Let's talk about getting you married.

"If I get married, I want to be very married."

- AUDREY HEPBURN -

Can I get something out of the way? Planning a wedding can be stressful. To be totally candid, the wedding industry is bonkers. Everyone, from your venue to your Aunt Kathi thinks they know what's best for you and how your day should go. But here's the thing... You're not wrong about what's important to you.

You're not wrong about what you like. Focus on your priorities and let the rest sort itself out. Your wedding might be the first big project you two get to do TOGETHER - it's your big debut as a couple. This means YOUR priorities. YOUR aesthetic. YOUR vibes. YOUR personalities. Maybe you're the disco ball or maybe you're the delicate flower. Either way, if big box weddings make you shutter the same way they do to me, step back, take a deep breath, and focus on what's important to you. Are you into architecture and florals? Get a bomb venue and a skilled florist who understands your vision. Big foodies? Find a caterer who knows about microfoam. And while you're considering your priorities, remember that the photos and video from your day will be the only tangible thing left after the food is gone and flowers are wilted.

But to have your day documented -- real, raw, heartfelt documentation... That's the stuff that stands the test of time. Your wedding can be your own personal cinematic masterpiece and tickle that part of your brain that lights up when you're watching your favorite movie or staring at a piece of artwork that speaks to your soul.

The big moments, and the small moments. The small hand grabs. The sneaked glances. The times your family and friends wrap you up in their arms with pride in their eyes. The carefully chosen details of your day captured with the same care as a Renaissance still-life. Let's make your wedding worthy of an art gallery. I want to capture you, your people, your moments, and your vibes in all their artistic glory.

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But, who wants easier?

- MARY OLIVER

I should tell you why I do this -- I'm no stranger to loss. Over the past few years, I've lost more people close to me than seems just. All I have left are memories, and a few scattered photos of times we shared. This is why I photograph with such deep passion -- I want you to have something to hold onto, something to remember the impact the people around you have had on your life. My deeper why for doing this work is that we only get this one wild and precious life -- I want you to be able to hold onto the people and moments you hold most dear because I know what it feels like when they're gone.

Working with Brandi completely changed the course of my wedding because she was with me for every step.

It wasn’t just about showing up to photograph the event. We aligned on my aesthetic goals early, and she was always there for me, no matter how inane the question. Whether we were mulling over florals or outfits or table setups, Brandi knew exactly what to do in order to achieve the vibe. I felt significantly more confident in my choices because of Brandi’s input.

Brandi was with us all weekend, and I was so glad to have her there. She made sure everything ran smoothly and that we got all of the shots that were important to us. She also did a great job of going with the flow and being opportunistic with our amazing portraits. She had us quickly take a few photos during golden hour immediately before our ceremony, and they ended up being some of the best shots of the weekend. Completely unplanned and took less than five minutes, but she knew exactly what to do. Having Brandi photograph our wedding was such a gift. Not only do we have an album of art gallery quality work, but we’re also lucky enough to call such a talented soul a friend. I cannot recommend working with Brandi enough. I would do it a million times over in a heartbeat because nobody can even touch her creative ability.

Brandi is professional and caring, and a true artist

As soon as we saw Brandi’s work, we knew she was the photographer for us.  Her style is spirited and beautiful - and appropriately feels like it captures the epic and intimate spark between two people.  Filmic and moody in the way we wanted our engagement and wedding photos to be.  Not staged or stilted, but raw and full of energy.

We had to reschedule our wedding 3 times (!) due to covid, and Brandi was our number one vendor that we had to be sure that she could do our new dates!  She was extremely understanding and worked with us on this - our the course of the two years our wedding was in flux, we really felt like she was loyal and respectful to our original contract when she didn’t have to be (which just speaks so highly to her character and professional nature)!  When our wedding did come around - Brandi was able to feel both present (again, her presence is so calming) but out of the way so the photography did not overpower the actual event.  Her photos captured every moment and detail.  We did not do a first look and Brandi managed to get a beautiful portrait session in, in the very brief amount of time we had between family photos and the reception.  We LOVE every shot!

You NEED Brandi Potter to be your wedding photographer.

Not only does her work speak for itself in terms of uniqueness but her work ethic as a master of her craft comes through seamlessly in her work. I have attached just some of our elopement photos to this review but again even with these few pictures you can see how stunning her work is. Google needs more than 5 stars cause that is what Brandi Potter because that's what her photography deserves.

More Goods to Tell Your Story

I love wedding photos. Not the lame ones that make weddings look like easter egg hunts, but the real, raw romance that you feel in your bones, I can't get enough. But often, the story of your wedding is more than just the day itself. It's all your people coming together from all over the world in one spot. Capture it on video in a way that makes the hair on your arm stick up. Get your friends the best pictures they've ever had taken in my Oscar-worthy Portrait Booth. Put on an absolutely impractical and killer dress and let's do a photo session the day after your wedding, maybe on a mountain top, maybe in an abandoned factory. Add on some vibey 90s nostalgia with timeless film photography. Tell your friends to put their dang phones away and be present by bringing on a Content Assistant to capture videos and photos throughout the day for social shares. Let's tell your story in all the ways it deserves.

VIDEO COVERAGE

Something about motion and music just hits different. Video packages come with a 3-5 minute video artistically set to music. Your video will match the style of your photos and be carefully edited frame by frame. You'll also get uncut raw footage of your ceremony, speeches, and first dances. I'll also send over 10 cinematic gifs to share on social and wow your people.

Want to bump up the nostalgia? Consider having your video filmed on Super-8, complete with cameras your grandpa would be proud of with footage that makes you feel a part of the vast unfolding of time.

PRE/POST WEDDING SHOOT

I love a long portrait session on the day of your wedding. But not matter how much time we've set aside, we all know that there might be 150 or so people waiting on us to get back to the party. Why not toss your dress back on the day after or day before, find a bomb location, and do an editorial shoot fit for a magazine cover? Better yet, put on that one thing in the back of your closet you've been saving and we'll turn you into the cover model you deserve to be. Maybe we're on a mountain top or maybe we're in an industrial loft, but let's dream big and make some magic.

PORTRAIT BOOTH

Inspired by a mix of Vanity Fair Oscar's after parties and renaissance portraits, your portrait booth is a photobooth gone high art. I'll bring in a profesh lighting setup, velvety backdrops, and make you and your friends into epic paintings. Dark, moody, romantic, and sexy as hell. The Portrait Booth works best at either your rehearsal dinner or once the dance floor gets started (ie -- maybe a drink or two in). You don't need another photo booth picture with you holding a ridiculous mustache prop in front of your face. Level up and get yourself a Portrait Booth.

FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

Digital photograph has tried since its inception to capture the essence of what film offered for 150 years before a digital camera ever snapped its first photo. But it just isn't the same. Digital photography is incredible for countless reasons, but film, FILM -- you can't reproduce the feeling of the real deal. My film packages come with at least 5 rolls of 35mm film, developing, scanning, and delivered with love.

CONTENT ASSISTANT

One of the most tragic things I see ALL THE TIME as a wedding photog is a beautiful bride walking down the aisle in front of all of her friends and family, but all she sees, instead of their smiling faces, is a sea of phone cameras pointed at her. It's YOUR dang wedding day... Have your people put their phones down, be present, and look you in the eyes instead of experiencing your wedding through the filter of a phone. Bring on a content assistant to take low-stakes photos of everyone, capture a bunch of behind-the-scenes video, and get all those moments ready to be shared right away on social so your people can put their phones down and get swept away.

YOUR WEDDING WON'T BE LAME. THE VIDEO SHOULDN'T BE EITHER.

Let's get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we?
