Gary from [Love Long and Prosper Photography] has been easy-going, personable and informative. We had the pleasure of Gary doing our engagement shoot. Gary first meet with us to explain his process and was always available for questions. My fiancée and I are far from professional models, but Gary's cheerful demeanor made the experience memorable and playful. Gary walked us through common poses and tricks, all while allowing us to naturally interact. The result were stellar! Gary will be taking photos for our wedding and has been overwheming flexible and accommodating to changes during the pandemic, as well. Highly recommended!

We love love loved Gary as our photographer for our wedding!! I’m so impressed by so many of the shots he captured of our day...he is so easy to work with, very laid back and so professional at the same time. He did such an amazing job of capturing the entire vibe of our wedding day from start to finish...we got soooo many compliments on our photos I’m just over the moon happy with everything!!

Gary was spectacular to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Our engagement and wedding pictures came out beautifully. He was so patient with us and very flexible. Not to mention, we had so much fun during the engagement shoot. Gary’s creative and sentimental activities made the shoot such a memorable experience (I’m being completely serious—we had a blast!) I am thankful that we chose him to capture the moments on one of the most important days of our lives.

Have used Gary's services on multiple occasions now and will be looking to him for any of our future photography needs. I can't begin to describe how good our wedding pictures came out, I've received multiple compliments on the quality of the pictures and have even been told by a friend that they wish they had Gary taken theirs. Quality service and easy to work with.

Gary was my photographer for our wedding last Saturday August 24th. Gary and Amy did an amazing job capturing every special moment. We have only received our highlights and preview reel but are so happy with how the few we saw came out so far. Gary was a pleasure to work with beginning to end. Highly recommend [Love Long and Prosper Photography]!

Gary is a very talented photographer. He makes photoshoots fun and the end products are amazing. He can make any setting into a beautiful backdrop for your photos and he’s adaptable to your photography needs. I definitely would recommend hiring him as your photographer for any special occasion."
