Great experience with Geoff's wedding photography

We had an amazing experience with Geoff! He was able to get all the planned shots we wanted and took a ton of incredible candid shots as well. He listened to our priorities and made an effort to capture the essence of our wedding, without just taking all the obvious shots. His pricing is also very reasonable for what you get. Can't recommend him enough.

Hire this wonderful team!

Geoff is just the best! His team captured both photos and video of our wedding. They are so sweet and so clearly experienced: efficient, yet kind and pleasantly unobtrusive! They really took the time to understand us and how we wanted to capture our day. They were able to capture some truly personal moments without us even realizing! We've both revisited our photos and video more times than I can count in the past year and plan to so much more in the future! It is a true joy to have such dynamic and joyous documentation of our friends, our family, our details, our day, and us!

Makes your day easy, fun, and captures stunning shots of your special day!!

Choosing a wedding photographer was easy once I found Geoff's portfolio! I was immediately drawn to the professional, hip, and natural vibe of his photography. In comparison to other vendor's portfolios, I noticed how every single one of his shots were special; I knew he would capture the best of our special day. When I contacted Geoff about prices/packages, he responded immediately with the information I needed and answered any questions I had about which package to choose. I was planning my wedding while finishing school so my responses weren't always timely, but he patiently worked with me on the timeline, which helped me feel prepared and calm for the big day. The day of the wedding he arrived early to help fit with our getting ready schedule, which helped a bunch! When I was running behind to set up the stuff for the detail shots, he seamlessly stepped in to grab the necessary items and got to work. As a bride who did not grow up planning every detail of my wedding or imagining how it would go, I felt at ease knowing Geoff could guide the timeline of our day so we were in the right spot for amazing photos the entire time! Also, my husband and I did not take engagement photos and were not exactly photo lovers but Geoff made us feel comfortable with his "no pressure" demeanor. In the first few minutes... we blossomed :) The wedding photos came sooner than I expected and every single photo in our album is purposeful and a dream to look at!! Do yourself a favor, stop looking at other vendors, and hire Geoff to perfectly capture your wedding day. He is the BEST.

Extremely professional, fun and all around great experience

I highly recommend Geoff Rivers.
He and his awesome wife did our wedding and could not have been happier with our time with Geoff. He made us feel so comfortable, he was professional and was so flexible. He makes any environment you’re taking pictures at look beautiful. Something I especially loved was when my husband and I were enjoying our reception, Geoff came up with a great idea to sneak away for a few minutes for some golden hour photos. Those photos are some of my most favorite from that day. You’ll love working with him and I can’t recommend him enough.

Take a look at his website, if that's the style of pictures you want, you can't go wrong with Geoff.

Super easy to work with and responsive to emails. Most importantly, his photos are gorgeous!! We also had Geoff and his wife Candice shoot our wedding video. Very happy with the video too. Take a look at his website, if that's the style of pictures you want, you can't go wrong with Geoff.

Highly recommend Geoff for any of your photography need.

10/10 Would use...again?

Geoff and his wife were great and really easy to work with. The photos came out so well! They were the perfect amount of accessible and invisible simultaneously throughout the whole process. We have no reservations recommending their work to anyone. We love them both!

Pick Geoff!

Geoff came very highly recommended through our wedding planner. We initially narrowed down our options between two different photographers based on their portfolios. Mario and I met first met Geoff one Saturday morning at a local coffee shop. Immediately we were sold due to the fact that he is very down to earth and easy to talk to. One thing you don't always think about is that you need to feel comfortable when getting pictures taken of yourself. We decided to do a test run for our wedding by also having Geoff take our engagement photos. I would definitely recommend this for the simple fact that it gives you an idea of what to expect on the big day. All in all Mario and I were not let down...on either the engagement or wedding photos. We explained the types of pictures we wanted and he got it all! For instance, I wanted lots of dancing photos. Geoff was also very quick to photo edit the albums and was always quick with communication. We also opted for the extra photographer. It is an additional cost, but this way we knew nothing would get missed on that day. Again, I would recommend Geoff for any occasion.

Geoff Rivers = True Magic

Oh Geoff Rivers is true magic. My husband and I could spend hours raving about Geoff and his amazing work. We instantly fell in love with the style of his photography. He is there to capture those special candid moments between you and your significant other, nothing posed (not a fan of those cheesy wedding/engagement poses)so everything is very natural. Scheduled a skype to Geoff and from there on it was history! Geoff traveled to Palm Springs to shoot our engagement photos and made sure we had the perfect natural lighting and also made sure we were as comfortable as can be (because having your picture taken can be nerve-wracking). When he emailed us the photos we were blown away. They were just beautiful and so perfect. Months later he shot our wedding and again we were just so comfortable around Geoff, he was not just our "wedding photographer" he was now our friend, and that is exactly how to describe Geoff, he is like an old friend who you have not seen in years but when you see each other it is like time had not stopped and that is what makes an amazing photographer. He captured the beautiful memories between my husband and I, and throughout our wedding with our dearest friends and family. I am beyond happy and thankful Geoff was our photographer because of him our wedding lives on
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
