Testimonials

“Tracy was a delight to work with.  She exceeded every one of our expectations.  She arrived early enough to capture some intimate wedding preparation photos, and she stayed late enough to get some awesome candid reception photos.  Tracy managed to capture each and every special wedding day moment, focusing not only on the wedding party but also on all of our guests, the decor, and of course, our cherished family members and friends, as well as the general ambience of the day/night.  The size of our wedding party was small, but Tracy patiently followed us to three different destinations where we wanted formal photos.  She captured hundreds of beautiful staged as well as candid photos, and I consider them all invaluable.  I would recommend Tracy to any couple desiring a friendly and professional wedding photographer who is willing to go the extra mile to capture all of your special and intimate wedding day memories.  Your special day goes by way too fast, and my husband and I are truly thankful we have these beautiful and lasting memories from Tracy to cherish for the rest of our lives.”

“My husband and I were married on September 12,2009 and used Tracy Brien as our Wedding Photographer.  We honestly could not have asked for a better experience!  I first met Tracy at the Monroeville wedding expo... if any of you have been there then you know there’s about 100 different photographers there to choose from.  Out of all of them she was the only one I could remember!  We had a massive wedding party of 25 (us and our flower girl and ring bearer included).  Tracy was able to keep everyone under control (children and drunk groomsmen included) and was extremely polite and professional.  During the ceremony we didn’t even know she was there.  She captured every moment of our wedding with perfection!  Our pictures were posted online within two weeks for us to look at and pick what we wanted to order.  Some company’s take several more weeks just to do that!  I feel that our pictures were more “In the Moment” instead of just posed which was something very important to us.  Our experience with Tracy was wonderful and because of her skill and professionalism we have photo memories to last us forever.  We would recommend her to any Bride and Groom in an instant!”

“Tracy Brien captured all the amazing moments of our wedding day perfectly.  She created beautiful photographs that we will cherish always.  We have both formal portraits as well as candid shots of us just “being us.”  When we got back from our honeymoon, I was a little sad that the wedding day was over,
but then I saw Tracy’s photos and realized I can relive that day anytime I want by gazing at my gorgeous
photos.”

“Tracy was fabulous to work with for our wedding.  She was easy going, great sense of humor, flexible, and easy to communicate with whether in person, over the phone, or by e-mail.  Leading up to the wedding, we did an engagement shoot, and when we saw the pictures, we were in awe at how genuine every image was.  Then at the wedding, she only exceeded our expectations.  She blended into the event in such a way that a couple of guests told us they saw the photographer once but were amazed to see themselves in several of the photos.  She even managed to get pictures of about every guest that attended.  Tracy’s ability to catch the perfect expression is truly amazing.  Through we did do posed shots, she always managed to catch the real moment, and it takes you back to the moment every time you
look at the pictures.”

“From the moment we met with Tracy, we knew that we had finally found the photographer we needed
for our special day. Tracy far exceeded any expectations we had by unobtrusively capturing not only the mood of our wedding, but also the spirit of our guests in her candid photos.  Arriving early and staying
until the DJ had played the last song, Tracy was able to photograph every detail, allowing the pictures to recreate those memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.  Her dedication and professionalism was
evident during the completion of our coffee table book. As an avid scrapbooker, I wanted to have a
hand in organizing the layout of this album. Tracy was open to suggestions and utilized my ideas and her own artistic ability to create what my husband and I consider a masterpiece!!  We strongly suggest to anyone in need of a devoted, affordable, and genuine photographer to consider using Tracy Brien’s services.  We look forward to working with Tracy again in the future when we encounter the next chapter of our life together.”

“A photographer should be professional, creative, and fun.  These are the qualities that describe Tracy
and her work. I’ve worked with Tracy since I was 8 months pregnant and she had to “push” me to bare
my belly for some pictures.  I am so happy she took charge and I trusted in her artistry.  She’s followed my son’s life in her work and I am so blessed to have had the opportunity over and over to have Isaac sit before her.  Her vision has never let me down and the shoots are always a lot of fun.  The pictures are
great quality and unique.  Tracy also shot my wedding and was able to take charge of a large wedding party and fire through all the traditional photos to maximize what little free time you get on your wedding day.  We had a lot of beautiful and heartwarming shots and many unique ones, as well as hilarious reception candids.  Service and personality is abundant in this woman and I look forward to seeing what else she can accomplish.  Tracy Brien has me as a customer for life.”
