POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi I’m Brie — equal parts storyteller, adventurer, and coffee connoisseur. I’ve been married to my best friend for 10 years, and we share life with our spunky mini Australian Shepherd, Scarlett. My days are split between photographing love stories in breathtaking places, running our three coffee shops in Idaho, and planning our next escape to the ocean— Maui and Nantucket have my heart in a chokehold. And when I’m not behind a camera or in a coffee shop, you can find me lost in a good book …I’m still secretly wondering if I’d survive Threshing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether I’m fly fishing in the mountains, snowboarding fresh powder, or hunting down the perfect vintage designer piece on The RealReal (my other sport), I’m chasing beauty in all its forms. Travel fuels my creativity, and destination work lets me weave the magic of each place into the stories I tell.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a Delta Diamond Medallion gal (translation: I basically live in an airport), a chronic multitasker (yes, I needlepoint while watching TV), and someone who pours 100% of myself into the couples I photograph. You’re never just getting a photographer — you’re getting my heart, my energy, and my commitment to telling your story in a way that feels true to you.

Some love stories stay with you long after the invitations are mailed. This is one of them. 🤍

We began the exciting process of designing their stationery for their summer 2025 wedding. But in the middle of creating their invitation suite, everything changed when the bride’s dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma.

They made the difficult decision to postpone the wedding they had been planning and chose to get married privately so her dad could be there to see his daughter marry her childhood friend and love. In the middle of it all, the butterflies made their appearance.

After her dad passed, butterflies began to carry an entirely new meaning for them—a beautiful reminder of his presence.

When it came time to return to their stationery, we knew the butterflies needed to be part of it. We intentionally wove them throughout the details of the wedding day, creating small, meaningful reminders of her dad. It was a way to carry him with them through every part of the celebration.

This is why I will always believe stationery can be so much more than paper. It can hold memories. It can tell the parts of a story that words sometimes can't and honor the people we wish could be sitting beside us.

Being trusted with their stationery was an incredible honor and I am forever grateful to have played a part in their love story. 🦋🤍

Eliza & Joseph, married in Montana. 🏔️

Exquisite details, an incredible team behind it all, and a dance floor that may never fully recover.

But more than anything, these two. The kindest souls, so deeply in love, and such a joy to celebrate and photograph. Feeling incredibly lucky to have been a small part of this one.

Yellowstone Club, you were one for the books.

We are officially in my favorite time of year! I’m rewatching “Gilmore Girls”, hot lattes start the mornings, the leaves are changing colors, and the evenings are the perfect soft autumn glow. Is there really anything better than the “ber” months? I think not!

Some wedding days stay with you long after the last photograph is taken. Haley & Granger’s story is one I know I’ll carry with me for the rest of my career. 🤍

I first met H & G over two years ago for their engagement session, which, to this day, is still one of my favorites I’ve ever photographed. During that session, Haley asked if we could also take a few photographs with her family. Her dad had recently been diagnosed with glioblastoma, and those photographs suddenly held a weight none of us could have fully understood at the time.

As the following spring approached and wedding plans were taking shape, her dad’s illness progressed, and Haley & Granger made the incredibly difficult decision to postpone their celebration.

That summer, Haley called me with a different plan.

Would I come to their family home in Newport Beach and photograph an intimate ceremony with just their families?

Of course.

Haley wore her mom’s wedding gown. They exchanged vows surrounded by the people they loved most, with her dad there to witness it. We spent the most beautiful evening together, and I knew even then that I was photographing something far bigger than a wedding. It remains one of the greatest privileges and most treasured memories of my entire career.

And then, finally, this summer: Sun Valley. 🦋

The celebration they had waited so long for.

Haley’s dad was woven into the weekend in so many thoughtful ways, including butterflies that appeared throughout the celebrations. His presence was felt everywhere.

But more than anything, this weekend was filled with JOY. So many smiles. So much laughter. So much love. After everything it took to arrive here, no one took a single moment for granted.

Somewhere over these last two years, I stopped feeling like just Haley & Granger’s photographer. I feel like I’ve become a tiny part of both of their families, and it is something I treasure more than I can say.

H & G, I hope you weren’t planning on getting rid of me after the wedding, because I’m afraid you’re stuck with me now. 🤍

What an honor it has been to tell this story.

Congratulations, Haley & Granger. At long last. 🦋 taken in Trail Creek Cabin by @brie.thomason

A little peek at the girl behind the camera ♥️

When I’m not photographing weddings, you can usually find me chasing whatever sounds fun: fly fishing, making coffee, reading a great book, shopping (a sport in its own right), traveling, or hanging with my favorite people.

I love what I do, but I also really love the life I get to live in between. On duty & off duty. taken in Sun Valley, Idaho by @brie.thomason
