Laid Back Photographer with Exceptional Skill

Clay and Lisa are nothing short of amazing! Having them document our wedding day was by far one of the best decisions we made.

Clay and Lisa can make the most plain setting look wonderful, that talent results in them making the beautiful places even more spectacular than they already are. Clay managed to wrangle the whole family for photos, his humor kept everyone smiling and the photos never felt tiresome. Lisa is a photo-ninja, she gets crazy fantastic shots and you don't even remember her being there. Our wedding photos are so wonderful we haven't been able to narrow down to our 100 favorites to print.

If you want exceptional photos that you will cherish forever, then hire Red Gallery Photography.

It was a top priority for us to invest in an outstanding photographer to capture our wedding day. I'm an event planner by trade and Type-A to a fault; I had spreadsheets and lists and graphs. We did our homework and got it right by hiring Red Gallery Photography. 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 for 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 not to take the narcissistic route by 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!

We worked with Clay for our engagement session, he is more than awesome! we had to reschedule and he was totally understanding and offered us another empty spot. The pictures were so great although we didnt take long time (it was so hot and humid) but he is very professional and he helped us take the best pauses for the pictures..... He will be our wedding's photographer (so excited to) .... and I would totally recommend him to everyone who wants the best pictures in Ohio!!

Red Galley Photography is simply the best photographer in OH. We worked with Clay for our winter wedding and he did an extraordinary job from when we first met him to the end of the reception. His professionalism and passion for photography is amazing and is shown through his work and he truly captured our wedding night perfectly. I could not be more happy with how all of our photos came out and the quality of the work. Clay is an extraordinary photographer and I would recommend him to anybody having a wedding!

I don't know where to even start writing this review. Everything about Clay was perfect for our event. As a bride, i was so grateful for how accommodating Clay was from the beginning. Every request we made was never a bother to him. We had an extremely large wedding party (13 bridesmaids, 13 groomsmen, 10 children, and large families on both sides, not to mention 600 guests) and Clay handled everything so well. He was oh so professional and easy going, but not at all lazy, which made the picture part of our day a total breeze. From our first look to group photos to reception, everything was captured so beautifully. We are absolutely blown away by the beauty and quality of our photos. The one word that most have used to describe them is STUNNING. I would recommend Clay 100 times over to anyone looking for a photographer. His style and ability to capture light are just perfect. And there is not a single photo that looks over processed. It's really difficult to find a photographer that is on-trend, but not photoshop happy. Clay fit our bill perfectly and I say "Pick Clay!"

We knew as soon as we saw Red Gallery's website that we wanted them as our wedding photographers, and it was the best decision we made in our planning process. Clay is so easy to work with- always responded to my emails/calls within a day (and within hours the week of the wedding when I had last minute questions/requests). Lisa was our second shooter and came with us girls as we got ready. She really felt like a friend even though we hadn't met her before, and she also kept us on schedule without making us feel rushed. Every family member said how friendly and nice our photographers were. Clay even took a few pictures with my mom's camera so we had some pictures right away, and she thought that was the coolest thing.

My husband and I had an absolute blast when we went off to do the pictures of just us after the ceremony. They made us feel like models, even though we are usually awkward in front of the camera. Clay and Lisa are such a great couple, and we were laughing at their jokes and conversations the whole time. It is one of our favorite memories from the wedding day. :)

We recently got our pictures, and are so so pleased with how they turned out. We loved how our engagement pictures turned out, so we had high expectations and we were totally blown away by our wedding pictures. Clay and Lisa are so creative, and we have so many beautiful, artistic photo's (along with beautiful, family pictures and all of the important moments). They captured every little detail and even little interactions among our guests. We could not be happier with our photos!

I would/will recommend Red Gallery to everyone, and I am so glad we chose them!

I was thrilled with our wedding photos from Red Gallery!! Clay was extremely professional and responded quickly to our questions. Our finished product represented our wedding, from start to finish. His work was so beautiful, some of the pictures were even featured on theknot.com. I would definitely recommend his services!!

My wife has always wished to have Clay(Red Gallery) shoot her wedding.

Clay did an amazing job at our wedding. He was very flexible and easy to work with. The photos and shots were very creative and were better than we could imagine. We now have the problem of not having enough wall space for all of them.

I would highly recommend Red Gallery

Red Gallery did an amazing Job! We loved working with with Clay. He listened to what we were looking for in a photographer and the style of photo's that were were looking to capture. On our wedding day, as well as our engagement shoot he was very professional and made me feel at ease. I did not stress out and enjoyed the day and took it all in. Clay kept us on a time frame; something I did't need to worry about and it seemed like everything flowed right. We recently received our wedding pictures and couldn't believe how amazing each picture turned out. I felt like I was reliving our wedding day. Everything was perfect from the lighting, coloring, positioning, location and touch ups. Clay answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We can honestly say we have no regrets working with Clay and would highly recommend Red Gallery. The pictures are beautiful and I cannot wait to share them with family and friends. I love the creativity an thought he put into our pictures and I am so happy to have these special memories captured!!!

Thank you Clay and Red Gallery!!!

I have been a fan of Red Gallery's work ever since I met them about eight years ago at the Darby House. Their work is top notch and I always enjoy seeing their images after the wedding. Their ability to capture the moment is breathtaking.
