WELCOME
I'm Brian. I'm here to do more than just take pretty pictures. From helping with timelines, wrangling your wedding party, scouting locations for photos, recommending vendors, to dabbing away last-minute spots with my always handy Shout wipes, I'm more than just your photographer. I’ve got your back, every step of the way. My photography style is all about authentic moments and real emotion, with you being fully present, and me capturing it all beautifully, from the tiny details to the big happy tears. Look around, ask anything, and let’s make sure you can truly enjoy your wedding day while I capture memories you will keep forever.

“Hiring Brian Adams was the best wedding planning decision we made! We cannot recommend Brian Adams highly enough! He exceeded every expectation and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. Throughout the whole process, he was incredibly responsive and professional, coordinating seamlessly with our venue and DJ. As introverts, we were nervous about being the center of attention, but he struck the perfect balance – capturing every important moment while giving us precious quiet time together. Neither of us had experience posing for professional photos, but his clear direction resulted in absolutely stunning images. He expertly directed our family and wedding party photos, keeping everyone organized while maintaining positive energy. ” - Erin, May 2025 bride
