Telling your story starts and ends with you, so let's furnish this chapter of your life with imagery that doesn't skip a beat.
The EXPERIENCE
From start to finish, he made the process easy. With open communication and quick responses, Garrett was always available to answer any of my questions. The day-of, Garrett was a joy to work with. He was direct, efficient, but also allowed my husband and I some time and space to soak up the day. His final product speaks for itself. His immense photographic talent shines through the light, color, and attention to detail in his work. He perfectly captured how elated we felt on the day and now its documented forever <3 My family and I can't thank Him enough!!"
and I really loved how professional he was and his work was absolutely phenomenal! When I finally got engaged, Garrett was at the top of my list and I was so happy when he was available on our date! Unfortunately, our wedding planning took a turn for the worst when the pandemic hit, and Garrett was so patient and understanding when I changed things on him at least 2384784564 times. Fast forward to our wedding day and every guest was so impressed with him and how he was everywhere snapping candids and portraits. My husband and I definitely are not the most photogenic, but Garrett made us so comfortable and relaxed! The pictures turned out absolutely incredible! He sent us a couple of sneak peek pictures at 12am right after our wedding! Then we received the entire gallery within FIVE days!!!! I don't know how he did it, but he's clearly a magician! So if you're looking for the greatest photographer, who will make you laugh and capture everything you're looking for, all while being extremely professional and in your corner the whole time (even during a pandemic), Garrett is your guy!"
From the very beginning, he communicated well with us which really kept us at ease. On your wedding day, he makes you feel like a million bucks, keeps you laughing, and doesn’t miss any details.. from centerpieces to portraits, to family photos.. everything came out beautiful 😍 Highly highly recommended!"
My fiancé and I booked him for our wedding and engagement session. Our engagement session felt like a date in itself. We laughed, we danced, we kissed, and we loved...Our pictures came less than 2 weeks later and I was thoroughly impressed with the outcome. He gave us more pictures than promised, which meant so much to us. Throughout the session, he told us every pose to do, face to make, motion to perform, etc, until we became more comfortable and natural. He even brought the music along to set the mood. The pictures are breathtaking and I cannot stop looking at them. I have already received so many compliments on them! Book him!!! <3 You will not regret it. We cannot wait for the wedding now!"
