In short, I’m here to help! I approach weddings as more than just a photographer. I'm here to guide you to the wedding photos of your dreams. Ideally, you are only going to plan a wedding once, and I have done this a bunch, so I can help you plan a wedding day timeline. This doesn't mean that you won't need a wedding planner or someone to help with all other details of your wedding day. I want to make getting beautiful wedding photos as easy as possible for you. I’m going to bring all of my knowledge and creative energy to your wedding day, but I promise not to treat your wedding day as a photoshoot. Weddings aren’t photoshoots. THEY ARE YOUR WEDDING DAY.

I could write a novel about why photos are important and priceless! In short, your memory fades really fast. Capturing these important moments in time help preserve those memories. Looking back on photos is an easy way to remember how you felt when your partner looked at you while you were walking down the aisle, or what your kids' toes looked like when they were six months old. Photos immortalize all the important details about your love and your story.

I primarily photograph traditional weddings and engagements, but I also photograph adventure sessions, elopements, micro-weddings, small weddings, families, senior graduations, newborns, maternity, and headshots. I also do architectural photography (commercial architectural interiors and exteriors).

This may come as a surprise, but EVERYONE is awkward in front of the camera. My goal during the session is to use guided poses and prompts to get you and your partner to loosen up and feel like yourselves, and most importantly to have fun. You might even forget I'm there for a second! Stiff images don't show real emotion, so candid photos are my end goal from every session. Even if you feel awkward the whole time while my camera is in your face, I promise the images won't reflect that. Browse through the galleries to see proof of other awkward people in front of my camera.

For weddings, I strive to deliver your final gallery within 4-6 weeks of the wedding day. For all other session types, I will try to have your photos ready within 3 weeks of the session date. I know you are super excited to see your beautiful images, and I am excited to get them to you, but a lot of work goes into choosing the best photos from your day and editing each photo so that they all look cohesive and stunning. Trust me, it's worth the wait.

I deliver your photos in a password protected online digital gallery where you have the ability to download all of the professionally-edited high-resolution photos. I highly recommend that you download all of the high-resolution files from your gallery at your earliest convenience before the gallery expires. I also recommend that you back up the digital files in a secondary location, such as on a flash drive, external hard drive, or on the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, and icloud are good options) for permanent safe keeping.

For weddings, the number of photos in your final gallery depends on how many hours I spend photographing your wedding. An average number of photos that I deliver for weddings is about 85 photos per hour, so for an 8-hour wedding you would receive around 680 photos. For engagement or family sessions, the average number of photos that you can expect for a 1-hour session will range from 75-150 photos. The final number of photos varies based on circumstances of the session, such as weather, the schedule, and the number of people involved.

For weddings, you will have guaranteed access to your private digital gallery for 1 year after your wedding date. For all other sessions, you will have guaranteed access to your gallery for 6 months after your session date. When the gallery expires you will no longer have access to your photos online. I recommend downloading the high-resolution files and backing them up for long term storage.

Yes!!! I would love it if you would tag me in any photos you share on Instagram or Facebook. Also, please do not alter, crop, or edit the photos in any way (such as using filters). I work hard to color grade your photos so that they are perfect and adding filters significantly alters my original work.

Yes! You can order prints (at an additional cost) directly from your digital gallery. I highly recommend using the print service connected to your gallery to ensure the highest quality of prints from my tried and tested print lab. Don't leave your beautiful photos trapped on your computer, order prints to display in your home or give as gifts!

I highly recommend ordering prints from your gallery before it expires to ensure the highest quality of prints from my tried and tested print lab. However, if your gallery has expired and you want to order prints using your downloaded high-resolution digital files, I recommend online services such as Shutterfly or White House Custom Color for good quality prints. Matte finish is my favorite! Don't leave your beautiful photos trapped on your computer, order prints to display in your home or give as gifts!

I recommend that you back up your downloaded high-resolution digital files in at least two locations, such as on your computer, flash drive, external hard drive, or on the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, and icloud are good options) for permanent safe keeping.

I shoot on the Nikon camera system and I always bring three camera bodies and multiple lenses to each shoot, so I always have a backup if something were to fail.

Yes, a non-refundable retainer that is 35% of your total booking fee is required when the contract is signed to lock in your date.

I ask that you pay a deposit when you sign the contract to lock in your date. The deposit is non-refundable and is 35% of your total booking fee. The deposit will be put toward your final balance, which will be due in full 30 days before your wedding day. I am happy to accept payment via cash, check, credit card, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Paypal.

HECK YES!! I am based in Madison, WI but am available worldwide. A travel fee will be charged for travel distances further than 20 miles from Madison. The travel fee will vary based on the location in question. ​

HECK YES. Love is love. End of story.

Brianna Kraft Photography proudly supports the LGBTQIA+ community and same sex couples and does not discriminate against race, religion, age, or body type.

A lot of work goes into your wedding photos, not just the day of shooting. These things include but are not limited to: post production (culling and editing), travel time, consultations, meetings, timeline review, emails, questionnaire responses, and equipment (I always make sure I have backup equipment on hand the day of your wedding. If anything breaks, I can continue to photograph the day).

Beautiful photos of you and your family are an important investment. These photos will be timeless and can capture the memories of your special day or simply a precious moment in time.

Yes, please! If you had an awesome experience working with me (which I hope you did) I would really appreciate if you could take the time to write a review of your experience on my Facebook Page on Google or on Wedding Wire.
