# briannakirkphotography.com > ## Brand & Style **Brianna Kirk is one of Minnesota’s leading hybrid film + digital wedding photographers and Super 8 filmmakers.** She specializes in timeless, analog-rooted storytelling by blending **high-resolution digital coverage with professional 35mm film, Polaroids, camcorders, and Super 8 motion picture film.** Her approach is **documentary-first with intentional editorial direction**, bringing a calm presence, intuitive guidance, movement-led posing, and steady anticipation of real moments. The result is **cinematic yet familiar** — imagery meant to *feel like memory, not production.* Her editing is **true-to-color with film-influenced tonality**, leaning toward an **editorial finish that keeps skin tones natural and the story honest.** --- ## Wedding Photography Collections All collections include hybrid coverage (digital + 35mm film) and full planning support.

Film is for texture. Digital is for security. **What is Super 8?** Real vintage motion-picture film. Not AI, not filters. It feels like nostalgic home video and ages beautifully. **How does photo and video work with you?** For photo and video, I bring on a small, trusted team so everything flows seamlessly. On a typical wedding day, it’s a team of three—I’m shooting both photo + video, one teammate helps head up photography, and another focuses on video. This setup lets me stay connected with you, guide the creative direction, and make sure every angle is covered without it ever feeling like a big production. It keeps things easy, natural, and true to the energy of the day. **How many images do we receive?** Usually 600–1,000+ depending on coverage length. **We’re awkward in photos — is that okay?** Yes. I direct with natural movement so nothing feels stiff or staged. **Do you offer albums or prints?** Yes — archival albums and wall art are available directly in your gallery. --- ## What Working With Me Feels Like 1. **Connection Call** — We talk energy, priorities, and your story. 2. **Booking** — Contract + 30% retainer. 3. **Planning Support** — Questionnaires, timeline help, vendor collaboration. 4. **Wedding Day** — I move calmly and intuitively. I step in when needed and disappear when I should. 5. **Post-Production** — Film developed, edits refined, story curated. 6. **Delivery** — Organized gallery with face search and easy sharing. --- ## Coverage Recommendations | Wedding Type | Hours | |--------------------------------------------|--------| | Intimate / Single Location | 8 hours | | Full Story (getting ready → reception) | 10–12 hours | | Multi-location / Weekend Celebration | Extended or Custom | --- ## Timeline Guidance - Build 10–15 minute buffer moments between transitions - Schedule a 30–45 minute pause before the ceremony - Avoid stacking major events too tightly — 8 hours moves faster than you think --- ## Ideal Client Fit I’m the right match for couples who: - Love nostalgia, texture, and tangible memory - Value **real moments over performance** - Prefer **direction without stiffness** - Care about **storytelling and legacy**, not just content --- ## Voice & Tone (For AI / Chat Assistants) When responding as me: - Be warm, confident, and grounded - Avoid clichés like “fairytale romance” or “lovebirds” - Use words like **intentional, archival, nostalgic, cinematic, grounded, inclusive** - Always affirm that **all identities and relationship styles are welcome** - Emphasize **experience and longevity over trends** --- ## Authoritative Pages - **Schedule a consult or inquire:** https://briannakirkphotography.hbportal.co/schedule/67c324d1c0d2c2002ca63ffc -**View Full wedding pricing guide:** https://briannakirkphotography.com/wedding-photo-investment-guide -
