Randall Garnick Photography

made us feel at ease when we took our engagement photographs and this level of comfort translated directly to our wedding day. Randall is so great to work with, organized, very responsive, and extremely talented!! He made the wedding planning process easy, and the photographs from our wedding are absolutely beautiful. Randall was present for the entire day - before, during, and up until the end of our wedding reception - and he captured every moment! We feel so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Randall on our wedding day - he is an outstanding photographer!

l is kind, calm, and detail oriented which was the perfect combination. We highly recommend Randall!

wedding planning and to ask if we needed anything from him. He is thoughtful and has a calming presence, which was great to be around on our wedding day. His second shooter for our wedding day, Wayne Chinnock, was such an amazing surprise too—they worked so well together to come up with really creative and beautiful shots. We would work with Randall again in a heartbeat!

ich we really appreciated given how stressful the wedding planning process can be at times. We selected his “Notting Hill” package, which we loved because it included not only wedding photography, but also an engagement photoshoot, a guestbook based on the engagement photoshoot, and a wedding photo album (with parent copies). The engagement photoshoot came out beautifully; we tried to time it to coincide with the foliage peaking, and Randall was extremely patient and flexible with us as we tried to plan for and work around the unpredictable Boston fall weather. The engagement photoshoot itself also came out great; even though neither my husband nor I had experience getting our picture taken in this type of setting, Randall made us feel very comfortable and had excellent ideas to take advantage of the scenery. We loved the photos so much we had trouble choosing which to use for our save the date cards. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Randall was very organized and responsive, and stayed in close touch with us to discuss different logistics and plans related to coordinating with the videographers, timing, portraits with family members, and sunset photos, etc. On the wedding day itself, Randall kept us very calm and relaxed throughout the day, worked seamlessly with the videographers, and also took many amazing photographs that made great use of the colors and light, showed his impressive creative vision, and beautifully captured every part of the day. We were so delighted to see all the photographs a few months after the wedding, and to later work with Randall on a photo album which provides a tangible pictorial summary of our day (in fact, we also had trouble choosing what should go into the album because there were also so many great pictures to choose from). In short, we had a terrific experience working with Randall and feel very lucky to have been able to work with him as our wedding photographer.

k with. We really couldn't be happier with the way the photos turned out. I had family come up to me after the wedding to comment on how it seemed like he was everywhere all at once but never got in the way or took away from the wedding itself. He had an assistant with him, Wayne, that was amazing. Not only did he help capture all the important moments but he was there to help when my fiancé had some wardrobe issues! We also had Randall do our engagement photos and they were stunning! He was great at giving us direction but also letting us be ourselves. I can't recommend Randall enough - it will be the easiest decision you make. He is there every step of the way to help make sure you get everything you want out of your engagement/photos.

When we told our coordinator that we had booked with Randall, she said “OH… your photos are going to be AMAZING!” Randall is a preferred vendor of our venue, so our coordinator had worked with Randall and seen his work from countless weddings.. she was right! The engagement session early on was so easy and fun. The photos were fantastic and we loved getting to use them for our Save-the-Dates. During the planning process, Randall could not have been more helpful guiding us through different options for timing + location along with the pros/cons of each. On the day-of, Randall and his associate Wayne were incredible to see in action. Both of them brought a calming, professional energy that made the formal photos feel easy and natural. They designed some creative shots and we were floored by the results from the sneak peek photos alone! When it came to the dance floor, they went above and beyond, climbing on step ladders to capture all the fun! Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Randall and would HIGHLY recommend his photography services!! Thank you Randall for capturing the biggest day of our lives!!!

happen. He was adaptable and when it rained during our first look he pulled out umbrellas for us and captured a beautiful moment anyways. He's kind, calm, professional, and the pictures came out great!! I highly recommend choosing Randall for photography

hat we wanted. On the day itself he was wonderful - he made us feel incredibly at ease and he had a calm and relaxed approach with all of our guests as all of the formal poses were set up. After the photos were ready, it was so easy to look through them all and we could not have been happier with the results. Finally, Randy took the time to talk us through the curation and design of the album in two separate meetings - he gave great advice on design and layout whilst making it clear that the album would be exactly as we wanted to be. The final album is absolutely beautiful - the perfect record of our special day. We cannot recommend Randy highly enough!

in our engagement shoot as well as on our big day. His photos are absolutely outstanding!

everal postponements. His photographs are beautiful, and we love his style. He was also a very easygoing, calm presence during a stressful day. Wayne (the second photographer) was fantastic as well. It was great to have a photographer who knew our venue (Saltwater) well. Randy has given us photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives, and we’re so grateful.

orite day, and its all thanks to him. He captured all of the best moments -- his creative ideas and artistic eye make for such beautiful photos. He truly puts so much thought into each photo that he takes. We could not be any happier with our decision to hire Randall to document our wedding day! We would 10/10 recommend him!

ar prior, he impressed us by looking up the time of sunset for our fall wedding day. If it wasn't for his planning, we would have started the ceremony later and missed out on daylight photos. Randall captured our inner essence and joy on our wedding day. The gallery of photos he produced tells the story of our special day far beyond the images. He is soft spoken, gentle and unassuming in his manner. We didn't even notice him throughout the ceremony and reception (and that's a compliment). He puts so much time and effort into the planning process that the day is seamless. We had multiple planning conversations, and he rightly insists on gathering information from the bride and groom ahead of time--including a written plan of all groups to be photographed on the actual day. He is a consummate professional and it shows! By the time we met him on the day-of, he already felt like a trusted friend. He knew exactly where and when to photograph us and our guests, and he allowed us to create humorous and unconventional shots as well! We were literally speechless when he sent us finished photos. Everyone who has seen them has also raved about their quality, essence, and creativity. We love them all and we are forced to nitpick in order to select prints. We would choose him all over again!!

alm manor, and beautiful work blew me away. It was a no brainer when I got engaged that I wanted him to be our photographer. We had a very big bridal party and wedding (200 people). Randall captured every single moment perfectly. We also had a second shooter who was equally as incredible and experienced that Randall brought along! Throughout the entire wedding process he was very easy to communicate with, and even helped with the day of schedule planning. I was truly in awe at my photos and am so beyond thrilled with the work that Randall put into them to make them something I will cherish forever.

ncredibly helpful and approachable with questions. The day of went flawlessly and we could not be happier with our photos!! They captured the day perfectly!! Thank you again Randall and Wayne!!

nt photographers, we were extremely picky and looking for someone who matched our attention to detail, but had the artistic and empathetic sense to capture the best moments. The quality and style of his images stood out from the crowd of wedding photographers. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s natural and sophisticated. Randall’s vibe aligned exactly with what we were looking for. After meeting with him a couple times over the phone, it was obvious we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. The connection and ease we found with Randall shows through in the final product. We are generally not seeking “cheesy photo moments” and have a tendency to strike a pose when there’s a camera. Randall knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. We also did an engagement shoot, which at first we were doubtful about. At Randall’s suggestion, we went ahead with it. I’m so glad we did, as it was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. We have the most beautiful and unrushed photos from that exciting time right before the big day. It’s a truly unforgettable and unique time between engagement and marriage and now we have beautiful mementos of that time. On the wedding day, the pressure was on, but no pressure seemed too great for Randall! Randall was not only our photographer, but acted as our wedding day planner and manager, directing other vendors and even the venue staff itself. I do NOT envy Randall’s job. He had to deal with all our lofty expectations, direct the other vendors and venue staff, manage the bride and groom family dynamics, deal with a wedding party that was enjoying the preparation process, and found key and natural moments with all the most important people in our lives. We recommend Randall to all our friends and family and look forward to having Randall capture the most important future moments of our life together.

iately after our wedding. Randall did the loveliest job capturing us at our best but most natural—exactly what we wanted. He was also incredibly easy to work with. You knew he was there just enough to know he was paying attention, but gave us the space to feel comfortable just doing us. Highly recommend Randall!

postpone several times. Randy made it an easy & stress free process to ensure we were able to reschedule for our big day. One our wedding day we had Randy and a second photographer, Wayne. They were both easy to communicate with & captured some incredible shots. Rain & shine, we got the photos! Randy & Wayne did an amazing job, we had so much fun & hope they had as much as we did! 10/10 would recommend for all your photography needs!

ional and willing to incorporate our ideas into the wedding album design. Randall is so talented and was able to capture the best parts of our wedding and preserve them in our memories forever in what turned out to be a stunning wedding album. We highly recommend Randall to anyone looking to hire a photographer for any event.

red, we happened upon a wedding album on a table in the meeting room. As we were flipping through the photos, I was drawn to how beautifully Randy was able to capture this couple in their element. There’s something truly magical about being able to capture candid moments. With what I previewed, I didn’t need to go online to read reviews for Randy to know that I wanted to book him for our wedding. With his warm and inviting personality, working with Randy was truly a delightful experience. We had our engagement photoshoot at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, literally a week before the world shut down during the 2020 pandemic. The museum was already shut down to the public, but the sculpture park remained open. Randy really took his time in finding spots in the park to take our shots. But what I loved most about his style and technique was that he didn’t tell us how to pose, as to not create heavily curated photos. Instead, he simply gave us suggestions or a general direction on what we could do, so we had the freedom to act as we pleased and knew Randy would find that perfect candid moment to capture. Our original wedding date was supposed to be in October 2020 but got postponed to October 2021, and Randy was responsive and accommodating to those changes. When our wedding day finally arrived, Randy and his assistant, Wayne, were on their A-game the entire day. They even catered to our silly request in taking photos of us eating our appetizers. Thanks to Randy and Wayne, our wedding day at Elm Bank lives forever through all the beautiful photos that were captured. I can not recommend him enough. Thank you again, Randy and Wayne!

er reception in 2021. Both times he captured the spirit of the day with an elegance, warmth, emotion, and vision that blew our minds and transports us back to the magic of the day every time we look at them. When you're running around and greeting people on your wedding day, you inevitably miss out on some sweet, funny, and emotional moments, but Randy captured them all so vividly that we don't feel like we missed anything at all. And he gave us a breathtaking new perspective on all the moments we do remember, helping us relive the joy from every angle. Beyond his talents, he was an absolute pleasure to work with, prompt with communication, and always made us feel at ease, comfortable, and cared for. Planning a wedding for 2020 led to a lot of confusion and stress on our end, and Randy was so patient and kind through every step of planning, and even the big day itself. When I had some pre-ceremony tears as a mix of worrying about my dress and pent-up pandemic anxiety, Randy communicated my stress to my husband-to-be before our first look so he could comfort me. I felt touched that Randy did that, going above and beyond his duties to make sure we had the perfect day. His work speaks for itself, managing to simultaneously be truthful to the moments and emotions he captures, while still creative, artistic, and innovative. He puts so much thought and heart into every photo, and the results are truly unbelievable. We are so happy we worked with Randy, and so incredibly thankful for the memories he's given us.

is an expert in both of these skills! Like every family, we had our share of characters at the wedding. Unlike most, we had to reschedule (twice), move venues, AND had an additional small ceremony (outside in unseasonable snow) in the height of COVID (Oct 2020). Randall was accommodating, kind, and creative. I'd give him more stars if I could!!

We will be forever grateful that he was there with us capturing our memories on our day. As a bonus, he hires a second photographer who is actually a first photographer who just doesn't happen to have a gig that day - not just someone who is a photographer-in-training - and he only hires people he really likes. Our second photographer with him also was incredibly talented. I loved the way Randall worked with developing photos to capture the true light (some photographers keep all photos over- or under-developed - Randall develops all photos in an ideal way to capture the mood). Randall brought a positive energy that added to the beauty of our photos. Any couple would be lucky to have Randall capture their day.

ith the stress of a Covid wedding was very difficult while planning, but they made us feel very secure in our decision and everything went as smoothly as possible. Highly recommend them to anyone, as they will make your vision come to life!

the perfect angle! He is awesome, professional and makes your wedding day feel at ease! I absolutely loved every single photo taken that day! He is sure worth every penny!! Thank you so much again Randall!

a family wedding. I was blown away by the beauty of his work. Right from our first conversation I knew Randy would be the perfect wedding photographer for us. Neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera and when I voiced this concern with Randall he immediately put our minds as ease. He was easy to communicate with through email and phone calls. He responded quickly and professionally with any questions we had. When we got the change to meet him in person for engagement photos, it was immediately clear how patient and easygoing he was. He was even adventurous enough to drive 45 minutes on an off road beach adventure to capture our engagement photos in a sentimental and meaningful spot for us. On our wedding day, he seamlessly blended right into the flow of the day. Randy kept what could easily be a chaotic time, calm and collected. The quality of his work and his easygoing temperament made for the perfect wedding photography experience! We highly recommend Randall for anyone looking for professional photography needs

ence. He is so passionate about what he does which is displayed in his work and his ability to capture every detail and moment. He is so personable and makes you feel very comfortable right away, and he genuinely wants to help capture your vision and bring it to life. It was such a pleasure working with Randy and we loved his photos so much!! I highly recommend choosing him as your photographer for your event.

y. The photos came out beautiful and we were thrilled with the moments he captured for us for our small Covid wedding. I had originally worked with him years before as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. That experience was so nice that I'd recommended him to some other friends over the years. So when it was finally my turn for the big day there was no way I wasn't going to use him for myself!

with the limited space and he was able to capture many memorable photos which also included the Boston skyline. He created an album for me which turned out to be more than I could have imagined. There is one photo of my daughter that captured my heart. His photos are not only unique but they also show great depth and clarity. We are looking forward to working with him again when we have the larger celebration in October 2021. I would highly recommend Randy as a wedding photographer. -- Mother of the Bride

ork with throughout the planning process, to include making COVID rearrangements as painless as possible. I can not recommend him enough.

thoughtful suggestions, expertly balancing our wants and needs with his expertise. Our engagement photos were beautiful and a great example of his ability to adapt when our ideal location wasn't as ideal as we had hoped. He quickly suggested an area we weren't familiar with that ultimately turned out to be the perfect backdrop! On our wedding day, the photographers were attentive and warm allowing us to be ourselves while capturing every moment of our special day. They blended in seamlessly throughout our ceremony and reception and were able to draw out the love we have for each other along with the love and support from our friends and family. Our time spent with Randy after the wedding was a great experience as well! He was sure to include us in every decision but also made sure we were making quality choices so we would have a keepsake to cherish forever. The wedding album was so beautifully done and something we are sure to share with our parents, kids, and grand kids! We would highly recommend Randall Garnick Photography to anyone looking for unbeatable professionalism, expert photography, and a warm, caring experience. We look forward to working with them year after year as we grow in our life together and expand our family.

y-going, which really helped us get comfortable having our photos taken in the engagement session and on the wedding day. He will put you at ease and on the wedding day, you won't even notice him (which is good!) as he's stealthy with getting the perfect shot. Though he may seem chill on the outside, when he's taking photos, you can see the gears turning to capture really beautiful and artistic images and he's always looking around for interesting settings to photograph you in. He also chose an excellent second shooter for our wedding day; they had great chemistry and he was also wonderful to be around. You can definitely trust Randy (and who he picks if you're having a second shooter)! I chose Randy because I kept coming back to his photos during our venue search. He had photographed some venues we were considering and I loved his photos the best. I love how vivid the colors are, how creative the artistic images were, but also how thorough he is in getting all the photos you need (like making sure you got all the aunts and uncles, cousins, every permutation of your family members). He made sure we got all the essentials and more! He was abundantly prepared for any photographic and lighting situation on our wedding day, and pulled us aside for any creative shots he had in mind throughout the night. He was very efficient and never disrupted the evening when we did the more fun/creative photos. He provides both high res and web res images for whatever you plan to use the images for (high quality prints large and small, portraits for parents, uploading to social media, etc.). Also he's really great at photoshop if you need a few things edited (like a scar) or removed (exit sign in the background, jogger in the background). Creating the album was a really fun process as well. I will say, we opted to include many more pages than what was included in our package, which incurred an extra cost we didn't think about until we started actually reviewing what photos to put into the album. Everyone is different in what they want to include, and we erred on including more in our album. We are happy with the result! Randy put together a thorough initial draft, and having printed some photos out separately, we were able to cut it down to exactly what we wanted. He had done a fantastic first pass that we could then wade through and critically look at. All in all, Randy is your guy. He's excellent at what he does and his passion for photography makes for a fantastic experience working with him. I look forward to having him capture future life and family events!

lism, and artist eye truly captured all the memories from our wedding day. We can’t stop looking at the photos! His demeanor makes it easy to relax and be in the moment. His assistant was also exceptional! The both of them kept things moving in a calm and smooth way. The pictures they took really tell a story and we could not be happier! You know that you are in capable hands with Randy and we can’t wait to see the full album! We also had him do our engagement photos which came out superb! You can tell he loves what he does and he is so easy and fun to work with. I really can’t say enough and I would highly recommend Randy!

wedding. He kept us relaxed on the day and was an absolute professional. He kept in communication with us about what exactly we wanted in our wedding photos. We loved that he was able to make wedding albums tailored to each side of the family, in addition to a larger album for me and my husband. The photos are beautiful and we’ll treasure them for years to come. We’d recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Randy!

l other photographers and the work he produces is truly special. Perhaps our favorite part of working with Randall is his gentle, calming presence that evokes genuine moments of natural emotion. We felt incredibly comfortable in the moment, and he was there to capture it all. It was a great joy to work with him and we will treasure these moments forever!

ity to capture precious moments and knows how to really tell a story with a picture. He was so professional and helpful throughout the entire process and made us feel at ease (which is hard because I am a type-A monster, but I trusted him do his thing!). On the day of the wedding, Randy did an excellent job keeping us on schedule, wrangling family photos, and did it all so calmly and smoothly! His assistant was also incredibly nice and did an amazing job capturing candids (and knew how interact with the younger kids). He captured our day perfectly and we will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Randy!! TLDR; I HIGHLY recommend Randy; very talented at capturing moments and telling stories with his photography.

delivering amazing photos, he was a creative collaborator--helping us to choose photo sites (indoor and outdoor) and make the most of our venue (the Museum of Science in Boston). Our photos blew our minds. We couldn't have been happier--he gave us images for a lifetime.

was willing to travel to Newburyport without hesitation to capture us in one of our favorite locations. His calm presence and creative mind allowed for a fun-filled and relaxed shoot, ending with ice cream from our favorite shop! On our wedding day, Randy and his second shooter Wayne arrived right on time, and this set the stage for a stress free process. I worked with Randy beforehand to create a photo shoot timeline involving many locations around Boston. Randy was able to carry out all of our wishes, and of course added many creative poses and ideas along the way. Randy is willing to be as instructional or laid back as you wish, but it's definitely helpful to let him use his professional judgement along the way. As for the end result, we are more than thrilled with all of the photos and our beautiful wedding album! The attention to detail and keen eye for capturing emotion clearly shows in all of Randy's work. Process wise- Randy stuck to all of his proposed timelines and worked very closely with us along the way. We can't thank you enough Randy!!!

in mind. The wedding went by in a blur, but we’ve spent so much time enjoying our photos reliving the day. Randy took amazing posed photos of us and also captured all the special moments. (When I saw some of the great candid shots, I was surprised because I didn’t even know he was there.) I was a little type A about the pictures and had some very specific photos I wanted. Randy was completely accommodating. He sent us a questionnaire before the wedding to hear all our ideas and priorities and to create a timeline for the day. The day of our wedding, Randy and his associate photographer (Savannah) were really working hard all day, even when they were getting rained on. Randy was well-organized but also relaxed. He knows how to tell you to pose to make you look good. We had an outdoor ceremony, and it started raining in the middle of the ceremony. Yeah, I didn’t want it to rain on our wedding, but –silver lining- they got some really cool photos of us in the rain. I also appreciated how Randy always replied to e-mails or returned phone calls in a timely manner. (I encountered many vendors who did not.) That reduced planning stress and gave us the feeling he valued our business. And Randy is a really nice guy to work with. Several people said, “Your photographer is so sweet!” We highly recommend him.

bride and bridesmaids. He was professional, courteous, and fun the entire time. He skillfully struck a delicate balance between unobtrusively capturing candid, natural moments and making sure we also had plenty of carefully framed and posed group shots. During the photography session I was most impressed with Randy’s flexibility and quick adaptation to changing circumstances. We were getting ready in a hotel with multiple unique backdrops in the public lobby and attached restaurant, and Randy took the lead on working smoothly with hotel staff to enable us to get the photos we wanted in these locations while being respectful of the hotel’s other guests. This freed up the wedding party to relax and enjoy the moment without worrying excessively about logistics. When our original plan for outdoor photos was limited due to the weather, Randy was able to adjust on the fly with no stress at all. He helped us to vet other possible locations with his wealth of experience in Boston while keeping the atmosphere light and anxiety-free. When we found a new indoor location, Randy made up for lost time and captured an excellent set of photos combining serious and fun aesthetics. We were lucky to have him on our photography team; he was a pleasure to work with in the moment and we are delighted with the final photos.

d booked our original photographer a year out, so you can imagine we were quite stressed about the prospect of working with someone new. From the first time we met Randy, we knew that we were in excellent hands. Randy is incredibly skilled at finding the perfect look, lighting, and feel for your photos. Our wedding was in the heart of Boston with a vintage/boutique feel to it, and our photos could not be more beautiful and romantic. Randy is very organized and will ensure he is up to speed on all of the details and logistics of the day. He even went out of his way to meet with us in the days before our wedding to ensure we had a gameplan of places to go for all the various photo ops, especially in the event of rain. The day of the wedding, Randy arrived early and made sure we stayed on track throughout the day. One thing that my husband and I both really appreciated about Randy is his calm demeanor. The day of the wedding is always stressful, but Randy never loses his cool and really put us at ease that everything would be beautiful. We absolutely loved working with Randy and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Randy for giving us gorgeous shots from our day that we'll cherish forever! Love, Laura and George

arranging details and capturing special moments. My husband and I met with him a few weeks before the wedding and spent an hour chatting about our vision, 'must-have photos', and details around the big day. Randy arrived promptly on time and delivered above and beyond with everything we talked about! He is the definition of professional and I simply cannot stop going through all of my photos re-living my favorite day. As a bride, if you are debating between booking Randy or literally anyone else, there should be no contest, Randy is simply the BEST. Spend your money on a good photographer because these pictures tell a beautiful story that will last forever. THANK YOU RANDY!

were happy. There was a great mix of formal and candid shots, and the locations that he chose were phenomenal. He had never shot our venue before and went the extra mile to tour the venue and pick out which spots so were weren't wasting time driving around looking for places to shoot. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly reccomend Randy to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

oncise timeline for us. On the wedding day, Randy's calm, relaxed demeanor helped make the whole day smooth and stress-free. We had a large wedding party and family that we wanted various photos with and Randy was able to get all of the shots that we wanted very efficiently. We also did not do a first look, so the majority of our photos were taken between our ceremony and our reception. Even with this limited time frame, we were still able to make it to our cocktail hour, which was my goal! Randy, along with his second photographer Wayne (who was also extremely friendly and professional!) took some really creative and beautiful photos of us at various places at our venue. The results so far have been AMAZING and I cannot wait to see the whole album. Would highly recommend!!!

at he was a perfect fit for our wedding day. Randy helped plan a perfect timeline and made sure that we took the pictures that were important to us throughout the night. The pictures came out amazing and we wouldn't change a single thing! Thanks again Randy!!
