Best couple photographers ever
Highly Recommend - very professional and great shots
We hired Gala for both wedding photography and videography. We reached out to several different vendors but decided on Gala due to the quality photos and videos they shared from past weddings.
They were very easy to work with, providing good direction for posting to us and our bridal party. We had a great variety of amazing shots and the videos were amazing!
Prior to and during the wedding day they also had great suggestions as far as the wedding timeline to help things keep flowing, it was highly appreciated.
Unfortunately, we did not get getting ready photos/video as they were in a car accident on their way to our getting ready location, but that was totally out of their control and I do not hold that against them. They were actually heading to the location early to scope out the site for good shots. I’m grateful that they were ok, and despite being in a scary accident they carried on and shot the rest of they day like nothing happened. Additionally, they refunded us for the time they were not able to shoot.
If you are looking for great quality photos and videos, professionalism and experience, I highly recommend Gala.
