Amazing Photos

We used Gilmore Studios for our engagement and wedding photos and just WOW! The photos from both days are stunning! Jennifer and Brian were a pleasure to work with and managed to capture my husbands and my big day so naturally. We couldn't ask for more!

I would recommend Gilmore Studios over and over again. They are professional and what I really love is the guidance they give when taking photos. They make you feel comfortable and also make it really fun. We used Gilmore Studios as our wedding photographers and they went above and beyond. They are trusting and reliable. They are also GREAT with kids. I was so impressed with how they got all the kids in the photos to smile together! They captured our whole day and the photos turned out absolutely stunning! The photos were ready to view very timely (within a month, with teasers ready even earlier) and accessible online.

Jen & Brian are absolutely amazing!! They both are so wonderful and amazing to work with. They captured every little detail that were and still are so significant of the first day of our lives together as MR. and MRS. Smith. We were able to re-live every moment of our wedding day by looking at all of photos taken by Jen and Brian. We also had an amazing engagement session with them. They made it so easy and natural to take the pictures. They truely are an amazing couple and we will be referring any one that needs any type of professional photos taken to Gilmore Studios !! Not only do their pictures speak for themselves, once you meet them you will not want to have anyone else share the special times with you.

Are you interested?

Most amazing photographers. They took pictures of details that would have otherwise been missed. The cake company dropped our wedding cake and Brian called his contact and secured a small two level cake so we would have a cake to cut. Great ideas, stunning photos, nicest people to work with, totally professional. Can't say enough positive, glowing things about Gilmore Studios. I would not hesitate to use again and will refer to everyone I know.

I cannot say enough about Gilmore Studios and their quality of service. When we started the process of finding a photographer we chose them because it was a personal reference. The only part I looked at for photographers was their actual photography. Not only does Gilmore Studios establish wonderful photography but through the whole time they were professional, helpful, and prepared myself for the day of the wedding. Jennifer went above and beyond to communicate sending emails with updates on what I should know up until the wedding. I felt so prepared the day of the wedding that I didn't need to worry. When the wedding day came Jennifer and Brian were so calm and knew exactly what to do fixing any problems seamlessly. They are able to work with large crowds of people as well as manage any type of age group. We had a 3 1/2 year old flower girl and they were so good with getting the best pictures of her! All of the vendors and guests we spoke with mentioned that they were very professional the day of the wedding and easy to work with. If you are stuck on trying to find a photographer Gilmore Studios has the whole package!!! I highly recommend using them for your next event!!

I don't think I can say enough good things about Gilmore Studios! They were beyond professional and fun, they are so good with children and putting everyone at ease. They make you feel like you are the only wedding they are working and like it is their first time too (in a good way, not like "eh we do this all the time"). It was such a great experience to work with them, they are so energetic and it is infectious! They are so flexible and are open to whatever you want to do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Not being from Orange County originally, Jennifer was so helpful when I asked for some recommendations for other vendors, her recommendations were amazing and helped to make our day absolutely perfect!

We used their photobooth at our wedding, it was easy to use and took great photos. They had several backgrounds and props to choose from and I couldn't have been happier with the experience!

We have received SO MANY compliments on our amazing engagement photos (a few people actually asking for Gilmore Studios contact information for their wedding photos based off of our engagement photos) and now on our wedding photos. They are absolutely perfect, everything we asked for, our pictures were full of heart, love, laughter and they really captured the candid moments.

We first met Jen & Brian at my sister's wedding in LA. The bride had the flu the day of her wedding, yet when we look back on the photos, you can't even tell she was sick! Major props to Jen + Brian. We loved them so much, we asked them to shoot our wedding the following year. Jen + Brian are so fabulous. Incredibly quick, professional, and efficient. They had the digitals mailed to us on a usb that arrived on our "one month" anniversary and at our 1 year anniversary this year they sent us a beautiful framed wedding photo. Such a fun surprise! Editing was top notch and we loved the variety of shots and poses. We will def utilize them in the future for baby photos and refer them to all our California friends!! They are absolutely worth every penny and to this day, we love to look back on our wedding photos.

Jennifer and Brian photographed our wedding. There is no words to describe how amazing of a job they did and how thankful we are for their hard work. They work great as a team and exceeded our expectations of capturing the most important moments and all the little details. All of our pictures came out beautiful. Jennifer and Brian are so professional and were a major reason as to why our wedding day went so smoothly. They did a great job directing everyone and making us feel comfortable during the whole experience. I without a doubt recommend anyone who is looking for a photographer to stop looking and hire Jennifer and Brian because I am certain you will not be disappointed!

My husband David and I were extremely satisfied with our experience having Jen and Brian as our wedding photographers in July of 2015. They are thoughtful, professional, fun, flexible, efficient, patient, and creative. Our day was perfect and we cannot thank them enough for capturing amazing photos and memories we will cherish for a life time. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND their work and look forward to have them take our family photos in the future. :)

Jennifer and Brian were absolutely wonderful! From the engagement photos to the wedding, everything was done with ease--they made it more fun than I had imagined!! I can't thank them enough for the work they've done...being able to revisit these over and over is a gift that will last forever. Thank you Gilmore Studios and I hope to work with you again sometime! It was a blast!!!

Tina and Aj's photos of their wedding were amazing. It was like being there in person all over again.
We loved how fast and specific Jennifer's instructions were in positioning us for group photos and yet how they were able to still capture the candid shots as well. The pictures inside the venue had just the right amount of lighting so that the effect of the venue was still maintained with all the twinkle lighting. The pictures on the beach at sunset were beautiful .We would highly recommend Gilmore studios for any of your photography needs.

My husband (so weird saying that) and I used Jennifer and Brian as our photographers for our wedding on Nov 1st in Laguna beach and couldn't have been more thrilled with the results. As soon as we finished our first meeting I knew this was going to be the one vendor I wouldn't need to stress about (and we were right). We had an engagement session in our wedding package and it was a perfect chance for us to get comfortable in front of the camera. It is awesome having a husband/wife duo or even just a female/male duo because Brian hung out with my hubby and I hung out with Jennifer and we were both totally comfortable being in the spotlight. Fast forward to our wedding day... Brian and Jennifer were super organized and took all the dress/rings/random photos while I was getting ready without me even knowing it. We were able to fit in all the photos of just us 2 and our entire wedding party before our 5pm ceremony, giving us more time to spend with guests. I would also highly recommend opting for the photobooth, this is not your traditional booth that fits 3 people, but a full backdrop that can accommodate 10+ people with a REAL human taking the photos. The results were epic. We will be using the Gilmore's time and time again when we expand our family of 2 :)

Here are some of our photos, hope you enjoy as much as we did!

If you are getting married in the Orange County area- GET GILMORE STUDIOS!! They were recommended to me by my venue and I am so glad that I went with them. Both Jennifer and Brian were extremely friendly and relaxed (which put us at ease), yet also very professional and organized. It was great to do an engagement session with them beforehand to get to know them. The day of the wedding, they showed up early and stayed until they got every important event. Even through the chaos of the day, they stayed calm and their pacing was perfect for us to get all of the shots we wanted. I received many compliments in regards to them from my wedding party and from guests at the wedding. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding special....and easy =)

Jennifer and Brian were so wonderful to work with! I was looking for a unique photographer to photograph our beach wedding, and instead of one, we found two! As soon as I saw their video, I knew I just had to have them there! They were so flexible and even surprised us with something at the wedding. They truly made our day very special and gave us memories we will never forget with their beautiful photographs. They even took some video which we had no idea they would do. But it made everything that much more special! They kept in touch with us through the course of planning, and always asked how things were going and if we needed anything. When they showed up at our ceremony, it felt like we were all already good friends! We were very comfortable with them and we could not be happier with the turn out! We will definitely be hiring them for events to come in our future. They are wonderful, kind, down to earth and extremely talented! Such a sweet couple! They gave us so much more than just pictures! Worth every penny!! :)

Jennifer and Brian were amazing! We could not have been happier with their level of perfection. They captured every moment and emotion through the day and weekend. They even had snippets of video taken that we didn't know they were taking, which was such an amazing surprise since we didn't have a videographer. Their professionalism made us feel comfortable from the beginning. We loved how they got pictures quickly and moved on so we weren't burnt out from all of the photos. You also couldn't tell they were there most of the night, not getting in the way, etc which was really important to us.

Gilmore Studios photographed my daughters wedding in NYC. Jennifer and Brian were so wonderful and accommodating in every situation, even on the streets of NY hailing a cab. We couldn’t have asked for a better photography/couple to commemorate this beautiful day for our children. The photographs are all wonderful it is very hard to choose, from the Botanical Gardens to the Promenade in Central Park. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, they captured the love, joy and fun of the entire wedding.

We saw some examples of Jennifer’s previous work, and we knew we had to have her as our photographer. She was great through the whole experience! She was extremely friendly and professional. She took the time to get to know us and listened to what we wanted for our event. My Husband and I aren’t really picture people. Jennifer was very patient with us and made an effort to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We loved our wedding pictures! She definitely has a talent for capturing candid, special moments on camera. Jennifer went above and beyond and even videotaped some parts of our wedding, since we didn’t have a videographer. I have already recommended Jennifer to some of my friends.

Gilmore studios went above and beyond when it came to photographing our wedding. Our photographs turned out better then I could have imagined and there were so many to pick from. They also provided tons of other services so I didn't have to go through other vendors, such as engagement pictures, guestbook, and thank you cards. They were so friendly and willing to do anything I asked. They were so organized in taking pictures in order that people weren't standing around the entire time, and making sure me and my husband were wilting in the hot sun all day. I would recommend them to anyone and use them again for other opportunities.

We selected Gilmore Studios because we felt in reviewing samples of their work that they were able to capture things a little differently than others. After seeing the result from our wedding pictures we are definately glad we selected them as our photographers for our wedding. They were able to work with a couple of areas we liked for backgrounds and came up with some incredibly beautiful and artistic shots. They were easy to work with, took our ideas into consideration and worked them into the shots and were very patient with our amatuer photographer guests. They helped make our special day that much more fun and our pictures really do a great job in capturing all of the events. Thanks so much Jennifer & Brian, we love how they all came out.

Very down to earth, nice people, and super easy to work with. Photography is not cheap, but it is worth every penny, and the stress free, can-do attitude of this dynamic duo makes your big day so much easier. Getting the photos taken is fun, quick and simple, and they look fantastic. It's like if your friends were just there to snap some cool shots, its completely unobtrusive. The resulting photos look superb and are top quality work in terms of composition, lighting, framing, and every little detail that just makes a professional photo look amazing.

We found Jennifer and Brian purely by chance when we searched online for a photographer for our Newport Beach wedding. We live in Arkansas and so we were at a slight disadvantage as far as knowing who the local photographers were in the NB area. What a perfect choice we made! We were absolutely thrilled with their work…..wow! They were professional and courteous in every way and worked non-stop during the wedding and reception. A few weeks later, when the video arrived, we were speechless! I can’t say enough how romantic they made it ~ the video and pictures truly show how happy and in love we are. The whole album simply took our breath away! Thank you so much for the memories that will last a lifetime…
Very sincerely yours,
Andrea and John

Jennifer and Brian were just perfect. They traveled out of state for my wedding, and did a terrific job. I even asked them to take more photos the day after our wedding, and they did. We have so many wonderful pictures to accompany our memories, and it's all thanks to the Gilmores. I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion. They're quick, professional, artistic, and will exceed your expectations, guaranteed.

When my fiancé and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding is was critical that they would be flexible to roll with the chaos our four boys, two of which are autistic, and while doing so get all of the pictures we wanted to document our special day.

My wife loves the candid shots and I’m a bit more traditional.

Gilmore Studios were the Marry Poppins of our day… Professional, personable and bottom line “practically perfect in every way!”

We got ALL of the shots we wanted and even the ones which we didn’t realize we wanted until after the day was done. I would recommend them to anyone, anywhere. From talking with them, they’ve done destination weddings and local weddings. I can’t say enough good stuff about them, but the most important thing, for us, is that they listened to what we wanted for the day and they more than met our expectations… they exceeded them.

This being our second marriage (for my wife and I), we couldn’t have picked a better studio to document our day!

Jennifer has t be the most amazing Photographer EVER!! She is the FULL PACKAGE the REAL DEAL!! Jennifer and her Husband make the perfect team. Having the right photographer was high on my list of MUST. I interviewed more than I can count. After met Jennifer and seeing her work I knew I had made the right choice. She thinks of even the smallest detail and it doesn't stop there. I wish I could add an extra star for Jennifer. II have recommended her to many friends and would use her again and again fr our future pictures.. I wish I could add an extra star for Jennifer.

My Husband (then fiancé) researched high and low for a photographer to shoot our wedding. We met with a few different photographers, but nothing wowed us like the work the Gilmore’s do. I have to admit when we came to her studio I was impressed by all the bells and whistles she had to show us, but was skeptical thinking their packages would be over priced. I was so totally wrong! Jennifer and Brian Gilmore are such a down to earth couple and they truly take the time to listen and care about what you are looking for with your photos. They were even willing to work with our budget and there was no “oh by the way (insert random person’s name here) is actually shooting your wedding”. They do it all from start to finish so there is no last minute surprises! The engagement shoot was part of our wedding package and helped us warm up to Jennifer and Brian. When we got our high resolution pictures back (within 2 weeks-fully edited) I was impressed! Firstly by the beautiful wrapping on the package that was mailed to us with all the thought and care that was taken to prepare our photos, but secondly by the quality, variety and unique-ness of the pictures! All our friends who had engagement sessions done were all the same, A few locations, all the same poses, and only one or two that stood out. Our pictures were so beautiful that we had a hard time picking out our top favorites to use our save the date cards. The wedding was no different! Flawless work! Jennifer and Brian showed up on time and captured everything. Jennifer would get the close-ups and have us look over a Brian way in the distance for some stellar cinematic shots! When our friends and family saw our pictures they were impressed and some commented that they didn’t remember us having photographers because they were ninjas! They didn’t block the ceremony from our guests, or interfere at all! Just captured the magical moments. We got all 900 (fully edited) pictures along with a beautiful slideshow within a month of

I can't say enough great things about Jennifer and Brian. They are a fun, young couple that really know what they are doing. I am not photogenic at all and the thought of posing for pictures is very unnerving. Jennifer and Brian very quickly make you feel at ease. There style is very natural, lots of candids and just enough posed photos. You will not be disappointed!

Jennifer and Brian Gilmore did an amazing job capturing our day. They suggested such creative shots and I can't wait to see all our photos. They work so well together as a team and we felt we got their undivided attention the entire day. They were so great to work with and I can't wait for other celebrations for them to capture.

Jennifer Gilmore was our photogographer for our wedding on June 24, 2012. She was professional, fun, and amazing. She works with her husband as a team to get as many possible photos and different angles. Throughout the ceremony and reception she shot many photos without being too "in-your-face." I hardly knew she was there except when we took formal photos with family and the bridal party. She made us feel relaxed and happy on our wedding day, I highly recommend her.

Jennifer and I met when we were kids through a performance group and then we had reconnected a bit on Facebook. As soon as I got engaged I knew that I wanted her to be our photographer as I was always impressed by her work and knew that she was very organized and an all around great person. She and Brian were exactly what we wanted and far exceeded our expectations. My husband and I are not big into having our photo taken, however we love looking at photos after a memorable event. Jennifer and Brian were amazing at reading our mood and knowing when they had enough shots. She didn't make me take too many pictures by myself because she knew it made me uncomfortable. The pictures not only captured our entire wedding day, but they also truly captured the two of us. I am so thankful we picked them for our photos and I recommend them with the highest of ratings and respect! You will not be disappointed.

We met Jennifer at a wedding we attended earlier this year and we were so impressed with her work that we just had to use her for our wedding. Jennifer did both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. Not only were the pictures absolutely amazing but her professionalism and customer service were 2nd to none! I would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer Gilmore Photography to anyone that is looking for a great photographer.

I absolutely love Jennifer and her husband Brian. I could not have asked for more amazing photographers for my wedding! They took a great balance of real moments and "artsy" shots, as well as a ton of pictures of our guests. Many of my family members commented that they loved how efficient they were with the Family Portraits, yet not pushy or overbearing. She was also very helpful in finding a portrait package that was affordable in our budget but got us what we were looking for. I will cherish these amazing pictures forever!

Jennifer and Brian helped make my daughter's wedding day PERFECT. They arrived early, had already scoped out the location that the bride and groom chose to have their "before the wedding" shots taken and were patient and helpful the entire day. We also used their OC Studio Booth, which was a huge hit with the guests at the wedding. Look no further for a photographer...just use Jennifer Gilmore Photography.

Jennifer Gilmore photography exceeded my expectations. She and her husband Brian shot both my engagement and wedding photos and I could not have been happier with the results. Jennifer went above and beyond to ensure everything was prepared in advanced, helped me brainstorm ideal timing for the wedding day, calmed me down when it threatened to rain, helped me stay on task timing-wise during the wedding reception and, outside of all of that, the photos are amazing!! Best photographer out there. No question.

Jennifer and Brian are truly amazing at what they do. From the first time we met for a consultation, to our big day, they made us feel comfortable and relaxed. They have a way of getting you to enjoy every moment of your day, no stress, and capture it perfectly! My wife and I just got back our pictures, and they could not be more perfect! Jennifer and Brian were able to piece together our whole day in away that we never thought imaginable. From our "first glance", to the last dance, they were there to make sure that we would have a photo memory of every moment! I would recommend Jennifer Gilmore Photography to anyone and everyone who needs a photographer. Thank you Jennifer and Brian for making our special day easy, and for taking photos that we can share and enjoy forever!

Big Thanks,

Patrick and Brianne Walker

Jennifer and her Husband ended up shooting our wedding. They were a lot of fun and made it very relaxing! They just seemed to take all of the pressure off and let us focus on other things. Then when we got our CD pictures (quicker than what had expected) we were soooo shocked by how great the photos were! And soo many to choose from. She also made a video of our pictures and posted them on Youtube for us. Would HIGHLY recommend her to all others!

Jennifer and her husband are so much fun to work with. They are relaxed and funny and will do almost anything for that perfect shot. I've continued to use them for my maternity and newborn photos. If you want amazing pictures, quality, service all while having a good time then be sure to book Jennifer Gilmore Photography!

Jennifer was wonderful to work with. Always responsive to questions and flexible about our
time schedule. She took thousand of photographs but was not intrusive or disruptive of the special day!

We were originally planning a large wedding in October some things came up and so decided on a small courthouse wedding. We contacted Gilmore studios about five days prior to the date. They were very flexible and were able to help us out. It was pure dumb luck to have found them and it all worked out perfectly. It never does, but somehow this was the only thing that actually worked out. I'm extremely happy with the photos. Thank you, Gilmore Studios!

From the very beginning, Jennifer Gilmore was very easy to work with. She helped us decide what look we were going for with the actual picture look (modern, traditional, goofy, serious) as well as where to take our pictures. She is very flexible, professional and promptly replys to calls, texts and emails. We had a good experience with taking our engagement and wedding photos.

The only reason I didn't put all fives was because that would seem unrealistic, but I know that Jennifer Gilmore is the finest wedding and child photographer in Orange County. There is no one else I would recommend for overall quality of work and professionalism. I have been both a client and a colleague. She's the best!
