Briana Marie Photography

Because we live in Southern California and getting married in Sonoma, we had to seek our photographer without meeting him/her in person until the day of our wedding at the winery. We found Briana through Project Wedding, and connected with her demeanor immediately! She was extremely easy to work with, very accessible, and was exactly the type of photographer we were seeking for our wedding day- laid-back and fun to be around! More importantly, Briana made everything we requested work- including an impromptu session in the winery's boxing ring and one including their resident ceramic cow.

We just received our pictures, and have gotten huge compliments from everyone about the quality of the images, and most especially around her ability to capture our personalities and the feel of the day. I am extremely pleased to have a body of work that shows the laughter and fun we had on one of the most important days of our lives, and would absolutely recommend Briana in a heartbeat!!

My husband and I are so thrilled we found Brian to capture the moments of our special day! They say the day goes so fast and you miss so much. Thanks to Briana and her assistant, Jennifer’s wonderful talents, our day will live on forever. We can see many of the things we missed, and our friends and family that couldn't attend can feel like they were there with us. I already have way too many favorites picked out. I am still beaming, and her pictures keep making smile and cry all over again.

My husband usually doesn't smile in pictures, but Briana made him feel so comfortable in our engagement photo session, that he smiled away. By the time our wedding day came, I think he smiled almost as much as I did. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about our engagement and wedding pictures either!

You truly will love Briana!

I can't say enough about Briana - she is an amazing individual and her work is outstanding. My husband and I both love photographer so we were a little picky on who we wanted to use. Brianna captured everything we wanted and more. There were one or two moments she caught with the sunsetting - those alone were worth everything.

Briana did an amazing job of capturing the emotions of the day - everything from the standard family photos but also those little moments in the ceremony, during the party etc. She knew the venue, knew the best places for shots and just kept snapping and getting incredible images.

From the brides point of view she is the easiest vendor and best vendor I have worked with. She was quick to respond to any questions, was always on time when we met, and the day of the wedding she was amazing. All my friends said make sure you personally like the photographer since they will be following you around all day. Having Briana around felt like having an old friend with you. She was so easy to be with, was not intrusive and was just plain fun to have around. Even when I was freaking out that my hair dresser was 45 minutes late Briana kept the mood light, was smiling and kept us busy with a few photo's until the hair dresser got there. I think the best compliment I could say is that some of our guests asked if we even had a photographer. To me this is a high compliment. It meant our guests weren't blinded by flashbulbs since Briana knew how to handle the lighting (lots of candle lights so not easy), that also meant we got candid moments.

Needless to say we were blown away with the photo's when we got them - we even got them earlier then expected !!! We had so much fun looking through them again and again. They have brought many smiles to our family.

I could keep going on and on. Briana is amazing to work with! I highly recommend working with Briana - you'll love working with her and most importantly you'll love the work she produces for you!

Briana's style and expertise are hands down the best in Napa Valley for weddings and events. You hardly notice she is there. She has captured my children and events I have hosted in timeless photographs that speak countless words to me. She is a pleasure to work with, very professional and is Napa Valley's best kept secret. One look at her book and you will see...

Briana is definitely one of a kind…we are so happy we were referred to her. Anyone who checks out her website can see she has a fantastic eye but it becomes so much more real when you are looking at photos of yourself and loved ones…she makes everyone look like a model!! We first met Briana when she shot our engagement photos last summer…from the moment we met her we knew we wanted her to shoot our wedding but when we got our engagement photos we were convinced…the photos were AMAZING.

Briana is so easy to work with, after a few moments you forget she is there and that is when the true moments are captured. On our wedding day we had the honor of meeting her husband who worked with her for the day….we had so much fun with them at Crissy Field and this joy can be seen in our photos. They work so well together with this ability to go unnoticed but their photos certainly get notice.

Here are a few comments we have received since showing our photos to friends, how better to describe her ability…
“Love the photographs she really captured the best parts of the day in such a natural way”
“OMG!!! Fantastic!! What more can I say. Love, love, love them”
WOW they are gorgeous some really fab pictures!! She's the best ever!!
“They are the most fabulous wedding photos I have ever seen”

Briana professionalism and enthusiasm for her work does not overshadowed her kindness…she is amazing person and I know she will see us in the future!! Our photos are something we will treasure forever. Thank you

The pictures are SUPERB!!! They turned out beautifully, and we are SO HAPPY and feel so blessed to have found you!! Your words on your blog were so kind...and you are right -- so many great pictures to choose from, thanks to you! We are so excited....

We just can't thank you enough. The pictures are phenomenal and we are thrilled!

"Wow. The photos turned out just beautiful. I'm loving your artistic eye...you captured way more than we could have wished for and will enjoy these photos for a lifetime. It has been such a pleasure working with you, getting to know you and witnessing you work! Thank you!"

"I am so impressed Briana. We got our pictures today... they are beautiful! You are so talented! Thanks for all of your hard work. You are so creative!!"

Briana Marie is an amazing photographer! I've had the pleasure of working with dozens of wedding photographers, and Briana is one of my favorites. Most recently we worked together on an intimate wedding in the Wine Country. The couple was from out of the country, and Briana was responsive, flexible and patient with big time differences! On the wedding day she is efficient, creative and calm, qualities I appreciate because it makes the day even better for the bride, groom, and their guests.

Once you see Briana's beautiful and artistic photos you will definitely want to work with her, and I highly recommend it!

The Eloquence String Quartet would like to recommend Briana Marie Photography. Her wedding portraits are some of the most beautiful we have seen. We asked Briana to do the promo photos for the quartet and enjoyed working with her. She was friendly and easy to work with and managed to get all four of us to look good in the same picture. We were very happy with the results.
