But don’t worry — that’s exactly what I’m here for. From finding the perfect location to helping you feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourselves, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

I know that being in front of the camera can bring a mix of excitement and nerves, but that’s where I come in. My goal is to make this experience effortless, fun, and true to who you are as a couple. Whether we’re capturing quiet, cozy moments or running through the city at golden hour, I’ll guide you every step of the way—so you can relax, laugh, and just be yourselves.
So take your time, savor this season, and trust that I’ve got you. Together, we’ll create a session that feels unforgettable—a genuine reflection of your love, exactly as it is.

what matters most
From stolen glances and cheeky kisses to full-on belly laughs, I’ll be there to capture it all—the love, the connection, and every little unscripted moment in between.
I’m all about the real stuff—the in-between moments that unfold naturally when you’re simply together. I’ll step in to guide you when it feels right, but mostly, I’ll give you space to just be. To move, to laugh, to breathe each other in, and to let the day unfold naturally.
Every ounce of my energy goes into creating images that feel like you. When you look back through your gallery, I want you to not just see what it looked like, but to feel it—the joy, the calm, the connection, all over again.
"it felt like a conversation with my best friend after our initial call"
"We had THE BEST experience doing our engagement photos with Bri! We were in a unique, time-sensitive situation due to issues with my ring and Bri was able to not only squeeze us into her schedule on short notice, but also reached out to all the locations for us. She was so helpful in providing information on locations and I told my fiance it felt like a conversation with my best friend after our initial call.
Bri is so knowledgeable with poses and directing, she made my fiance who is not super comfortable in front of the camera have a blast. The shoot went so smooth and easy and we are so incredibly happy with how our photos turned out. We highly recommend Bri and hope to work with her again!"
Tara x brandon
"Bri is the best of the best. She made our day so very magical and fun. When I say I couldn't be happier with everything I absolutely mean it. She has the kindest soul and is truly so fun to work with . I am so blessed and happy to have chosen her to take the pictures I'll look at and cherish forever. "
HI THERE, I'm Bri
I’ve always been creatively minded—drawn to the raw, unfiltered connections that make life so meaningful. The way a glance can speak volumes, how laughter fills a room, or how a touch can say everything. These are the moments that truly matter.
At the heart of every love story, it’s these fleeting, beautiful moments that tell the real story—the ones that often go unnoticed but mean everything. Being able to freeze time, to capture not just how it looked but how it felt, is something I’ll never take for granted.
Long after the flowers have dried and the music has faded, these photographs remain—preserving the quiet, in-between moments that make your love story yours.
I can’t wait to hear all about your ideas, your vision, and the moments you’re most excited for. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

*please keep in mind, my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session in them - so if you'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - please let me know!*
For candid, storytelling-style engagement or couples photos, I always recommend giving ourselves a little extra time together. A longer session lets us slow down, settle in, and create a space where natural moments can unfold without feeling rushed.
Think of it as more than just a photo session, let’s make it a date. We can plan an activity you love, explore a place that holds meaning, or simply spend time somewhere that feels like home. This approach invites genuine laughter, quiet in-between moments, and true connection — resulting in photos that feel effortlessly and authentically you.

so, why bri?
Choosing a photographer for your engagement or couples session is about more than just getting beautiful photos, it’s about finding someone you trust to capture your connection in a way that feels effortless and true to you. Someone who will document the real moments, the laughter, the quiet in-betweens, and the little glances that make your love yours.
I don’t believe in stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, I take the time to truly get to know you, creating an experience that feels natural, relaxed, and fun. Whether we’re exploring a place you love, capturing an everyday moment, or turning your session into a full-on date night, my goal is for you to be present with each other, while I document it all.
With a mix of candid storytelling and timeless, artful imagery, I focus on capturing your love exactly as it feels—authentic, unscripted, and completely you. Because at the end of the day, these photos aren’t just about how you look together, but about how you feel together. And that’s exactly what I’m here to preserve.
testimonial
"Long story short - CA girl moves to OH. My love and I created a home. Bri is now family. I knew all I had to do was have an Americano ready and outfits laid out. In seconds were laughing and rollin. Bri captured the warm light I see pour through the blinds of our big loft windows more beautifully than it appeared in real life - magic. Her energy is genuine and calming. I loved that there wasn’t much structure to our shoot because as Austin and I sipped coffee, danced around and loved each other, she was capturing those moments most dream about – the butterfly smiles, the gestures sometimes you think only you two notice, the kisses given that make your heart full. Organic. Natural. Beautiful. Love.
She is just the most creative, good feels, down to do anything, adventurous soul.
We love her and know you will too."
AUSTIN + MCKENNA
"If I could give Bri more than 5 stars or 10/10 I would. From the moment I shared my ideas with Bri, she just got it. She saw our vision and executed it to perfection. We had so much fun getting to know her on a deeper level and running around downtown Nashville together. She directed our shoot in a way that felt effortless and completely unposed. She also got us our photos in record time. I could not be more happy with our experience and cannot wait to see what Bri does with our wedding!"
BRIENNA + CJ
"she was capturing those moments most dream about - the butterfly smiles, the gestures something you think only you two notice, the kisses are given that make your heart full. Organic. Natural. Beautiful. Love."

Aside from your $ 250 retainer, which is due at the time of booking, your final payment is due 7 days prior to your wedding date. I'm super flexible in the in-between, which allows you to break up your payments however you'd like.

I typically suggest booking your couples or engagement session about two months in advance. That gives us plenty of time to plan your location, outfits, and overall vibe without feeling rushed.
If you’re hoping for a date during the busy season — March through May or September through October, it’s best to reach out as soon as possible to ensure we can reserve your preferred date. Those months tend to fill up fast!

If you’re using your photos for save-the-dates, I recommend scheduling your session about 7–9 months before your wedding to allow time for shooting, editing, and printing.
If your session is simply to celebrate this season, anytime 2–6 months before your wedding works perfectly. Just keep in mind the season and light you love most — whether that’s spring blooms or golden fall tones — and reach out early so we can plan around it.

All of my wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session. If you book your wedding within two months of your session, you can choose between a package discount or using that value toward rehearsal dinner coverage.
If you book after the two-month window, the session will simply roll into rehearsal coverage — either way, it’s always put toward telling your story in a meaningful way.

Of course! I love photographing couples at every stage — whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating an anniversary, or simply wanting photos that feel like you. You don’t have to be one of my wedding couples to book a session.
Each couples or engagement session is its own experience, designed to capture your connection and this chapter of your story in a way that feels relaxed, intentional, and true to you.

If you need to reschedule, the first change is completely free — I get that life happens! After that, any additional reschedules will include a $100 fee to help cover the time and planning that goes into holding your date.
If you need to cancel, your retainer is non-refundable, and cancellations made within 7 days of your session will result in forfeiting all monies paid.
I do my best to stay flexible while still honoring the time and care that goes into every session.

Whatever makes you feel comfortable and like yourself! The best photos happen when you can move, laugh, and be fully present — so wear something that feels natural, not forced.

I always suggest choosing a place — or doing something — that’s meaningful to you. Maybe that’s your favorite coffee shop, the beach at sunset, or a spot that’s part of your story. The most natural photos come from being somewhere that feels like you.
If you’re not sure where to start, I have lots of location ideas and can help scout the perfect spot to match your vision and vibe.

Absolutely — please do! Pets are family, and I love including them in your session. I do recommend bringing along a friend or family member to help manage them, since we likely won’t be using them in every photo. That way, you can relax and stay fully present once their starring moment is done.

Absolutely! While my style is storytelling-driven and focused on real moments, I know being in front of the camera can feel a little awkward at first. I’ll gently guide you with as many prompts or poses as you need (or want!) to help you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself.
My goal is to make the experience feel natural — like you’re just hanging out together — while I quietly capture the connection and emotion that make your story unique.

You’ll receive a minimum of 50 digital and film photos in a password-protected online gallery, delivered within a few weeks of your session. Your gallery will stay live for 6 months (unless you’ve booked your wedding with me — then it stays up through your entire process!).
You’ll be able to download, share, and order prints directly from your gallery — making it easy to relive your session and celebrate your photos however you’d like.

Don’t worry, I always plan ahead for weather! When we schedule your session, I automatically block off two potential dates just in case. I’ll make the final call the morning of your session, based on the forecast.
If we end up needing to reschedule after that, we’ll find another backup date that works for everyone. A little drizzle never scares me off though — I’m totally comfortable shooting in light rain, and some of the most romantic photos happen that way.

If your session location is more than 100 miles round trip, a small travel fee will apply to cover the extra distance. Just let me know where you’re dreaming of, and we’ll make it happen!

It’s the perfect way to relive your session, movement, laughter, and all — in a way that feels timeless and true to you.

SOME love notes From PAST COUPLES
nashville, tennessee
nashville, tennessee
brooklyn, new york
Words can’t describe how much we adore Bri! She first joined us for my sister-in-law’s wedding, then was there when my fiancé proposed, took our engagement photos, and NOW our wedding photos—safe to say, we’re obsessed!
Bri has a way of capturing each moment beautifully and effortlessly, without ever feeling posed. Every shot is flawless. Beyond her incredible talent, she’s exactly the person you want by your side on your wedding day. We’re forever grateful for you, Bri!
"If you are reading this review to decide whether to hire Bri as your wedding photographer, DO IT! She is absolutely fabulous and gave us the engagement photos/wedding day of our dreams. Bri has wonderful communication, a stunning eye, and a warm personality that made her feel like part of the family on our big day. I really enjoyed being able to run design/visual ideas by her and feel secure that she will totally "get it." As part of her package, she invites couples to lean on her for logistics and details due to her expertise in the field. I truly believe that our wedding day would not have been nearly as wonderful if we hadn't found Bri! Also, we had multiple members or our bridal party come up to compliment how efficiently the photo sessions were ran. They have been in weddings where this process is painful, awkward and long and were soooo thrilled at how Bri and her second shooter handled the day. Thank you for being so easy to work with and for spending one of the greatest days of our lives with us!"
It truly was an amazing experience working with Bri and the incredible team she assembled!!! From checking in before the wedding, to going above and beyond to make me and my husband feel confident and comfortable, she truly did it all and I can’t imagine having another photographer capture this incredible day. The pictures are something we will cherish forever and I love that she captured our personalities and the feel of our wedding. THANK YOU BRI!!!
