Raye and Christy did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding photos. They were great to work with. We only booked a short number of hours but they made sure to capture all the act...

ivities and important moments in that time - even the ones happening behind the scenes. You can not ask for a better wedding photographer 😊.

Raye is absolutely amazing. From the first time we met her at our engagement session throughout the whole planning process, everything went as smoothly as possible. She's responsiv...

e and even calms anxious brides' nerves. The pictures that she captures throughout the night are beyond gorgeous and something that my husband and I will cherish for years to come. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!!

We don't even actually have our pictures back yet since our wedding was just this past weekend, but Raye & the assistant Kristie, were both amazing. They were super easy to work wi...

th, everything felt relatively natural, and they were actually very supportive. It felt more like buddies helping us out with the pictures than a professional pair of photographers and I KNOW that lightened our moods and probably improved the quality of the pictures all around. They have both posted a few sneak peak images that we have loved as well.

Kristie Cooper was our photographer. We don't have the final prints yet but the blog pictures and some pre-posts she sent us are amazing! Very natural pictures that capture the exp...

erience of the day. She was friendly, easy to work with & really captured a lot of different people, scenes, & moments from the day. I'd highly recommend her.

Gillette Portrait Arts was amazing!! Raye was so laid back & a fun person to spend our wedding day with!! She posted our pics and got our CD's to us in a very timely manner. Som...

etimes they were hard to get a response from quickly, but it was usually because it was a weekend and they were probably working at another wedding. Highly recommended!! They all the way came out to Woodstock, MD for my wedding and they are based out of Snow Hill, MD. They seemed to have no problem traveling :)

I absolutely LOVED Kristie from gillette portrait arts. She was wonderful to work with from the day we booked her until after the wedding. From the beginning (our initial interview...

), she was very flexible with my crazy schedule. She was incredibly responsive - would get back to emails/calls within the day - and was open to tweaking their photography packages. She was very relaxed, and did not show any signs of stress on the wedding day. She came to the hotel before our wedding to get some getting ready photos, and helped transport my dress/shoes to the venue. She and her assistant for the day, Laura, were there for every moment of the wedding and didn't miss a shot - they got the girls getting ready, the boys getting ready, guests arriving, everything! I had some specific shots I wanted - me with my doggies (ring bearer and flower girl :)) and some extended family shots - and they were both so helpful getting those. Kristie especially was great at wrangling the out of control extended family to get the shots we wanted. She was unobstrusive during the ceremony, which was super important to us - we didn't want a photographer in the way, blocking the guests view, getting all up in our faces during the vows - I honestly did not even notice her during the ceremony! I would 100% recommend using gillette portrait arts - they are definitely a little pricey, but I think they are totally worth it.

I didn't answer cost because the cost depends on what you pick. Raye, Kristie and company were great to work with. Easy to have around. I have all my wedding proofs and we are ...

very happy. They are phenomenal. We had a sneak peak of our photos in 2 weeks then proofs within 3 weeks or less. The pictures capture the moment and will be something we cherish. Can't wait to make the album with her!

Booking with Gillette Portrait Arts was the best decision EVER. Raye was extremely nice and very easy to work with when it came to billing etc. Our photographer was Kristie, and we...

loved her. Our guests loved her. She was incredible! Working with Kristie felt like we had known each other forever, and our photos turned out better than we could even imagine. Kristie made everyone feel so at ease, and was unobtrusive; you didn't even notice that you were being photographed! Book these guys. Absolutely worth every penny, and I plan to return to them for maternity/family sessions when the time comes!
