d to enjoy our friends and family, and I hardly remember seeing them at our event! They were wonderful. From our fun engagement shoot in the fall all the way through the wedding, George was communicative, supportive, and passionate about his work. Book them now!!
George was fantastic! Not just at capturing some of the most beautiful winter wedding photos out in the snow, but also creative, fun and artsy photos throughout the day. He was als...
o the exact photographer I needed emotionally to keep the day going; there is so more to a photographer than just the pictures they take I learned thru this process. Their personality and dedication to YOU the customer is also a necessity, and George is the type of photographer who won't think twice about going above and beyond for you. George's skill and ability to capture nature and weather I learned after booking him is renowned around the Capital Region, and his pictures reflected that. Words cant describe how gorgeous his pictures are, we went to a horse farm and he captured some indescribable moments on film. George was easy to talk to, easy to contact and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. I'd like to note that I legit made George an honorary bridesmaid as he was just involved in the day as my bridesmaids were. He was voluntarily doing WAY more than a photographer should to help us along as we were getting ready. When I went into periods of stress and panic, he was right there finding bobby pins, he helped with putting on my jewelry, helped with the veil, and was keeping everyone calm and guiding the bridesmaids to what needed to be done next when I needed it the most, you could really tell he had been thru this many times (I hugged him easily 4-5 times in gratitude for stepping in beyond any photographer's regular duty). George and his assistant Miguel were also SO fun to have at the wedding! They got guests up and moving! They took selfies with them to make people smile, feel included and help them have a great time. He wasn't awkwardly taking pictures of the day from he edge of the room, he was in the moment with every guest so the pictures were natural and fun! Several guests actually told me how much fun they thought the photographers were. George is also creative. My husband and I love hockey, so, George surprised us and brought his own hockey sticks in for us to take some cool hockey themed wedding pictures, great idea!!!! George's pictures were outstanding, fun and creative, from our engagement session to even sticking around a little bit after our reception was over. We were so blessed to have George be a part of our day. I would chose him 100 more times if I could!
George Laing went above and beyond for all things related to our wedding. First off, George does not one but TWO engagement photo shoots, that way on your big day you are already c...
omfortable with him and know what he is looking for so your photos look flawless. Our first engagement shoot, George agreed to our grandiose idea of going to Lake Placid so my husband and I could take our photos on the 1980s ice rink. George not only showed up early the morning of the shoot (mind you he traveled from Albany!) but he was excited and brought great energy making Rob and I feel confident and excited. For what could easily be an uncomfortable process, he made fun and the photos reflect just that. Our second shoot was more romantic and elegant in nature and George did not disappoint. George has great ideas, impeccable vision, and is good at giving directions that are easy to understand while shooting. It is important to note that he turned our second engagement shoot photos around in ONE day so we could use the photos the day of the wedding. Communication with George was easy and he always returned emails or texts promptly.
The day of the wedding George and his assistant Miguel were nothing short of amazing. George came to the hotel earlier in the day so he could could get shots of my girls and I getting ready. George joins in the fun and goes with the flow of the day, if we're laughing or dancing, so is he, while he takes AMAZING photos. I call him the photo ninja, because he has a way of taking photos when you didn't even know he did which produces real life photos. George continued with his amazing vision and ability to set up an impeccable photos throughout the day of the wedding. Again, he took charge when necessary to make our family photos run smoothly and timely. He also went above and beyond assisting my wedding planner when my brother in law's wheelchair broke. George is a caring person and he loves what he does which reflects in his work.
George was simply wonderful to work with. He was more than professional always calm and collective, never pushy yet managed to maintain a timeline required in order to capture ever...
y photo the day of the wedding. Both he and his assistant collaborated wonderfully and together they brought a comedic energy that would capture the attention of everyone especially my 5 year old and 2 year old who he managed to entertain long enough to lock in some smiles! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire George Laing Photography to capture our wedding day. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a photographer, we can’t wait to work with him in the future as we plan to set up a time for family photos!!!
We absolutely loved working with George Laing. We discovered him through the Adirondack Albany Wedding Association. He is one of the best photographers to work with and worth every...
penny - every review is on point! We met up with him before our wedding day to practice in front of the camera and get comfortable (a free session by the way)... the timing of these photos were perfect because we used them for our holiday card and Save-the-Dates. George is very easy to get a hold of and responds quickly, via phone or email. He has a great personality and never once made me feel like I was posing for an elementary school photo - each photo felt natural and came out looking just that. His assistant Miguel was really great too! Both of them have great personalities that worked with my family and friends well. George took my photo requests prior to wedding day and was able to capture them all, even the candid ones that we came up with on wedding day. There were three things most important to us on our wedding day: the venue/location, the DJ, and the photographer. Other than that, we really didn't know much about the planning process except what I learned from Pinterest and wedding books that friends passed my way. In the end, it didn't matter because George Laing is so experienced and he walks wedding couples through everything! He was so approachable, I was never afraid to ask questions and get the ball rolling. If the photographer is an important piece for your big day, book with George Laing! You will not be disappointed!
My husband and I got married on 2/28/15 and George was our wedding photographer. Let me tell you that booking George was one of the best decisions of our wedding planning process. ...
George was more than a photographer, he helped with coordination, timelines and he has the ability to make you feel like you are his only clients. Not only that, but Ladies, he will make you look and feel stunning! If you are reading this to see if you should schedule a meet and greet and or book him … get in touch with him right now, DO IT!!! It will be the best decision of your wedding planning process and you will have the kind of photos that every bride wants.
Below is more about our interactions with George:
George offers 2 engagement photo sessions. We used one at a local park that had meaning to us and we had several areas to use as backdrops which gave us a variety of photos. George had such a good eye for “the shot” and did so effortlessly. We would be thinking what is he doing and then he would show us a glimpse on his camera screen and we would think WOW that is amazing. The second engagement photo session we took George to Gore Mountain. My husband and I are snowboard and ski instructors at Gore Mountain and we wanted to take photos there. Not only was George all for it, but he got on a set of skis (and he hasn’t skied in over 10 years) and followed us around the mountain and took breath taking shots of us that we cherish! During this photo shoot George was knee deep trudging through the fresh snow and on his hands and knees in the cold snow to get just the right angle, light and expression. George goes above and beyond what we even thought a photographer would do! We created a photo book of all of our favorite engagement session photos and displayed this at our wedding. George liked this so much that HE GOT A COPY MADE to show off to future potential clients! He may show you our book if you have a meeting with him!
On the wedding day, George was there from getting ready in the morning all the way until the lights turned on at the venue at the end of the evening. George and Miguel his assistant that day captured the essence of our wedding day. At times, George and Miguel blended right in and let us enjoy our day without being in your face. My husband and I would say where is George? And there he was taking our photo and we didn’t even know it. George and Miguel captured our “first look”, the mandatory formal shots, the candid shots, the fun dancing shots and most importantly the shots that look like they could be out of a bridal magazine. If you want proof look on George Laing’s facebook page our wedding was on 2/28/15 at Franklin Plaza.
Our only problem that we have encountered with George is that his work is so good, that it makes it hard for us to pick out our favorite photos to create a wedding album. That alone speaks volumes. I told a friend about him, she went on his facebook page, looked at our photos and she booked him for an anniversary gift to her husband!
What you will find about George is that his photography is so amazing because he is passionate about photography and this is not a “gig” to him. Compared to other wedding photographers out there (I know I did my fair share of research before we came across George) he has a very fair price point (almost too fair for his talent and skill), he is the best of the best, has the awards and reputation to show for it, but he also cares! I’m serious book him!!!!
George is a great guy and an amazing photographer. He is so easy going and laid back, and tunes into the personality and wishes of his clients. He also comes up with great creative...
shots that I never would have thought of. He is fair and flexible, someone you can really trust!!!
George was so attentive and committed to getting the best shots possible. I felt like he really got to know us and wanted us to have beautiful wedding photos. He was so enthusiasti...
c and didn't lose an ounce of energy all day. George's assistant was also extremely professional. I highly recommend having dual photographers to capture your special day from the preparation to the end of the reception. We couldn't be happier with the photos.
