George Street Photo & Video

tract with your photographer and videographer yourself. Since George Street is a middle man, it makes communication and customer service extremely inefficient and difficult. I cannot in good faith recommend this vendor to any bride. - Our wedding was across 2 days and they assigned us different photographers and videographers for both. They did not communicate who they had assigned until 5 days before the wedding. Given our wedding was a traditional South Asian event, we wanted to ensure we had ample time to connect with our photographer leading up to the event and only getting their contact info 5 days before the wedding caused a mad rush. - We were consistently getting automated emails that our wedding plan was incomplete, despite having confirmed its completion multiple times with a coordinator, which caused a ton of confusion and stress leading up to the wedding day. - We weren't able to get anyone on the phone to address many of our concerns and they often took 48 hours to respond to emails (even 14 days leading up to the wedding), which created a lot of anxiety as they had not confirmed that photographers and videographers were available for the times requested. - While we loved our experience with Thomas (our photographer for the first day of events), the photographer Ruben was HORRIBLE. He had an unpleasant disposition throughout the entire wedding day (seemingly annoyed to be present and take requested photos of friends and family). Additionally out of the 8 hours we booked him, he was idle and not taking photos for about 2 - 3 of those hours. He did not capture any details of the reception hall, the food, the bride and groom meeting and greeting with the guests. His direction of posing through the formal portraits also made for extremely awkward photos and in fact used inappropriate household items (magazines that we had lying around that had nothing to do with the wedding and were actually covering a completely different culture and religion) to create getting ready detail photos with, making them completely unusable and unsharable. - We have reached out to George Street multiple times to get the above issues rectified and have not been met with timely responses or any solutions.

e the most meaningful moments. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful—we couldn’t be happier!

to get tons of amazing footage.

e. We did an engagement session with Nick before the wedding, and he had great ideas and really picked up on what type of photos we liked quickly. At the wedding, Nick was on-time, professional, and efficient. We got all the photos we requested and he had great suggestions for places and poses as well. We are so excited to see our photos and highly recommend this vendor!

s, the company called me several times and sent me 3 portfolios to review and choose from. That’s how we met Harry. My anxiety was through the roof with this last minute change, but I think landing Harry was a God sent. He was so incredibly kind, patient, and professional. He immediately called me after we booked him two days before the wedding and really put me at ease. He arrived to the venue early and was there for all the big moments I wanted captured. My husband and I cannot say enough great things about him and will be forever grateful!!! Even our guests highly commended him and his performance!

s so lovely and professional, and when an emergency occurred on the day of (everyone is okay!), George Street was even able to provide a back up photographer within an hour. And the pictures were lovely, very high quality. Highly recommend!

their wedding is captured in every way. They are definitely on top of everything and the photos turned out AMAZING! Plus throughout your planning process you can always email your wedding coordinator and I have always received a response within 24 hours. Lastly, you know you picked a good photographer/videographer when your guests can't stop talking about great they were! Our photographers were Ashton and Matthew and they captured every photo we had originally asked for in our planning timeline and of course captured some of the best candid's. Ashton was our lead photographer and he took the photos of the me and my bridesmaids and I seriously could not have asked for anyone better. I am extremely awkward when it comes to taking professional photos, but he made me feel comfortable and the photos turned out great! Alex was our videographer and he somehow was everywhere at the same time capturing all the small details from the venue itself to the guests, our first dance and everything in between. Book George Street for your wedding!

ographer went above and beyond and captured wonderfully special moments. Even after our wedding, George Street stayed in contact with us to help navigate the online photo album and answer any questions we had.

dding, and he was excellent and a pleasure to work with. The photos we received from both sessions were perfect. The price point is incomparable and we have no disappointments - this is a rare find in the wedding world!

verything she did. She even brought umbrellas for the wedding party due to a little inclement weather. Eddie gave clear instructions and was open to any and all requests from my family. My father unfortunately passed away a few weeks prior to our big day, but Eddie had the perfect ideas and vision to include his photo and memory. We thank Eddie and the rest of the George Street staff for making our wedding the best it could be.

h, punctual and professional. We had issues with several of our vendors, but George Street wasn’t one of them. The photos we received from both sessions are beautiful and it’s such a nice touch to be able to save each one to a hard drive without incurring extra costs. Our only regret is not hiring a videographer through George Street! The price point is incomparable and we have no disappointments - this is a rare find in the wedding world.

tures are professional and were aligned with our masterplan. The photographer was wonderful; she took the lead throughout the event in order to capture great moments. She was on time and extremely friendly and willing to take as many pictures as we told her. Now, if you are looking for top notch wedding photography including the edition of pictures, this vendor might not be for you. If you have a bigger budget and want shots that are more authentic and outstanding, I would recommend looking at other options.

we did that, we found that none of the photographers had particularly impressive pictures, but you aren't allowed to speak with them until the week of your wedding. I will say that I had a friend in a larger city (I live in Baltimore) use George Street with better results than my own, so maybe the photographer talent ranges more. Although my photographer was very kind, she was not good at directing the group and we missed out on a lot of good shots, even ones that I specifically showed her that I wanted during our pre-wedding meeting. My fiance and I don't know how to pose ourselves and had a large bridal party, so we could have used more direction. We paid for an associate photographer as well, and the interaction between him and the lead photographer was fairly awkward as they don't regularly work together. He ended up half an hour late to my husband's "getting ready" which set our day behind a bit and made us lose out on some group pictures. All that being said, the absolute worst part is the customer service after your wedding. They are very dedicated in selling you the service, but the post-wedding communication is extremely poor. I was initially told my pictures would be delivered within 3 weeks on the phone, with a preview a few days after. After a week, I asked and was told a preview isn't guaranteed, and delivery is in 6-8 weeks. I asked for a few good pictures to be sent to me so that I could make our thank you cards, and was told no. I ended up reaching out on my own to my photographer, who kindly took her own time to send me a few pictures she had. I received a preview album at 6 weeks. The pictures that were chosen were terrible (us blinking or not looking at the camera), and not edited to our liking (very over saturated). I asked if they could change the editing style pre-emptively, rather than delivering the entire gallery edited that way. I also asked if they could send us unedited photos rather than editing them incorrectly. Again I was told that it wasn't an option, and I could ask for edits after I received my entire gallery. When I received my entire gallery, the pictures were all edited this way. Even my friends and family were commenting on how weirdly colored the pictures were. I asked George Street to re-edit a huge number of photos (500+), which they agreed to do. 3 months (!!) after my wedding, I received 50 of the 500 photos. Customer service was actually confused when I asked where the remainder were, and said I had only sent 50. Of course I had e-mails showing I had listed way more. Finally someone called and apologized and said they had no idea what happened. Around 4.5 months after my wedding, I finally received nicely edited photos. I've been in 4 bridal parties just in the last year, and I can safely say my photography experience was the worst of everyone. Although George Street is significantly more affordable, the savings were not worth dealing with the poor communication combined with lack of "talent" with photography and editing. I think overall I received what I paid for, in terms of getting many pictures at a good price. But it caused me way more stress than I bargained for.

s fantastic! So so easy to work with and she made everything very comfortable. I was amazed when we got our pictures back. I absolutely loved everything about all of our photos. I have been married for over a year and still constantly look at our wedding photos. They were beautiful and really captured the moment and atmosphere. Highly recommend George Street!

fter reviewing the portfolios provided we decided on Kristen as our primary photographer. Danette was assigned as our 2nd photographers and Tyra as our videograoher. Kristen was amazing to work with during our engagement session and very patient as we were working with our 3 year old. She was very receptive to my vision for the day of our wedding and helped me through planning the timeline to make sure we had enough time for a first look, bridal party and family pictures.

han the entire 2 years of wedding planning :-/

il a day or two prior to your wedding. There is no way to ensure you will vibe with him or her and your visions align. Our 0videographer and associate photographer was not told to us until the day prior or day of. Our lead photographer was completely unprofessional!! She was pushy, short with the bride and bridal party, and tried to run the show. We asked her suggestions of photos and she didn't really know and said you tell me what you want. If we knew what would be beautiful we wouldn't have hired you. She had no direction and if it wasn't for the associate photographer being more chill and having knowledge of lighting our pictures would be even more eh than they are. The photos did not capture many people at our wedding. We have only 2 photos from our cocktail hour.. no video. This was shocking and extremely upsetting.. Our photographer did not carry the train of the bride, or fix it for pictures so the string underneath showed. She gave us a complete attitude from the first phone call, which again did not happen until a day or two prior to the wedding. The videographer had two cameras but did not capture the best moments and the wedding video we received does not have any transitions. It took 16 weeks for the video to be delivered to us! We were highly disappointed with the amount we paid and the service/products we received in return.

parison, my smartphone captures photographs in a higher resolution. Due to the limited resolution of our George Street set, large canvas prints appear less sharp than prints developed from images captured by our personal smartphones. 2021 review: Our experience with George Street was very straightforward, and their price structuring is competitive. George Street’s coordinators were generally responsive to our inquiries and assisted us to finalize a plan that included a private session to round out our 8 hours. Our photographer Olga G (DC Maryland area) was fantastic! We received the Editor’s Choice photos shortly after the ceremony, and the digital negatives were made available well within the stated timeframe. In addition to photographs of ceremony and family festivities, we received a number of still photos of small memories such as the decorations, place settings, and locations to help us remember our special day. We were thankful to have hired a professional.

g day. In this case, we got two! Thank you, Ryan and Danette, for your timely arrival, flexibility, and hard work! I can't wait to see the photos!

y exactly how I wanted it. Leading up to the day the entire process was quick and easy. I would recommend George Street to anyone looking for video/photos. All their photographers have all different styles and you can choose the style that best suits what you are looking for.

rs, and Malcolm was our videographer. When our photos came in, we were floored! They went above and beyond our expectations. The video was incredibly fun to watch, and the highlight video was expertly crafted. We truly enjoyed working with George Street!

d while also applying her expertise to our big day. Our pictures are gorgeous and we can't wait to display them in our home!

I would accept the credit & wash my hands of the situation. I still hadn't received my wedding video and it was clear George Street was not willing to refund us any of the cost - so $600 to have my enlargements made was better than nothing. I told them the $600 credit would be fine and was informed they needed to "write something up" before they could issue the credit. Turns out, they wanted me to sign a Settlement Agreement - stating the following: 1. I had made “defamatory and libelous statements about George Street published on the internet”; 2. In exchange for the $600 print credit & 3 16x20 canvas prints I would “release, acquit & forever discharge” George Street from all current & future claims; 3. I would not post ANYTHING negative regarding George Street (i.e. would not write negative reviews) on any platform; 4. I would ensure my family did not ever post anything negative regarding George Street on any platform. So basically, in exchange for this print credit – I was to sign a legally-binding contract acknowledging that we had made defamatory statements and that we would 1) remove our review, 2) cause our family to refrain from writing their own reviews and 3) release George Street from any and all wrongdoing - both present and future. I refused to sign. They basically told me that if I wanted the print credit - I had to sign. They refused to alter the Settlement Agreement and did not offer me any resolution that didn't involve me either signing the Agreement or removing my review. Sadly, it’s confirmed the company bullies people into removing their negative reviews or editing them in exchange for getting whatever it is they were promised. * UPDATE: after being put in touch with the owner, we were able to come to an agreement. George Street offered me 3 $250 print credits & refunded 1/2 of my costs and in exchange, I would revise my reviews. No settlement agreement was signed - this was handled via email & on the phone. I feel this is fair, as I was very happy with my wedding video and feel that 1/2 is a fair price for the photography services we receieved. Would I use them again or recommend them? No. But I can say, once the owner got involved - things moved quickly and were resolved in a fair manner.

one call, and you're on your way! You get a neat little online portfolio to schedule your photographer and videographer, and you get all of your photos uploaded online and they are hosted there for a year. The person who shows up to your wedding is not somebody from George Street - they're hired through G.S. So your photos will be edited by G.S, but I can promise you, they're going to be stunning all the same. If you have any questions or concerns, they're going to be very thorough and contact you well within 24hrs. It wasn't uncommon for them to just outright email me back an hour or so later. They were all super kind and openly thoughtful!

hem and see different photogropher's portfolios and found our perfect match. We also have the perfect opportunity to meet out photographer for engagment photos which will allow our photographer to get to know us and our styles. They did all the planning, even gave us suggestions for engagment photo locations. I am so excited and cant wait.

ring the family photo section in particular, in effort to take some pressure off of us on our big day. But overall, wonderful company to work with!

s we hadn’t seen Carlo’s work before and pretty much had my heart set on the first photographer, but Carlo sure did not disappoint. The photos he took of us came out absolutely stunning, at times even surreal. Communication was also excellent and the poses he had us do were fun and unique. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend George Street to anyone in need of a wedding photographer.

n the wall. He did exactly that. Even though we only had 1 videographer, he was able to capture so many angles and moments. It was seriously amazing. I would highly recommend George Street- and in fact I already have to other brides! We were so happy with the end result of our video too, we had no edits. Overall, we had such a good experience!

never told by our wedding planning contact about photo permits. We reviewed our day of plan about a month out with the planning team and told them where we planned to take our photos (local park). It wasn't until we had the final call with our photographer the week of our wedding that she mentioned we'd need a permit. It was too late to apply for one so we had to change around our plans for the day, causing issues for transportation, timing, and the look of our photos. The planning team needs to be more informed about permit requirements and tell couples early on.

before the wedding and made sure that we had all the photos we wanted planned out before the event (and of course, had lots of suggestions!). During the wedding, the photographer captured all of the moments that we wanted and more. Everything turned out really well, and we couldn't have worked with a better vendor!

never felt pressured to “add on” or upgrade. We also had local photographers and videographer even though George Street is nation wide! Highly recommend!

he right questions and thinking through what you wanted out of your wedding pictures to have a perfectly captured day. Working with Sergi was wonderful! HIGHLY recommend.

both a little nervous. Sarah made sure to walk us through the process and made the experience fun, so we were able to relax and really be ourselves. On our wedding day, Sarah fit right in and made everyone feel so comfortable. The photos she took were absolutely gorgeous and we will cherish them forever. Thank you, Sarah!

heir beautiful work...I'm already in love with our engagement photos by them!

it goes from there. We were given a few options and were immediately captivated by David's photojournalistic style. I felt extremely comfortable on our wedding day, and Iam typically pretty camera shy. David is a true professional. Would highly recommend.

tting our photos and photos of our guests without being overwhelming. She would just appear at the right times. Thank you!
