HI, I'M BRAD

Hailing from a quaint town reminiscent of Mayberry, where family and friends reign supreme, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for both.  Raised amidst the serene countryside, I learned the values of hard work and commitment. My journey with photography began at the tender age of 12, and I've been hooked ever since.

Often described as a "loud introvert," (you'll understand once we meet). I thrive on human connections and cherishing moments spent with loved ones. My professional journey started as a photographer for my family's clothing business, a role I held for almost 15 years. Then in 2017, I ventured into the realm of wedding storytelling, a passion that now consumes most of my days alongside my amazing wife, Jennifer.
