Meet Dessie: The Heart and Soul of Brandess Media
Dessie is a passionate wedding photographer with a love for singing—you’ll often catch her humming tunes while editing photos in her workspace. She is a devoted follower of the Lord and has a servant’s heart, always eager to help others. Currently, Dessie is pursuing her Graphic Illustration degree at Wilmington University. She’s also worked at Walt Disney World, the Happiest Place on Earth, as a server assistant.
Dessie’s journey into photography began at a young age in the Philippines, where she borrowed cameras from classmates to fuel her passion. With a self-driven spirit and a deep love for people, she worked hard to save for her first professional camera after moving to America to reunite with her mother. Dessie’s determination and creativity led to the founding of Brandess Media, where she now shares her talents with couples, capturing unforgettable moments.
We are beyond grateful for what God has done through our business and look forward to creating beautiful memories with our clients.
