Wedding review
Gary was such a great photographer to work with. He was so helpful and went above and beyond with his service. We had a pretty big rain storm on our wedding day and he still showed up and made the best out of the situation, he even still found great places to take photos outside. My family is English speaking while my husband’s family speaks Chinese, Gary did a great job as he was able to communicate in both languages. Overall we are very happy with our experience and definitely recommend him! We hope to use his services again in the future. -

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! -

Best photographer - book him right now!
Gary is a FANTASTIC photographer. He captured our personality and knew where and when to get the lighting and angles just right. We didn’t know what we were doing, and he was very helpful in guiding us how to pose and move. He is very personable and the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. He captured everything perfectly and I can’t stop looking at the pictures! I highly recommend him and we are so glad we chose Gary as our photographer for our best day ever!-

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! -

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. -

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! -

Gary is an Excellent Photographer!
We would recommend Gary to anyone looking for a wedding, engagement, or event photographer. He is not only a wonderful person, but a master of his craft. He was very easy and personable to work with and made the photoshoot process simple and fun! I could go on and on about his work, but his portfolio speaks for itself.-

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!

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! -

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! -

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! -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Awesome - could not have asked for a better experience!
We were searching for a photographer for our wedding. We tried many websites but were not sure about what we wanted. I came across Gary Lun’s website after searching for a photographer in Johns Creek, GA. We made a phone call and met with him. We knew he was our photographer immediately. He lives in our area, was very familiar with our venue and reasonably priced. Our wedding guests even made comments about the number of photos he took at the wedding and reception. He delivered our photos to us two weeks earlier than expected and we were more than happy with our photos. Thanks for everything Gary! -

Amazing experience!
I really loved working with Gary! First impressions are everything and Gary left a very favorable first impression.
He was referred to me by a photographer that I originally wanted to hire but was not available during my wedding date.
Gary responded to my email almost immediately. We set up a Skype session where we chatted face-to-face and got to know each other a little better. So the reasons why I chose him:
1) He's a good listener and pays attention
2) He offered options to "earn" my business, despite the fact that I was on a tight budget
3) He has a passion for photography and telling the story
4) He wasn't "obnoxious" as my pastor would say.
5) He spoke Chinese and English. I could see him building a good working relationship with my family members, taking a lot of the stress off of me as the bride
6) He understood the challenges of having a fiancee who didn't like to be photographed, and tried to work around it. I was impressed at how many good candid photos he got of my groom.
7) Very reasonably priced printed albums. I didn't decide to purchase the album until just before the wedding. I don't regret that decision one bit. Gary's editorial style is evident in how he helped me narrow down the photos. I wanted to include more photos than the album could allow and ultimately I just said "Gary, these are the ones I like, feel free to edit."
A few other thoughts worth noting: Our wedding was small, and we didn't have a lot of special moments to capture (e.g. bouquet toss, first dance, garter toss), so in some ways, I felt bad for Gary, because he didn't have a lot of material to work with. In hindsight, I should have been a little more careful in picking a wedding venue that had better angels for him to work with (e.g. church located across the street from the US post office, resulting in the US post office in the background). So I certainly learned that the photographs are only as beautiful as the surroundings you choose, and it's enhanced by the photographer who shoots the wedding. I was never really a bridezilla, so for those of you who are more like me (i.e. don't always have a clear vision of what you want), look online and find types of photos you do want. This will help your photographer (no matter who you choose) to capture certain angles/poses. My one regret was not specifying having a full body shot of my wedding dress with the train fluffed out.
So fast forward a few months... I got my wedding album (yay!) and we are reliving our wedding day, all thanks to Gary. My self-proclaimed "non-photogenic" husband loves the photos and really had nothing but kind words regarding Gary and his work. Even my hard to please Chinese mom loved Gary (and a happy mom made for a happy bride)! Thanks Gary for sharing and capturing our special day! :) -

Choosing Gary Lun Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions that I made during this planning process! I reached out to Gary based on his reviews and his amazing photos. And I am so glad that I did. Not only are Gary’s photos simply breathtaking but he is committed to the best possible client/photographer relationship. He knows the importance of fostering a trusting environment between the two and how it positively impacts capturing those precious moments. During a day, like your wedding, where things can get hectic, it was so reassuring to have Gary’s calm yet joyful presence. I didn’t have a single doubt that he would capture our day beautifully and after viewing the photos, I was right. They are simply incredible and we couldn’t be any happier with the results!

I am so happy we chose Gary Lun photography for our wedding. From our first consultation over FaceTime we knew it was the right decision. Gary was so professional from the beginning of the process until our wedding day and always timely with communication. On the day of the wedding, he and his second photographer Renee showed up way earlier than expected to start photos. Seriously, who does that?! I was so appreciative! The entire wedding party was amazed at how efficient he was. On top of his professionalism, he has such a warm and welcoming personality and truly was just a pleasure to work with. The photos I’ve seen so far are beautiful and I’m excited to see them all. Thanks again Gary!!! -

Gary and his crew were wonderful. He captured all the precious moments and I couldn't be happier with the quality of his work. I got more pictures than I had expected and multiples to choose from for almost the events of the day. They were able to get every shot we wanted and no intrusive throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Gary in the future. -

It truly was a pleasure to work with Gary Lun for our wedding photography! He was very structured (which, if you are planning this chaotic thing called a wedding, you probably would sympathize with how much of a blessing this is), punctual, fun to work with, accommodating, and very reasonably priced. Before the wedding, Gary made sure to write down all the photos we would need and want. He also went through how the day would unfold so that we would be comfortable with it. On the day of, he and his assistant did an amazing job running all around the venue and getting all of the photos perfectly captured for the day. The post process wasn't very long and we are very happy with how the pictures turned out.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Gary's services to any other bride who might need a photography in Atlanta :) -

We LOVED working with Gary! He did both our engagement and wedding day photography. His photos are absolutely stunning!! Gary did a fabulous job capturing our personalities in his photography and really made it personal to us. He is so kind and his down-to-earth personality really put us both at ease. Not only is Gary wonderful but his wife, Melonie, is a super-hero. She calmly stitched a button that had popped off the back of my wedding dress, just minutes before the ceremony, when everyone else was too stressed to do it. It’s things like this that demonstrate how Gary Lun Photography goes above and beyond to make sure that your big day is wonderful and captured perfectly! -

Gary was an easy choice for me from day one. He was super professional and nice and genuinely interested in our big day. With our tight budget i was opting out of taking engagement photos, but I'm glad we did! They turned out great and he helped us out with poses and everything. I can't wait for him to capture our big day, I'm sure we'll be happy with the photos for years to come! -

Gary deserves 6 stars on all the categories, to be honest. He did a phenomenal job on both our engagement session and our wedding. He was extremely responsive and accommodating and has given us fantastic photographs which will make amazing memories for the rest of our lives. The cost was an exceptional value. For the quality and service that Gary provides, he is in a league of his own. Talk with him and book him. It will be one of the best decisions you make! -

Gary took our engagement pictures! Gary is such a nice person, and working with him is so relax and smooth. He gets fully prepared for the photo shooting. He listened to what we want and gave a lot great suggestions. My husband never smile to the camera, he gets nervous whenever the lens is focus on him. However, when we got our pictures, i was so surprised that he was smiling in our engagement pics, not just one or two photos, but plenty! In several of them, he was caught laughing so happily in front of the camera! Not sure how Gary managed to do that. How amazing! Both my husband and myself LOOOOOOVE our engagement pictures! We printed out some of our photos in big size and displayed them on our wedding reception. We got so many compliments and some of our friends said those are most nature engagement pictures they've even seen and they can feel the happiness from the pictures! I highly recommend Gary to whomever is looking for a great photographer! -

We had so much fun going out and shooting with Gary. He is the very definition of professional and is very, very personable. His guidance and vision led to some really great photos and best of all everyone involved had a blast. If you're thinking about getting Gary to cover your event or family photos, stop reading the review and go ahead and book with him. You won't regret it! -

It's always a pleasure working with Gary and his team. He is very professional, has an eye for capturing the perfect shot, and truly enjoys working with brides and grooms. Gary, recently photographed a holiday event for me and he did a phenomenal job capturing the details of the event...everything from the decor to candid shots of the guest. The images turned out beautiful! I look forward to working with him again in the near future. -

Gary is not only a great photographer, he's also an incredibly sweet person to know. Our engagement session was such a great aDveNtuRe. We took Gary to a new park that he was not familiar with and let's just say that we all had a BLAST exploring it. He was so open to new ideas and could really understand what I had in mind. He took his time with us, was honest and had his lovely wife to help with the setting (she's awesome!) which helped to have a women around to rearrange my hair or share stories with. It really helped make the whole time really go by painlessly. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to show how excited we are of our engagement. -

Our wedding was on 12/3/2016. Gary did both our Engagement and wedding photos. He and his team were phenomenal!! They didn't only do an awesome job with capture our great moments, they also were so helpful and trustworthy! I loved how professional and efficient they were for my wedding. I didn't know how intense the wedding day could be until my big day. I was behind the schedule but Gary was very calm and patient and his wife and the second photographer was super organized and professional to be able to adjust the shooting plan and fitted into the new timeline and eventually made sure we got all the pics we want with amazing quality!!!!Gary definitely knows how to capture the best moment and angles! We love the pictures he took so much!!!! He and his team were AMAZING!!!!!
A tip for whoever going to choose Gary, who is my favorite photographer and a great person to meet, make sure have his wife Melonie to be the assistant on the wedding day, she was so amazing and helpful with so many small details you won't even believe it!!!
LOVE MY PICTURES!!!! Thank you for the amazing work!!!! -

Gary is the best photographer I have ever met! To me, a good photographer needs to have 3 characters: skill, creativity, and good customer service. He has both. Trust me, good customer service will make the whole shooting experience so different and nice! He did it! Some of the photographers have attitudes to their clients when they are shooting photos. Maybe that's their style, but Gary is always so nice to us, and so friendly, which makes our photo shooting so fun. However, he does have attitudes, but that is to his products which are the pictures. That's why pics he took for us are so natural and also cute at the same time! Photo shooting to us is not only for the pics, it is also an experience and memory! Gary helped us get all the best: experience and photos!!! I know I won't get marry again, but if I do, I will still have Gary as our photographer because he is the best! -

If you're looking for a genuinely caring photographer that goes out of his way to make sure you get exactly what you're hoping for out of your photoshoot - Gary's your man. From the moment of first contact through receiving our beautiful photos, Gary was extremely informative, very quick to respond to any questions, he made a real effort to learn about us as a couple (which immediately gave him the edge to anyone else I was considering) and was eager to hear and incorporate all of our ideas. He made the whole process so easy and fun! Not to mention that we absolutely adore our photos! The moments he was able to capture were simply stunning and we will cherish them forever. -

Gary took the wedding pictures exceed our expectation. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness blew me away. We really feel that he gave us all his attention since the first contact and the first email. He isn't like other photographers, who just give you a few select shots. Gary actually gives you all the photographs he takes and lets you keep all of them. He even makes you a sweet video with your best shots as a souvenir of your session. He truly cares about the quality of your pictures--and he truly care about your opinion. He never rush and let us feel very relax. He took time to get to know us during the shoot.He is truly a genuine, caring person and photographer. I definitely recommend Gary to my friends who will get marry. Thank you so much for everything Gary! You truly gives us precious memories through your pictures accompany with me all my life. -

Gary took engagement pictures for my fiance and I, and I have to admit, i was impressed from the very first email exchange. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, and kindness blew me away. From the first communication, we felt like we were the only couple he was working with - he gave us all his attention and offered recommendations for places. He asked me to provide him with three engagement photos that i really liked so he could get a sense of our style-- and he completely nailed it when we actually did our photoshoot. We really wanted pictures on a riverboat, and i don't know how he did it, but he found us one and took such beautiful pictures of us there. We were blown away by the pictures he offered us. He isn't like other photographers, who just give you a few select shots. Gary actually gives you all the photographs he takes and lets you keep all of them. He even makes you a sweet video with your best shots as a souvenir of your session. He also isn't like other photographers in the sense that he offers you advice on how to stand, what poses look best in photos, etc. He truly cares about the quality of your pictures--and he actually cares about the couple BEHIND the pictures. He took time to get to know us during the shoot, and made it so much fun. He is truly a genuine, caring person and photographer. You definitely will not regret choosing him as your photographer. Thank you so much for everything Gary! You truly made our engagement sessions special! -

What can I say - Gary is exceptionally good at what he does! This was my first time getting pictures taken by a professional photographer and Gary made the whole experience such an ease.
It also doesn't hurt that he's got a very sweet and easy going personalty!
He listened to my ideas and even encouraged them. I could tell he took my suggestions to consideration in every shot he took.
The park we chose had so many options for pictures that we even got lost at some point! lol Gary was all for it! He enjoyed looking for that extra special spot that captured what I had in mind. Our time with Gary was so much fun that we ran out of time and it shows in all the pictures ;) I simply adore every single shot. He captured my fiance and I in just a sweet and romantic light. I can't wait to have him do future photo sessions! -
