I photograph weddings because there is a fire in my heart to tell your story not just beautifully but with authenticity. This is YOUR story. Your wedding will be different than any wedding you see here on my website or anywhere you'll find on the internet. When you look past the beautiful venues, the stunning florals, the dress you searched so long and hard for, you'll find something that will truly last forever - your own unique legacy.
This is your personal history, the images that will be enjoyed not just by you but by your children, your grandchildren, and your decedents for as long as a photograph can last. I don't take that lightly and will always work hard to observe your story, photograph it honestly, and honor everyone I encounter because everyone's story matters.

Services
I suggest around 3 hours of coverage for your elopement. This will allow us time to document as you get ready, your ceremony, and plenty of time for intimate and relaxed sunset portraits. The rate is $2800 and includes travel up to 150 miles within the Bay Area. Should you need more or less time, please let us know and we can easily customize your package.
Dear Bre, It has been almost 2 months since the wedding and almost everyday since I have enjoyed seeing a picture from our perfect day. Whether it be on a computer screen background, a cell phone homepage or a Facebook page the pictures you took were amazing. I know Sayoko took some time choosing her photographer as she always does her research before making any decision.
How quickly do I receive my images? You'll receive sneak peeks within 48 hours and your final gallery within 4-6weeks. How do we decide on how many hours of coverage we need for our wedding day? 8 hours is our base package because I believe that this allows us the time to accurately tell the story of your wedding day.
Do you struggle with posing couples? If so, this quick and easy guide will offer you 10 poses that you can execute quickly, easily, and with any couple. These poses are classic yet not stiff and offer elements of fun an intimacy. Once you have these 10 poses mastered you can move on to more complex poses that utilize movement, laughter, or a longer execution time.
Are you a photographer interested in shooting weddings? In this guide you will learn how to first become an amazing second shooter. You will learn the skills necessary to capture unique photos that will add value to the primary shooter's final gallery while teaching you the fundamentals of becoming a primary shooter.

I cannot stop looking at our gorgeous photos!!! The lighting, the angles, the composition. Bre truly knows her stuff. When my husband and I first spoke with her about photographing our wedding we talked about wanting to capture those beautiful, candid moments. We told her we were more familiar with being behind the camera than in front of it so we might need some direction. But the most important thing was that she stick to her style, which is elegant and classic, yet somehow effortless and intimate. It's a style we loved, but we could never have anticipated the magic that she captured.

Bre did a great job taking pictures for our wedding. She was easy to work with and captured a lot of little moments I'd forgotten about. More importantly, my wife was really happy with how the photos turned out and raved about how flexible and supportive Bre was when we had to change our plans because of coronavirus. We barely noticed she was there except when she was helping direct people for portraits, which was much needed because we don't know a lot about how to set up good shots. I don't plan on getting married again in the future - but if you're planning a wedding, I

We can't recommend Bre enough! There are so many wedding photographers that finding the right one felt overwhelming. We looked through tons of portfolios, but Bre's work stood out to us from the others. There is something about her photos that capture not only the moment, but elicit feeling and emotion as well. She truly captures the entire essence of what she is photographing. Her work is also versatile- candids, portraits, landscape shots and close ups were all phenomenal! She was also such a pleasure to work with- it felt like a close friend was capturing our day. We got so many compliments

How can I even begin to give Bre (and her team: Kate and Nicola) the justice and review they deserve.
They were more I could ever hope for and more! We found Bre through one of my bridesmaids and best friends. She had worked with her at weddings when she worked for a caterer and Bre was the photographer. Choosing a photographer was always something I felt would be difficult. My family owns Nestldown and I have seen thousands of wedding photos and photographers but now it was time for my husband and I to pick our own!

We hired Bre to take our wedding photos, and we could not have been more thrilled with the process and results!
First, you should know that I was actually pretty picky about picking a wedding photographer since I'm a hobby photographer myself. I reviewed at least 3 dozen photographer's portfolios, looking for someone that could capture the real moments of a wedding day and not just posed beauty. Bre was my first choice based on portfolio, and after reaching out to see if she was available and getting a prompt and professional reply, I knew I didn't need to look further. (She was

Working with Bre was wonderful!
She was the photographer for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and they all turned out beautifully! We ended up with such gorgeous photos for both events that let us re-live the days all over again.
Bre was really patient with all my questions before the wedding, and the photos on the day of the wedding went off without a hitch. She took beautiful photos of my husband and I, as well as the wedding party, and then also some great shots of the reception afterwards. Her style and the details she captured are all lovely, and we are so happy with the

Bre is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and on top of that she is an OUTSTANDING photographer. My husband and I have had Bre photograph our family twice in the last two years and are so pleased with the results. She has a way of capturing the very essence of our family and we cannot thank her enough for the incredible gift she has given us. Everyone compliments us on the giant canvas we have hanging in our living room, and we recommend her to all of our friends. Thank you Bre for being amazing!

Bre is the best! We worked with her for our wedding and I also used her for some boudoir shots for my husband's wedding present. Her prices are reasonable, her personality is fabulous, and her work is beautiful. At our wedding, she made everyone feel so at ease and captured some unforgettable moments on our special day. Her attention to detail is such that when you look back through your photos, you get to experience the moments all over again. She captures the small things that would be easy to forget. She is great at organizing big groups and thinking on her feet. Her boudoir sessions are
