THE APPROACH
AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER MY APPROACH TO PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR WEDDING CELEBRATION ENCOURAGES YOU TO LIVE EVERY MOMENT TO IT'S FULLEST. I WILL NOT INTERRUPT REAL MEMORIES FROM BEING MADE FOR THE SAKE OF A COOKIE CUTTER PHOTO AND STRONGLY FEEL YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY WILL NOT BE THE PLANNED OR POSED IMAGES. THIS DOCUMENTARY STYLE APPROACH STEMS FROM MY LOVE FOR LOOKING THROUGH OLD PHOTO ALBUMS MY MOM HAS CURATED. THE IMAGES THAT ALWAYS SPEAK THE MOST TO ME AND BRING ME BACK IN TIME ARE THE PHOTOS THAT ARE UNPOSED. WITH THAT BEING SAID I STILL VALUE THE EXPERTLY CRAFTED POSED EDITORIAL PHOTO. I WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING DEDICATED PORTRAIT TIMES BY GIVING GENTLE DIRECTION SO THE VIBES CAN KEEP FLOWING. YOU AND YOUR PARTY WILL NEVER FEEL AS IF YOU'VE BEEN HELD HOSTAGE FOR PORTRAITS AND THATS A GUARANTEE. ABOVE EVERYTHING I AIM TO BUILD A GENUINE CONNECTION WITH YOU IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO YOUR WEDDING DAY. NOT ONLY DOES THIS ALLOW FOR ME TO CREATE A CALM, FUN AND HELPFUL ATMOSPHERE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS ME TO CAPTURE YOUR DAY MOST AUTHENTICALLY TO YOU AS A COUPLE.

AN EXCLUSIVE
CLIENT EXPERIENCE...
I know how overwhelming planning a wedding can be that's why I partnered with Vance Taylor Designs, A Destination Wedding Planning company to curate & elevate my client's experience. All of my clients receive a 12 Month Wedding Planning Checklist specifically designed for the modern bride (so yes, wedding planning help that's actually up to date!) as well as various check in emails from 12+ months out up until the week of your wedding.
These check in emails each contain a mini checklist as well as a guide that correlates to those tasks filled with tips and exclusive insider knowledge.
So whether you hired a planner or are doing it all yourself this is sure to level up your experience by easing your stresses.
Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience and I want you to know your experience matters to me
" I CANNOT RECOMMEND
THE UNFILTERED COLLECTIVE ENOUGH."
"Not only most importantly were our photos amazing and the perfect balance of edited to natural feeling, but she was also great to work with. We got SO MANY photos back from start to finish of our day, not a single moment was missed. The preview was received so quickly, taking a moment to look through our wedding photos together on the honeymoon just days after the wedding while still buzzing about our day was one of my favorite moments of the honeymoon, all thanks to Brianna's quick turnaround time on the preview. Not only did myself and my now husband love her, but all of our party members and family were full of compliments for our photographer specifically. Everyone complemented that they "did not even know she was there" she never was overbearing or inserting herself in the room, she was sneakily in the background and somehow got everything captured without disruption. As we looked through photos we could not stop saying "I didn't even see her take this" and "When did she take this", which was one of my favorite things about Brianna and our photos. We also got arsty detail shots she captured without anyone noticing as well, which was something I thought I didn't need from our day in comparison to people shots, but ended up getting some detail shots printed and framed I loved them so much. One of my bridesmaids forwarded me one of the photos saying it looked like it belonged on a magazine cover and I had to agree, such a huge compliment to a wedding photographer. Lastly, Brianna asked if any specific photos were important to us and you could really tell she went out of her way to capture those. Only amazing things to say about working with The Unfiltered Collective."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO YOU TRAVEL?
YES! TRAVEL DATES ARE LIMITED BUT I WILL GO WHEREVER YOUR DREAM WEDDING TAKES YOU.
WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
YOU'LL HAVE A PREVIEW GALLERY OF 200 PHOTOS WITHIN 7 DAYS OF YOUR WEDDING AND YOUR FINISHED GALLERY WITHIN 90 DAYS. I ONLY TAKE ON 1-2 WEDDINGS A MONTH TO GIVE EACH CLIENT AN EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE & THE PROPER ATTENTION THEY DESERVE WHICH ALSO ALLOWS FOR EXPEDITED TURNAROUND TIMES.
WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK?
I'D RECOMMEND SECURING YOUR DREAM VENDORS ONCE YOU HAVE A DATE & VENUE BOOKED. MY 2025 BOOKS ARE OPEN AND I AM ACCEPTING 10 WEDDINGS FOR THE YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY ONCE A DATE IS BOOKED I ALSO DO NOT BOOK ADDITIONAL WEDDINGS THAT SAME WEEK/WEEKEND SO AVAILABILITY TENDS TO SHRINK QUICKLY.
"Brianna is not only an expert photographer, but also a professional who is there to support her clients throughout the entire process.
Her quick turnaround time for delivering our final photos exceeded our expectations. Within a few short weeks, we had a beautiful collection of memories to cherish forever.
The photos are absolutely stunning and portray the emotion and the story of our wedding day.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also easy to work with, look no further than The Unfiltered Collective. Her easy-going nature made the entire process stress-free and fun.
Brianna also took the time to write a beautiful blog that described our wedding day and included many photos to explain the story she helped create.
She also does an impressive job at ensuring her work is backed up and safe, which is something very important to look for in a photographer.
We are so appreciative to Brianna and would recommend her to all!"
