Lake Como through the lens of film. When I tell you there is a depth here that brings me back, you just have to believe me. As the person who experienced these moments and saw them with my own eyes receiving these moments back from a lab did so much more in transporting me than any other photos I took. Some of my favorite family photos were taken on film that are printed, sitting on my desk waiting to go in frames. Beyond the faces and feelings, I fell in love with the architecture of Italy. It inspires me in so many new ways every single time. Traveling to a new country allows me to immerse your wedding album in the culture and feeling of it all.

This is what it’s all about. The ones you love, the joy and happiness that comes together when everyone is in the same room.
Celebrating Molly + Luke was and will always be effortless. The night before you say “I do” should be surrounded by the roads that brought you to one another and that’s exactly who everyone in this room was. The old stories, the laughter and the anticipation for what’s to come. Our family is so lucky to now have Luke , truly it’s like he has always been here. I love you so much Molly and will be cheering you both on forever 🫶🏻

A moment for the little things created with intention. What goes into design that leaves you as a guest feeling immersed and completely thought of? It’s a million small things that go into telling one very large movement that surrounds you throughout the day. The trend isn’t big and better. It’s purpose and reason and because the heart of intention is in the design of your day- it, in turn, feels bigger and better. I love storytelling the parts of the day whose stories actually started long before. Your love story yes, but also the hours of thought planning and ex*****on that was built with such care. It’s inspiring to photograph.

Full wedding days on film are some of the most prized moments from the day. Un edited and fully the moment in which they lived it. Bella + Xavier’s day was meant to be remembered this way. Congrats you two 🫶🏻

I honestly adore a groom moment. It’s his day too, and guys can bring the vibes in ways only they can. Especially when they decide to dress in a way that communicates who they are.
Loving this Ralph Lauren suit paired with Prada loafers and a vintage cameo broach.

I’m still recovering from last night, folks.

Megan + Matthew brought the energy, the vibes and endless good times. Everything felt laid back, a little wild and full of sweet moments. These two are absolutely obsessed with one another and I can see why.

Literal perfection.

Congrats you two. Party on.

Hi, I’m Brooke.

Every so often I think it’s important to reintroduce myself, but this time I wanted to share more than what I do.

I wanted to share a little of why I do it the way I do.

The older I get, the more I understand that so much of who I am behind the camera was formed long before I ever picked one up.

My faith.
My family.
The art I grew up loving.
The life I have lived.
The people I have loved.
The people I have lost.
And a deep belief that being present for our lives matters.

Photography has given me a way to bring all of those pieces together.

I get to make art, but more importantly, I get to make something that will outlive the moment in which it was created.

Something you can hold.
Something your family can return to.
Something that may mean even more to someone fifty years from now than it does today.

I don’t take that lightly.

So, I’m Brooke.

A wife.
A mother.
A believer.
An artist.
A photographer.
A person who will probably make you laugh when things get too serious and cry right alongside your mom during the dances.

And someone who feels incredibly grateful that this is the work I get to do.

The kind of spaces that inspire me are the ones that feel like living art. Filled with layers and intention and the ability to stare for hours at it’s depth. Greencrest Manor has been a dream location and I am ever so thankful for their gift of hospitality. To bring fellow creatives together to get back to our roots of connection and inspiration.
A European escape in the Midwest should absolutely be added to your list. Weather for a venue or a place to host family you will leave inspired.

100% chance of rain didn’t stand a chance against the two of you.

The clouds held back all day, but the tears, the laughter, and the love poured out from every corner of Nazareth Hall. Every moment was a reflection of the people who have walked alongside you and the life you’re building together.

Sophia + Tyler, what a beautiful beginning. So much love for you both
