“To say Brandon was exceptional would be an understatement. He went above and beyond in every way to make our wedding day one we can relive for a lifetime! He was on time and professional while retrieving his footage. Prior to our wedding day he spoke with my husband and I about what we were hoping to see in our wedding video. He asked us if there were any special moments that we desired he give special attention to. He walked us through his plan for the day and was always available to discuss any changes or ideas we thought of prior to our big day. When we received our wedding footage it simply confirmed we made the best decision in hiring him. Brandon went above and beyond to accommodate me even after my wedding day when my dad got sick. I reached out to him to ask him if he could send me the specific clip of our father/daughter dance in its entirety and he delivered it two days later. He was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! If you want someone who truly understands the art of cinematography and values his relationship with his clients, reach out to Brandon immediately. I still cry every time I watch our wedding video - beautiful, tasteful, and something to cherish forever.

“Brandon was extremely professional and exceeded beyond our expectations! He is incredibly talented and was able to capture of of the best moments of our special day without us even realizing. He was excellent with coordinating our families, parties, and friends to take photos prior to the ceremony. We hired Brandon in 2019 and due to the pandemic, our wedding was delayed like many others. He still stayed in touch throughout the years and provided assurance and support where needed. We highly recommend him for any of your events, he is simply the best!”

“Brandon is just amazing, I cannot say enough good things about his work! I had a wild proposal idea at the top of Sky Top Tower, and it would not have been possible without Brandon's help. If you aren't familiar with the area, there's only one way to the top...a 3 mile hike (and another 3 back down!). I wanted to capture photo and video, so that also means he did the hike with TWO cameras along with his other equipment. Brandon got to the mountain before us, and waited at the top for over an hour in the rain (while I got us lost on the trail) to capture our special moment. We then took some amazing engagement pictures in the nearby area. Brandon is so familiar with the area, and helped me plan every step of the way. He knew when the best time to arrive would be to beat traffic and crowds, mapped out a route for the hike, where to take photos after, and any other logistics that were needed. We received the edited photos back the following day, and were floored by how great they came out.
I cannot recommend Brandon enough to anyone who is looking to capture that special moment. We will definitely be in touch when it's time for the wedding!”

“From the moment we sat down with Brandon at the New Paltz Starbucks, it was obvious that he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He was professional, organized, enthusiastic and experienced far beyond anything we would have expected. Brandon was a pleasure to have at the wedding and he made sure to capture the requisite family pictures and wedding moments as well as candid shots documenting the unique aspects of our party and ceremony. When we received the final photographs, they were spectacular. Renee and I offer Brandon our highest recommendation as a wedding photographer. You won't be disappointed!”

“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding every step of the way. My husband and I would strongly recommend him to any engaged couples in the Hudson Valley. He made us feel comfortable and confident on our prep calls in advance, and was professional and courteous throughout the big day. He did a wonderful job making our family, bridal party and the two of us feel comfortable throughout, managing a large group of people and working through the shot list we provided with diligence, while not being overbearing or creating stress for anyone along the way. He was relaxed and flexible, ready to adapt to our last-minute wishes and timing. He also brought some great creativity to our photoshoot after the ceremony, facilitating shots that we would not have thought of. Perhaps most importantly, he turned our edited photos around in just a few weeks, and we were thrilled with the final product (as were our families). We are very grateful for his beautiful work, which will forever help us think fondly of our wedding day.”

“We used Brandon for our engagement shoot and we couldn’t be happier with how our pictures came out. He really took the time to direct me and my fiancé so our shots came out fantastic. Not only are the photos beautiful, but he edited and emailed them to us within 24 hours. Extremely professional!”
