Wedding & Portrait Photographer based in san antonio
serving south texas and beyond
Hey, I'm Brandi!
Seeing a cotton candy sunset or the love in a couple's eyes makes my heart skip.
I believe I have always been an artist, but always heard growing up that to dream too big might lead me to be a "starving artist."
I spent years working jobs I thought I was "supposed to."
Now, I am overjoyed to do what I love.
My typical days are spent with coffee by morning, editing by afternoon, talking 2nd grade drama with my beautiful 8 year old daughter after school and hitting the gym somewhere in between.
I'm always on the go!
I seek out quaint coffee shops where I can work and be productive all morning and a good movie snuggled on the couch at night while I edit beautiful galleries.
Find me at a museum, zoo or aquarium when my daughter chooses the day's activities.
Find me cooking or eating at a good Mediterranean restaurant if my son is by my side.
When I get the chance to see and to these things in another country, I'm on my way!
I can't wait to meet you!
Message me if you want me to help you to make a memory! I would love to be considered to photograph your moments!

I love to travel.
I have been to 35 states and 14 countries.
Every 6 months i get the itch to explore a new culture and learn about people.
I feel that part of my purpose is to see the world and experience as much of it as possible.
So far, one of my favorite cities has been Marrakesh, Morocco. What a dream!
I was so excited to visit Morocco for my 40th birthday, I booked a photographer to take me all over the city and it was the absolute best decision.
If you are eloping or want a session at a great destination- TAKE ME WITH YOU!

I love to workout, eat healthy foods and I prioritize a balanced lifestyle.
I love trying teas and coffees from around the world.
I enjoy cooking new meals, most of the time middle-eastern or Mediterranean dishes.
If you follow my instagram, my stories are often full of new recipes I am trying at home or during my travels.
I like to cook Kabsa, Mansaf and Kunafa.
I love Turkish food, Lebanese food and Syrian food.
If you are a restaurant or business owner, let me know if I can help with your food photography, too!

My absolute favorite place is by a body of water; a lake, a river or the beach... I live for this!
I grew up going to Texas beaches and they are like my 2nd home, but I also love the Kite Beach in Dubai, Jeddah views of the Red Sea, and Sarasota, Florida to name a few of my favorite beach spots!
Going to the beach and need photos?
TAKE ME WITH YOU!

COAST RICA
I love any excuse to get dolled up and go somewhere fun on the weekend.
My grandma was born and raised in Germany, so before she passed away, she LOVED going to Fredericksburg and New Braunfels.
I have so many fond memories in the small towns.
Fredericksburg and New Braunfels are the German Capitol's of Texas and both are reminiscent of my Grandma. They are also precious places to have a meal or take some lovely photos.

kayaking everywhere!
I grew up in Castroville, Texas playing on the Medina River.
High School summers were spent driving out to the river and jumping off of the cliffs all day.
Some weekends my dad took me camping at Garner State Park.
The Frio River is where I swam with family and where I went to summer camp at Alto Frio.
By the time I was buying my first house, I found one on the Medina River in Bandera, Texas. That's where I bought my first Kayak.
I have kayaked in the Galapagos Islands, Key West Mangrove Mazes, around Vancouver Island and all around Texas.
I moved to the city for the first time in 2021 and I absolutely love the city, but now I find kayaking opportunities on my vacations.

DESTINATION wedding
3 years ago I had moved to a new town & was looking for a photographer.
Naturally, I Googled & Brandi was on the list of a few that popped up.
The moment she answered the phone & we started chatting, I knew I loved her!
She was so passionate about her trade & engaging about every question/concern I had & always had an answer or solution.
Brandi was willing to help any way she could & completely understood my vision & vibe. Fast forward 3 years later & she has now done 3 AMAZING sessions for me with the most recent being my destination wedding.
Always on time, always professional, & always available for questions during the process from start to finish. Brandi does amazing quality prints & is very set on producing your order exactly how you envision! I would recommend her 1,000 times over & over!!
With one phone call I not only gained a lifetime photographer but a lifetime friend!!

I chose her because of her artistic vision.
It goes far beyond your typical wedding photography!

Brandi is an incredible photographer. Her products and her pictures are something you wont find anywhere else and are for people looking for life long lasting photographs that you will cherish for decades to come.
She starts with a meeting where she goes over her business model and goes over what the client can expect, this really allows a bond before the photography session and it made it feel even more natural.
Taking my senior pictures with her she made me feel very comfortable and natural. She guided the way while retaining individuality and sincerity and when the reveal came I was absolutely astounded at the moments she had captured. I can confidently say that everyone needs this photographer if you're looking for the absolute highest quality and beautiful pictures and products.
LOVE HER

Kind Words from clients
After getting engaged last year, I immediately went on the hunt for someone whose photos were warm, romantic and captured our personalities.
Brandi’s instagram bio says “if a photo was the color and feeling of a glass of whiskey” and that immediately hooked me! She absolutely nailed our engagement shoot and we’re looking forward to her capturing our wedding and eventually maternity/family shoots when we start our family.
She’s super fun and personable, she’s one of those people you meet and feel like you already know her. Plus, she was able to get my camera-shy fiancé out of his shell within minutes.
We got nearly a dozen “sneak-peak” photos by the next day and ordering prints through her is beyond easy. I will never use another photographer for anything. Ever.

I have used Brandi's services on seven different occasions, so far, and I have not been disappointed.
Brandi is talented with a great eye for detail. She knows how to get my two year old to smile and look like a pleasant child.
I've always been unsure of how to pose for photos, and Brandi is really great with guiding me through it to make every photo come out so spectacular.
I will continue to use her services, and I highly recommend her.

I can't express how grateful I am to have found Brandi, thank you Instagram!
The scheduling process was easy, the shoot was nerve wrecking for me, I was stressed, nervous & most of embarrassed- out of my element.
As soon as I met Brandi at our location she was so welcoming & sweet.
She encouraged and gave me motivation & for God Sake, my photos are amazing!
If you're in the market for photographer Brandi is your Gal!
