Gagan Dhiman

Let me begin my saying that it breaks my heart to read the two negative reviews posted below. The authors clearly had unrealistic expectations of Gagan and failed to understand his unique and refreshing approach which he made clear to me and my fiancé from the beginning... Gagan came HIGHLY recommended to us by my friend and co-worker Cathy and her husband Chad whose wedding he shot in Savannah, Georgia. Cathy and Chad described Gagan as passionate, creative, and deeply dedicated to his subject matter and his clients. We found all of this to be true. From our initial review of his website and blog, we knew that Gagan's style was unlike that of any wedding photographer we had researched to date. As a combat photographer in the US Army, he adopted a documentary style of photography that lends itself incredibly well to weddings. Gagan remains calm and collected in a rapidly changing environment. He is an expert observer who is prepared to capture fleeting moments with little advanced notice. Starting with our initial FaceTime meeting, we found Gagan to be engaging, enthusiastic, and honest about what he does and does not offer. It's important to know that Gagan has a successful career outside of photography - he shoots weddings because he is passionate about this subject matter. Rather than relying on a traditional "shot-list," Gagan strives to capture emotion, dramatic light, and the beauty of the couple in nature. His emphasis is you. He also did an amazing job with our engagement and post-wedding photos. In the end, we couldn't have been happier with Gagan and his work. Gagan's wife Kayleigh (an accomplished photographer in her own right) also did a phenomenal job as second shooter and advisor to Gagan. We recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for an outside-the-box approach to wedding photography.

Gagan is the absolute worse photographer EVER. Gagan is an amateur photographer with an expensive camera. The only request my husband and I had of Gagan was to make sure he took traditional family shots and wedding party shots. WEDDING 101. Gagan did not take ANY family pictures and took ONE wedding party portrait which is blurred. I don't even have any pictures with my MOM! My husband has NO portraits with his parents. We were crushed. As couple you put so much trust in these vendors to capture this special day. Gagan completely dropped the ball, and when asked why he had no reason. He claimed this situation never happened to him before, but after reading the previous review, that was a lie. Gagan came to my wedding by himself. This was the first time I have ever witness a "professional" photographer not have an assistant with him. Needless to say the digital prints we got back were horrible. Gagan originally promised 350 edited images, we received 258. Out of the 258 only 58 images are worth keeping. 75 of the 200 were pictures of JUST my husband, he had a photoshoot of just him, like he was obsessed with him.. WEIRDO. The remaining images are blurred shots of that nobody would want. Gagan tries to use God as an aid to help get clients, but there is nothing Godly about this man. When we asked to see all of the pictures he took so we can choose which ones we wanted him to edit, he just ignored us. Why would he want to keep OUR pictures away from us?? He already ruined our pictures by not taking pictures with our families. You would think he would be remorseful and try to make it right any way possible. Our only saving grace was our videographer. He was literally everywhere and captured all the moments that were important to us. Do your self a favor and DO NO BOOK THIS ROOKIE. Your wedding day is important to you, book someone who understands that and will help you remember that special day.

Gagan photographed our wedding and it was incredible! He is a very talented photogropher. He met with us multiple times to make sure he had everything we were looking for. He was very professional and worked great with all my guests and the wedding party. His pictures were absolutely breathtaking and I was so impressed with his work! I have referred him to multiple friends as well. I would highly recommend using Gagan as your photographer. You will not be let down. He has an eye and will work with what the bride and groom want. He is also a down to earth, easy going guy and will do a fantastic job!

Gagan photographed my wife and I for both our engagement shoot and our wedding photo's. I have been following his shoots since he snapped our wedding because I've become a huge fan of his since then. I take offense with the 1 star review below and would like to set the record straight on who Gagan is and isn't. First off, Gagan proved to be extremely flexible, affordable, and patient with my wife and I. As a throw in to our wedding package, he shot an entire engagement session for free. He drove 2+ hours from Savanah to Jacksonville and gave us his entire Saturday without one complaint as we went to 4 locations and shot for over 6 hours! From that shoot alone he captured dozens of photos that will be passed down through my family for generations. Let's talk about his character... He served multiple years in the military putting his country before himself. He is a devout Christian and practices truth and honesty before all things... anyone who mocks his faith clearly doesn't quite grasp the benefit a faith based photographer adds to a wedding and needs to respectfully keep their opinions to themselves. He added his wife Kayleigh as a second shooter to our wedding for no cost and she alone shot hundreds of quality pictures of our event. He was more than fair, honest, kind, courteous, and trustworthy with the most important day of my life. As for the Wedding shoot, he provided pictures of all the crucial events: -Both bridal parties getting ready from girls hair and make up to guys hanging out in casual clothes pre wedding. -My mom praying over the girls as they're getting ready -All parties walking down the aisle -MULTIPLE SHOTS OF MY WIFE AND HER FATHER WALKING THE AISLE TOGETHER (I'm looking at you 1 star review) -First kiss, dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss, you name it. Gagan and Kayleigh captured every single important event at the wedding and captured a ton of candid shots we didn't request as well. They really captured the mood and tone along with all of the details around the food, decor, guests, etc. Gagan took charge of us and our guests and put up with an insane amount of bugs near the marsh where we had our bridal session shots taken. HE NEVER COMPLAINED ONCE. His family is so amazing that we became friends shortly after. He went out of his way to advise me on a camera for my honeymoon as well as how to properly use it at a novice level like myself. He spent hours making sure I'd get quality honeymoon shots. As for the photo quality he clearly spent days editing everything to perfection. My wife and I had zero complaints on his editing. Oh and by the way, he doesn't leave you waiting for months wondering where your photos are. He had everything back to us within a few short weeks. That's unheard of! All in all I'd absolutely use him again for any major life event. If you're thinking about using him for your wedding, the proof is in the pudding. Go look at all of his shoots and the quality of work he has put together. The consistency is all there through and through. Don't base your opinion of Gagan on one reviewer who sticks out like a sore thumb. It's really a shame when someone who clearly has bigger issues than a "bad experience with a photographer" resorts to slander and mockery of someone's faith which indefinitely negatively impacts his business and ability to provide for his family. IT'S COMPLETE NONSENSE AND I WON'T STAND FOR IT.
