Welcome to the Sydney Breann Experience.
My goal is to ensure that when you look back at your wedding album in 50 years, you’re brought right back to:
…The moment your partner wiped tears from your eyes during your first look overlooking a meadow of wildflowers.
…The moment you two sat on the beach, popping champagne and snacking on charcuterie.
…The moment you laced up your hiking boots and traipsed through the forest on an unfamiliar trail.
…The moment your dad walked you up a path lined with your favorite people on either side, to finally marry the love of your life.
…And the moment where you twirled beneath a sky full of stars, arms wrapped around one another.
Sydney Breann photography delivers a unique, full-day experience that you will remember with your love forever. Let's hike to mountaintops and frolic in the pines.
For the couples who value spontaneity and the in-between moments...
Tailored to you and your story, the Sydney Breann Photography Experience is designed not just with you
“in mind” - but with you and your love story at the center.
I am not your normal photographer. I believe in finding peace and joy in the mundane. I believe in the in-between moments that may go unnoticed. I believe in heartfelt conversation and staring at the stars. I believe in straying away from the traditional and common, and chasing something more wild and free that sets your soul on fire.
Hey there, I am Syd.
Based in Montana near Glacier National Park.
Your photographer, adventure guide, and pal all in one. I am so excited to get to know you!
A few of my favorite things...
+ Sunrise
+ Deep Conversation
+ Chai Tea
+ Furry Friends
+ Breakfast for Dinner
Look, I’m not a big “okay, now stand here, put your arm here, and look off into the distance” kinda gal. I’m passionate about capturing authentic interactions. Are you awkward? Spoiler alert: same. Which is exactly why I hate posing!
You’re going to feel the most “you” when you’re in your element. I’m not just here to take beautiful photos in epic places; I’m here to capture you + your love as it appears in the moment. I’m a hardcore advocate of ditching tradition and fostering your own unique story to unfold.
Let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t just a “photoshoot”. This is your best chapter yet.
I am your trusted storyteller and planner/confidant so that you can look back on your day for years to come and remember every detail. This day is intentional and curated for you.
The SBP Vibe- The SparkNotes Version:
Authentic. Candid. Soulful. Earthy. Unconventional.
– Madalin and Reed
Sydney is absolutely, without a doubt, the best photographer we could have ever chosen to shoot our elopement day. She was so attentive with every detail helping us plan our day in Glacier National Park from helping with permits (doing research and sending applications over and making sure I wasn't panicking when GNP took a little longer than usual to get back to us) to narrowing down our location (she scouted beforehand locations we were interested in and made sure we would be able to do exactly what we hoped for on our day (and more!)). Not only was her preparation for the day exactly what we needed, but when the day came, she was excellent company, a truly amazing photographer, and above all a friend. But let's get it straight- Sydney absolutely killed it with the photography. We got sneak peaks on our trip back home from Montana, and we were jumping in our seats the whole plane ride home. My husband and I cannot recommend Sydney more. She told us that storytelling is her forte, and let me tell you, she was one hundred percent correct. We wanted to showcase the backdrop of Montana, and not only did she do so incredibly, but also told our story throughout her photos. If you're looking for an epic photographer and friend, you've found her.
"She told us that storytelling is her forte, and let me tell you, she was one hundred percent correct."

And here's another bonus (or two)...
You can inquire by filling out my contact form and telling me all about yourself. The more details the better! We are going to be bffs by the end of this process! I will respond to your inquiry within 1-3 business days (I am usually pretty quick!). Your initial inquiry will set the stage for the rest of our conversations about your unique event or session. Give me all the deets!
Inquire
no. 1
This is my favorite part! I would love to hop on a phone call or zoom call to answer all of your questions and get to know you better. Making sure that we gel well and are on the same page about your inquiry makes this process even more seamless! Every relationship starts with a foundation, and this is ours! I thrive off of deep relationships and conversations, so this is our time to get to know each other, and for me to hear your dreams for your authentic wedding day experience.
Welcome Call
no. 2
After our welcome call, you will have the option to receive a contract and invoice to solidify me as your photographer. GET ME ON THAT CALENDAR! Once a contract is signed and the retainer is paid, the planning will commence. We will discuss locations, vendors, timelines (or the intentional lack of a timeline), travel, and all of the nitty-gritty details that relate to curating your intimate experience.
Planning
no. 3
Your favorite day. Ever.
We have done so much planning, and this is the day. We will talk all the deets way beforehand, but this is where it all comes together. What does your wedding day look like? Honestly, I can't tell you here, because it is whatever you want it to be. There are no pressures, no conforming to norms. Your wedding day is completely yours. Capturing these carefree, organic moments is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done; being a tiny part in your love story is what I am most proud of.
Wedding Day
no. 4
EEEEK! 10-12 weeks after your wedding day (usually sooner), you will receive an email with a link to your online viewing gallery. This gallery includes every moment of your day for you to relive in chronological order. You can download high-res files straight from this gallery, but all wedding clients also receive a personalized memory stick and some special goodies shipped to your door. Such an exciting part of the process- to see the story of your day unfold!

Still looking for a videographer?
Yes! I take on a limited amount of seniors, and am always shooting adventurous couples! My favorite thing ever is meeting couples in epic locations and capturing that season of life for them. It doesn't have to be an engagement session!
Do you shoot anything other than weddings and elopements?
I am going to say it louder for the people in the back... an elopement is anything you want it to be! Want to fly into your location on a helicopter? What about bringing your 4 dogs along? You can even hike a 14er on your wedding day. My job as your photographer is to find epic locations, give recommendations for other vendors, and capture your unique love story. I am there every step of the way.
What is your elopement experience like?
In my opinion, intimate weddings are around 30-40 guests. Elopements are anything less! P.S. I don't count dogs as guests, although I think I have more dog friends than humans.
What is considered an intimate wedding or elopement?
Yes! My expertise and niche is elopements and small, intimate weddings. However, I do take on a limited amount of bigger weddings per year. If you are inquiring about a larger wedding (40+ guests), reach out now for my availability as these spots fill fast.
I am seeing a lot of information about intimate weddings and elopements. Do you shoot larger weddings?
UM YES! My passion is capturing love while also pursuing my other passion: travel. My travel rates for weddings and elopements are actually already built into my pricing! How handy! Feel free to mention all of the amazing places you want to have your wedding, elopement, or adventure session, and we will work together to find an amazing location to celebrate your love! I have traveled coast to coast and even as far as Norway to capture love!
Do you travel for shoots and weddings?
Good news...neither do I. I am very much a BEHIND THE CAMERA gal and only hop in front of the camera for headshots or travel photos. My philosophy is capturing you in that moment, as you are. I use movement and prompts to capture your giggles and authentic reactions. I am not into plain-old-posing, and I instead encourage frolicking and spontaneity!
What if I am awkward? I don't like to be in front of the camera.
I know that this is the most sought-after question. For weddings, I contract 4-6 weeks from your wedding date. However, most of my couples will receive their full gallery much quicker, depending on what time of the year we are in! During busy season (June-October), I may need the entire contracted time.
When will I receive my photos?
Reach out! I take a limited number of seniors, families, and couples every year. My main market is weddings, but I still do a lot of other shoots on the side! I limit myself on the number of these shoots in order to give the majority of my attention and time to my wedding clients.
What if I am inquiring about a shoot that is not listed in your info/pricing on your website?
Yes! I take on a limited amount of seniors, and am always shooting adventurous couples! My favorite thing ever is meeting couples in epic locations and capturing that season of life for them. It doesn't have to be an engagement session!
