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.

I really can’t say enough about how truly amazing Brandi is. She was with me from the start of my planning process to the end providing me with so much support and guidance. She was more than just a photographer. She is truly one of kind. From helping me coordinate a timeline, giving vendor suggestions, oh and not to mention helping me throw together a whole wedding in 72hours due to the Tennessee flooding. She is reliable and such a joy to work with. She made me feel so special. I just received our full album and let me tell you I am blown away. The quality of the photos are outstanding and I received so many!!! I am amazed at her attention to detail and ability to capture every special moment. I cannot recommend Brandi enough! She was such a blessing to work with and all around a wonderful photographer.

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

Hi, my name is Malia! I am a photographer based in Wilmington, NC. I specialize in Weddings, families and newborns. I have always been passionate about photography and I started when I was young with a little camera my mom got me from a thrift store and just grown from there. Since then, I have worked with other photographers and my mother who owns a wedding rental company so I know my way around weddings. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me exploring with my little family!

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was crucial, and Malia surpassed all expectations. From our initial “meeting” to receiving our stunning photos, every interaction was smooth and professional. Malia possesses an incredible talent for blending into the background while capturing the most beautiful and raw moments of our special day. Reviewing our wedding album felt like experiencing the entire event again; each photo perfectly conveyed the emotions and memories I felt on my special day. Her ability to capture candid moments discreetly is truly remarkable. Throughout the wedding and reception, I hardly noticed her presence, yet the photos she captured were nothing short of magical. Malia has an exceptional eye and mad dog editing skills! Although I hope to never marry again, I can confidently say that I would choose Malia for any future photography needs. If you're seeking a photographer who not only takes breathtaking photos but also understands the significance of capturing genuine moments, look no further than Malia. She will undoubtedly surpass your expectations and deliver timeless memories that you will cherish forever. Thank you Malia!!!

Hi! I’m the “Eric” part of Eric Donahue Photography. I am a father to three amazing and talented young adults (you may see them on the website or on the walls of our studio). I have a beautiful wife that is my partner and second set of eyes when I need them. Finally, I’m remarkably lucky to make a living doing what I truly love. Photography is my passion. Photos and images last for a very long time, maybe forever. I strive to make sure the images you share with the world make you look your absolute BEST. Let’s get started. What in the world are you waiting for?

Eric is AMAZING at what he does. When we hired him we were at a loss on photographers for our big day because of COVID. Once we went through everything, he told me that we were doing a bridal shoot before the wedding and I was SO nervous. But once I stepped into the studio Eric made me feel like an absolute queen. He let me pick my favorite picture to have on a canvas displayed at my reception and his work is absolutely stunning. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my big day and all of the incredible pictures he took bring me back to those moments every time. His talent is truly unmatched and he is the easiest and funniest person to work with. We would choose him time and time again!

What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James
