The name West Rose is inspired from the most joyous, love-filled person we have ever know—our mom, Theresa Rose. She taught us to love people well and then love them some more. She passed away too young from breast cancer. We feel so blessed to honor her name and spirit within our company values.
We value building relationships and serving them well. Being recorded on camera is one of the most vulnerable and intimate things a person can do. It exposes who you are…the real, the raw, the love. We get to document it all and you get to relive.
We both received our BFA in graphic design, but our heartstrings were always pulled towards the art of photography. After a few years doing freelance graphic design & photography, we decided to pursue photographing weddings together!
We are both married and planned our weddings ourselves (Our first mistake— Hello stress). Brandie’s other mistakes were not making enough time for portraits and not hiring a videographer.
Today, using our own life experience as motivation, we do everything possible to ensure our couples don’t miss those special moments as we did.
"Brandie met with me personally to go through details and I truly felt 'heard.' I knew my money was going to a great business and that
I would get the results I desired”

Brandie started her photography career when she was five years old. She started with a disposable camera, excited to take her very first photos of the trees, grass,, and neighbors. In high school, she upgraded to a film camera and her love for photography only grew.
While designing in the corporate world, she continued to take photos, learned the art of flash photography, and how to create and capture flat lays. She soon realized what she craved was the joy that comes with connecting with clients on a deeper level.
Brandie’s art is influenced by her down-to-earth approach to life; finding inspiration in things that bring her joy and push her creative limits.
Emily's passion for photography sparked while studying graphic design in Greece. Experiencing something new while traveling somewhere you've never been. That is the feeling that sparked a love for capturing special moments, people and places for her.
Photography became a huge part of her life while finishing school and learning to navigate grief. She finds joy in capturing others' stories through her perspective.
Emily’s art is influenced by people, culture, and relationships. She believes there is something unique and interesting about every person that deserves to be captured.
Bugs don't scare us. We often have to pick them out of the tulle in our brides' dresses in the summer (yes, even spiders)!
We love good vibes and high energy and under no circumstance will we pass up a song with you on the dance floor.
We love to travel! We were born in Utah and lived there for the first part of our childhood. We will never pass up the opportunity to travel for your wedding & engagement session.
Now that you know everything about us, it’s our turn to get to know you...
