Professional who delivers AMAZING photos

Glenn took photos for my April wedding. They turned out amazing and I hate to admit it, but looking at the photos made all the wedding stress worth it. During the wedding day, he really helped me calm down by being early, engaged, and asking what he can help with. He is a true professional who delivered amazing photos. He was able to provide a contract that was clear and concise with succinct payment plans and pricing. He is very honest and will make sure he understands what you need. You can check out the photos of our wedding on his gallery. He is very nice and will make everyone comfortable. I truly could not ask for a better photographer.

You GO Glenn

I can't say enough about Glenn and Pink Penguin Studios, our wedding photographer in Wilmington, NC. From the moment we met him, we knew our special day was in the hands of a true professional and a dear friend.

Wedding planning can be a whirlwind of emotions, but with Glenn on our team, the stress seemed to melt away. He treated our wedding like a work of art, paying attention to every detail, ensuring that our day was nothing short of luxurious. His passion for photography was infectious, and his ability to capture the essence of our love story was nothing short of magical.

What truly sets Glenn apart is his knack for making you feel at ease. Our wedding day was full of unexpected moments, but Glenn's calming presence was a beacon of reassurance. He effortlessly coordinated with us and other vendors, making sure everything flowed smoothly. It was like having a trusted friend by our side.

The quality of Glenn's work is top-notch, but it's the personal touch he adds that makes it truly remarkable. He captured not just images but memories, freezing in time the laughter, tears, and love that filled our day. His artistic eye gave our photos a touch of enchantment, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Glenn at Pink Penguin Studios is not just a photographer; he's a storyteller, a friend, and an artist who will turn your wedding day into an unforgettable, stress-free, and luxurious experience. When you choose Glenn, you're not just getting a photographer; you're gaining a cherished ally who will make your special day truly magical!

Glenn is a gem!

Glenn was an absolute pleasure to work with! He is so positive and has such great energy! In a day that flew by and felt hectic most of the times (our wedding), Glenn was the easiest and most fun vendor we worked with! We also received the pictures and they look amazing! We could not be happier with how they came out. Would highly recommend for weddings or other events.

WOW! You need Glenn on your team!

Wow, all I can say is that Glenn Guiao with Pink Penguin Studios is probably the best photographer in the South West region.

Looking through his galleries online, I was already impressed - but then when I got the photos I was absolutely stunned! The attention to detail in his photos stands out! I would totally recommend his photography skills if you are looking for a unique blend of creativity and atmosphere.

Did I mention was great to work with the day-of? He worked well with the vendors and even helped to make sure everything ran smoothly. What else can you ask for from your wedding vendors? You totally need Pink Penguin studios on your team!

Awesome photographer with strong artistic sensibilities!

My fiance and I have had a wonderful experience working with Glenn so far. We booked a package that includes wedding photos and an engagement shoot and met with him for our engagement shoot in early October. We really wanted to do a shoot in nature since camping is really important to us and Glenn recommended a beautiful location at the Tibble Fork Reserve. We were both feeling a bit nervous/awkward about a photo shoot because neither of us are super photogenic, but Glenn put us immediately at ease and made the whole process effortless and fun. In particular, we really appreciated how he made an effort to get to know us and our story, and how that seemed to inform his work quite a bit. We really liked hearing his story as well.

Our photos look amazing! As someone who's studied artistic composition from an art history perspective, it's clear that Glenn has a deep knowledge of photography as art form, rather than simply as an Instagram trend or business venture. This was clear from both talking to him and seeing him work.

We are so excited to have Glenn photograph our wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a good photographer in Utah or any of the other markets in which he's currently working!

Glenn was very discrete during the ceremony. He knew how to place his subject in such a limited environment . He blended into the party. Very polite and friendly

Marvelous!!!

OMG I don’t even know where to start, I’m so grateful for finding Glenn looking in the website for our wedding photographer, first Glenn answered every question rapidly, he always kept in touch with us, our wedding wasn’t a traditional wedding and we decided to have a photo shoot on the strip, sounds easy and many places offer photo shoots on the strip but the hard part was finding someone who accepts to photo shoot our wedding with our 22 guests in the strip, our ceremony was in the suite, our dinner at Cosmo and we ended the night on a party bus with our whole crew, Glenn join us every moment everywhere, he is a very nice and cool guy and make everyone feel comfortable taking lots of pictures, everybody enjoyed posing and we even had fun while he photograph us, next day for surprise of everyone he had our pictures ready to be share, in a nice link and he categorized them into separate folders for each location we visited, wonderful memories, and the price is very affordable and we get way more value that the money we paid. He will be our family photographer for sure, highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
