We are so glad we had the chance to work with Gary for our engagement and wedding photography! As you can tell from his portfolio, he has a great eye and talent for capturing love stories and the energy of an event. Beyond his skill with the camera, we really appreciated his communication and organization throughout the wedding planning process. He was available for any questions and helped us plan and adjust our wedding day timeline to fit our vision. Gary made sure our wedding day ran smoothly with his flexibility and fun energy. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed interacting with him. Overall, we had such a positive experience working with Gary and highly recommend him to any future couples!

Working with Gary was a dream come true! He was so sweet and brought incredible energy to our intimate mountain elopement. My partner and I can be quite shy in front of the camera, but Gary acted as a fly on the wall allowing our day to unfold naturally. When posing was necessary he kept the posing very simple as to not make us uncomfortable.
A few hours after our ceremony he even delivered us same day prints in a gorgeous wood box- a perfect keepsake!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Gary! I would definitely recommend having him for your wedding or elopement!!

Kyra & Josh

My husband and I are so thankful to have worked with Gary! We know that we made the right choice in choosing him to capture the most important day of our lives. Gary is creative, kind, passionate about his work, and professional - Gary surpassed our expectations, and we cannot recommend him more! He made us feel at ease throughout the day and was always concerned about how we were feeling and if we were remembering to eat (thanks Gary!) His photos are true masterpieces that we will treasure forever.We cannot wait for him to capture our future milestones!

Gabby + Gauthier

Wow. Just wow. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as fantastic as it was if it weren’t for Gary’s fun, creative, and professional presence there with us throughout the day and evening. He knows exactly how to make you and your future spouse feel like the most important people in the world on the most important day of your lives. Between the two of us, we must have received at least two dozen comments from our guests about how great Gary was, and we couldn’t agree with them more! It’s not even a question: you NEED to hire Gary.

Sarah & Sam

Having Gary as a part of our wedding day was one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did I feel like he truly captured our genuine personalities through the photos, but his attention to detail is unmatched. We’ve only gotten a sneak peek at our pictures so far and we are blown away.
He was so much fun to work with, and truly made us all feel so comfortable and happy.
Having someone who not only takes gorgeous photos but is also wonderful to work with makes me feel so lucky. If you’re looking for that person, Gary is definitely the one.

Sydnie & Mark

Where to even begin. Gary had a huge part in almost every aspect of our wedding, from where to have the ceremony at the venue to what I should do for my nails. He was super easy to communicate with and always responded in a timely manner. Every guest absolutely loved him and raved about him, about how nice he was, how funny and how he got everyone comfortable in front of the camera. All around our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without him there. And then there are the pictures. Absolutely stunning. Made me cry looking at them at how perfectly he captured the day and my husband and I. Highly recommend for any and all events you need a photographer for.

The wedding day of Veronika and Kieran was like an enchanting symphony, composed of joyous laughter, heartfelt tears, and the wild, free-spirited dance moves that reflected their zest for life. Their story of love was narrated in the most beautiful setting, atop the scenic Windham Mountain. On this day, they chose not just to become one, but to do so in the midst of those they held dear, their loved ones who shared in their happiness and excitement. Here's a more detailed look into the moments that were captured from their unforgettable day. The day started with the bride and groom separately preparing for the ceremony, their faces glowing with anticipation and excitement. Veronika, in her delicate and intricately designed wedding gown, looked like a vision of elegance and grace. She was a picture of serenity, her eyes sparkling with the joy of the moment and the promise of the future. Kieran, on the other hand, was the epitome of a dashing groom, his suit fitting him perfectly as he looked into the mirror, mentally preparing himself for the life-changing event. As the ceremony commenced, the Windham Mountain served as an enchanting backdrop. The blue sky overhead was dotted with fluffy clouds, the green expanse spread all around, the air filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers - it was as if nature itself was celebrating their union. The attendees, a blend of family and friends, waited with bated breath as Veronika walked down the aisle, her radiant smile matching the brightness of the day. The moment they exchanged their vows was magical. The world seemed to stand still as they tied the knot, their voices echoing through the mountain range, their words promising a lifetime of love and companionship. Tears of joy were shed, laughter filled the air, and every face reflected happiness that was beyond words. And then came the reception, a riot of celebrations that perfectly captured the spirit of Veronika and Kieran. The wild dance moves were unleashed, the floor shaking with the energy of their loved ones who danced with abandon, celebrating the love story of the newlyweds. The laughter echoed through the mountains, the joy was infectious, and one could not help but get swept up in the festivities. Veronika and Kieran's wedding day was not just a celebration of their love, but also a testament to the love they shared with their friends and family. It was a day filled with memorable moments, each one captured in the frame of time, a timeless memory that they could look back on. And these frames, these snapshots of their wedding day, served as a beautiful reminder of the love, joy, and wild dance moves that marked the beginning of their journey as husband and wife.

Someone once asked me, 'What made you want to be a wedding photographer?' It's a question I've pondered over quite a bit, and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that initially, a part of it was about being able to pay my bills. After all, who doesn't enjoy the financial stability that comes with a steady job?
&nbsp;
However, my journey into photography started during a peculiar time. It was 2020, the world was in lockdown, and I was nursing a broken heart from a failed relationship. I needed a distraction, something to shift my focus and bring a sense of purpose back into my life. That's when I picked up a camera.
&nbsp;
Photography turned out to be more than just a distraction. Through the lens, I began to see love stories that I wished were a part of my past. Each click of the shutter was a moment captured in time, a precious memory forever etched in a photograph. It was as if I was relearning and rediscovering love itself.
&nbsp;
Being a wedding photographer is not just a job for me. It's a privilege. My couples often teach me lessons about love, patience, and forgiveness that no book can explain. For instance, I've learned that it's not cool to dropkick your future husband for coming late from a golf game with his buddies, even if you have every right to be mad. I've also learned that every moment, whether it's filled with joy or tears, is worth celebrating.
&nbsp;
In the end, the satisfaction I get when my couples are happy is an incomparable feeling. It makes every late night editing photos and every stressful wedding day worth it.
&nbsp;
As I share this personal journey, I know my partner is reading this too. She's one of my biggest supporters, and to her, I want to say, 'I'm not dwelling on the past or wishing for a different story. I'm happy where I am.'
&nbsp;
The world of wedding photography has gifted me with the chance to witness and capture love at its purest form. And for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for allowing me to share my 'why' with you. And as they say at the end of a TED talk, 'Thank you for listening.'
