Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Fantastic experience working with Geoff. From the beginning to the end, he was professional, knowledgeable, fast, helpful. We were surprised with the speed and eye that Geoff had starting with the engagement shoot to our wedding. He knows what he's doing! He sent us resources to help with wedding planning and also walked us through what we needed to know for the day of since we were DIYing the wedding. I thought prices were reasonable for his experience, support, and product! Especially for the area :) Thank you Geoff for capturing our journey from engagement to wedding! We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Geoff. I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, but the pictures genuinely blew me away. His eye for beauty and creativity is like no other. Communication with him was clear and concise from the beginning. It is easy to tell he has such a strong passion for what he does. He was very patient with me throughout the entirety of this process, as I have adhd and am terrible with responding to emails. We had a “planned elopement” in Vermont, and even though we didn't meet until the day of, he was very professional and everything went very smooth.In the time leading up to my wedding we had phone calls and message threads to ensure everything wou...

We had the pleasure of meeting Geoff at a wedding show and won a free engagement photoshoot with him. He was great to work with and took beautiful photos, so we also hired him to shoot our wedding! He does great work and was a blast to work with. We couldn't recommend him enough! - Sydney and Elisha

Geoff did a fantastic job working our wedding. I really enjoyed working with him from our initial conversation through getting all of our photos back! Geoff went above and beyond scouting locations or choosing poses we hadn't thought of. We had an amazing photoshoot on Church Street in Burlington and a magical photoshoot at the end of the night in my second wedding dress. He also navigated our large wedding party and family without issue and provided an excellent combination of details, close ups, candids, and posed photos. I would highly recommend booking with Geoff!

Geoff did such an amazing job for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. He was very professional and clearly knew what he was doing. It was also very clear that he has a very strong passion for the job and art he creates. Geoff also responded in a very timely manner and always seemed to be one step ahead of what we thought needed to happen. His perfectionism showed true during the time photos were taken, by simple comments of “No, I won’t like that one, so just a few more guys.”, and also when seeing our final results. I would strongly recommend Geoff to anyone in need of photography, and especially for that special day! Thank you Geoff, Matt
