Shannon and Gary are so easy to work with! My fiancé and I met with them before we booked and instantly knew they were the photographers we wanted. Our engagement pictures turned out beautiful... I am not a photogenic person and they made me look like a model :) We had a huge wedding party.. that was not so easy to work with but Gary and Shannon totally rocked it.. We have got some awesome pictures so far. They are well worth the money!! I promise!! And our love story slide show!! I LOVE!!

These two are wonderful, Shannon and Gary were great to work with. We were able to find them through a referral, which we are happy. They communicated with us right away through email, and set up an interview season on facetime since we were a couple house away. Facetime was funny and didn't work how anyone planned but it was the first time we were able to see their wonderful sense of humor. Shannon gave us homework which helped us as we planned the wedding, making a schedule was the hardest thing to do but the most helpful. They keep in contact with us through email, and a couple days before by phone. They drove to our amazing wedding venue and captured the best photos. They were great in entertaining the family that keep asking them questions, and also dancing when my folks told them it was their turn. They made our day special and captured who we are as a couple and individuals. They even worked around a ill groom, allowing time to sit and rest. They are great people and I would recommend anyone to use their photography, do what they ask and take their suggestions because they know what they are doing.

I don't even know where to begin! Gary and Shannon are the BEST photographers! They were so great to work with and they take beautiful pictures. Photography was our #1 priority for our wedding because we wanted to make sure we had memories of our perfect day, and boy did they deliver! I don't even know how we are going to choose which pictures to print for display. We will definitely be using them for other photo shoots in the future!

Gary and Shannon Love are two of the most amazing people in the world! They worked with my now husband and me so flawlessly and were so open to what we wanted in both our engagement and wedding photos. From the very first time we met them for coffee just to talk about pricing and availability, we knew it was meant to be (we thought we were "shopping around," but who were we kidding?)!

When we did our engagement shoot, we had the best time getting to know the Loves. They drove us up to the mountains just so we could take our photos in the snow, and it was perfect! These two are the most accommodating and adventurous photographers we could have chosen!

Both Gary and Shannon were responsive to emails, phone calls, and text messages to help us as our wedding day fast approached, and on the day of, they both melded in seamlessly with our families and friends. I got so many compliments on our photos when I posted them for friends and family to see! They loved how Gary and Shannon got into the "nooks and crannies" of the day, so to speak, and took the pictures you would hope someone got without knowing if anyone actually did.

I can now say that my husband and I have found our FOREVER photographers and will be calling them for any future photographic needs! I have recommended them to everyone I can and will continue to do so! Thanks so much to the Loves for helping us make our wedding the best day of our lives!

Shannon & Gary are THE BEST VENDORS that we could have asked for!
We live on the East Coast and got married in WA State. A really big concern for us was quality of service and professionalism. We were very skeptical of hiring vendors over the phone or email without meeting them first. We spoke with Shannon and absolutely fell in love. We really didn't even look at their body of work - we just loved the vibe of them! We went with our gut feeling & decided to hire them.
About 6 months later, we had all of our final meetings back in WA & met with just Shannon for coffee. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. She was beyond flexible with us and was really helpful on guiding us through what would be the best options for our venue and style. I know that we left that meeting feeling like we made the right decision and we felt like they were the kindest souls that we wanted surrounding us on our wedding day.
Fast forward to the wedding day and it was very chaotic. Shannon did a really sweet job of helping me keep calm and reminding me that it would all pass quickly. It did rain, and I did slightly get overwhelmed but again, Shannon helped me calm down and focus on the bigger picture. Looking back on it, I don't think I could have made it without her!
Once we got to our first look, life was literally perfect. We got to spend about an hour together and it was the most magical hour of our day. We had a ton of intimate moments and they really let us just be us. We really didn't want a ton of posing or really fake photos. They let us laugh, even when it probably wasn't the best angle. They let us kiss, even when it probably wasn't the best "shot". They just let us be us. I was really impressed by the way that they let us be. We got some AMAZING shots and candids! I just couldn't believe the way that they used the lighting and colors throughout the venue. THANK YOU SHANNON AND GARY!! You guys were part of the DREAM VENDOR TEAM & we LOVE YOU!!

Quality: they are extremely good at taking pictures. They know how to give clear instructions on poses and they are REALLY good at spotting beautiful locations for the background. They know exactly what they are doing, and in fact, at times they even helped out with small details of the wedding (like communicating information to point person) and made the whole wedding run smoothly.
Responsiveness: Shannon ALWAYS email back to my questions right away. They also respond with phone calls and texts, which is a plus. They are very quick on their feet, which is important because when taking pictures, the environment doesn't always go the way we want it to. They were able to think fast and come up with solutions so the pictures turn out perfect.
Professionalism: Shannon and Gary were always all smiles. One of the best things I like about them is that they gave "homework" prior to the wedding. We worked through the timeline, the personnel needed for different photoshoots (bride and groom, wedding party, family formal pictures), which actually helped me A LOT with my own planning, as well as making things run smoothly during the day.
Value: the pictures are simply beautiful. One of the comments I got from a family friend who's gone to many weddings was that Love Photography knew how to capture our personality as a couple, and the pictures were all very creative, not poses that we see over and over again on Pintrest. Additionally, the photo package we received in the mail was definitely a great surprise. I don't want to spoil the surprise for you, but the package had some pretty awesome, thoughtful, and beautiful things inside.
Flexibility: On the day of the wedding, we actually had a hiccup on rides to the picture location (it was not their fault, but I simply didn't communicate well). Shannon quickly called Gary and we were able to do car swaps between them. If they weren't flexible, we wouldn't had been able stay to our timeline!

Gary & Shannon Love far surpassed our expectations for photographers. From the engagement photos to the ceremony we were always pleased with their work. You are with your photographers for a large part of you wedding day, and we were so happy to have had Gary & Shannon. Not only are they extremely fun to be around, but they are very organized and know how to keep things moving. They had the most amazing photos of our guests dancing, and captured every moment; even my husband ripping his pants mid-air while doing the splits with the sunset in the background. I couldn't believe how many photos they took when we received our flash drive. They are extremely creative and everything they do is personalized. You will be amazed by them I can guarantee it. We never had any stresses about anything photography related because they were so on top of everything. After the wedding I had multiple guests tell me how much they loved our photographers. We Love LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY!

Gary and Shannon did a fantastic job of making everyone feel comfortable and happy, even our two year old flower girl was smitten. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier with our pictures and overall experience.

We had such a great experience with Gary and Shannon Love. They were professional, reliable and went above and beyond for our special day. The pictures were amazing! They didn't miss a beat. Shannon took time out of her schedule the day before the wedding to help find a perfect location for our sunset photos. We are so glad we chose Love Photography. This past weekend we enjoyed running into them again at my best friends wedding. We would recommend their services to anyone. They are worth every penny.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
