    An Absolute Dream

    Justin was by far one of the highlights of our wedding. From the moment we connected online, I knew he was going to be more than just a photographer.

    His photography style was exactly what we were looking for in terms of both style of shots and the final look and feel of the photos. He captured our best moments, made us look wonderful, and gave us a collection of photos that we will forever cherish.

    He was so pleasant to chat with, and even had a chance to meet up with us in person before the big day. At our wedding he was fun and excited, and made our entire bridal party (and all of our guests) feel at ease!

    Justin is phenomenal!

    As with every other reviewer here, my wife and I cannot say enough great things about Justin and his work!

    I found Justin because he and I both studied under the same professor in college, so I knew he was coming from a good foundation, but was blown away when I started looking at his portfolio and discussing pricing with him. Justin's photographs (especially the sneak-peeks of our wedding we've received so far) are spectacular and exude pure romance and happiness.

    It's true what he says: he will never overly pose you to make fake-looking shots. Everything he does makes you feel at ease, in love, and just ready to have fun on your Big Day. All of our family and friends couldn't stop raving about how much they love Justin and about how hard he was working before, during, and after our ceremony and reception. I swear, he must be on the "Wedding Photographer" workout plan because he was all over the place, capturing shots of all the important parts of our day. All the while seemingly blending into the background...I think he's a ninja or something.

    Hire Justin. Just do it. You won't have any regrets and will come away feeling like you've gained a new best friend!

    Honestly Justin was/is a dream come true when it comes to the perfect photographer! My fiancé and I booked him to do both our engagement shoot and our wedding. I am in a homosexual relationship and my partner and I were afraid we may not be able to get married with the laws on a constant state of change. We decided to elope with our family and we wanted to photograph the day! Justin was able to accommodate us last minute and allowed us to use our "engagement session" as our first wedding session and he will still be at our celebration reception in 2018. We got our photos back and I cried looking at them. The way Justin captured our love and silliness was amazing and I couldn't have hoped for a better final product. The value of these pictures is everything and more and I can't wait to have these and our next set of photos forever!

    Y'ALL. Look no further. Seriously. Justin is 1,000% the right choice if you are looking for a fun-loving, romantic vibe. My now husband and I searched for what seemed like an eternity (or a few months) for the perfect photographer, but as soon as we saw Justin's work we knew we had our guy. We ended up hiring him from Orlando, ,FL to travel into St. Augustine, FL. He is so reasonably priced and amazing to work with. He is always quick to respond and extremely personable. Our wedding party and guests adored him and I just truly cannot say enough great things about him. Our engagement session photos were beyond beautiful and I know our wedding pictures will be nothing short of stunning. Seriously - just visit his website and you'll know that you have found the right photographer and new best friend xoxoxo

    I can not say enough great things about Justin! His work is incredible, better than we ever could've imagined. We are huge on natural looking photos, that look candid and not posed. Justin hit it out of the park, and we can be harsh critics. Not only would I recommend him highly, I definitely planning on using him for whatever I can.

    Justin made us feel comfortable through our entire shoot, and he is just a blast overall to be around so we had a lot of fun too. He keeps everything professional while also being laid back. He had incredible ideas to make everything look natural, and playful. He has an amazing eye for candid-esque poses. But was also very open to our ideas and suggestions. He is just a wonderful person to be a part of any shoot especially and engagement/wedding shoot.

    Highly, highly recommended. If you want the best, you have found it.

    Sorry new husband, I am madly in love with Justin! His personality is just amazing. The very first time I spoke to him on the phone, I was just drawn in at how friendly he is and how passionate he is about his work. I spoke to him about my vision and what I wanted captured, and he totally got me. He gave me the opportunity to look at some of his photos from other weddings, and there was one wedding in particular where I saw that he captured EVERYTHING that would be important to me on my big day. When I met Justin in person, I knew I made the right decision. We opted for the full day service and I am so glad – Justin got everything from top to bottom. He also fit in with my family just fine, I can’t tell you how many times I caught a glimpse of him dancing while taking pix – loved it! Now for the most important thing…our wedding was on July 8th and I got an email from Justin on August 6th with the full gallery of photos!!! LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! I lost count of how many times I have looked at these photos and cried my face off. Thanks to Justin, I can re-live my wedding over and over just based on these phenomenal photos. Something I noticed that I absolutely adored is that he caught so many moments between myself and my husband where we are laughing and joking around in between our posed pictures. My favorite part of my relationship with my husband is that we’re both ridiculous, we say ridiculous things, we joke around all the time and we’re almost always laughing. So when I saw that in the pictures, I was filled with so much love. I can continue on and one but I will end with this – HIRE JUSTIN! God willing, when I get pregnant, I would love for him to do both my maternity and then new baby photoshoots….hoping he will still be working in Florida when that time comes!!! xoxo

    Justin!!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about him. He is literally the photographer that says YAAASSS. Haha he is amazing. From the moment I talked to him on the phone for a consultation I knew I wanted him as our photographer. His pictures are gorgeous AND he doesn't try to charge you an unrealistic amount. Justin, was so good at keeping in contact with me throughout planning our wedding. My family and friends loved him. We haven't seen our pictures yet, but we did get to see some sneak peeks and we have NO DOUBT that these pictures will be anything but amazing.

    I could write several novels about how great Justin is, truly. He is a true artist. We have done an engagement shoot with him, and booked him for our wedding as well. On both occasions, we had an absolute blast!!

    I swear I felt like Justin responded to our emails and texts before we even sent them, and at just about any time of the day or night. When does he sleep? It's a mystery.

    I felt so bad on the day of our engagement shoot, because we were so late to our set time! But, Justin made us feel like we were old friends, and he was very patient and accommodating. He listened to our expectations and produced beautiful, artistic, romantic shots of the two of us. We were probably really awkward and just didn't know exactly what to do, but he provided a lot of great guidance and we ended up with some really flattering photos that evoked a romantic feeling. We talked and got to know each other, and everything just felt really relaxed. He got those photos to us so fast! He told us 2-3 weeks, but we got them in 6 days, I believe.

    On the day of our wedding, Justin worked nonstop and connected with our families and friends. Everyone raved about how great he was, and how he was there at every turn, getting his shot. We have not seen our wedding photos yet, but we have already seen what he can do with a camera, so it will be a real treat to see the ceremony & reception photos!!

    On value, we couldn't believe what we were seeing when we first visited his site and saw his price compared to his photos. All I can say is that I'm so glad we were able to book him at SUCH an amazingly low price.

    On a final note, he is just so funny. So, so funny and charming and fun to be around. We loved "working" with him the most out of any of our vendors, I say "working" because we always just kind of felt like best friends hanging out. We are a lesbian couple, and happy to say that we were in great hands with Justin as our photographer.

    WOW!!! Just wow!!! Justin is amazing and his pictures are perfect. He managed to capture our personalities and every emotion. I cannot get over how great our photos turned out. He's laid back, but on point, and made us all feel so comfortable and at ease. Absolutely beautiful photos, and an amazing person. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for real and in the moment pictures with such beautiful grace!

    There are not enough wonderful things to say about Justin and his work! Our photos are GORGEOUS, he captured all of the important things and all of the candid, fun moments we want most to remember. He also delivered the final, edited photos incredibly quickly.
    Justin is very professional, and also very positive. I received feedback from multiple bridal party members and family members about how upbeat and fun he was to work with, and how he kept everyone on track but always had a smile. We experienced this with both our engagement shoot and wedding day, he is so funny and flexible and always has a smile on his face. Whether it was just the two of us or a large group, he had no trouble making everyone feel comfortable and kept us laughing.
    He also has a wonderful way of gently directing the shoot. My husband loved this, as there was no guesswork for him. Justin was always ready to step in and offer suggestions during portraits, so we were sure of where we should look, etc, and knew our photos were coming out perfectly. However, when we asked for certain photos/locations/poses, he was always excited to fulfill our wishes and make the most of whatever it was we wanted.
    During the planning process I never had any trouble contacting him, and he spoke with me repeatedly to ensure we had the same vision. His prices are also very reasonable, and he uses his time well to make sure you are getting your money's worth.
    Many people told me that choosing a photographer is one of the most important parts of your wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with our decision. Our day was perfect, and so are our photos.

    I remember when my husband and I first got engaged, the most important thing to us was a photographer. We searched and searched for days until a friend of mine mentioned Justin Gilbert. His pictures were breathtaking and they had that artistic look and feel that we desired as a couple. Luckily, we were able to book him!

    While I expected his photos to be good, the pictures he captured of us for our engagement were more brilliant than I could have ever anticipated.

    We felt so comfortable around him and he gave us the guidance and input we desperately wanted.

    As for the wedding, he took complete charge and made my day so much easier. He even brought in a second shooter who was so fun to work with and be around. Both of them were so professional, fun and just a pleasure. I honestly think his work speaks for itself. I wish I could hire him a million more times.

    5 stars for sure, if not more.
