Brandi was perfectly professional and got all the right shots. Her turn around time on the photos was so fast and we were able to use them for event-end marketing! Very very impressed!

If you're last-minute — no worries! I’m online most of the day and usually respond fast-fast 💨 Now, let’s talk about what I do... I’m Brandi — a connection-chaser, joy-documenter, and hype-woman with a camera. Whether I’m capturing your wedding, family session, celebration, or corporate magic, my goal is the same: to bottle up the real stuff — the love, laughter, personality, movement, and that something special that makes your people yours. When you look at your photos, I want you to see your favorite version of yourself and the soul of your relationships — preserved with style, heart, and color (so much color). 🎉 Let’s make something unforgettable ✨
Reviews
Loved partnering with Brandi for photos at a large event in Downtown Oakland. She was a thought partner and took amazing photos for a book we're publishing in 2026!
I could NOT have pulled off my wedding without her! We decided to elope in San Francisco city hall, not ever visiting it before. Brandi was my first hire from the thumbtack app. She was an absolute delight and breath of fresh air every interaction we shared! We held multiple calls, exchanged text and ultimately she took my vision and brought it to life! I feel like the luckiest bride! She made everything so special and made me feel comfortable by all her reassurance and gave me exactly what I wanted, breathing photos to last a lifetime! Thank you!
The English language does not have adequate words to how wonderful working with Brandi was. With only three days notice, Brandi helped me execute a perfect surprise party for my godsister. The images are beautiful, she captured every moment we hoped for, and build a beautiful little portrait studio for us and our guests to enjoy. Thank you so much, Brandi! I very much appreciate it.
Brandi was great. It was a last minute event and Brandi was fantastic in being very communicative, punctual, lots of directions which I deeply appreciate and creative photos. Also just a delight to work with. Would definitely book for future events.
I cannot say enough good things about Brandi and her style. Everything started with the first call, she was the ONLY vendor of 12 to offer an initial Zoom call. That "30-minute" call lasted 90-minutes with more laughter than my 'now-wife' and I experienced during COVID. After that call, I asked Brandi for sample albums. The first one she sent was just WAY too good. I asked for additional albums to which she sent 4-5 albums. I could not find a flaw in any of them. We quickly determined Brandi was the one! On the day of the wedding, Brandi was exceptional. She took very professional "planned photos" but during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, she did an unbelievable job of not getting in the way of "moments". She was the hidden paparazzi during the entire evening, capturing moments we never even knew about (like the secretive inside joke she did with a few guests, photo was awesome)! We received our teaser photos and were BLOWN away by how good each photo was. Several of us in the wedding party have now converted our background photos on our phones to the photos that Brandi took. If you are considering Brandi, just DO IT! She is worth EVERY penny
Brandi was such a pleasure to work with. She is very detailed oriented. 2 days after wedding we already had teaser photos, ant wait to see the rest!
This was our first time getting professional photos taken, and let me say, Brandi made this an amazing and easy experience. She was very kind, helpful, and made us comfortable in front of the camera. If we ever want to do another photoshoot, Brandi will definitely be the first photographer we will call.
Brandi was awesome! I found her on short notice and she was still able to work me into her schedule. She promised we’d have teaser pics the day following our photo shoot and she definitely delivered on this, as we woke up to the link to our teaser pics. We didn’t have to wait all day - and the pictures are STUNNING. I still can’t believe that I’m the person in those pics - she did a stellar job. can’t wait to see the rest of the pics in a couple weeks - I would definitely use her again for more photo shoots in the future!
Brandi is exceptionally talented! We highly recommend her services for all your photography needs.
Brandi is amazing and definitely has a gift! From start to finish she has been very helpful and very detailed! She even had pointers doe outfits and throws if we chose to sit on one to animals if you had one. I chose her because I had seen that she works with little kids and babies and we have an almost two year old that doesn’t do well with unfamiliar face and she did just that on our picture day lol. Brandi was amazing and patient despite our toddler not having a great time, she even brought out a bubble machine for her!! My toddler cried almost the entire time but Brandi somehow was able to capture pictures that doesn’t even look like we had a problem at all. My husband and I was amazed because we knew what was going on in each picture but you wouldn’t be able to tell unless you were there!!! She is awesome I can’t say it enough! I am definitely going to be using her again the picture was are gorgeous and I am So pleased!
Brandi was fantastic to work with, she helped to wrangle my sometimes tense hubby and kids and get them to loosen up and enjoy themselves. Brandi spent time to help us get the photographs we wanted, and some that we hadn't even thought of. I was impressed that Brandi went and scouted my chosen location a couple of days prior to the shoot, and was able to provide some suggestions that I was unaware of. I highly recommend working with Brandi.
Amazing Photos and AMAZING Photographer! Brandi Rollins is kind and knows how to get the best photo of you! I highly recommend her and her absolutely stunning work!
She is absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I took engagement photos for our save the dates and website. I was so nervous coming into this shoot. I usually don’t let anyone take my photos because I get so awkward but Brandi made us feel so comfortable. She told us to do something we always do with each other. Once we did that the shoot just flowed. I had so much fun! And then the photos! They turned out so nice. Even though the mosquitos started to get to us Brandi kept it professional and moved quickly. She’s so easy to talk to. Just book her because we will definitely be booking her for future events!
Brandi!!! Thank you so much. This was our first time for professional pictures, she made us feel comfortable, very friendly and definately knows and loves what she does. We couldnt be happier with our pictures, they were more than what we expected for our first time all thanks to Brandi. Thank you again Brandi for gassing us up with every pose and click 😂. Definately recomend her services.
We loved working with Brandi. She was friendly, upbeat, very responsive to our questions and had a great sense of what we were looking/hoping for just from speaking with us. Day of the shoot she was very professional and helped us feel comfortable and less dorky, and she was able to get our tired and cranky baby by the end of the hour to continue smiling! The photos came out amazing and her turn around time was spectacular. She also surprised us with some extra shots which were extremely appreciated!
I would definitely consider Brandi for future professional photo shoots. She was one of my favorite vendors to work with during my wedding planning. From start to finish, Brandi was responsive, helpful, personal and professional. I’d refer her to anyone.
Brandi was everything I was looking for and more for my galactic mermaid wig party! She captured some of my favorite photos of all time featuring all of my best friends. Brandi managed to really get in the middle of all the action which I appreciated, and she was super communicative throughout the entire process. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you, Brandi, I hope we work together again in the future!
Brandi was great to work with! She was also able to work within my budget. Brandi was quick to respond and punctual the day of! My husband and I are not great with photos and Brandi knew just how to makes us feel comfortable. If I ever need a photographer again, I will call Brandi ❤️
I’m more than impressed and these are just teasers. This is my first professional shoot and I feel she’s outdone herself. She was very comfortable to talk with and be around.
