The perfect Photographer

Gilbert was our photographer for engagement pictures, our first covid wedding and our second big wedding. He is always early, ready to go, and has a good positive vibe to relax you so pictures come out great. He got pictures of everything, even the things we forgot we wanted pictures of. And he edits and corrects them before sending them to you. His website is easy to use which is good because we will be using these pictures for years to come. He answered emails in under a few hours and kept in contact with out other vendors to coordinate everything. 10/10 would HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Gilbert Beautifully Captured Our Day

Hired for both wedding and engagement photos! Yes, this review is late, but we cannot recommend Gilbert enough. Gilbert is so incredibly fun to work with. Both my now husband and I were so nervous, but upon his arrival, Gilbert immediately put us at ease and we had the most fun engagement shoot. Throughout the entire process, even when Covid interfered, Gilbert was responsive and incredibly supportive. When we contemplated moving the ceremony to Florida (original venue in MD), he was completely on board. Luckily, we did stay in MD, but between 2 venues, which Gilbert shot flawlessly. At all times Gilbert was professional, resourceful, thoughtful, and flexible. He effortlessly captured genuine moments of our love, goofiness, and happiness.

Gibert gets the vibes + good shots

Gilbert filled in for a job I booked with BOB that had been moved because of Covid several times. He was so fun to work with and got our vibe, would highly recommend him and was super pro.

Covid Wedding

We cannot recommend Gilbert enough!
Anyone can see that Gilbert is extremely talented. We constantly get compliments on how beautiful our wedding pictures were.
Even more important to us, Gilbert was professional, fun and easygoing. Your photographer is there for the most special, intimate parts of your day. Not only did Gilbert blend in and get beautiful shots without us even noticing him at times, but he also added to our day without ever overstepping.
It takes a special person to always be thinking 5 steps ahead to get beautiful shots while also reading people and interacting with them effortlessly, especially when emotions are high. Gilbert is 100% that person and I will keep recommending him to everyone I know!

Amazing down to earth photographer

We LOVED working with Gilbert. We chose not to do any engagement photos so we hadn't met before the wedding, but he was great at having a phone call and sending a document that helped us decide what photos we wanted and what specific things at the wedding were important for us to have captured. He was always quick to respond and positive.

We did photos before the ceremony, and Gilbert was amazing at finding great places to shoot (even though he'd never been to the venue), made us feel comfortable (we'd never done a professional photo shoot), and it was just a super fun way to start of our celebrations. He was great at getting everything done and getting people together without being in your face or intense. We had mentioned that we would be having an ice cream cart and novelties near the end of the night, which would have been just as his time was ending. The caterer forgot to put out the ice creams at the time, and thankfully Gilbert remembered and was so kind and stayed a bit longer to take some last photos for us!

And then the photos, wow! He sent us a sneak peek that night so when we got back to the hotel, we had a few to look at which was SO FUN! And they are all gorgeous, and they capture us and the energy and vibe of the wedding so well.

We hope Gilbert will take many more important life moment photos for us in the future! He is the best!

Highly recommend

Gilbert shot our engagement photos and our wedding, we couldn't have imagined anyone else doing them. He was the first thing I knew I wanted for my wedding, before I had a date or a venue. He makes you feel so comfortable through the whole process and was very responsive to any questions we had. Our wedding party and guests loved him, they were very impressed with how quick and efficient he was at getting the shot, several of my bridesmaid have already booked shoots with him or have recommended him to friends after our wedding.
We got our photos quickly and have been showing them to everyone, they are beautiful! I will be looking for excuses to book more shoots with him in the future.

Amazing work!

Gilbert has an amazing eye with his work. He does the job to capture what his clients want and more. Even his personal work is incredible. He truly knows how to work with lighting which is important. It has been 2 years since he photographed our wedding and I always continue to recommend him when my friends are searching for a wedding photographer. He's also laid back and will make you feel comfortable. You will not regret having Gilbert document the most important parts of your life!

Fantastic!

Gilbert beautifully captured our wedding day! He was extremely professional while also keeping it light fun, which was much needed for those wedding day nerves! His prices were lower than other vendors and we received our pictures quickly after our wedding. Gilbert was flexible with what pictures we wanted taken. The groomsmen took this idea and ran, and all the pictures turned out great! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable photographer with incredible skills!

Great Experience and Magical Memories

We were very relaxed about our wedding day and willing to go with the flow about most things, but one thing was a non-negotiable: we wanted stunning photos that we would love looking back on. Gilbert delivered that and more! Gilbert went above and beyond to accomplish our photo dreams and jumped in with creative ideas and direction when we needed it. Some of his ideas ended up being our favorite photos! The whole experience working with Gilbert was fun, professional, and stress-free. We were astounded when we got our photos back - we couldn’t stop looking at them and now two years later we are still obsessed with them!! Gilbert captured our personalities and the spirit of our relationship and our wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
