Hi there. I'm


Lady Mountain Films

But you can call me Braiden


-adventurer, dreamer, and storyteller 

I am an Appalachian through and through. Most of my time is spent outside, trail running, foraging and connecting with nature. If I don’t answer the phone, it’s a 95% chance that I’m in the woods or on a trail run. My time spent outside has allowed me to perfect the art of location scouting and find creative inspiration in the environment around us.

CREATIVE

My artistic approach is centered around authentic documentation, and I have meticulously crafted a distinctive style that reflects this foundation. By immersing myself in the genuine essence of each subject or event, I capture moments in their purest form, preserving the true emotions and essence of the occasion. Through my work, I aim to create a timeless and genuine portrayal that resonates with viewers, evoking powerful emotions and memories.

ICLUSIVE

As a member of the vibrant queer community, it is of utmost importance to me that all my clients feel cherished and supported on their wedding day. My mission is to cultivate a safe, non-judgmental, and joyful environment where love and connection are at the heart of everything I create. With a genuine commitment to making your wedding day extraordinary, I am dedicated to celebrating your love in all its beautiful forms. Together, we will craft unforgettable moments that reflect your unique journey as a couple.

 

MY APPROACH

I prioritize fostering a friendship rather than just a client-photographer relationship. My ultimate goal is to create an environment where you feel entirely at ease in front of the camera, allowing your genuine self to shine through. By cultivating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, I aim to capture authentic moments that reflect your true essence and personality. Your unique story and emotions are at the heart of my work, and I'm dedicated to preserving these special moments in a way that feels natural and heartfelt.
