WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY INSPIRED BY 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.
Inspired By The Old Masters – Balancing Baroque Drama with Renaissance Grace
Hi, I’m Brandi Potter—a photographer driven by emotion, connection, and storytelling. My work lives in the space between modern authenticity and classical beauty. Inspired by the timeless balance of Renaissance art and the dramatic emotion of the Baroque era, I aim to create images that feel both grounded and poetic. Whether I’m shooting on digital or film, I’m drawn to honest moments, natural light, and the subtle details that make your story uniquely yours.
Photography, for me, isn’t just about capturing how something looked—it’s about how it felt. I approach each session with an eye for composition, light, and intimacy, striving to create photographs that feel cinematic yet personal. If my work speaks to you in some quiet way, I’d love to connect and see what we can create together.
“She has a fantastic talent for capturing candid documentary-style moments.”
Some of our older relatives were not able to make the long trip over to Portugal, but they absolutely loved seeing our photos. They told me that looking through the photos made them feel like they were there, listening to every bit of laughter and joy.
Getting the photos back, I loved seeing all the little intimate moments between all the guests; my mom speaking to my husband’s aunts or my friends. I got to see the day from so many different points of view. If her unmatched photography skills weren’t enough, she also made us feel comfortable when we did have more posed photos. Additionally, her knowledge of little tips and tricks on the day helped keep everything smooth.

“She has a sense of artistry that is on another level.”
KARLEE AND MICHAEL, CHICAGO
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+++++++++
