Life Gallery Photo & Video

hey were doing. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we couldn't be happier!

ake the process natural and capture our special day. We 100% recommend Life Gallery Studio's.

uggestions along the way to capture everything we could have imagined and so much more.

os, and they were posted online quickly, within 2-3 weeks. Everyone in attendance at our medium-sized wedding is in multiple photos, so we have plenty to share with our family and friends.

photos which was a nice touch. They were willing to also edit photos after they were posted so they could be exactly what we wanted. Great company.

ding. What can I say… PHENOMENAL!! Iryna was fun, social, and captured EVERYTHING and more!! We were very please with the outcome and the ease of booking, assigning a photographer, and receiving our photos… ALL of them! Life Gallery Studios will definitely be my go to for our next “life event”.

e this. It's tough to sit down and bring up negative feelings towards your wedding day, and then to channel those into words. But I also couldn't let it go. Throughout this past year, we never printed a single photo. We never publicly shared our wedding photos. Only a few people saw our photos, and even they were disappointed. Our photographer Mike and owner Scott completely failed us. We got married on Halloween 2020. Prior to the wedding, we are asked to create a list of the things that were our must-have photos (which we also reviewed with Mike day of). One of our biggest photo "wants" was lots of pictures of our senior golden retriever Bubba. We didn't know how much time we have left with him so we wanted pictures of him with everyone. We spent a lot of time and money decorating our wedding venue, so naturally our decorations were on there. I even asked Mike how his camera was at night time (since our reception was after dark) and he assured me it was great. I also spent a lot of time carving approximately 30 foams pumpkins for a haunted house I put together, which was also on my list. My husband even built me a large custom cooler shaped like a coffin! We bought glow sticks to light it up at night. We were disappointed in the lack of Bubba pictures. He was only photographed in a few different settings despite being there all night. There is not a SINGLE photo of our decorations at night, nor are there any of the pumpkins lit up, or any of the coffin cooler once it was put together for the reception. Looking at the photos, Mike went around the venue before the ceremony and took pictures of our decorations prior to being setup/lit up. Guess he figured he could check them off the list then? I have one photo of my custom coffin cooler, and it's still closed with a box of glow sticks sitting next to it. We had discussed Mike staying an hour past his time at the start of the day. He said we could see how everything was going. He came to find me promptly at the original leaving time to say he got everything and goodbye. Had I known how much he missed, I would've had him stay that extra hour. Mike never utilized any of the decorations in the photos. He had us taking some of our family photos in front of the bridal suite instead of using the graveyard right next to us. I had to tell him to move because it wasn't a good spot. Scott's excuse was that Mike did it for the lighting. It's a Halloween wedding! Who cares about how lit up the bridal suite is, I wanted dark and spooky. When I brought up these issues with Scott, he said he wasn't going to BS us, but that's all he did. He tried to tell me that you can't photograph jack-o-lanterns! I've been carving pumpkins for 20+ years and always take photos of them. He never did anything to try and make it better for us, so be warned if you have an issue with them. He said he "found" more photos, but they were actually the photos they considered rejects and discarded. Now we have to take the time to dress up, decorate, and shoot our pictures all over again with a different company. We would never recommend Life Gallery!!!

s photos taken. We matched with Sarah, who gave us a call before the wedding day to make sure all was in order and we got all the shots listed that we wanted. Sarah was professional and fun, making the wedding photos feel formal, but comfortable at the same time, which we loved. We got many compliments about her positivity and we really appreciate her help in capturing our wedding day memories. Highly recommend Life Gallery Studios for any event!

ssional and responsive; I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

ever. We highly recommend!

y're amazing!

ore photos than we thought because Jonathan was incredibly efficient with taking photos and was able to get every family portrait that we wanted. I cannot say thank you enough to this whole team!!

me feel at ease and beautiful, something that might not be in her job description, but definitely was appreciated! Scott was also a pleasure to work with, very responsive and always willing to ease concerns.

Highly recommend!

ons. Communication throughout the process was excellent and our expectations were met and exceeded! Now about Rob – we chose Rob Grant to be our wedding photographer. He also took our engagement photos. On a sidenote, I highly recommend doing engagement photos with your wedding photographer – it’s great to meet him/her ahead of time, it also gives him a chance to see your dynamic as a couple and also get familiar with how comfortable you are with the camera. For us, it was great to see Rob’s style and we immediately knew we were in great hands after our engagement photoshoot.   Rob’s photos turned out amazing and he captured our wedding perfectly! I don’t know how he managed to be everywhere at any moment (it was such a hot day), but he was present and ready to go at the right time consistently. I was amazed at his ability to read the situation and act quickly. Every time I turned, there he was – it was magical. 😊 Rob was also incredibly flexible and easy to work with. I was impressed with his professionalism and confidence in his work – he knows what he’s doing and that really comes through as he works. My husband and I became fans of his work the moment we reviewed Rob’s portfolio and we couldn’t wait to see our wedding pictures – they came really quickly and we couldn’t stop smiling as we were going through them. Rob told the story of our wedding beautifully! The photos were vibrant and full of life! He helped make this day one of the happiest and most memorable, and we couldn’t be more grateful.  

to work with and took a lot of initiative with planning with us. It was great to work with them!

ired with Sarah who is one of my new favorite humans in the world! She was able to get us to relax during our engagement photos to capture some truly beautiful moments. Which made us much more relaxed during the wedding. We wanted more candid shots so we requested two photographers and Michelle was added to our wedding team as the second photographer. Another great choice and fabulous addition to our special day. They both have a creative, natural, eye that worked around the crazy fog (almost rain) we encountered on the day of our wedding. They also encouraged our wish for outdoor photos despite the chilly air. I know our pictures are going to be beautiful because of them!! We are excited to share them with our family & friends!! Thank you again for everything!!!!

ortantly TALENTED! We will never be able to thank them enough!!

r wedding day he aimed to please, and he made sure he used every single minute of his time to capture our day.

s for the day, we did not get any photos of our guests at cocktail hour. After the wedding day I was told by several people in my wedding party/family that one of the photographers chose to partake in the hors d’oeuvres instead of photographing our guests doing so (I was too preoccupied to notice, myself). There were a few minor things I would change in some of the photos I received (spreading out my train, mentioning to my mother about an errant bra strap, etc) but the overall experience was a good one! I honestly enjoyed working with everyone and the overwhelming majority of my photos are lovely.

venue! He had a keen eye to line us up at our venue in a beautiful balcony for pre-ceremony shots. He also had time to get photos of each guest table during our reception - a treasured shot which we will enjoy looking at for years to come! He also got great candids of our dance, father/daughter and mother/son as well as the free dancing after dinner. Thank you Life Gallery Studio!

ictures with hurricane Florence. Thanks Scott for your patience, and professionalism we had a couple changes and you work with us.

pes of things we enjoyed doing and the look we were looking for and she had suggestions that matched our style! Also the day of she took charge and did a wonderful job keeping everyone calm. And she managed to capture three massive family photos (25+ people in each photo) in under 15 minutes! We loved working with life Gallery studios.

at is 100% due to our photographer Jonathon who made sure to listen to my ideas and my personal hesitation with having my picture taken and it turn it into an AWESOME experience. He went above and beyond on the wedding day as well- one it was hot and humid and he was a trooper!! Second he knew all the tricks of the trade from a groomsmen tie disaster to bustling of my dress!! Come on what guy knows how to do that???!!! Finally I also appreciate how quickly the pictures were made available to us- very quick turnaround and the finished product was amazing. Thank you again, we are very happy we chose Life Gallery Studio.

, was punctual, efficient and professional. It rained on our wedding day but he took beautiful pictures - he knew how to handle the rain. Prices were completely reasonable and you get a lot for what you pay for. I would hire them again if I had to! Trust me - you want Life gallery for your big day! Liz and Robert Pavel

the magic of our wedding day! He was always in the right place at the right time. We could not be happier with our wedding photos. Life Gallery is a great value.

or the needs. We would highly recommend life gallery for anyone wanting quality photos and a professional photographer.

n around of our images to view and order online was ahead of the time they gave us so we were impressed. We would highly recommend life gallery to anyone wanting quality photos. Stress free experience with amazing photos!

oured down. Great service, and phenomenal, unforgettable moments captured. Definitely recommend :)

nue, which prompted us to move our date by a day. Scott was always available by phone or email to answer all of our questions, which gave us so much peace of mind. We had a doubt about only having one photographer on the day of. Scott let us know that one photographer would be plenty. And he was right...it is good to know that this business looks out for their clients. We had not met our photographer until the day of our wedding, but our picture profile was matched with her photography style. We set up a call to discuss all the details of our wedding a week before and Dana was able to capture all of the moments we asked for (AND MORE). We are absolutely ecstatic about how our wedding pictures came out and cannot get enough of viewing them. Scott and Dana thank you so much for capturing the best moments of our special day.

pick our favorite. He also worked well with a three old who kept asking for Jonathan to take his picture and Jonathan didn’t mind. We only had one thing we would have clarified or asked which was when he took pictures of everyone at each table that we came along so we could be in the picture and to easily get to see everyone. Other than that we would recommend this company

d photos taken with the same background at least in our case, and the service of a photographer. Nothing else is included. I was very disappointed with the lack of changing of background areas. We were at historic site and it would have been nice to have some of the buildings in the photos but instead we were given photos in front of a green space. There was a Pond that could have been used as a really nice backdrop as there was a bridge there but that was not even entertained. Slightly disappointed. Just be sure to ask the right questions so you get what you’re looking for.

ailable for free to download, which our guests appreciated. Scott was easy to communicate with by email and was flexible when we decided to start earlier at the last minute, to make sure we had enough time for family portraits.

nue multiple times so she knew all the great places for pictures which made it even better. She was also very chill and made us feel comfortable. She was also flexible with time and photo taking, which was just great and made getting those candid photos awesome. Everyone was easy to work with and I would highly recommend Life Gallery Photo and Video!

in any way and he was patient when going through my "must have" list of family photos. He was so much fun to work with! And because of that it made taking the staged photos so much more fun! <3 Randy was our videographer for the day and he was a total sweetheart! He managed to stay almost invisible, which to me seems like what a good videographer should be...you don't want that camera all up in your face all night long, you want it to look genuine and real, and with his technique I'm fully confident it will be! Both were great! Being in contact with Scott throughout the whole process with effortless and he was very patient with all my questions and concerns that I had, and oh so very helpful with everything!! It took slightly over a week for us to get our photos back from Jonathan and we absolutely LOVE them! Can't wait for the video from Randy!! Definitely recommend them as a team for anyone looking for a photographer/videographer package for their wedding or event coming up!!! We were so happy and please with everything about them!!! <3

love candid photography and most of our pictures are like that and we love them. I just received my photos online so have a lot to do going through them and choose the right ones. I can not wait to publish them as an album to always look at them and remember those moments. He captured the most important moments of our life in a beautiful way. Thank You Mike and Life Gallery Studio.

fun to go through. We also just recently got our highlight video along with the extra raw footage and I think I have watched it about 100 times in 3 days. Very prompt with answering questions. We would definitely recommend!

they have backups and even owner Scott will come out if necessary) Before we signed a contract, we had spoken with Mike who would be taking our photos on the day of the wedding. Mike was fantastic. He understood we were looking for more photo journalism style than posed photos – my husband and I understand we both take bad posed photos. Life Studio allows you to pay via credit card without incurring an additional fee. Mike arrived on time and worked with us as we moved throughout the day and to the different locations. He even braved the rain to get us outdoor newlywed photos getting quite wet himself. But I will say the photos are beautiful. I am so happy with everything – the before shots, the ceremony shots, the newlywed shots, and the reception shots. Just perfect. And he had no issue with my family and friends running around taking photos themselves. Scott worked with us after the wedding as it took about 2 weeks to edit all 927 photos and send us over the link to our portfolio. He was able to advise us on obtaining the photo copies digitally and answered all our questions about albums and prints. Overall our experience with Life Studio was simply perfect. We highly recommend them.

zing folks - even though we had a grandma unexpectedly trying to tell them what to do! They were both a lot of fun to work with, had great photo ideas, and were happy to go with the flow. (my husband and I both had photos we'd forgotten to ask for, and a few we asked for that we realized we couldn't get - Dana and Michelle were both very understanding & accommodating!)

ons of their photos online once you book with them, choose your favorites, and based on your favorites, they pick a photographer for you that matches your favorite style of photo. We got Mike for our main photographer and Michelle for our secondary... both were great! They took tons of pictures of both stationary items and decorations as well as wonderful action shots of guests dancing, etc. We just received our pictures, and got around 1600 pictures! They are of many different styles, with several black and white as well. We feel that everything we wanted to get pictures of, we have. They made sure to take the specific photos we requested. They were there when you wanted them and in the background when you didn't, which is great. Overall, great to work with, and I got my pictures within about 10 days, which is wonderful!

g our entire ceremony (start to finish). If I needed help with my veil, a quick stitch, a bobby pin, etc., Jonathan was the first one there to provide what I needed. He captured every picture we wanted. If I ever needed to hire a photographer again there's no doubt I would contact Life Gallery Studio and ask for Jonathan.

tellar! He truly made the day a special one and I'm so happy that we found Life Gallery!

hotographers and they did amazing work! We received our pictures in a week and they are all so perfect. They had great ideas and captured so many more photos than I even thought possible. We also hired videographers through life gallery and they were kind and always in the background taking videos. We haven't gotten out video yet but I am very excited to see how it turned out. I have no doubt it'll be wonderful. The price was great as well, Scott worked with us and we got a great deal. Overall, my husband and I are very happy with our decision to hire Life Gallery Studio to capture our special day.

say not only how great the pictures came out but also how lovely and kind Michelle was to work with. We had a small wedding, outdoors - and it rained and it was fantastic anyway. She worked with my family and guests without any awkwardness and helped calm my weather nerves on top of it all. I found Life Gallery last year at a point when I had about given up on being able to afford a photographer at all and I could not be more pleased - their rates are within reach for couples on a budget like we were and they did a great job. I was able to customize my package to provide what was important to us (photos all night) and leave aside extras like an album that weren't in the cards at the time with an option to go back and buy one later. On top of all that I don't think it was even two weeks that went by before I had my pictures. Thank you son much, Michelle!

ecommend Life Gallery to anyone looking for professional photographers.

engagement shoot). However, it worked out great, as expected. Mike was great with the whole Bridal Party and setting everyone up. He had some great ideas for photos and was also willing to take our ideas on the fly. Our package included an Artisan Album which turned out amazing. The photographs were great and overall we were very satisfied. I am glad this is what I chose to splurge on and it was worth every penny!

ainly glad we got two photographers. One half star rating because one of the photographers had a bit of an invasive personality. However, I talked to the studio afterwards and they were EXTREMELY receptive and kind. In any case, she still took great photos which is all that matters.

wedding and at the wedding Ronda was such a huge help that I'm not sure our day would have gone as smooth without her! Lastly, we received our photos in only 2 weeks and are very happy with them.

ed, they work as sort of a general contractor, hiring photographers as needed and then doing the processing and printing (if you purchase anything) in-house. We learned that we would have the digital and printing rights to all our shots, both from our engagement photo session (offered as part of our package) and the wedding itself, but we could purchase books or prints from them if we chose to do so. We were assigned Roxana as our photographer, and really liked her sample work. I was happy we were able to do the engagement shoot ahead of time to get to know her and see some of her work with us--we were very pleased with how those shots turned out and how she captured our personalities. She had a lot of great suggestions on the day of the wedding as well, and got so many interesting, artsy shots that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. She also did a great job capturing shots within the fairly rigid rules of wedding photography at our church during the ceremony itself. We love all the candid and pre-ceremony or reception shots. Our only negative point was that the formal family portraits taken at the church after the ceremony/before the reception were not lit particularly well, and turned out not quite as well as we would have liked. I’m hoping maybe we can correct this working with the studio on some retouching.

making sure we got a photo with each family member in multiple options. Jonathan and his assisted were on top of everything, he really knew how a wedding ran and made me feel at ease even though I had a day of Cordinator. He really stepped up and made sure that the photos I needed to get taken got taken in the timeframe that I wanted. He also took the time to pull us aside when the sun was setting to get some amazing sunset photos that me and my husband would never even have thought to go outside to take and they are some of the best photos that we have, we are really happy that he recognize and opportunity and went with it. He worked so hard and it was so amazing to work with, especially since the day of the wedding was the first time shooting with him he made me and my husband feel so comfortable and we really have nothing but amazing things to say. No only was Jonathan amazing to work with but my photos were available to me after just two weeks and working with the studio was great!

helpful. Jonathan (our photographer) was friendly, enthusiastic, and did a wonderful job! He offered many suggestions for different photos and poses and was also open to any ideas we had as well. When we were unable to take wedding photos at the site we had originally planned, Jonathan was quick to offer several other suggestions for great photo sites in the area. He helped to make the wedding day relaxed and fun. Our photos turned out beautifully, and we received them (over 2000!) within 2 weeks after the wedding.

in regards to working with them, the photographer or the images!

nd great shots. Did I mention we got our proofs back within one week of our wedding? THANK YOU to the whole LGS team (Scott, Mike & Heather) for capturing such a special day so flawlessly. We look forward to using LGS whenever we start expanding our family!
