Hello, I'm Bryana

Wedding Photographer

I’m a North Carolina wedding photographer based in Kannapolis, and I believe your photos should bring you right back to how your day felt—the excitement, the happy tears, and all the little moments in between.


My love for photography started as a hobby and grew into something so much more. Since 2019, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories and creating images that couples can look back on for years to come. My style is classic and true-to-color, with a mix of candid moments and gentle guidance when you need it.


When I’m not behind my camera, I work as a fabricator for a NASCAR Cup team at Team Penske. It might be a little different from photographing weddings, but both let me create something I’m proud of. Outside of work, you’ll probably find me spending time with my dog, Asher, or looking for another reason to visit the Blue Ridge Parkway.


Whether you’re getting married close to home, in the mountains, or somewhere new, I’d love to get to know you and tell your story.

My approach

 

Your wedding day deserves to be remembered just as it happened—the joyful celebrations, the quiet in-between moments, and everything that makes it yours.


My approach is candid and documentary-focused, allowing moments to unfold naturally while I capture the laughter, happy tears, and connections you share with the people you love. When it’s time for portraits, I’ll offer posing guidance so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, while still leaving room for the natural moments in between.


With a classic, true-to-color editing style, my goal is to create photos that feel timeless and bring you back to how your day looked and felt for years to come.
