Hi, I’m Brooke—a Southern California wedding photographer, wife, and mama. After photographing more than 300 weddings, what I love most is capturing the people and moments that make each one personal. My style blends sun-kissed portraits, timeless candids, and thoughtful details. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the moment deserves it, so you can spend less time worrying about the camera and more time enjoying your people. Serving Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara counties, I create photographs that help you remember not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt.

“Brooke Borough Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first consultation, Brooke and her team were thorough and warm in their communication, putting us at ease and giving us confidence that they would capture our special day beautifully. Brooke's work was truly stunning - the photos are high quality, vibrant, and captured all the special moments we wanted to remember. Brooke and her team also showed great empathy throughout our day -- it felt like I had a friend by my side. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Brooke Borough Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you.

My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We were thrilled to have Eli as our wedding photographer! His relaxed manner and constant smile made the whole experience enjoyable. Eli has a wonderful ability to focus on capturing natural interactions, steering clear of overly cheesy poses, which was exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding ceremony took place at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and with 60 of our closest friends and family in attendance, Eli documented the intimate atmosphere. One of the highlights of our experience was when he surprised me by showing up at my hair appointment unannounced. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and he managed to capture special moments with my family that I will cherish forever. His willingness to go above and beyond throughout the entire day truly impressed us! Eli's photography style is modern and simple, featuring clean lines and natural colors that beautifully reflect the essence of our wedding day. He even brought along a second photographer for the ceremony, which was fantastic! This ensured that every precious moment was documented from multiple angles, and we are so glad he did. We can’t wait to plan our next party so that Eli can be there to capture every special moment again. If you're looking for a dedicated and talented photographer who is genuinely passionate about his craft, we wholeheartedly recommend Eli! Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!”

We are Dustin and Courtney, best friends and photographers. Before we shot weddings together we were a bride and groom. Yep, dated and married in less than a year! We just knew we wanted to do life together. As time has gone by we learned much more important things about each other. For example, Dustin’s heart can easily be won over with a hot cup of coffee, surfing, chasing our kids and any action movie. Courtney's perfect day includes drinking a chai latte, going for a hike with the family and shopping.

“Dustin and his team were truly a delight to work with for my wedding! He is so kind, creative, attentive, profressional, positive, energetic and makes you feel at ease during your event. My husband does not like to take photos and he had nothing but great things to say about Dustin. And the pictures of course were amazing! Do not hesitate to book Dustin for your next event, you won't regret it!”

I had always been an Art student. And my love for photography evolved when I was a kid with my interest in the quality of the specific photo print laid out in the photo album. And that was the spark that ignited the curious flame that has since then not blown away. Since then I had been photographing! Firstly, with my Panasonic "point and shoot" camera during my childhood...Yes did I mention "point and shoot reel camera"?...Yes, I did. It was really fun photographing the bride very amateurishly but reflected good poses. ​

Adam Kent Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Ventura, CA

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Adam Kent Photography is the epitome of professionalism and creativity. Adam’s 20 years of capturing weddings speaks volumes. Before our big day he worked with us and provided amazing insights that helped us shape our day of schedule so that we could capture all the photos we wanted and make time for us to enjoy our celebration. He also did a portrait session with us prior to the wedding to provide posing instructions and get us comfortable on camera. On the day of our wedding Adam truly shined. His experience came through in every situation, from preparing us for our first look, getting our toddler guests to smile, organizing large group shots and spontaneously crafting intimate portraits throughout the evening. He always had a sense of calm, humor and cheerfulness that made what could be a stress-filled day fun and lively. When we received our wedding photos, we were stunned with how many amazing moments he had captured. Our guests also could not stop telling us how much they liked our photographer. In life you run into special people, and Adam is one of those. If you need a photographer for your wedding or any event, I strongly recommend you consider hiring Adam.”

“My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!”

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

“On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!”
