craft the perfect wedding day timeline
As a wedding photographer, my mission is to create portraits that encapsulate the love, joy, and unique connection between the bride and groom.
Here are a few insights and tips for both couples and fellow photographers to ensure that every shot of the bride and groom becomes a masterpiece worthy of the pages of their love story.

YES! I travel often from California to New Jersey. Coast to coast! And don’t forget I have a current passport (International weddings... yes please!).
do you travel?
To reserve your date, I would love to hop on a phone call and make sure we are a great fit. Then, once you decide to move forward, I will send over a contract + invoice and once those are completed you are OFFICIAL!!
how do we reserve our date?
I don’t put a limit on how many images I deliver. I strive to give you 50-75 images per hour that I am with you. I will do my initial cull to get rid of photos where people may not be looking or making a funny face. Everything else I give you. I do try to give a good mix of portrait and landscape orientations as well.
how many photos do we get?
Yes I absolutely do. I have 3 camera bodies, multiple cards and batteries and 5 lenses so if anything happened I can keep shooting. In addition, both of my cameras shoot on dual cards (This means my cameras have two sd card slots and photos are saved to both cards while shooting. That way if one card corrupts I still have a back up.) Regardless of who shoots your wedding, this should be a must for EVERY photographer.
do you have backup gear?
After your session/wedding everything is backed up on two hard drives, and I don’t format the SD cards until your photos are delivered. I deliver everything online, so the gallery is also hosted for a year. It is then archived.
how long are our photos stored for?
ABSOLUTELY. We can break up the payments into four equal payments OR 25% is due when you sign the contract with the remainder due 2 weeks before the wedding day.
do you offer payment plans?

Let’s just say Brooke FAR exceeded our expectations! My husband and I got married in Houston and Brooke flew down from Utah to capture our day. We had to send save the dates out several months prior to finding Brooke, but she still insisted that we do an engagement session so she can get a feel for how we interact together and our style! Not only did she capture our day perfectly, but my husband and I gained a friend in her as well. BOOK HER!!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Brooke. She has done family shoots, my engagement shoot, and shot my wedding and I end up more impressed every single time. Her bubbly, yet kind-hearted personality makes you feel so comfortable throughout your time together. She’s natural, and realistic, while also open to trying new poses/trends. I wouldn’t even consider any other photographer at this point for any future shoots. She has become more than just a photographer to my family and I over the years and I could not recommend her enough!

Brooke is the BEST!! When someone excels at their work like Brooke, word travels! But she is so much more than her beautiful photography with her timeless vibes — she is also AMAZING to work with. Brooke brings incredible energy to the planning process and your day. She will be your hype girl and a fantastic addition to the party! Brooke is beyond motivated to give you the best possible experience on your special day with the added bonus of capturing magazine-level photography (which is how family and friends continue to describe our wedding photos). If you want an incredible photographer, and an amazing person in your life (esp during an otherwise stressful time of wedding planning 😊) book with Brooke!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! It’s hard to sum into words how incredible Brooke is! Not only were her pictures for both my wedding and engagement phenomenal, but she is also a bright light, who brought such a positive energy to my wedding day. She is creative; we never ran out of poses or scenic locations for photo ops. She has great vision and I completely trusted her perspective. She is also extremely efficient and communicative— I received my sneak peak the next day! I have recommended her to all my friends getting married and I definitely will be using her for all my future photoshoots!

Working with Brooke was absolutely AMAZING! She is professional, fun, and produces incredible photos. We left each session with more photos than we would have with any other photographer and every one was of the highest quality. We have had endless comments about how wonderful she was with the family at at the reception on the wedding day and how beautiful the photos turned out. It was the best decision of our wedding (other than getting married, of course)!
