⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review

Orrie is AMAZING and exceeded my expectations. We rented a photo mirror booth from him for our wedding and it was a HIT. Orrie definitely knows how to entertain guests and made our night extra special. I would recommend him to ANYONE and was such a pleasure working with him

Wedding/Reception

We had a small intimate wedding at our house followed by dinner at Lemaire (The Jefferson). By looking at our pictures, one would think we had a royal wedding. Our pictures were so professional and creative! Orrie is very talented and gifted in the art of photography and his work is proof. I am very happy with our final photos and we’ve even decided to order additional products. Orrie was wonderful to work with, very personable and seemed more like part of the family than one of our vendors. My husband and I have three unmarried sons and we can’t wait for one of them to get married so we can work with Orrie again! We will take care of their photography as a gift. I hope this review helps someone to choose a photographer with an eye for detail to capture all of the things you will more than likely miss on your special day! Choose Orrie, you’ll be pleased.

Orrie was the best decision we made for our wedding! Orrie has been the most incredible photographer to work with. He made our engagement pictures and wedding day so special. His professionalism and expertise made us comfortable during an emotional time and I trust him with documenting any special event. We highly recommend him and his services!

We also used his new photo mirror it was so fun and you get the pictures texted right to your phone.

I feel so lucky that we found Orrie and he was there!

Orrie really knocked it out of the park for us! He has a beautiful personality and is truly working above and beyond during your entire event to capture every moment you want to preserve (even ones you hadn't thought of yourself!). He is very kind and has a wonderful passion for his art and we couldn't have been happier to work with him! Thank you Orrie for capturing our special day!

Orrie was amazing! He and Mike were there from start to finish; at the hotel in the morning while beautification was going on to the after party in the hotel bar! I never knew how much to get to know your photographer during your big day, so it's important you love them! Orrie was a blast! One of my guests even told me they saw him trying to teach my mom how to wobble!!! He was truly there to make the day perfect, not just to take pictures. You know your photographer was great when they tell you how great he is before they even see the pictures!

Wow. Orrie Gaines Photography did a wonderful job. Mr. Gaines himself was our photographer and he was more than we could have asked for. He was professional, polite, punctual, and present. He made us and our bridal party feel very comfortable and captured moments that are now so special to us. Thank you for your service and quality.

Orrie did an amazing job for our special day as well as my bridal portrait! He was so patient and professional. I asked him to capture us before the ceremony so that we could have beautiful candids of everyone getting ready. And he did just that! I would recommend Mr Gaines to any future bride to be!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
