Her intuition and care had really shone through during a difficult moment at our ceremony. We planned a butterfly release to honor my late father, which was unfortunately missed due to a logistical error by our planner. Knowing how deeply special this moment was to me, Brooke immediately came over to comfort me and suggested a private release instead. She transformed a heartbreaking mishap into something more magical than I could have ever dreamed: an intimate, private photo shoot of my husband and me releasing the butterflies, that I will cherish forever.
Brooke’s bright, bubbly personality is truly contagious, and that joy radiates through every single photo. She didn’t just capture our memories—she elevated our entire wedding experience.
Brooke was the absolute best choice we made for our wedding! She was professional and kept us going/on time throughout the day, but more importantly, she was someone I wanted to spend the day with. You spend so many hours with your photographer on your wedding that finding someone you enjoy and trust to capture all of the most special moments - it makes all the difference. On top of loving the day with her, what she produced was STUNNING. She captured every moment just as we remember and everyone we show our photos to says how stunning they all are. We can’t recommend Brooke enough and just hope we have a reason to work with her again!
You'd be insane to hire anyone else! I was lucky enough to be a bridesmaid in a wedding 3 years before I was engaged and loved her energy so much I knew I'd hire her for my own wedding one day. Brooke was careful to ask how we envisioned our wedding and most importantly how we felt about our angles and what we liked most about ourselves in photos to ensure we'd love our wedding pictures. The wedding went by too fast, as all do, and Brooke captured all of the best moments from our vows to our party reception. We got a sneak peek the day after and a gorgeous full album a few weeks later. Her photos are bright and happy and in absolute perfection. You will not regret booking her!
Okay, not really. There is no need for a full-blown “in a relationship” status, but once you know I’m your photographer, let’s make it official. A signed contract & 50% retainer fee will lock you in on my calendar.
The next step is to video chat! I want to “meet” you and your fiance after your initial inquiry. We will chat about your vision and what is most important to you, and I’ll answer questions you may not even know to ask. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than any other vendor, so you might as well enjoy their company.
Ya know, with your soulmate and then me. Take time to look through my site, read through the experience, and make sure everything sounds like the photography services you have always wanted for your wedding day.
However, this experience should be no surprise.

IT’S OFFICIALLY HERE! All the stress and happy tears have led to this, the day you say “I do” to your person! I will be there all day, like full service baby, to ensure no moment is missed. From getting ready to the 10 minute all too well version to the circle of friends surrounding you at the last dance, and everything in between!
With my clients, I put in the effort to check in on you regularly, work alongside your planning team and take as much off your plate a possible. However, our final chat leading up to the wedding may be the most important of them all! I send out a questionnaire and work with you or your planner to create a perfectly curated timeline to squeeze in all the good stuff and celebrate it extra loud!
Now that you are booked and we are officially friends, we have our first opportunity to get you in front of my lens! Engagement sessions are the perfect test run to see how I interact with you, direct and pose and what the final product look and feels like! It's a time for more fun and freedom, with ample time for portraits and play. And to celebrate while that ring still feels new and heavy on your hand!

We will work closely to curate a mini album from your full wedding day gallery. You will choose 50-100 of your favorite images of your day that my designer will turn into a beautiful album layout to tell the story of your wedding. Once approved, 3-4 weeks later, you'll have a timeless piece to show off to family and friends for years to come.
It's officially time to relive the best day of your life. Everything from morning tears reading each other's letters to the dance circle at your reception. Take this time to have a viewing party with friends or sit with your partner, looking through every moment captured. Within 4-6 weeks of your wedding, you'll receive an email with your full gallery through an online gallery.
Just like Amazon, but way more exciting. Listen, I know how exciting it is to get an Amazon box on your doorstep. Like them, I deliver in 1-2 days… the previews. Your first round of previews arrive in your inbox within 48 hours, followed by a chunky 50-100 image gallery one week later while you’re on the beach on your honeymoon sipping a marg and reliving it all!

Most couples invest around $7,500 for the full Brooke Michelle experience aka all-day storytelling that doesn’t miss a moment (or a beat drop).
Your wedding deserves more than pretty photos. It deserves a photographer who knows how to lead, adapt, and document every real, wild, emotional, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments without ever pulling you out of them.
Let’s make sure the vibes live on, even after the wedding ends!
Fit matters more than a portfolio. That's why I sit down with every couple for a call before booking to talk through your vision, my approach, and whether our values line up. I want your day to look and feel like you, and that starts with really listening. When the conversation flows and we're laughing together, that's usually a good sign we're meant to work together
Bold, warm, and true to color... that's my approach. I don't chase trends or heavy filters; I want your gallery to reflect the day exactly as it felt, full of genuine emotion and real personality. My style leans into natural light and authentic moments so that years from now, these photos still feel like you.
The short answer? There is no limit. My husband and I live full-time in a camper, so home isn't a fixed address for us, it's wherever the road (or your wedding) takes us. That means I'm genuinely equipped and excited to travel anywhere you're saying "I do," whether that's a mountaintop, a coastline, or somewhere across the world. Love doesn't have a hometown, and neither do I.
I do not! But if you are interested in a videographer, be sure to ask me and I’d love to point you in the direction of some of my favorites!
Yes! For couples who want every moment of their wedding weekend captured, not just the wedding day itself. I offer full weekend packages that include rehearsal coverage. It's a great option if you want the whole story documented, from the night before through the send-off.
Let's make things official. After discovering we are the perfect fit, I will send over a contract for you and your fiancé to sign, as well as a retainer for 50% of your total package price to lock your date with me!
Once we select a date for your session I will email over a questionnaire to learn more about your vision, wants and needs. From there I will send you a location guide to choose from popular past locations or look into any you have suggested! I do the heavy lifting of looking into permits, lighting and any timing restrictions.
I average about 80-100 images per hour. For engagement sessions that typically looks like 80-100 and for wedding days closer to 800-1200.
For engagement or portrait sessions my clients can expect a 2-3 week turnaround for the full high resolution online gallery. For weddings my turn around time for the full resolution online gallery is usually 6-8 weeks!
I do not! With the sometimes insane amount of images I deliver I just do not have the time. I usually only duplicate the seriously special and intimate moments and others that I personally believe look better one way or another!
No! I use (what I call) a week long rule in my business! This means if something is temporary such as a bruise, acne or stain then I will edit it out to the best of my ability. I will not edit out anything that makes you, well, you! However, I will pose you in the most flattering way and make you feel amazing every second you are in front of my lens!
Ahhh I’m so glad you asked! This is one of my favorite processes! Once you’ve received your high resolution online gallery I will ask you to go through and create a list of favorites! Once you’ve selected and named the favorites list, I send them off to my designer and we wait for the first proof, aka the best part! You are able to proof and make revisions up to three rounds and once it’s perfect we send it off to be printed! Simple as that :).
Yes! I have liability insurance for up to one million dollars and can easily provide proof to any venue in need of that!
Absolutely! I am kind of a freak when it comes to this, even my backup has a backup! It is as important to me as it is to you, to provide images that will be with you for years to come! So in order to do so with confidence, I am sure to bring replacements for pretty much anything in my bag!
Always.
