CLIENT LOVE

Jordan M.

She was great leading up to the wedding available anytime to answer questions and brainstorm. The day of she was truly AMAZING! As the bride I felt like she was there for me and to capture the best parts of our day. She was incredible from start to finish. When we got our photos back I couldn’t believe how perfect they were! I could not have asked for literally anything more. They were everything I wanted and so so much more! There cannot be a better photographer to capture your special day!

Five stars is not enough to rate Brenda!

HANNA R.

She was an absolute delight to work with. From first point of contact she was enthusiastic and willing to cater to our needs...One of the most amazing parts about Brenda’s work, which is testament to her caring, hard working nature is “ on the day of the wedding, it is your day and therefore she will Photograph all the moments you want her to”. Many other photographers will charge hourly rates, whereas Brenda will capture your entire day. At our wedding she must have come close to a 12 hour day!!! After the wedding Brenda was so efficient with editing and producing our portfolio, within a couple of weeks we had our photos. I have to say, once my wife and I received them, not only was every single moment of our day captured, the photos were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! We could not have been any happier with our photos, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking. She is a genuine, lovely person who caters to YOUR needs on YOUR day and delivers absolutely amazing photos.

It’s actually hard to express in words how impressed my wife and I were with Brenda

Jasmine I.

She is very prompt with her communication and makes sure no detail is left out. I’m so happy with how authentic my photos turned out, and her schedule’s flexibility made for such a stress free wedding day. Highly recommend!

Brenda made everything feel so relaxed and like I had known her for years.

KATIE K.

She was so personable in every aspect of wedding photo planning. She was detailed when planning which took a lot of stress away from us. She kept in contact with us during the months leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was still perfect for us. The wedding day with Brenda was amazing… It felt like she was a close family member and I loved that aspect! She is intelligent when it comes to ideas, poses, lighting and what is going to really make every photo special and beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend her as she is truly the best. Thank you, Brenda!

Brenda is wonderful!

Tammy N.

I can always count on Brenda to keep me relaxed & having fun while taking pictures, while also knowing she accepts nothing but the best quality and I can trust her creative eye. I highly recommend Brenda for any of your special events!

She is simply the best ever.

CINDY M.

We knew Brenda would pay attention to detail and produce beautiful pictures like she has for so many years. She has a bubbly personality so she makes everyone feel comfortable and makes picture taking fun! We had unexpected rain that day but she was so creative with the indoor pictures. We've had so many compliments on the engagement and wedding pictures, all thanks to Brenda, a True Professional.

There was no doubt who we wanted to have capture our daughter's special day.

SIDNEY L.

She was organized with everything from our engagement session, to our first look, throughout our ceremony and reception, to the moment she left at the end of our special day. Her offered packages and experience don’t compete with anyone else. She was truly phenomenal to work with! If I could do it all over, I would choose Marque Photography by Brenda Shank over and over again!

Brenda was a godsend for our wedding.

DENA D.

Brenda is very precise and always right where she needs to be to capture the best moment of your special day. She takes great pride in her work and you will observe this with the final product. We are still in awe over the pictures that she took for our son and daughter-in-laws wedding. You will not be disappointed if you choose Marque Photography.

Marque Photography is beyond the best choice you could make for your photography needs.

KATE G.

...for her work on our wedding day and during our engagement shoot. She is incredibly creative and very experienced, and we received the most amazing portraits! She creates such a fun atmosphere while keeping the day running smoothly. She is also wildly talented at capturing every moment so beautifully and is quick to think on her feet if something isn't working out quite right. We could not recommend her more!!

We cannot give enough praise to Brenda...

AMY J.

She's the most comprehensive photographer I've ever seen, and I've been in SEVERAL weddings. She's so personable and makes the day fun, yet organized and on task when it comes to pictures. We've seen the sneak peaks and OH MY! Her creativity is above and beyond! She thought of things I've never seen or heard of. I would HIGHLY recommend Brenda @ Marque Photography. She's affordable, fun, organized and creative!
