About this vendor
I am an adventurer, dreamer, artist, wanderlust, photographer and entrepreneur. My style is my own; I am confident that my work can express that sentiment much better than any written words. As a photographer I strive to take images that honestly capture the spirit of who you are; minus the cheese.

Geoff Duncan stands out among wedding photographers. He is super-easy-going and fun to work with, and he has a kid-in-a-candy-store enthusiasm for his craft. Stylistically, Geoff is an artist first, documentarian second, and portraitist third. As an artist, Geoff is most passionate about good…no, amazing…lighting and unique, effective framing of his subjects. It is in these areas where Geoff’s talent is most apparent. He is a total rock-star when it comes to finding interesting places for you to stand: the lighting will make you look (and feel!) like a celebrity, and the background will capture interest while drawing the eye towards your face. Geoff’s geometric backgrounds of choice lie somewhere between bold-Mondrian and tame-Vasarely. As a documentarian, Geoff captures moments big and small, all with artistic effect and creative framing. Example: he took a photo of our piano player, as seen from the far end of a grand piano, where you can see only the player’s face, triangularly framed by the body and open lid of the piano. Stunning. Our collection of engagement and wedding photos contains dozens more examples of photos that make everyone say, “Wow!” because of the lighting he found and the ways he framed us. Several of the photos still bring tears to our eyes because they are so beautiful. As a portraitist, Geoff has an uncanny ability to capture the personality of people he’s never met. We had a Mr. Know-it-all at our wedding (every wedding has one, it seems), and Geoff caught him with his mouth open, pointer-finger in air, as if to begin a lecture on the importance of….you get the idea. And my shy, contemplative 13-year-old daughter was captured looking off into the distance with her chin resting gently in her hand. This photo takes my breath away. It’s great to have pictures of people as they are—and for us, too, to have visual reminders of how amazing our wedding day was and how in love we truly are! I guess I’d never before seen how much my face glows when I look at my beloved.
One area of concern if you hire Geoff (and I highly recommend that you do) is that he did not give us small detailed suggestions during the photo shoots—such as, “Your jacket is crooked.” or “Lift your arm a touch (so it doesn’t look flabby).” Once the session gets going, Geoff goes into the zoot-zone of artistic adrenaline—which we LOVED, and still, a little more attention to detail would be nice. That said, I am certain that if you told him in advance what you’re picky about (make sure my scar doesn’t show, etc.), he would honor that. And this suggestion likely applies to any photographer that you hire! More than anything, Geoff wants you to be thrilled by your photos, and as long as you communicate what’s important to you, he will deliver! We are absolutely thrilled with our photos, and it was a complete joy to work with Geoff. He touched our hearts by taking exquisite, life-affirming pictures and also by being a charming, life-affirming person whom we are so glad we met.
I am very happy that we choose Geoff for our wedding in India. It was a 5 day long affair. And Geoff was there patiently navigating through thousands of people and capturing the best moments. It was a gamble for us as we were hiring someone who wasn't familiar with our tradition and not accustomed to the long weddings. In the end we are very happy that we chose to take the risk. The pictures are very unique and of the best quality. I strongly recommend Geoff to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He is not just a highly talented photographer but an awesome person too.
What can I say about Geoff!? Not enough, thats what. First of all, when I got engaged last July I had barely put the ring on my finger before I was sending an inquiry to Geoff. I had been following his photography from early on, and knew he was the guy for the job. Being a photographer myself (amateur), photography was really important to me. I decided to pick my 'top 3' when it came to the wedding and not budge AT ALL on those, everything else we could shave here and there, but not the 'top 3'! Photography was my number 1! And it should be yours too, if not at least in the top.
Our photos tell a story. A beautiful one. From beginning to end I can look through my photos from what has been the best day of my life thus far and re-live it over and over, and Geoff did that!
His work is exceptional, the color and depth he brings through the quality of his work is amazing. He just does some things I would never think of, and it always turns out great!
Aside from his amazing gift, he's really just a great guy. The wedding party was practically best friends with him at the end of the reception and he went out with us afterwards, such a blast to hang with- he also has some pretty sweet moves too, so thats a plus.
Dont look any further, Geoff is the guy to go with. You wont worry about this or that, you'll just have to remember to smile for those fancy cameras!
Team Geoff!! [fist pump]
I am convinced this amazing husband-wife photography team is the best in Texas! Geoff is a photographic genius. He never shoots in the same place twice and has produced some of the most creative shots I've ever seen. Not to mention, he and his lovely wife, Rachael, are some of the coolest, nicest people around. They not only shot my engagement photos, and wedding, but became friends in the process. Geoff and his second shooter were on top of all the wedding day details, without being in our faces. They made sure they got the shots we wanted, in addition to hundreds of creative shots I could have never even dreamed up! Geoff Duncan Photography has made our memories last a lifetime. I wish I could fill my whole house with their jaw-dropping photos!
We had such a great experience with Geoff Duncan Photography! When planning a wedding obviously all you do is plan plan plan plan plan. Hiring Geoff was such an awesome decision because I was able to trust him to plan the photography, from where to take the photos, to what to do in the photos, to what poses to make. And I am so glad I was this was not something i planned. Geoff really showed his skills because in the photos you can see quality, creativity, and our special moments captured on film. We were both very pleased.
Another really important thing to mention is what a great person he was to hang out with before the wedding. Getting ready and taking pictures before the wedding was made exponentially better by having such a cool person there. Geoff was great at talking to me and entertaining me so that the stresses of the day did not bring me down. If it weren't for my peaceful attitude (courtesy of Geoff), I do not think the pictures would have been as flattering.
Thanks Geoff Duncan Photography team!
We loved our wedding photos. Geoff & Rachel were so wonderful to work with. If your getting married in Texas you MUST use them!
I knew from the moment I saw Geoff's pictures on his website, that I wanted him as our photographer!! He was genuine, down to earth and super easy to work with and very professional. It was such an added benefit that I was friends with his wife, as well! Geoff is able to capture moments that show the character and personalities of the day. He has such abundant talent in photography and displayed a creative, unique and fresh touch to the capture our day. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who may be interested! You will be so thankful!! :)
It was seriously a pleasure to work with Rachael and Geoff Duncan for our wedding and engagement pictures. I was a little hesitant to hire a photographer at first, thinking that I would be able to just use any decent camera to get the job done. I quickly realized that these moments came fast and were over even faster. I wanted something that I could hold onto, to give into the opportunity to really capture and enjoy the precious moments. SO, we met up with Geoff and Rachael and immediately fell in love with them and their love for people. They wanted to find something that fit us and conveyed who we are as a couple. I felt that they captured the moment so perfectly in who we are together. I am really so excited to work with them again. They bring such a unique and fun style into the pictures, and it is truly an art. We feel it is our masterpiece. I highly recommend them if you are looking for something different yet comfortable.
With this being my first experience with a wedding photographer, I honestly did not know what to expect. Right away I felt at ease with Geoff Duncan and his wife who were both very personable and considerate of our needs. They took the time to get acquainted with us and our personalities as a couple, which made being in front of the camera so much easier. Geoff was extremely professional and easy to work with. He has a great dynamic of classy and fun as he brings out the excitement of the two of us. I will definitely look forward to working with Geoff Duncan Photography again.
When I thought about my wedding photos, I didn't want it to be simply a memory. I wanted it to be a work of art. With Geoff and his team, you get exactly that.
The team was very laid back which helps put anyone else stressing out at ease as well. Not only that but through meetings with them, it felt like more of a genuine friendship rather than a working relationship only. Having a comfort with the photographer made it so much easier to be in front of the lens for so long. This team does a wonderful job of keeping you in the moment and relaxed.
They were extremely professional which was not only recognized by me and my now husband, but by the families and the guests. It was such an honor to hear that we had a good handful of guests who enjoyed watching how serious the photographers took their job. We caught sight of them a few times but they were not in our faces which we appreciated so much.
Overall they are a wonderful group who will treat you well, like friends, and give you outstanding results.
When my Fiance and I first got engaged I got a facebook message from Geoff with a link to his website. My fiance and Geoff have been friends since they were little. So I decided to take a look at his work. I instantly fell in love and this was at the time when his business was still new. After I met with Geoff I knew our pictures were going to be great. On the day of our engagements, it poured rain the entire time but Geoff was great at finding spots at the Fort Worth Stock Yards. People dont believe it was raining when they look at our pictures. They turned out just the way I invisioned them and of course that is important for a bride. For my bridals poor Geoff had a cast on his hand so he called me to ask if her could bring along his now wife to help him out. Of course I said yes. When I finally got to see them I just looked at them in awe. I couldnt believe how good they turned out. Then there was the wedding day. OH MY GOSH..he captured the day perfectly. It was like he wasnt even there and he captured every minute. Our pictures looked like they belonged in a magazine. On of my friends even booked Geoff for her wedding. I highly recommend him. Trust me your money is well spent.
Geoff Duncan Photography is the total package! His passion for photography shines through from the minute you meet him. Geoff's true desire to please everyone he comes into contact with means he goes over and beyond in every aspect from start to finish. His professionalism and customer service is top notch. Geoff's genuine desire to please his customers goes beyond taking amazing pictures. He makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable which is impotant amid the potential chaos of a wedding. I will treasure my wedding photos from Geoff forever and ever. I would reccomend him to anyone and everyone who asks! I constantly get positive feedback and whoever sees his work. Going with Geoff Duncan Photography was the best decision I made during my wedding, besides finding my husband of course. :)
What a great time taking engagement photos!!! Who knew smiling so much and taking a ton of pictures would actually be fun? The shoot with Geoff for our engagement photos was creative, unique and comfortable…. EXACTLY what we were hoping for!!! Geoff makes you feel like you’ve been buddies for years and you’re just hanging out having a good time. If you are looking for the perfect photographer to capture the special moments in your life, you should definitely call Geoff!! Great photos, great fun, and so much laughing!! Truly an exceptional photographer!
Where do I even begin?!?! We are so lucky and Blessed to have Geoff Duncan as our photographer and new friend!!!!!
My fiance' and I usually don't like to have our pictures taken so we were a little nervous before we had our engagement session. There was absolutely NO reason to be nervous!!!! Geoff and his amazing assistant Rachael (who is also his lovely Fiance'!!!) made our session such a comfortable and lovely experience! We had such a blast! They both put us at ease and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends! We even forgot that it was raining that day!
The pictures came out absolutely beautfiul and we could not be happier with the results! To be honest, I cried out of pure happiness when we received our pictures! It was everything we wanted and more. All of our family and friends absolultely love the pictures and continue to tell us how impressed they are with Geoff's work.
Within the first 5 mintues of speaking with Geoff and Rachael you can tell that they are something special. You can’t help but love them! Not only can you see the love that they have for eachother but you can also see the love and passion he has for his art. You can see and feel that passion when you take a look at his photographs. He really knows how to capture a moment and the emotion within that moment.
We are so thankful for his incredible talent and will forever be grateful for these beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime!!!! Geoff and Rachael are incredible and we highly recommend Geoff Duncan photography to all! We are so excited for the wedding! Can’t wait!
Many Blessings, Coral and Jeff
