Photography By Brea

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

When I’m not photographing weddings, I am a rock climber, scuba diver, glass blower (#breablowsglass on instagram), ukulele, guitar, and guitarlele player, world traveler, and cat mom to Sherlock (sherlocknessmonster on instagram). During the winter, I teach a video class at the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts and I love having a positive impact on my students. Everything I love to do challenges me personally and makes me a stronger person. I feel the most alive when I feel connected to this beautiful planet and the people on it.

Brea and her team are absolute geniuses at what they do! Brea made us feel so comfortable during our most intimate photo shoots (engagement and first look), and was extremely efficient getting all of our family and friend photos together. The candids are the best part. Brea and her team have a way of capturing moments like no other wedding photographer I've ever seen. We are aboslultely in love with our wedding photos--and the best part--we received the full album less than a month after the wedding! Brea is extremely kind, professional, creative, and very good at what she does. We are so pleased to have had the chance to work with Brea!

Aimee will not only provide you with high quality photography, but will help make your day fun, fabulous and memorable. We had to change our wedding photographer at the last minute, and Aimee turned out to be the blessing around the corner. She is so comfortable to be around, helps you to be your authentic self in front of the camera and will also cut it up on the dance floor with you! After our wedding, we asked her to do our maternity photoshoot and our baby girl’s first birthday photos. We have all them on display in our home and will be asking her take photos of our lives for as long as she wants to be behind a camera. I can’t rate higher than 5 stars, but I would if I could. Please believe me when I say booking Aimee as your photographer will be the easiest part of your wedding planning, and all future photoshoots for life.

When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

(People were texting me days later that they’re sore from dancing the whole night!) He is able to read the crowd and deliver.

I would recommend NRBeauty Co. to any bride to be. Nina is incredibly attentive and communicative in addition to being transparent about her pricing. Andrea and Andejla were my glam team, and I absolutely loved their work, as did the rest of my bridal party. The makeup and hair lasted for at least 12 hours (likely more). NRBeauty Co. was by far the most professional team I communicated with. I appreciated the portal Nina managed which included all communications, invoices, and glam guides. My bridal party also appreciated the Google form they submitted in advance of the day to share their inspo & desired looks! Nina also confirmed when the glam team was en route the day of the wedding, which was highly appreciated given how stressful the morning-of can be. To top it all off, they ran on time / ahead of schedule the day of the wedding!

Kelsey Cuervo photography began out of a love of art and a proclivity to create, and evolved into a passion for capturing genuine connection in an artful way. I approach my clients with a desire to capture their genuine connection using their love story as my source of inspiration.

There is nobody we would have rather had with us throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Judging from her other work, we knew that we would be getting a stunning final product, but what you can't see in her pictures online is how friendly she is, how comfortable she makes you feel behind the camera (I was particularly nervous our first go around for the engagement shoot), and how well she directs and manages people to create her magic. Now for the product! My wife and I sat down together when Kelsey sent us the final photos and it genuinely took us back to our wedding day. She captured both the emotion and the beauty of it all so well, and we now have these pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have her as our photographer and friend.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Hi future bride! I'm Joyce,Twenty six years old,Mom of Irish twins (born ten months apart!) and wife to my amazing husband Joel.Currently living in Las Vegas,NV but hoping to end up in the state of MD in the future! Growing up,I was known as the girl that was constantly taking pictures of everything,I've had this intense love for photography for as long as I can remember,I still have the first photo I took on my old nokia phone that really made me believe I could do something special with this passion.

Joyce Elly not only is incredibly talented and her work is absolutely gorgeous, but she is also an absolute joy to work with! She is calm and collected, but is assertive enough to get the job done. You are in great hands for any event or milestone she is photographing for you!

As a DJ, I was able to work with Kanei for a wedding on 10/19/24. Kanei is a true professional and I would love to be able to work with a planner of her caliber at each and every wedding! We were on the same page from start to finish! It was a joy working with someone who truly knows what they are doing!

As a fellow wedding vendor (florist), I've worked with Jennifer at Fete du Jour a handful of times. She is one of my absolute favorite wedding planners to work with! Jennifer is responsive, transparent, honest, professional, experienced, and best of all... so nice! She is calm and collected and can handle any situation with grace. You will be in good hands with Fete du Jour -- and so glad that you hired Jennifer!
