My name is Brandon and I own and am the principal photographer for FotoVitae. I started FotoVitae in 2006 and specialize in wedding...d engagement photography. Personally, I shoot between 25-35 weddings per year. While I'm based outside of Portland, OR, I shoot throughout the Pacific NW and Alaska. Of course, I'm also open to travel for destination weddings around the country and world.
My interest in photography started in high school and I eventually ended up studying photography in Johannesburg, South Africa; focusing on wildlife photography at the time. I've since realized that interacting with people is what makes the job great and I can truly say that I love what I do. Aside from studying photography, I also recieved my bacholors degree in business administration from the University of Oregon. I focused on entrepreneurship which has been an incredible asset as a small business owner.
While I was in Eugene for those 4 years, I met my future wife and we eventually married in August of 2006. Sunshine & I were married at a small cabin we built in Yaak, Montana and that's where we spend most of our free time and where I still take time to capture wildlife.
Last year Sunshine and I started our family and we now have beautiful twin boys, Abdur & Nursun. Fatherhood is a lot of work but an incredible adventure. I should also mention our furry children Kootenai (our cat) & Zulu (our Doberman).

In Idaho, wedding photography choices abound. With its 83,574
square miles of outdoor beauty, Idaho offers backdrops of rivers,
woodlands, and rolling hills for the bride and groom to choose
from. This state boasts of having a 'mighty big backyard' providing
very scenic locations for your Idaho wedding. Depending on
your wedding location, the couple or members of the wedding
party might enjoy a mellow afternoon ride through downtown
on the Boise River or head north to the Payette River for a
more exciting run. Before or
after the wedding, guests may enjoy fishing or rafting on one
of the many white water rivers Idaho has to offer. If you'd
like to have your wedding in the mountains of Idaho, your wedding
photos might include the beautiful tunnels and trestle bridges
in the higher elevations. With these backdrops unique only
to Idaho, wedding photographers will be able to take advantage
of these
natural settings.
Because of the beautiful green grass and rolling hills in Idaho,
golf courses are found throughout the state. If you choose
to have your wedding at one of the many award winning country
clubs in Idaho, wedding photojournalists will enjoy the elements
these well groomed facilities add to their images.
