    Gary is an amazingly talented photographer and did a wonderful job capturing our day. He did our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. The feedback we have gotten from the photos is nothing short of phenomenal. He has the ability to take any setting and see the potential for an extraordinary shot. He was also one of the hardest working vendors at our wedding; he stayed right to the end (out lasted the videographer by two hours).

    Gary was very responsive with emails, calls, and texts; he always stayed in contact and met all his promised deadlines. Simply put, he was a pleasure to work with. We were so impressed with Gary that we hired him again for a non-wedding related project a few months ago.

    Gary was the best, he spent so much of his time running from one spot to another (spider monkey as my bridesmaids called him). The photo's are out of this world and he is super responsive to me bugging him for more "sneak peek" photos! Gary got every emotion and so many pictures I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Gary was amazing, as was his assistant. He came out to the locations where we wanted photos ahead of the wedding date. He came early on the wedding day and worked with us through the entire ceremony and reception. The quality of his photos are magnificent in the way they are personal and capture emotions and the feel of the day. It is photojournalism at it's finest. We were impressed and absoloutely LOVE our photographs!

    Great photographer but very busy so it can be difficult to get a hold of him.

    Gary Ventura photographed my wedding 8-12-2007. We never received our photos. I am offering a $500 reward to the first person that can provide me with high-res digital copies of my wedding pictures. My name is Tegan Biun, previously Tegan Breese-Garelick and my email address is tegan.deanna@gmail.com. Please spread the word and help me out!

    No pictures, won't return emails

    In the fall of 2020, Gary was hired and paid in full to take pictures of my son. Almost a year later and no pictures. He returned one email stating he would email them to me but never did. He won't return emails.

    Tough to give a drug abusing photographer who rips off dozens of couples of their wedding dreams anything but a zero on all accounts. Should he ever come clean and come out of hiding do yourself a favor and DO NOT HIRE HIM.
