Artful Wedding Photography Rooted in Story, Elegance, and Craft
Meet Bradley Burckel, Fine Art Wedding Photographer
I'm Inspired by Painters, sculptors, designers, and architects...
This time in your life is full of excitement and anticipation. I remember my own wedding, 15 years ago, and the joy that came with the seeing of my beautiful bride for the first time at the ceremony and following celebration. (Now we have 6 children!). I am honored that you are considering me as your photographer.
With over a decade of experience photographing weddings across Europe and the United States, I’ve developed a timeless approach to storytelling through both digital and film. I take pride in producing an elegant and emotive collection for my clients. My position as photographer is unique. I get to experience the day, but also document its most cherished moments. This is a responsibility I do not take lightly. Thank you for considering me for yours.
Many photographers dabble in film usage, but do not commit to the process because it is more difficult and expensive. It requires a more comprehensive understanding of photography. It also requires one to trust oneself as a photographer.
Interested in a film package?
In my opinion, film photographs feel more deliberate and intentionally crafted than digital photography, and it excels in capturing natural light in a way that digital often struggles to replicate.
Why Film?
The use of film gives a soft, grainy texture and a rich, dynamic range of colors that evoke a timeless quality. This aesthetic often includes muted tones and natural hues, creating a refined, classic look.
What makes Film unique?
Film requires patience and a deep understanding of timing, lighting, and emotions. It is a medium that requires experience to make it shine. I have experimented with hundreds of camera, lens, and film stock combinations in thousands of situations. Interested? Please reach out for more info!
Experience and Approach
My
philosophy
Every wedding is unique, and the photos should reflect that.
My goal is to view every wedding as if it were my first, while drawing on my 10+ years of experience throughout Europe and the United States to curate a fresh, original collection. Each wedding has its own personality, and I prioritize having fresh eyes and a clear mind to discover the unique beauty of every wedding.
I want you to enjoy your wedding day! I understand that most people are not used to being photographed, and it is very important to me that you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. Creating a relaxing, natural photography process is a key part of capturing your day in the most seamless way possible. Let’s discuss your wedding and start developing a plan to create a uniquely timeless photography collection you’ll cherish for years to come.
