About Brandon Pickett Photography

Brandon Pickett

Owner/Photographer

I’m Brandon, a documentary wedding photographer based in Charlotte, NC. I photograph weddings with a candid, observant approach, focusing on the real moments, relationships, and atmosphere that make your day yours. I’ll give you direction when needed, but I won’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot. From quiet moments to wild dance floors, I want your photographs to bring you back to how your wedding actually felt. Available throughout Charlotte, the Carolina's and all across the East Coast. I shoot both digital + film for weddings.

I photograph weddings in a true documentary style. I spend about 20 minutes doing formal group shots, but the rest of the day I'm observing and documenting the day. Focusing on light, timing, composition and emotion. I also shoot some film at weddings, which gives your wedding photos a timeless look.

    Highly recommend!

    We chose Brandon Pickett Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Brandon was responsive and thoughtful about planning our day, offering timeline recommendations that made everything run smoothly. His artistic eye captured genuine moments between us and our guests in a way that felt natural and unforced. When we saw our photos from our wedding at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens, we were blown away—Brandon told the story of our wedding perfectly, from the big celebrations down to the quiet details we almost missed. His work is stunning, and he truly understood the vision we had for our day. We'd absolutely recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about both the craft and the experience.

    Amazing Photographer!

    From our first conversation with Brandon Pickett, we knew we had found our photographer. He stayed in touch before the wedding and even met with us in person to go over all the details, which made us feel completely prepared and at ease. On our full day at St. Mary's Chapel in Charlotte, Brandon had such a smooth presence that we barely noticed he was there capturing everything. His photos are absolutely stunning and totally unique—we will cherish them forever. Brandon communicated clearly throughout the entire process and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer.

    I reached out to Brandon, needing newborn photos ASAP. He responded quickly and was willing to move around his schedule to meet my needs. My wife and I are very glad he did because we absolutely love the photos he got of our boy. Baby's are hard to photograph when they are fussy, but Brandon was patient and had great ideas for poses for the photographs. I would recommend Brandon if you want authentic photographs for any occasion.

    Brandon is an excellent photographer! We hired him for our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out for both jobs. I was first drawn to his work on IG because his photos looked so candid and genuine. And now, having received the photos he took for our nuptials, I can confidently say that’s how he captured our day. There were several instances in which we didn’t even realize he was photographing us/other guests, this resulted in photos that had an unposed, refreshingly authentic feel.

    Thanks so much Carrie! Appreciate this review greatly! It was amazing working with you guys!


I do offer highlight video coverage. This is short 3-6 second clips through out the day edited together to tell a story with music.(no audio)
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a personal online gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints. I do offer rush turnaround for $600. This puts you in front of the line for editing and cuts the time down to 5-7 days.
You can expect about 40-60 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors. I focus on quality over quantity. I do this by intentionally taking photos, instead of bursting photos all day. This means your photos will have more emotion, story and intentionality.
Typically, couples book me about 8-12months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. Most weddings I can cover by myself to keep your cost down.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. You will receive all your photos in both b&w and color.
