Brett Buchanan Photography

Brett is an incredible photographer and an incredible guy. He was extremely responsive and flexible when we were constantly making last-minute changes to the photography package we got from him and he was 100% professional before, during, and after the wedding. I highly recommend!

We only wish there were 10 stars to give Brett! From the first meeting, Brett was professional, informative and extremely responsive to questions or concerns. In the craziness of the week before the wedding, he initiated contact, which was greatly appreciated. With so many details to keep track of, having him check in with me was reassuring and a nice relief. He was exactly on time on our wedding day and ready for action. I was concerned at first about how I would feel with a camera there in the intimate moments. That's of course what we love about his photojournalist style, but the idea of a camera following you about all day was a little worrisome. How wrong was I! Brett made everyone feel so comfortable. No one held back any emotion, afraid that they might get caught on camera. Brett had this wonderful way of being present and being invisible at the same time. If there was a photo I knew I wanted him to get, he was there in a second's notice. He was also great about getting the more posed photos that family requested, and had a way of making them feel less stuffy. Get ready though! One can't be too vain when going with this style of photography...Brett captures it all! The double-chinned smiles, the funky, hilarious moves on the dance floor. But that was what made our photography so incredible. seeing the photos truly was like reliving our day, which was worth every penny!

Brett was wonderful to work with. I thought that his prices were appropriate and the final product was amazing. He captured my wedding perfectly. Not only was he professional, but many of my wedding guests commented about how he was not invasive at all. I would definitely reccommend him to anyone needing wedding photography.

Brett is an excellent photographer and one that every bride should consider having by her side on her special day. We were extremely picky about our photography choice and Brett's images are exactly what we were looking for. We had a traditional Indian wedding and at first were slightly apprehensive about picking a photographer that had not shot an Indian wedding before. However, that was well put to rest after meeting Brett, and definitely wasn't an issue after we saw his amazing pictures! Brett is patient and calm - just what a bride needs on her crazy day! He's also able to take a lot of great shots without being intrusive of wedding festivities. He also made quite the impression with our guests! His pictures really captured the essence of the Indian wedding, the sentiments expressed by our guests, the energy in the room, and the craziness on the dancefloor! There's not a shot that he missed and I can't stop staring at the amazing images that document our very special weekend. He's also incredibly fast - we got our images within a week! You will definitely not be disappointed if you pick him. He will do a stellar job, I'm sure of it!

Brett was great. His pictures were natural, candid, and beautiful. He was professional and captured our wedding perfectly. I could not have asked for anything more. He did a few posed shots and they came out great (not anything cheesy). Oh and we flew him to our location (Costa Rica).

Brett Buchanan is awesome, plain and simple. He handled our wedding in Costa Rica with the highest amount of flexibility, grace and professionalism. Our wedding was broken out into many separate events across many venues and locations, all of which he navigated superbly and never missed an opportunity. As a one-man show, he was like God with his "everywhere at once" presence, always capturing the stuff that mattered. Brett exhibits intense creativity the way he frames out the shots and artistically brings various subjects in and out of focus. His images were sharp, vibrant and tasteful. Also, his editing is superb ... the great majority of the images he captured were keepers. We recommend Brett Buchanan without the slightest bit of reservation.

talented, professional, friendly. captured the day beautifully, artistically. thank you!!

Brett is amazing to work with. He brings a sense of confidence to the wedding where you know you can relax because you are in good hands. He also pays close attention to details and photographs things you might have missed. With that he also takes direction very well so even if you want to be silly he makes you feel relaxed. I had a blast having Brett as my photographer and I loved the way the pictures came out (and I'm very picky)!

Brett is amazingly talented - he was very unobtrusive, and at the same time managed to get shots that captured both the formality and the emotions of the day. When we looked over the photos together for the first time, my husband and I laughed, cried and felt the awe of our wedding day all over again. I would highly recommend Brett to anyone for their wedding.

Couldn't be happier!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! Brett was very professional and helpful right from the beginning. He was the first photographer we spoke with, and we liked him so much that we didn't need to talk with anyone else. Brett photographed every aspect of our wedding day, starting at the salon. He was super easy going, and by the end of the night it felt like he was one of our friends that we invited to the wedding. He took tons of really wonderful pictures, and was always willing to take any photos we requested. We would definitely recommend Brett as photographer. He is fabulous!!

He was there for us all day, we rarely ever saw him or Sharon, though. The photos came out so beautifully. They were everywhere, always and not noticeable. We are so pleased with it all.

Absolutely positive experience all the way around. We're so thrilled with the images. And with Brett's approach, professionalism, friendliness, etc!

Did a great job!

I am a passinate amateur photographer myself and took some time researching several photographer. At the end I was really impressed with the result delivered by Brett Buchanan. Beyond the quality of hos photos he excelled at capturing the essence and spirit of a nn-traditional wedding. While maintaining the spirit of wedding photography (preparation, focus on the venue, ceremony, etc.) he succesfully combined it with a touch of photojournalism and creativity making the result truly unique...

Brett did an amazing job of documenting our wedding!I was initially impressed by his style and variety of work.And was so glad to see that approach brought to my wedding!Truly a unique perspective and a fun guy to work with.

Brett is a fantastic photographer. Check this out. www.purcell.brettbuchanan.comNot only is Brett a charismatic and intelligent person I enjoyed working with but he is a truly gifted photographer who has an act for catching the way a wedding feels and not just the way it looks.We decided to go with a cheap videographer and I can tell you that Brett's photos are all I care about and the video makes the wedding look boring. I guess it could have been boring but Brett's photos made it look magical the way it felt. I'm sure my wife would be able to articulate it better than I if you need more info.I also appreciated how Brett handled the business side of contracts and such and I never felt like I was being taken advantage of. He was a straight shooter from the beginning and that's hard to find. I felt like he was a wedding guest as well as my photographer. Five out of Five stars for Mr. Buchanan.Jeff Blackburn

Brett was our photographer this past April, and I can't say enough good things about him! The reason I chose him to begin with is that I liked his style - he's got a great photojournalistic/documentary style. He did get the posed family pictures like I requested, but he also got the shots that I never would have seen. And from such great angles - it was art! I researched my vendors like crazy before I booked, and I rely alot on my gut feeling. Brett was so great at accommodating any requests I had - I even sent him a list beforehand of sample shots I wanted so we would be on the same page. One of my best friends and my sister-in-law both spent way more than I did on their wedding photographs and everyone who has seen my wedding pictures (including those two) have raved at how good they turned out! My advice - invest in a good photographer because the day will be a blur and you'll use the photos to catch up on everything you missed!! haha And I'm not rich either - I had a budget to stick to because my husband and I were paying for it, but I made the centerpieces myself, cut back on some flowers, bought the tablecloths from Sams (which was cheaper than even renting them!) and got a great deal on a custom-made dress. But you've gotta decide what is most important to you and make a list going down to what is least important and budget that way. It was very important to me to have Brett as our photographer. Anyway, hope I didn't ramble too long! I'm sure you've checked out his website - it's awesome! ~Amy Kelly

I could not ask for a better photography with a greater price. Brett charges (or he at least charged) a flat $2000 and this included unlimited hours of pictures... I could not find anybody else who would do this! Unlimited hours! He arrived hours before the ceremony and stayed until the last guest left.. or so I heard. He took incredible pictures, very artistic and unique. He has an eye for beauty in sweet places. And he's a great, dependable, sweet guy! Very easy to work with. Very personable. Would recommend to anyone!

Brett was simply fantastic. We felt immediately at ease with him as soon as we met. On the day of the wedding, he arrived before me to the ceremony site, and captured all the moments from chair-set up up through after our departure, but at no point did either he or his assistant ever feel intrusive or in the way. They were friendly yet completely professional and incredibly hard-working. We got so many compliments on his photography - the angles, the colors, the energy. And this may seem like a small point, but his website (which you'll use a lot to look at the proofs) is so easy, clean-lined, and intuitive to use. I recommend him *highly*.
