Hi, I'm Dennis, the photographer and filmmaker behind B4M Photography & Film, based in Redding, Northern California, and happy to travel. My style is warm, cinematic, and timeless: soft light, real emotion, and the in-between moments most people forget are happening. I want your gallery to feel the way your day actually felt. B4M is full-service, I shoot and film weddings of every size, from big celebrations to quiet elopements, and my partner Jess can write and officiate your ceremony, so it all lives under one roof. If that sounds like your kind of person, I'd love to hear your story.

The way B4MONDAY captured our wedding felt like a story, not just a collection of photos. Every image had emotion, movement, and meaning behind it. Dennis has such an artistic eye, but he still kept everything feeling natural and real. Our wedding gallery feels cinematic, romantic, and completely us.

He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze.

Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️

Every story is personal to me — I’m not just your photographer, I’m your teammate throughout the day.

Georgy Shishkin Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Georgy was incredibly organized and communicated with us well in advance, which helped keep everything running smoothly on the big day. Our venue didn't have the best cell service, so we weren't able to confirm some last-minute details before the wedding, but Georgy went above and beyond by showing up early and making sure we were all on the same page. His calm and committed demeanor put us at ease, and we never felt rushed or stressed. The quality of Georgy's work is truly exceptional. There wasn't a single bad photo in the hundreds he provided - he has an incredible eye for capturing candid, perfectly-timed moments, as well as the intricate details that made our day so special. Somehow, he managed to blend in seamlessly, never distracting from the flow of the celebration. The variety of angles and perspectives he captured was really impressive for a single photographer. Georgy's early arrival allowed him to get a feel for the venue, and that preparation is evident in the beautiful, cohesive set of photos we received. He kept his cool even when our timeline got a bit off track, never missing a beat. We are so honored to have had the chance to work with such a talented, patient, and professional photographer. These pictures are truly delightful and stunning - we will cherish them forever. My husband and I are thrilled with the results, and we can't recommend Georgy Shishkin Photography enough!
