We had the pleasure of working with Tony for both our engagement shoot and a 5-hour wedding package. His photography is simply stunning—elevated, artsy, and full of emotion. The final images were beyond beautiful and captured the day perfectly--he also gave us every photo in Black & White for no extra charge! Tony went above and beyond, even scouting locations with us beforehand to make the most of our time.
While Tony can come across as a bit scattered and his communication style might feel a little quirky at times, the quality of his work is absolutely worth it! He has a strong artistic vision and is great at positioning you for the best shots, even if it takes a little patience. He delivered our edited photos in record time (2 weeks!), and the results were truly impressive—comparable to photographers who charge 3-5x more. Several wedding guests have asked us something along the lines of, "Who was your photographer?! EVERY photo looks like it could be in a magazine!" And it's true! There's not a single dud amongst the hundreds of photos!
Tony is a kind, caring, and talented artist, and we're so happy with the beautiful memories he created for us!
I had the pleasure of working with Tony for my special day and it was an experience like no other. I am very rational and logical so I desperately needed the creativity that Tony brought to capture the emotional side of the wedding. I am in operations and I can plan on people being in places with everything they need but I'm bad at artistic expression. Tony's approach to photography was refreshing, capturing the most candid and extraordinary moments that other photographers might have overlooked.
Throughout the day Tony brought energy and enthusiasm despite some of our wedding party (groomsmen I'm looking at you) not being able to follow simple directions of who was needed at that moment. Tony maintained his professionalism and attention to detail ensuring our moments were beautifully documented.
I highly recommend Tony's services to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable wedding photography experience.
Tony is the ONLY choice to make for your special day. Creative, thorough, and discreet. The perfect combination to yield memorable wedding photos. He doesn’t miss a beat and captures literally every detail. We could not have been more pleased. Just love his work!!
Tony Gallagher was such an incredible hardworking and creative photographer! we are so fortunate we got to work with him to capture the most special day of our lives (so far!)! Thank you, Tony !! If there were a galaxy of stars instead of just 5, I'd give them all to you and your skills!
Tony was our first choice for photography on our big day and it turned out to be the best one we would make! Creating a story and true art though photos was our highest priority and Tony and Eunice delivered something beyond our wildest dreams. His art form is unique and raw. The emotion of our moments really came through and you can see the rawness and beauty of the memory. His use of light and dark is truly an art and really make your photos pop. He and Eunice were able to direct us to create every shot and we felt completely comfortable with their kind of energy. All of our family and friends are stunned by our photos are and say that they look like they are from a magazine. He really captured both the beautiful venue and us in every shot. We couldn’t be happier with our photos! Thank you so much Tony and Eunice!!!
Tony was incredible! We couldn’t be happier with the photos from our wedding. Him and his assistant (Eunice) hit every single shot on our shot list and got it done quickly. We actually had extra time to take more photos that we weren’t expecting. We also had a one year old in our photos and Tony was fantastic at getting him to look at the camera and smile. I couldn’t recommend booking him enough. He gets so much emotion out of his shots, you will not be disappointed.
Tony did a fantastic job shooting our wedding! He is definitely a perfectionist and wants to make sure every photo is perfect. He took incredible formal and candid shots as well as beautiful detail shots of our cake, rings, flowers, etc…Thank you, Tony, for capturing incredible memories!
I can’t say enough great things about Tony. His communication pre and post wedding was very good. But most importantly, he and Eunice were amazing on the day of. They both were very professional, kept everyone on target, and within a short time after the wedding he sent us these amazing photos. We haven’t stopped looking at them. We appreciate Tony so much and would use him again in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend him to photograph your wedding.
Tony was amazing!! The pictures he took of us and of the Wedding were beautiful! He captured everything we hoped he would and was able to make adjustments when unexpected delays happened. He also met us downtown after the wedding to capture some amazing photos. We were so pleased with his work and would highly recommend him!
I could not be happier with how these pictures turned out! I had found some pictures on Pinterest that Tony was very willing recreate with us. I really appreciated his willingness and professionalism in working through the few concerns I had as well.
Tony is OUTSTANDING! As an inexperienced couple, he coached us through the process and gave us great details as to what we should expect of him and what he expected of us- which was basically just enjoying our wedding day and letting him do the rest. We got married on the coldest day of winter in Estes Park (-2° F) and he didn’t even mention the cold. His professionalism and skill is unmatched and his photos were full of emotion, memory, and life. We would recommend him ten fold!
Tony is amazing. He's super friendly and very professional. He showed up early on the day of our wedding, and started snapping photos the second he saw us approaching. He made us feel very comfortable the entire time. The pictures he took were better than we could have hoped, and he got them to us very quickly. I would recommend Tony to anyone.
The photos speak for themselves! Stunning! Tony has an artists eye and his creativity really captured our day! He responded immediately to my emails and was very easy to work with. Thank you so much!
What more can be said other than the perfect wedding photographer?! It was awesome seeing him in action and getting into his zone. He was excellent with crowd control and getting people when and where they needed to be! High energy, prompt, and great to be around!
Tony and his crew were fantastic. They came to our wedding full of energy and quickly assessed the site for lighting and photo spots. We got great shots of us, our guests and the ceremony. Tony was easy to work with. The pictures are amazing!!! You will not be disappointed. He is a true professional.
We loved having Tony as our photographer for our wedding day. He worked with us in advance on the package, price, and locations for photography. He captured some truly unique photos of us, our family, and friends on our wedding day. He was high energy throughout, taking 100s of photos throughout the day.
I chose Tony because he was the only photographer I was seeing with some variety of folkx in his photos and it was nice to see that diversity to him didn't just mean from boho-chic to cowboy style weddings. I made a list of photos to take but come our wedding day, it was chilly and I wanted to scrap the list to go back inside (Mountain wedding, it had snowed the day before.) He convinced me that I made the list for a reason and really stuck to it to finish and I'm really grateful he did and you can't even tell we were cold in the photos.
We had an absolutely awesome experience with Tony! My husband and I were looking for photos across the Denver landscape, but had no idea where to go. Tony took us to multiple locations and truly had a vision for us. He was extremely creative and made both of us feel very relaxed. I would highly recommend anyone looking for professional photos to reach out to Tony
Tony and his team were amazing, they stuck it out during the crazy snowfall we got during the ceremony and were super helpful throughout the day. They captured all the shots on my shot list and more! We appreciated their dedication and hard work to capture our special day.
As a fellow wedding "friendor" I couldn't recommend Tony enough! He is not only professional, accommodating and friendly, but he goes above and beyond to take care of his couples. He does a beautiful job capturing the joy and love throughout the wedding day! Look no further, Tony is your guy!
Tony shot our engagement photos just under two weeks ago, and we already have the photos back to us! His eye for photography is undeniable, as the photos came out absolutely stunning! We had to slip our scheduled photo day at the last minute, but Tony was flexible and so so easy to work with. You can tell he is naturally great at what he does. The day of pictures Denver has some high winds and I was worried the pictures would show how cold I was, but Tony knew exactly how to capture the moment and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! We will be looking to hire Tony for our wedding next year!
Tony was a great choice to photograph our wedding. He was flexible, creative, and professional, and despite many changes to our original wedding plans, Tony hung in there with us and took some amazing photos. Although we had many covid-related limitations, Tony was the one who found the best location for our engagement shoot, and Tony and his amazing assistant got great results on our wedding day despite working with kids, a dog, and some scattered rain. Thank you Tony!
Tony is wonderful and I would highly recommend him as a wedding photographer. He documented our wedding day perfectly and took absolutely beautiful pictures. He was very easy to work with, communicated quickly and was able to be flexible with our many changes and last minute decisions due to the pandemic. He provided a template for a wedding day timeline, which was extremely helpful and suggested a stunning location for our engagement shoot. We had a preview of our photos very quickly and the full package in less time than promised. His assistant on the day of the wedding did a fabulous job too, she was organized and intuitive and knew exactly what we needed in the moment, even before we did.
Tony was a pleasure to work with for our big day! He was kind and super responsive from the very beginnings of our interactions. We discussed a photography plan that included some of our ideas, which required more than a little patience on his behalf, and then let him fly with his professional and artistic expertise. I trusted him which just made life easy. We absolutely love our photos! Tony was a vital part of making our wedding as special as it was!!!
Tony is fantastic to work with. The pictures that he and his assistant Julie captured are better than I could have imagined. He is flexible enough to do whatever we wanted for formal shots and creative enough to capture images we never considered. We had our ceremony outside followed by a tented reception at our property on the South Platte River. It was so important to us to capture the people and place we love most in the world and Tony managed this perfectly. The memories of or wonderful wedding day will last forever.
Fantastic! Tony did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. He captured the perfect moments. He and his partner were very kind and easy to work with throughout my special day. I highly recommend him!
Our photographer was easily the single most expensive piece of our wedding. We could not be happier with choosing and trusting Tony to fill the role. About 2 weeks after the wedding he had a lot of photos ready to look at and share with friends and family. A bit later all of the pictures were completed and we are quite content with the results. Tony was very professional throughout the entire process and never added any stress to our event. I would definitely recommend him!
Tony and his assistant Eunice did a wonderful job photographing our wedding.
They have a real eye for artistry and detail, and kept everyone relaxed and smiling through the formal photos. Tony is great at coaching people through poses and getting the best lighting.
Tony also got beautiful and unique candid and action shots of us and our guests, those are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
Tony also came up with a package that worked with our budget, his rates are very reasonable in comparison to other quotes I received. I highly recommend Tony and Eunice for any photo opportunities you have. I will certainly be contacting him for any future work!
Finding Tony was an absolute blessing!!!!! The photos he took for our wedding were exactly what we wanted. He was so fun to work with, and incredibly on top of his game. He was extremely organized, and had a set plan for our formal photos that allowed us to get all of the portraits we wanted with our two huge families as quickly as possible so we could go and enjoy our wedding. He captured the essence of our wedding so so beautifully. He went above and beyond to make sure our photos were exactly what we wanted. I couldn't be happier with how they came out. Thank you Tony!!!
Tony is an incredibly talented photographer and very professional. We are very happy with how the photos turned out! He did an amazing job capturing such an important day for us, and we definitely recommend him.
Tony was absolutely amazing from the day we met him to the day we received our pictures. He is a true professional in all aspects and the photographs are unbelievable. He took time to meet with us at the venue not once, but twice to ensure our day was captured perfectly. If you want everything and more for your big day choose Tony!
Tony was very sweet and kind to work with. He had taken amazing pictures of our elopement in the downtown area. He captured every moment with artistic detail. I highly recommend Tony Gallagher!!:)
Tony did a wonderful job with our wedding photos. We provided him a list of the formal photos we wanted, and he and his assistant made sure everyone was in the right photos. We selected Tony over other photographers because of his guarantee to provide *all* the digitals and his unbeatable price - we were not disappointed!
Tony was amazing to work with. He was very flexible down to the day of the wedding and exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend Tony to anyone.
Tony was phenomenal. We had several friends and family members comment on how great he did the day of the wedding. He moved quickly through the group and family shots and he was able to get so many pictures from different viewpoints during the ceremony and reception. He truly captured the mood in his photos and that is exactly what we wanted. I would absolutely choose him again for future events. Thanks Tony!
We absolutely loved working with Tony and recommend his talents without reservation! He was so professional and calm, and knew instinctively how to capture so many perfect tiny moments. We are thrilled with our wedding photos and love showing them off in our home. Tony's artistic eye brings out the best in everyone and all of our photos are just gorgeous. If you get a chance to book him, don't hesitate!
Tony was absolutely amazing at our wedding! We did torture him a bit with getting married on January 7th in 30 degree weather and outdoor pictures but they turned out absolutely amazing With all the details of the day, he took his roll and ran with it and we didn’t have to worry about anything with the pictures. They all turned out amazing and make such an incredible reminder of our special day. He has an artistic touch to find the photos that fit what you’re looking for. I can’t say enough good things about Tony!!
Our wedding pictures were exquisite! The colors were vibrant and each picture captured so much emotion that each picture tells its own story. Tony was really able to capture the moment the all of the emotion and expression wrapped into it. The pictures at Red Rocks were exactly what we had hoped for and more. Tony was meticulous, organized and really has an eye for exceptional moments and captures them perfectly. Tony went above and beyond for us on our once in a lifetime day.
Tony was awesome! We couldn't be any happier. Very easy to work with, great communication, showed up before our start time, and captured many priceless moments from our special day. After we received our file we realized how many 'in the moment' shots he actually shot. I can't say enough times how much we loved him. He was a blast to work with! We highly, highly, recommend him. Thank you again Tony!
Tony is a professional who cares about his work. When you ask him to complete any task, he will complete it with 100%. Tony was pleasant to work with, he met with us twice to make sure he could get us the best photos. He came to the venue to check out the lighting to ensure he has the right equipment for the wedding day. I gave him a huge formal shot list that he was determined to finish. There was several photos that I was pleased with as the were unexpected re-life moments. He was able to take a photo with 100 people to capture the people at my wedding. Both Tristan and I are amazed by the photos he took of our special day. We will cherish these photos forever.
Tony was fantastic! For such a large bridal party he was able to get everyone organized and get all of the shots we wanted, plus some fun shots around our venue. I highly recommend him, and cannot wait to see our wedding photos.
Tony is the best! Punctual, professional and a true artist. My wedding pictures are amazing! I definitely recommend him!
Tony is fantastic!! We had a wedding with a very short planning time frame and a limited budget. Tony came to us as a recommendation from a recommendation and I am so glad! From the very first meeting he was super laid back, but excited about our wedding. We even had to bring our 15 month old to the meeting and he was so sweet and inclusive of her. That's when we knew that he would be perfect! And, he did not disappoint!!
We had a limited time for pre-wedding shots, we which decided would include the formals and he worked quickly getting all the shots in and even working in different backgrounds as we walked around the block.
The most important part to us was capturing the 2nd Line Parade that we had planned, and Tony nailed it. His photos perfectly captured the vibrancy and fun energy of the event. In the limited time we gave Tony he took more beautiful photos that we could have ever imagined. He greatly exceeded our expectations of what could be done, and then some! I HIGHLY recommend him for any event. He is efficient, friendly, and doesn't a fantastic job.
Trying to decide on a wedding photographer was a tough decision for us. We looked at many different portfolios and decided to contact Tony based on his sample shots he had on his website. For us his pictures seemed to capture the moment and the way he framed the shots really appears to tell a story.
We ended up meeting with Tony several times leading up to our wedding day. He was very easy to work with, always made time to answer our questions and concerns. He was very receptive to what we envisioned the wedding would look like and what type of shots we were interested in getting. He gave us tips and suggested a shooting timeline which turned out great, as we were able to get photos with all our family and guest. Tony even came out to the venue a day before the wedding so he could scope out areas to shoot, check out how the lighting would be for photos and sync up with the event staff.
Overall we had a fantastic experience with Tony and his assistance Eunice. They were wonderful to work with and the pictures came out amazing! Tony is extremely patient, professional and he does whatever necessary to capture beautiful photos. Even our guest loved him and commented on how cool he was throughout the whole event.
Looking at the pictures afterwards we were astounded by the quality of the photos he took. The pictures from getting ready in the morning until the bouquet toss towards the end of the night turned out great. It’s like reliving the day again whenever we're going through our photo album. We shared the website he put up for us and got so many positive comments from our family and friends. We’d highly recommend Tony if you’re looking for a photographer.
Tony gave my fiance and I a great experience and fantastic pictures to remember it by. I had a plan to surprise my then girlfriend to pop the question and Tony was very receptive and even helped go along with my plan. He was very accommodating and my fiance and I loved the pictures he took. Thanks Tony!
Tony was an incredible photographer! He really captured our wedding perfectly - I couldn't have imagined the photos turning out better than they did. He and his assistant were super-organized, communicative , creative and importantly for us, very respectful of the ceremony space, while still documenting all the details to a T. Our outdoor ceremony had a slight "rain delay" (good luck, I guess!), but they rolled with it (and got some really great shots of people mulling around/joking/waiting for the ceremony to start) - and, since things got bumped later than we expected, Tony eventually offered to stay for some extra time to photograph more of our reception at a super-reasonable rate. We're so glad we did that - it was well worth it!
We also chose to have our engagement pics included with our package and were really pleased that we did - they turned out beautifully and it was a great opportunity to get to know Tony and his approach a little better before the day.
All in all, I highly recommend Tony - he is courteous, communicative, and will make everything about your day look magazine stunning!
Tony and his assistant, Eunice, were a dream to work with. From the moment my husband and I browsed Tony's portfolio, we knew he'd capture all of the right moments of our wedding day - and do so beautifully.
My husband and I were looking for someone to tell the story of the day - the look on my husband's face as I walked down the aisle, the way in which my niece (the flower girl) high-five'd the priest, my dad's smile as he took my hand for our father-daughter dance, and so on. Tony did just that. He's trained as a photojournalist, so he has a knack for recognizing what matters. His candid photography is unsurpassed, and his posed work is just as breathtaking.
Importantly, Tony is incredibly pleasant and easy to work with. When you're spending, in our case, hours of your wedding day with just your photographer, you want to be with someone who is friendly and engaging. Tony and Eunice were just what my husband and I needed, and hoped for in a wedding photographer. I recommend them fully and with no reservation.
Tony did a fabulous job as the photographer for our wedding. We were astounded by the prices of most wedding photographers and were not impressed with what many of them had to offer. Lots of "corny" shots and weird poses. My mom knew a commercial photographer and asked if he knew anyone who did weddings. He connected us with Tony and we loved every single interaction from there on out. Tony is an artist, and captured all the details and special moments of our wedding with elegance and beauty. Even more meaningful to me, was how he managed my difficult family just effortlessly. He got all of our family photos done before the ceremony, in a narrow window of time from when we were allowed at the ceremony site to when I walked down the aisle. (This was at my request ... and is a feat the wedding coordinator at our ceremony site said she'd never seen accomplished before). Best of all, Tony was by far the least expensive of the photographers we reviewed, and he offered so much more for the money. Many of the vendors we worked with for the wedding did not know Tony, but I would say he is a "hidden gem" and would strongly recommend him to a loved one for their own wedding.
I'll admit, at first I was a little concerned because from some email conversations back and forth, I felt that his responses were short. From this, I did have some concern about how well he would meet our needs. However, after working with him the day of our wedding and then seeing some of the preview shots, I'm happy to say Tony is an outstanding photographer!!! I would recommend him for any type of photography. I would love to go back and have him take family photos. He was at our wedding recently and helped make our wedding. Once we saw some of the photos he sent to us, me and my wife just fell in love with them. He captured all the moments we had talked about in our meetings prior to our wedding. He was attentive to the types of shots we liked and was great when we had to change a few photos last minute. He was very understanding and willing to work with what we wanted. He was not pushy for any particular shots. He was extremely easy to work with and a ton of fun! He was professional in every way and was patient with my large family! We couldn't have chosen a better photographer to take our pictures. I highly recommend him! 5 out of 5 stars!
Talk about class! Erin and I interviewed probably 6-8 photographers in the Breckenridge/Denver area. With ours being a destination wedding, hiring the right people is a little uncertain. We obviously chose the right one! Tony and his assistant were both intuitive with our wants and needs 100% of the way. He has a calm presence, but yet an aggressive desire to get the pictures that matter. Loved him! You won't be sorry!!
Tony photographed our very small, intimate wedding ceremony, and we couldn't be happier. He delivered on everything he promised from both posed and candid shots to providing the finished product in a timely manner. Tony was easy to work with and made sure to capture several shots of each of our guests. In the end, he beautifully documented the emotions of that fantastic day.
We're planning to hire him in the very near future for some upcoming events.
I shopped around a bit, and was shocked at the prices photographers charge for weddings. But not with Tony. His rate was lower than most, included far more, and take a look at his portfolio - his work is amazing!
Tony was so great to me and my family during our wedding pictures! He was professional and helped make us all comfortable! We had an outside wedding at Estes park and the way Tony captured the scenery was beautiful!
Tony was fantastic and definitely knows what he's doing. He has a lot of experience doing weddings, uses high-quality equipment, and his style is timeless .
We are so pleased with having Tony photograph our wedding. I've seen his work before and knew the photo results would be great, but you never know what the actual experience working with someone will be like. Tony was all around fantastic!! The meetings we had prior to the wedding were a pleasure and very helpful. His presence at the wedding was so nice... everyone was very comfortable with him and he was both involved in everything and totally unobtrusive. Honestly, I didn't even notice him during the ceremony, but he captured it perfectly. At the reception whenever I noticed him I could see that he was capturing just what I would want him to. He handled the outside formal photos after the ceremony (in January) really well, taking the time to get the shots right and make sure he hit every group we had on our list, while keeping it moving and getting us out of the cold as soon as possible. We made a last minute request to add a second site for photos between the ceremony and the reception and he picked a great spot, rushed over there with the groom and I, and we have the most beautiful sunset shot of the two of us that is one of my very favorites. I know these days (with everyone having a camera/phone and taking shots all the time) it's tempting to skimp on the professional photography, but as soon as we saw all the facebook photos our friends posted the day after the wedding I was SO grateful that we hired a pro. The shots were fun, but the quality was sorely lacking. If you want quality photos, it's worth every penny you pay for experience and expertise. In sum, I give Tony my highest recommendation and I know you will be as pleased with his work as we are.
Tony is a wonderful photographer! We got our engagement photos taken with Tony, and even though the weather wasn't optimal, we got amazing photos back from him a few short days later. We really appreciated him telling us how to stand or where to walk for each picture. Tony is a pleasure to work with, easy going and professional.
I had been looking at & admiring Tony's work for some time. However I was hesitant to ask him on such short notice to photograph my husband & me on our wedding day December 20th. Not only did he make time for us, but he agreed to drive to Colorado Springs to the Broadmoor for the shoot!
I had several creative shots in mind & Tony captured exactly what I wanted even better than I had imagined. I especially liked his suggestion of us dancing on the grounds under the trees on such a sunny December day! These have become some of my favorites.
The best part was working with such a talented & fun guy who loves what he does!
Tony Gallagher Photography was amazing! We had over 1000 edited pictures and we even gor them early. We had many kids and even a dog. He did great at getting everyone's attention I didn't know it could be done. He is worth every penny!
As I was planning my small, snowy Breckenridge wedding, photography was hugely important to me. I wanted intimate, realistic photos that captured the natural beauty that surrounded our venue. Tony surpassed my expectations!
I am so estatic that I was lucky enough to find such a caring, professional and dedicated photographer! Tony has such an artistic eye and his talent and attention to detail shows in every photograph! I could not be happier with all of the lovely memories he captured of my special day!
I would highly reccomend Tony to any bride! I really cannot say enough complimentary things about my experience with Tony!
Our experience with Tony was wonderful. First, our engagement shots were amazing. My husband asked for a specific picture he wanted and Tony was able to capture it! We used it for our thank you cards, and have a copy sitting in our entry way. As for our wedding, he was flexible, easy to talk to and got all the shots we asked for. I don't enjoy taking pictures and our 20 something person bridal party is pretty loud and obnoxious BUT Tony was still able to wrangle everyone together and get the job done with this rowdy group! He did a great job of getting all the posed pictures and some artsy stuff of the venue. We also got some great shots of our guests! In 650 pictures not everything is going to be perfect but we absolutely got some shots we won't forget and in my opinion that is the point! I would recommend him to anyone and almost EVERY family member who saw the picture roll commented on what a wonderful job he did!
Tony was unobtrusive, transparent, patient, and professional in every aspect of shooting our wedding. He has an eye for photography, and his framing makes the portraits even more so ascetically pleasing. His calm demeanor relaxed us which put us at ease for the shoots. He came as a recommendation to us, and I will most certainly recommend him to others. Inquire about the engagement session, because we felt it was well worth it!
I was not going to come online and write a review.I figured Tony could be a more appropriate photographer for others and just was not a suitable photographer for us.I changed my mind after I received an email from Tony asking for an online review to boost his web presence. And in that email he said that if the review was positive, then he would provide a "free 8" x 12" print from the shoot" ( If you would like to see a copy of this email then please click on my user name and go to my Google+ page and then click on "posts") If people were bribed to write positive reviews then I felt that I should sacrifice my free photo and share our experience with you so that others dont waste a lot of money and miss getting the photos they want of their wedding day.
While researching photographers for our wedding we met with Tony. My wife felt he was not ideal. But I convinced her that he just had an "artist" personality and that is exactly what we wanted. An artist. Unfortunately all we ended up with was a rude guy with a camera. He was very impatient and gave incredibly poor direction. During the formals he repeatedly yelled at my brother "stop squinting." This would be ok except my brother-in-law is part japanese. He missed several of the photos on our shot list which we had to provide to him multiple times. And he is just so awkward and unapproachable that no guests approached him and asked him to take pics. After the wedding, he called and told my wife he had "allergies" and that is why he was so snappish towards members of my family during the formal shoot. Since he knew this was an outdoor wedding in July (with photos in the mountains) I do wish he had informed us of this possibility before we spent so much $ on him. As part of our package we also had a free shoot with him. We just gave it up so we didnt have to spend any more time with him.
If your wedding shoot is just you and your partner, and it is not outdoors due to his allergies, and there are no small children or animals that will frustrate with Tony then Tony may be a fit for you. And read his positive reviews judiciously since they were incentivized.
For me, photography was the most important part of my wedding (other than the groom ;). These are the photos we'll be showing our grandchildren someday, so I spent a LOT of time overthinking which photographer to go with. Tony was phenomenal in every way possible. He always answered emails quickly. He has an artistic eye that was exactly what we were looking for. I especially appreciated how patient he was with me as I made changes to the timeline and when I was unclear about what I wanted. I had serious wedding brain those last couple weeks and Tony handled it flawlessly. He even managed to keep his cool with the rowdy group of frat boys (groomsmen) and get some gorgeous group photos. Tony and his assistant Erin were both committed to the quality of our photos and it really shows in the final product. They played a big part in what made our day memorable and we're so grateful to have had them there!
We loved Tony, he did such an amazing job and really listened to what we wanted and the results were spectacular! I asked for very candid shots, and not many posed ones, and Tony got great shots of me and my bridesmaids and family getting ready (plus loads of my dogs who were part of the wedding). The shots of the touches (flower, table setting etc) were so beautiful, and I must admit, I even loved the posed ones (of myself, the groom and the ones of us and our family and dogs). I loved the ones of the ceremony and reception, he had caught everyone smiling or laughing, so very candid but he definitely found everyones' best angle. He was so lovely to work with as well and a really nice guy. I would highly recommend to any brides!!
Thanks to Tony for taking absolutely stunning wedding pictures. I had a traditional indian wedding at Aspen, CO this summer. Tony did an awesome job of capturing the event and creating an extraordinary array of pictures... all with grace ..felt so natural but yet had excellent coverage. I will cherish these precious moments for a lifetime.

Tony is a great professional to work with. He has experience with Jewish weddings, so it was perfect for us. We had a great introductory meeting where we discussed our style and preferences. He helped us figure out what memories we wanted to capture, and is not intrusive. He was easy to get a hold of for any changes or additions we needed to make to our photography list, and even did a walkthrough with me ahead of time at both the ceremony and reception locations. On the day of the wedding, Tony and his assistant were on time, and already were familiar with the locations. Having two people made things work very smoothly. They were prepared for the weather issues, and the photos look like they were taken on the most beautiful day in Colorado! He's continued to be communicative after the wedding, and we're absolutely satisfied with the quality of the hard copies. The digital copies came quickly as well.
Overall, we would recommend Tony wholeheartedly!
Tony Gallagher is an amazing photographer! Not only he is very creative and artistic, he is also very kind and easy to work with. My husband and I got married in August 2014 in Breckenridge, CO. We are not from Colorado and experienced the struggle many couples have when planning a destination wedding. During our internet search, we came across his work on someone’s personal wedding website and loved it. We planned a pre-wedding trip to Denver / Breckenridge. Tony was very flexible with his schedule and pulled together an amazing engagement photoshoot. Tony scouts the area before taking you, and he looks for the special spots to capture precious moments. He makes an effort to meet your needs AND to let you know what will look good. He is quick to let you know when a shot is not working. He is essentially a good and effective communicator with a keen eye. We immediately hired him for our wedding.
On our wedding day, we couldn’t have asked for more. He did everything just right. He is consistent with his work. He took beautiful photos, which we continue to admire. His time management is top notch. It actually helped US stay on schedule!
As for price, Tony is very reasonably priced for the quality he provides. Our price included both the engagement and wedding service. We were very lucky to find him and could not have been more happy with his service! We will go back to him anytime we are in Colorado and want to do another photoshoot.
Tony was spectacular! I am thrilled with our photos and am so happy with his service. He did a fantastic job of capturing key moments in our wedding (which was not easy because we were all over the place!), and he was able to stick to our schedule even when I ran late. His assistant, Eunice, helped to set up a "photo booth" and took hilarious pictures of our guests. Tony is worth every penny and is very reasonably priced for the quality he provides. I highly recommend him!
We decided to do pre wedding photos to avoid some of the hassle of doing photos the day of wedding. Tony met us on a beautiful afternoon, at a location of our choice. We shoot photos till sunset, he did an amazing job and has a keen eye for photography. The turn around for the photos was very fast. Tony is a very talented photographer that I would highly recommend.
When a friend recommended Tony Gallagher for my daughter's wedding, I quickly looked at his web site. I immediately emailed my daughter to say, "I found your photographer!!" When I met Tony at the wedding site later, I was impressed with his "artistic eye" to scope out potential indoor and outdoor spots for photos. Tony is so friendly and professional. We are delighted with the pictures from my daughter's early morning engagement photo shoot in a local park, and I know the wedding pictures will be wonderful also. Tony's wedding photos have a combination of romantic, natural and whimsical poses with beautiful and unique settings and lighting. We are fortunate we "found" him!
No hidden fees or cost with Tony.
We met and discuss our vision with him and he delivered everything we asked for and more.
Our photos turned out better than we could have imagined.
Tony captured many candied moments during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and we did even notice he was there.
We were pleasantly surprise he captured many moments we were not aware of.
If we had to do it all ever again, no question, Tony would be our only choice.
Our pictures were available for viewing and purchase in a timely manner.
We recommend Tony 100%.
We have the impression that our picture were taken by a friend not just a photographer.
Tony was the first photographer we interviewed, and, well, the only. We chose him quickly, as we liked his photos, his demeanor, and his professionalism. Our wedding photos came out exactly the way we wanted and had discussed, and Tony's professionalism thru-out the entire day was second to none. I would recommend Tony and his assistant, Eunice, to anyone and everyone. We could not have been more happy with his service!
I cannot say enough about the professionalism and quality of Tony's work! I was so impressed with the ice castle pictures, that we added him to our list of professionals here at The Lodge at Breckenridge. You will not go wrong choosing Tony as your wedding photographer!

Tony Gallagher was my photographer for my Breckenridge mountain wedding last year. He shot both my wedding day and my engagement shoot. His pictures truly speak for themselves. His warm, professional and laid back attitude were a great asset in getting my camera shy fiance/husband to actually smile and be himself in our photos. He was very focused getting all the shots I had requested beforehand, as well as capturing some very special moments throughout the day. He was a pleasure to work with, both on site and through the planning and preparation stages. He is up for anything and will capture whatever you request and even things you didn't think to ask for.
Tony was very reasonable as far as prices. He was willing to drive all the way up to our 12,000 ft cabin we reserved outside of Breckenridge, Colorado! It started snowing, and his pictures were the most gorgeous pictures we could've ever asked for. I have them all over my house, and I have some in my classroom. Everyone always asks, was that background real? They say that we look like "models" and the picture looks professional. :) I don't know about all that, but I do know that I would highly recommend Tony's pictures to anyone wanting professional-looking pictures! You won't be disappointed.
I would highly recommend Tony to photograph your wedding, or any other special event. Tony photographed our Wedding and captured everything in a unique and artistic way. Tony found amazing locations within our venues that we would have never seen on our own, those photographs are some of our favorites. Tony captured everything from our big day in a beautiful way that truly represented our style and brought the event to life through the photography.
I was recently a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, and I have to say Tony was really, really wonderful. He was able to get in there and get really amazing shots without ever being in the way. He was able to tackle a really long shot-list with the family and bridal party with creativity and efficiency. We even got a great little slideshow within a week of the wedding!
I can't say enough. I would recommend Tony to all of my friends!
Tony Gallagher is a consumate professional and a brilliant artist. As our engagement and wedding photographer he produced indelible images that captured the deep love and playful bond between my wife and I and the joy and magic of our special night. He is creative and respectful and works incredibly hard to get you exactly what you want and, in our case, created lovely images that we didn't even know were possible. I can't recommend him enough.
When my wife and I were researching photographers for our wedding, we met with some perspective hires and visited several websites to look at portfolios. I remember thinking that I was seeing nice pictures. In an instant, after seeing Tony's work, I knew we were looking at more than just pictures. There was something in the richness of color and a feeling of the mood in the photography. We had found an artist and knew there was no one else who could capture our wedding in such a way.
When it came to our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, Tony had the best personality and made the photo time quick and painless. I never had to conjure up a smile when hearing Tony's instruction and found myself in a great mood just listening to his excitement and after our formal photos, he moved around the gathering getting wonderful candid shots and location photos.
The collection we came away with is amazing. I'm looking at some of the photos on the wall as I write this and still feel this way a year later. Cost-wise, Tony was more reasonable than other photographers we considered, and the quality was no comparison. Check out his portfolio and you will see the difference. Tony has a wonderful eye and a great personality to go with it. Make sure you get him to capture your special day as well.
I hired Tony Gallagher to do my engagement photos and was so happy with his creativity and talent that I asked him photograph my wedding and reception also.
I was very impressed with his professionalism and his ability to capture all the big moments I wanted as well as all the little moments I might have missed or forgotten otherwise. Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE who saw our photos commented on how unique and beautiful they were. He is truly a talented artist.
If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the personality of your relationship, who makes a great effort to understand what you want out of your wedding photographs, and who you can count on to deliver in every way, this is your guy. Tony will be doing all our future family photos!
My husband and I were very happy with our photos. We chose not to have an engagement session and only spoke with Tony in person about what we were looking for in our photos. Tony certainly delivered. Not only did he capture special moments with his candid shots, but he also was very patient with the long list of formals we wanted taken as well. He is very professional and has a great eye. We are glad to have worked with him.
Tony did a fabulous job with our pictures producing well over his estimated minimum. He was efficient and great fun to have at our wedding. The day was such a whirlwind and he was well worth the price to be able to relive it over and over again! Thanks Tony for enjoying our day with us!
Tony G was great. We did an outdoor ceremony and reception in May 2013, and he did a wonderful job of capturing each special moment.
He's got a great eye for unique shots and was fun to work with. I definitely recommend him.
Tony was the photographer for our friends wedding a couple years before, and what really stuck out to us was his timliness, flexibility, and also his ability to capture great shots but not be in your face constantly.
When looking for photographers for our wedding, he was one of our first choices and the more we thought about it and met others, the more we knew Tony was the right guy for us.
He's young and enthusiastic, charismatic, and shows a genuine concern for both the quality of your photos, but also for the bride and groom as exhausted and sometimes frusturated people. Tony made every effort to ensure we were comfortable during our sessions, while still getting the shots we wanted in a timely and organized fashion.
He drove three hours to do a venue walkthrough before our big day, so when it finally came, he knew the layout of the venue, had really great spots in mind for the pictures, and was able to keep everything flowing and fun.
My wife and I were absolutely satisfied with Tony's performance, and the final images showed, as they were tasteful, beautiful, and unique images. He captured so many moments that we still enjoy looking back on. We would recommend Tony Gallagher to any and all friends asking about a wedding photographer, and couldnt have been happier with the results!
It was very fortunate that we met Tony. He is a true artist and has a very keen eye for details. He made me felt so beautiful when he photographed us and his photos turned out so beautifully. Because of his professionalism and enthusiastic work, every guests at my wedding wanted his number! Thank you Tony. :)
Tony was so great! He shot our engagements photos and is shooting our wedding photos in a few months! I am really looking forward to seeing them! He was so easy to communicate with and really got a feel for what I wanted as bride. He was really fun and made taking pictures with him a breeze! I love his photographic style, it's different from the cookie cutter pictures you see everywhere else. Tony is wonderful and I definitely recommend him!
Tony took our engagement photos and we had a great experience! He came highly recommended to us from a friend, which we greatly appreciated. Tony was flexible and accommodating, working with our hectic schedules and disastrous weather conditions to achieve the best pictures possible. He gave us some helpful tips when posing for the camera and made us feel comfortable. Really quick turnaround time on receiving the digital prints and slideshow, as well!
We worked with Tony on a very special DIY backyard wedding in early June. Robin and Brandon had a very relaxed style and wanted their special day to be casual but infused with special vintage detail. The location was perfect, the weather, superb and Tony and his crew did an amazing job of capturing everything! One of the elements that I loved is that they set up a screen in the yard and showed pictures taken throughout the day on the screen during the reception. That element made quite a hit. Tony's images of the wedding were right on and captured all of the special moments, scenes and intimate details of the day.
Tony photographed our wedding in Dec 2012. He did an amazing job! The pictures turned out so beautiful. He really had a keen eye for detail which made all the difference in the pictures. I don't think there was a single picture I didn't love. Thank you Tony for photographing our wedding and the work you did. I would definitely recommend Tony!
