IWPOTY Q : How long have you been a professional photographer and how did it come to be your chosen profession? Did you work in other professions previously and if so what?

PHOTOGRAPHER:

I’ve been photographing elopements for 6 years. It started in college. At the time, I was a pre-med major. I had just gotten married. My husband and I were both young and in school. We didn’t have any money aside from some gift cards and generous gifts from our wedding. One day, I saw a YouTube video about a photographer. Instantly, I knew it was something I wanted to at least try as a hobby. We spent the last $600 we had on a camera, and now I’m here. It’s crazy to look back and see how one impulsive decision turned into what it is today.

Brianna’s ability to make every part of the process so personalized and special is something we will forever be grateful for. Brianna has a heart of gold and is knowledgeable and efficient. We never felt rushed or staged. There were so many small moments she captured for me that mean the world. Our only regret of the day was not getting a photograph with Brianna as well.

IWPOTY Q : What is your most favourite venue or location to shoot at and why that specific place ?

PHOTOGRAPHER: Olympic National Park. The diversity in landscapes is simply incredible. I could spend years there and feel as though I’ve barely scratched the surface. It’s one of those locations for me that moves me to tears almost every time I visit.
