If this is your first time on our site, we specialize in photographing high end weddings and interesting people.  Despite living in a digital age, we primarily shoot with film because its natural look allows us to stand out. This past year we traveled to Charleston, South Africa, New York and Las Vegas among others.  However, the A Bryan Photo studio is located in Birmingham, Alabama, and it provides a great place for our team to perfect our craft and meet with clients.

We are excited about the new features of this site, which was beautifully crafted by Machstic.  The site will allow our clients to enjoy more of their images and provide a platform for our entire catalogue of work.  Although our new site is comprehensive, you can see our work featured in PDN's Top Knots, and we were also selected as a member of Grace Ormonde's Wedding Style's Platinum List.

Thanks for your time and attention.  We don't take it for granted and look forward to providing you with more great photos and interesting stories in the future.

Cheers!

Kandis & Eric



Kandis and Eric...let's just say wow. Rob and I were blown away by their love, their family, their energy... and their incredible taste in music (seriously guys, I want a mix tape of the ceremony music)! Above is one of our favorite polaroids from the day.

Congrats!

Peace. - Caleb

Site Down!

Sorry to all of you who have tried to view your galleries today and can't get it to load. My hosting company is obviously having issues and we are trying to get to the heart of the problem quickly. Thanks for your patience!

John Dolan Workshop in New York!


John Dolan's work has been such a strong influence in my life for most of my professional career. He was the first photographer that instilled in me that shooting weddings doesn't make you a second rate photographer. John shoots a number of weddings a year while maintaining a high amount of editorial (Self, Real Simple, Travel and Leisure, etc) and advertising (Lexus, Hearts on Fire, Sundance, etc) clients. His wedding work also reminds me constantly that shooting film at weddings remains a good idea. I found out a few weeks ago through our friend Heather Anne Thomas that he was doing a wedding workshop in New York with Holger Thoss and jumped on the opportunity to go. Caleb and I will both be attending this workshop in late July and there are still spots available. If you are available for a trip to New York and are in need of a week of inspiration, please come join us! It's at the International Center for Photography, click HERE for information about the workshop.

Side Note:
The workshop is at night from 6-10 pm, leaving time for shooting during the day! If anyone is interested in a session with me in NYC during the week of July 28th-August 1st, contact me and we will work out the details. Since we are up there already, the prices will be reasonable.
Here's a few shots from some sessions in New York this past Christmas:



Kathleen & Chris Wedding is Live



What a relaxed and special day for Kathleen and Chris. I look through the images and can't help but be thankful for being part of a day filled with so much joy. You two are so freakin' cool! We really hope you come and hang out with us when you visit Birmingham!

Can this be real?



My good friend Yvette Roman sent me this clip and its pretty amazing. I'm still trying to figure out if its real or not. I can't imagine someone being this disrespectful of a service, but then again I've heard of some crazy first hand experiences. Has anyone seen anything this absurd? I think my favorite thing about it is that the dude is wearing frayed jeans

I'm a believer that some moments are better as a memory than as a photograph, especially if taking a photograph compromises the integrity of that moment.

Christine & Ashby's Wedding is Live









I love this wedding, partly because I have become friends with these two since they booked last year and partly because their reception was one of the most fun parties I've ever been apart of. Their band was a Rolling Stones cover band who have never played a wedding. They brought the house down and Ashby was on stage most of the night, as a stand in lead singer:

Ginger & Will



Here are a few quick shots from my amazing wedding this weekend. I cannot wait to see the film from this beautiful event.
For now, here are a few of my favorites!

Meg & Kyle



Rob and I just got back from Meg and Kyle's wedding. What an incredible day! I can't wait for the film to get in. Until then, enjoy this rough, but favorite polaroid of the nights (I love the grain and contrast of this!).

Kandis and Eric are Getting Married!


...in 9 days!!

This morning, I met up with the two of them at Urban Standard for breakfast. We had a good time chatting, and we are all pretty excited about their wedding (however, I think they are a little more excited than I am (aka, Eric couldn't keep his eyes off of her))!



Peace. - Caleb
