We scheduled a shoot for our holiday cards this year. Brandon was prompt in reply and we communicated via email and... text leading up to the shoot. The day we met was quite blustery, and I was a little concerned that we would not get good photos, but there were many to choose from! He made us completely comfortable with his down to earth personality and we had so much fun with him. I will definitely book again with him! The editing he did was awesome, and we love having our online gallery. It’s very convenient!read more

I would enthusiastically recommend Brandon as a photographer for any event.Let me start by saying that my now husband... has been a photographer for over 20 years and was very specific is what he was looking for in a photographer for our big day. We were looking for someone with warmth, and a non-cookie cutter style, attention to detail, with an appreciation of light, shadows, and textures in photos. We wanted someone to capture the moments that others may overlook in the haste to check all the standard shots off some pre-conceived list. We also knew we had a couple of challenges that only a seasoned photographer would be able to overcome including the intimate size of our venue and the tricky lighting presented by our sunset ceremony with floor to ceiling glass windows and a mirror backdrop, and low lighting once the sun had set. Brandon’s talent shone through as he and his teammate easily overcame these hurdles. He has such a warm, easy-going, and hilariously fun energy that made the day even more enjoyable. He was always open to any ideas we had for shots. He was able to seamlessly blend in with our guests and put them at ease in order to get those candid moments that are absolutely priceless. He was also able to capture those big moments between bride and groom without sacrificing or disrupting our guests’ experience. We were so impressed by how fast he got our photos to us. His slideshow brought me to tears and we got so many comments from our guests about how well he captured the joy and happiness of not just the bride and groom, but our entire party. He told the story of our day so vividly with his artful shots and I will be forever grateful for his talent and hard work. I would highly recommend Brandon for his prompt and clear communication, his professionalism, his consideration, his vibrant spirit, and most of all the effort and care he takes in his craft.read more

I met Brandon through mutual friends and needed a last minute photographer for a big project. Not only was he super... accommodating to my needs, but also so easy and comfortable to work with, as if we've known each other for several years. I have been in high fashion for over 18 years. He understood my vision right away and executed amazing shots in a quick session, and had some good laughs and conversation all between. He has a wide range of photography skills and I look forward to working with him again soon!read more

Our family visited Oahu late June and had our family photos taken by Brandon Smith Photography. We’ve had professional... family photos taken before but never have we ever had such a friendly, knowledgeable, lively, wonderful, and fun photographer! We all LOVE Brandon, he made the entire experience fun. After our photo shoot, the girls told us they had so much fun with Brandon and that they never like taking pictures. You can tell through our photos that he captured our true selves. The girls smiles and laughter was 100% authentic and that is because of Brandon’s energy! The scenery was absolutely beautiful at Makapukuu Beach. We had all different types of landscape in our photos and loved every single one. We are so grateful to have met Brandon. He’s a joy to work with and so, so, so personable!!! If you’re considering using Brandon Smith Photography, you will not regret it. Your photos will turn out amazing! Thank you Brandon for everything, you are wonderful and I would give you many, many, many more stores if google review had the option!!!read more

I'm one of those people who obsessively researches reviews and the work of vendors, so trust me when I say I dug DEEP... before choosing a photographer, and Brandon was IT! I had a destination wedding in Hawaii, so we did not get to meet Brandon until the day of. However, he was so communicative and just by the tone of his emails, I felt like we were best friends! Aside from his obvious talent, it was his energy, guidance, and attention to detail that set him apart. My guests loved him, and he captured moments and details that I was hoping for, without me having to ask. Having Brandon be a part of our wedding was truly one of the best investments!read more

Brandon is an absolute rockstar. I booked Brandon after looking at his work and the minute we met all my nerves about... our photos disappeared, his work was spectacular and he was willing to listen to my ideas and make suggestions. By the end of the wedding it was like having an extra guest rather than a photographer.... And that giggle when he gets a great shot. Thank you Brandon, you're the best.read more

Brandon took our family pictures while we were vacationing on the island. He was phenomenal! I had read the online... reviews for many photographers before our trip, and selected Brandon for our family beach photo shoot after reading his reviews. I would completely recommend him, too! He was fun, knew all the best spots, caught on to what I was after, and was even willing to re-schedule when it started raining 10 minutes into our shoot. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! Thanks, Brandon!read more

We hired Brandon to photograph our family in Oahu in March. It was a great decision. Brandon is very skilled and... created many wonderful memories for us! The booking process was easy because he was always quick to reply to emails. He was punctual on the day of the shoot and very easy to work with. He took us to the location we were hoping to get to, so that was awesome. Brandon was great with our 2 young boys and we all had a blast! Thank you so much, Brandon! The Transread more

Brandon was our wedding photographer and he was top notch. We would use him again and recommend him in a heartbeat. We... loved his friendly demeanor, and professional manner in how he runs his business. I posted a long review on yelp with more detail but suffice to say, he is your guy. Quick turnaround and we love the photos. A+ would be photographed by Brandon again.read more
