Meet Brittany

Based in downtown Cincinnati, I’m a city girl at heart—drawn to architecture, atmosphere, and the quiet beauty found in everyday moments. I specialize in timeless, fine art meets editorial-style wedding photography for couples getting married in Cincinnati and throughout the Midwest, with select availability for destination weddings in Europe.

Whether I’m capturing a wedding at iconic local venues like the Cincinnati Club, Hall of Mirrors, or Peterloon Estate, or photographing love stories across Italy or France, my approach remains the same: thoughtful, intuitive, and emotionally attuned. I’m inspired by genuine connection and use refined artistry and storytelling to create images that feel elegant, honest, and deeply personal.

Love Notes

"One of the most important vendors to me as a bride was my photographer and I am over the moon that we chose to work with Brittany. She was amazing throughout the entire process and even better on our wedding day. She worked seamlessly with me, my mom, and our coordinator. She made sure that we had a chance to photograph all the important groups we wanted and items from our special day. She made it so easy and effortless to pose and take pictures that are beautiful and candid. The only bad thing is we have too many options of beautiful pictures to hang in our house, the final album was hundreds of photos! If you're a bride looking for a photographer that is easy to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and truly incorporates the vibe of your relationship and wedding into each photograph, Brittany is the way to go :) Thank you so much for everything on our special day!"

“Brittany shot our wedding and I absolutely can't say enough about her abilities, style, personality, and professionalism. My husband and I are designers had a vision and Brittany was so fun to share that vision with! She respected all of the details we did--and didn't--want included and elevated our vision every minute of our big day. She was also great with my family and friends, getting the more candid-style shots we hoped for effortlessly. Getting back her stunning photos has been so meaningful to us. My mom said it best when she gushed "Brittany is an ARTIST"!”

"Brittany was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. My husband and I absolutely loved working with her. Not only are her photos breathtakingly beautiful, but she also had a remarkable ability to pose us in such a natural, comfortable way while capturing all the candid, emotional moments. Her attention to detail with our timeline was impeccable, and she kept us perfectly on schedule. We hadn’t fully realized how present our photographer would be for the most intimate moments of the day, like our first look, but Brittany was so discreet when needed, making sure she stayed in the background while capturing those precious moments. Our wedding photos are truly a dream and will be cherished by us, our families, and our future family for a long, long, time! We are beyond grateful for her incredible work and truly, truly, truly can’t recommend her enough!"

"Brittany is INCREDIBLE! I don’t have enough words to describe how beautifully she captured our wedding day. Her professionalism is unmatched and she does such a great job at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her creativity behind the lens allowed her to capture so many moments of our day in a special way. The style of her photos brought to life every small detail that we will be able to cherish for years to come. Not to mention, she is so quick with her responses and turn around time! I highly recommend booking her for your special day!"
