BROOKS WITTA
Brooks is a wedding photographer based in St. Paul, Minnesota, photographing celebrations throughout the U.S. and abroad. His work leans heavily on film and a documentary approach, with an editorial edge when the moment calls for it. Everything is photographed with the intention of keeping the day real, relaxed, and true to how it unfolded.
A large part of Brooks’ process is built around analog photography — 35mm and medium format film, paired with digital coverage for speed and versatility. His background in the darkroom shapes the way he shoots: slower, intentional, and focused on what’s actually happening rather than manufacturing moments.
Couples who work with Brooks want photographs that feel honest and unforced. He aims to create work that holds up over time without trying to imitate trends or over-style the day.
Brooks was wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the moment he arrived, he brought a calming, kind, and professional presence that made us feel completely at ease. He captured every moment beautifully both on film and digital. Beyond his incredible talent, he took the time to connect with us, making the experience feel personal and effortless.

FAQs
What’s required to book?
Your date is officially reserved once a contract is signed and a $1,000 non-refundable retainer is paid. I book on a first-contract-signed basis, which means I don’t hold dates for inquiries that haven’t completed both steps. The remaining balance is due by the wedding day.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Yes! Engagement sessions are available as an add-on. They’re a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, get to know how I work, and spend some time capturing the two of you in a more laid-back setting before the big day.
Can we add hours or extras later?
Totally. You can add hours, a second shooter, rehearsal dinner coverage, or an album anytime leading up to your wedding. I’m happy to adjust your package as things evolve.
Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely, based in the Twin Cities, I’m available to photograph weddings worldwide. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Minnesota or a destination wedding in the US or abroad, I’m here to document your day wherever it takes you.
Do you shoot Film & Digital?
Yes, I shoot with both film and digital cameras. While film photography plays a major role in my process, digital photography allows me to capture moments quickly and efficiently, especially during fast-paced parts of the day. Using both ensures you’ll receive a gallery that’s artistic, complete, and beautifully balanced.
How do you deliver our photos?
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints. It’s super easy to use and mobile-friendly too.
Do you offer albums?
Yes, I offer custom-designed, heirloom-quality. These are available as add-ons.
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 12–18 months out, especially for peak dates. I recommend reaching out as soon as you’re ready to lock in your date.
