    Gary is worth every penny

    Working with Gary was by far the easiest and most stress free part of the whole wedding process. He made things easy from the first conversation. He cares a lot about making sure he captures what is most important to you as a couple. He really takes time to get to know you. He’s kind and patient and genuinely wants your wedding day to be special. He is on time and an absolutely professional. My grandmother made a point to mention that she never even noticed photographers at our wedding. He was flexible and had a back up plan for everything. The pictures were beyond my expectations. He captured it all and more. Gary is worth the investment.

    Capturing Moments, Celebrating Cultures: A wedding tea ceremony with Gary Lun Photography

    Working with Gary for our multicultural Wedding Tea Ceremony Banquet was truly a delightful experience. From our initial meeting, his professionalism and understanding of our vision were evident.

    Our engagement shoot showcased Gary's skill and attention to detail. He proactively familiarized himself with our preferences well ahead of the shoot, ensuring each frame was thoughtfully composed, leveraging the natural environment and ambient lighting to its fullest. His pre-shoot guidance was instrumental in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience, resulting in photos that not only met but surpassed our expectations, beautifully encapsulating our personalities and generating excitement for our wedding day.

    On the wedding day, Gary's adaptability and discerning eye shone through. He adeptly captured both poignant moments and festive celebrations, ensuring every aspect of our day was documented beautifully. His attention to detail was evident in capturing significant elements. Despite a demanding list of family photos, Gary navigated through them seamlessly, delivering impeccable results. His proficiency in Mandarin and Cantonese further enhanced the experience, creating a welcoming atmosphere for our family and guests.

    What sets Gary apart from other photographers is his unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service, genuine passion for photography, and dedication to understanding his subjects. His clarity in communication and meticulous approach make the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for his invaluable contribution to our special day and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a photographer who truly captures the essence of their celebration. And an extra special commendation to couples who want to include nuances of a Chinese tea ceremony; Gary is experienced and exceptional!

    A delight to work with!

    We worked with Gary for our September wedding, and he was AMAZING.

    Wedding photography is so important, and we 100% recommend Gary! He is an extremely organized, experienced, timely, and warm person.

    In the months leading up to the wedding, he met with us multiple times (virtually, as we live out of state) to get an idea of who we are as a couple and what types of photos we wanted. He also had us complete detailed questionnaires, which helped us think through the important elements of the day. About a month before the wedding, he walked us through the photography timeline. He even suggested things to make the day go more smoothly. And checked in on us the days leading up!

    On the day of, he arrived early and was very kind to our wedding party and guests. Our 5-year-old nephew followed Gary around all day trying to be an assistant photographer (LOL!), so we thank him for being extra accommodating.

    Gary helped pose our wedding party to capture gorgeous photos. For the rest of the evening, he was there to capture many of our candid moments.

    We received preview photos the day after the wedding (SO FAST!), and they were stunning. We're so happy we got him as our wedding photographer.

    Gary is a true professional. He was more than just our photographer, he was our hype man! :) We would definitely work with him again!

    One of the best vendor decisions you will make!

    We LOVED having Gary as our photographer! Easily one of the best decisions we made for our special day. Gary struck the perfect balance between sharing ideas / experience and listening to what we wanted. He was also very professional and consistently met or exceeded his timelines for delivering pictures. We had multiple guests tell us how much they enjoyed meeting Gary and seeing his beautiful pictures and we could not agree more!

    Gary is the one!

    First of all, Gary is the most kindest human being we have met in a long time. He is such a pleasure to work with, which is very important to us. The chemistry between Gary and our couple was phenomenal and he made us feel comfortable to stand in front of the camera. Gary is organized, easy to communicate with, and his work is absolutely stunning. We never had to stress over working with or communicating with Gary, which definitely took a lot off our plate during the busy time preparing for the wedding. We did both our engagement session and wedding with Gary and it was the best decision we ever made! Even other vendors who has worked with Gary previously could not stop going on about how kind and great Gary was! We could not have asked for a better photographer and we highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a photographer to capture your big day!

    Perfect shots for our wedding!

    Gary is by far the best photographer, we’ve had the chance to work with. He was patient with our big family, and went above and beyond to get all the shots that we wanted. He coached us as we weren’t used to taking portraits and was very friendly and professional! We highly recommend him for any of your future events!

    Engagement Shoot Photography

    My fiancé and I were so happy we chose Gary as our engagement shoot photographer. He was extremely communicative, punctual, reliable, flexible, talented and all around a pleasure to work with. We felt really comfortable with Gary throughout our shoot and he captured some gorgeous photos we will treasure for a lifetime. I'd highly recommend Gary as your photographer!

    Phenomenal

    Gary is a phenomenal photographer and did an amazing job capturing our wedding! He is incredibly professional, immpecably organized, and a facile communicator: it all truly shows in his final product. He is easy to work with, from the engagement shoot, to the wedding timeline, and scheduling, to the first look and the main event; everything went perfectly. As one of the most important vendors involved in our big day, we can't overemphasize how glad we were to have a photographer that we could really and fully trust. This is now the second wedding in our family that Gary has photographed. We cannot recommend Gary highly enough.

    Friendly and Flexible

    Gary did a fantastic job! He is very detail oriented and plans ahead. Gary walked through the wedding timelines with us over Skype to plan out which photos we wanted. Gary was professional the day of the wedding and had great ideas for lighting and poses.

    Terrific Experience with Gary

    I highly recommend Gary for anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer. As a photographer he is extremely skilled, and my wife and I are so pleased with all of his work.

    However, Gary also helped keep us organized and on point. He scheduled multiple check-in calls with us to ensure everything was appropriately planned. He created an itinerary that we consulted frequently during our wedding planning.

    On wedding day he was happy to assist with anything else my wife and I needed, and he was extremely communicative throughout. He is an absolute professional and we feel extremely fortunate to have been able to use him as our photographer.

    Amazing photographer with great skills!

    One of our engagement photos from a photo session with Gary WON the International Wedding Photography Award! Congratulations on winning Gary! We were absolutely amazed and extremely thankful that he allowed us to pick two locations (Minnehaha Falls and Kaya Vineyards) for an engagement photo session that we won.

    He is extremely friendly, very easy going and an amazingly skilled photographer! We received our photos in 2 weeks and we absolutely loved all of the photos!

    A Truly Invested Professional

    My fiance and I are so pleased to have met Gary Lun. As searching for both an engagement and wedding photographer was a first experience for the two of us, we were fortunate to have found Gary. Mr. Lun showed sincere interest in our wishes from the start, and even shared his creativity to assist us in creating a great experience. Gary provided a tremendous product in our engagement photos, and we look forward to recommending him to our friends. Thank you, Gary!

    Awesome Photographer!

    Gary's a really great guy! He's extremely responsive and communicated with us before, during and after our engagement session. This was our first professional photoshoot together and the pictures were beautiful! I love the light and natural editing. Not to mention he surprised us with our photos ahead of the timeframe originally given. We can't wait to have him at our wedding next summer!

    Authentic and creative

    I almost cried when I saw our engagement photos, I couldn’t believe how good the photos looked and how happy and natural we looked in them. Gary is super chill and puts you right at ease. He offers lots of ideas and helpful direction during photo shoots, but he’s also very open-minded about trying your ideas too. Overall he’s a pleasant and professional person to work with, and you will love your photos.

    AMAZING photographer!!

    Gary was so professional and easy to work with. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot! He’s very knowledgeable about what shots to get and what poses to use. He also helped us so much before the photo shoot with picking locations and giving tips and advice. He’s very responsive! Our engagement pictures turned out absolutely beautiful!

    Highly Recommend!

    Gary was the absolute perfect addition to our wedding day!! From our first call with him, my husband and I knew he was the right choice. His personality and work ethic are only surpassed by the incredible photos he takes. My husband has never been a huge fan of getting his photo taken but Gary was so easy to work with that he was able to bring our personality out and capture it on film. Our engagement shoot was our first time meeting him in person and right away we knew he cared just as much as we did about getting these special photos right. That carried through the last moments of our wedding and he has continued to impress us even just seeing the sneak peeks!! We hope to work with him again for other life events and I highly recommend him to any bride looking for a photographer that they can fully trust.

    Best Photographer

    We chose the best photographer on our wedding day! His pictures are stunning! He did our engagement pictures as well and they were gorgeous and got us even more excited for the wedding. Gary is very professional and responsive. He made sure we were the right fit from the beginning. He made us feel at ease. But in addition to his talent, he also brings his great personality to your wedding day. He was fun to spend time with all day and I really appreciate how he went above and beyond to make my wedding day great! Could not ask for a better wedding photographer!

    Look no further - hire Gary as your wedding photographer!

    I highly recommend Gary as a wedding photographer!! Out of all the vendors I worked with for my wedding, Gary was the most proactive and communicative and he goes the extra mile to deliver high quality photos for you. I live in San Francisco and got married in Atlanta, so having that extra communication was extremely helpful for an anxious person like me that was planning from afar.

    During our engagement sessions, my husband and I weren't sure of how to pose so Gary helped us figure out poses that looked natural and turned out well! Despite being rained on, having ants crawl into our shoes, and strong winds, Gary made it work and still got great shots. Gary also gave us a lot of extra photos than he usually does for both our wedding and the engagement photos, which was a pleasant surprise for us! I was in love with so many of our photos from our wedding both from candid and non-candid shots - the pictures turned out really clear and bright despite it being a cloudy day. He's also sending us a few courtesy print out photos, which I can't wait to receive.

    You get a really great bang for your buck with Gary and I'm recommending him to my friends who are getting married in Atlanta.

    Gary is an excellent photographer!

    Gary Lun is an excellent photographer. My husband is a photographer himself - and as you might guess from a fellow professional - very picky about other photographers that he likes. Gary was on a short list of just 3 wedding photographers that my husband liked their portfolios.

    Working with Gary was great - before, during, and after! He told us up front what to expect, gave us some "homework" which helped him ensure that he got the shots we wanted. Gary is a kind, easy going man - which made it easy to work with him the day of the wedding. Post wedding, Gary posted "preview" photos on Facebook - and finished processing the rest of the photos by his stated delivery date.

    My husband and I were thrilled at the quality of photos that we got on our wedding day. Gary is worth every penny!

    Bonus tip: make sure you like Gary's Facebook page - that's where he posted our wedding preview photos!

    He is Friendly, Professional and a nice guy who knows what he is doing. He listens, advise and enhance your ideas. Shows up early and even willing to stay a little longer. You may get exhausted but Gary won't.

    Best wedding photographer ever

    I am writing this review so late (my wedding was in July 2019), but we absolutely loved Gary! From our initial call we knew he was the one. Gary was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful and had such a calming presence on the big day. My day started out terribly because my hair and makeup stylists were late so I wasn't able to get cute pj pictures with my girls all ready and get some of the group pictures out of the way, but that didn't phase Gary. He told me it was going to be ok and proceeded to take what ended up to be some of my most favorite pictures. His attention to detail is amazing and his creativity is astounding. Him and his assistant were better than we had ever dreamed of and more. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone! He will not only be a great photographer for your special day, but he will also be a great friend to have there.

    best wedding photographer around!

    Working with Gary was an absolutely wonderful experience! He’s incredibly knowledgeable with his art and very creative. He’s very kind and was happy to take any ideas. I wanted a sparkler exit picture but couldn’t have them at our venue, he made sure my dream came true on our wedding day by just walking Across the street, I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Without a doubt for any other events or photography needs Gary will always be our first choice.
