FOR UNIQUE COUPLES (WHO CAN’T WAIT TO GET HITCHED)
Your love story is anything but ordinary. That’s why it deserves to be celebrated in a wildly authentic way - one that radically reflects who you are (even the weird bits). It’s not every day you get to marry your best friend and embark on this mad new journey together. And when you’ve got that honeymoon kinda love, every moment is electric. You believe in living life to the fullest, embracing the joy, the laughter, and the spontaneity that comes with it.
Photographer, videographer, chief roaster, comedy lover, and recovering Emo kid behind Bookend Photo and Film. I love working with couples (just like you guys) who don’t take themselves too seriously and who aren’t afraid to lean into their weirdness.
Hey 'der bud! I’m Brian,

I may not be Quentin Tarantino, but I love watching movies and let me say this: I know a good story when I see one. Whether it’s a ceremony in the woods or your favorite local indie band playing your reception, your wedding day is all about what lights you up.
Life’s too short for mediocre and whatever your big wild wedding vision is, we can definitely create that together. Forget the one-size-fits-all wedding photos and cookie-cutter videos you’ve seen everywhere. Bookend celebrates your uniqueness with vibrant visuals that are as unconventional and out there as you are.

Bookend was an absolute DREAM to work with! They kept the day flowing so I wasn't stressed at all about the timeline, and they made us all feel comfortable throughout the process.

For the couples who don’t care about ‘should-dos’ or rulebooks, this one is for you.
Wedding photo and films that celebrate the rebels, the outlaws, the ones who aren’t afraid to live life out loud or dance to their own beat.
There’s no spills or frills round here, what you see is what you get! Being super transparent and authentic is one of the core values of Bookend Photo and Film. And it works both ways: I want you to fly your freak flag and be completely yourselves. Ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process is foundational. I do me, you do you. And when everyone feels free to express themselves however they like, that’s when the magic happens.
Straight-up truths
Because why not?! Each day on earth is a freaking gift - especially your wedding day! So, let’s raise a glass and have a laugh. I’m a huge fan of stand-up comedy so laughter is my go-to approach. (Just ask any of my grooms and they’ll tell you I love a good roasting session!) Your sense of humor is a love language in and of itself so it deserves way more credit than it gets! Let's make your wedding day a blast, one that will keep you grinning for years to come.
Lots of laughter
I’m very much of a go-with-the-flow kinda guy. A lot of vendors spend their time nailing down timelines and plans that they end up missing the good bits. And while I’m big on details and curating stunning frames, I’m also rooted in the here and now. It’s your wedding day and you want to enjoy it, not be constantly striving for that ‘perfect shot.’ My approach is laid-back, so we can capture those spontaneous moments authentically, as and when they happen.
