Brandon Schmidt

My name is Brandon and I own and am the principal photographer for FotoVitae. I started FotoVitae in 2006 and specialize in wedding and 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).
