Brett was absolutely AMAZING on my wedding day. He was very creative with the variety of shots he took. He also seemed to be everywhere! He was always in the background no matter where we were on the dance floor and was able to capture the most candid and entertaining action shots. He was able to capture so many “little moments” that we had with each other, as well as our family and friends throughout my entire wedding day. It was so fun to look back on the wide variety of pictures that were taken! Brett is an amazing professional, and we were MORE than pleased with his work. A friend referred Brett to us, and he far exceeded any expectations we had. We’ve also referred him to our friends, who will be utilizing his services at their wedding in June, 2010! A great quote from one of our guests was that Brett was “like paparazzi…he is somehow able to be everywhere & never miss a shot”! I recommend Brett to anyone, and I would challenge you to find someone better. He offers the best deal and high-quality work of anyone I’ve seen.Thank you Brett!Kristin & Bill Kavanaugh




I had the PLEASURE of working with Brett at my best friend's wedding. Being a makeup artist and former media producer, I truly appreciated the talent and professionalism that Brett brought to the table. I would absolutely recommend him to ANYONE wanting top notch service and results.
Not only was Brett a pleasure to work with in person, but the final product was second to none. The photos that my dear friends received were absolutely breath-taking. Brett captured their personalities perfectly and paired them with his gorgeous shot compositions.
He gets an A+ in my book!

WE USED BRETT FOR OUR WEDDING LAST YEAR. IT WAS A SECOND MARRIAGE FOR BOTH OF US. HE CAPTURED NOT ONLY OUR HAPPINESS THAT DAY BUT ALSO THE HAPPINESS ON THE FACES OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE TRULY IS AN ARTIST,YOU WILL SEE HIS YEARS OF EXPIERENCE IN JUST ONE OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHS.BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU! ROSEANN PUCCIARELLI




Brett travelled to Maine for my wedding this summer and was nothing short of AMAZING - snapping photos for 3 days (rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and day after shoot), not to mention it was like 100 degrees which didn't stop Brett one bit. He did not miss a single minute of our day, and we got thousands of pictures very shortly after the big day. I have friends and family members get engaged since our wedding who have asked for Brett's contact info - he made such a great impression on all of our guests. I would 100% hire Brett again in a heartbeat if I had it to do over. Couldn't have found a better photographer, hands down THE BEST!

We couldn't have been happier with Brett. Through all the madness of planning a wedding Brett made the whole process so simple. Since we live on Long Island and have very hectic work schedules our contact was through phone calls and e-mail. Brett was on top of everything and always made sure to get back to us right away. Unlike all our other vendors Brett wasn't pushy, he didn't try to sell us every service under the sun. He gave us our options and made sure to explain everything step by step. He made sure to find out exactly what we wanted out of our photos. The day of the wedding his demeanor was so calming and unpretentious. He even jumped right in to help with the boutonnieres. In the end the photos were gorgeous! Every single detail was captured. After the wedding we received so many compliments from our family and friends about how he made them feel like they were a special part of the wedding too.

Brett did an amazing job as our wedding photographer- we would recommend him to any bride or groom to be. Our wedding was in South Carolina and was the perfect backdrop for family memories that Brett captured beautifully. Brett not only assisted us by making photography suggestions, he also allowed us the freedom and flexibility to ad-lib when needed. The quality and quantity of photos provided to us were amazing.Thank you Brett!Karen & Douglas

My husband and I looked everywhere for a photographer for our wedding we finally found out about Brett. His work was beautiful and so creative and his prices amazing for his work. We live in Washington state, which is on the other side of the US from Brett, and he was willing to fly here for our wedding. Hearing horror stories of brides having their photographer never show up or never receiving their pictures, we were naturally scared that, 'what if he doesn't show up?'. We wrote Brett back and forth and asked questions and asked for references and in the end, we felt completely comfortable that he was legit.Having Brett as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! He is very courteous, polite, and on time; he was at the wedding site before I was! He captured every moment and memory of our day; things I would have never even thought to get a picture of. A quote from one of our friends at the wedding "He was a mad shutter fool!" :)He has such talent and is so creative in his work. His work is worth way more than what he asks. I recommend him to anyone since I know you won't be able to find a better photographer out there!

We could not have been more thrilled with Bretts work! He was wonderful to work with and the pictures he took are gorgeous. Not only did he take all of the images we had requested but he was also very helpful in providing us with ideas for photos (locations, poses etc.) Communication was excellent in the weeks leading up to the ceremony and he was always quick to respond to any questions we had. How he managed to capture so many intimate moments so unobtrusively we will never know but we are incredibly pleased with his work. Brett is both easygoing and incredibly professional. He is a very talented photographer and I would highly recommend his services, I feel lucky that we found him for our wedding!

Brett is truly a professional. His approach, attitude, vision, and talent are unparallelled. He is affordable, reliable, and painless to work with. A great guy who I have recommended to many other friends and family members. Do not hesitate to book him for your next event. Thanks Brett for everything. Its been a fun year seeing you at so many our friend's and family's weddings/events.Ryan & Jen Nolan

When my husband & I decided to do a Trash the Dress photo session we choose Brett as our photographer. He was wonderful to work with! He made us both feel at ease & not nervous in the least. He also worked with us using our ideas & his to create one-of-a-kind photographs. After the session was over, he kept in touch with us to be sure we were happy with the pictures & how the day went. We received our pictures very quickly & couldn't have been happier with them!! Brett is definitely an A++ photographer & we are so happy that we had the chance to work with him!
Brett - thank you SO much!! We LOVED the photos...I laughed and cried looking through them. I appreciate you picking up on all the details. We will be forever grateful! Jessica and Lona
Hi Brett,
Paula and I sat down and viewed all of the photos this weekend. We smiled and laughed and we almost cried, well at least we saw pictures where we were nearly crying. You capture the ceremony beautifully and many of the shots from our day after session were even more picturesque than we had imagined. I must admit that looking at the photos of the reception and seeing what the guests were doing while we weren't looking was the most entertaining part. You seem to have a way of capturing smiles from even the most stern guests.
We were thrilled with the quality (and the quantity) of the photographs. Paula and I couldn't believe that there could be so many great shots taken in such a short amount of time. We have more great photographs from the short time you spent with us, than we have from the previous five years of our relationship!
Most importantly Paula and I haven't thanked you enough for your professional and personal manner. Working with you helped everyone relax and enjoy the wedding all the more. It is a difficult task to take perfect pictures inside a tight time frame, but Paula and I were able to trust you completely. We never once worried about forgetting a particular photo, or running behind schedule. The bridal party agreed with our impressions that you were great.
We forwarded your information to one of Paula's bride's maids and we are hoping to see you again in Mass. next may.
All our Best,
Brian and Paula
I have goosebumps! I'm sorry, I've never been good with words, but wow, goosebumps and tears is what you've left me with. Your photos are absolutely amazing and I thank you ... We truly appreciate your efforts and compassion. We will highly recommend your services to our friends and colleagues. Ryan and Lisa
Brett ... As our first anniversary has recently passed, my husband John and I took out our wedding album once again to stare at your gorgeous photos. You truly captured the spirit of the day and made our wedding look like those girls dream about from wedding magazines! We received so many compliments and requests for photos, and many pictures still hang on friend, family, and coworkers' walls. Thank you again for your wonderful photographs. I love looking at your new weddings on Facebook and seeing how special you make each couple's day.
I don’t think a moment wasn’t captured the day of our wedding which is what every bride and groom crosses their fingers and hopes for. The couple puts their trust into a photographer to capture every amazing moment and he did for us. It was so difficult to choose out of the hundreds of proofs because there were just so many to choose from. Brett’s sharp eye and kind heart would make any bride and groom a happy couple.
The photos are simply gorgeous! You captured not just the critical moments, but lots of great small moments and candids that truly bring the day to life. Words can’t thank you enough….the photos are amazing and breathtaking. We will always cherish them and look forward to sharing our wedding photos for years to come. We thank you endlessly for this. We just can’t thank you enough. XOXOXO <br> Christine, Jimmy, Zach and Zoie
Brett is particularly skilled at people management. He is a very sincere person and our families (even Nidhi’s grandmother who doesn't speak a word of English) had a great experience with him. He took some of the best photos of her and her mom together - ones we know we will cherish forever.
Brett is skilled at photographing both posed shots and candid, journalistic type shots....making sure that your set of photographs is complete in integrating. During the down-times when events weren't happening, he took lovely artistic shots of the set-up and decorations. Nidhi and Ian
WOW!! What great pictures. You did a wonderful job at capturing such special moments and some really funny ones too. “Thank You,” you photos have made this an unforgettable occasion, and we cannot thank you enough for doing such a fine job.
There are hardly words to describe just how grateful we now feel for have chosen you as our photographer to shot our wedding back in January 2007....you were absolutely wonderful the day of the wedding. Since we have now had a chance to look through all the images a few times we want you to know just how incredible you are as a photographer. They truly are unbelievable. We couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. It’s so nice to be able to relive the most important day of our life and admire your work at the same time! We will also go out of our way to give your name and contact information to anyone and everyone we can think of for an upcoming event. We truly will be forever grateful for you and your work. So, thank you for the memories of our wedding day. Laura and Jerry
Brett You were fabulous. You kept us moving, were so professional and polite, and made us all feel so comfortable. We can't thank you enough for all of your hard work.
If I were to get married again, I already know who I would hire to photograph my wedding. Having worked with Brett Szemple on many weddings and photo projects, and after seeing his amazing talent, skill, technical ability, reliability, ease and charm first hand, I would highly recommend him. I would trust him to capture my own wedding in the most memorable and creative way. Brett’s a natural during an extremely fast paced day such as a wedding. I’ve seen him organize large bridal parties and hugh families in the tightest of time lines without missing a shot or a beat and at the same time keeping the crowd engaged and calm. He has the ability to captivate the crankiest child and get him or her involved in the moment.
I haven't met anyone more honest and genuine, and you can be confident that there isn’t any part of your wedding day that Brett doesn’t have covered. His focus is on you, the bride, and your wedding memories. There is nothing like a photograph that brings you back to a wonderful moment in time, a precious memory. Brett’s photographs do just that.
Brett and one of a kind! I'm so happy to have been apart of his project "Brides across America". We had lots of laughs and a great experience. I really hope to work with Brett again someday and can't wait to see the completed project! He and his crew are such talented photographers! I highly recommend them!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Not only was Brett great to work with, his pictures are amazing. I even featured a few of them on my blog. I hope he will do more destination weddings in California because I would love to work with him again. I highly recommend his services.

Janice and I worked with Brett on a wedding in Maine last August on the hottest weekend of the summer. Working at that wedding was absolutely brutal with the only relief to be found in the commercial refrigerator in the kitchen. Brett never stopped shooting and got amazing shots from dawn to dusk that day of our couple. I highly recommend Brett and look forward to the time we will have the opportunity to work together again.Best,Terri Altergott, PBC™Something Borrowed, Something New Events
About Our-Wedding-Photographer.com
Underlying Brett’s artwork is his belief that photography sustains our memories and revitalizes our emotions, which keeps them alive. A great wedding photographer is an unobtrusive keen observer of people, one who sees subtlety and nuance, one that makes expressive heartfelt images while blending in seamlessly. Brett believes every wedding is a profoundly significant pivotal point, a time-honored ritual in the lives of two people. His approach cumulatively pieces together the magic of each moment to reflect the story of two lives brought together by love.
Brett’s creative fusion utilizes elements of photojournalism, fashion and traditional photography. His style is said to be contemporary, edgy, sophisticated, and dynamic with an editorial feel. His coverage is responsive and comprehensive. The imagery is distinctive, energetic, fun, spontaneous and timeless treasures. A perfect combination suited for wedding photography; whether it’s an elaborate affair or an intimate cocktail party. In the words of Alexia, a former client, “Brett, you brilliantly immortalized slivers of time, frozen yet fluid, raw yet refined.” Henri Cartier-Bresson has said, “the decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression.” Brett has made this his photographic philosophy.
When Brett is not behind the camera collaborating with couples to document their wedding, he is creating clay and metal sculptures as well as pursuing other fine-art endeavors. Brett lives with his wife and two children on an old country farm in north central Pennsylvania. His home serves as an artist retreat to both accomplished and aspiring artists in all genres.
