What Couples Say After Their Wedding (That You Might Not Expect)
By Brandon Allan Photography – Nashville & Charleston
You plan everything down to the last detail.
But what couples remember most after the wedding?
It’s not always what they thought they would.
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to document stories that span cities, cultures, and totally different vibes — but the feedback I get is often the same. As a Nashville wedding photographer and Charleston wedding videographer, I’ve had the privilege of documenting a huge variety of wedding days — from city elopements to coastal celebrations.
Curious what it’s like to have me as your photo + video team?

Here’s what couples tell me after their wedding is over:
💬 1. “You caught moments I didn’t even see.”
Weddings move fast.
You can’t be everywhere at once — but I can be close. Close to the hug your mom gave you when you weren’t looking. Close to the moment your partner took a deep breath before seeing you for the first time.
Real moments. Quiet ones. The ones that matter.

💬 2. “We didn’t feel posed at all — but somehow we look amazing.”
That’s the balance I aim for every time:
Direction that feels natural. Presence that feels comfortable.
You being you, not a version of you in a Pinterest shot list.
💬 3. “You made us feel like we could actually relax.”
You’ll hear this a lot from my couples — not because I’m passive, but because I handle the day with calm intention.
I don’t rush things. I don’t add pressure. And I don’t compete for moments.
I guide when it’s needed and step back when it’s not. Simple.

💬 4. “The video made us cry.”
If you book me for both photo and video, prepare for this.
Not because I’m trying to pull at emotions — but because I shoot with intention, and I edit with honesty.
The way you looked at each other.
The voice crack in your vows.
The dance floor chaos.
It’s all in there.
💬 5. “We felt seen.”
Not just captured.
Seen.
That’s the difference between documenting a day and documenting a story.
And that’s what I do — every time.
Final Thoughts
What couples take away from their wedding isn’t always the decor, the playlist, or even the portraits.
It’s how it felt.
If you want someone who’s going to capture that — in a way that’s cinematic, calm, and true to you — I’d love to talk.
