Clay! Wow! He is such a great guy and photographer. He was professional, kind, and made our wedding day so fun. He captured every detail from start to finish. He took so many photos of every part of the wedding day (getting ready, church ceremony, Statehouse reception, dancing the night away). We were so excited to finally get our photos back and relive the day!
Clay was AMAZING. So funny and personable, and also a complete professional. He made my (now) husband and I so comfortable on our wedding day and captured the most BEAUTIFUL pictures. He is a magician and I would recommend him to anyone.
Clay was insanely nice and easy to work with. He really took to time to understand what was important to us. The pictures were absolutely stunning, about to hang a bunch around the house! We couldn’t be happier with the results!
Any questions?
Clay did an incredible job capturing the magic of our wedding day! He captured every little detail and gave us many frame worthy pictures!
Clay and his team are AWESOME!!! The best in the business. Our planner recommended him to us and we clicked with him immediately on our intro call. He came out to Chicago for just a few hours to take our engagement photos in our apartment and it was so great. He captured the vibe of our place and relationship personally. He was great to work with through our whole engagement. He worked seamlessly with us and our planner and was thoughtful, organized, friendly, and helpful. The wedding day was a dream. Picture taking was a breeze, he gave us plenty of breaks and was very kind and fun. His energy was great. The photos are amazing. We will cherish them forever. Most importantly, he became a dear friend of ours during this process. He and my fiance clicked immediately. We are so lucky to be Clay’s clients and friends!!
Clay was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was responsive and communicative throughout the planning process. On the day of, he put our minds at ease and did an amazing job. We had multiple people in our wedding party comment on how great he was! I would absolutely recommend booking Clay.
Clay was fantastic in every way! Amazing during planning and showed up on wedding day and knew what to do and when to do it. He made my husband and I look like models, even though we are nowhere close! I’d recommend him to anyone.
Clay is an absolute gem of a wedding photographer! From the moment we met him, his warm, personable, and kind nature put us at ease. He went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable, even those of us who were nervous about being in front of the camera. His artistic eye is unmatched—every single photo he took looked like it belonged in a high-end wedding magazine.
Clay has a way of turning what could be a stressful experience into something fun and effortless. He guided us with such ease and professionalism that we were able to relax and truly enjoy the moment. If you’re looking for a photographer who combines incredible talent with a kind and calming presence, Clay is your guy. We couldn’t be happier with our photos or our experience with him. Highly recommend!
Clay is absolutely amazing! He did our engagement session and our wedding and the photos turned out PERFECTLY! | seriously have trouble finding one I don't like. He is so sweet and nice, us and our guests really loved him on our wedding day. He made everything so fun and carefree, and it showed in our photos!
Overall we had an excellent experience and definitely recommend him!
Clay did such an outstanding job with our wedding photos. Not only were our photos beautiful, but he took care to capture some amazing candid shots that we wouldn't have seen the day of. He did a fantastic job making us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and his energy/creativity were a joy to get to see on our engagement/wedding day as well as after the fact when we got to see our gallery.
I had never gotten professional photos done before our engagement session but Clay did such a great job working with us to get the perfect shots. All of the photos he took were gorgeous. The wedding photos were so special because he got every key moment and all the candid things that we didn't get to see at the time. Going through our gallery was a truly magical experience. We're so grateful we found him!
10/10 would recommend : ). Clay has a fantastic eye for framing photos and a true gift at capturing special moments. He somehow made our beautiful venue and flowers look even better through his lens. He made me feel comfortable in front of a camera (I'm someone who feels awkward and dreads being the center of attention) and he brought instant calm to my husband when they first met. He has an amazing energy and welcomed me to my wedding day when I first arrived! A very special moment when I was feeling stressed. He gave helpful suggestions and had great ideas for posed photos that still felt genuine and like us. He captured candids, more traditional wedding photos with artistic flare, was somehow able to get multiple angles of the ceremony by himself, he has fun while working, and guests were impressed with him as well! We can't imagine our day without him. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Everyone loves the photos and we will cherish them always! So happy Clay helped us celebrate our special day. What a blessing to have him there! His TRUE gift for photography will help us remember our day with friends and family forever. Thanks Clay!
Clay made our wedding day so much fun! Not only did he and his team capture every special moment beautifully, but their energy and creativity made the entire experience a blast. They made us laugh, feel comfortable, and brought out our personalities in every shot. If you want a photographer who makes the whole experience fun and delivers absolutely stunning photos, Red Gallery is the one!
Red Gallery, Clay, Kristen made they day for us, and honestly I cant even explain how incredible they were with our wedding. From the prices to the amount of hard work they put in the entire day. I dont think there is a better Photographer out there.
We are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos! They are breathtakingly beautiful. Clay did an amazing job capturing candid moments and carefully curated shots. We also love his editing style — a perfect mix of art, elegance, whimsy and authenticity.
Clay brings his energy and creativity to the day! Thank you for capturing our special day.
Clay was incredible to work with! Starting from our engagement shoot, you could tell he was so passionate about his work. He was calm, funny, and so kind during our entire weekend of wedding events! He did a great job coordinating group photos with all the chaos that an Indian wedding comes with! He also did an awesome job with capturing our dog! The quality of the images we have received from him are timeless and he truly captures the emotions of the day. I would recommend Red Gallery Photography over and over again for your events!
We worked with Clay from Red Gallery for our wedding photos and had a great experience. My wife and I weren't used to having our photos taken and were a little nervous coming into the experience. But Clay's fun/goofy approach to the photo sessions put us at ease right away. It was also immediately clear that Clay had a strong sense of creative direction with the photos which allowed us to relax and just kind of go with the flow with Clay's directions. During the day of the wedding, Clay was great about checking all of the photo boxes but keeping the show rolling, which was much appreciated. Whether it was getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, or candids, Clay always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, but also was never a burden. And the most important part, we are very happy with the photos from the event!
We were extremely lucky and happy to find Clay and Red Gallery and were very satisfied with the end results!
Clay was an exceptional photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. He has a remarkable ability to make you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera, which resulted in stunning and authentic photos. His attention to detail and creativity truly captured the essence of our special moments. We highly recommend Clay for anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer!
Incredible! Clay is a wonderful human to know and work with. He is extremely talented in his work! He made my husband and I feel comfortable during our engagement shoot, preparing us for all the cameras on the big day. He has the most perfect— timeless, edit. I know we will cherish these photos the rest of our lives! We are so grateful to have worked with Clay and highly recommend any and all couples to make the same, great decision and have him as your photographer. We were gifted with so many amazing photos from our special day. We cannot wait to continue displaying them all over our home. Thank you clay for being the absolute best!!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with the exceptionally talented photographer, Clay, and I cannot express how incredibly sweet, calming, kind, and thoughtful he is. His talent behind the lens is matched only by his responsiveness, friendliness, and comforting presence. The photos he captured were nothing short of amazing, leaving me genuinely thrilled. He was so incredibly kind with managing my two small dogs (my pup-sitter fell through and I had to keep them with me in the hotel room) and capturing the sweetest photos of me with them. To top it off, his work was so impressive that we even landed a feature in Diamond Cellar Magazine's Holiday/Winter 2023 edition, thanks to the stunning images he crafted. Clay is not just a remarkable photographer but also a truly amazing person. I can't thank him enough for making the entire experience so incredible. HIGHLY recommend booking the sweetest, most talented guy. I’ll be booking with him for all future photography needs. :)
We can’t thank Clay and his team for capturing our wedding. Clay’s personality and way he worked that day fit Brett and I so perfectly, it helped make the day fun and seamless. We are so appreciative of all of the beautiful and important moments he captured. Thank you Red Gallery for being part of our day!
Such a great experience! We booked Clay for our engagement photos and wedding day photography. We wanted photos that captured the moment and didn’t feel too “posed,” and Clay’s style perfectly matched that. We have so many great photos from the wedding day that captured precious candid moments! We recommend anyone looking for a wedding photographer to go with Clay and Red Gallery Photography :)
Clay was awesome to work with. I loved his work from the start, but to see our pictures come to life was amazing. He did our engagement photos and wedding photos and we could not be happier. He was professional, easy to work with, friendly and he has a great eye. Thanks again for everything!
Clay has been shooting our family for many years! I recently got married and didn’t think twice about who our wedding photographer should be. Clay is truly the best in the industry. He brings such high energy and will do just about anything for the perfect shot. We are so thankful to have had Clay shoot our wedding! I highly recommend him!!!
Clay was excellent and came through for us when we booked and planned our wedding as a spur of the moment decision after several years of engagement. Even on short notice, we got some amazing photos and would recommend Red Gallery Photography-there is a reason they are so busy-pictures turned out wonderful despite the gloomy weather.
To say Clay is the absolute BEST photographer is an understatement! He is a master at his craft and in my opinion, there is no one better suited than Clay to document your wedding day and/or engagement. I met Clay and Lisa in 2004 at my sisters wedding (they were the photographers) and since that date my family and myself have always used them for our weddings/engagements and a “sister shoot” we gifted to our parents. Clay provides clear direction, stays up to date with latest “fads” and always adds his own artistic touch to each session. His personality is out of this world and he always finds a way to make everyone comfortable and can light up a room with his laughter! He is fun, realisbke, creative, smart, honest and all around the BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN ALL OF OHIO AND BEYOND! If you are going back and forth on finding a photographer, look no further because CLAY with Red Gallery photography is it! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Hiring Clay was the best decision we made through the whole wedding process! So easy and fun to work with for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. Our photos turned out amazing, highlighted every moment of our special day!
We LOVED Clay!
He is extremely creative and extremely kind! His energy is very relaxed. He was very flexible and great about working with any ideas we had but I mostly let his creativity shine. My guests and parents were pleased with him too. BUT what I LOVED the most is he was SO sweet and patient with my flower girl. She has Down syndrome and I gifted her a toy digital camera and he let her stand there right with him to take pictures.
Thank you RGP you were absolutely amazing!
Anyone who is getting married in the Columbus area needs to hire Clay as their photographer. He is incredibly hard worker, knows exactly how to pose you so the pictures look amazing and is incredibly kind and fun to work with. He was very knowledgable about the ceremony/reception area and made wonderful recommendations on were the photos should be taken too.
This is Shannon Goode of Goode Beauty LLC. I wanted to take a moment to let you in on some of the reasons we just loveeee Clay with Red Gallery!
Clay's attention to detail is impeccable. On top of that, he is really fun, amazing and you are going to want him to be a part of every milestone. Starting with your engagement and wedding, trusting Clay to work his magic is one of the best decisions you can make.
Our brides (and of course their bridal parties) have always loved him and his work!
Highly recommended, you are going to love every minute!
We hired Clay and his team from Red Gallery for our November wedding and it was the best decision we made. Clay is SUPER responsive, so fun to work with and captured our day so perfectly! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone! We received all our photos in a very timely and prompt manner and they came out absolutely beautiful! If you are looking to hire Red Gallery, you will be making one of the best decisions for your special day! We cannot thank Clay and his team enough!
I couldn't be any happier with how our wedding photos came out!! They look straight out of a magazine!! Clay is AMAZING and was so much fun to have around throughout the day. My family and guest couldn't stop taking about how awesome he was! He captured every moment and then some!! If you're looking for someone, Clay is your guy, you won't regret it!!!!
Book Red Gallery Photography now!
Working with Clay was such a joy - he was a genuine part of what made our wedding day the best it could be.
He brings such positive and creative energies AND his work is fantastic.
Clay and his team were incredible! They did everything we asked and more! We are waiting on the edge of our seats to see our photos!!!!
Lisa was so amazing from our engagement session to our wedding day! Every time something happened at our wedding I saw their team right capturing the moment! They were so kind and patient with our giant bridal party and and families. If I could give 10/5 stars I would!
WOW! Clay was simply the BEST. He made getting our wedding pictures so easy! Plus our wedding was in January so he got our photos done quickly outside! He was great! So easy to work with. Everything we could want and more. Book him, and do it now!
Believe me when I say my husband is not the most photogenic person. However, Clay has a way of working with people. Since it was our first time getting photographed, we were very nervous. Clay walked us through all the poses patiently and made us look so put together. I had actually forgotten my flowers and lipstick at home so was quite nervous about chapped lips in the pics but Clay's excellent editing made me look beautiful and natural -- exactly what I was going for. I would recommend Clay 12/10. I'm so glad Clay photographed our special day. I will always have this beautiful day to look back on.
Our pictures were amazing. We get compliments all the time on how great our pictures are. Also Clay is one of the nicest people ever. Definitely book them for your wedding.
Clay and Lisa were both amazing! Clay took so many photos I never would of thought about and they were all beautiful. He made sure everyone was comfortable the whole day, as we are awkward individuals. I would and will recommend them over and over again!
Clay was absolutely fabulous! Honestly, look no further if you’re in need of a photographer in Columbus. He is so easy to work with, genuinely loves what he does, and takes incredible photos!!! We used Red Gallery got our engagement shoot and wedding back in April and our friends and family still have not stopped talking about how amazing the photos are!!! Cannot recommend them enough! Would give 8 stars if I could. Thank you so much for everything, guys!!
Lisa and Clay at Red Gallery Photography were by far the most accommodating vendor we worked with throughout the Covid-19 wedding rescheduling process. They were so understanding, empathetic and kind at all times! We decided to have a small ceremony with immediate family only in August 2020, and postpone our large reception to May 2021. Red Gallery Photography was there with us for BOTH events and took AMAZING pictures. So incredibly generous!!! Lisa is an amazingly talented photographer. Our pictures from our small ceremony exceeded expectations, and we can’t wait to see the photos from our reception! Would absolutely recommend Lisa and Clay to everyone!
I had a pandemic wedding, so you can imagine all the compromises and extra stressors :x, but Clay was so incredible! He made the day feel a lot easier and smoother just by his demeanor and personality, he was so calm, cool & collected. My husband and I are a bit nontraditional and he honed in our personalities super quickly and captured our day true to our personalities. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Not to mention, he is extremely talented- I can't stress enough how blown away by our portfolio we were. Clay's a gem and one-of-a-kind.
Clay was beyond amazing at my wedding in capturing all my favorite moments. He was professional, friendly, and just a pleasure to work with. I couldn’t be more thrilled with my wedding photos, and it was so difficult to pick my favorites when picking which photos to display in my home... I want to frame all of them. Thanks so much Red Gallery Photography, I almost want to get married again just so I can hire you one more time! (Ha!).
We had the pleasure of working with Lisa on our wedding day and not only is she a joy to shoot with but the photos turned out incredible! Lisa worked with us and was flexible over the past year as we cancelled and rescheduled our wedding date due to Covid several times. Her calm but present demeanor helped us feel at ease on the day of and her experience as a photographer shows! We could not be happier with the photos we have of our wedding and the variety of shots she took. Would highly recommend Red Gallery for your special day!
Clay at Red Gallery Photography did the most amazing job with our engagement photos and our wedding! My husband doesn't *love* getting his picture taken and I'm used to being behind a camera, so let's just say we're not the easiest subjects. :) Clay put us COMPLETELY at ease and made everything completely wonderful. He did a great job of suggesting a few poses but not making them look posed at all, and above all captured us looking like ourselves. One of the key things I'm picky about with photos is the lighting, and one of the biggest takeaways from Red Gallery is that they truly work their magic with lighting. It's almost like there's a magic golden light to all of their photos, without it looking overdone or distracting from the subjects. The photo process during our wedding day was efficient while remaining fun, and he made sure to really get all of the photos I was wanting. I've been a part of weddings before where photographers have made it about their own agenda, and that's so not the case with Red Gallery! Clay is so sweet and wants to capture your personality, and we were so grateful. They provide you with a USB with all of your files, as well as a preview on Facebook. Clay could not have been kinder and we truly felt like we had gained a friend. The photos were an absolute gift we will treasure our whole lives, and we couldn't recommend them enough!
Wonderful people AMAZING photos! We couldn’t be happier with the way our photos came out. Great communication and turnaround! They made my wedding photo dreams come true!
Loved working with them, we had Lisa and she was wonderful!
Clay and Lisa were absolutely amazing and captured our special day perfectly! We had to postpone our wedding three different times due to COVID, and ended up having a small intimate wedding with just our family in Columbus. Lisa was so quick to respond to my initial inquiry and took the time to answer any questions I had. On the day of, Clay ended up coming as well to help shoot our wedding and that was just an amazing added bonus! Their kindness and stunning work is something we will cherish forever! Thank you both again so much!
Lisa is absolutely fantastic! She is so sweet and makes everyone feel super comfortable, so important for photos! Both our engagement photos and our wedding photos turned out so amazing, I have trouble picking favorites to print! She scouted out our first look location the week before our wedding to make sure it was perfect. She captured such beautiful and artistic shots of our day! I’m so grateful to have these memories to look back on forever, thank you Lisa!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2020
Aw thank you so much Christine! I loved working with you, Zach, and your families!
I cannot give enough praise to Red Gallery Photography! From our engagement photos to the pictures from the big day; everything was perfect. Both the main photographer and secondary photographer were professional and paid attention to every little detail. I simply cannot reccommend them enough.
Seeing the photos a few weeks after the wedding just reinforced this belief even more. Truly a great team!
Response from the Vendor on 10/12/2020
Thank you so much Zach! It was an honor to photograph your wedding. :)
Clay and Lisa were an amazing team to have for our wedding day! They both care so much about the couple, and wanting to capture moments that are truly you. My husband and I both were a little awkward with posed photos, thankfully they convinced us to try an engagement shoot (which is so so so helpful), and then coached us every step of the way. I have to say though, my favorite pictures are the ones Clay and Lisa captured without my knowing, like a hug from a best friends and praying with my mom. Long story short, they are wonderful to work with and you won't regret choosing them!
AMAZING! My husband and I can't say enough about Clay and Lisa. They are two of the most-hardworking and easy-to-work-with people. Not only is their work ethic amazing, their creativity and attention to detail are out of this world. I am so thankful that my husband and I made the decision to hire Clay and Lisa as our wedding photographers. We highly recommend them!
Clay was amazing! I had multiple people come up to me during the wedding to say how great Clay was. He was getting so many shots! His work is beautiful and he definitely listened to the types of shots me and my husband desired. I'm so glad we worked with Clay for our wedding.
We can't say enough good things about Clay and Lisa with Red Gallery Photography. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are also very professional, kind and wonderful to work with! Throughout the entire planning process Clay was very helpful and offered his expertise along the way. We first met during our engagement photos and he made my husband and I feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. He has a very artistic eye, and what we saw as just an ordinary spot, Clay turned into a beautiful moment captured by his camera. On our wedding day his attention to detail was next level, and we are so thankful he captured so many special moments. He has a phenomenal way of making posed photos look natural and the candid moments he captured look like pieces of art. He is organized, respectful and really felt like part of the family on our wedding day. There are so many details to think about when planning a wedding, so do yourself a favor and work with Clay at Red Gallery - he will make your life easier, funnier and will capture all of the beautiful moments along the way!
My husband and I felt the most important aspect of our wedding was the photography. We were concerned about getting the right photographer to help capture our most important moments. Planning to meet Clay for the first time, we had been extremely anxious and stressed. Upon meeting him, we instantly relaxed and knew we had found the perfect match. Clay and Lisa were a joy to work with. Not only did they help us live in the moment and enjoy the celebrating, they captured every little detail perfectly. We didn’t just get moments, we got details of the weather, venue, decor- you name it- that were so special to us. There is something so unique about the artistry of their work. It is truly unmatched. Their effervescent, high-spirited, and kind hearted nature are just the icing on the cake. We feel so blessed to have found them and are beyond grateful for all they’ve done for us. It just doesn’t get any better than Red Gallery Photography.
In looking for a photographer we had a few requests (or should I say obstacles) in mind. Both of our venues were, beautiful, however the lighting wasn't the easiest...and both of us had, well, "issues" with posed photos. We were looking for someone who was a master at his/her craft and could shoot candids well, and make posed photos FEEL like candids. Clay came highly recommended from a friend and he far exceeded our expectations. He was one of the most calm/kind humans on possibly the best, and most stressful, day. He was an absolute joy to work with and knew exactly what would work best for US. He listened, and cared. When we received our photos we were amazed at a) just how many there were and b) how each one was better than the last (which didn't even seem possible). If you are a bride wanting to remember your big day in the best way possible, Clay is definitely the way to go! Hiring Clay allowed me to enjoy my wedding knowing that he was able to capture all of the most important moments for us to have and look back on forever!
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Red Gallery. Clay was so amazing- he knows all the best locations, he was great at styling his shots and making sure everyone was where they needed to be. He captured every photo I asked for and more on our wedding day. My husband and I are so thrilled with our photos- Clay is a master at what he does and the photos definitely reflect that. We felt very comfortable with him and would recommend Red Gallery Photography 100 times over!
As a shy introvert, I've always hated taking photos for as long as I can remember, but with Clay that was never an issue. Clay is truly the best photographer you could hope to have to capture any special moments in your life! He is incredibly kind and makes you feel incredibly at ease, not to mention he is incredibly talented! He took the most beautiful photos of our wedding day. Our family and friends have not stopped commenting how amazing our photos turned out and everyone is requesting copies. We cannot recommend Clay enough, he's the best!
Clay and Lisa were so fun to work with, and the photos are absolutely gorgeous!! We’ll cherish them forever :)
Clay and Lisa are the dream team to have on your big day. From our first meeting they were so professional and fun. Their personalities make you feel so comfortable and they keep your pictures on schedule so you can still enjoy every minute celebrating with family and friends! I love their photography style and the pictures were more perfect than I could have ever imagined!! Thank you so much!!!
I can't even begin to describe how wonderful Clay and Lisa were on our big day and in the entire process leading up to the wedding. From our very first meeting, we loved Clay's incredible photos and his style and approach for the wedding day. We had the best time taking our engagement pictures. Clay made us feel so comfortable and made taking the pictures fun. He spent hours with us to get beautiful sunset shots and truly stunning pictures. Clay and Lisa were an absolute joy to work with on the wedding day. They captured every moment of our day so perfectly and went above and beyond. I even said goodbye to Clay at his scheduled departure time and then came back into the room an hour later to find him still taking pictures of family members and all of our guests to make sure he captured every detail. He didn't just meet, but exceeded all of our expectations. Our pictures from the wedding are breathtaking and perfectly captured the essence of our day. I cannot recommend Red Gallery Photography enough. Clay and Lisa are absolutely wonderful, and I would give them one hundred stars if I could!
Talented, professional, and personable! Clay shot both my engagement and wedding photos. Having never participated in a photography session, my husband and I were a bit nervous. Clay helped ease any of our anxieties and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We had a courthouse elopement, and Clay not only provided us with photos we will treasure for a lifetime, but even volunteered ideas to help further make our elopement special. I highly recommend Red Gallery Photography. We look forward for our next excuse to book!
Clay’s talent is out of this world! His creative vision is timeless. He was a true professional through our whole process and captured all our special moments perfectly!
Clay did an amazing job. He was so fun to work with. He had so many creative ideas that made both our engagement and wedding photos look fantastic. If you're looking for amazing photographs, creative ideas and someone fun to work you then I'd highly recommend Clay and Red Gallery Photography.
Clay is awesome! Not only did he capture our wedding and it’s details perfectly, but he made me and my now husband very comfortable in front of the camera (we’re not usually big on photographs). He is warm and welcoming and his style reflects this with relaxed, beautiful photos that aren’t staged and feel effortless. Highly recommend him!!!!
Clay was amazing and easy to work with. I appreciate his quick responses to my questions. We loved that we got to see a sample of the wedding photos within a couple weeks of the wedding. His work is beautiful in and of itself. I got all the shots I asked for plus ones I didn't think of, but am very thankful I now have.
By far our favorite wedding vendor, we can't say enough amazing things about Red Gallery Photography. Clay and Lisa captured every single detail of our wedding day beautifully. We had such a long day and they were so kind and patient and wonderful with our bridal party and crazy family and hectic schedule throughout all of it! They are so much fun to work and you can tell they love what they do because we felt so comfortable with them and their photos are incredible in quality. They are truly artists and we wouldn't have wanted anyone else with us on our wedding day!
We are so thankful for the time that Clay has put into our photos. You can feel his excitement and pride in his work. He is really good at capturing the natural and posed photos. He is very fun to work with and easy to communicate to. He even was able to work with us on price and certain things we wanted to have with our photos. He is very available to oblige to your requests (within reason I’m sure). He is very reachable when you need to ask a question or have a request. Our engagement photos came back to us in less than three weeks. I’m sure that time frame varies, but all my friends got their photos back in six weeks or more. Clay is very prompt and very accessible to our needs. Thank you Clay for all your hard work. The edits and photos are natural and very light and happy. We love your style and availability to all our questions and requests!
Clay was awesome! Our engagement photos were nothing short of beautiful. Our wedding photos were also incredible and exactly what we had hoped for and much more! He really captured the entire wedding beautifully and made sure that we had time to get in a ton of great shots, as we chose to take photos before the ceremony. Everyone has raved about his work! His creative genius will be admired by our family for years to come.
Clay and team at Red Gallery Photography far surpassed our expectations and wildest dreams with our wedding photos! We could not recommend him more, his professionalism, enthusiasm and craft are otherworldly. He captured our day with absolute perfection!
After some initial communication woes, we are happy to report that Clay has gone above and beyond to ensure that we were made whole.
As originally reported, Clay was fantastic to work with on the day of our wedding and was a much needed calming influence in the midst of all the craziness. We could not be happier with how the pictures turned out and the moments captured; we will remember our wedding day fondly for years to come!
We are excited to work with Clay and Red Gallery again this summer when we welcome our daughter into our family this June!
Highly recommend working with this wonderful team!
I cannot say anything other than “Clay is the best photographer ever”! He captured our Pre Wedding Picture at Hocking Hills and Westerville perfectly. All the pictures turned out to be exactly what I want. Clay also took pictures for our wedding day last month. I would say, you will regret if you do not hire him as your photographer. Not only getting all of the beautiful pictures, but also getting a wonderful experiences. Clay is not only helpful, but he is also very polite, patient, talented,outgoing, artistic, organized, and many more to say. He was so helpful on the wedding day and helped to arrange for the group picture etc. He will also tell you what kind of pose that is great and give you direction. I cannot wait to see my full wedding day pictures!
Throughout the whole process, Red Gallery was outstanding! I mainly worked with Clay and his personality alone would make me want to book him again. Apart from being fun and super positive, he showed up on time and was professional and accommodating. Prior to the wedding, he was responsive and totally got our vibe and vision. On the big day, he was clear with direction and an absolute pleasure to work with. The wedding party all commented on how great he was, and I completely agreed.
Where do I begin? Clay is the PERFECT photographer! I found his page on Instagram and instantly fell in love, and booked him a few days later for my big day! Clay kept in contact, asked questions and was flexible with my crazy schedule when needing shot lists and just to chat in general. I would recommend Red Gallery (and have been to all of my newly wed friends) on all aspects, planning, cost, packages, and especially the day of! I wasn't a crazy bride but the day of is hectic for anyone! Clay gave me an arrival time to begin shooting and went to work! He got every part of my day, and even when I thought he was crazy for wanting to shoot behind a Dairy Queen near my house the pictures turned out AMAZING! Again, I can't say enough about Clay and Red Gallery.
We found Clay on The Knot and fell in love with his photo galleries. We wanted photography that captured the day without being obtrusive, and that went beyond standard staged shots to really capture the personalities of the couple, the uniqueness of the venue, and the love shared by all of the participants. That is exactly what we got. I can't stop looking at the photos - they are absolutely gorgeous, and many of them have an artistic quality that would be compelling even if they did not feature my daughter and her husband. It was important to my daughter that photography (outside of the staged photos) did not intrude on the enjoyment of the moment, and Clay managed to capture lovely candid shots without being at all pushy or disruptive. The shots of the ceremony itself and of the bride and groom together after are absolutely stunning. The hardest part has been winnowing the field to a manageable number for the book and social media, because there are just so many wonderful pictures to choose from! I can truly say that Clay was a pleasure to work with and the pictures are everything I was hoping for and more.
You will not be disappointed if you choose Clay and Red Gallery Photography! He was such a joy and easy to work with from start to finish. He made us feel very comfortable throughout the crazy wedding planning and when it came to wedding day, he was on time, professional, very relaxed and very fun! He and Lisa did a wonderful job capturing all of the key moments (and more) of our wedding weekend and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We would choose Clay over and over again!
Clay & Lisa are phenomenal! Our photos turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and they did such a great job photographing every special moment of our day! They were so much fun to work with and were so patient throughout the day. We can’t thank Red Gallery Photography enough for giving us memories that will last forever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It was a top priority for us to invest in an outstanding photographer to capture the memories of our wedding day. I'm an event planner by trade and Type-A to a fault; I had spreadsheets and lists and felt overwhelmed with the number of photog choices in our area. We did our homework and we got it right by hiring Red Gallery Photography. We loved all our vendors, but having Clay and Lisa there to capture every emotion and moment of our wedding day, from silly to sweet, was the best decision we made. None of the other details matter if you don't have a seasoned professional to document the memories of such an important, anticipated day that flies by all too quickly.
The icing on the cake was their sincere passion and enthusiasm for wedding photography. I noticed that Clay repeatedly went the extra mile, not only for us, but because he was genuinely having fun - he enjoys his art, understands the gravity of his responsibility to a bride and groom, and takes the utmost pride in his work. They are immensely talented and also the nicest people with hearts of gold. They did more than just snap photos – they were the veterans of the wedding day: nerve calmers, bridal party wranglers, silliness appreciators, joy bringers - there wasn't a single moment when Clay and Lisa weren't smiling. They worked attentively behind the scenes and I barely noticed them during the whirlwind of the day but, looking back, they were a big part of my happy memories. It’s easy on your wedding day to get separated from each other and swept off by family and friends (which is the joy of it all really – everyone you love in the same place!) But I have to say, I’m really grateful for those little walks we took with Clay when he couldn’t resist the perfect sunset shot, to stand for a minute just the two of us, enjoying our day from a briefly quiet distance.
We are in awe of these photos that absolutely shine with the real story of the day; they didn’t miss an in-between moment. (And we’re trying to refrain from taking the narcissistic route and wallpapering our house in them!)
We are forever grateful!
I looked through SO many galleries and albums when I was choosing a photographer. I just kept hearing people in my ear say, "The photographer is the most important person you will hire." Just like marrying the right person, I wanted photos that would last a lifetime. Clay at Red Gallery is a creative genius, who works tirelessly. He has amazing perspective, and will deliver you the photos, settings, and angles you couldn't plan on your own. He can do traditional, or editorial. He is professional, easy to work with, and best of all, truly loves what he does. I couldn't be happier with my choice!
HE IS THE BEST!!We are so happy we found Clay! He is high energy in the best way ever! He some how can be both calm and in a hurry, all at once. He understands that pictures should capture a day to its fullest. I can’t believe the moments he was able to capture! He even stopped our limo because he saw a perfect bush he wanted us to take a photo in front of. His wife helped him capture the details. They work great together! He met with us twice before the wedding to go over the day to make sure he knew what the plan was before going into. He was so professional and responsive yet felt like a friend!
Clay and his wife did an amazing job!
I am so glad I choose Clay as the photographer to capture the special moments of our wedding day. Our wedding photos by far exceeded my expectations. Clay was professional, prompt, well-prepared, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone look for a wedding photographer.
