GAGE Photo + Film

We found Gage in the middle of 2020. Crazy times and even crazier we were trying to plan a wedding. Our initial contact (Video Chat) with Gage was like meeting a new friend at a party. Relaxed, comfortable and we knew instantly that this guy was perfect. Not to mention his insane photography and videography skills, of course. But you already knew that.
It’s important to trust your vendors with your big day and we trusted him immediately.
Skip to the engagement shoot (do it, it’s worth it!), we wanted some unique photos, mainly water photos. Gage literally jumped right in with us. What came out of that was some of the dreamiest photos I’ve ever seen. He captured our love and everything in it.
Now skip to the wedding- he checked in with ME. If you’re doing a DIY wedding, you’re normally busy managing other vendors and putting out small fires as you go. Throw in a pandemic wedding when CA just opens up, a vendor and someone as important as your photographer, reaching out makes a big impact. When talking to him, it felt calming and reassuring that everything was going to work out and I didn’t have to “manage” him. He had it, he knew what he was doing, where he was going, the times. Everything.

I’m mainly writing about him as a person (his assistant photographer was just as rad), and it’s because if you have researched him at all, you know how insane his photos are. They’re unique and full of life and movement. That’s what we were drawn to. You know his epic video skills (our video was insane and perfect too). I still gush over him when I see our photos on the wall or rewatch our video.

Call him, email him, contact him in some way and it will be the best thing you ever do for your wedding. Your wedding day flies by (I know you hear that but omg, you have no idea) and all your memories are shoved together in this fun, slightly anxiety filled, possibly drunk, tired, chunk….Until you get the photos & video and it’s like reliving your wedding all over again.

We got attracted to Gage's ability to take photos when people are in motion which makes each photo more natural and less staged. And this is exactly what we got! Gage provided us with the best experience - we had a small family elopement ceremony and he went above and beyond to capture everything we had in mind. He casually asked us to dance, take a silly walk around the lake, have a chat - and all of those photos turned out beautifully! He seems to have a way to make people around him relaxed and ready for a photoshoot.

It only took him a week and a half to get the photos back to us and they were stunning! I noticed that most photos that he produces can be printed and hung on a wall by themselves. I know it's hard to do that since each photo needs to be of high quality and taken from a good angle with people being natural in the picture.

All in all, Gage is your guy, you won't regret hiring him. We will hire him again for our bigger wedding!

Gage was super awesome to work with, he took our engagement photos, wedding photos and added videography with drone footage with an added partner. He was professional and friendly, and did a great job helping us relax to get great shots while actively tracking the sun & lighting. Our engagement photos were timed perfectly for sun set, and Gage grabbed us for a quick extra photo session during the golden hour of our wedding to get all the right shots of light coming through trees and bushes at our venue. We totally recommend Gage as an amazing photographer and videographer!

Our experience with Gage was absolutely incredible. We knew we were drawn to his work right away from looking at his website, but we were so impressed by his balance of professionalism and equally being very personable and fun to be around! He's such a likeable guy, guests were commenting on how great he was! We really enjoyed his company throughout the whole day. He very much knows how to go with the flow but also get down to business to achieve what he needs to capture from the day. I love that we have an array of candid photos, but also more formal pictures that don't look stoic, everything is natural, everyone looks amazing, the photos are even better than we imagined, and he's a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. There was never a fear we were on two different pages, he's so easy communicate with and it was easy to trust our visions were aligned from long-distance conversation. We did elect one of the highest-priced packages because photography was a huge importance to us, but we believe his pricing is very reasonable with all of the different package options, and we realized we were willing to spend more in this category than what people spend on average. We highly recommend Gage for weddings, or any/all events! His work is STUNNING!

Gage truly captured our day so perfectly, we were crying all over again! We love our video so much & can’t stop watching it. Gage was so awesome to work with. He has great energy, was organized and so easy-going day of our wedding. He transformed our big day into a magical video that we can always look back on. We love his creative shots, editing style and music choices. He some how knew exactly the vibe we wanted, without us even really knowing what we wanted.. that’s how you know he’s amazing! We cannot thank him enough and highly recommend him!

Gage did our engagement and wedding photography and I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out and the how smooth the process was. He made us feel comfortable and his artistic style is exactly what I was looking for: warm, authentic, and lots of candids :)

Gage was the BEST! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, he completely went above and beyond. He made us feel so comfortable and by the end he felt like family! If you want photos that aren’t your traditional vibe, he is the one! Couldn’t recommended Gage enough!

We hired Gage for photography and videography for my rehearsal dinner, welcome event, and wedding, and I am so, so happy we did! Our photos and video came out absolutely stunning, and perfectly captured all of the fun, love, and magic of the day. The video was so thoughtfully edited, capturing all of the sweet moments before and after the ceremony, the fun of the reception, and just some of the chaos from the dance floor...! Gage was super communicative before and after, making sure he knew exactly what we wanted to have captured and who we wanted to focus on. The day of, he was really flexible and patient, and made sure we had the coverage we wanted while suggesting ideas. We were so excited to see all of the photos, and our families are having trouble picking which ones to have printed because they're all so beautiful! My husband and I have worked in production so can be really picky about these things, and we can both honestly and enthusiastically recommend working with Gage to capture all of your important moments!

We had a great experience with Gage. He took our engagement photos and wedding photos as well. He was very responsive, professional, helpful, and reasonable. We got a ton of photos from both events!

I felt so comfortable with Gage. We booked a wedding package which included an engagement session and wedding. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! I love the warmth of his photos. They all turned out amazing with a quick turn around time. He was great at communicating. Not a single complaint from me, he is awesome. BOOK HIM NOW!
