Hello!
I'm Brett Loie
(she/her)
To me, photographs will always be the most sacred way to record our history. I own one image from my grandparent's elopement, a black and white still of them kissing after they made it official. Even though both of them are no longer alive, I can feel all their love and souls come to life in that one photograph. That moment would have been lost to everyone else in the world, but it exists forever now because of photography. I think that's pretty freakin' cool, and it is such an honor to be able to call myself a preserver of memories.
I create colorful, emotion-filled photographs for you and your partner. While I absolutely live for the realness of the day, I also prioritize making sure you feel amazing & comfortable at all times.
The key to amazing photographs is communicating with your photographer, trusting their vision, and feeling confident in the way you look while they are photographing you. I am likely the perfect the photographer for you if you dig an editorial style; AND if you are looking for a photographer who can make you feel super relaxed and confident. As a person who dislikes having their photographs taken, I know how nerve-racking it is to be the center of attention all day. I'm here to help you crush the awkwardness & empower you.
LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, Black Lives Matter, & marriage equality is everything.
Outdated wedding traditions, stuffy ballrooms, overexposed photographs, & moody editing trends.
On my occasional Saturday off, you can 100% find me at a beach somewhere in Malibu.
Cuddling my cat until she is sufficiently annoyed with me.
I'm inspired by...
My cat, Ducky. I could photograph her bodacious little kitty bod every day... and I do.
Eclectic, colorful floral design. Hiring a creative wedding florist is a great way to elevate the aesthetic of your wedding or elopement.
Bold fashion choices. A Custom suit, a cool headpiece, or an off-beat wedding dress is a great way to infuse personality into your wedding day.
I'm inspired by...
Mid-century modern design... which is also one of my favorite things about Palm Springs wedding venues and homes.
Everything about California. I love the coastal views of Big Sur, and absolutely love the desert... especially Palm Springs & Joshua Tree.
Pops of bold color! If you're choosing a color palette with watermelon vibes or wedding in a boldly pink hotel like the Sands Hotel & Spa, I'm in.
I'm inspired by...
YOUR PETS. If your furry friend is your child, you are 110% my people. You will absolutely walk away from your wedding day with lots of dog pics.
An absolute rager of a party. I absolutely love it when your parents get sloppy and your friends keep insisting on shots.
Unstaged moments of utter wedding day bliss. This is what it's all about! Joy and laughter inspires me, and I can't wait to document yours.
