Brenmakasih Hi! I’m Brendan, a wedding photographer based in the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia. So, where to from here? Let’s chat!
-Bren Bren.

I love relaxed weddings & couples who enjoy having a great time and a sense of adventure in their hearts. My name is Brendan Samuels and I am an Asian in a white guys body, a creative wanderer and story teller. I enjoy travelling the world, cooking and taking photos. I began my career as a photographer straight out of High school and was photographing the NRL. Rather than being your typical 18 yea

r old heading out to night clubs, I was studying and was mentored by amazing photographers who taught me values which I uphold today. Whilst focusing on the NRL and other sporting events, I started photographing friends and friends of friends weddings and after a few years of juggling full time work and being a weekend warrior, I quit my full time job to pursue the “hobby”, I worked with several Sydney based studios for several years before taking a leap out and deciding to launch Brenmakasih, pronounced (Bren – ma – ka – see). The photos that I love taking are fun, candid, intimate and real. I create images that I want would want hanging up on my wall. I believe that photographs have the opportunity to preserve precious memories. They are so much more than just a USB. They are personal connection to a place in time. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph couples from around the world and around the world. My desire with photography is to touch people’s lives. If we get to hangout and take some photos, thank you for entrusting me. Thank you for allowing me to capture your story. If it hasn’t happened yet, I hope we can. Feel free to give me a call on 0401 876 797 or get in touch via email - [email protected]

I’ve always been a fan of “Let’s have some fun and see what happens” - in all aspects of life.

When you bring that into a wedding day, you forget the photo-shoot list and you’re so able to be in the moment, acutely aware and visibly present on the day. I’ve never been one that says “Hold up - the photographer isn’t ready” or “I needed that shot” I want to be there with you and your dearly beloved. 

So when Fiona and Wei Li had their lunch reception at church, and I saw a Baskeball court being used by kids, I asked Wei Li if he and Fiona would be down for a lil game of 1on1.

Honestly it’s little moments like this that allow you to enjoy your day, allow you to be present with your friends and family and create little memories to share with your future lil’ humans and just look back on your wedding day with fond memories. 

And before I forget, can you guess who one? 

Makasih,
Bren
