My wife and I had our pre-wedding photos taken by Brandon from 8 Studio and we honestly had such a great experience. The photos turned out beautiful and felt very natural and real. Brandon was easy to work with, very professional, and made us feel comfortable the whole time, which helped a lot since we're not used to being in front of the camera. He gave great direction without making anything feel forced, and the whole shoot felt relaxed and fun. We love how the photos came out and we're really grateful we got to work with him. Highly recommend Brandon and 8 Studio to anyone looking for great photos and a great experience. read more

Brandon is the BEST wedding photographer! I promise that you will get to feel thrilled and proud of yourself, like my husband and I do, for having chosen to work with him, because 8 studio transcended our already high expectations! Let me try and summarize everything about 8 studio in a few words: CINEMATIC, PROFESSIONAL, KIND. But if you have time for the longer review... PROFESSIONAL & CINEMATIC QUALITY: From our engagement shoot to the last shot of our wedding night, he and his team were professional, kind, and an absolute joy to work with. I caught little glimpses of them all throughout the night, going above and beyond to photograph all the elements of my wedding. He has an incredible eye for capturing cinematic, romantic, and breathtaking moments-- I'm telling you, every single photo feels like it belongs in a magazine. CREATIVE & TIMELESS PHOTOS: Looking through our wedding album, my husband and I are in complete awe. These photos are timeless, storytelling masterpieces that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives! Brandon pays such great attention to detail, has an artistic vision, and a calming energy that helped make us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. KIND & GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND: Not only was he unbelievably talented, but he was also generous with his time, energy, and creativity. His team worked seamlessly throughout the day, making sure every moment was beautifully documented without ever feeling intrusive. Looking back, Connor and I felt like someone was capturing our day through a movie lens!

This was the best decision we made for our wedding, and we can't recommend him highly enough! read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Brandon as our photographer for our wedding in Patagonia, Chile. TLDR: He was THE best singular decision we made. You will be so happy if you choose him! Working as an artist for Pixar, I've learned to develop an eye for spotting raw, talented artists, that have a unique vision and create artwork with strong aesthetic appeal. Brandon became my target; that risk in choosing him paid off tenfold. My husband and I spent a total of three days with Brandon (traveling to Patagonia from the US and doing our photoshoot) so we got to know him very well. In choosing Brandon for your special day, you will get a photographer who is: EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT: Initially, Brandon can come off reserved and quiet, but as he gets more comfortable, he is social and absolutely hilarious. He can also sense when a couple wants privacy and will be respectful, quiet, and independent. During photoshoots, he is proactive and knows how to make couples feel comfortable in order to get the best photos. COMMUNICATIVE: He responds promptly to messages. Overall, his communication style is direct, efficient, effective, and friendly. VERSATILE: I really wanted my wedding photos to look moody, but also look like they were out of a fairytale. I created a small Pinterest board to capture my vague style and vision. Brandon understood what I wanted immediately and delivered results even better than what I dreamed of! AFFORDABLE: Being anal in making sure I was making the right choice in a photographer, I shopped around. Within this price range, Brandon is by far the most affordable and has the highest artistic skill-level. You are going to get unique, beautiful photos that don't look like everyone else's wedding photos. His prices and value are a steal. KIND: Brandon is thoughtful in his actions. He's proactive and generous in offering help or solutions before you even know something is a problem. We felt deeply cared for. PASSIONATE: Brandon comes alive when he's taking photos. You can see the fire in his eyes. It's wild! He genuinely gets so excited when inspiration strikes and he executes his unique vision impeccably. He's confident in giving directions in order to achieve the vision agreed upon with the client. He's a natural and truly loves his craft. HARD-WORKING: The flight that we booked for Brandon from the US to Chile was canceled less than 6 hours before he was set to depart. During those 6 hrs, Brandon took the initiative to book another flight, which then got canceled again. Then booked a second flight, which also got canceled. Then decided to drive 3hrs to another city to catch a different flight out to Chile. Then turned the car around because he got called back for a previous flight that got cancelled and was no longer canceled. This was all to ensure he was there for our special day. Brandon is a fantastic problem-solver. This is just one example of how seriously he takes his craft and how dedicated he is to his clients. I'll let his photography skills speak for itself in these photos of my husband and I. We are so grateful to Brandon and his mad skills. We are recommending him to everyone we know, including you! You will not regret your choice in choosing Brandon! read more

Honestly the best photographer you can get for your wedding. He show up to our wedding before the scheduled time and do preparations works before anyone else. During our two days wedding, the weather was cold and raining. Brandon would run along with us back and forward, keeping a smile on his face while telling us to cheer up. Because of the rain, he came up with some beautiful shots which impressed so many people, myself included. During our reception, almost every small details was captured beautifully. Right after the wedding, the sneak peeks are literally available next day. He knows how much it means to us to be able to share these moments with our friends and family, and delivered them fully edited. By the time we got our full album, everything looked so gorgeous and every moments is captured from multiple angles, professionally speaking. The photos will help us relive our wedding for many years to come. Highly recommended Brandon Lai with 8 Studio! *5 for work ethic, 5* for the quality of the pictures being delivered and the last 5* for the professionalism you are getting. An extra * for Brandon's sense of humor! :)) read more

Oh my god. My husband and me really highly recommend Brandon he is so nice and the team works very effectively

Brandon is an absolute wonderful photographer. He did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Neither my husband nor I are very comfortable in front of a camera, but Brandon put us both at ease. The turn around to get pictures was very quick. After our engagement session we only waited a day or two and we had easily a hundred "sneak peak" photos edited and ready to use. This was particularly helpful as we had a quick engagement and needed to get invites out ASAP. And I love the way the photos turned out. We have a few of them up in our home. During our wedding there were a few last minute changes, as there tend to be with any big event, and Brandon adapted quickly and still managed to do an amazing job. He is very professional, easy to communicate with, and has a wonderful eye. After our wedding several of our guests commented on how great he was. We would recommend him without reservation. read more
