I can't say enough great and positive things about Gabe and Jaci!! They were so amazing and took the BEST photos. When looking at all our wedding photos, it doesn't seem like we're looking at a bunch of wedding pictures. It totally feels like we are looking at our special day through a story Gabe and Jaci created. Every photo looks so magical and natural - I am still in shock with how amazing they turned out! Gabe was so detailed and on top of everything; he made planning and the day of so easy and relaxed. He even helped rally all the guys so we could get started! As my husband said, "Gabe's the man!!". I am so glad we went with Van Wyhe Photography - our wedding photos are something we will cherish forever. Thank you so much Gabe and Jaci for being part of our day! Looking forward to taking more pictures in the future :)

We hired Gabriel and Jaci for our recent wedding. At first, we went to him based solely on his shooting style but after meeting with him, we realized just how important personality would be for our big day. From that first meeting with Gabriel, we were impressed with his helpfulness and professionalism. You can tell he knows his stuff!

We purchased a package that came with an engagement session and wedding photo booth. We couldn't be happier with our engagement shoot! Everyone who has seen them has been nothing but complimentary. We have not received our wedding day pictures yet but I am positive they'll be everything we hoped for. Our package also came with a photo album and Gabriel was really helpful about picking out exactly what we wanted that to look like.

I can't tell you how many horror stories I have heard about wedding day photographers just completely dropping the ball. And if that happens on your wedding day, there's no do-over. Gabriel and Jaci went above and beyond my expectations! They coordinated with our other vendors perfectly and helped make sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a professional photographer. I can't wait to see our wedding day shots!

Van Wyhe Photography was recommended to my husband and me through a friend and we are so happy we selected them for our wedding. Gabe is so knowledgeable and professional it was truly a great experience working with him. On our wedding day Gabe and his second shooter Tim were on time and began right away. They were there to capture all the great moments and had wonderful ideas for different shots, we didn’t let the rainy October afternoon stop us! Our guests also really enjoyed both of them and had a lot of fun at the photo booth.

Gabriel is AMAZING! I could not say enough wonderful things about Gabriel and Van Wyhe photography! He is truly worth every penny! His professionalism was evident throughout the entire process - he really does know what he is doing. Meeting with him in preparation for the wedding was always fun and comfortable, and on the wedding day I was just so impressed at how he handled everything! Always checking his camera to make sure lighting and everything was looking the way he wanted. We also had a huge amount of family to manage during family formal photos and he knew exactly how to guide that many people around for each photo! He was just a dream to work with and really enhanced my own experience of my day! And of course our photos are just STUNNING! I truly could not be more happy with the outcome. He is on the more expensive side of photographers, but if you value these photos you will keep forever then like I said, worth every penny! I HIGHLY recommend him!!

Gabriel was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional while also being fun and energetic on our wedding day. Leading up to our wedding Gabriel was always easy to get a hold of and during calls brought up things that we never even thought about, to say he was a help during planning is an understatement. We received our photo booth photos the day after our wedding and the full wedding photos about 2 months. He states the date you will get your photos in his contract and delivered them on time, which was relieving for us to know exactly when we would be getting them and never having to follow up to ask about the status. The photo quality was above our expectations. The hardest part now is choosing our favorites! I would recommend Gabriel any day.

The Van Wyhes did an amazing job in capturing our wedding day! Gabe made sure to capture every shot we requested in advance and was great at making sure that we didn't forget anyone that we mentioned in advance.
I specifically appreciated Gabe's attention to detail...his level of experience and professionalism shown through in every shot!
Thank you Gabe! We appreciate the work you and your wife did to capture our whole day!

I used Van Wyhe photography for my late spring wedding this year. They did a fantastic job! I love the photos I received. I used them for a couple pre wedding shoots and my wedding.

Gabriel made sure to follow up and checked to see if all my needs were met. During the wedding, both Gabriel and Jaci were so accommodating and made the day so much better when minor chaos went on. The photo booth was so much fun. We didn't expect it to be that popular since the majority of our wedding guests were older family members. They made everyone feel comfortable. The photos are funny to look back at.

The only con would be that the photos took two months to be processed, which was completely understandable. We were forewarned way ahead of time and it was listed on the contract. I was just anxious to see the photos but willing to wait for better quality. They're popular and extremely busy during the summer. That being said, Gabriel was still easy to contact and kept me updated even before I asked.

I would HIGHLY recommend them. The pictures speak for themselves!!

P.S. Gabriel was awesome, but I did want to note how awesome Jaci was as well. For those that may worry on the quality of the second shooter, I was completely satisfied with Jaci's work. :) Definitely recommend having a second shooter based on our experience.

Gabe is absolutely wonderful and made our whole wedding day such a breeze! I really couldn't imagine having a different wedding photographer. He was so easy to work with and made sure to sit down with us and plan out each stage of the day. He also made me and my now husband just feel so valued all along the way, even remembering us when he shot a friend of ours' wedding! The best part of working with Gabe was how easy he made our wedding day flow though! He helped us create a day of schedule and made sure we were on time to each thing, taking pictures all along the way. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease working with him, and not to mention his pictures are always gorgeous! Couldn't of been more satisfied with our wedding photography, and we are always recommending Gabe to people we know! Gabe's services are worth every penny!

Gabriel's demeanor and professionalism is second to none!

To start off, his equipment and products come with backup plans and insurance, and he sends a helpful gift! It rained during our outdoor photo session and ceremony and he was always smiling, always cheerful, always calm, even when guests misbehave. He even stayed later than required so that he could capture every moment =).

Thank you Gabriel!

There is something to be said about a person who can magnificently capture that one special day, one in which to date, is the best day on the planet for my husband and I...and who can literally make the most epic photos from it. Photos that we get to show off everywhere to our friends and loved ones for the rest of our lives. We truly picked and could not be more happier with our pick with Gabriel for our photographer. Him and his wife are an amazing team and the talent behind Van Wyhe Photography is beyond amazing. There are so many more chapters in our lives to come and I can't wait to have him capture all those special moments for us in our future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to work with Gabe and Jaci of Van Whye Photography and they were a delight to work with! From the beginning of the planning process, Gabe was easy to work with on finalizing the photo timeline and ensuring that we had all our ducks in a row! On the day of the wedding I new my clients were in good hands and I wouldn't need to worry if photos were going all right as I was off at the venue setting up while they were offsite capturing getting ready photos and the couples first glance. During the ceremony and reception Van Why Photography made sure to capture each detail and touch base with me to see if they had gotten everything needed. I am excited to have a new photography team added to my referral list!

Gabriel has a fanTAStic eye for great shots in a more photojournalistic style, which is my personal preference. We still use several of my favorite shots of our venue in our advertising, and I am proud to enthusiastically refer my brides to him and his wife!
