I actually cannot describe how amazing Libby is and how grateful I am that I chose her to document our wedding!!! Truly the best experience ever, she is such a fun, bubbly, person to be around, she made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed, while also taking so many stunning photos!!!! Our photos are perfect in every way, we got married over six months ago and I still obsess over the photos all the time because of how beautiful they are!! She did such a great job with all our couple's photos, as well as with our guests like our bridal party, family members, and documenting the ceremony. Our engagement photos were also included in the package which were equally amazing and fun!! I love Libby so much, she feels like a friend after getting to spend our wedding day with her! She also sent us the cutest little gifts in the mail while we were working with her, and we got our photos back soo quickly after the wedding which I also really appreciated!!!! Again, I can't fully put into words how good this experience was, but hopefully these photos prove it!

It is near impossible to write a review that captures the full picture of Libby's skills and beautiful soul. She is a one of a kind human, with an incredible attentiveness to detail and drive, to make her work reflect the emotions and energy of the moment. Her communication is phenomenal, her attitude is like no other, and her will to get the shot is unbeatable. One of my favorite things about Libby is her ability to make everyone comfortable with her charm and funny little quirks. I will be forever grateful to have been graced by her presence and talent in capturing our wedding day. I have no critiques, no negative feedback, she is a one of a kind human who also is incredible at using a camera :) Thank you Libby for everything <3

I don't know where to begin because I have so many great things to say about Libby G. Photography. My now husband and I used Libby for our engagement and wedding photos and let me tell you - she knocked it out of the park. I am very uncomfortable in front of a camera and Libby made the experience so much fun. When we received our photos back (which was very very timely) I could not believe how incredible they were. She has so much talent, was so fun and kind to work with, and if we had to do it all over again there is no doubt I would choose her as our wedding photographer.

Libby is incredible :) truly. From the start, after booking her, she made us feel so excited for our day by sending us the cutest gift in the mail. Our engagement session was so fun and she made us feel at ease even though being behind the camera isn't always the easiest thing. She was flexible in rescheduling our engagement session as well when I had something come up at work. The months leading up to the wedding she checked in with us multiple times and created a timeline which was so appreciated. The day of the wedding she arrived early and started doing her thing. She brought me one of her business sweatshirts which was so sweet. We are IN LOVE with the previews she sent us (which was SO fast) and can't wait to see the rest. Our wedding party and multiple guests commented on how good she was and the feedback we got on our previews from everyone was so positive. Libby is such a professional and knows what she is doing, on top of being an amazing human. I 10000% recommend her to anyone and plan to use her again in the future for family portraits. Thank you Libby, your work means everything to us <3

Libby is INCREDIBLE!!! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Libby was so fun to work with for both engagement and wedding photos, so helpful during the planning process, and so professional. Our friends and family all commented on how spectacular she was and how well she handled wrangling everyone from the little kids to the grandparents to get the perfect shot :) our photos turned out amazing, and captured our day perfectly. We truly could not be happier with our experience with Libby, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!!

Libby was our favorite "vendor" of the whole wedding! She kept us organized and on time while making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Everything turned out fantastic and we are so glad that we went with her. She truly made our special day that much more meaningful and we will treasure her pictures forever! Thanks Libby!

This woman right here!? The absolute best!! My husband and I are not necessarily people that love to have our photos taken, but when I tell you, Libby made us feel so comfortable and actually made me excited to get these pictures. I'm sure some of it was because it was my wedding way, however Libby went above and beyond. It's very clear that we loved her, but our guests, wedding party, etc also kept mentioning to me how awesome she was.
Now that I'm done gushing over her as a person, the PHOTOS!!! Absolutely stunning. She listened to the style of pictures I wanted, the types of photos that were important shots for us and then some. If we ever have another big event in our life or just want our pictures taken for a special memory, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.

Libby was AMAZING! I would hire her a hundred times over again. She is phenomenal at what she does. She was able to make my husband very comfortable in front of a camera where typically he's camera shy. She was super communicative, very friendly, and gave great direction to help get the perfect shot. I can't say enough good things about her!

Our experience with Libby was absolutely exceptional! She truly went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful moments of our special day.
From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was something we were initially nervous about. Her professionalism was evident throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand our vision and took all of our wants and needs into consideration when capturing those perfect shots.
What truly amazed us was how fast we received our photos! It felt like we blinked, and our stunning wedding photos were ready. Her efficiency in delivering the final product was remarkable.
Working with her was an absolute pleasure. She was not only talented but also very easy to work with. Her warm and friendly personality made the entire experience enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who goes the extra mile to make your day truly unforgettable. Thank you for everything!

Libby was by far the best decision of our wedding day. She is the sweetest person ever, which was evident when I met her on our first call before booking her, and I knew she was the photographer for us. Our engagement session was wonderful, however, there is no comparison to what Libby did for us on our wedding day. She was the perfect hype woman for not only myself and my husband, but for the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and a sassy little flower girl. Libby went above and beyond her duties as a photographer, helping with coordination and making sure everything happened exactly when it was supposed to happen. My husband and I woke up the next morning to our STUNNING previews. Libby is an extremely talented photographer and we are patiently waiting to see the rest of the gallery, which we know will be phenomenal. We cannot wait to hire Libby again to capture all of our family photos in the future. Hire Libby for your wedding, you will not regret it!

Libby is incredible. She did our engagement photos and our wedding day, along with a second shooter who was also awesome. Libby is professional, punctual, so friendly and outgoing, and excellent at her work. What drew us to book Libby in the first place was her personality and she did not disappoint. She was so great during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable and like we were working with a friend, and our pictures turned out perfect. Trust me, you need Libby for all your wedding photo needs :)

I've been in weddings before, and Libby was hands down the most accommodating, caring, and talented photographer I have ever encountered. She made us both so comfortable at our engagement sessions and made sure everything was in order during the days leading up to our wedding. Her passion for photography shined all over the place as she took pictures on our wedding day. Not only did the pictures turn out better than we ever would have expected, but she acted like a friend for me the day of my wedding. She held our marriage license during family pictures, asked what I needed, and ran to grab my friend to do my bustle. She knew I was worried about timing with not doing a first look, and consistently checked the time reassuring me how much time we had. It meant the world that she remembered my small comment about timing and made sure I remained happy on my wedding day. She is the best, and I promise you won't regret booking her for your special day!!

Libby is absolutely amazing! We had her do our engagement session and our wedding. She instantly made both me and my husband feel comfortable, and she made the sessions so fluid and natural.
She went above and beyond for our wedding, and we’re in love with every single picture she took.
She was great with communicating and helping us get through the whole wedding planning process. We’d HIGHLY recommend her!

Libby is seriously the best! She was super kind and bubbly for all 13 hours of the wedding day and was constantly supportive and hyping me up (all while being 7 months pregnant and it being 95 degrees outside). Leading up to the wedding, Libby was in contact with me often and we met up multiple times to plan out the day as well as scope out possible locations for pictures. Libby also had my full gallery back to me within 3 weeks, which was so amazing and unheard of. Definitely worth the 5 star rating, she is a lovely human and someone who will make your big day 10x better!
