Life is in Transition. As a wedding and family photographer, I do so much more than just take photos. I capture memories and moments that define us - moments of transition from one life to the next. These moments are worth capturing. These moments are forever.

We hired Gary to be the photographer for our recent wedding.It was a small intimate affair and appreciated that he was so accommodating to our needs. We weren't looking for the whole traditional wedding photography package, Gary worked with what we wanted. I can't say enough about the quality of his work. In capturing both formally posed and "natural" shots, he provided so many images that I will have to look back on this very special day in my life. He suggested so many great poses and backdrops both indoors and out and just loved the final results-memories I will have for a lifetime, thank you Gary for everything. More...

Gary did a great job of creating a memorial portrait of my brother in law by scanning, cropping and photoshopping a snapshot with another person in it-at very short notice . Amazing work!

On January 9th, 2016 my family and I had a photo shoot done with Gary's Lens Photography. It was a great day, and we had a great time. When we got our photos I was very pleased and everyone that I show them to loves them. I will be using Gary's Lens Photography again to do photos for me and my family, or even for a special occasion as it was well worth what I paid for them. More...

Gary captured our wedding day with so much detail, to the point we feel like we're reliving each moment. Not only did he jump in a canoe to capture our canoe ride, but remained calm when we were held up by a train, and even captured details that we hardly noticed! Thanks so much for your hard work and for truly loving what you do! More...

We used Gary's Lens Photography for our Engagement / Wedding and were extremely pleased. Gary has a great eye for detail and composition and unique ideas to capture the perfect shots. He was super easy to get along with and very personable to our wedding party & guests which put everyone at ease. We highly recommend Gary's Lens, he was accommodating, made a lasting impression and his pricing did not break our budget. My husband gets kudos for this decision! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Keeping things light, happy and low stress! Of course the photos have to look good too, with good composition, lighting and posing.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Where do you see these photos in 20 years? Will they be treasured, or lost? How do you see them being displayed?
What do you love most about your job?
Smiling faces everywhere. Honestly, when I do my job well, everyone is happy and enjoying themselves, and they have great photos to prove it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Running my own schedule. Having worked under a number of businesses that defined who I was, it is nice to be able to create that definition myself.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am easy going and make any photo shoot comfortable. You will get great photos and have a great experience creating them.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

We can provide Zoom consultations, and digital delivery of items including a digital storefront for ordering prints.
