I’ve had Brad restore two photos and his work is just excellent. In one case he seamlessly fixed a torn photo that was from around 1900 and irreplaceable. In the other he took a photo from the 1920’s that had its corners cropped to fit an oval frame and through some manner of sorcery restored it to a rectangle and I can’t tell where he culled the newly added areas from but it’s perfect. His work is exacting but it is not fast and he will be the first to tell you that. If you want something done once, done right and priced quite reasonably, I enthusiastically endorse Brad Edwards Creative. - Gregg M. Victoria

I had a weathered and beaten circa 1970s photo of my old fishing boat (now converted into a part-time living space) that I hoped to restore. I felt this was beyond my abilities with photoshop and with the programs I currently own, so I looked online for a solution and found Brad Edwards.

The photo restoration is almost unbelievable. I was impressed with Brad's ongoing communication, professionalism during the process and feel the price was fair. I asked if a second adjustment was possible--as the original looked a bit underexposed to me in hindsight--and Brad did this with enthusiasm. The attention to detail as far as wrapping the package and including a thank you card were also appreciated. I will use Brad Edwards again if I have another image to restore or any other project he specializes in.

Brad took a small black and white photo of my parents and was able to clean it up and expand it into something wonderful and alive. The framing was excellent too. When I gave it to my Mother as a gift, she was in tears for a long time at how beautiful it looked and told me it was as if my late Father was looking at her. I cannot put into words how powerful of a gift this was thanks to the time and care Brad put into this project for us.

Brad's kindness, care and painstaking attention to detail in restoring a cherished family photo from an old paper photocopy to a high quality, beautifully framed imaged restored my faith in the goodness of humans! Thank you Brad.

I searched for portrait photographer near me and discovered this website. Brad Edwards has definitely got a deep sense of photography and capturing the right moment in right time. I would highly recommend to check out his work and support this local artist based in Victoria.

Very pleased with Brad's restoration, of a most difficult photo. Photo were missing parts and had been folded and was badly faded. Brad is very relatable, a pleasure to deal with and you will be happy with your results!

So here is my story....

I mentioned to my husband that I didn’t have many pictures of myself with my two grandsons. I often have my iPhone handy and take lots of pics of them with each other or my husband etc. so that started him thinking.

Brad must have been happy to jump onboard to do a photo shoot that I had no idea was happening! He claimed to have just purchased some fancy lens for one of his cameras and wanted to practice on some “moving targets” such as 2 and 4 year old boys. He dropped over and did a few shots of the kids and then asked me to sit with the kids for a minute as well. A few more pictures taken and then Brad casually said “good enough” and thanked us for letting him take a few shots. The kids love him anyway but he was amazing with them!

Jumping forward? Magic must have taken place because Brad did “whatever it is” that professional photographers do! The photographs are stunning! Memories have been made! Family treasures have been created. Brad, how you pulled this off I do not know but let me tell you, I am beyond grateful!

This photo was over 100 years old and coming apart, Brad saved it.
Very impressive, I can identify my grandfather driving the first team of horses.
You have preserved a piece of family history for us.
I can't thank you enough. Have just shown your work to my golfing buddys, and will recommend you to many more.

Anyone can take staged family photos - what sets Brad apart is his keen eye for the  true gems: candid shots.  If you are in the market for an event photographer (or two...Brad's wife Cici has a totally different perspective, so I suggest you go with the team), you're in good hands.  

Brad’s portfolio of concerts, business promo events and weddings gives a good sense of what you get. Easy to work with, reasonably priced and very open to suggestions, Brad Edwards Creative is the obvious choice for capturing your special day!

We hired Brad for our wedding in July and could not be happier with the results. From our first meeting with Brad it was clear that he understood our vision. Beyond taking the time to understand what we were after, Brad also guided us through the process. He helped us with timing, location, and making a list of our must-have photos. On our wedding day, this list was invaluable! Not only was Brad organized and efficient, his expertise and energy made having our photos taken one of the best moments of the day. He knew how to guide us and make the experience fun and exciting. When we opened our photo album we were beyond impressed at the quality of the photos and the number of special moments that were captured. Looking through the photos brings us right back to the big day, with all of the incredible emotions that we experienced in the moment. Brad is truly talented and made our day extra special. He exceeded our expectations in every way and we would highly recommend him for any type of event.

Simply put, Brad was amazing. He accompanied my extended family for a weekend to take pictures of my in-laws 55th wedding anniversary celebration. He took fantastic photos - both staged and candid shots. He captured our time together beautifully and put it all together in a lovely slide show with music that we could watch over and over again. Brad was incredibly easy to work with and beyond helpful. I would highly recommend him.

My Fiance and I just got our engagement photos back from PIV Photography and we could not be happier! They turned out great! Our whole experience was enjoyable (and easy!) from start to finish. Our emails were answered right away and Brad was more than willing to work within our limited budget. We will definitely be recommending PIV Photography to our friends and family!

Brad Edwards Creative is one of the top event photography companies in Victoria (if not the best). As a local musician, promoter and event organizer, I have seen photographs from many event photographers in the city and found that BEC consistently provides high quality photographs that truly capture the emotion and beauty in every subject. I am particularly impressed with the work of Brad and BEC in low-lighting environments like bars, clubs and dances. His eye is uncanny and he knows how to capture the best aspects of every performance. I wholeheartedly recommend BEC for any concert or special event.

Myself and my now husband, spent hours scouring the internet for the right photographers for our October 2015 wedding. Once I came acrossBEC, I immediately decided they had the best artistic style of any local photographers i'd previously looked into and that they would be the one! First of all, we were very happy to be able to book with BEC Photography on extremely short notice (less than 2 months before the event)! They were able to fit us into their schedule, and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. They did an incredible job of quite literally EVERYTHING and then some. To say that they went above and beyond would still be an understatement. Our photo's came quickly after the event, and were beyond anything we could have imagined. Brad Edwards Creative did such a great job, we're already discussing which other kinds of events we can have just to have an excuse to hire them for photography again!
