Making the Moment Photography

Our wedding pictures are amazing! We love the creativity that is behind each picture. Working with everyone at Making the Moment was a great experience. They were timely and flexible in there responses during prewedding discussions. On the big day they spent the entire day with us making sure to capture us getting ready. I would highly recommend Making the Moment Photography!

Choosing Making the Moment to do our photos for our wedding day was one of the best decisions I made in the whole wedding planning process. Brett was great to deal with in the planning stages (both for the general photograph and the LiveBooth). He was awesome about calling and e-mailing right back and answering all of the questions I had as we figured things out. He is genuinely excited about your day and providing the best pictures possible. And our photographer, Benjamin, was awesome to deal with as well. He was great to talk to when we figured out the details of the day (and was as excited as Brett was about everything we had planned) and when the day finally arrived, he was amazing in person. He had an awesome personality and got along great with the wedding party. He was joking around with us (and rolling with the punches from my bridal party) pretty quickly after arriving at the salon to meet us. He was great at keeping us upbeat, but also finding a way to sneak in to take pictures when I least expected it (which I’m sure will result in the type of pictures I loved on their website). He was really good at keeping things moving along during the formal session at the church after the ceremony and then came up with some awesome set ups and ideas during the more creative session before the reception. Based on the general ideas he was relaying and the couple shots he showed us on the LCD on the back of his camera, I know that we’re going to get some amazing shots. We also did the LiveBooth, which goes above and beyond any photobooth you might consider using. It was something we added on only a couple weeks before the big day, but it was worth every penny and I’m so glad we did it. Not only did everyone have a great time using the props (and being inspired/directed by the photographer Anna – who was such a blast – she even ended up joining a couple pictures since people liked her so much!), the pictures were up online on Monday morning after our wedding. It was awesome getting to see all the fun at the airport on our way out of town on our honeymoon – and also to get e-mails and texts from everyone telling us which ones they loved. I can’t speak any more highly of everyone at Making the Moment and recommend them to everyone who might be getting married (or need any kind of professional photography) in the future.

We could not have been happier with the service and final product! We would 100% recommend Making the Moment to anyone!

Working with Brett & Making the Moment (MM) was one of the best experiences during the planning process of our wedding. Brett is an amazing individual, and MM was such a pleasure to work with (esp. day of!)... they are extremely professional, charismatic, communicative, friendly and their "bed side manner" is unparallelled. Oh and the pictures! The pictures! I can't gush enough about how amazing they turned out. I still, to this day, get compliments on my images. Brett captured the essence of Jon and I... which is really really hard to do! I can't express enough what a joy this ride has been. If you are a new bride, please please please contact MM. They will blow you away with their imagination, creativity, and professionalism (not to mention the kindest people in the industry). MM surpassed my expectations. I can't thank them enough!

Making the Moment was by far second to none! The service, professionalism and the work that they put out is really irreplaceable. Our images were absolutely breathtaking! Plus they were a blast to work with! On the day of our wedding our photographer was right on time, had everything planned out to the places where we were going to the timing of everything; I literally had zero worries or thought about the pictures. The locations of our pictures were creative, innovative and just plain fun! I would HIGHLY recommend Making the Moment to any Bride and Groom who want awesome, creative, fun, unique photos that will forever be the best memories of your wedding!

Brett made the experience fun and painless. His artistic vision and skill resulted in photos greatly exceeding what we could have imagined. He is courteous, friendly, and easy going, but focused and very professional. We were also thankful for his flexibility in traveling with us to do the shoot. His staff shared the same proactive, professional, but friendly and fun demeanor. We love the services Making the Moment delivered!

Where can I begin? Brett at Making the Moment was the second photographer we met with and fifth or sixth wedding vendor we spoke with. From the very beginning, Brett treated us like old friends instead of clients. Our initial meeting was at a coffee shop (I distinctly remember Brett being VERY excited about a certain Pumpkin Spice Latte...) and it lasted close to two hours. Brett didn't even bring up the sales pitch until he spent a good amount of time getting to know us: how we met, where we lived, our families, etc. When Brett finally did bring up packages and pricing, he also covered the "what ifs?" and really reassured us. After we left, my husband and I decided in the parking lot that this was our guy. He was fun, personable and had an amazing portfolio of work. But the best part about hiring Brett and Making the Moment? The "old friend" treatment didn't stop once we signed the contract. Brett was there every step of the way, keeping in touch, sending updates and planning our pictures. On our wedding day, he started at my house, taking candids and interacting with my bridesmaids, then running to my husband's location and doing the same. He even ran an errand for us so my sister wouldn't have to. We received our StoryBook a few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. I will and do recommend Making the Moment to every newly engaged person I meet. Photos of your wedding are priceless and I can't think of a better person I could have trusted them to than Brett.

I am still amazed at the quality of our wedding photos. Not only that, but we didn't have to walk around with an awkward photographer all day....Brett was hilarious and was constantly thinking of innovative things to do. It was actually FUN! Our business really couldn't have gone to better people. They go above and beyond in every aspect. Best decision I made concerning our wedding.

MakingtheMoment really does "Make the moments" last a life time. With only one day to celebrate so many months of planning, these photographs will help us celebrate for many generations to come. The talent, creativity, attitude of service, professionalism and genuine quality attention they provide to each couple is an authenticity you cannot find easily these days. If you want the care and attention you deserve on your special day, pick MakingtheMoment. You won’t be disappointed.

Vince from Making the Moment was our photographer. He had a lot of really creative ideas and we ended up with some phenomenal shots. The comment we keep hearing over and over is "Your wedding photos/photographer are amazing!"

Truly one of the best decisions of my wedding! I actually rearranged my wedding date to make certain that they could shoot the day for us! Brett was amazing and was always super easy to get a hold of for questions, etc. Vince was perfect! He actually drove into town the day before our wedding to scope out places to take killer pictures. That's above and beyond! I can't tell you how many people are raving about our pictures. And yes, even though it's nice to hear that from others, I can honestly say that I love EVERY picture (all 663 of them!)

What a dream come true Making the Moment was for us! Brett brought it all to the table: professionalism, dependability, flexibility, a fun and disarming attitude, and honest-to-God raw talent. On our wedding day, there were times when the sun was going down or the dining room was dark and I thought, "oh no, he'll never get these shots!" -Not only did he get them, but he captured beauty in every single one. For any couple looking for a unique yet elegant approach to wedding photography, these are they guys to work with. My husband and I searched all over the country for the perfect photographer, and finding Making the Moment was a home run. We hope to work with Brett and his team in the future. Thanks so much Brett; your work means the world to us!Much love,Sarah and Dave Szczypinski

AWESOMENESS in every sense of the word! Brett was amazing and answered everything we threw at him all the way through the process and Benjamin was our photographer for the day and he was so much fun and we were very comfortable with him! Couldnt ask for anything more!

Making the Moment Photography and its wonderful founder, Brett, are absolutely AMAZING. Truly the best decision we made in planning our wedding day. We had the pleasure of working with Brett for nearly 2 years from start to finish. From our initial meeting at Starbucks, to our fun-filled engagement session in the park, to the festivities on our big day and finally to receiving our beautiful storybook- every step of the journey has been so enjoyable and I couldn't think of anyone better to work with than Brett. He is such a genuine person and his energy and enthusiasm is so contagious, you can't help but be happy around him. Give Brett a call, mark photographer off your list of wedding to-dos and breathe easy knowing you will have BEAUTIFUL pictures of your wedding day to cherish forever :)With Love, The Dawsons

We absolutely loved every aspect of working with Making The Moment Photography! From beginning to the very end! Can't say enough great things about them and have told other friends who are wedding planning about them! Hopefully we will work with them in the future for family photos, etc!

We used Making the Moment photography for our Sept 2010 wedding. We wanted something fun & unique for our pictures. Photo's are something that lasts a lifetime, they link you into the memories of the day. We were so lucky to be able to book them for our engagement pictures from Brett & then our wedding with Jeff. These guys were open to thoughts ideas that we had. & they came up with some surprise's of their own. The pictures that we had seen from their previous weddings were just so different & unique. We wanted that! We got Fun & different, they captured so much of the wedding & personalities. We didn't want the traditional pictures. The service, the respect, the fun, you name it - Comparing prices & pkg's what photographers give you & what they don't... Making the Moment gave us everything & more of what we wanted. For the prices of the pkgs we right in line with other photographers- BUT, When you weigh the options the time the service the promptness, the quality there shouldn't be a question on who to work with. We want to do this experience all over again because we had so much fun with them!Amazing, simply Amazing!

Making the Moment is amazing! My husband and I were married in September 2010. We booked Making the Moment in December 2009. The initial meeting with the owner Brett was great. He was extremely enthusiastic and made it clear how Making the Moment would capture our special day. He put us as ease immediately and the photo books he brought to show examples of their work were gorgeous.My husband and I were not interested in a traditional wedding photographer. We wanted photojournalistic, moment capturing, spontaneous images from our wedding day. Making the Moment absolutely exceeded these expectations. Our photographer spent the entire day with us. The photos that resulted are amazing! We were blown away by the final product.We also ordered a photobook from Making the Moment and while we have not seen the finished product yet, we are confident it will be amazing.I would also like to say that their customer service is amazing. Emails and phone calls are answered almost immediately. Any problem or concern addressed and fixed. You were not be disappointed if you chose Making the Moment!!! Book now!

Words can't even begin to describe how impressed my husband and I were with Making the Moment. We had Brett for our wedding day and we felt truly blessed! He was such a great personality to add to our special day. And the pictures... wow. Words can't even begin to describe how happy we are. We'll treasure these memories forever. Thanks again Brett!

Great Service , Great quality, For not the same old wedding photography i would really recommend them. They give you wonderful unique photography. I love how they are with you all day to catch the moments between the big ones and that you get rights to all your photos so you can easily print what you want. Everyone that I've showed my photos to have loved them.

Brett, Your company is amazing and would recommend to all couples. Our photograpers from Making the Moment were Kyle and Christina. They were absolutely fantastic to work with - very professional and made us laugh. The photos my husband and I received were exactly what we wanted - some traditional but a lot of the others were the photojouralistic style - really capturing the moment. The Storybooks were wonderful - they are modern with a warm feel. Every photo tells a great story and we can relive that moment again. Our family and friends were in awe of the Story Books and just thought they were priceless. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Again I thank you and your team for making our day so special and recreating it with these photos. Warmest regards ~ Carleen
