JUST A FEW TENDER REFLECTIONS FROM THE OPPOSITE END OF THE LENS

LIZ + EHREN

I have done several family photo shoots with the amazingly talented Brooke Heikkila and her photos never disappoint. She is patient, professional and truly knows what to do, to capture all of the moments you want to hold dear. The pictures from our last shoot hold a special place in my heart because of where they were taken and they are both beautiful and breathtaking. There were so many good ones, it was hard to choose my favorites. Here’s just a few to show you how epic they turned out. Can’t wait to pick a location for our next shoot!

MEGAN + MATT

Brooke was not only a master behind the camera but also a true professional. She has such a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. Her photos speak for themselves. Each image is a work of art! She managed to encapsulate the emotions and create timeless memories that we will cherish forever.

COURTNEY + EVAN

From the moment I saw some of Brooke’s work I knew that I wanted her to shoot my wedding! She was so sweet and easy to work with! She pays attention to detail and captures everything so perfectly! Her work is amazing and I am forever thankful for the beautiful pictures to remember my wedding day!! Highly recommended Brooke for any photography needs, she will NOT disappoint!!

CATHERINE + ED

There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding and sometimes you look back and think “we could’ve done without that expense”. I look at the pictures Brooke took of us and I’m so grateful we came across her work and that she was available for our day. Our wedding pictures are pure perfection. Her vision and execution were so good. There’s a great combination of candids and posed pictures. There are some pictures that I’m stunned she was able to capture, dream shots that required her to be in the right place at the right time and she nailed it. I saw her work and knew that was the vibe we wanted, but more importantly she is confident in setting the artistic direction. I wasn’t a very decisive bride and it was extremely helpful that Brooke just knew what she was doing and didn’t need my input. In fact, she went above and beyond in offering me advice on the timeline and how to structure key parts of the day. She also helped us find our amazing videographer. Our venue included a photographer and it was 100% the right choice to opt out and choose Brooke instead. I love our wedding pictures and I feel so fortunate that I can say that – I know that’s not always the case and we owe it all to Brooke and her beautiful work.

AMANDA + OWEN

Brooke was a joy to work with on our wedding day!! Her energy and creativity for getting the perfect shots is incredible, and she made us feel right at home on the island. The photos were beautiful! We’re so thankful we chose her to capture our special day. Thank you Brooke!

JACKIE + SAM

Not only were the photos gorgeous, but she is responsive, phenomenally priced, and an overall lovely person. We had so much fun during our shoot and even more fun going through our photos. Her style comes across very natural and elegant. Highly recommend!

LIZ + WILLIAM

I cannot recommend Brooke enough. She photographed our wedding and was wonderful to work with and did a truly beautiful job of capturing the joy and beauty of the day.

She not only kept us, our families, and wedding party on schedule, but being pretty unfamiliar with posing and professional photography, she also helped us with posing guided us to so many gorgeous spots for photos. We have so many photos and memories we’ll cherish on forever. Thank you Brooke!

JESS + NATE

Brooke is a gem!!! She listened to our vision and executed it perfectly!! We are so extremely thankful for her service and expertise. Brooke did our engagement photos and wedding photos. She gets the most unique shots and can get all the pretty details! We are literally thrilled with the results!!!! HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY! We certainly will when we visit the island again : )

ALYSHA + ROB

Brooke Heikkila Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding! From the first meeting to the final photos, they were exceptional. Their talent, professionalism, and passion for capturing genuine moments made our day unforgettable. Highly recommend! Thank you, Brooke, for the beautiful memories!

SEAN + CATHERINE

Brooke did an amazing job! I opened our gallery and my eyes instantly filled with happy tears. I don’t think I’ve ever printed pictures so fast!

Brooke captured our personalities and this special season of life for us so beautifully. These are photos I’ll cherish forever!

SOPHIA + ERIC

I first saw Brooke’s photography I was so in love with the feeling she is able to capture in her photos and was so excited to have her be our photographer when we eloped. Brooke was flexible when we had to change locations last minute and up for a little hike out onto a beautiful point. Her energy was so loving, and so fun! She truly allowed us be in our love and bliss of the ceremony and as newly weds, and also balanced magically guiding us and inviting us into poses and framed settings that made for some of the most beautiful epic photos!!! She is up for adventures and we did some rock hopping and had the best time getting some really epic photos! She was quick to get us our preview photos which we really loved receiving the next day. We really appreciated her ability to be present with us and see through her lens the love we share and capture so beautifully the moments we get to look at and feel like we are right back there again in that moment. Brooke is amazing! We couldn’t recommend her enough! We’ll definitely be getting photos taken again with her for future photo shoots!

KATE + ETHAN

My family has worked with Brooke two years in a row and cannot say enough positive things about our experience with her or the quality of her photography. Brooke photographed us and our son (at 8 months and 20 months) and she made the process fun and comfortable. She captures the natural beauty of the islands and the most incredibly touching moments of joy and love between a family in a way that can only be described as pure magic. She is reasonably priced, flexible with scheduling and kept our son (and us) smiling and laughing the whole way through. 60+ of her photos adorn our walls today and I know that number will only grow with every trip — we will work with her every time we visit St. Thomas or St. John in years to come. Thank you, Brooke!!
