We got attracted to Gage's ability to take photos when people are in motion which makes each photo more natural and less staged. And this is exactly what we got! Gage provided us with the best experience - we had a small family elopement ceremony and he went above and beyond to capture everything we had in mind. He casually asked us to dance, take a silly walk around the lake, have a chat - and all of those photos turned out beautifully! He seems to have a way to make people around him relaxed and ready for a photoshoot.
It only took him a week and a half to get the photos back to us and they were stunning! I noticed that most photos that he produces can be printed and hung on a wall by themselves. I know it's hard to do that since each photo needs to be of high quality and taken from a good angle with people being natural in the picture.
All in all, Gage is your guy, you won't regret hiring him. We will hire him again for our bigger wedding!

As cheesy as it sounds…it really was love at first site. As soon as I discovered Gage and his beautiful work, it really was all or nothing else.
We were on the hunt for a photographer/videographer for our big day and I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking for, but I knew I was looking for something unique. I must have went through endless google searches and wedding websites waiting for something to grab me. However, not much stood out. Especially being a same sex couple, I knew it was going to be an uphill battle discovering someone who not only offered it all, but someone who would also connect with us as a couple. It was all that and more with Gage.
Looking back now, 5 months after our wedding and I couldn’t be more thankful. Long story short, Gage made it all happen. He truly made our little love story come to life. He captured the very beginning from our engagement shoot and all the way up to the wedding day. The moments captured in our photos are unlike anything else. You look at these beautiful little memories caught in time and you’re instantly filled with love that take you back to that exact moment. Our wedding video hands down was in absolute production. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see things from someone else’s eyes? Gage did that. He took our journey as if having all these random misshaped jigsaw pieces and he meticulously put this wondrous masterpiece together as if reflecting our whole lives. Words will never come close to describe how undeniably happy we are and it’s all thanks to Gage. The magic he possesses is absolutely astounding.
I could honestly go on and on but if you made it this far in my rant and took nothing from it, just listen to this. Save yourself all the “what if’s” and go with Gage.
Thank you for being apart of our journey Gage! You are forever apart of us-
10+ Stars

Title: Exceptional Wedding Film and Photo Services by Gage
Review:
We recently had the pleasure of working with Gage as our film and photo vendor for our wedding, and we cannot sing his praises enough. From start to finish, Gage's professionalism and attention to detail were simply impeccable.
Throughout the entire process, Gage made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. He took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every shot reflected our personalities and the atmosphere of our special day. His warm demeanor and welcoming attitude put us at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without feeling self-conscious in front of the camera.
When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Gage captured every moment we wanted and then some, with each image telling a beautiful story of love, joy, and celebration. His keen eye for detail ensured that no fleeting expression or candid moment was missed, resulting in a stunning collection of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
And then there was the video – a true masterpiece. Gage's editing skills and creative vision transformed our wedding footage into something truly magical. The way he pieced together the highlights of our day, set to music that perfectly captured the mood, made it feel like we were reliving the entire experience all over again. The production quality was top-notch, surpassing anything we could have imagined. It truly felt like a professional production had taken place, yet it was all thanks to Gage's talent and dedication.
In short, if you're searching for a film and photo vendor who will exceed your expectations in every way possible, look no further than Gage. His passion for his craft, coupled with his unmatched skills behind the camera and in the editing room, make him a standout choice for any couple looking to capture the magic of their wedding day. Thank you, Gage, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn't be happier with the results.

Gage shot my wedding in September 2023 and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. We got to know him during our engagement shoot in April and not only were the photos exactly what we wanted, he put me and my fiancé completely at ease in front of the camera. As we approached the wedding day, Gage reached out at perfect intervals to ensure we were ready to go with schedule and shot list. He executed my vision to a TEE and I could not be happier with how the photos turned out. Additionally, we just got our video from him and it is a DREAM. The best thing I’ve heard (from so many people!!) is how much the photos and the video “feel like [US]”. Sometimes wedding photos can look stiff or awkward, simply because it’s an intense day and not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera. But Gage was able to capture all of the joy, love and happiness of the day, and it just radiates through the film.

Perfection- Read this review if you want to know why this guy is perfect for your event
We found Gage in the middle of 2020. Crazy times and even crazier we were trying to plan a wedding. Our initial contact (Video Chat) with Gage was like meeting a new friend at a party. Relaxed, comfortable and we knew instantly that this guy was perfect. Not to mention his insane photography and videography skills, of course. But you already knew that.
It’s important to trust your vendors with your big day and we trusted him immediately.
Skip to the engagement shoot (do it, it’s worth it!), we wanted some unique photos, mainly water photos. Gage literally jumped right in with us. What came out of that was some of the dreamiest photos I’ve ever seen. He captured our love and everything in it.
Now skip to the wedding- he checked in with ME. If you’re doing a DIY wedding, you’re normally busy managing other vendors and putting out small fires as you go. Throw in a pandemic wedding when CA just opens up, a vendor and someone as important as your photographer, reaching out makes a big impact. When talking to him, it felt calming and reassuring that everything was going to work out and I didn’t have to “manage” him. He had it, he knew what he was doing, where he was going, the times. Everything.
I’m mainly writing about him as a person (his assistant photographer was just as rad), and it’s because if you have researched him at all, you know how insane his photos are. They’re unique and full of life and movement. That’s what we were drawn to. You know his epic video skills (our video was insane and perfect too). I still gush over him when I see our photos on the wall or rewatch our video.
Call him, email him, contact him in some way and it will be the best thing you ever do for your wedding. Your wedding day flies by (I know you hear that but omg, you have no idea) and all your memories are shoved together in this fun, slightly anxiety filled, possibly drunk, tired, chunk….Until you get the photos & video and it’s like reliving your wedding all over again.

Highly Recommend!!!
Our experience with Gage was absolutely incredible. We knew we were drawn to his work right away from looking at his website, but we were so impressed by his balance of professionalism and equally being very personable and fun to be around! He's such a likeable guy, guests were commenting on how great he was! We really enjoyed his company throughout the whole day. He very much knows how to go with the flow but also get down to business to achieve what he needs to capture from the day. I love that we have an array of candid photos, but also more formal pictures that don't look stoic, everything is natural, everyone looks amazing, the photos are even better than we imagined, and he's a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. There was never a fear we were on two different pages, he's so easy communicate with and it was easy to trust our visions were aligned from long-distance conversation. We did elect one of the highest-priced packages because photography was a huge importance to us, but we believe his pricing is very reasonable with all of the different package options, and we realized we were willing to spend more in this category than what people spend on average. We highly recommend Gage for weddings, or any/all events! His work is STUNNING!

10 out of 10! Gage has such an amazing talent for capturing a couple. Our engagement and wedding photos are stunning, breathtaking, and dreamy. He is so easy going and relaxed, but with the utmost regard to professionalism. He made sure to check in with us leading up to our engagement session and wedding day which any couple planning a wedding can appreciate. Gage also filmed our wedding day and let me just say.......AMAZING. This man has such raw talent for bringing all the memories that you may have forgotten, into the best keepsake you will have from your special day. We cried, we laughed....we played the video over and over because it truly is the best memory. If you are in doubt about your choices, look no further, hire Gage ASAP.

Gage is absolutely amazing! All that my husband and I wanted on our wedding day was someone to capture the day through our eyes and our guests eyes with candid photos that truly expressed everyone and Gage did just that! He is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with and is so relaxed and on a wedding day that is one of the best feelings! When your photographer is relaxed, you feel relaxed and comfortable when taking hundreds of pictures! Would recommend Gage to all of my friends and family and will definitely be working with him again!

WORD’S WOULD NOT DO THIS PHOTOGRAPHER AND HIS WORK JUSTICE AND NEITHER DOES HIS PAGE. I wish I could share our entire wedding album as the review. He’s so good at what he does, we didnt realize how many photos he actually took until we got our sneak peek. We got our sneak peak back after a week and there were so many I can’t even imagine how many there are in total. We are completely blown away. There are so many photos and moments that were captured. It’s hard to even choose a top 50. A good photographer was the most important thing to us and we are both SO glad we picked this one. We get to cherish these photos forever even though our special day is over.

We hired Gage for our late October 2021 wedding and he was truly amazing. His package included either an engagement session or rehearsal session, and since we weren’t local, we had him for our rehearsal and wedding day. The photos for both turned out so beautiful! Considering we only had him, and not a second shooter, he really did such a great job at capturing as many of our special moments as possible. Not only was his work great, but Gage is kind, professional, and so easy to be around. You can tell he cares about the couples he works with, and that care absolutely shows through his work. Gage was an integral part of the best day of our lives- we would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Gage is absolutely amazing! We never expected to see our wedding video with so much raw emotion and energy, candid and unplanned moments. Gage is exceptional at capturing those intimate and silly moments and the best part of it is, you would never even know he’s filming! He is not just there to take footage. He has a unique vision and an artistic eye, and genuinely wants to capture those natural emotions you are feeling.
You’re so used to seeing those traditional (cheesy like) standard wedding videos that just capture those obvious moments of a wedding day. We were blown away at how he brought all of our Jewish traditions to life in the video. You would have never known it was his first Jewish wedding either!
One of the many things we loved about working with Gage is his honest opinion when it came to music choices and challenging us to think outside of the box to make our wedding video timeless and bring that emotion to life. And are we so glad we listened!
His detailed and personal approach is unparalleled and he was so easy to work with. Working with Gage is a must - you will be able to relive your magical wedding day over and over again, just like it was yesterday. We can’t thank Gage enough and believe us when we say, he will exceed your expectations.
