    Amazing photographers & people

    The Gawnes are amazing people and photographers. Our photos are beautiful and captured our day perfectly. We have received so many compliments and I cannot wait to hang them in our home. They went above and beyond and took pictures/video of my grandma and I the weekend before my wedding because she was not comfortable attending due to covid. They also helped me design a Christmas card to send out after the wedding. You will not regret choosing them as your photographers!

    Terrific experience!

    My husband and I hired the Gawnes for our wedding, and they were a terrific choice on every level. They were reasonably priced, flexible, and delivered truly incredible photos. (They are also lovely, kind people whom we were lucky to share our special day with!) Maria captured the best moments of the evening, even the little ones that we didn't even notice. She had a great eye and memorialized our wedding better than we could have imagined. They are worth every penny and then some. Highly recommended.

    The Dynamic Duo!

    Brian and Maria are hands down not only the best photographers, but one of the best people my husband and I have ever had the pleasure to meet and work with. They are an absolute dream team together. You will be spending a great amount of time with your photographers on your wedding day. So to have people who are not only phenomenally wonderful at what they do, but also incredibly fun, positive and excited, hilarious, at what they do is just as important. I can easily say that Brian and Maria were a big part as to why my husband and I, family, and guests had such a wonderful wedding day. We’ve already seen a few teaser photos before we see the final photos, and we are ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE. I almost cried. They just perfectly captured our feelings and emotions perfectly with their photography. They made getting our big family photos very organized. They have fool proof beautiful poses that they asked us to do, mixed with some hilarious and very heartwarming candid photos. What drew us initially to them was the breathtaking sunset photos from their portfolio, and while we have yet to see them, we are SO excited to see them. If you have any reservations at all, don’t. Like AT ALL. We want Brian and Maria to do our maternity photos and family photos in the future. That’s how wonderful they are. We love you guys!!!

    Absolute best photographers

    We heard of the Gawnes through the Z Mansion, where we originally planned on getting married. Once we saw their pictures and talked to Brian at the fair they do on Wednesdays at Z Mansion, we know there was no one else we'd rather work with. I told Brian we wanted to face the fountain at Z instead of the gazebo, he said with our date and when the sun would set, the gazebo would be better for lighting. When I told Brian I didn't want to do first look, he said doing first look helps get rid of some of the pre-ceremony nerves and walking down the aisle is still a special experience, despite seeing each other before. From that moment, I knew they had my best interests at heart and wanted to give me the best pictures of my wedding. I trusted them fully, and I was not disappointed. We didn't end up getting married at Z Mansion, but I have zero regrets doing first look and their creative and artistic vision captured the most beautiful moments of our day. We are obsessed with our pictures and absolutely loved working with Brian and Maria. To say they are amazing would be an understatement. I absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married. Your pictures are a big part of how you will remember your wedding forever, and they capture the best ones.

    Top Notch Photography Team that gives all the LOVE

    The Gawnes went the extra mile for our wedding and we couldnt ask for any better photos of us on our wedding day. They caught those beautiful raw emotions that sometimes you forget after being married for a while. They are professional and help you stay on schedule. We have continued to work with the gawnes after our wedding :)

    Best vendor decision ever!

    I cannot say enough good things about The Gawnes. They were hands down our best vendor decision ever! They were VERY accessible and helped with so many wedding details that were above and beyond what we were expecting from our photographers. They were extremely organized and responsive which alleviated a lot of stress during the wedding planning process and also the day of. Brian and Maria are super passionate about photography and their pictures are truly a work of art. The Gawnes are also SO FUN to work with which helps a lot since you spend the most time with your photographers on your wedding day than anyone else! If you are looking to book a wedding photographer, look no further. The Gawnes WILL NOT disappoint.

    The Gwanes are absolutely amazing! I am in love with my wedding photos. I feel so beautiful looking at how they captured me on my day. They also got so many great candid shots of our friends and family. I am seriously blown away every time I look at them. We also got super lucky and had an amazing sunset. The Gwanes were able to capitalize on the beauty of the sunset and the Z Mansion is actually using our photo in promotional shots! The minute we saw their body of work, we knew we wanted them to do our wedding. The pictures we ended up with were worth every. single. penny. I can't recommend them more strongly!

    Maria and Brian flew out to Florida to shoot our destination wedding and they were AMAZING!! They were extremely thorough and made sure all the pictures we were envisioning on our special day were captured. We had the best time with them and would book them again in a heart beat! Loved every second of it and so thankful they could make it all the way to Florida for our day!! Thank you both so much!!

    The Gawnes were absolutely wonderful! My husband and I would rather be behind a camera than in front of one, but Maria and Brian put us at ease and made both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding photos fun and laid-back experiences! They are very professional and make a great team, treating you like a friend and not just a client. Any questions we had, they answered them quickly, and they offered different wedding packages so we were able to find one that fit our budget. My husband and I wanted to do some of our first look photos at a distillery we really like instead of the bar that was closer to our venue, the Gawnes didn't hesitate. They even brought us to another venue close to the one we chose, and the pictures taken there are some of our favorites! They captured the big moments as well as the small, tender moments during our wedding day and we couldn't be happier with our photos! Maria even did the bustle on my wedding dress and switched out my veil for my jeweled hair comb after the ceremony! The Gawnes are amazing and we highly recommend them!

    The Gawnes were amazing at my recent wedding! They were so helpful, and made the picture process fun and easy for my photo-newbie husband and I. They showed us some of the pictures they'd taken as they worked and I'm so excited to see the final products. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone getting married in the area!

    We absolutely LOVED Maria and Brian. They took amazing photos and were so patient with us. They were game for 'fun', interesting photos and that's exactly what I wanted! We also didn't feel 'stiff' and posed for our photos. They captured genuine moments between us! We would absolutely use them again and actually we will this summer!

    Maria and Brian are amazing people. We had our engagement and wedding photos done with Gawne. We are extremely satisfied and have received many compliments from our family and friends. They made sure we got certain poses we wanted and that we got everyone we wanted in our photos including our dog who was our ring bearer! They are very pet friendly!

    Brian and Maria are awesome!! Husband and Wife team that are really fun to work with. Maria is a master of many trades. Not only can she take amazing photos, but she stepped in and bustled my dress is no time at all, and even took it upon herself to help and encourage a family member who was having a hard time with a performance during our reception.
    Their photos are fun and modern, beautiful memories to last us a lifetime!

    I absolutely LOVED Gawne photography! Maria and Brian were so professional and helpful. They helped us with our poses and they let us know what was and wasn't working. They were also such an awesome couple and made the whole experience fun. Not to mention that our photos turned out incredibly beautiful! We love every single one and it makes it difficult to choose which ones to use in an album! Highly, highly recommend!
