I'm Brandon, the owner & lead-photographer at FotoVitae. People often ask what the best part of my job is; for me, my favorite moment is when I receive that joyful email after I've sent out the link to my client's wedding gallery. My goal, with every image I capture, is to evoke an emotional reaction from the viewer...this fuels my passion as a wedding photojournalist!
Located in Portland, Oregon, I photograph 35+ weddings each season throughout the PNW. My small studio is located in St. Johns and I would love to schedule a time to learn more about your upcoming wedding and showoff more of our work. If you're not local, Skype/Facetime work great too.
Before I started photographing weddings full-time, I studied photography at The School of Photo in Johannesburg, South Africa after receiving my undergrad from the University of Oregon (entrepreneurship). At the time, I pictured (again, pun-intended) myself as a traveling-wildlife-exploration type photographer. As much as I love nature, and I do, it is MUCH more fulfilling to work with people and to record their moments & memories.
When I'm not taking photos, you'll find me hiking with my wife, kids, and doberman in Forest Park. If we're not there, we are camping at one of our breathtaking national parks (we have visited over 20!) or relaxing at our cabin in NW Montana.
