St. Petersburg Bar Association - Lawyer Referral Services/Western Termporaries/Today's Temporaries Review

The experience was amazing! Brian was amazing to work with!! By far the best photographer I have ever met! From the initial contact to way beyond the posting and ordering of the photos, Brian was there for us! Beautiful scenery and shots from the ocean side capturing the most unforgettable moment of my life with my future wife and our girls! I would most definetly reccommend Brian James Photography and plan on using him again for our wedding when we go back to Florida! He's even one of the reasons we chose to hold our wedding there!

Thank you Brian!

A really professional and fun experience. Took our project above and beyond. Brian is flexible and creative. I highly recommend him for portrait and product photography.

We hired Brian James to photograph our wedding and reception and couldn't have made a better choice! My husband had a photo shoot with him a year ago for my school project, and he was pleased with how comfortable Brian made him and all the other students feel. His style of working is not at all nerve wracking for the client and makes you feel confident about being in front of the camera. That photo shoot is what made us hire Brian to do our wedding. Even the vintage theme we chose was captured in his work. He also photographed us when we didn't know it and those photos turned out to be our favorites because he captured genuine moments that are now quintessential pieces of his work for my husband and I to treasure. The quality of his photos is impeccable and I've gotten so many compliments on his work. He is also very presentable in person and works very well with his clients. If you want quality and tasteful photos, go with this guy!

Brian is professional but easy going and so fun to be around. He was able to make everyone feel comfortable and able to open up for great shots. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him. Aside from his fun personality, he's so talented!

Thoughtful and professional photographer, strongly recommend.

Five starts for Brian! He has been my photographer of choice for my growing wreath business. He has the "eye" of an artist - not easy to find as most who call themselves photographer simply snap pictures.

Needed a business type portrait on fairly short notice. Brian handled it very professionally and it was well done. He knows his stuff. No hesitation in recommending him highly.

His work was great, very creative and a top professional...keep up the great work Brian

Brian is amazing at what he does! The pictures came out fantastic, but it's his professionalism and creativity combined with his photography skills that make it such a good experience. Brian truly wants the best for his clients and that makes all the difference.

Brian James is by far one of the most talented photographers in this industry. He is professional, fun and has a great eye for capturing the perfect picture.

I just moved to the area and was in need of a last minute headshot for my company. I looked online and came across Brian's portfolio and was blown away. I sent him a quick message asking for details, and he responded within a few hours with very clear directions on how to get to his studio and pricing.

I have always hated getting my picture taken because my smiles always look forced in pictures, but during the session Brian made it super easy to relax and was extremely easy to talk with. His acted in a professional manner the entire time, sent me the digital files to go through later that day, and he had my final high-definition retouched images ready for me within 24 hours after that. If anyone is looking for a professional photographer, I would recommend working with Brian to anyone.

Brian James says it best, when he says "I don't take pictures, I make pictures!". He is a true artist, and his workmanship is masterful.

Corporate professional AND Artistic, Entertainment headshots All in One -- Brian gets it done and done well no matter what you need. I have worked with him on sets, in offices, and in his studio, and he always provides amazing shots (which you just can't teach) as well as timely turnaround and affordable pricing. Great guy too!

Brian James Gallery is FIRST CLASS!! Even better....Brian is a GOOD GUY!!! You will NOT be sorry you chose this company!!

Very professional photographs whether in his amazing studio or on location! Fast turn around on usable photographs. Would use him regularly! He is friendly and so easy to work with, knows his stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian is an amazing photographer, but beyond that, he is a wonderful person. He does more than put you at ease in front of the camera, he draws out your best self, and it shows in the photos he takes. He loves his work and loves to talk about it. You'll be laughing and talking through your whole session!

Brian is amazing!!! Being in the fashion industry I've worked with many photographers but when we work together is pure creation and fun. He's passionate and has an extraordinary talent.I truly enjoy working with him. If you're looking for a photographer he's definitely the one to choose!

I had an enjoyable experience and Brian is knowledgeable in his craft. I am happy with my head shots.

Brian did some head shots for
me. Great experience, relaxing enviroment. Over all fantastic very professional.

Professional, friendly and knowledgeable in his craft. Quite pleased with the photography of my art canvases. A talented one he is! I have and most definitely will continue to recommend him as the go-to photographer!

What can I say about Brian's work and his gallery that isn't already known! Finest photographer I have known, creative, eye for contrast/placement of subject matter, out-going, and friendly. I am glad to call him friend!

Outstanding performance and great vision given to our project. Definitely a superb experience. Brian is incredibly professional and down to earth, we wholeheartedly suggest him for any projects you may have.

Brian James is a gifted photographer who is not just talented, he's also a joy to work with. He has great vision and creative suggestions ... offers a terrific client experience ... and delivers exceptional outcome. He's versatile, too. He did amazing professional head shots of me for the launch of my company, and a couple weeks later shot my husband's custom furniture for DuPont Registry. You will be glad you hired Brian!

Great professionalism and personality too. New exactly what to do and how to set up the groups for perfect results. Highly recommend him.

Extremely talented doesn't even begin to cover it! His skill and talent is remarkable. Best photographer around.

The Brian James experience is one I will never forget! He is such a knowledgeable expert in his field and an artist. This combination is the best for producing amazing photographs. My headshots are art! I can't wait to see what he does with my daughter's senior pictures! Update: Brian James created the most beautiful photos that really captured the beauty and innocence of my teenage daughter. Her photos are better than any senior photography company could ever produce. As a singer she could use these shots for audition cards and also for marketing. He made the process fun, and enjoyable.

Brian is an absolute professional and next-level, creative talent! Hands down the best portrait and fashion photographer I've seen...

Brian James Gallery has long been my go-to when I want amazing photography. Both for my family and my business, I use Brian because I know the images will be stunning. Brian is extremely talented and knowledgable about his craft. I highly recommend giving him a shot.

What a great experience my wife and I had getting photos done for LinkedIn and other stuff like that! He made me look six feet tall and like I'm making millions of dollars!

Had a terrific time with Brian as our wedding photographer! He made the guests feel comfortable and was a great addition to the experience. Plus the pictures are amazing!!! You can really see he enjoys his work and cares about producing a quality portfolio for his clients.

Brian is a professional and finds a way to lighten the mood during your shoot. I highly recommend him for professional head shots and product photography.

Great shots, quick and easy, he knows what he is doing.

The professional "head shot" photo quality was exactly what my husband Jeff Hicks wanted for our business website and his blog.

Brian was great! He is extremely patient and devoted to client satisfaction. I could not be more pleased with the results.

Brian is extremely talented and creative. He is very patient working with all age groups of people. I have recommended him to many people and all have been very satisfied and complimentary about Brian and his work.

I was selected by the university that I am attending as a candidate to conduct a student spotlight, and the communications director provided a fairly tight deadline for me to have a professional picture submitted. I choose Brian James Photography to have my images taken, and could not have been more pleased with my decision. Brian is a true professional, and produced beautiful images. A five star rating does this talented photographer no justice! He deserves 10 stars, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking quality, efficient, and timeless pictures.

Brian's work is easily the best in the business. For high fashion, head shots, and marketing photos, you cannot do any better than this guys work. HIGHLY recommend Brian!

I have had the opportunity to work with Brian James Gallery and Photography for over 6 years and have been exceptionally happy with there work. Professional, creative and very responsive to any requests we ever had. I would highly recommend Brian and his team to anyone interested in high quality photography.

Everyday I look at a beautiful canvas taken by Brian James and my youngest sons wedding. The wedding photos he took were amazing.

Brian is an excellent photographer. I use his services to photograph textile art and quilts which are tricky to light. He works carefully to ensure a quality image. I recommend him Highly.

I'm an artist with Brian at ArtLofts. He has photographed my work, I have watched him work in his studio and I have seen many of his photographs over the last several years. He is very creative and really knows his craft. I would recommend him for any project you have in mind.

Brian is top notch. You can't afford NOT to use him for your next photo shoot.

Brian James has been doing professional studio photography of my jewelry for atleast 3 years and without fail always does a great job. Goes to extra lengths to provide energy and knowledge for product photos. Thank you, Brian

excellent photography

Super nice guy.

I recommend Brian to everyone for your photography needs.

with all the incredibly talented artists in St. Petersburg, it's easy to fall by the wayside.. Brian James is a bright light within the St. Pete arts community. A keen eye for composition, lighting, and stylish nuances you and I would never notice. A true artist in photography, and a rare talent in this great art filled city of ours.
His photographs speak for themselves.. DO IT.

Brian is exceptional at his work and highly recommend him for any of your photography needs

I have the most beautiful canvas hanging over my desk at work that was taken at my sons wedding by Brian James. The wedding photos he took were beautiful and very creative. The canvas has a 3D quality that makes it look very rich. Someday I hope to enlist him to take some family photos if we ever get together as a family again.

Trying to pick out a photographer for our wedding was overwhelming, to say the least. When we finally found Brian's work, we knew he had a special eye for photography, and that his style was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. We just received our photos a few days ago, and the final product did not disappoint. Brian's work didn't just capture our amazing day, it has given us a beautiful new perspective on a really amazing moment in our lives. He perfectly balanced portrait shots with awesome candid shots that could have only been captured by a photographer truly engaged in his work. We could not be more thrilled, and more proud of the wedding photos Brian took for us.

And in addition to being an outright amazing photographer, Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with. We worked with a lot of great people for our wedding, but we could honestly walk away saying Brian was the most down to earth, honest and helpful individuals leading up to, and on the big day. He kept everyone at ease throughout the event, and honestly just hung out like a friend that knew he had a really important job to do. The telling moment about Brian's work and personality was about ten minutes after leaving the reception, he came back in and tapped me on the shoulder, "I was going to leave, but there's one last amazing shot outside I want to get." I was blown away by the kindness, the dedication, and the fact that the dude seems to constantly know where an amazing shot could happen. My wife and I went with him and that final shot of the night ended up being the best shot of the 500+ photos he took. That one extra moment Brian took at the end of the night, for no one but us, will be the photographic moment that hangs on our wall, and our families walls for years to come. Thanks, Brian.

Brian took the pictures for our wedding, and they came out beautifully!!. We booked him a year in advance because we were planning from long distance. He always was very quick to get back to us and answer any questions that we had during that time. He was on time the day of and took some really beautiful pics for us! We are so happy with the way everything came out. He was fun, and didn't keep us standing around too long while he got family shots. He had lots of creative ideas, and got on the dancefloor with us and took some of the best shots. The pictures were delivered on time as promised, I would highly recommend him to anyone with photography needs. Thanks again Brian! :)

Brian is an incredibly skilled photographer who is passionate about his work and gives you an experience to remember. He's the best around.

I hate having my picture taken, but Brian was such a pleasure to work with that he actually made the experience fun! I liked the headshots he did so much that I am putting them on my business cards! He's incredibly talented and enjoyable to work with. Hope to use him again in this future!

Brian James elegantly captures and recognizes through his refined observation the significant moment that makes a moment a memory .

Brian was extremely professional and was a pleasant personality to be around. He was of the upmost quality throughout the entire process and experience. He was very patient with us, and gave us great advice and guidance. Will definitely be going back for any of my photo needs. He is second to none!

Brian James is the BEST! A real professional! Call him you won't be sorry you did!

Brian is an artist. Thank you for your patient work with me and for your artistry.

I cannot begin to describe how wonderful Brian is! He photographed my wedding in early October ('14) in St. Pete, FL. I live in a different city, and Brian made it super easy to communicate leading up to the wedding (even with ridiculous questions) and was just very helpful.

The day of the wedding he and his second photographer made everyone feel so at ease; like just hanging out with a friend. Even with all the craziness of late start times, songs going missing for the 1st dance, and the groom never where he should be, Brian was so professional and made the day go off without a hitch. He even stayed longer than he was contracted for in order to get photos of the father/daughter and 1st dance - something I will never be able to repay him for!

We just got our photos yesterday and I'm completely blown away. I will say that the day of your wedding, everything becomes a crazy blur afterward. You have this overall impression of the day, but the little details are lost in all the celebrations. Brian's photos made me remember so much of the day that I had forgotten. The details of our reception that I didn't even see, a glace that you had no idea was given... And the way he shot the dynamics of the guests was spell-binding - so many relationships perfectly captured.

I honestly cannot recommend him enough! I will recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer, with the highest regard.
I didn't think that over a month after the wedding I would get so excited, and feel the same things I felt that day all over again - Brian's photos have done that, and I will feel that way every time I look at them for the rest of my life.

I hired Brian to cover a large corporate event and could not have been more pleased. His professionalism is absolutely second to none and the end product was exactly what we asked him to achieve. I would strongly recommend him for any event.

Brian does a great job of bringing my vision to life. He gave great directions, he made it a very cool & relaxing vibe. Brian studio is in the Artloft building in the heart of downtown St. Pete on Central. He has a separate area for hair/makeup + 3 models + 1stylist
We were able to play music, it was a fun work environment. I was going for editorial / athletic wear & totally pulled it off thank you Brian

Brian James is the best! He has captured my wife and I in a few photos shoots and his ability to bring emotion to life from behind the lense is amazing! I highly recommend Brian for any occasion!

Brian is fantastic! I needed to have a corporate headshot done and he turned in chore into something really enjoyable. Brian put me at ease and as a result the photos look very authentic. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting a high quality product.

Brian James is an excellent photographer; He's easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with.

As I start out on my own in the insurance industry, marketing has been a very important piece of my business plan. After looking through site after site of photographers galleries, I kept coming back to Brian's. I ultimately contacted him for my head shot shoot and we got it scheduled easily within a couple of days.

When I arrive I wasn't shy about letting Brian know the shoot had me a little nervous. That quickly went away as our conversation started and the minutes quickly passed. Before I knew it everything was set up, we did a few minute shoot (for which was totally comfortable), and it was time to be on my way. I had been made so comfortable from the moment I arrived that I forgot any nerves I had leading up to the appointment.

Brian was professional, yet laid back and fun. He was quick but thorough and very knowledgeable. I was sure to snatch up a card while I was there to call him for my future photography needs.

When I received the photos from Brian to choose my final two I loved them so much I had him invoice me for a third! Brian James Gallery get two thumbs up from me and much future business and referrals!

Beautiful pictures, great service, Brian knows how to make you look at your best!

I loved the session....I was totally at ease, and the photos turned out great! Really recommend Brian James!

Brian was very enjoyable and helpful to work with to get great photos definitely recommend him

Headline: Worked with Brian for an Annual Conference - Couldn't be happier

Here s what I am thinking You have an important event coming up a wedding, a fashion shoot, a major corporate conference and you want stunning images. Ideally, the photographer would be reliable, even keeled, professional, creative, smart, and effective. Communication before, during, and after the event will be easy. You want your (gorgeous) images soon after the event. You want them to be well-organized and easy to access. Am I on the right track?

If that sounds on point, with great sincerity, I suggest you contact Brian James right away. Brian is based in Saint Petersburg, FL but he travels everywhere for work. We are based in California and Minnesota. We connected to him by the miracle of Internet research. From the start, it was a pleasure to work Brian. The images he produced are invaluable. Brian s ability to work quickly is very impressive. He s a great, technically talented photographer so he doesn t depend on Photoshop. We got images back almost immediately.

We are an organization of Integrative Holistic healers. The event was our Annual Conference. At the event, there is lots of socializing and joy. There are also a series of technical lectures about health and medicine. We wanted to capture images without interrupting the sense of connection among the attendees or distracting the speakers. Before the event, we talked with Brian about who we are, the tone of our events, and what we hoped for in terms of images. He nailed it. The Board of Directors and the Executive Director are thrilled with the results.

Brian rules. I film a lot of weddings and a lot of times I clash with photographers (that are less experienced and don't understand lighting and composition). Brian was easy to work with and we had the same mindset with angles and lighting... When this happens the bride will have 1. Better images. 2. A stress free day. 3. An overall good experience.
If we take care of our clients we will always have plenty of work. Not a lot of photographers really care about the quality of work they are putting out there... So it was nice working with someone who does.

Brian is a true pro's pro. His photos are CRISP, and... he was exceptional at my shoot to work with, and I would highly recommend him. His location is amazing and it was just a lot of fun! Thanks again Brian!

Brian is the consummate professional photographer. His style, composition and results are outstanding. I used him for business photos and my grandson's christening and 1 year old pictures.
Highly recommend him.

Brian has photographed several of my sculptures and has captured great images that I use on my website. He's great to work with and you get your images quickly.

I've had the pleasure of working with Brian on photo shoots for a top client. Brian is very professional, yet with an relaxed style that sets everyone at ease. The quality of his photographs are truly excellent well lit, sharp and carefully composed. He has a knack for bringing out the best in people.

Brian James is the best photographer in Tampa Bay! I get all my head shots done here. Always professional and reasonably priced.

Incredibly talented, exceptional work and a pleasure to work with. Easily St.Petersburg's top photog.

I had headshots taken with Brian last month. I unfortunately was given a short notice from my job with a quick turn-around time to submit my headshot and thankfully Brian welcomed me kindly and accommodated my deadline. He was extremely professional while at the same time being down to earth and easy to work with. He made taking headshots a fun experience! I would recommend him to all my friends and family and would go back to him again for further photography needs. Thanks again Brian!!

Great photography studio. Very professional and fun. Brian does great work.

Best head shots around. Super professional and always gets a genuine smile out of the model. Brian does seriously amazing work.

Brian James is a great photographer who mixes traditional medians with contemporary looks as well. He performed our wedding and was an A class personality that everyone loved. I would highly recommend Brian for any photography work that you are looking for.

Brian did a great job on my professional portrait. In addition to providing a top quality product, he made the process fun. I have used the pictures on my company website, LinkedIn and Facebook and all the comments have been complementary. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone.
