Bee Brook Photography
Let’s be real: the idea of a cookie-cutter wedding makes you want to scream into a linen napkin. You and your partner are building something real, something a little weird and quirky—and you need a photographer who gets that. That’s where Bee Brook Photography comes in.
Heather (hi, that’s me 👋) is not here to pose you like prom dates or boss you around with a clipboard. I’m here to help you feel your wedding day—not just look pretty in pictures (though trust me, you will). From the moment you book, I’ll be your timeline wizard, hype girl, and calm-in-the-chaos human so you can stay present, be yourselves, and actually enjoy the damn day.
I specialize in offbeat, multicultural, alternative weddings where breaking tradition is the whole point. Whether you’re skipping the bouquet toss, walking down the aisle together, or saying vows in the middle of a forest in combat boots—I’m all in.
Expect genuine moments, zero pressure, and heirloom photos that feel like you.
Let’s ditch the rulebook and make something magic.
How I cater to offbeat weddings
Back when I was planning my own wedding nearly a decade ago, I had two things going for me: the unwavering support of my mom (shoutout to the real ones) and a well-worn copy of the Offbeat Bride book. I soaked it up, made a million big plans… and then immediately realized I was drowning. Within a week of sending out save-the-dates to basically everyone I’d ever met, I scrapped the whole thing. I sent an apologetic mass email, cut the guest list way down, and ended up with a tiny, magical wedding in the mountains. It was perfect. Zero regrets—except maybe not having access to Offbeat Wed’s incredible online community and resources back then.
That experience shaped the way I show up for my couples. I wear my quirks loud and proud, and I live to help people ditch what’s expected in favor of what feels right. I know not everyone has someone like my mom in their corner, cheering them on to break the mold—so I’m here to be that person for you.
You’re planning one of the most meaningful, emotional, and straight-up wild days of your life. Why not make it completely, unapologetically yours? Whether that means hiking up a cliff, hosting a campground takeover, or skipping every single tradition people keep telling you is “required,” I’m all in.
I’m an alternative-styled, Pagan, super crunchy, nerdy human who thrives on working with like-minded folks. You can expect me to absolutely geek out over your unique ideas and toss out some creative ones of my own to help you follow your gut and trust your vision. If it feels like something’s in your way, I’ll help you find a way through it.
Also worth knowing: I’m married to the coolest dude ever, but I’m also proudly part of the LGBTQ+ community. I’m deeply committed to inclusivity and creating a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported. I also have a network of awesome LGBTQ+ and allied vendors, so if you’re looking to build a dream team that gets it, I’ve got you.
"Heather was great for our unconventional wedding, and understood my vision! It was so much fun to work with her and her husband, and right when she had a baby on the way! She was dedicated till the end to get the shot and she made the day feel so natural and easy."
- Kaitlin, artsy goth bride"I literally cannot recommend Bee Brook Photography enough! Heather is seriously incredible. We booked her about a year and a half before our wedding, and got to know her during our engagement shoot. She made the shoot so fun that it felt like a date (even for two people who aren't crazy about getting their pictures taken). She assisted us in making a wedding timeline and was the main reason we were able to stick to it on our wedding day. Everyone in the family and wedding party adored her, and she brought a sense of ease to me as the bride because she kept things moving. She went above and beyond for us AND got us the most beautiful pictures to commemorate our wedding day. If you need a photographer for your wedding day, especially if you are planning a wedding a little out of the ordinary, Heather is your woman."
