YOUR LOVE STORY
IS YOUR LEGACY
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Everyone has a story, and what better way to tell that story than with a creative and talented wedding photographer?
I aim to create and form a meaningful relationship with all of my clients which allows us to connect and provide unique storytelling imagery.
Let me help tell your love story to the world.
So...You're Getting Married
Hi! My name is Bradley and I am a North Carolina Wedding Photographer based out of Raleigh, North Carolina! There is nothing I love more than meeting new people and telling their love story. No single story is the same, and that is the beauty of what I do. I get to tell a new story every single time and each story has its own beauty.
I welcome you to take a look around, check out my work here and let me know if you have any questions at all! If you are interested in booking me or asking a simple question, I am just a click away.
Planning a wedding is no small task, it is so easy to get wrapped up in all of the details while planning your big day. Your wedding day should be a special time where families come together to celebrate the milestone of your marriage. After you say your "I do's", you will simply have your memories, gifts, and your photographs. It is so important to capture those moments so you can pass them on for generations to come.
All of my wedding packages are custom-tailored to meet your needs and requests. My goal is to bring value to all of my clients so they can see the investment that they make now, determines what you have to remember your wedding by in the future.

1 CONNECT
First and foremost, let's connect to ensure that I have your wedding day available. As my calendar for weddings fill up super fast, sometimes even 2-3 years in advance, I beg you not to wait on this first and crucial step. Once you reach out to me, I will be back in touch with you in less than 24 hours! This email will contain all sorts of great information in regard to your search for a photographer.
2 MEET
I love to meet with my potential couples beforehand to give you my background and tons of information for planning your wedding. We will meet over Zoom for about 30-45 minutes, this is not a sales call, simply informational.
3 SET IT IN STONE
This is my favorite part. This is where you decide that you love my work, my personality, and that you want me to be on a team "Bride & Groom" on your big day. In this step, we will take care of the retainer, and get you officially on the books. At this point, we also discuss your complimentary engagement session!
4 Engagement session
Since my Silver & Gold collections include an engagement session, after we have settled on a date and time, we get to work! This is where I guide and prompt you in a comfortable way to get the best photos. Galleries are delivered within 4-6 weeks after the session.
5 information galore
After your engagement session, you will be hearing from me regularly. I provide multiple emails throughout your journey to ensure that you have ample information to plan your day, your timeline, and to provide myself as a resource to answer any questions that you have.
6 The wedding
The last step, but this is what it is all about. It is your time to embrace the day, I mean...you are GETTING MARRIED! This is the most exciting part of the entire journey and it is always so much fun. During this time, the phrase "I got you" comes to mind. I am here/there to take care of you and capturing your love story.
Ok...You're ready to do this! Let’s connect today and get to work!
What does this mean? I will collect some basic contact information from you and we will schedule a Zoom call to go over your needs & wants. This is not a sales pitch, no-obligation, simply informational.
