Wedding Photography | Brian Clay

For years I photographed weddings and portraits as Brian Clay Photography. If you are looking for advice on wedding photography, my thoughts are here.

Over the years, as technology, quality, and taste in the wedding photography industry has advanced exponentially, I feel as if my work may look dated to some. Or maybe that’s just me feeling like it was all so long ago. Perhaps, but even if someone objectively did not like my photography, I would still put my relationships with and feedback from my clients up against anyone's. My experiences with those many couples are what I am most proud of from my time as a wedding photographer.

“…I’ve never seen a more beautifully photographed wedding…”
~ Meghan

“How can I express in words what my heart feels? It doesn’t seem possible that you can see and capture on film what I thought only I could see and feel in my heart as her mother. It’s not simply a picture of two people who are happy and looking forward to their wedding day, it’s the complete essence of who they are and how much they are in love. You have captured and documented the spirit of their love and devotion. Brian….you are amazing! Thank you for all your hard work, kindness and understanding on Jaime and Matt’s wedding day. I wish you a smile and a tear for each click of your camera that you may feel the joy and the emotion that you capture.”
~ Paula

“I truly can’t thank you enough for the spectacular ways in which you captured the real, true, most precious and intimate details of our wedding. I couldn’t be any more pleased with each and every photo, each moment you captured. I honestly wouldn’t change a single thing about the photography piece of our wedding. I want to buy every single picture — they’re that amazing! Really, you have and incredibly unique talent.”

We were so fortunate to have you capturing the essential moments of our wedding day. I love that I have such a full spectrum record of the day — your pictures bring back glimpses of the fun, the joy, the anticipation, and the emotion of the last day of our single lives and the beginning of our marriage. Thank you so much!”

“Our wedding day would not have been the same without you. Everything ran extremely smooth because of you…We are absolutely blown away by the photos! You have made us look fantastic! We have so much faith in your talent from seeing your work, but you exceeded our expectations. We cannot wait to see the reaction of our family and friends…”

They are SO beautiful!! I think I broke the site once because I was looking at them so often. There are so many beautiful shots!! Thank you! I love them!

Thank you again for being a part of our special day. I love looking back through the photos and reliving those memories. They are so beautiful and have captured the emotions of the day so perfectly. We have had such a hard time finding favorites because they are all favorites. There are so many unique and different photos, not one is the same. We really love them all. Thank you for all the time and hard work you put into them. I can’t imagine anything better.
~ Jessica

Honestly, we cannot thank you enough for the truly amazing wedding photos! Even though the weather was less than ideal you did an amazing job again and created beautiful pictures for us! You really have proved that no matter what elements you are given — snow, sleet, rain, 90+ and sweating bullets, and a tornado — you can create stunning photographs! Can you actually believe there was a tornado at our reception?

You not only delivered exactly what we had hoped for, but so much more. You did an excellent job capturing the essence, beauty and fun we had that day!

Although we already knew your work was amazing; you should know that many of our guests were very impressed with your professionalism and work ethic as well.

We really appreciate all you have done for us, and sincerely thank you for creating the beautiful images in which we will have to remember our day forever.
~ Jillian and Dave

We are still so in love with your photos. You recorded our day and saw things that we didn’t even notice (which were some of the most fun photos). We can’t tell you how often, even years later, we still reference how lucky we felt having you as our photographer. You are the best. Thanks for everything!
~ Suzie and AJ
