The Artists Behind the Artwork - Meet Our Creative Team 2026

Hello there! If you’re reading this, it might be because one of our recent emails landed in your inbox, or perhaps curiosity led you here on its own. Either way, we are truly glad you found us. There is always something special about those first moments when creative paths cross, so instead of letting an email serve as our only introduction, we wanted to create a space where you could get to know who we are and what drives our passion at Bryan White Photography + Art.

At its core, ours is a full-service art and design studio built around a single guiding philosophy: creating work that endures. In an era dominated by fleeting digital snapshots and temporary trends, we dedicate ourselves to crafting pieces of art designed to be treasured for generations. Whether we are capturing a moment today or restoring a memory from decades ago, our goal remains the same: to transform a vision into something tangible, timeless, and profoundly meaningful.

The beauty of working across both photography and traditional art mediums means no project is too intimate nor too ambitious. We find an enriching fulfillment in the deeply personal work. We partner with families to compose portraits that honor their unique bonds, painstakingly preserve ancestral photographs before time fades them further, and elevate cherished vacation memories into heirloom artwork worthy of a place on your wall. These are your stories entrusted to us, and we take such joy in being able to help you carry them further for future generations.

Our studio thrives when taking creativity out into the larger world and bringing it back again. From sweeping business murals that define the character of a workspace to meticulously crafted pop-culture monuments destined for homes or commercial galleries, we love playing with scale and style.

At the heart of everything is our owner and artist, Bryan. As the driving creative force behind the studio, Bryan believes the most important part of any project happens before a brush ever touches canvas or a camera shutter clicks into place. He works side-by-side with each client through detailed consultations to ensure every vision is captured exactly as intended.

Once the concept is locked in, Bryan pushes forward, shooting, painting, and creatively leading his team across the finish line. And if your piece needs that final touch? You might just find Bryan personally hanging the framed and finished piece on your wall at home or office himself.

Running alongside him is Blayne, Bryan's wife, co-owner and the business engine keeping this operation humming. Blayne serves as our head of staff and the hidden figure behind nearly every business decision made within these walls. If you visit us in person, the clean, chic, and welcoming environment you step into was designed entirely by her eye for detail. Blayne handles all the heavy lifting on the business side so that creativity can flourish uninterrupted. She is the foundation upon which we build.

When it comes to bringing raw images to their highest potential, look no further than Alyx. Bryan's daughter, and our resident photo editing wizard, Alyx transforms photographs through meticulous retouching, ensuring families look stunning while preserving what makes them unique. Beyond digital work, she assists Bryan with layouts for mixed media pieces and even creates original illustrations for clients seeking something cute and fun! Like much of our core team, Alyx brings a rigorous academic pedigree to the table as a graduate of the renowned Savannah College of Art and Design, traditionally trained in fine arts to handle any creative challenge thrown her way.

Supporting both Alyx and the rest of the studio is Logan. Logan steps in wherever needed most, absorbing some of Alyx’s editing duties when things get hectic and providing vital assistance with photography shoots to ensure we capture everything throughout the year. But perhaps his most crucial role happens last: Logan handles all framing at the studio. He is the final pair of hands to touch every single piece before it leaves our care, ensuring the presentation matches the artistry inside. Also a proud SCAD graduate with traditional training in fine art, and like the rest of the crew embodies the "no job too daunting" ethos we pride ourselves on.

And then there's Shannon. On any major photography shoot, Shannon is indispensable, Bryan's go-to assistant who manages the logistics behind the lens. By keeping Bryan organized, she frees him up completely to focus on getting that perfect shot. She lays the organizational ground work before capture and creation. When she isn't organizing chaos on location or helping with tasks around the office, this fellow SCAD alum also applies her formal artistic training to whatever project needs her expertise.

Between three SCAD graduates and Bryan's degree in painting from LaGrange College, you can trust that no matter how ambitious your vision may be, we have the classical training and contemporary skill to bring it to fruition.

Of course, creativity has its stressful moments. Which is why we also employ Rosie, without whom nothing would get done. Our beloved office pup doesn't worry about composition, color theory, or deadlines. Her entire job description consists of offering tail wags and nuzzles whenever the team (or our clients) need them most. Rosie reminds us all to breathe, smile, and remember that making art should always be a joy.

Whether you're looking to preserve a fleeting moment for generations to come or envisioning something bold and new for your walls, our studio doors are open and ready to welcome you. We invite you to reach out today, schedule a tour of our gallery space and let us help tell your unique story through art. Until then, take care!

Happy Earth Day 2024

Fun fact: We were one of the first photographers in the country to change our business to positively impact the environment. While we admit we still have some work to do to reduce our carbon footprint, we made huge decision way back in early 90’s that completely changed our photography business and became environmentally friendly before that was even a thing. Read on…

Ditch the Proofs

This was our brochure for the new way of delivering wedding portraits mere days after the wedding. No one else in the southeast, was doing anything like this. It was exciting and completely terrifying at the time, but this decision ensured that we were an in demand wedding photographer and we started booking weddings up to two years in advance.

Way back when we first opened our studio and began photographing weddings in 1991, printed paper proofs were the standard delivery process for newly wedded couples. It was expensive - and wasteful. It was typical to print about 150-200 small prints, place them in an album that was passed around throughout the family and then discarded. When you’re doing 50+ weddings per year, that is a lot of wasted chemicals and photo paper.

Enter Chris Norris, an entrepreneur who sent a letter touting his newly developed software that would revolutionize the wedding photography business, saving time and money and increasing sales. As the company CFO, the Production Manager/Actual Production Department and VP of Marketing (Bryan and I each wear a lot of hats), I was intrigued and set up an appointment.

Chris drove up in a van with his family, and looking back, I can’t believe we let him into the house with his giant computer case. He proceeded to hook up everything to our television and demonstrated how we could photograph a wedding, scan the negatives, and present a slideshow set to music to our blissful couples the weekend they returned from their honeymoon! And wait, there’s more! We could then immediately design an album on the television screen, showing the selected images in the album pages and then flip through the entire book so the couple could see what it would look like before placing their order. (I wish I had a photo of the television screen to share.)

Wow. We were blown away. We kept sitting there watching as Chris demonstrated each feature, wanting it, but realizing it had to be expensive. It was unprecedented. It was exciting. And yes, it was expensive. It was $14,000!

But we realized the value in this process and took out a loan instead of buying the new car we needed. I learned how to manually scan the images with a video editor and a contraption called a Fotovix. It was unwieldy and time consuming, but I was determined to make it work. I learned the DOS software and became pretty quick at creating an album so that the couple could see their choices immediately, weaving their love story into a visual slideshow that brought them to tears almost every time.

While most photographers took about a month to deliver paper proofs in an album, we were delivering a finished album in the same amount of time! More importantly, the couples took great pride in knowing they designed their own album (mostly) themselves. It was priceless. We became a very in-demand studio through word of mouth and began booking weddings up to two years in advance.

At the time, we didn’t even know what ‘carbon footprint’ meant, but we knew printing photos that were thrown in the trash was wasteful and unnecessary. We began using this digital process for our portrait clients, as well, and have never looked back.
