Brendan Joel Photography

Short version: BOOK BRENDAN IMMEDIATELY!!! SERIOUSLY!!!Long version: When my husband & I were engaged November 2021, we were sure of 3 things immediately: where and when we wanted to get married, and that we wanted Brendan to photograph our wedding. Despite the pandemic changing many elements for our wedding, those 3 things still stayed intact, including thanking all of our lucky stars that Brendan was able to travel from Canada to North Carolina for our big day.I'm still totally speechless looking at all of the photos, but my husband & I could not be more grateful for how beautifully Brendan captured the whole day. From the start of the day to the very end of the night, Brendan captured every raw moment and delicate detail. His style is the perfect combination of giving you warm & moody while giving you dramatic emotion while giving you dreamy goodness. It's just... *chef's kiss.* You truly won't be disappointed by a single photo.Brendan, thank you from the bottom of our heckin' hearts for really capturing EVERY aspect of the day, especially really taking in to play the details of it all. From our crafted decor to our genuine moments, you really got it all. These photos are worth a billion bucks, and you are the bees knees. There is nobody else we could have imagined being there for us on such a special day.

Brendan was our photographer for our engagment photos, bridal shower, and wedding. Captured all the great moments beautifully and made us feel very comfortable throughout. Top notch work.

Brendan took the engagement and wedding photos of our dreams!! He was incredibly personable and professional! He was extremely understanding during these crazy times and was able to accommodate all the last minute changes. He Made having our photos taken so natural and fun. I highly recommend him for your family or wedding photos!

Brendan did an incredible job with our wedding photos. His style is unique- capturing candid photos with raw beauty which is exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend Brendan to anybody looking for a photographer, as we are blown away by his work!

My husband and I cannot express how amazing of a job Brendan did at capturing our engagement photos and our wedding day! We had a more out there theme (Lord of the Rings) and he was able to understand our vision and roll with it. He knew exactly what we were hoping for, and the aesthetic and mood he created in our photos are beyond words. We absolutely cannot wait to hang up some of our favourite photos from this day in our home. All of our friends and family cannot stop telling us how gorgeous our photos turned out and how they look like a page out of a fairytale. Brendan was an absolute pleasure to work with and have be a part of our big day. He was very professional, personable, kind, fun, and up for anything! He really listened to what we wanted and delivered magic. We could not recommend him enough to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer! Thank you so much for everything Brendan, we are so happy that we found you!

We were lucky enough to find Brendan on Instagram for our newborn session. He was AMAZING with our older 2 kids and took the most stunning photos of our family in the relaxed/candid style that I love.My only regret is not find him sooner for our other newborn photos and our wedding.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brendan for any of photography needs. 10/10 service, photos, professionalism, prices and personality.Thank you for the photos that we will cherish forever

Brendan is the absolute best! Highest recommendations! I had seen and loved some of the pictures he had taken for friends of ours so we booked a mini session of our own. Brendan has kids of his own so he understands how to photograph families which was much appreciated with little kiddos running around and sometimes pouty. He was patient, kind, and flexible. Would definitely do photos with him again and kicking myself that we didn’t sooner!

Brendan did an amazing job with our wedding pictures. He fit in seamlessly throughout the day and we could hardly tell he was there. When time came for family portraits he did an amazing job of making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We just got the teasers and are absolutely speechless at how beautiful they are.Amazing job

Brendan captured some family and engagement photos for us as well as our wedding photos. He was very responsive and open and his friendly and happy demeanour put us at ease in front of the camera (which is saying a lot because we are both very camera shy!) and made our wedding day comfortable and lots of fun! Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and he did a beautiful job putting together our wedding album. We will definitely be looking to Brendan for any more photo shoots down the road!
