    You won’t regret your decision hiring George!

    I knew I wanted George to be my photographer for our wedding day ever since I saw my sister in laws wedding photos! He has been the best from start to finish , I can’t recommend George enough! He made you feel so comfortable and confident, the ideas/vision he has are top notch and then the photos he produces are phenomenal! I will forever recommend George! Thank you for everything you have done, we are so grateful.

    Great Experience with George!

    Hiring George as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions that my husband and I could have made! The photos were stunning, and we couldn't ask for a more accommodating, fun, and excellent photographer. Thank you so much George for helping making our wedding so wonderful!

    Incredible photos!

    Brian and I decided on hiring George because of his energy and passion for his art. Both of us are in the wedding industry and have worked with George many times. We knew he would be a perfect fit for our day! He is creative and fun and truly enjoys what he does. We were given sneak peeks of our pictures within a couple days and they were FANTASTIC!!! We love you George and thank you so much for capturing our magical day!

    George is a great wedding/engagement photographer

    George and his assistant were both awesome. George threw in engagement photos with our wedding package and turned them around to us within 3 days. For the wedding photos, he gave us a "sneak peak" of about 60 photos within 24 hours which all looked fantastic!

    George is extremely kind and was a great guy that set us at ease for our engagement/wedding photos. He is very creative in thinking of poses, settings, and backgrounds that were flattering and complimented us. George and his assistant also worked well with the videography team, and they were able to bounce ideas off of each other well.

    We also have a large extended family and George patiently took 25+ different photos of all the various permutations of family members, something that was very important to us. He was also very affordable, gave us a winter discount, and took/edited great looking photos for us. If we were to do our wedding all over again, we'd definitely pick George again!

    The best time!

    George and Miguel really made the wedding so much more fun! Their energy was immaculate. I wasn’t even stressed because I knew we were in good hands. It blew our minds how they came up with some of the photo ideas they came up with. Each and every photo is beautiful! I wouldn’t even look any further. You want George to do your wedding. Also looking forward to working with him in the future as well for other things!

    Perfection

    Absolutely amazing people to work with. Smooth and on point with all their choices. I personally do not believe any other photographers could have brought an energy like George and Miguel did. If I had to do this all over I would choose them in a heartbeat. I am so grateful we got that chance to have them at our wedding and on our team.

    George is amazing!!!

    George is an amazing photographer and human being. He truly is one of the best and shows, through his work, attitude, and personality. He makes you feel comfortable and confident. And the photos are amazing! The session was fun and such a great experience. 10/10 would recommend every time!
    George has so much experience, so it was really helpful that he knew who all the vendors were and had already photographed many weddings at our venue. He knew just where the perfect spots were for photographs.
    My favorite part was the pre wedding session because it got us used to getting our picture taken before the big day. It was so much fun! George also does an amazing signature print for your guests to sign the day of the wedding. We got so many compliments and it’s something I’ll cherish forever.

    Seriously THE BEST!

    WE had so much fun working with George and Miguel! They were organized, great communicators and we had a blast working with them! They have such a great dynamic but most importantly, they were able to capture all the special moments from our wedding! We quickly bonded and they easily because part of the family! We look forward to working with George again to capture family photos in our future! Thank you both for everything you have done!

    Wedding photographer

    I highly recommend using George for your wedding photographer! George and his helper were amazing through the whole day and know exactly what they’re doing. They made everything go so smoothly on our special day. We got married on August 27th 2022 and throughout our planning he would always reply back even when he was out on vacation.

    10.9.21 wedding

    I have the advantage of working with George 10 years ago when he was the photographer for my aunt's wedding - the one solo picture in my bridesmaid’s dress at the time was my most-liked profile picture on Facebook!
    George is a great person and a talented photographer- he did an amazing job with our engagement shoot and had ideas that were incredible to see executed. He went out of his way while on vacation to take a FaceTime call with me and my mom to answer a few questions that we had.
    George and his assistant Miguel were great to work with on the day of our wedding! All of the sneak peak pictures we’ve received are great quality, and we’ve received a ton of compliments on them! There is a reason George won a Couples Choice Award for Wedding Wire in 2020.

    Absolutely amazing! 10/10

    I can not say enough good things about George and Jeff. George was the first photographer we met at a wedding show, and from then on, he was our favorite contact. From the very beginning, he made sure my husband and I were comfortable not only with him, but also in front of the camera. My husband is not a particularly photogenic person, but you would never know it from the photos - George made them look SO natural. His responsiveness to my many emails, as well as punctuality on the day of the wedding, was spot-on. And his teammate Jeff was the best hype man for all of our photos! George was able to capture our love and happiness in a way that I couldn't even imagine, and it shows in all of the photos. I cannot recommend them enough.

    Beautiful photos!

    George was professional, punctual and pleasant to work with. He was able to work with all members of our party well, including a couple toddlers, a baby and 3 dogs. Our family has a family photo taken each year, and George is our best photographer yet. There were no heavy sighs and groans from my family because things took so long. Instead, the photo shoot was efficient and yet thorough. The best, and most important part, though, is the photos were beautiful!!! I highly recommend using George for your next photo shoot.

    You Need George for Your Wedding

    George was a dream to work with! We did our engagement photos and wedding photos with him and they came out better than we could have imagined. He was easy to work with and made the process so easy. He was recommended to me by one of my coworkers and I would recommend him to anyone. His prices were also very reasonable and worked well within our wedding budget.

    satisfied customers

    We planned our wedding long distance and used George based on another Lake George photographers recommendations. George was very responsive, listened to our needs, and was flexible with our wedding day plans. He got the job done quickly without interfering with the ceremony.We found him to be personable, punctual, and reasonably priced. he has already sent us a preview of our photos and they look beautiful and we can’t wait to see the final product. We would definitely recommend George Liang photography for your wedding needs…..Andrea and Eric (Long Island, NY).

    Best photographer out there!

    George is the best photographer out there. I met him June 2019 because he shot my friends wedding. After seeing him in action I knew I wanted him by my side on our big day.
    George was there for us every step of the way. Like most "COVID couples" my husband and I decided to downsize our wedding from 140 people to 30. George was flexible and willing to work with us as we mapped out our backup plan.
    We live out of state, which added to the difficulty of planning, but George met me in downtown Albany a few days before the wedding to go over locations for photos and ceremony. George didn't have to do this on his own time, but he wanted to make sure we got the pictures we wanted on our wedding day. I really appreciated this. And let me tell you: George has a special eye. He sees things others may not see - and the photos came out beautifully.
    George (and Miguel) are true professionals. They arrived early, introduced themselves to our families, and then got to work. They became part of our family. The photos they captured will live in our hearts forever.
    Communicating with George was easy. He was responsive with emails and phone calls.

    George, Matt and I were so lucky to have you by our side on our special day. Thank you.

    Well Worth The Wait

    From a very unexpectedly chilly engagement photoshoot down to a truly magical night of opal skies and midcentury architecture, working with George was a dream. We had to wait a very long time between booking and actually having our big day, but George was there every step of the way. His second shooter Miguel was also a rockstar on our wedding day; full of inspiration and joy, it was such a treat to be in the hands of two master artists.

    Passionate Professional

    George took both our engagement and wedding photos. He was very professional, flexible and easy to work with despite several rescheduled wedding dates due to the pandemic. On our wedding day he impressively learned everyone's names which made setting up group shots more efficient. He and his assistant Miguel made a great team and their love for the art of photography was apparent. George got so many good shots that it's been hard to choose which ones to print! The thumb drive containing all of our photos even came in a cool little wooden box with several prints that we weren't expecting. We highly recommend booking George Laing Photography for your special event!

    June Microwedding

    Due to Covid-19 we had to postpone our big reception and ceremony but still decided to get married on June 20,2020 in an intimate family only ceremony and reception. George was absolutely amazing as a one man team in the heat capturing all of our special moments, including some amazing candids! He went above and beyond in the summer sun and truly captured the feel and joy of our very special day with some absolutely spectacular shots! He’s a pleasure to work with and this is the third time now working with him (once for my brothers wedding and once for our engagement shoot) and we cannot wait to do it all over again next June!! I highly recommend George (& his team). We will now have our sweetest memories forever!

    Phenomenon

    My husband and I are not picture people. We have never had pictures taken before and never even thought of it. But when getting married pictures are not an option to neglect. George was the PERFECT fit for us! He made us feel so comfortable and really catered to our personalities. He was able to get amazing pictures of two not so photogenic people and made us feel very photogenic. He was EVERYWHERE at our wedding and captures very moment. I will be recommending george to everyone!

    George Lainge Venezia Crilly wedding

    George and Miguel were kind, professional, and gentile when capturing our wedding day. We loved working with George during our engagement shoot. I always wanted my wedding to be captured in real time, and I can’t believe some of the candids that George has shared with us. We can wait for more! THANK YOU! Kelly & Matty

    Just book george!

    George was fantastic! Not just at capturing some of the most beautiful winter wedding photos out in the snow, but also creative, fun and artsy photos throughout the day. He was also the exact photographer I needed emotionally to keep the day going; there is so more to a photographer than just the pictures they take I learned thru this process. Their personality and dedication to YOU the customer is also a necessity, and George is the type of photographer who won't think twice about going above and beyond for you. George's skill and ability to capture nature and weather I learned after booking him is renowned around the Capital Region, and his pictures reflected that. Words cant describe how gorgeous his pictures are, we went to a horse farm and he captured some indescribable moments on film. George was easy to talk to, easy to contact and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. I'd like to note that I legit made George an honorary bridesmaid as he was just involved in the day as my bridesmaids were. He was voluntarily doing WAY more than a photographer should to help us along as we were getting ready. When I went into periods of stress and panic, he was right there finding bobby pins, he helped with putting on my jewelry, helped with the veil, and was keeping everyone calm and guiding the bridesmaids to what needed to be done next when I needed it the most, you could really tell he had been thru this many times (I hugged him easily 4-5 times in gratitude for stepping in beyond any photographer's regular duty). George and his assistant Miguel were also SO fun to have at the wedding! They got guests up and moving! They took selfies with them to make people smile, feel included and help them have a great time. He wasn't awkwardly taking pictures of the day from he edge of the room, he was in the moment with every guest so the pictures were natural and fun! Several guests actually told me how much fun they thought the photographers were. George is also creative. My husband and I love hockey, so, George surprised us and brought his own hockey sticks in for us to take some cool hockey themed wedding pictures, great idea!!!! George's pictures were outstanding, fun and creative, from our engagement session to even sticking around a little bit after our reception was over. We were so blessed to have George be a part of our day. I would chose him 100 more times if I could!

    George was wonderful! He saw great photo opportunities I didn’t think of and was more than willing to take any pictures that we wanted as well. The sneak peek we got was amazing and I can’t wait to see the other photos!
