“I have always liked the process of creating something. Creating anything, really. When I was younger, I enjoyed making music. After college, I fell into doing wedding videos,” reflects Brian Flint, owner of B. Flint Photography in the historic town of Oxford. “The camera I used to capture videos was a DSLR. I was in the right place at the right time, and a lot of my friends started getting engaged and married, and asked if I would take some photos of them. I said sure, and one thing led to another. I decided to launch B. Flint Photography – a different brand of photographs.”
One glance at Brian’s photographs and you are sure to gasp at the beauty he captures. Brian is a self-taught photographer, and approaches weddings with a journalistic eye. He laughs, “I stay out of the way, honestly. Most people don’t even know I’m there! I like capturing very romantic and intimate portraits.”
His photos are truly impeccable. Some of Brian’s favorite moments to capture are during a couple’s wedding reception. “I like getting into the crowd, really getting into it, and capturing people having a great time. I love roaming free and catching people having fun and celebrating!” He adds, “I like shooting real moments. Not staged or fake.”
Brian’s style of photography is simply breathtaking, and he gathers much of his inspiration from local bookstores. He says, “I gravitate toward the photography section. I don’t really enjoy looking at other people’s wedding photos, but I get a lot of inspiration looking at other artists’ work. Some of my favorite books are just filled with street photography – portraits of random people on the street. I also love looking at old black and white film photos from the 1930’s.”
Brian enjoys shooting both color and black and white photographs at weddings. But most importantly, he wants the bride and groom to fall in love with their photos. He says, "When couples get their photos back, I want them to look at a photo and remember what a sweet, awesome moment it was. I want to capture them naturally. I do guide them, but I want couples to be themselves. That will be expressed beautifully through a photograph.”
