends you a link to them online and then mails a cd or thumb drive of all the files in both high res and low res for uploading online. One of the best parts was for the wedding photos, she sent us a wonderful slideshow playing to our first dance song. A lot of photographers make you purchase each photo from them but she doesn't require you to purchase anything additional from her which is wonderful because you own all of your photos and can print them however you want and wherever you want. I highly recommend Indigo Photography to anyone looking for a photographer in the Tahoe area. We are so happy we hired Brandi and will cherish the photos she gave us for the rest of our lives. We hope to use her again in the future for our photography needs! read more

Brandi and her team were an absolute joy to work with. They captured the moments that were important to us without being invasive at all. We both have big families and wedding parties so their ability to stick to the timeline but still allow us to have our moments was very important. They made us all feel comfortable while being present during the most intimate moments of our wedding. They were willing to accommodate our priorities but also had ideas of their own that we hadn't even thought of. We were so grateful to have them as part of our experience and highly recommend this exceptional team! read more

I just read all of the reviews on this site and I have to say that I agree with all of them. Brandi did a family shoot for our family of 5 and she instantly made the kids very comfortable, has amazing knowledge of the local area and we could not be happier with how our pictures turned out. She is really talented at what she does, I would definitely recommend her for anything! read more

I highly recommend Indigo Photography. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and chose Brandi to take our family photos. We're so glad that we did. She replied promptly to our initial contact. She chose an excellent location for our photos keeping in mind lighting. We had our edited photos within a week. Each and every photo was awesome. We also had a two year old with us. As you may know, two year olds can be unpredictable. Brandi captured the essence his personality in each photo. She's amazing. read more

Brandi deserves more than just five stars! She was our photographer for our wedding at Heavenly and did a wonderful job. She was on time, professional, kind and very patient. I didn't feel like she was our photographer, she felt like a friend or sister that was truly happy for you and wanted to be help in any way she can. Our family was actually amazed at how she was able to direct them all without being pushy or aggressive. She has that aura about her that is very zen and easy going. Her rates are very reasonable considering what the other photographers at her skill level are charging. She is truly amazing and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! read more

Brandi is the most amazing photographer I have ever worked with! She photographed our wedding in Lake Tahoe in a snow storm and made it look like a magical winter wonderland! She has an eye for photos that I would never have seen and they turn out to be amazing! She weathered the cold with us with a smile for hours and was genuinely excited about our pictures as well as our wedding. Brandi has a way of capturing your emotions and the moments and is just fun to work with. Best decision of what turned out to be our dream wedding was having Brandi as our photographer! Our pictures look like scenes from a postcard or wedding magazine...we are honored that she was with us on the most important day of our lives and thrilled with her work, her responsiveness, attention to detail, and creativity. read more

I was so impressed with Brandi's work for my mom's 70th birthday celebration. I hired her to do a photo shoot with my entire family in Tahoe and she captured the most amazing shots. I really could not have hoped for anything better. We had lots of young kids and "interesting" family dynamics to deal with and Brandi managed to get the best out of everyone. She is so pleasant to deal with and a great communicator, but most of all, she is very talented behind the lens. She scouted out the site early and the backdrops she selected were just perfect. My entire family was so happy with the way the photos turned out and commended me on finding such a fantastic photographer to commemorate our special day together. To this, I say, "THANK YOU, BRANDI!!!". read more

We loved working with Brandi! We booked Brandi for our engagement photos via a referral from a friend. Since we live in Chicago and never having been to Lake Tahoe before, we came into our photo shoot relatively blindly. And we couldn't have been happier with the results. Brandi took us to a great park area that had multiple different scenery within a short walk from one another. She was so easy to work with, and didn't mind that we brought a whole bag of different outfits and props to use. We received our website of photos after just a few days, and they're stunning! We had such a great experience -- thank you!! read more

What can I say about Brandi and Indigo Photography....she is amazing! We booked her services for out family pictures and they turned out wonderful! I have very squirmy 2 & 4 year old boys and she managed to get the cutest pictures of them. We rarely get pictures with all four of us (note squirmy 2 & 4 year olds) so we treasure the pictures she took. I would highly recommend her! read more

Brandi was the answer to our photography prayers! The photos were the one thing I wanted to be absolutely perfect... and they REALLY were! We didn't get a videographer (which so many people do) so I wanted to make sure the pictures captured the day. I was completely floored with how beautiful all of the pictures turned out! Our friends and family have done nothing but RAVE about how fantastic our pictures are!!! I would recommend Indigo Photography any day of the week :) read more

My entire family is so pleased with all the photographs that Brandi took. We are so happy we chose to go with Indigo. Brandi was able to capture so much during our 1 hour session. We took pictures of the entire family of 11, the kids, adults, solos and individual families. The pictures were simply amazing. Brandi picked the best places to take photos at as well. Highly recommend. read more

There are not enough stars to rate the quality of Brandi's work. Brandi gave my husband and I the most wonderful memories of our wedding day. She is a true artist and professional with a beautiful eye for detail...and an all-around great woman. I live in FL and booked her for our destination wedding in South Lake Tahoe, CA. She was in constant communication with my husband and I, despite the time change. Another plus was her turnaround time with producing our pictures. She was very efficient and spared no detail. Highly recommended is an understatement! read more

Brandi did an AWESOME job on our wedding photos! To begin with, she was very responsive via email and phone, flexible, patient, and just easy to get along with. She drove all the way out to our site a few days before the wedding to scope it out and answer any last questions we had. She arrived early on the wedding day, was calm and composed throughout the entire day, was extremely patient, and had some really great ideas. Her prices were reasonable and she was incredibly professional. We received our photos in a timely manner, and we got some amazing shots. She also made a really cool slideshow for us, which we shared with friends & family and got a ton of compliments on. Overall, we absolutely love her style - we couldn't be happier with our photos. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the Tahoe area. Thanks again Brandi!!! read more

Brandi is amazing!! She just took our Spring Family Photo's and they turned out beautiful! We have two little boys that move, climb and jump at the speed of lightning. Brandi decided it would be best to take the photo's in a park setting where they would feel at home, running around, climbing trees and playing on the jungle gym. She was able to capture formal photo's of our entire family and candid shots. I can't decided which ones I like best. When my husband and I were looking at the photo's together, he said "that's our life"! Brandi capture our life with our boys in a beautiful way. We could never have done this on our our own. Brandi is a true professional with an eye for a great shot. She is great with our boys and made us all feel so comfortable getting our pictures taken. Thank you so much!!! read more

I highly recommend this photographer! Great photos, very timely, fair pricing, easy to work with, very calm and professional. A++++!

We are just thrilled with the photos Brandi took of our family of 12 when we were in South Tahoe celebrating my 70th birthday. She was professional and easy to work with. She quickly located the perfect setting and light, varied the combinations and the poses, and finished in record time. Our five grandchildren range in age from 2 1/2 to 10 1/2 , and Brandi was particularly great with them. No fussing; no tears or temper tantrums; no complaints from anyone. Really pretty incredible! In addition, when our daughter's family wanted to take a picture on the roof (not the deck -- the ROOF) of our rental house, Brandi didn't blink. She took off her shoes and scrambled up after the four fleet-footed ones and gave them the shot that they wanted with Lake Tahoe in the background. I highly recommend Indigo Photography. read more

Brandi and Laura were awesome! We just got our photos back today from our 2-6-2016 wedding at Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel. Love them! We had a destination wedding so everything was done via internet. From day one Brandi has been awesome to work with. Loved our first look photos by the lake and all the others. Could not ask for anything better. Thanks for such beautiful work! read more

We had a family reunion in north Lake Tahoe and had Brandi shoot the family photos. Brandi was amazing despite the chaos that large family events can entail. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Brandi is the best! I'm so thrilled with our wedding photos. She captured so many beautiful moments, and also got great photos of all the details with such artistic beauty. Thank you, Brandi!! I feel so lucky to have such amazing photos of our wedding! read more

We hired Brandi for our wedding this summer after she was highly recommended by our reception venue. We could not have been more pleased. She is super sweet, responsive, creative, and attentive. She definitely went the extra mile for us when the reception activities went long. We have beautiful pictures (posed and spontaneous) of our beautiful day :). If I have anything to do with it, she'll be photographing our family as it begins and grows. read more

Brandi shot both our engagement and wedding photos in South Lake Tahoe and did an absolutely amazing job with both. We we really couldn't have been happier with how they turned out. She was able to capture so many wonderful moments that we will be able to cherish forever thanks to her. She was so easy to work with and flexible, even when we wanted to go to multiple locations for the engagement shoot. She truly has a calming sense about her so even on a hectic wedding day she made us feel comfortable. She knew all the best places to photograph the wedding from and gave us great direction for the bridal party and group photos. She also was able to somehow get great shots of almost all the wedding guests, which from experience with previous family weddings, is not something that all photographers do. Brandi and her team were able to capture so many wonderful moments, we can't thank them enough and if you are looking for a great wedding photographer in South Lake Tahoe look no further! Check out her blog for truly amazing photos: http://indigophotography.net/blog/?cat=1 read more

Brandi was wonderful to work with. I contacted her with short notice and my fiancé and I were only going to be in the area for a few days. She worked with me not only to discuss what I was looking for in the photos, but also to share her knowledge of the area and help us be able to take pictures in a dream location at a time of day when lighting was the best. She also suggested another location I hadn't considered, and it ended up being where we got some of my favorite shots. She was great at posing us so that lighting and scenery had maximum impact, and also at capturing some wonderful authentic moments where my fiancé and I were just interacting with each other. I highly recommend her! read more

My daughter and her fiancé hired Indigo Photography for their recent wedding at Camp Richardson Resort. Brandi and Laura were delightful, helped us ease our pre-wedding nerves, and guided us through the requisite photos with originality, humor, warmth, and professionalism. They worked tirelessly and displayed the passion they have for the work they do. They seemed to be everywhere throughout the ceremony and reception but were never intrusive and actually seemed to be enjoying the event despite the hard work! The bride & groom had a couple of bears visit their "first look" series and they took it in stride. I'm hoping they were able to capture this but I haven't even seen the final photographs yet. I can't wait!!! So even without seeing the actual results I recommend Brandi Schlagel's Indigo Photography to photograph your special event without reservation! read more
