Mike shot both our ceremony and reception on two different days and did a wonderful job. He asked many good questions and captured beautiful moments. Scott provided clear information and pricing and made the booking process smooth.

Life Gallery Studio made our wedding day memorable and preserved the essence of the day in photos and video. Scott was wonderful through the whole process with upfront pricing and expectations with us at the center of his attention. After selecting our favorite shots from their portfolio, Scott’s team paired us with a photographer, Mike, and videographer, Brian; they couldn’t have been a better match. They caught photos of EVERY guest at our wedding and all the special moments we wanted to hold onto(even the ones we didn’t know were happening). Mike found the perfect time for us to slip away during dinner for some private shots with the sunset, because I said I was worried we would miss getting to see it; I didn’t even expect to get pictures with it! Brian recorded our day so thoroughly that it feels like we can relive it; he also encouraged us to interact with the camera so we could have some cute moments to look back on and laugh at. We are so happy we got to work with Life Gallery Studio and would recommend them without a second thought. Thank you!

Our photographer Mike was fantastic. We also worked with Scott for the planning phase. We are so happy with the entire experience. We are so happy with our photos. We had a wonderful (and fun) experience. He listened to us, but also took creative license on photo ideas we never would have thought of and the pictures are fantastic! We can't thank Life Gallery enough for making the process so seamless. We got our photos back within weeks of the wedding, which was unexpected and so fun! Choose Life Gallery for a quality and reasonably priced photographer experience.

We have heard nothing but excellent feedback about Rob and Life Gallery Studio, especially on how fast we received our photographs, which is just not common with other photographers. We are so happy to have had Life Gallery Studios as a part of our special day and appreciate them for making our day even more special with capturing all the precious moments. Rob also made the photo sessions so much more fun! Overall, Life Gallery Studio has gone above and beyond on making our wedding so special. From capturing our special moments to receiving our photos so quickly, words cannot describe how happy we are with their services.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Life Gallery for our wedding! The pictures turned out absolutely stunning, capturing every special moment with a beautiful mix of candid shots and artistic compositions. Mike was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. He was punctual, well-prepared, and attentive to every detail. His warm and outgoing personality made it so easy for everyone to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and he blended seamlessly with our guests, making them feel at ease.
So many of our friends and family have commented on how much they enjoyed interacting with him, and it shows in the relaxed, happy expressions he managed to capture. We would highly recommend Mike/Life Gallery to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer who truly goes above and beyond to capture the essence of your special day!

Just what you desire when you work with a professional, seasoned photography crew! Communication was clear and timely and we ended up with Mike as our photographer on our special day. Let me tell you that we cannot stop raving about our flawless experience with Mike. Our guests also loved him and remarked how kind and professional he was; we totally agree!!
You will not regret working with Life Gallery Studio. Prior to our wedding day, Scott was in timely communication with us and very seamlessly gathered all the information needed to make our day easy. Mike showed up fully prepped and knocked the whole thing out of the park. To top it all off, when I tell you our picture are AMAZING? Our pictures came out top tier!

We had a really good experience with Life Gallery Studios. Scott was very responsive the entire time. We hired Sarah for photography and Brian for videography. They both did a fantastic job! Sarah took a lots of photos that were candid and also artistic. She took great group shots. Brian did such a great job with the videography. He recorded everything from multiple different angles. The video quality and audio we received was excellent. The highlight video really included all the best parts of the wedding. We also received a full length video of our entire ceremony and reception that was edited so you could watch it like a movie. We really loved all of the photos and videos were received and are so grateful for the time and effort that Life Gallery put into making them!

My experience with Life Gallery Studios was exceptional. Mike, the lead photographer, demonstrated remarkable organizational skills, ensuring that all the photos I had envisioned were captured perfectly, despite the challenges of managing our increasingly difficult family members. His ability to navigate such situations speaks volumes about his professionalism and dedication to his craft.
Jason, the second photographer, was a fantastic addition to our wedding day. He complemented Mike's work beautifully and delivered stunning results. Together, they managed to capture the essence of our special day with an abundance of creativity and skill.
Throughout the process, Mike was not only professional but also incredibly kind and accommodating. He provided valuable ideas and suggestions, resulting in some truly romantic shots that we will cherish forever.
I highly recommend Life Gallery Studios to anyone in search of exceptional wedding photography. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. Thank you, Mike and Jason, for capturing our memories so beautifully.

I priced many photographers before moving forward with Life Gallery Photo & Video - not only because the were my first choice as a Vendor, but because their prices and packages were unmatched!
Life Gallery Photo & Video was great to work with from the beginning. I had an unusually tight turnaround of 1 week and Scott patiently coordinated with me and provided excellent suggestions, support and feedback from the get-go.
Our photographer Rob was very easy to work with, and provided great feedback and asked the right questions in advance, to get an understanding of the expectations for the day itself. Additionally, Rob went above and beyond in providing support on the day itself, to ensure we had stunning photos. Even our families commented on how impressed they were with him.
Scott from the beginning of our discussions, provided an expected timeframe for delivery of the photos, and so I was pleasantly surprised (and impressed!) that the photo gallery link was delivered in advance of the estimated timeframe provided.
The photos turned out great, I have so many favorites and I’m so happy that Life Gallery Photo & Video had the availability given my relative "last-minute" micro-wedding, and that I was able to work with the Life Gallery Photo & Video team given the tight timeline.
Thank you again Scott, Rob, and the team at Life Gallery Photo & Video, you helped capture our day into moments we can look back on, forever!

From the first contact and chat on the phone, I felt like this was the perfect fit for our wedding. Scott answered all my questions and was very flexible with the changes I made to things like the time and adding extra time. Choosing photos we really liked helped Life Gallery match photographer styles to what we were looking for. And they were a perfect fit. Both Mike and Arron were amazing. We talked to Mike about a week before the wedding and he went over details we had already put into a list of pictures we wanted, but he also asked some other questions to help make sure the day went smoothly. Everything he shared with Arron after we spoke. While taking pictures Mike and Arron made sure to get the important photos we wanted, but also gave some insight into photos that would look great at the venue. Throughout the night they shared some of the photos they had taken and we could see how excited they were to take them. Both my husband and myself don't like being the center of attention and they helped to capture us and made us feel relaxed throughout the evening.

Mike was our photographer and he was amazing (and amazingly patient with our bridal party and families... herding cats much?) The next day I had several people tell me that they have never seen a photographer move around so much and get so many different angles of things. They gave us all of the pictures so that we could look for ourselves and choose what we liked and then edited the ones that we wanted special effects for, people removed from the background of etc. Highly recommend!

We were referred to Life Gallery Studio by my Brother in Law Pavlos. We had a Wedding in Washington DC at Saint Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral. We had our photos taken By Rob. Our wedding was from 1-6pm and Rob really got all the photos we asked for and more. I am really happy with the beautiful pictures of the Cathedral. Our wedding was on August 26th 2023 a few weeks ago and DC had extremely hot weather but he was able to run across the street with us at the cocktail hour and take pictures of us in the National Cathedral Woods and get really amazing shots of my husband and I. My mother loved the wedding photos and the reception photos she felt like the photos captured the memories of the wedding helping her relive the day which is something that will make us happy years to come!

We got married back in April. The theme of the wedding was to be futuristic and slightly avant-garde, so we wanted a photographer who had a suitably artistic eye. We had found a few who fit the bill, but price was very much a consideration. We came across Life Gallery on TheKnot, and were blown away by how highly decorated they were.
We reached out, and Scott, the owner, was prompt with communication. He sent us portfolios for 4 photographers, and we fell in love with Sarah. She was available, and we locked her in. She contacted us before the wedding, and we had a great conversation about our vision.
The day of the wedding. Posed shots. Candid shots. And a whole lot of moments — unforgettable moments, but only because Sarah captured them. We knew she was good when we saw her portfolio, but boy is she GOOD. She vacillated between a vibrant presence and a discreet shadow. She took photos that had me scratching my head because I didn’t remember her even being present during those occasions. She did double-duty as our photographer, but also our confidant — and dare I say “onsite therapist”? She provided counsel, advice, perspective, and insight that kept us smiling and present so she could capture those moments and preserve them for us for all time. And she perfectly captured moments that I’m not sure anybody else could have.
There are several special moments from that day that come to mind, but there is one that I really have to mention: she photographed the exact moment I first saw my mom walking down the stairs in her dress, and the jaw-agape expression on my face said more than any spoken word could have. For some context, my mother recently beat cancer, and her self-image has been damaged by the treatments. She hadn’t felt beautiful in almost a year. Because Sarah captured that split-second, authentic reaction, my mother will now get to see and relive that once-in-a-lifetime moment for the rest of her lifetime.
Thank you, Life Gallery Studio, for helping to make our day perfect.

Professional and courteous staff. Super fast editing (8 days for a 1200+ gallery). Be aware style is light & airy, primarily posed shots - if you prefer unique, moody, or more trendy styles/shots - be sure to verify in advance that they can deliver. Affordable pricing. Photographer(s) are selected for you, you do not choose who you work with. We didn't get to speak to both of our photographers in advance (the primary assigned photographer did call us a few days before the wedding).

I cannot recommend Life Gallery Studios enough. They were among my favorite wedding vendors. I searched for so long to find a photographer that took pictures with the quality and style I wanted that was also in my price range. From the start, Scott was easy to work with and communicative. Iryna was our main photographer, and she was wonderful. At our engagement shoot, she was friendly and easy to work with, took us to a ton of great locations, and the pictures were incredible. Iryna and Jason photographed our wedding, and they both were kind and creative, and we love how our wedding pictures turned out.
We also chose Life Gallery Studios for our videography. We recently received our highlight video, and everyone who has seen it loves it. We haven't watched the raw footage yet, but based on what we've seen so far, I'm sure it will be great.

TL;DR - Worked with Life Gallery for my wedding in March and wholeheartedly recommend them for their quality, price/value for money, and customer service!
My husband and I got married in March and Life Gallery was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I selected them because of both their positive reviews and their price point (very affordable, especially relative to what one could pay for a wedding photographer) and we were both incredibly pleased with the level of customer service, quality, and professionalism. Scott was exceptionally easy to work with and very organized. We especially appreciated the process by which they matched us with one of their photographers (going through shots and selecting our favorites). Our photographer (Sarah) was delightful - fun, funny, easy-going, efficient. We clicked with her immediately and she really understood our priorities/vision for photographs (which was executed flawlessly on her part). When we received our pictures, we could not have been happier with the staging, angles, lighting, and overall quality. Finally - I definitely commend Sarah for how she captured so much of the evening - I barely noticed she was around, but whenever I wanted to get a picture with people, she was magically always there!

My husband and I used Life Gallery as our wedding photographers in October of 2021. Mike and Jason were our photographers, and they were nothing short of amazing. They were professional while also making it fun, and seemed to really know what they were doing. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we couldn't be happier!

Our experience with Life Gallery Studio's was excellent. Great communication and awesome customer service. Having Mike as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos made the experience exceptional, he was prepared and was able to make the process natural and capture our special day. We 100% recommend Life Gallery Studio's.

The photos were fantastic. Our photographer was amazing to work with and caught so many great moments. He was professional and courteous and so patient. He drew on his numerous years of experience to make sure each photo looked great and made suggestions along the way to capture everything we could have imagined and so much more.

Jonathan was a pleasure to work with! He made sure we got the posed photos we wanted while at the same time making that process quick and easy. We were more interested in candid photos, which he captured beautifully. There were a ton of photos, 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.

Excellent photography company. They did my wedding and the shots were beautiful. They assign you a photographer based on your photo style tastes and I was happy with ours. We were pleasantly surprised that ours brought a drone to take aerial 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.

We found Life Gallery Studios on the Knot.
After sending an email, Scott promptly responded. Very tranpary, pricing was very reasonable. I enjoyed picking our “favorite 50” photos to assist them
In picking out “perfect” photographer for our wedding. 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”.

They say there is always something that goes wrong on your wedding day, and choosing Life Gallery was ours. I am writing this review as we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Throughout this year, I kept telling myself that I needed to write 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!!!

We had such a great time working with our photographer Sarah and Life Gallery Studio at our wedding! First we worked with Scott, who was always responsive and helpful. He matched us up with a photographer in the style we liked, based on previous 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!
