I know engagement photos can come with both excitement and a few nerves, but that’s where I come in. My goal is to make this experience effortless, fun, and so true to who you are as a couple. Whether we’re capturing cozy, intimate moments or running through the city at golden hour, I’m here to guide you, hype you up, and make sure you feel completely at ease in front of the camera.

why i can't wait
to document your love
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 deeply value the raw, real moments that unfold naturally between you two. While I’ll step in to guide you when needed, my priority is to create space for you to just be—to soak each other in, to laugh, to move, to feel completely at ease while I document your love exactly as it is.
Hand on heart, every ounce of my energy goes into creating a collection of images that feel authentic to you. When you flip through your photos, I want you to not just see the moments, but feel them all over again—like you’re right back there, in that moment, together.”
"I truly believe our wedding day would not have been nearly as wonderful if we hadn't found 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. "
KATIE + TIM
"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
A creative soul with a love for romance.
I’ve always been creatively minded, drawn to the raw, unfiltered connections that make life so meaningful. The way a simple glance can speak volumes, how laughter fills a room, or how a touch can say everything—these are the moments that truly matter. And at the heart of every wedding day, it’s these fleeting, beautiful moments that tell the real story.
Being able to freeze time, to capture the emotions you felt and not just what was seen, is something I cherish more than I can put into words. Long after the flowers have dried and the music has faded, these photographs will 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.

For candid, documentary-style engagement photos, I always recommend giving ourselves a little extra time together. A longer session allows us to settle in, get comfortable, and create a relaxed space where natural moments can unfold.
Think of it as more than just a photo session—let’s turn it into a date! We could plan an activity you love, explore a place that holds special meaning, or simply soak in each other’s company somewhere that feels like home. This approach invites genuine laughter, quiet in-between moments, and true connection, resulting in photos that feel authentically you.
how to get truly candid photos during your traditional engagement session
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.
an engagement dinner TOGETHER
As a documentary wedding photographer, I believe that building a real connection with my couples is key to capturing your story in the most authentic way. Instead of a traditional engagement session, I suggest something a little different—let’s grab dinner or coffee together.
Sharing a meal/drink gives us the chance to connect in a relaxed, no-pressure setting where we can chat, laugh, and talk about your vision for your wedding day. Then, after dinner, we’ll step outside for a quick 30-minute portrait session—just enough time to capture some effortless, natural images of you two without it feeling like a formal photoshoot.
This approach means that when your wedding day arrives, you won’t just see me as your photographer—you’ll feel completely at ease, knowing you have someone by your side who truly gets you. And that comfort? It allows me to document your day as it naturally unfolds, capturing the moments that matter most.

testimonial
"Bri captured the warm light I see pour through the blinds of our big 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 something you think only you two notice, the kisses are given that make your heart full. Organic. Natural. Beautiful. Love. "

"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!"

frequently asked questions
While I’m not your planner (and I actually require you to have one for full weddings), I work closely alongside them to ensure your day flows seamlessly. Your planner will craft the overall timeline, but they may not always know exactly how long certain photography moments take—that’s where I come in. I’ll make sure we have plenty of time for the photos that matter most while keeping the day stress-free and enjoyable.

frequently asked questions
While I’m completely comfortable photographing your day solo, having a second shooter can make a huge difference in the flow of the day. It allows me to be in two places at once and provides a unique second perspective to your story. All of my second shooters are experienced wedding photographers in their own right, ensuring your day is captured seamlessly from every angle.

frequently asked questions
I do not provide RAW files, as I believe editing is half the magic that brings your images to life. Without this step, the photos are only halfway done. I promise to include every meaningful moment, but if you ever feel like something is missing, just ask—I’m always happy to double-check!

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!!!
