Brian helped us out super last minute after we fired our photographer a week before our wedding! Brian jumped right in, traveled the distance, and took amazing photos. Brian was flexible, willing to listen and shoot any ideas that were given to him. Brian worked well with our videographer, and provided us with some sample photos and a USB drive in a very nice little box, great presentation! It did not take long at all to get this box and subsequently the digital access to all of our pictures! We would recommend Brian again and again! read more

What a wonderful experience from the moment I contacted Brian to do our family photos and my son's senior pictures. He responded right away, answered all my questions, payment was easy to do online, suggested the perfect location, was there early to look around for the perfect spots, very friendly, and got our pictures to us very quickly. I couldn't be happier, and would highly recommend HaleChannel Photography! read more

I bought a family photo shoot from my wife as a birthday present. It was a last minute birthday gift as I did not know what to get her. I found his website from a google search and I am glad I did. It was easy to pay for a session on-line. Then I printed a copy of his homepage and put it in a birthday card. The next day I got a call from Brian saying he had received payment for a family session. He then asked me what I was looking for. We decided on going to Look Park for the shoot as we like the outdoors; we got married there too so it was fitting. We made an appointment to meet at the park at noon. My family and I arrived at the garden house parking lot at 11:50. Brian drove into the lot at 11:52; he had already driven around the park to scope out some places that would make for good pictures. He was very punctual. We brought a few of our son's favorite stuffed toys and a blanket. Brian opened his trunk and surprised us with a set of balloons and a cute wooden chair for him to sit it. That was cool. We made the plan of parking by the visitors center and we would walk the loop of the park and take pictures as we go. You can see our photos on his website (http://proofs.halechannel.com/shade) Brian is very laid back and go with the flow kind of guy. We experienced no stress and no pressure with the photo shoot. We did not want a lot of posed pictures; we wanted more casual and laid back ones. Brian was very good at giving us that little bit of direction that made the photos look so much better. He listened to what we wanted and he helped us get exactly what we wanted. He seemed very knowledgeable about photography. I don't know much about photography, but he would explain to us the different lighting of the sun and knew what scenes made the best pictures. Brian was fun to work with, easy to communicate with (email, over the phone and in person) and he knew what he was doing. We really love his website. All the photos are available for everyone to see and you can buy all sorts of things with the pictures on them (prints of all sizes, coffee mugs, cards, shirts, stamps etc.) I highly recommend Brian for your photo needs. read more

Brian and Wendy did a fantastic job photographing our wedding. Brian communicated so well with us before the event and met with us to plan out all of the details and write up an itinerary and shot list so that when the day came we didn't need to worry about anything. He and his assistant took beautiful, elegant photos and got plenty of great posed and candid, fun shots- which is what was most important to us! They both arrived early in the day to take photos of us getting ready in the hotel, take posed girls shots, first look photos, wedding party photos, and ceremony and beyond. They were working for almost 12 hours! We really appreciated having all of the photos online where we could print them out or share them with friends and family. He is also compiling a physical photo album for us as we select our favorites. From start to finish we were thrilled with Hale Channel Photography. We've been familiar with Hale for many years, having seen their work at several friends' weddings, and we wouldn't have wanted anyone else for our special day! read more

We had Brian do both our wedding and our newborn pictures. Honestly I don't think we could be happier with both experiences. We shopped around a lot and Brian's competitive pricing, personable demeanor, and willingness to go the extra mile I think effectively make him "our photographer" from here out. You can't beat his prices for the quality and commitment he delivers. He shows up on time and with more equipment than he could ever need, and he's always got a lot of energy and ideas to make your experience exactly what you could hope for. Just fantastic and we are grateful to have found him. You will be too ! read more

Brian is a true professional. He had photographed my friends weddings and I knew that I wanted him to photograph our wedding. After our first meeting with Brian, my fiance was also immediately in agreement. You can sense Brian's passion about photography instantly. Leading up to the wedding Brian was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He provided us with a full photo shot list of all the formal photos we would be taking at the wedding. The day of the wedding Brian was there early taking photos of the venue, and he was able to capture every shot that I could have wanted. We are so happy with our wedding photos. Brian really told a story with our photos, and the formals and the first look photos are exquisite. Another huge plus, every photo was professionally edited and was quality. Brian doesn't whitewash his photos and all of them are clear and crisp. Additionally, Brian was able to photograph every single person who attended the wedding reception, which is something we are so grateful for because now we have at-least one photo of every guest who attended our wedding. I highly highly highly recommend Hale Channel photography. It is also a great value; I have spoken with others who spent double what we spent and they are not happy with their photos. We are so happy that all of our memories of our special day were captured by Hale Channel photography. If you want a creative photographer who is passionate about his work and is reliable and professional then you should book Hale Channel photography now! read more
