If you are searching for a duo of photographers that place compassion and hard work at the forefront of a client’s needs, than Davello Photography with Brynn & Mike is who you want to hire. They did our engagement photos and our wedding and we could not have found a better fit. Particularly because we were very nervous initially because let’s face it, what bride doesn’t want to have beautiful and classic pictures to always look back on, right? Still, despite our nerves and countless questions, with much patience and positive support from DaVello, my husband and I quickly realized that Brynn & Mike were perfect for us after meeting with them.
For example, within 2 minutes of shooting our engagements pictures they helped us to relax and just fall deeper in love than when we started out that day, not to mention their professionalism on our wedding day was superb. We had a black tie optional wedding, and Mike was attired in a black suit/tux, and his wife Brynn had a beautiful long sleeved sweater with dress pants on which allowed them both to look fantastic, and also move well for our special day. And, when we received our wedding pictures (which by the way they got to us in an incredibly timely fashion and included a beautiful surprise booklet as well), they brought back all the memories of our wedding day from start to finish. The first time I look through them I got choked up because they catch real moments, and every family and friend of ours who has seen them has absolutely fallen in love with the pictures as well. We had classic shots, some candid shots, artistic, and everything in between, leaving us 100% satisfied and excited to share our pictures over the course of time with family, friends and one day, our children. So, to sum up, they truly care about their clients, have stellar work and will support you ever step of the way to ensure you have timeless and fun memories to last a lifetime! Thank you Davello, you were brilliant!

FABULOUS, AMAZING, INCREDIBLY TALENTED
What would we have done without you guys? How did you enter into our life a week before the wedding, and absolutely BLOW OUR SOCKS OFF????? Jake and I both feel so incredibly blessed and lucky to have had you for our wedding. Your photos are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I cannot tell you how beautiful they are. As one shooter to another… I ADORE YOU AND YOUR SKILLS ALIKE!!!! I don’t even know where to start building an album, ALL 745 shots are incredible!!! You ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! The photos are freaking amazeballs!!!!!

I can not say enough good things about Mike and Brynn! They’re really as good as it gets! They did our engagement and wedding photos and we were THRILLED with the results! And so were our friends and family! They can’t stop raving about how great the photos came out! Somehow Mike and Brynn managed to take pictures that display our natural love and happiness in a professional (yet not “staged” looking) way.
And *bonus* they’re just so darn NICE! We didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. In fact, by the end of it all, they felt more like friends than vendors.

Mike and Brynn D’avello were an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with. My fiancee and I had the good fortune of winning an engagement session with them, so we decided on a photo session in San Clemente. They’re a fun couple to hang out with, so the couple hours we spent with them flew by! We felt at ease around them, so taking pictures in public–kissing, smiling, a whole lot of PDA-ing–was no big deal. I thought I should scope out some places to take photos, but they were pros at picking photo spots. It seemed like we stopped every 25 feet for a great photo! Afterwards, we decided to hang out our favorite wine bar, The Cellar, and shared a couple drinks. Throughout this time, there was no pressure to book them and they didn’t try to sell us anything. We asked if they were available on our wedding date, but unfortunately they weren’t. Lucky for us, we found another photographer in their network, who has a similar clean and classic style. If you’re looking for a photographer who will give you a timeless look, and doesn’t overly process your images to create Instagram on steroids (however trendy that is), then this is your photographer!

Brynn and Michael – aka BAM! – are amazing. They’re amazing photographers, idea-givers, and people! My husband and I are completely thrilled with the fact that we had D’avello Photography for our wedding; we can’t even imagine it any other way. They helped make the actual wedding day (and even the times leading up to that day) special and wonderful. Not only do we have fantastic wedding photos, but we also gained new friends! If you’re looking for hard-working, faithful, professional, and wonderful photographers to capture your special day, you better choose BAM! With Michael’s keen eye for the perfect shot, and Brynn’s expertise in wedding ideas, this dynamic duo will be a great addition to your memorable day.

We were lucky enough to learn about the D’Avello team through friends. When we saw their engagement pictures, and we were sold. Every interaction with Brynn and Mike was professional and above all FANTASTIC. We were lucky enough to have them travel half way across the US to our destination wedding in Puerto Rico. Flexible and possessing a great sense of humor we couldn’t have a better team handling our wedding. When we got our pictures back (which by the way the turn around time was beyond quick!) we were stunned! The images were amazing. Our family loved them just as much as we did.
Hands down, the A-team is the best. Our Engagement Pictures, Wedding Pictures, and someday our baby pictures have been the best. We have been so lucky to meet two of the most engaging and passionate people I have every met! To work with these two guarantees the best work ever!
Anna & Chris
Mike and Brynn are full of talent, professionalism and charm. They captured our wedding day beautifully and had fun with it! We were so happy with choosing them to photograph our day, and our engagement session! We could not have asked for a better photography team! Thank you, Brynn and Mike- you guys rule. 🙂
Ashley & Ken
Mike and Brynn work as a team. They are incredibly creative, passionate, loyal, and professional. I trusted them from the very beginning and am so happy with my photos. They take their business very seriously and it shows! Mike is the one who probably dreams in film and brynn is not only wonderful with the camera but she really helps everyone feel comfortable and helps organize your ginormous wedding party! It’s not just about having the best cameras (which they do) it’s about the WHOLE package…THEY ARE IT! Their website truly defines their work and you get what you see. No surprises! I hope to work with them in the future and as a bridal hair stylist I would recommend them to any of my bride clients. PS. They are classy and cool and If anyone who’s been to an event before where you can’t stop staring at the photographers unkept clothes or unorganized gagets…. They are Modern and chic and you won’t be embarrassed with your photographers. Trust me I’m picky as heck and I was the #1 bridezilla and I truly believe in their work.

The D’Avellos are AMAZING! I cannot sing their praises enough. My husband and I are shy and awkward at first meeting and we definitely aren’t what one would call photogenic, but Brynn & Mike did a great job at making us feel not only comfortable but also like we had made new awesome friends, and they also managed to make us look nice in photographs and not like complete awkward beasts that we are. We are over the moon happy & in love with both our engagement and wedding day photography, and we couldn’t have picked better, more professional, nicer, kick ass photographers to document one of the most important days in our lives. They were so wonderful to work with, they listened to our wants and needs and did everything possible to meet them, they remembered important details about our family dynamics, and captured them on our wedding day. From the first contact they were WAY helpful, courteous and friendly, they understood that we were working with a budget (I mean who isn’t these days right?) and they worked with us to create a reasonable package that would best fit our photo & financial needs & wants. Not once did we feel pressured to do/pay MORE or like we were getting less than other clients because of our budget. Brynn is so quick with replying to emails, phone calls, text messages, heck she’d probably manage to reply to smoke signals and messenger pigeons in a timely manner. She was also sweet as pie and always indulged in my crazy Bride-to-Be million and one ridiculous questions that I had.
We are recommending and signing the praises of the D’Avello’s to anyone and everyone who might listen. They captured all the little details of our wedding so amazingly, all the tiny things we worked WAY hard at putting together and may have not gotten a chance at really capturing in our minds due to the craziness that is one’s wedding day. Brynn & Mike made our wedding photo vision a reality and we definitely feel we have found our family photographers for years, memories and events to come.
Claudia & Eric
Loved working with Mike and Brynn! We live in SF but were having the wedding in Newport Beach. We had a limited budget, but they were super accommodating and made it work – we were able to have an engagement session in my favorite city, here in SF of course, and then have them be our photographers in OC for the wedding. Most people probably haven’t done photo shoots in the past, but they put us at ease from the very beginning. There were no “glamour shot” photos that looked awkward, they were able to find angles/poses/shots that made us look like us.
The pictures for both came out natural and made us look awesome! The little touches they add throughout the process makes you feel like you are their most important clients! 🙂
Sang & Antonio
Team Davello is fantastic!! They truly did an amazing job both with our engagement shoot and especially at our wedding! They are so easy to work with, great photographers and work ethic. Best of all, they’re fun fabulous people! We look forward to future shoots with them whence our family starts to grow… we recommend them 100%.
Sean & Amy
Mike and Brynn are amazing! They did our engagement session, our wedding and my business shoots! They are both very personable! This is a huge benefit because once they know you, they will be able to capture the pictures that make the most sense to you as a couple. They catch the personalities in every photo and GO THE EXTRA MILE and take pictures that were not even requested. Brynn even hand delivered me my desert because no one else thought to get us our desert. Clean photos, bright colors, and EVERY moment captured! Thank you Mike and Brynn, you will be our life long photographers!
Anna & Charles
I absolutely loved everything Mike and Brynn did with our wedding pictures. They are both so talented and funny, they made our wedding day so much better and knew exactly what we wanted. Thank you Mike and Brynn. I love D’avello Photography!
Brenda & Andy
Mike and Brynn are not only some of the most talented and gifted photographers we have seen, but also some of the best people we have met. Mike and Brynn make you feel very comfortable and ensure to capture all the moments for your unforgettable day. I would recommend the D’Avello’s to any couple who are looking for high quality photos without the ridiculous prices, not to mention the benefit of knowing you will be receiving amazing photos.
The D’Avello gang was so incredible to work with! My husband and I are both college students working on a budget, and they completely understood and worked with us to come up with a deal that included what we wanted for a price we could afford. Plus, they were so fun to be around! On the way to take our engagements, my husband was telling me how much he hates having his picture taken… as we were leaving the shoot, he turns to me and says, “You know, that was a lot of fun.” The pictures are beautiful, the atmosphere is fun, and the quality of work is amazing.
Susie & Drew
Brynn and Mike Davello are amazing photographers!!! Not only are they professional and take gorgeous photographs, they are also very down to earth and friendly! My husband and I had so much fun at our engagement session and Brynn and Mike captured every special moment at our July wedding. We are very fortunate to have had them as our wedding photographers and we will treasure the photos they took. My friends and family were also very impressed by them; we all felt very comfortable around them. Thank you Davello for making our wedding so amazing! You’re the best!!!
Katy & Chris
We can’t even begin to explain what an absolutely delightful experience we had with Brynn and Mike from start to finish. Not only did they do our engagement and wedding pictures, which were beautiful and everything we wished for, but Brynn gave us ideas for a theme for invitations, cake and reception. They also helped us decide where we should plan our venue that most appropriately fit the style of wedding and reception we had in mind. Brynn is a wealth of information and unique ideas. She is extremely gifted and creative. Mike has the experience that made us comfortable being in front of a camera. When we decided to have the ceremony outside, Mike and Brynn recommended the best timing of day to plan on for the best lighting for our photos. There wasn’t any detail left to chance. I couldn’t believe how unobtrusive they were during the ceremony and the reception, you hardly knew they were there and they were able to capture our perfect moments. We will treasure our experience and our memories that were captured in the most artistic way in a book of beautiful pictures with friends and family. We love Brynn and Michael!
Stephanie & Hallie
We really loved them! They are a loving, married couple so it was fun to have them as our photographers on our wedding day. My Husband hates taking pictures and didn’t want to spend a lot of time getting photographed; however, he told me (after the fact) he really enjoyed these two photographers and didn’t mind taking the pictures because they were so friendly. I would recommend them to anyone who wants fun, creative, and professional photographs!
Kylie & Tanner
They arrived as our photographers and left as our friends….
D’Avello photography are a wonderfully laid back husband and wife team who compliment each other perfectly when they’re on the job. We had an engagement shoot and our wedding photography done by them and we were (and still are) thrilled with the results. They helped us relax, be natural and they took care of the rest. They did a wonderful job of capturing those wedding moments without being obtrusive and they were very patient with some of our guests whose eagerness to capture the moment saw them get in the way. Their turnaround time for our wedding pictures was exceptionally fast compared to what I’ve seen previously and they can arrange to have prints of any size or description made for you at reasonable prices. Give D’Avello a call.
Melissa & Peter
I just wanted to take a moment to brag on my wedding photographers! They are a husband and wife team we intimately refer to as BAM! Brynn and Mike Davello make up the amazing team of Davello Photography. They are based out of Southern California, but I know they are willing to travel to any destination to capture your wonderful day! They did such a great job capturing not only the details of our wedding but also our personalities and our unique love! I just cant say enough about them! I could not have been happier with everything and our guests couldnt stop talking about how much they loved them! here is a link to a snapshot of our wedding and also a link to their home page website! Please check them out if you have not yet decided on a photographer!

We adore Brynn and Mike and the magnificent work they do! We have been so deeply pleased and delighted with the entire photography experience, which surprised me, since I don’t feel very comfortable in front of a camera or with too much focused attention on myself. They both made my husband and I feel at ease. They are totally on top of the business side of things, and extremely gifted and creative when it comes to getting gorgeous shots at just the right angle or setting. From engagement photos to the wedding day, we felt taken care of and celebrated for the qualities that made us unique. Once we got over any initial jitters in our first session, we had fun with them and never felt like we were being told what to do or how to look, and were always encouraged to be natural, feel good and let our personalities shine. Their prices are very reasonable, and they do a great deal to put a special, personal touch on each stage of the process. I will always be grateful to them for the marvelous pictures of our wedding day—it is such an emotional, overwhelming time, and it is surprisingly easy to feel like it was all a dream and remember only bits and pieces of the day. Brynn and Mike’s collective eye captured truly tender, funny, loving moments between my husband and I and our guests. I will happily recommend D’Avello Photography to anyone who wants a wonderful and satisfying photography experience, whether it is for a wedding, new baby, special event, or just because. They are the best around.

When it came to photography, my fiancé and I had met with several other photographers. I was getting so overwhelmed by all the options. Then we met with Brynn and Mike. My fiancé and I decided as we walked to the car that we wanted them to do our photos. Why? Because of how personal they were, that their photography was amazing, and that they had things that no other photographer had. They were amazing at how they were able to really capture the vision of the weddings before us. So when we met with them for our engagement session they were so professional and a whole lot of fun. We are big “uno” card players, and they did some really cute poses with our uno cards. When the wedding day came they were there early and it was so great because they really put a lot of things that were so personal to me and my family in the pictures. That made it so much more special. My overall view of them is amazing. I have told everyone “I love my photographers!” I am so thankful for how hard they worked, because they did such a fabulous job! Thank you Brynn and Mike!!!
Tricia & Brian
Mike and Brynn are amazing people! They took their time with us and really made us feel comfortable. My husband and I are not big on being the center of attention so we thought we would be a little anxious about being the main object of the photos but that wasn’t the case at all! We both enjoyed the time taking pictures more than the ceremony itself! I would highly recommend D’Avello Photography to anyone I meet!
