    Amazing photographer!

    We are thrilled to have had Paul and his team there to document the best moments from our wedding. He was so engaged throughout the whole process and went above and beyond to ensure that our wishes were met. I loved how he interacted with our guests, too, being both very present and completely in the background when necessary.

    Paul is a joy to work with!

    Paul is a joy to work with, such a genuine nice person with great energy. He made us feel very comfortable through the planning process, and we had a great time taking photos on the day of. He captured our day so beautifully, can't stop looking through the pictures!

    Amazing!

    Paul is AMAZING!!! He was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in October 2021 at Mountain Top Inn in Vermont! He is more than a photographer; he is an artist! We were blown away by his professionalism, his talent, his kindness, and his work ethic!! He is so organized and on top of things that there was never a worry! We felt so at ease with him; he made everyone feel comfortable and he knew exactly how to achieve the true essence of our wedding!! Paul pays attention to detail and really listens! He captured photos of our wedding in such a way that is impossible to explain...he is remarkable at what he does! Paul is a fantastic photographer and beyond talented! He is attentive and caring and genuine and a must hire for your wedding! Best decision ever!!!

    Such an asset to the day!

    Paul is the best person we could have ever hired to photograph our wedding. His personality and artistic eye is what sets him apart. He was so calming and pressure free. Not just when it came to photos, but the whole night, Paul was always where he should be to calm our nerves, give us space, and capture the most amazing candids! If you are looking for frameable photos that will last you a lifetime, quality pricing, and just the kindest person you could ask to work with, Paul is your guy!

    Paul is one of a kind!

    After seeing some of Paul's work, we decided our wedding date around Paul's availability. We NEEDED Paul Reynolds to shoot our wedding day. Looking back, that was the best decision that we made! Paul is unlike any other photographer that we had seen at prior weddings. The part that we appreciated the most about his style was that he was willing to make photography work the way we wanted it to. We wanted to be able to enjoy the day and let photos happen naturally, and he accomplished that perfectly. We were able to get amazing shots without missing out on our wedding reception. Paul's ability to take shots in natural surroundings is remarkable. We are overjoyed with our wedding album!

    Amazing!!!

    Paul was so great to work with, and our photos came out amazing! He helped us find a package that was within our budget, and was so helpful throughout the entire process. Before the wedding, he met with us at our venue to scope out first look and portrait sites, and he made sure he knew what kinds of pictures were important to us. He was organized and efficient the day of our wedding, so everything was easy and ran smoothly. We got all the pictures we wanted, and they are absolutely beautiful! On top of all this, Paul is so friendly, easy-going, and professional. We could not have asked for a better photographer!

    His photography perfectly captured the details and emotion of our wedding

    Paul's photography immediately caught my husband's and my eyes, we absolutely love his style. Paul's photos not only beautifully capture light and colors, but also show so many of the emotions from our wedding day. Paul is incredibly talented and professional, but also is personable and will make you feel comfortable being in front of the lens on your wedding day. He was such a wonderful person to have with us on our big day, and when he gave us our photos we were beyond thrilled to be able to see how perfectly he captured it. If you are looking for a photographer reach out to Paul, we cannot recommend him highly enough!! As a side note, we rented his GIF booth for our wedding too. It was SO FUN. Paul and his wife set it up near the dance floor, looking at the GIFs of all our guests the next morning was the best.

    100% Satisfied!

    Paul photographed our wedding in October 2017, and did engagement pictures for us the year before. He was wonderful to work with on both occasions. Neither of us are super comfortable being on camera, but Paul was very easygoing and made the process easy and painless. At the wedding, Paul and his second shooter got all the shots we were hoping for (and more), all the while being totally unobtrusive and out of the way. We were beyond happy with how the pictures turned out and will treasure them forever. We would whole-heartedly recommend Paul to any couple looking for a photographer!

    I cannot say enough great things about Paul - he is absolutely amazing!!! I first met him when he photographed my sister's wedding in 2015, her photos were BEYOND gorgeous, and I knew we had to have him for our wedding as well!
    Personally, Paul is amazing to work with. He has an amazing ability to put everyone in a room at ease, can direct a crowd of rowdy ex sorority girls and men cracking jokes, and still seemingly disappear into the wallpaper to catch special moments between you and your new husband.
    Professionally, I cannot even TELL you how many compliments I've gotten on both mine and my sister's wedding photos. Over and over we've heard they're the most gorgeous photos someone has ever seen. Prior to the wedding, he talked with us many times about what we wanted our photos to look like, and even took trips out to scout locations near our wedding to be sure we would have the perfect place to shoot. He has an amazing eye and unwavering commitment to get the perfect shot. At one point, he was literally laying belly down in the MIDDLE of a dirt road just over the crest of a very steep blind turn and hill. I pointed out he could get run over at any moment, and his response was "Just yell if a car is coming, I'll roll out of the way. This shot will be SO WORTH IT" It 10,000% was!! The shot from this moment is our favorite in the whole album.
    I honestly cannot wait until we have another occasion to hire Paul - he is such an amazing person and photographer!

    Paul was the photographer for my sister's wedding last June and was absolutely wonderful. First of all, literally everyone who sees the photos immediately asks who did them because they are GORGEOUS. Imagine what you want your wedding photos to look like, take that image and multiply it by 10 on the awesome scale (it's a thing), and that's what Paul is going to give you. My sister and her husband look like they just popped out of the most romantic fairy tale as photographed for a bridal magazine. Absolutely gorgeous. Second of all, on a personality level Paul was a joy to work with. The last thing you need on your wedding day is the photographer stressing you out about getting a perfect shot of this or that or being in the way of getting ready etc. Paul is so nice and has such a calming demeanor everyone was instantly at ease. We hiked all over this (gorgeous) hill to get photos with the rolling Vermont skyline as a backdrop, and despite a roughly 90 degree day and heels on grass, Paul had everyone laughing and having a good time. Nothing felt rushed or stressed, and every shot looks perfect. Hire Paul - it will be the best decision you make.

    Bride of the couple getting married

    Paul was amazing to work with! From the moment we contacted him, he was prompt to respond to us and throughout the process. Paul provided us with so much great ideas and really got to know us to know what we wanted. On top of that he takes amazing photos! Five star!!

    Paul is an absolute GEM! He was by fair our best vendor. As my husband said after our first meeting, "I just want to grab a beer with the guy". Paul was so easy to get along with and just "got" us-- it felt like we had known him forever. He made our wedding that much more special, by making it so easy for us.

    His schedule is packed (for obvious reasons), so if you can get him, book him ASAP!

    Fun, personable, relaxed, humorous, energetic, talented, creative...I could go on for days. Paul Reynolds and his wonderful team (including his sweet and super talented fiancé Shannon) are a wedding's dream photography team. I could not have asked for more.

    Paul was full of ideas and guidance regarding how to approach getting the best photos for our engagement and wedding itself. Furthermore, I was excited to host him and his team at the venue itself- literally felt like he was a dear, fun friend at the wedding, and I was excited for him and his team to interact with everyone at the wedding! Who would have thought that your photography team could be "part of the family" at your wedding? Seriously, Paul is a gem to work with and I admire him for his talent, dedication, and humility. Thank you Paul!

    Hiring Paul was one of the best decisions we made. He is incredibly kind, talented and passionate about his work. I loved that we barely even noticed him during the ceremony, which was very important to us. I also loved the chance to meet in person before the big day. All our guests remarked on how much they liked him. And our photos could not be more gorgeous! They truly capture the spirit of the day. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Paul -- you won't regret it!

    We booked Paul hoping for shots that were as good as those featured here and feel like we got some that are even better! He and his assistant did an excellent job capturing the beauty and feeling of our wedding. Paul was a joy to work with from beginning to end and one of the least stressful parts about planning our wedding. He lives up to his reputation and reviews so you better book him now before his schedule fills up!

    Paul was such a breeze to work with during our wedding planning and on our wedding day. He and his photography partner were very professional, communicative and they delivered above and beyond our exaptation's! We are SO happy with all of the beautiful photos, the quality of the photos and the details that were captured from our wedding day. Multiple wedding guests have since mentioned how incredible our photographers were. I had a hard time choosing which photos to put up on my walls at home because I want to show them all off :) My husband and I highly recommend Paul Reynolds Photography.

    I can't say enough positive things about Paul Reynolds Photography! Paul and his team did an AMAZING job with our wedding photos. We were blown away by the quality of the photos and the moments he captured. As the bride and groom you don't always get to witness everything that happens that day with your friends and family, but with Paul we did not miss a moment. He is not only an incredible and professional photographer, but a nice and personable person. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day and Paul made us laugh, feel relaxed and made the photo sessions feel completely natural. We will cherish the photos he took forever!!

    Using Paul was one of the best decisions we made (besides getting engaged haha)! He was the utmost professional throughout the entire planning process, easily accessible and communicative, and listened to all our photo dreams and stylistic ideas.
    On the actual day he and his amazing team showed up right on time and were present throughout the day while somehow managing to be almost invisible! He nailed all the shots and we are so incredibly pleased with the results. We wanted pictures that felt timeless, natural, and wanted our photos to look like "us." Paul completely delivered and we are going to treasure these photos forever!
    Honestly we could not recommend his services more. Also he just happens to be a very nice guy!

    Paul is one in a million. It’s easy to notice how thoughtful, organized, careful, and kind he is, but all this is missing the biggest point: he is a stellar and insanely talented artist. His eye is unparalleled and his results speak for themselves. He took two nervous kids and, with his calmness and kindness, made us feel comfortable on the biggest day of our life to date. Huge, huge recommendation.

    Paul was amazing to work with! Given that we were planning our wedding remotely, Paul was super flexible in terms of scheduling calls and random meetings to fit our schedule. On the day of the event, Paul was phenomenal at putting us at ease and immediately connected with our families and wedding party. He was super efficient and got all of our staged photos done before the wedding since we really wanted to enjoy hanging out with our friends and family once the ceremony was complete. We adore our photos and have been truly stunned at some of the gorgeous shots and hysterical moments he caught. Could not have asked for a better experience working with Paul!

    Wedding Date: October 1, 2016 Venue: Equinox Resort Manchester Center VT

    Beginning with our first meeting with Paul we were impressed by how personable and professional he was and how relaxed he made us feel. We chatted for two hours which flew by before we knew it! We had met with 2 other photographers before Paul, but you know what they say: We saved the best for last. He was on top of responding to e-mails, answering any and all questions we had. It was a bonus that he was familiar with The Equinox. We went up a few months before the wedding to finalize everything with the venue. He was accommodating in meeting up with us during that time to check out the venue as well as hear our ideas and what was important for us for our big day.

    As for the wedding day, Paul was laid back and easy to work with. Getting ready felt natural and fun. He’s the kind of guy who will lay in the dirt or trudge through the woods to get the perfect shot. When the timing of our schedule didn’t line up he calmly adjusted and communicated with us. For us, photography was very important. You will notice that Paul doesn’t need to use tons of filters to make his photos look great. They are clear, crisp, and full of color. Everyone has commented on how great they look! While there were many things to be stressed out about during our wedding day, our dealing with Paul was the least stressful part. He made it so easy and flow so smoothly. We 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking for a perfect blend of professional and easy to work with photographer for their big day!

    Looking for a photographer is one of the most exciting and difficult parts of the wedding planning process. From the moment we came across Paul's samples online to meeting him in person and hearing his unique artistic approach to capturing his incredible shots, we knew we were in good hands. Between building up our confidence and going above and beyond to map out and nail an ambitious Engagement shoot to navigating the complexities of a long wedding day with many competing priorities and personalities, Paul and his second shooter worked tirelessly to pull off something truly special and have fun with us doing it. Everyone was blown away by the end results. We're so thankful that he was available (increasingly difficult!) for our special day and hope that we get the chance to work with him again in the future. Best decision that we made for our wedding no question - thanks Paul!

    Paul was beyond professional. I’ve known Paul for a long time and watched his progression throughout the years. The shots and creativity he puts into his work reflect just how amazing he is. He’s not only an excellent photographer, he also is a great help on your wedding day. Hire him ASAP!!!

    Paul captured our special day perfectly and we could not have asked for more beautiful photos to remember our day by. The attention to detail and professionalism were on point.
