“A breath of fresh air on our wedding day!… If you want someone with great energy and vibes, who will deliver photos that represent you, Brandon is a perfect choice.”
“I’ve known Brandon a long time, but my partner did not know him before we met to see if he’d be a good fit for our wedding. Now we are confident that Brandon was the perfect photographer for us. His personality was very go-with-the-flow, while still being efficient and effective at getting us the shots we wanted to capture. He gave us direction and ideas, but we never felt pressured to do anything we weren’t comfortable with, just for the sake of a picture. Though we were nervous about our engagement photo session, the time just flew by.
Having spent time with Brandon on the engagement photos, we were more comfortable on our wedding day with him, too. On our wedding day, Brandon and Josh captured the essence of the day and all the shots we wanted. When we got our galleries from the engagement shoot and our wedding, we had so many wonderful pictures to use. Brandon’s photos show us as we really are, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you want someone with great energy and vibes, who will deliver photos that represent you, Brandon is a perfect choice.

“Best Photographer Ever! Brandon was outstanding.”
“My husband and I had never taken professional photos prior to our wedding, so we opted for the engagement session in addition to the day of wedding photos. Brandon was like our long-lost best friend from the moment we met him. He made us feel immediately comfortable and gave such great direction. I love his energy, passion, and especially his editing style. We were married at Turner Hall Ballroom, and the photos are to die for. They allow me to relive the entire day every time I look through them. They always say to invest in your photos for your wedding because you'll have them forever.
I couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Brandon at RoostMKE.
He even got us featured with Married in Milwaukee #goals. Thank you, Brandon. I will recommend you to any and everyone I know!”

“Extremely Talented and Thoughtful… My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to hire Brandon of Roost Photography to capture our wedding day.
We really wanted the best of the best, and we were not disappointed. From the moment we met him, we knew he would be the perfect fit for us.
The photos from our day turned out beautifully. He captured our day in the exact way that we had hoped. The photos of the two of us showed our love for one another, and our personalities came through, too. He caught all of the details and special moments - even the one of a post-ceremony chat with Grandma. Every shot is well thought out, from the composition to the angle to how the light hits the subject just right to the overall mood. There is an abundant amount of care and attention that goes into each photo, and it shows.
Not only is Brandon an extremely talented photographer, but he is also a great presence to have around on such a crazy day. Being in front of a camera can make a lot of people feel awkward, but his direction and calm demeanor made everyone feel at ease.
We would 100% recommend Roost Photography if you're looking for both great quality and care.
Thank you again and again, Brandon!”

“Quality photography was the number one most important factor in our wedding planning, and we got exactly that by hiring Brandon of Roost Photography.
Brandon was easy to work with from our first consultation, through the whirlwind planning (4-month engagement), for an awesome date night engagement photo session, and clearly, the entire day of the wedding. We never felt like we were just another job to Brandon. We got to know each other, and valued his advice on all things wedding-related. We had a couple of non-traditional items in our wedding that have special meaning to us. Brandon picked up on what was important to us and made sure to include all the special items and events.
Brandon's passion and experience are evident in his work. We had an incredible wedding day, and now we have the pictures to remember it forever.”

“Choose Brandon, you won't regret it!
My husband and I had Brandon photograph our wedding this September, and we couldn’t have been luckier! From the very beginning, he was responsive, helpful, and organized, which is key when you’re planning such a big event. He even offered to (and did) chauffeur us around on our big day since we decided against renting a party bus. (What a guy!) Not only is Brandon an all-around awesome person to spend a day with, but he’s got the skills to match. Wedding photos are one of the few tangible things you keep from your wedding day, so we placed a lot of importance on picking the right photographer. We really admired Brandon’s previous work, and when it came to our wedding, Brandon did not disappoint!
Not only did he capture beautiful photographs that we get to show people for the rest of our lives, but he also managed to make them look just as magical as the day felt.
Thank you, Brandon! We are so grateful.”

“Roost Photography was amazing!
Planning a wedding during the shutdown & pandemic was not the easiest scenario; Brandon was flexible and helpful. We cancelled our big wedding and rescheduled a mini wedding at our parents’ house. He was on board the entire time, even through the back and forth while we were trying to figure out what was important to us. What amazing photography! He captured the drama I wanted along with the bright outdoor wedding I was picturing. The day was perfect! Brandon was right there for every moment. Thank you, Brandon. We appreciate you so much!”
Emily + Andy
“Brandon does amazing work!! He is so talented.
Our wedding photos are beautiful. He captured our many emotions throughout the day. He is so kind, fun-loving, and easy to work with. We were really thankful for his clear & knowledgeable direction the entire day. We appreciated how he took the lead on all things related to our photos. He is very professional, yet so personable. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day! We highly recommend Roost Photography to our (MANY) friends who are in the engagement/marriage season :)”
Melissa + Ryan
“Brandon did such a great job with our wedding photos.
I am so glad we went with Roost Photography! He met with us several times and planned out every step of the day, and was super flexible and receptive. It rained throughout our wedding day, but Brandon had planned out several beautiful outdoor, covered locations to shoot at, so we still got amazing outdoor pictures in spite of the weather. He put us at ease and gave really great directions that made shooting easy and the pictures natural-looking. The packages are also a great value. I would truly recommend Roost Photography to anyone.”

“I would highly recommend Brandon to anybody getting married!
He actually took the time to sit with us and get to know us before our wedding. All of our guests loved the photo booth that was included with our package, and we loved all of our pictures from our gallery! You will NOT be disappointed in choosing Roost Photography!”
Christie & Keith
“Brandon's photos are amazing…
…and he was so great with the family and guests at the wedding!”
Abi + Sam
“We were beyond lucky to find Brandon
…when our initial photographer fell through. He did an amazing job with our photos and went above and beyond to accommodate the many changes that had to be made due to the pandemic. He was on time, professional, and extremely patient, especially with our five-year-old daughter.”
Ashley + Andrew
“Brandon exceeded our expectations every step of the way!
He was incredibly organized and made it easy to plan our wedding from out-of-state. Brandon made our entire wedding party so comfortable, helped orchestrate a seamless evening, and delivered gorgeous photographs. Our guests and families were incredibly complimentary of Brandon and his work. We would hire him again in a heartbeat
Daniel + Margaret
We were incredibly lucky that our original photographer referred us to Brandon…
He was easy to work with. We wanted to set up a video call to get to know him, and he immediately put us at ease with calm confidence and an easygoing, understated sense of humor…
On the day of, he arrived on time and quickly got to work. He did a great job of taking our ideas and feedback and synthesizing them with his own professional knowledge of photography and experience with weddings to get a variety of really excellent shots. And more than that, with a small guest list of immediate family only, as you can imagine, everyone was juggling at least a couple of responsibilities, and Brandon rose to the occasion, helping us coordinate shuttling me around to avoid seeing my bride-to-be or her dress before the appointed time. He even hopped on the task of restarting our jury-rigged audio setup - a bluetooth speaker hanging from a tree - when it had gone to sleep during the ceremony and failed to activate for our recessional. This small act - just quickly stepping over and fiddling with a button - nonetheless is indicative of the kind of value Brandon brings: he takes responsibility onto himself to ensure your day is a success.
At the same time, he's not pushy or domineering. For example, we wanted some photos with specific things in the background, and he let us know that the lighting conditions would be challenging, but he worked with us to find the angles to everyone's satisfaction.
Now back to the quality of the photos: we couldn't be happier.
If you're considering hiring Brandon as your wedding photographer, I would wholeheartedly recommend him.
His skill and adaptability will leave you with a wonderful record of your special day.
Though we would not have been directly affected, we appreciate that his philosophy is that love is love, and he photographs all weddings without concern for the gender makeup of the spouses.
