Welcome to Brian Cowen Photography! bio picture
  • About Brian Cowen Photography

    I started taking pictures with a small hand held camera in 2002. I realized if I held it at a certain angle or got it at a custom setting, I could make ordinary pictures look extraordinary. I continued taking pictures casually until two weeks after my own wedding, one of my wife's old roommates asked me to take pictures of their wedding. From that point on, I have been diligently taking photos professionally. It started out as just friends of ours that were getting married, but quickly evolved into more and more.

    On May 1st, 2010, photography became my sole source of income. I couldn't imagine having it any other way. God has totally blessed our business and I am blown away by His faithfulness.

    On your wedding day, I like to be the invisible third person getting married alongside of you. I will capture your emotions, your expressions, and most importantly, the love you feel for your new spouse. I love to capture every moment because in the end, the flowers will fade, the food will be eaten, the dress will be put away in a box, but the photos will last forever.

Rebecca and Joel Teaser

Rebecca and Joel were an absolutely great couple to work with. I have actually known Rebecca for almost 5 years and I actually met her originally while I was taking her senior portraits. Our friendship has grown through the years and we were so happy when she met Joel. He truly is the man for her and she the woman for him. Enjoy this little teaser while I work on the rest of the pics!

Frank and Debra Rocco’s Wedding Teaser – 8/14/10

Here’s what Frank and Debra had to say about their experience with Brian Cowen Photography:

“Brian is an amazing photographer! We have not gotten any of the pics back yet as we were just married a couple days ago but I am completely confident in his work. He really gets to know you as a person/couple and makes you feel completely at ease. I was able to just be myself and let things happen. He met with us personally anytime we had any question and was completely flexible with setting up a package that not only fit our budget but one that we would be happy with. He has a great artistic eye.

Brian and his wife Lindsey were not only our photographer and assistant they became our friends. We even got Brian to let loosen up a bit towards the end of the night and get out on the dance floor! It was such a fun and amazing day! I don’t think it would of been the same with any other photographer. We not only will be recommending him to others but there are plans in the making to use him for some family pictures! I will review again after we receive our pics.”
