“DJ Motiv was extraordinary. I was so impressed by his professionalism, communication, and willingness to make sure our night was perfect. I was skeptical at first with some reviews mentioning that the DJ’s weren’t playing the songs they chose. I immediately reached out and that was informed that it would not be an issue. ALL of our chosen music was played, with some song requests of guests (with bride’s approval, per DJ motiv - loved that). DJ Motiv checked in with us constantly, even to make sure our food was at our table, if we needed drinks, if the music was going well, and if there was anything he could do. He was going above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. I even threw in special requests during my wedding, including him stopping my parent dance half way (on purpose) as if the music turned off, to take the mic and give a short speech. He did it phenomenally. I had a game request, with him being the commentator and director of, and he took that role and ran with it. The wedding guests LOVED him. I have nothing negative to say about his services. Even the photobooth was done great! I also had a custom sign made, with our new last name, and it was perfect! Such a great item to be able keep, and you get a year warranty on it. Anyway, I highly recommend this DJ!! He MADE our wedding perfect. Everyone loved him.”

Hey, I'm Bri, a wedding and couples photographer based in Wilmington, NC, shooting all over the East Coast and beyond. I work in digital and film, mixing in 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 depending on your day. I'm not chasing posed shots. I'm after the real moments, the ones that happen in between, because that's where the honest emotion lives. My own wedding taught me exactly what I didn't want in a photographer, and it's shaped how I show up for every couple since. I pay attention, stay close but out of the way, and I'd love to hear about your day.

“I hope at the end of reading this review, your heart is beaming with joy and excitement knowing that this is THE person who can capture those special moments you want to look back on years down the road. Long story short - CA girl moves to OH. My love and I created a home. Bri is now family. I knew all I had to do was have an Americano ready and outfits laid out. In seconds we were laughing and rollin. Bri captured the warm light that pours through the blinds of our big loft windows so magically. Her energy is genuine and calming. I loved that her style was more candid and authentic than structured because as Austin and I sipped coffee, danced around and loved each other, she was capturing those moments most dream about – the butterfly smiles, the gestures sometimes you think only you two notice, the kisses given that make your heart full. What I didn't truly realize, was how important it is to have photographer that makes you feel comfortable. This is a person seeing the most intimate, important moments of your life and I couldn't imagine anyone else being behind the lens capturing those other than Bri. I feel so fortunate to share some big life moments with Bri and can't recommend her enough. We love her and know you will too!!”

We came to them 1 month before our wedding day and they were happy to take us under their wing so last minute :) They were responsive, easy to work with, and great at communicating. They adjusted certain items to fit within our budget, while still maintaining the vision we had in mind! I cannot recommend them enough. I was quite literally brought to tears on my wedding day when I saw what they had brought to life. It was beyond what I could have ever imagined and I am SO happy we found them when we did! The florals they created were beautiful, and I still have guests inquiring about who my florist was! They provided us with bridal/bridesmaids bouquets, table arrangements, bar arrangements, floating candles, and an arbor that was the most STUNNING backdrop for our ceremony. They provided helpful tips and suggestions to implement other elements into our design and I am so happy they did! We ended up incorporating fruits into some of our tables schemes and it was SO CUTE. The colors blended perfectly with our vision and venue. The two of them have immense talent and I feel so lucky that they were available on our wedding day. The whole day was brought together by the design/florals they put together and it made my wedding more perfect than I could have wished for! Thank you so much :)”

“I would recommend working with Keirsten to anyone! She made the whole process so easy from start to finish and was easily accessible for any and every question. Not only is her work and creativity incredible, but she is so kind and genuine and makes the whole photoshoot laid back and comfortable. For someone who is camera shy, I had a blast! The confidence she instills and the photos she creates is worth every penny and then some!”
