WE ARE STUDIO NOLAN
Studio Nolan is the work of husband-and-wife duo Bri and Vlad. Together, they bring over two decades of professional photography experience, with commissions across the U.S. and abroad—from California’s coastline to New York City, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Their work has appeared in leading magazines and illustrated books, including Brides, Gestalten, Junebug, Hello May, and more.
Formally educated in event management, Bri fuses her background in wedding planning with a refined artistic vision—bringing an intuitive sense of pacing and an editorial eye for elevating moments as they unfold.
Having spent years in front of the camera as a fashion model, Vlad later apprenticed behind the lens—shaping an emotionally grounded, story-led approach marked by ease and presence. In 2019, he was a nominee for Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.
VISUAL ARTISTS AND EMOTIONAL STORYTELLERS
With calm presence, we approach each wedding as trusted guests, seamlessly blending in, watching, listening, and capturing the energy of the moment.
Our style is instinctive and present; an effortless flow between editorial elegance and documentary storytelling — elevating the visual and honing in on the feeling. The end result is a layered symphony of soft, elegant, whimsical and festive. Above all, it is honest, personal and deeply meaningful.
When our couples look back at their photos, it is our desire they see an honest depiction of who they were, how they felt, and the love that surrounded them.
PRESERVING TIME THROUGH ART
We return to our own photographs often: our wedding, our child’s first days, the faces we miss. They hold time in a way nothing else can. That truth shapes how we photograph weddings — with care and reverence for what the images will become as years pass. Each frame is an heirloom in the making — an ode to love, family and legacy. An ode to what endures.
