Where to begin?!? From the first phone call, to meeting at the AGP studio with Rachel, to our engagement photo shoot on the Rutgers campus, to our wedding day, Rachel Pray (Studio Manager/Primary Photographer) was absolutely awesome! She was ...so down to earth and easy to work with and knew exactly the style and types of photos we were looking for! We scheduled our engagement session for late March 2016 and the day started out sunny, warm (for March), and looked like it was going to be a gorgeous day for photos. Then about an hour before, the temperature dipped dramatically and the skies became cloudy and dark. We were afraid that our photos were not going to look that great; however, we were (thankfully) wrong and pleasantly surprised at how great those photos came out. Everyone raved about how great they were! This got us even more excited to work with Rachel for our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding day, the weather seemed to be following a similar pattern: dark, cloudy, cold, and now rainy skies. We were bummed but also knew what Rachel was able to do the last time the weather wasn't great so it put us at ease. The day of the wedding, it started off with drizzling rain and cloudy skies but that didn't matter -- Rachel & Ashley both did an incredible job capturing some beautiful pre-ceremony photos. And then, when the time came for us to do our photos at our reception venue before or cocktail hour, the skies had cleared enough, the rain had stopped, and we had this GORGEOUS red/orange sunset to compliment the beautiful fall foliage! Rachel is able to capture amazing photos in inclement weather; give her a beautiful location and lighting and the images will blow you away!
From that very first phone call in November 2015 up until (and even after) our wedding day, Rachel was a ROCK STAR!! She was on top of everything, staying in touch and coordinating details with us all throughout the process. We never had to second guess our choice to hire Ashley Gerrity Photography or worry that our photos wouldn't come out great. Rachel was amazing and we knew we were in great hands! She did whatever it took to get the shot, whether that was walking down into a dense, wooded ravine to capture a shot of us on a bridge during our engagement photo session or sitting on the cold, wet, leaf-covered ground on our wedding day, she always gave 110%! All throughout our wedding night, family & friends raved about how great she and Ashley were. To top everything off at the end of the night, Rachel handed Kim and I a little black book and said it was a gift for our honeymoon. We had no clue what it was and then we opened it up and saw that she had already created a tiny photo album with some of the most beautiful shots from our day! When and how she did this is still a complete mystery to us but further shows the magic she and Ashley Gerrity Photography create! All of our family and friends were astounded by this as well and couldn't get over how beautiful the photos in this album were!
