We had a fantastic experience with Gary Abramson during our engagement shoot. His talent behind the lens captured our love and excitement perfectly. Gary was professional, creative, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the session. The photos turned out beautifully, reflecting his skill in capturing candid moments and the essence of our relationship.
Gary's packages were definitely the best among competitors considering the prices around. He also went above and beyond, helping us find the perfect engagement photoshoot venue and easing our nerves in front of the camera.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Gary was unable to photograph our wedding. Despite this, we are deeply grateful for his efforts in trying to assist us in finding a new photographer on short notice. Gary also offered to refund any payments we had made, demonstrating true professionalism and consideration for our situation.
We genuinely appreciate Gary Abramson's services and highly recommend him for capturing special moments with skill and care. We will definitely reach out to him for any other photos we need in the future.

Gary was fantastic from day 1. We booked an engagement shoot with him and he did a beautiful job, making us feel super comfortable . Wedding day came around and he was very accommodating and did such a great job capturing the day , both with formal shots and candid ones , catching all the fun highlights and moments , as well as the decor and setup . He even came through in a jiffy with some emergency shout wipes when I spilled a drink on my dress . On such a nerve wracking day he put my mind at ease which speaks to his experience and professionalism . He also was very accommodating when it came to working within our price range . I wouldn’t hesitate to book him for any of our future life milestones !!

I could not be more happy with Photography Your Way. Gary and his crew were amazing. They made it easy through the whole process. I felt the prices were fair. The day of my wedding I was a nervous wreck. Gary kept me in check and right on track. He calmed me down with his confidence. It took me about 2 1/2 weeks to get my pictures back. My images are beautiful. Breathtaking to say the least. I just ordered two photo albums and they arrived yesterday. Super high-quality.. I highly recommend this company.

Gary and Roland did an exceptional job taking photos of my daughter’s wedding. Despite oppressive heat, they were able to capture the most beautiful pictures. Thank you Gary and Roland!

Gary was pleasant to work with for our small wedding at Encore and captured our precious moments. His printed photo album was really nice. You should definitely visit his studio and he can teach you all about photography.

I genuinely do not have enough nice things to say about Gary and his team. They made our day effortlessly beautiful and captured the most beautiful pictures. My husband and I felt so comfortable throughout the whole day and we CANNOT stop looking at our photos! Thank you so much for my making our day even more special! :)
Response from the Vendor on 01/21/2023
Hi Demetra & Jack,
Thank you so much for letting me be part of your day. I really enjoyed it. The both of you have a wonderful future together and Chesley with all the support of your amazing family and friends. This made my day.
11/29/2022 • Jess A
Gary is the BEST! So accomadating to all of my questions, schedule updates, and with so many people we wanted to get in our photos. Not to mention he was so kind - would highly suggest booking with him!

We had the pleasure of working with Photography Your Way for our wedding reception. We have worked with many professional photographers in the past - none come close to Gary and his team of professional photographers. Gary goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable, answers any and all questions lightning fast and is very personable! When my husband and I met Gary and Val we felt as though they were old friends of ours. We instantly felt comfortable on a very stressful day and they both were very relaxed with the chaos of the day. We were nervous to shoot and they were funny, made us feel right at home and took the most beautiful photos! Gary sent us the images WITHIN A WEEK! Unheard of from my experience. Pricing is also extremely reasonable. Gary and Photography Your Way is our primary photographer going forward. Don't delay! They will book up!

Just got married April 09, 2022. Words cannot express how grateful we are that Gary @ Photography Your Way was a part of our special day! From day one, even just speaking on the phone with Gary is such a pleasure, always answered your call and if not, he immediately got right back to you. He is so willing to help in any way possible even if it wasn't photo related. From the moment Gary arrived, he was a joy to be around, very cool, down to earth gentlemen. He made everything so easy and comfortable, felt like we were truly good friends. After this experience we do consider Gary a friend and look forward to seeing him again to capture future memories!❤ We highly recommend Gary and Roland. Roland captured our engagement photos with our pups and his work is also incredible! Just look at their photos, they speak for themselves.....Photography Your Way is the BOMB!💥

I got married in September 2021 Photography Your Way was my photographer. I couldn’t have been happier Gary was so professional, experienced and friendly his direction was incredibly helpful to get the best possible photos and catch the best moments. I would highly recommend him for any occasion…
12/01/2021 • Alyssa H
Gary went out of his way to make our interactions personalized from the very beginning, and continued to do so through out our journey leading up to and during the wedding. He was very easy to talk to, flexible, understanding, and made us feel comfortable and reassured through the entire process. He had so many fun ideas that we talked about prior to the wedding that made me really excited. However, we had a very large wedding party and tine got away from us. I’m bummed we didn’t get to try some of those shots, but am still thrilled with all of the pictures and the hard work Gary and Roland did for us. We’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the photography was, and they really captured all the beautiful parts of our day, and even some of the little things in between. It was an absolute pleasure working with them from beginning to end. Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again in the future and we’ll have another chance at some of those cool shots!

Gary was amazing. He really went the extra mile for my special day. I had a small outdoor covid wedding in Rockport originally was not getting a photographer because how low key it was. last minute I found Gary and my wedding was the only opening he had ... fate? Gary also took the time to meet with me and walk around Rockport finding the perfect spot for my wedding photos. ABOVE AND BEYOND every step of the way. I've received so many compliments on my photos. we were really happy with the outcome !
10/27/2021 • Jennifer B
I highly recommend using Photography Your Way. Gary and Roland were amazing- very professional and fun to work with. They really knew what they were doing and we are thrilled with how our pictures came out. From the very first phone call I had with Gary, I knew right away that he was going to do a great job, and the day of the wedding he did not disappoint! We hope to use them again in the future.

If I could give Photography Your Way more than 5 stars I would. Gary and Roland are so personable and easy to work with. I had a lot of questions and they answered them all and really made me feel at ease during the planning process. We had Roland as our photographer on the day of and you can tell he knows exactly what he's doing. Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined! I 100% recommend PYW for all your picture needs :)

Gary was so fabulous to organize with, he made the entire planning process so easy! We had Roland as our photographer the day of our wedding, he handled our rowdy groomsmen like a true Marine, and we loved him for it! He captured the most incredible pictures and moments in the most lovely and fun way, and had a vision of how to pose and where to be to ensure we had the best pictures! I would recommend Roland and the entire PYW team to any bride! Thank you so much for everything!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2021
Thank you so much . Roland and I thank you so much . We both wish you the best in the future and hope to see you again.

8/22/2021 • Alex F
Gary was great to work with for our wedding! We asked a lot of questions over a long period of time as we booked Gary more than a year in advance of our wedding. He was always so accommodating and quick to answer our questions. He also customized a photography package to what we wanted and how we envisioned our day. We love our pictures and the ability to have the digital downloads. Would highly recommend Gary to anyone who is looking for a photographer!
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2021
Dear Alex & Steven,

I hired photography your way to document my engagement. Gary, the photographer, was incredibly helpful and took beautiful shots. I couldn't recommend him enough.
8/29/2020 • Matt D
I knew from first speaking with Gary that he was awesome. He was incredibly supportive planning for our (corona) wedding . The photos he and his team captured are incredible memories that we will cherish forever. Fantastic quality photos with perfect light and exposure. Great Job Gary! Would 100% recommend .
8/09/2020 • Greg C
Gary was super professional and accommodating throughout the entire process. My wife and I planned a small intimate backyard wedding in a relatively short timeframe and Gary was more than willing to work with us with whatever we wanted to do while providing his professional opinion and helping organize guests into some amazing shots. Overall we’re very happy with the custom package he put together for us and couldn’t be happier with the pictures!
Response from the Vendor on 08/09/2020
Hi Greg,
Thank you so much for the awesome review. It was a great backyard wedding. I felt honored to be part of such a big day. Things could not have been more perfect. Thank you for everything and hopefully we will meet again in the future.

Sincerely,
Gary Abramson

5 stars across the board! I cannot recommend Photography Your Way enough! There are a number of packages to choose from to fit your budget. Gary is very personable, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. He made sure to capture the most amazing and memorable photos of the best day of our lives. We will be able to relive our wedding day through our pictures. Thank you for everything, Gary!
Response from the Vendor on 07/03/2020

Gary was such a pleasure to work with! He has a wonderful upbeat persona, he is punctual and even more his website listed a choice of packages with prices listed right there so you know exactly what you are getting for the price you want. He was thorough taking group pictures but quick, so the process moved along. I would highly recommend Gary to anybody because he is dependable, very friendly and he has very reasonable prices for his services

2/07/2020 • Sarah B
I met Gary through a friend of mine and I’m so thankful I did! The second I got engaged I made sure he had the date available before I chose a date- because I knew I needed him to be my photographer! The whole time planning the wedding Gary helped me countless of times with any questions I had- some not even related to photography because he is so knowledgeable about weddings! The whole wedding Gary (And his second shooter) were attentive and made sure they captured all the best shots! (Gary also had the flu at the time and was still so amazing that you would have never known)!! I got my pictures back at a reasonable rate and was so in love with how they came out!!!! I highly recommend working with Gary. Amazing quality, great price, and very easy to get along with!!
11/11/2019 • Stephanie D
Gary was a dream to work with. Everyone commented how unobtrusive he and the other photographer were throughout the wedding and he managed to get so many beautiful shots. Gary is very straightforward about pricing (which I think we can all appreciate!) and was just a great to work with. Would highly recommend!
8/12/2019 • Briana A
Gary An his team have captured not only my wedding but my two sister in laws! He was a blast at all 3 wedding capturing the day absolutely perfectly. He is so easy to work with and had all my photos back to me not even 2 weeks later! A preview of 35 photos within 72 hours! I can’t give him enough positive comments. Just simple that I loved working with him and his work speaks for its self !
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2019
Thank you so much. What an amazing day. We couldn’t ask for anything more as photographers to have such an amazing couple and family. The venue was beautiful. You were beautiful people . We thank you for everything

Gary and Cory from Photography Your Way did an awesome job during my May wedding. Gary was very responsive in the months leading up to it and gave a lot of advice about vendors as a whole that helped our wedding planning process go smoothly. He was on time the day of and took some really excellent shots of my husband and I getting ready, the ceremony and reception. He made everyone feel comfortable and really ebbed and flowed with the vibe of the night so that we got some wonderful candid shots of our family and friends. He also got the photos up on the website in record time - we hadn't even finished our honeymoon yet! His pricing is very reasonable and right on the website. He gives you the rights to the originals so that you can make your own copies whenever you need. What I really appreciated about Gary was that he's upfront about everything. If you want someone who makes you feel at ease and takes excellent shots to capture your special moments, all at a great rate, you got your guy.
12/01/2018 • Elyssa D
Gary and Cory were absolutely a dream to work with. Their energetic personalities and expertise delivered the most professional and amazing experience on my wedding day. They both captured absolutely beautiful photos for my wedding at an extremely affordable price. I would highly recommend Gary and his team! I will certainly use them again for another professional photo session. Thank you Gary and Cory!!! I cannot say enough good things about Photography Your Way!
6/10/2018 • Melissa M
Gary and Cory were so easy to work with the day of our wedding! Gary was great with helping us plan a timeline, giving suggestions and asking if we needed him to bring us anything. They were great when I got emotional and needed a minute to stop and fix my make up. We will use them again for another occasion.
7/18/2017 • Heather T
I can't even begin to thank Gary enough. He went above and beyond in capturing beautiful moments on my husband and my wedding day from "getting ready" shots, the first look and candids on the dance floor. He even at one point got down on the wet grass to get just the right angle for some formal shots. The price was just right, and the quality of the images was far superior than I could have imagined. He was kind, professional, and efficient. He even did a wonderful job capturing shots of the guests that we have decided to send them with our thank you cards. Thank you so much Gary! I would highly recommend Photography Your Way!
6/11/2017 • Cassie M
Gary was so great to work with, he was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, he was affordable, understanding, helpful with recommendations for other vendors, he answered all photography questions we had, and he was receptive to all photography inspiration ideas I had. He was always responsive to emails, upbeat and positive. When the forecast turned rainy for the week of my wedding and we had to rethink a lot of the outdoor pictures we had, Gary was wonderfully reassuring and on the big day he and his assistant were able to capture some beautiful rainy day pictures that I wouldn't have thought of. He was very honest and extrememly reasonable with his pricing, there were zero unexpected expenses with him, and I am so pleased with our end result pictures. In addition to rights to ALL our photos, Gary also mailed us a CD drive storing all our pictures and a 4x6 print out of every picture, saving us a lot of time! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!
12/09/2016 • Cara M
Gary photographed my wedding on 11/25/16 and I can't say enough good things about him! First of all, he was so personable and friendly, but was able to get our large wedding party to pay attention for the photos. He also had great ideas and made us feel completely comfortable from the time we booked to the end of the wedding reception. Not to mention he already edited all of our photos and got them back to us. Thank you Gary for capturing our night!
2/08/2016 • Jessica
Wedding pictures are a huge part of any wedding day! Everyone wants the best photographer to capture the magic of the day, but the cost can run real high. Gary and his staff did an amazing job of capturing our day, at a price that fit within our budget!
From our first meeting, we knew Gary at Photography Your Way would be our guy! He fit in well with our personality, offered amazing packages at prices we could afford, and just gave us that feeling we were looking for. When we did our engagement pictures, we were just as impressed as our first meeting and were so happy with the pictures, which we had back within 24 hours!
Unfortunately, Gary was unable to shoot our wedding due to medical reasons, but he sent along two of his top photographers in his place, with the promise they would work just as hard as he would, and he was not wrong! We loved having Cory and Christine, they fit right into our group and helped ease the wedding day nerves! They got all the shots we wanted, and more, at a quality we didn't even imagine!
We are so happy with our choice to use Photography Your Way! Gary and his staff did an amazing job and we absolutely love our photos!

We cannot say enough good things about Gary Abramson and Photography Your Way. We found him online from a search on WeddingWire and The Knot within our price range. Having seen good things in the reviews and on his website (we appreciated the amount of information as well as the quality of photos), we met with him and both instantly took a liking to him. We were on a budget and he was affordable, accommodating, professional, detail-oriented, friendly, helpful, and FUN! The package we chose included 2 photographers (he brings along a second guy to help capture the details, Cory, who was also great) and the full day of coverage - no hour or location limits. I didn't see anything else like it for anywhere near the same price range. He includes so much, is so focused on capturing the moments that are important to you, and like I said, he is fun to work with too! We also just got our photos back, within a month of our wedding! They are absolutely phenomenal. I'm impressed at the turnaround time and it was clear he had worked hard to get them back to us quickly. We are so happy with them. He did a beautiful job and we would recommend him to anyone. If you are in the Boston/North Shore area, absolutely meet with Gary and look into having him photograph your wedding. He does fantastic work and we are so thrilled with how everything came out, as well as the experience of working with him on the big day itself, which matters a lot too! Our photography was one of the areas of wedding planning that we put a lot of thought into, knowing that it is what lasts, and Gary allayed all our fears. This was something we didn't want to scrimp on in terms of quality, but we also needed the price to be reasonable. Gary delivers on both sides. We are so happy with how our photos came out and we didn't have to break the bank. Photography Your Way was an excellent choice in every way and Gary's services are worth every penny.

Gary is a fantastic photographer and person. We enjoyed having him and his wife photograph our wedding, so professional and personable. He listened to our ideas of what we wanted and suggested other poses and locations to get the most out of wedding day. He is also really quick to get us our pictures, we had a preview the next afternoon and our disks within 2 weeks. Our guests enjoyed him so much that one couple is having him photograph their wedding next summer. We couldn't say enough about Gary and the quality of his photography and business demeanor.
Response from the Vendor on 12/01/2018
Thank you so much. It really was an amazing day. We feel so lucky to be part of your big day with such amazing friends and family. Your wedding is definitely something I will always stay in my mind.
6/02/2013 • Nicole M
I can not explain how HAPPY I am with my photos. They came out so wonderful, pretty and caught all friends and family. I love looking at them because it brings back the day. Gary is wonderful to work with, he listens to all your needs and wants. I could not have asked for a better company. Kendra was wonderful as well. I am in love with my photos. Quick, and speedy timing to get them back. Everything is great. I have showed many people the photos and they can not believe how wonderful they are. I am recommending this company to everyone.
6/11/2011 • Julie M
I loved Gary!! He was a joy to work with and really made me feel at ease. He immediately grasped my vision for my Boston wedding and was thrilled to work with me. On my wedding day, he was punctual, enthusiastic, and unobtrusive. His photos were FANTASTIC! I received my DVDs in less than 3 weeks after my wedding date. All this, and at a very reasonable price! I would recommend Gary to all my friends!
11/16/2010 • Selina W
Gary Abramson is a photographer I found through Craigslist when our budget didn't allow for thousands of dollars in photos. He was very accomodating, and gave us exactly what we were looking for... Simply taking photos at the wedding and sending us disks. He photoshopped a few of them for us, but we weren't looking for anything fancy, just a record of the day. We got 2 photographers for 5 hours for well unter $1000. I highly reccomend him if you are looking for cost savings and don't want all the "extras" that most photographers require.
5/10/2010 • Dawn M
Gary is just getting started in the business. He was extremely professional and affordable. We did not want an album (just the digital photos) and he worked with us in that regard. Turnaround time was only a week and a half from the wedding to time that the digital images were provided to us.

My name is Gary Abramson. Growing up near the ocean has inspired me in my photography in a huge way. That is what got me into this originally. I love being around happy people and photographing their big day. It is way too of an important day to do this and not love what you do. I started photographing people at 11 years old. My great uncle bought me my first Nikon and I started shooting from that day forward. It is my passion. My second thing that I strive myself on is outstanding customer service . That is very important to me also. We want to be part of your big day.
