History

Established in 1999.

In 1999 I began Phoenix Photography and focused my efforts exclusively toward wedding photography. Running that business for 9 years was fantastic and an incredible learning experience. In addition to working with amazing couples and highly talented industry professionals, I developed my photographic abilities to a whole new level. As I have moved forward and become more comfortable with the work I’ve put out, I decided it was time to leave Phoenix Photography behind. In July 2008 I launched Brant Bender Photography, a new business that better reflects the kind of work I deliver today.

I am no longer hiding behind a name. Brant Bender Photography is the culmination of all that I have learned in the wedding industry over the last decade. My website, www​.Brant​Ben​der​.com, illustrates much of my wedding photography.

I am grateful for a fulfilling career and am continuously excited about what lies ahead. I appreciate your support and interest.

Meet the Business Owner

Brant B.

Business Owner

As is evident, I love to take photographs. I always have. In fact, my professional career started while I was in high school. At the age of 16 I started working for the Pomerado News Group, focusing on sports and community news. I continued working while in college freelancing for United Press International (UPI). My photojournalism work has been published in USA Today, The San Diego Union-​Tribune, and The Houston Chronicle, to name a few. I enjoyed those early years covering news events but always dreamt of owning my own photography business.
