"I cannot express how thrilled we are with all of our photos!
You've been amazing throughout the whole process and far exceeded our expectations! It was such a hectic day with a lot of hiccups, but you were honestly the saving grace. You handled everything so perfectly… 100% flawlessly (and above and beyond). You captured all of our moments so beautifully and were really a superhero on the wedding day. I can't thank you enough for everything!!”
…We are so grateful and will recommend you to everyone we know!!”

“AMAZING. Brandon truly makes the day enjoyable, stress-free, and fun! And, of course, captured the day beautifully.”
Kayleigh + Sean
“Roost Photography is absolutely incredible.
10/10 human, 10/10 pictures.
I would recommend him a billion times over!”
I can't even begin to say how wonderful Brandon was from start to finish. We were out of state, and he had several video calls with us, coordinated an engagement shoot on a trip to Milwaukee, and has been so communicative throughout the entire process. Our wedding day was a little iffy with the weather, and Brandon brought umbrellas and took all necessary precautions. He made the most of the weather and even made sure we got outside for the only 30 seconds the sun peeked through all day. All of the photos… are INCREDIBLE, and I am already looking forward to doing anniversary and lifestyle shoots because he's just that good.
Brandon is creative, friendly, and hilarious. He puts everyone at ease during photos, and I am so excited to see the rest.
If you hire Brandon, you will not be disappointed. He truly is amazing at what he does.”

“Brandon!! WOW, these photos are insane!
Unique, great backdrops, and timeless photos to have framed forever. THANK YOU!!!
You are one hell of an artist… So grateful!”
Shannon + Grant
Worth every penny. You will not regret it. Best decision we ever made!!
Brandon's work speaks for itself, but it is the result of extreme talent for cameras and lighting, and especially working with people.
He knew exactly when to help guide things and when to step back and capture some beautiful moments. He knew all the best spots and how to work with our venue. He helped with our schedule and making sure we got everything on our shot list, but still got to relax and leave room for natural moments.
Of all the vendors to invest in for your wedding, your photos will last the longest, and it helps to have someone you trust, who is easy to work with, and does great work.
Brandon is a triple threat; we highly recommend him!

“I truly cannot recommend Roost Photography enough.”
“Brandon is passionate about capturing the joy in people's special moments, and it reflects through his work- you can somehow feel the love behind his brilliantly and expertly edited photos. On a human level, he is kind, genuine, caring, attentive, helpful, and friendly to everyone he encounters. Roost is a safe and inclusive place for all people and proudly works with many LGBTQ+ couples.
We hired Roost as our wedding and engagement session photographer. Here's why you should, too:
1. Photographing your most special moments is Brandon's passion. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and the photos he takes. He won't just do the job by checking items off a list, but rather will work until he is fully satisfied, knowing he has captured your special day or moment from every angle.
2. Brandon has a natural eye for lighting and photo backdrops. Walking around with his palm outstretched in front of him and stopping his subjects whenever the shadows are just right, you will not get a single photo with questionable lighting from Roost. He also utilizes the area around him (cityscape, buildings, architecture) as beautiful backdrops for his shots.
3. He's easy to contact. He's always available and responsive on social media, and you can schedule a phone or Zoom with him any time. We had an extremely helpful planning meeting before the wedding in which Brandon's expertise actually helped us nail down our timeline. You won't have to worry about tracking him down to deliver your photos either, as he will keep you updated on the expected delivery time.
4. He will honor your vision for your special day or event. If you give him a specific vision, he will move mountains to make it happen, literally running through crowds of people to capture the next shot if he needs to.
5. Brandon is competitively priced among other photographers in the area, but will deliver more to you than the average photographer in the area… and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. Roost is an extremely great value for the price.
6. He's just the best photographer in Milwaukee. Everyone who sees my engagement or wedding photos tells me how amazing his photos are. My venue even reached out to me for his contact information because they want to use his images as advertising on his website. His work speaks for itself, check out his Instagram @roostmke
If you're looking for a photographer for your engagement, wedding, or special event, I cannot recommend Roost Photography enough.

“Brandon is accessible, responsive, and always exceeds our expectations.
Our firm has been using Roost for over five years across multiple offices. Brandon puts our employees at ease, and as a result, the pictures always turn out phenomenal. The portraits always turn out looking natural and bring out the true personality of each person. Brandon is accessible, responsive, and always exceeds our expectations. We would (and have) recommended Roost Photography to others!”

“Brandon is so incredibly talented, but what sets him apart is how deeply he cares about his craft.
Every detail, every moment, every bit of his work reflects his passion and dedication. I am constantly in awe of his unmatched talent! He puts his heart and soul into everything he does! Brandon goes above and beyond in every aspect. He photographed a wedding I was a bridesmaid in, and when disaster struck, his humor saved the day.”

“…Thank you so much for these photos!
We absolutely love them…
…and are having a hard time picking favorites, there are just so many amazing options! We're so happy with the way you were able to capture how we feel about each other and the intimate and natural moments between us during the shoot. It's exactly what drew us to your work in the first place!
Carrie + Brandon
“Brandon Brown!!! You could have had your own comedy set.
We are still quoting some of your one-liners in our group chats.
The day was gorgeous, and we are so excited to relive it through your work.
We felt so relaxed and had so much fun. The pictures felt effortless.
Even at that wild Airbnb, it was exactly how I wanted the morning to come together
- surrounded in chaos and friends”
Casey + Jake
“Brandon is an absolute pleasure to work with! He is creative, professional, and has a positive attitude.
During our engagement session, he went to all the places we requested, and our photos are gorgeous!
On our wedding day, he worked so well with other vendors, helped wrangle our large wedding party so we could take all the photos we wanted, and did it all with a light-hearted, funny demeanor. I can't express enough how happy we are with Brandon and his work!”
Candace + Jared
“We cannot say enough amazing things about Brandon. He was phenomenal from our first phone call to our Wedding!
From the moment we met, his friendly and outgoing personality immediately put us at ease. On a day that could’ve felt stressful, they made everything feel natural and fun.
Brandon made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! His energy was contagious, and he had this incredible ability to capture real, candid moments without ever feeling intrusive. It honestly felt like having a close friend with us—someone who truly cared about our day and wanted us to have the best time.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning—emotional, vibrant, and beautifully captured. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to our Wedding day.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who’s not only ridiculously talented but also genuinely wonderful to be around, we can’t recommend Brandon enough. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly—you exceeded all expectations!
Crystal + Danny
“Danny and I LOVED the photos Brandon took for us and cherish those memories from that day. We get so many compliments on our wedding photos and proudly display them in an album on our coffee table.”
Heather Farr Events
“Not only is Brandon extremely talented, he is easy to work with in the planning stage and on the wedding day.”
“I am a local wedding planner and have worked with Brandon from Roost many times. Brandon is flexible, professional, creative and a great problem solver when timelines or weather go astray. He is a team player and will work with you, your family and friends and vendor team to ensure the day goes smoothly. The images he will capture for you speak for themselves. Highly recommend Roost Photography!

…Since Scott and Julia’s wedding, I have shared the jaw-dropping photos taken by Roost Photography… Everyone is speechless.
Not only was the venue’s beauty and splendor - Milwaukee Art Museum - showcased, but more importantly, Scott and Julia’s spirit, emotions, and excitement were expertly captured in every photo. We all want beautiful wedding photos, but these are pieces of art, created by a master. The videos posted to Instagram are super great. Bravo!
Diana & Erik
I would absolutely recommend Roost to anyone…
“I do not think we could have asked for a better photographer or person, really, to handle one of the most important tasks of our wedding day. The shots… are amazing, and guests' comments were all positive.
I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer because you can't go wrong. The best.”
