Gin & Sake Productions

I can’t say enough good things about Brandon and his team. We hired him for our wedding and engagement photos. I had asked the world of Facebook if anyone knew of a great photographer in Vegas and he was recommended by 2 different friends that have no relation to each other. He was quick with his responses to my emails and a huge help to figure out the «style» we were going for and since I had no idea at all, it was a huge help.
We did our engagement sessions out near Red Rock Canyon and they were beautiful!
Our wedding photos were even better and he did such a great job of capturing not only great posed pictures… But also some of the best moments of the reception.
I would HIGHLY recommend him and his team to anyone for any event. He is super down to earth, very friendly and extremely talented.
Thanks for everything Brandon! You rocked our socks off!!!

Brandon did an excellent job with my engagement photos. He was excellent to work with, accommodating, and produced high quality photos.
Price: For the quality of work and the level of professionalism demonstrated the experience was definitely worth the price tag.
Customer Service: Brandon was very helpful with providing location ideas, responded to emails and questions in a timely manner and was very professional.
Production: The turnaround time on Brandon’s work is excellent. Within 7 business days I had a link to my digital files available for download and print at my leisure.

If there was an option to give Gin & Sake 100 stars I would, 5 stars just doesn’t seem like enough!
Brandon and Jill were beyond accommodating, professional, laid-​back (in the way me as a bride could completely appreciate), flexible, and more than a pleasure to work with on our wedding day and our engagement session. We received our edited files so quickly after both our photo shoots with them and they were able to capture not only what we wanted, but more than we could have imagined!
If you are interested in great photography, an awesome personality, and a truly talented artist, hire Gin & Sake for any of your photography needs!

Brandon is a photography God!!! My wife and I got married on 8÷15÷15 and we already have our photos back! 6 day turn around time, including shipping to Chicago!!! That is unheard of!!! (It should be noted, he also sent us some of the proofs the next day! 20 hour turn around for some of the proofs!!!) The photos are absolutely amazing. There are some truly stunning shots — I am blow away by some of our pictures. On the day of the Wedding both Brandon and Jill were super amazing — they made my very large wedding party feel totally comfortable, they came up with some really awesome shots and they stayed the entire wedding — 12 hours at a totally reasonable price. Prior to the wedding, my communication with Brandon was super! He responds quickly and even put in extra work to help us find a videographer, florist, etc. when we asked for recommendations. Book Gin & Sake — you won’t regret it. Brandon is a true professional, super talented and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!!

We booked Gin and Sake for our wedding shoot. They were absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. I can’t say enough good things about them and would recommend them for anyone looking for something really unique and special for their own photo shoot.
When I started doing research for my wedding, I was looking for a photographer who was capable of creating images which were a little more unusual than most. What immediately spiked my attention was some of the more quirky photos on the website — this was exactly the sort of thing i was looking for. We were having a 1920’s theme, and I wanted to get some images that made you feel like you had actually gone back in time. In addition, my partner thought it would be a good idea to do a photo shoot with the entire wedding party — so we had laid out quite the challenge.
Brandon certainly did not disappoint. In one of the first emails back to me, he suggested that we get the group together during the reception to shoot some portraits in costume, so that he could re-​create a Gatsby styled movie poster. This was such a great idea — I was sold the minute he came up with it!
During our shoot, I could tell that Brandon came well researched and prepared for a great day. Happily squeezing into a party bus chock a block full of crazy Aussies — he took the group to some of the most fabulous and unusual locations around Vegas. One of the most memorable places we stopped was down an alleyway which contained really great industrial signs, pipes and streetlights in the background. We got the most perfect Old-​Hollywood photos at this location — some individual… some group… all awesome!
Beyond this fabulous pre-​wedding shoot, in my opinion, the thing that really cemented Brandon’s skills and flair for photography, is how well he was able to capture all of the moments across the whole event. From the second the doors swung open at the ceremony, right through all of the speeches, and afterwards at the reception. he was able to effectively depict everyone’s expressions and reactions perfectly. As a directly result of his professional capability, I am now able to remember all of the parts of the ceremony and different moments during the speeches in great detail. The day goes by so quickly and would otherwise be such a blur.
All of the photos we have received are superb. Words can’t fully express how thrilled we are with each and every one of them. The back street photos were spot on… our fantastic group photos with everyone in costume with our props and the awesome industrial background… the glamour photos presented in black and white which made us look like movies stars, the spectacular coverage of the ceremony and the reception, and finally the Gatsby posters!
The images that Brandon and Jill have been able to create well beyond our wildest imagination. We are so grateful to have the most fabulous memento to enjoy for the rest of our lives. Thanks so much Gin and Sake — you guys are the best!

Planned our Las Vegas wedding from Colorado and we were super happy with Brandon and Jill from Gin & Sake Productions. I found them on a random wedding blog and liked the vibe of the photos on their website. I’m a crazy obsessive researcher by nature (is that a Capricorn thing?) and it wasn’t easy to make a decision about big wedding details like dresses and food and photos because I had this overwhelming fear of failure and leaving guests bored. People told me that photography is the number one most important part of a wedding because a good photographer can make a mediocre wedding look pretty special. A bad photographer will miss the important moments and make your $ 20k wedding look like a backyard barbecue.
We were looking for a photographer who would relax when it came to all of those canned stereotypical posed wedding photos. Our wedding wasn’t the big fat traditional blowout. We’re a bit older than most couples (not THAT old). We skipped having a procession of bridesmaids and a million groomsmen. We decided to forgo all of the wedding toasting and the Electric Slide and the Cupid Shuffle. We chose a pretty unique setting and hoped for good weather and natural lighting. We wanted a lot of candids that still looked lovely. We wanted our pictures to read like a documentary film montage. Gin & Sake absolutely delivered. Brandon and Jill stayed with us from around noon through the end of our reception… even longer than we had originally contracted for.
At the end of the night, after they left, Brandon texted me a picture he liked from the day. It was a great moment and left us pretty excited to see the rest of their work. I asked Brandon to manipulate a couple photos to have that Instagram Earlybird filter effect to match our retro wedding and those photos looked great. He made a digital album of about 100 photos available for a couple weeks while he got our photo disc ready to mail. When we got the disc (he had a super fast turnaround) we were surprised and pumped to see that there were hundreds and hundreds of photos and a lot of the them were worth blowing up and framing.
I truly believe we got lucky in stumbling upon Gin & Sake Productions. Their pricing was great, it absolutely fit our modest budget, and their attention to details was more than we could have asked for. Plus, they’re just really cool people.

After looking into various photographs in the Las Vegas area my fiancé (now husband) and I decided on Gin&Sake. Looking through their website I immediately fell in love with their photography style, and after emailing Brandon back and forth I was even more sold. It seemed right off the bat he knew what I wanted from our pictures. Their pricing is great and Brandon really puts a lot of effort into getting as many shots as possible in great locations. Jill was super helpful as well in helping my fiancé and I relax since I’m super awkward in photos. I just saw the pictures and they are AMAZING! If you want beautiful, well priced photos with a professional who knows what hes doing then definitely go with Gin&Sake!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Not just the pictures, but Brandon & Jill as well!!!
They were so easy to work with… from setting up an appointment to the actual shoot. We had our engagement photos taken at the Neon Museum and old town Vegas. We LOVE how the pictures turned out… very modern and not“cheesy” (our special request) and they were so open to letting us be ourselves and giving our own vision/​suggestions. And best of all, Brandon had the pictures in our inbox in 2 days!
If we weren’t having our wedding in the Philippines, we would’ve wanted to use them for the wedding too! Super fun and we can’t wait to have another reason to shoot with them again!

I got married on October 3, 2014. I scoured the internet looking for photographers and came across Gin and Sake Productions. We really liked their style and met with Brandon to discuss our save the date pictures. He was professional and gave us great advice so that we could get the best photos and we did. We had him shoot us again for our wedding because we loved the save the date photos so much. They were the only vendor during the whole process of planning our wedding that was perfect and as such, the only vendor that I would recommend to anyone. Brandon and Jill are both fun, professional, amazing photographers.

Gin & Sake/​Brandon & Jill photographed my son and new daughters wedding on Friday, August 8^th. I have never seen a couple that are so professional, yet down to earth. They were so fun to work with and knew exactly how to interact with everyone. They are so personable! They also shot the engagement photos and they are absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt the wedding photos will be top notch. Thank you Brandon and Jill for the greatest experience.

Brandon was awesome! He joined me and my fiancé and our friends/​family for a pre wedding cocktail party bus tour around vegas. He made some great recommendations for photos/​locations and the pictures came out beautiful! He delivered the pictures to us before we had even returned from our honeymoon. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking to photograph a non traditional wedding event!

I honestly don’t know why Gin & Sake only has one 5-​star review, while the rest of the 5-​star reviews are filtered (btw, you can see the rest of the reviews by clicking on the grey link below this page).
Oh wait, I do know why.
It’s because Unilocal’s approval system is convoluted and only approves reviews from Unilocalers who are super active (you must have a lot of Unilocal friends, leave a crap ton of *balanced* reviews, leave tips, check-​in all the time, post in the forums, etc. all of which the filtered reviewers were lacking). So I went out of my way to be active just so that businesses can get the quality critque they deserve.
Gin & Sake is one of them, and even though 99% of their reviews are filtered, *do not* take them with a grain of salt. Honestly, I cannot stress enough how amazing it was to work with Brandon, one of the people that run this company.
After shopping around the web for Vegas wedding photographers, my groom and I settled with Gin & Sake. They had the most reasonable prices for a small, military wedding (protip: always ask photographers for a military discount whenever you request for quotes!), especially with the packages they offered.
Brandon usually works with Jill, but since my groom and I only needed one photographer for our 18-​guest wedding, Brandon was the one to shoot our wedding. Since groom and I are complete model dorks (mind you, we did not have time to do an engagement session beforehand, so we weren’t prepped to work the lenses, America’s Next Top Model-​style), we felt a bit awkward and didn’t have any ideas of our own on what poses we wanted to do for our private, pre-​ceremony shoot at the Smith Center. Yet Brandon was incredibly helpful in easing us into the photo session, and our pictures came out looking fantastic!
He really knows how to work natural moments into his pictures, and the usage of lighting and composition is second nature to him.
He will do some post-​processing for some of best photos in a set, although if you want to have more edited, just ask (it may cost more). If you want to do your own editing, just get permission from him to do so.
Regardless, every photo comes out looking fantastic; my groom and I are very satisfied with our decision to have Brandon on board as our wedding photographer!

When it came time for me to do a photoshoot for a project, there was no doubt in my mind I had to even second guess as to who would shoot it. Brandon’s work exceeds anyone else’s because he not only has a creative eye but a great personality and is beyond exceptional to work with. He doesn’t just sit there and take the pictures, he will give you ideas on how to pose and what looks the best. His number one priority is to make sure you get the best photos anyone could ever take.

All I have to say is AWESOME!
I first contacted Brandon (Pro Photo Mounts) a couple of years ago through a random search on the internet for ‘plexiglass mounted artwork’. The first piece I had them produce for me was for custom photograph for a client. At the time I was unfamiliar with this printing/​mounting process and Brandon patiently answered my MANY questions. I was blown away when I received the finished piece, so was my client. A few months later I had another ‘plexiglass mounted photo made for the same client. Again, AWESOME.
There is no comparison for the plexi mounted photo. It is clean lined and pops with color. I have worked with many different labs in my photography career and this is one of the most personable.
I recently moved to a new modern house and it required modern art. So I immediately thought of Brandon and Pro Photo Mounts. I had 11 photographs that I wanted Plexi mounted. I contacted them for a price inquiry (they were all custom sizes). We exchanges a few emails, and he informed me that they had changed the paper that the photographs were to be printed on. I was nervous, because I loved the two he previously made and had that vision in my head. Through our conversation, Brandon explained the difference in the papers and convinced me I would love the final result. He was not mistaken.
The ‘plexiglass mounted artwork’ seems like it is a bit on the pricey side. But when you factor in the cost of making the print and then bringing that print to a frame shop to have matted and framed, it is very reasonable. Plus the artwork looks like it is floating on the wall. No frame to distract from the image. Just the art. I can not say enough good.
Aside from the beautifully executed final pieces, Brandon has been a joy to work with and I would recommend him 100%
