Victoria Bremner Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Hayward, CA for additional fees

I'm a Las Vegas based professional wedding photographer, working with couples from all over the world, as well as a travelling wedding photographer. Along with adoring weddings, I'm a serious hockey fan, with silver hair, and a terribly awkward smile. When I’m not photographing people, I love photographing Lego Minifigs on location, Darth Vader being a favorite (and personal hero) but I like expanding my collection of character portraits. I have a wicked sense of humor, a weakness for Rom Com’s & Spanish red wine. In my personal time I work closely with a local dog rescue, as a foster home and photographer, helping find their furever homes.

I had never been to Vegas before getting married there and Victoria eased all my wedding planning and photography fears! She is super knowledgeable about the area and recommend the perfect spot for our pre-ceremony pictures based on what we wanted. They turned out beautiful! She was also great at navigating some big or difficult personalities flawlessly the day of by staying calm and fun and keeping everything relaxing! We are obsessed with our pictures and I can’t recommend her enough.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kiera! She has been our go-to photographer for all of life’s special moments—our wedding, maternity, newborn photos, and family portraits. Kiera is incredibly understanding, patient, and accommodating. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she truly goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy. I just got married this past weekend and spent over seven hours with Kiera. Not only did she capture breathtaking photos, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly and put me at ease as a bride, which was invaluable! Her calming presence, friendly demeanor, and professionalism made everything feel effortless. One of the standout features of working with Kiera is the convenience of her online album. After each session, we get quick access to our photos, where we can easily view them and select our favorites. This allows us to have full control over the final selections, ensuring that we get the exact photos we want to have edited. I highly recommend Kiera to all my family and friends. Whether you’re in New Mexico or the surrounding areas, Kiera is the photographer you want. She even travels out of state! We are so grateful to have her and will continue trusting her with all our photography needs.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

Hi! My name is Sara. The last couple years of my photography career has allowed me to travel to new places which I have always wanted to do. Photography has allowed me to travel to Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Kentucky, Virgina, Connecticut Louisiana, and in July will be Oregon, and January 2025 will be Washington. I have been professionally doing photography for 3+ years. Somedays it doesn’t feel real I get to travel & meet all of you amazing people & capture all of these special moments for you. I never take it for granted. I love capturing all of the details, candid’s and the in between during your wedding day.

Sarah knows how to capture all of the right pictures! She’s very great at directing and knowing what shot she’s looking for. Has great/fun ideas and the best editing. She’s basically become our family photographer at this point! 10/10 recommend.

From the moment we booked Bethany Michaela Studio for our wedding, their communication was clear and timeline/details tool’s easy to use. They stayed in contact leading up to the big day, ensuring everything was organized and ready to go. On the day of our wedding, the Bethany Michaela team brought a calming presence and captured everyone at their absolute best. As someone from the events industry, it was an honor to work with a photography team I respect so highly. Bethany's work is truly incredible, and I'm overjoyed with the beautiful photos that capture all the special moments from our wedding day.
