We are proud to announce that were published in Grace's book "Being in love never goes out of style" and we also were invited to her fabulous book signing at the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills.. Mindy Weiss and Roberta Karsch help put this all star event for those who were lucky to be invited. I feel like we are part of a classy elite group of artist and this is so gratifying because we've worked hard for so many years to stand out. My wife and I shoot from our hearts and it truly has paid off and I owe her all the credit because she believes in me and pushes me every day of my life. We are so fortunate to have one another and we also get to celebrate almost eight years of photographing weddings together as a team and now we have the bragging rights to be published both in the magazine and Grace's first book. I couldn't have done it without you babe, XOXOXO

Recently I had the opportunity to shoot the most lovely couple flynn and Alpay. They decided to elope at the courthouse and decided that photography was important and I was the lucky guy. We shoot weddings of all sizes but it's always so gratifying when someone's expectations are exceeded. I want to thank them and also I want to share the kind words they wrote to me.

Brian, it's because of wonderful people like you that insane maniacs like me will continue to be last-minute wrecks and end up with truly fantastic results. I am SO beyond happy with the photos you took -- and aside from skill, you made us comfortable and were so fun to hang out with and that really comes through in the photos. I think the goofy ones where we're just messing around are some of my favorites.

I'm really just so pleased with the work you did. Thank you so much for your time, your awesomeness, and your ability to occasionally get the two of us to shut up and look normal. Moms are very pleased. A success all around!

Thanks again!

Flynn

This was a very special event because it was the last event we might ever shoot at Firestone Crossroads. We had a great time starting with Tonya Szele Event Planner • Soigné Productions; she put together an amazing event with Tricia Fountaine, who is a superstar in the floral world. We love events like this because there is no lack of detail. We hope this in not the end of this venue forever but I’m happy Sarin and Karni two very special people were able to seal the deal on this magical venue.

Firestone Crossroads has been a great canvas for us to express ourselves for many years. We built part of our portfolio here and have so many lucky couples that have been able to share their love stories on this majestic property. The rolling hills and oak trees paint a perfect backdrop and then the evening sunset paints the hillside and vines gold like a fantastic Chardonnay. We were often lucky to catch a full moon over the valley and it ads another dimension to the candlelit barn and to me this is a perfect conclusion to a perfect day.

I guess the loss of one venue opens other doors for another and we are pleased that Tricia has rebuilt a fantastic barn at Rancho Dos Pueblos. It’s going to offer a fantastic private beach for your ceremony and then move up to her rustic barn for the reception under the stars. We look forward to shooting there and creating a new body of work around Tricia and more amazing lovely clients.

Happy New Year! Brian Charrette

It's great being a photographer and dad but not always successful when you need a photo for your Christmas card. Don't ask why but it just seems your children know just how to ad more stress to the never ending list of things to do around the holidays. We got some cute images but it took lots of candy to bribe Jack, and Ryder is so young it's just takes luck. In the end we laugh and realize how lucky we are to have our boys.

Small intimate weddings are so special because you get to spend quality time with our couples. Jennifer and Aaron's priority was photography and we spend two hours shooting around the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica. I got hundreds of fun shots and had the best time.
I want to thank them for spending this time with me and will cherish it forever. Here is some of their wonderful words.

Hi Brian,

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

Aaron and I can't thank you enough for everything you did to help make our wedding day special. Your warmth, humor, and professionalism helped put us at ease and made us feel like models for a day. Thanks Aaron

Brian,

We got the photos!!! They're gorgeous!!! I just got done showing my favorites to my co-workers and they were all raving about your mad skills.

Thank you so much, Jen

I have to thank James Reid from Manifest Videography for introducing his partner Chaz. We connected immediately and were asked to travel to this very special place and document their beautiful event. Chaz and Brook are amazing artists and witnessing their vows will be cherished forever.

Thanks for letting me play. Brian
