  Flexible, Personable, and Professional

  Lindsay and Tom were such a joy to work with. My husband gets extremely nervous around photographers and large groups of people, so I tried my best to find a vendor that would make him feel comfortable. They were so helpful during initial phone calls when we were planning and it was fantastic having two photographers capturing the two "getting ready" aspects of the wedding since I was getting my make-up done and my husband was helping set-up at the venue! It felt so comfortable and natural having our photos taken by Lindsay and Tom on our wedding day, they were open to any pose suggestion we had and had plenty of suggestions to provide to us when we weren't sure what to do! We had so much fun walking around Pawtuckaway State Park finding picture-perfect locations as our back drop. Upon receiving the gallery of photos, I was SO impressed that they edited all of these photos in less than TWO weeks! I just spent hours looking through the photos and I'm beyond impressed. I could feel the raw emotions coming through in each picture. We also were running almost an hour late and Lindsay and Tom were very flexible with us, we never felt rushed. They went along with the flow of the wedding day and captured all the big and little moments along the way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone having a wedding.

  Tom & Taylor were fantastic. We had a great time working with them this past weekend. We have a very photo-shy family that came out of their shells and enjoyed the evening, and even enjoyed the pictures. They showed up early, made sure that we got all of the types of photos we wanted, and were great every step of the way. Likewise, they were reasonably priced as far as wedding photography goes and we really enjoyed spending the day with them. Highly recommend!

  I wish we could have all pictures. Felt that the pictures during the reception went a bit too long and we missed alot of the reception. Should have done all pictures at once but that was more our fault that your fault. I loved your personalities, your professionalism and the quality of your pictures.

  Chris and I were very happy with Great Island Photography. Tom and Lindsay had some great ideas for picture poses and did a nice job at capturing the day. We also loved that all of our pictures were loaded onto an iPad mini that we were able to keep - such a great idea!

  Tom and Lindsay were lovely to work with. Very friendly and unobtrusive. One thing that may help in working with them is coming with poses in mind, they're willing to photograph whatever you come up with.

  Lindsey and Tom,
  
  Are very professional. Although I was extremely disappointed with my photos. I felt the candid, ceremony, cake cutting and dancing came out fine, but the ones that count with my husband and I and the family came out undesirable. Some of us are smiling, some of us are looking a different way. (this was just with a close family, I did not have a bridal party and I could only image what would of happened with a bigger group) I felt like they took a long time for setting up. Out of the 6 hrs of pictures I have 5 that I'm ok with and might frame. Really dissapointing....
  
  Keep looking

  Great Island Photography, LLC's reply:

  We regret the circumstances that caused this brides complaints but honestly feel that her groom bears more responsibility for her disappointing results than any of the professionals hired for their wedding. Three times appointments with us to meet at the venue were changed, then canceled. We met with the bride's mother at the venue instead. We met the bride only once, the groom not until the day of the wedding.
  
  The bride seemed subdued upon our arrival and later during portraits with her and her family the reason was revealed when she received a phone call from the groom that reduced her to tears in front of us. Things did not improve from there. The bride never recovered her composure, she never looked either happy or relaxed. Scheduling went completely out the window, all vendors were effected. The groom's behavior was in a word boorish. The groom “allowed” us just over 20 minutes to work with them both, was uncooperative from the beginning. He didn't think the wedding, let alone the photos were important and didn't wish to participate, he did not care in slightest that he hurt or disappointed his new wife. There are no photos of them together after the cake cutting.
  
  Obtaining quality couples photos requires that both the bride and groom are cooperative, relaxed and enjoying their wedding day. No photographer can “manufacture” an appearance of happiness. We should also point out, in the hundreds of weddings we have photographed since we started our business we have thankfully never experienced a situation like this before. We both feel very compassionately towards this bride and are very very sorry for her disappointment but feel she should examine the circumstances more carefully and put the blame where it belongs.
