    Brian was a pleasure to work with. Incredibly flexible in everything and it felt more like working with a friend than a vendor. He's incredibly responsive over email - we live abroad and so that was particularly helpful in the set-up when dealing with time differences etc. Without us even asking he suggesting visiting our venue before the wedding since he hadn't been there before and got in touch with our priest to see if there was anything he should know. He took loads of pictures and captured most of the moments but didn't get in the way or make us feel uncomfortable at all. We have fantastic documentation of the day and some great portraits which we can't wait to put up. Most of all, even after the wedding when fees were already paid, he was still super responsive, got us our pictures so quickly, sent them all the way to the Philippines, got my parents an extra copy when they asked for it. The wedding world is full of vendors who are good but also try to ring you for every dollar because they know its your 'special day' - Brian felt like he was on our team and looking out for us, not trying to take advantage of us. I would highly recommend him.

    Drouin Photography is great. Brian took amazing photos of our reception and really captured the event. He was easy to work with and very easy to get a hold of. Additionally, Brian got us the photos within 2 months of our wedding.

    Brian was one of the best decisions we made with regards to our wedding, he was extremely professional from first consultation to the wedding itself (plus took amazing photographs!) I can't recommend him highly enough!

    Brian did an amazing job at our wedding! He took SO many photos, but he always managed to be in the shadows and was completely unobtrusive. he did a nice job of getting shots of everyone at the party, and he captured all of the "big" stuff as well as getting some great candid shots. I also really appreciated how he got great pictures of the guests and also terrific pictures of the venue, centerpieces, food, etc. I'm so glad we left everything to Brian! I can't recommend him highly enough!

    Brian is a must have! We felt at ease with him from the very first meeting and new he would be a great part of our day. Not only did he photograh our wedding and reception, he also met us the day before and photographed our small private service. When our friends saw our photos they made the comment "Brian was everywhere - and we never saw him". We will be using him the next time we get - I probably shouldn't have said that!!

    Having Brian as the photographer for my wedding was one of the easiest decisions I made! He is incredibly personable and easy to work with. He was light on his feet and completely unobtrusive. He took the engagement pictures as well as the wedding & reception pictures and I loved them all. If you want to set aside your fears that you might not get all the pictures you're looking for, hire Brian. I completely forgot to give him a list of "must-haves" and looking my album now, I can't think of a single picture I would have asked for that Brian didn't get! Two thumbs up. :)

    Brian did a great job for our wedding. He was professional, flexible and receptive. We started with some posed shots, but throughout the rest of the day had wanted mainly candid images from the venue and of our guests. Brian was able to capture some great moments from the event and looking back on them, i love the fact that there is energy to them. the photos came out great - the colors were livid and the images were crisp. He was so helpful and very service-minded. Great person to work with!

    I cannot say enough good things about this amazing photographer! He is so talented and very unobtrusive on your wedding day, yet able to get some of the most beautiful pictures. Brian has a great eye and captured some of the most unique moments of our wedding day in a creative way. We also loved working with Brian who has a very relaxing attitude and personality. I prefered to not have too many formal pictures, and instead asked Brian to focus on the more candid pictures of people enjoying themselves at our reception. He was the perfect photographer for this as he was able to capture so many fantastic moments and leave me with beautiful pictures of an amazing day. Brian is very affordable and was extremely responsive during the planning process. A bride could not ask for more!!

    Brian was a true professional. He was able to create a friendly environment and still get the job done. He was open to suggestions and was happy to accommodate our requests. I highly recommend him to future brides & grooms!

    Brian was a great addition to our wedding and our guests had a great time with him. He was able to document the full weekend of our wedding, which was invaluable. Our photos turned out great.

    I would highly recommend Brian as a wedding photographer. He was the photographer for my wedding in August 2008 and I couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out. I have a set of several hundred beautiful photos to remember my wedding by in an album and during the wedding and reception hardly noticed the photographer taking pictures of everything. I also have some beautiful photos with my husband, bridal party, and family. Prior to my wedding Brian met with us twice and was also very quick to answer questions and help us in our decisions. I loved that we received the images on a DVD in addition to the print proofs.

    He's very accomodating and easy to work with. He'll captures moments of the party that you won't even be realize were happening, but you'll be grateful to see. I think you can't go wrong with him.

    Brian did a phenominal job! He produces a great balance between posed and candids. The candids he did - especially the black and whites - are honestly the most creative and fun I've seen compared to other wedding albums I've looked at. He's a hard worker - the opposite of a slacker - and will bend-over backwards to surpass your expectations.

    As the groom and as a photographer myself, I am very pleased that we chose Brian. Both my wife and I scrutinized several photographers and their portfolios, Brian just seemed to be the right choice. Brian took the time to get to know what we wanted, and to get to know us. As a photographer, I took Brian's "getting to know us" as a very effective tool to anticipate our actions the day of. The shots that I was really hoping for were captured, and we had no idea where he shot them from, his website description was dead on "un-obtrusive".

    The preview shots that Brian sent over were amazing. Brian was able to use the lighting and the fall foliage and incorporate them dramatically into several shots. This was more evident when we recieved the final images, his work was more than I expected and anticipated. I am glad we did the research and find a great photographer, and one who took the time to get to know his client, and get to know us as people, at no time did we feel like we were just another wedding for him to do, he took the job very serious, and made us feel like he was part of the family.

    Brian is exactly the kind of photographer you would want, talented, funny and not at all in your face! He had great ideas for photos but was also very polite when bossed around by my maid of honor, mother and even me! The pictures turned out fantastic, as he has an eye for the perfect shot! Thanks for everything, Brian!
