g - the photos they captured were not only beautiful, but truly fun and full of life. The photographers they sent for our wedding were more than just skilled at their jobs; Kate from Sunset Hill Photography even went above and beyond, holding my lipstick and phone during the ceremony and fixing my dress. We're so happy with the number of incredible photos we received and how quickly they were turned around - we already get to relive all the special moments from our big day. Portrait Gallery was truly a worthwhile investment that made our wedding day even more memorable.
Geoff was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to set up the best shots

We can't recommend Portrait Gallery enough for any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team!

You can easily tell he is very passionate about his work and has all the equipment needed to capture the day perfectly regardless of weather, lighting or any other challenges he might be faced with. Our formal portraits took no time at all, and we were able to get right back to the events. We had our photos back INSANELY quickly and they all look incredible. If you are looking for high quality photos, I highly recommend working with Portrait Gallery!!

ed to try new things while capturing. We got the photos so unbelievably fast and we can't believe how wonderful and perfect they are. He made our photo dreams come true and we cannot recommend the Portrait Gallery enough. Not only is the quality of the product and Geoff's work superior, what's included in the wedding photo packages is much better than other photographers, in my opinion. Hire Goeff, you will be so happy you did. We can't say enough amazing things. Geoff helped make our special day perfect.
Portrait Gallery from start to finish was amazing! From the original quote and follow up from Geoff, to the day of with JL and Kate, there were no issues. JL and Kate made us feel ...

though he worked with a sense of urgency there wasn’t a loss of quality in the photos. Cannot recommend The Portrait Gallery enough! 5 stars simply because there wasn’t a 6th star option. He also had photos edited very quickly and we were able to show off are wonderful day to others within a week of the event! Fantastic job!
Geoff is a master of his craft. He knows how to balance structured shots and unscripted moments. Trust his judgement, and you will have more gorgeous photos than you will know what...

hing was perfect. Our ceremony was outside in very windy conditions with ever changing light levels and Geoff was able to adapt to capture the day beautifully. He also was flexible and was able to facilitate a photo blitz during our reception to ensure that we got a picture with all of our guests. Geoff had our pictures edited and back to us very quickly. I would gladly recommend Portrait Gallery to anyone getting married in the area.
Hi ,
We would like to thank Jessica from the Portrait Gallery, your photography the day of our wedding. Selecting you was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. You wer...
e simply magical! Before and during our wedding you were a pleasure to work with, professional, yet kind as you directed us for certain photo settings. Everyone involved in the photos were impressed with your talents. During the wedding and reception, we and our guests did not notice you as you took photos. We have witnessed other photographers very obtrusive, but you were not.
After working with you before, during and after the wedding we were so excited to see the photographs. We were so pleased and impressed with the quality of each photo. We tried to pick our favorite, but so many stood out and were so beautifully done that we could not. Your vision for the settings, your use of light and your eye for that special shot was witnessed with each photo. We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful memories that you have provided.
We highly recommend Jessica and the Portrait Gallery for anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding day or special event.

We hired Jeff and the Portrait Gallery pre-Covid in early 2020. Jeff was able to take photos for our small wedding in summer 2020 and then again for our bigger reception in 2022. T...
he team was very professional, punctual, and non-intrusive during both events. The biggest highlight for me was how smooth the post-ceremony photo shoots went with the family. Compared to other weddings I've been to, Jeff's team made it a breeze, which was essential given how hot the weather was that day.
Overall, very satisfied.
Geoff, JL, and Kate clearly had great experience as photographers. They knew just the spots to go, angles, scenery, and lighting! Our photos turned out fantastic. They were great t...

Geoff did a really great job on our engagement and wedding photos!
