Brandon Shafer
I’m BrandoHi! I’m Brandon! I am a natural-light photographer who specializes in wedding photography. To be quite honest, I never imagined myself becoming a wedding photographer – I always thought I was more of the astronaut type. I picked up my first camera less than a decade ago, so I could get into local concerts for free. I never imagined I would eventually have the opportunity to travel across the world sharing my passion for art and photography. When I am not working on photography, you can find me leading workshops and educating at my other awesome job, Apple. I was born and raised in West Michigan, and have always had a love for the great outdoors, traveling and exploring. From the bridges of London to the beaches in Aruba, I have been to 8 different countries, 38 US states, and even traveled on the same plane as Gene Simmons of Kiss!
I started getting tattooed at the age of 18, and now have 3 large tattoos covering my arms and chest. My beautiful wife Kari and I have a wonderful family with 2 dogs and a wonderful, 8 year old daughter who took my stellar head-shots you see above! My goal is to provide couples with intimate, tailored photo sessions that capture the beauty of the day and the couple, highlighting their personalities and relationship. I would categorize my style as sleek and contemporary, able to adapt to various backdrops and settings. I can take your background and capture it in a beautifully modern and personalized way.
