Brian is such an artist!!! From the moment I met him I felt I could trust him with creating a video that told the story of our wedding but he did so much more than that! The quality of the video was amazing! The quality of the sound (in spite of some challenges that had nothing to do with him) and song choice was perfection. Plus he was so creative - asking us to do things that when put into the video were just so smart and clever and cool! Honestly we cried during the preview and the entire 10 minute video! He captured the essence of the event, all of the emotions, and told the story of our love

Brian and his team at Pixel That! did a terrific job for our daughter’s wedding. They were able to capture the spirit of the wedding ceremony and reception and the video is so well done we couldn’t be happier. We’ve watched it several times already. I highly recommend Pixel That! for your wedding or any other event.

Brian is the best! His professionalism and experience will leave you wondering how you had anyone else capture your events before.
We hired Brian capture our wedding back in 2019 and were blown away with his composition and editing. His experience is evident in how thoughtful and helpful he was in making sure the gauntlet of photo ops went smoothly and efficiently.
We were able to do a sneak peek of the photos at his studio too which was really fun.
If you're shopping around for photographers for your event look no further!

Absolutely loved working with Brian. As a planner/Coordinator it's hard working with an open minded photographer at times. But Brian makes it a breeze. He takes care of his couples and the vendor team being considerate. I worked with him at Lafayette Hotel in San Diego and hope to do more weddings with him soon. Loved his work so much we are hiring him for a corporate contract this weekend. Hope there are more times we work together. It's a great combo.

Pixel That! Photography shot my wedding photos, newborn photos and family Christmas portrait. All 3 projects turned out amazing! Brian was professional throughout with great communication, a quick turn around time, and was great with our child helping to great some wonderful pictures that are displayed all around our home.
His new studio is warm and inviting and great for family portraits. Make sure to check them out. You will be glad you did!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Brian for a number of years. Not only is he an incredible human, but one of the top photographers in the country. He has mastered the craft and is able to connect with his clients seamlessly. This is SO IMPORTANT!! It's so nerve wracking to have your pictures done and he makes everyone feel comfortable within minutes. If you are stressed that will show in the images, so his ability to make you feel relaxed is vital. He captures the moments between the moment and understands connection at its core. A posed photo is easy and sometimes stiff, instead Brian works

I met Brian through mutual photographers and as a fellow photographer, Brian is amazing and exceeds industry standards. He takes amazing shots while keeping a professional and upbeat composure, the entire time. He also works extremely well with other vendors. I'm glad that my wife and I hired Brian to photograph our wedding. We loved the beautiful pictures he took and would highly recommend him.

We absolutely love our photos and we owe everything to Brian. There are a lot of horror stories out there and we feel like we hit the jackpot with his professionalism, eye for detail, personality and love for what he does. His photos help us relive the day and we treasure them. HIGHLY recommended by the Bates family!

I have known Brian for more than 6 years. He does amazing work, the photo set ups are perfect. We've worked together in photographing horses and young children together. He maintains a gentle calm in getting both (unpredictable) subjects looking their best. I would definitely recommend Brian for any photography needs.

I first met Brian at a wedding Mexico where he was doing some photography,,, for fun. I immediately noticed how beautiful his shots were and his mastery of lighting. So when I needed a photographer for my wedding celebration he was the man for the job. He was extremely professional, showed up on time, went right to work, had a vision for my style, and most importantly, I NEVER noticed him taking pictures throughout the whole evening. When he revealed all of the pictures that he took I was amazed!!! Everything was beautiful! There wasn't one picture where I thought "what was he thinking?" He utilized

As a wedding and special event planner, I have worked with many photographers over the years and I can wholeheartedly say that Brian is one of the most talented in his field. His passion and dedication to his art shines through his creativity. He has an eye for lighting, even in the most difficult of situations. He genuinely cares about his clients and always makes them feel comfortable and happy and each project is absolutely amazing and jaw dropping. It's magazine worthy every time! I highly recommend Brian for any of your photography needs, you won't be disappointed!

I don't even know where to being praising Brian.
With everything that happens on a wedding day, Brian and his professionalism and creativity stand out as the highlight of the day. He took the time to pose shots without making us feel like we were being posed. He went above and beyond what our contract stated.
We went to two different locations after the wedding site to capture the perfect photos - and he didn't have to do that. He brought a drone and captured some great pictures.
His creativity with getting us to pose in ways we never would have thought of gave us pictures that are

Brian was the photographer for the Shea Center (therapeutic horse riding). My son was asked to participate in a photoshoot for promotional photos. When we arrived, my son had fallen asleep and I had to wake him up for the photos, he is 3 and was not happy to put it mildly. Brian was very patient while we tried to engage my son in the process. After he warmed up a little bit, Brian started to engage him by playing catch. Within 20 minutes my son was laughing and having a great time. Brian took AMAZING PHOTOS of my son and the horse.

Brian was a recommendation from another photographer for our corporate event. It was a multi-day event with various locations and moving parts. He did an awesome job and has probably been the most technical photographer we've ever used. He made very good use of equipment and was very strategic - we also had a great session where he used his drone.
He put together a slideshow presentation that captured the emotions of the event very well.
Thanks again Brian.

I was privy to witnessing Brian and his team in action for my friends' wedding and a few years later, when it came to vetting photographers for my sister's wedding, Pixel That! was the first to come to mind. I was confident they would capture their special day that matched her and her husband's personalities. Brian is focused and in tune with the needs of his clients before, during, and after the wedding. Moreover, his robust knowledge of emerging technologies with regards to photobooths, droids, and use of unique lighting gives him the ability to holistically capture the story of

Brian has so generously donated his time to our charity awards event for CanstructionOC (www.canstructionoc.org) for many years, and I couldn't wait to hire him for our daughter's wedding. What a pleasure he is to work with - fun, with a great eye for all the special details you want captured on a wedding day. The candid shots of guests, the close-ups of details like rings and decor, and beautiful shots of the ceremony and wedding party. Our wedding was before he added drone photography - I've seen his drone images and video. They are great. #canstructionoc #blomfest2014

Words can not start to explain how talented Brian is with taking pictures. He took our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a fusion video. We are always getting number of compliments of how well our photos have turned out and how great our photographer (Brian) is in capturing priceless moments. Not to mention he will go above and beyond to help with anything he can, he was our savior when we could not create nor pick our own save the date cards. But Brian came to the rescue and created one for us and it looked amazing. On top of that we felt like he was our own little wedding planner assistant

Brian is a master! We just got our pictures back (from our August wedding) and they are everything I'd hoped for. Choosing a photographer is such a subjective process, and I talked to 4 or 5 photographers before going with my gut and choosing Brian. I live in SoCal and there are so many photographers out here! But I wasn't really looking for the hipster/trendy wedding photos - you know, the kind where nobody smiles and everything looks like its been through an Instagram filter? I wanted photographs that were UNfiltered, that captured emotion and love without trying so dang hard. ;) Don

Brian is amaaaaazing!!! He was referred to me and my husband by a good friend of mine. He did our engagement photo's & wedding photo's and I don't have 1 complaint! I was nervous to do engagement photo's, because I get verrrry nervous around camera's. But the moment we met Brian, we felt like we had known him for years! So he definitely made that experience very fun for us. On our wedding day, he was spot on! He got pics of every special moment, and then some......even pics that I didn't even think of, he got! My entire wedding party and family loved him

He had excellent and timely communication throughout the entire process and was very flexible and professional. We would recommend Brian & Pixel That! Photography for any of your photography needs!!
