You guys may remember our rad sponsor, Bri McDaniel Photography, from such deliriously lovely weddings as Andrea and Dedrick's in the Smoky Mountains and when Jenny married Jake in the shirt she wore on their first date. Our girl knows her way around a camera and an offbeat wedding.

Today we've got huge news for our west coast readers: Bri is moving from Atlanta to take on Seattle. Let's see what makes her tick and how this move is AWESOME for us. Oh, and just wait until you see her "day in the life" shoots.

First, let's talk about what Bri brings to the table and the reasons she kills it with offbeat weddings. She's super passionate about diversity in her clients and in everything that makes each wedding different. She's a huge believer that every story is unique and deserves to be told in a dynamic way that honors each couple. You're not going to see only one type of couple in her portfolio, we can attest to that!

Bri's focus is on real storytelling... romantic storytelling in this case. Bri is so passionate about capturing the diverse array of people in love and the intimacy between them, that she wanted us to give you some insight in her own words:

I'm all about getting to know my couple's in an intimate way before the wedding day. I want to step away from the vendor/client relationship and establish more of a friendship. I want it to feel like we are just hanging out on the wedding day instead of just being the photographer.

One of my new ways of going about this are through my "day in the life" sessions. Instead of doing the typical two hour engagement session with a bunch of posing, I've been spending all day with my couples and capturing them in a natural way. Here is an example of this type of session. I feel this helps establish an intimate connection and the pictures that come away from the session feel a little more real.

YOU GUYS! Are you seeing the kitty shots, the bed shots, the cooking together, the snorgling?! This shoot is giving me some real feels.

So now we know why Bri loves you guys as diverse and offbeat couples, but let's talk about her move from Atlanta to Seattle. You're probably looking at that photo shoot I mentioned and are thinking, "damn, I want that." I know I am. Guess what: you CAN have it. Bri books weddings everywhere, and has no travel fees for the Atlanta area and now the Seattle area, too. We're going bi-coastal up in this bish.

Bri is booking weddings near Atlanta, and is now going to be rocking the west coast hardcore, too. Seattle-area couples (and beyond!), go get in touch with Bri to see if she's got your date free.
