WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AS ART

From utilizing soft, diffused light, that echos the gentle illumination seen in works by artists like Leonardo da Vinci to employing strong contrasts between light and dark, creating a dramatic effect similar to that used by Caravaggio.

"Brandi is incredible! Her distinctive style, creative vision, and unique posing direction make shooting with her effortless and fun. She truly thinks outside the box, turning every idea into a masterpiece. The photos are stunning, personal, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!"

"Brandi is truly everything and more, an incredible photographer, an outstanding professional, and now, a dear friend. In 2022, I came across her work and instantly knew there was no one else I could trust to preserve my wedding day in such a magical, meaningful way. Her artistry, creativity, and romantic eye exceeded anything I could have ever imagined.

I had actually committed to working with Brandi before I even chose my venue. Her photography was that inspiring. In many ways, her style helped guide the vision for my entire wedding and played a part in creating the dream day I shared with my partner.

She offered us an engagement shoot in the summer of 2022, and I’ll admit, I was hesitant about the beach setting since I tend to gravitate more toward wooded landscapes or historic, Victorian style spaces. But I could not have been more wrong! Brandi transformed that shoot into something truly whimsical. The photos were beyond anything I had envisioned.

Everything Brandi brings her talent, her vision, her presence makes working with her an absolute gift. I’m endlessly grateful not only for the way she captured our love, but also for the genuine friendship that has grown over the years."

"50000/5 stars

Brandi Potter is the literal GOAT of wedding photography and you will not convince me otherwise. She is a wizard for whom magic comes out of her fingertips. As an amateur photographer myself, I am in awe of the work she produces: its moody, dark, artistic, and full of emotion. During our wedding day, she was personable, organized, friendly, and professional. Most of all, she captured some AMAZING shots. There are some things, after your wedding, where you go "eh, I probably didn't need to spend money on that." Brandi Potter is not one of those things."

"I wish I could give Brandi one million stars instead of just five! She is the best wedding photographer anyone could ask for. We had an incredibly eccentric ceremony that took place in the water, and Brandi saw our vision right away and captured all of the magic in our lovely photos. She has a sense of artistry that is on another level. Also, we are by no means professional models and we were a little nervous being in front of the camera, but Brandi is so good at making it all feel normal, warm, and approachable. A+++++++++"

FEATURED WORK

I'm Brandi Potter and I am obsessed with my job. Photography has given me so much in my life. I grew up in small town Appalachia and never thought I'd be able to travel or see the places I've been to. It always felt out of reach (people back home don't tend to leave). Photography gave me a reason and a stepping stone to expand my world view and to make art for a living. Every day I'm grateful for where photography has taken me and I want to put that gratitude back into my work and give it to you.
