We scheduled a very last minute engagement shoot and Briana was amazing! She was willing to work with us around a tight schedule of balancing an engagement and cherry blossom peak bloom. The pictures turned out perfect and were exactly what we wanted.

About Briana Gardener Photography
I studied graphic design at university and have been photographing for 13 years. My photography work has been featured by National Geographic, Vogue, Dove, Feminist, Goop, etc, and has been recognized by Siena's International Photo Awards. My experience is in portrait, product and event photography. Being photographed can be nerve-wracking, and selecting the right photographer to capture big moments can be a lot of pressure. I get it. My job as a photographer is to do my best to make sure you have the best experience possible, from working with you to plan for the photoshoot, to making sure you feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera.
Reviews
Brianna was amazing! She helped me coordinate the perfect spot for my proposal, arrived early and cleared some people out so the pictures were amazing! She did everything she promised and more. Delivered photos exactly as promised. Just an amazing job and I’m so thankful I found her. She made a special occasion even more special. Highly recommend!
We had the absolute best experience with Brianna! She is so warm and we immediately felt like we had met her before upon meeting. Our session was so fun; we did a family session and she made us all feel so comfortable, including our toddler! The resulting photos were beautiful and she truly captured our family in our most natural and comfortable state - huge smiles and silliness. Brianna’s turnaround time was fast and it’s so awesome to have so many beautifully edited photos. Thank you, Brianna!
Briana was amazing to work with. She was communicative and very professional during our session, especially when our toddler was very shy. She was also very fast delivering the photos and gave us some extras. Highly recommend Briana and we will be using her again to capture family photos.
Briana was a pleasure to work with before, during, and after our large-scale event. She asked detailed questions, listened to instructions, and produced fantastic photos that truly captured our black tie affair. Her beautiful work speaks volumes about her ability to capture candid shots as well as VIP and procedural portions of events. I would highly recommend Briana!
Briana was professional and warm, and gave us two memorable photoshoots in the past month. She makes everyone feel comfortable effortlessly, and isn't someone who nickels and dimes you on time or money, which is refreshing. Her camera work captures subjects using light like no one else that we have ever worked with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Briana was so great to work with for our engagement shoot. She made us feel so comfortable by giving us prompts that made the experience so fun. The pictures are incredible. We loved working with her!
I hired Briana Gardener through Thumbtack for a photoshoot project for a magazine feature article with Brainz Magazine. I have my own holistic health practice: Astraea Healing Connection and the magazine intended to feature it. For the purpose of the feature, I needed to provide professional quality photographs including portrait-type photos, as well as photos highlighting my practice. Briana was very accommodating of my request and was quick to provide a list of outdoor venues in Washington, DC that would work well for the project. We settled on the Kennedy Center, and I am very glad that I picked this venue. We chose to do a morning photoshoot to avoid running into concert-goers in the afternoon. Briana was punctual and, upon arrival, we took a moment to explore the venue and choose a place to set up. This ended up being a two-part session: at first we worked on some photos highlighting my practice, then we did some portrait shots. Briana offered guidance throughout the session and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She took a variety of photos from different angles, which highlight the work that I do, while not losing the emphasis on me as the owner of the practice. The portrait photos also show different sides who I am as a person. Once the photoshoot was done, I opted for a rush order. This meant receiving the downloads within a week. Briana was, again, able to meet my request, providing the materials exactly a week after the photoshoot. Overall, I am very pleased with my collaboration with Briana and would highly recommend her for professional photoshoots for small business owners who are looking for ways to promote their work. The quality and the diversity of the photos that I received exceeded my expectations. I am very happy with the having chosen Briana for this project.
Briana was such a pleasure to work with and her photos were excellent! She was so flexible in working with our toddler and we ended up getting so many memorable shots. We will definitely be seeking Briana's expertise next year!
Highly recommend!! Briana took on an unorthodox Halloween portrait photo project for us and did an amazing job - she’s creative, fun, upbeat, and knows how to get the most out of introverted subjects.
Briana was fantastic. She captured all of the most perfect moments of our wedding, and wad kind, punctual, and extremely professional. Her photos were amazing, and she was incredibly friendly too. We recommend her highly for anyone wanting timeless photos of their special day.
Absolutely fantastic experience. She went out of her way to come to a location that was not in her way at the last minute, was punctual, and had great energy on our proposal shoot. She knew exactly how to pose us and was also great at staying hidden and at a distance. Would happily reach out to her again on a different occasion.
Briana took some incredible photos of my family! Scheduling was really easy since she was so responsive. She graciously provided some good venue options, but we opted for an indoor/outdoor shoot at home. I really love how she captured us at home. It was a fun shoot and she was so kind and playful with our toddler! I’ve done 4 other professional shoots and can say she was hands down the best!
