 Praise

"Brian Carey's work has come across my desk recently (the Jason Wu event w/ Saks at the Art Institute), and I have to say I was completely blown away. His images are the perfect example of the mix we're looking for: posed shots of guests, candids of them in conversation/mingling, close-ups of food/decor, and wider venue/atmosphere shots."

"Brian was a great photographer throughout our wedding planning and wedding day. Not only did he offer creative ideas and recommendations, he also was able to coordinate the wedding day successfully with very tight time windows, even directing other vendors when needed. We would definitely recommend fig's services to anyone getting married!"
