About Brandon Pickett Photography

Brandon Pickett

Owner/Photographer

I'm a documentary wedding photographer based in Charlotte, NC. I want my couples to spend their wedding day being present with the ones they love, not constantly performing for the camera. I photograph people as they actually are—with an observant, documentary approach.

I photograph weddings in a true documentary style. I spend about 20 minutes doing formal group shots, but the rest of the day I'm observing and documenting the day. Focusing on light, timing, composition and emotion.

    I reached out to Brandon, needing newborn photos ASAP. He responded quickly and was willing to move around his schedule to meet my needs. My wife and I are very glad he did because we absolutely love the photos he got of our boy. Baby's are hard to photograph when they are fussy, but Brandon was patient and had great ideas for poses for the photographs. I would recommend Brandon if you want authentic photographs for any occasion.

    Brandon is an excellent photographer! We hired him for our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out for both jobs. I was first drawn to his work on IG because his photos looked so candid and genuine. And now, having received the photos he took for our nuptials, I can confidently say that’s how he captured our day. There were several instances in which we didn’t even realize he was photographing us/other guests, this resulted in photos that had an unposed, refreshingly authentic feel.

    Had a great experience working with Brandon for our engagement proposal. He was professional, on time for everything, and did an amazing job capturing the moment naturally. The turnaround time for getting our photos back was also very reasonable, which we really appreciated. We’re so happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend him to others!

    Brandon was amazing to work with! He blended in so naturally throughout the day that we barely even noticed he was there, which made everything feel so comfortable and genuine. Our photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. We’re so grateful and highly recommend him!

    Thank you so much, Sara! It was a pleasure working with you and William. Wish you guys all the best!


I do offer highlight video coverage. This is short 3-6 second clips through out the day edited together to tell a story with music.(no audio)
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a personal online gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints. I do offer rush turnaround for $600. This puts you in front of the line for editing and cuts the time down to 5-7 days.
You can expect about 40-60 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. I focus on quality over quantity. I do this by intentionally taking photos, instead of bursting photos all day. This means your photos will have more emotion, story and intentionality.
Typically, couples book me about 8-12months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Most weddings I can cover by myself to keep your cost down.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.
