I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

When we started wedding planning in late 2023 for our wedding in October 2024, I was seriously panicking thinking about all the different vendors we’d need to book. I knew we needed a photographer who was pretty flexible since we lived out of town from where we were planning the wedding, and that was Brandi to a T!! She was recommended by our wedding planner and I could not be more glad we chose her. She’s personable, kind, helpful, and an amazing photographer. She did our engagement shoot as well, and perfectly captured the spooky vibes we were going for and recommended the coolest photography venue to do them at. On the day of the wedding, she captured every moment so well with her second shooter, Valerie, and I’m so grateful to now have an entire album of beautiful wedding photos to look back on. She even sat down with my young nephew on the wedding day and let him take a few pictures with her camera. Just the sweetest person- I can’t recommend Brandi enough!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so incredibly thankful to have had such an amazing photographer for our civil wedding! Despite the short notice, she made herself available and handled everything with professionalism and grace. The day was cold, but she didn’t let that stop her from capturing every moment beautifully. Her ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera was incredible, and her sweet, kind demeanor made the whole experience even more special. One of the best parts was that she speaks Spanish, which was such a huge help for directing my family during group photos. It meant so much to have someone who could communicate so easily with everyone and make sure we got the perfect shots. Her editing skills are just as impressive as her photography! The final photos were absolutely stunning, and to top it all off, she delivered them in record time—just two weeks, even with Christmas and New Year’s holidays in between. We can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for a talented, thoughtful, and incredibly sweet photographer who goes above and beyond, she’s the one! Thank you, Soliana!

  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Columbia, SC

I love to capture those special moments that everyone will remember. I started out doing "street style" photos for a boutique in my local area and then ventured into wedding, engagement and family portraits.

Flitter and Flutter Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was on point and the customer service they provided went above and beyond the minimum requested. Both the posed and candid photos they captured were truly awesome - they have a keen eye for detail and a talent for bringing out the best in their subjects. I usually hate being in front of the camera, but the photographer made the experience enjoyable and even incorporated some of my own suggestions. I would highly recommend Flitter and Flutter Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photography team.

I was able to book Emilee at short notice, and found her to be efficient, professional, and very easy to work with. We came up with a shot list, but she had a good eye in terms of suggesting ways of capitalizing on the venue and working with the space in real time - her confidence in directing us made me feel comfortable and natural. Our pictures came out beautifully, in what I feel is record time compared to my peers’ experiences with photographers, and now have our happiest moments with friends and family captured for us to look back at in the future.

My husband and I were so grateful to be able to work with Jackson for our wedding day! He made the process so easy! I didn't have a lot of experience with weddings before my own, especially a backyard reception like the one I had, but Jackson was patient and kind and gave suggestions and recommendations all along the way. And all of our guests felt the same way about how patient and kind he was when they reflected afterwards! Throughout the process, he let us know exactly what to expect and captured all of the special moments! But beyond his professionalism and kindness, the quality of his work spoke volumes! The video came across like a movie trailer (this is what others have told me and I absolutely agree) and made our simple backyard wedding look like a grand affair! He captured the love, intimacy, and fun of that day, and I couldn't have asked for a better videographer! Thank you Jackson for making our wedding day even better, and I couldn't recommend him enough for your own wedding/party needs!
