The Gernands were exceptional as photographers for our wedding a month ago, we can't recommend them enough
Sam and Pily were all that we could ask for in photographers and more! They photographed our wedding this past weekend and it is obvious that they have a genuine love for what they do. We already received a few of our "sneak peek" photos the very next morning and they are breathtakingly beautiful and unique! For a couple that usually hates having their photo taken and is kind of awkward in front of the camera, they made our wedding photo experience relaxing, fun, and special. They are a great couple and we can't wait to get the rest of our gallery! Highly recommend!
I can’t believe I never wrote a review!!!! Pily and Sam were absolutely amazing. Best money spent at our wedding and they had fun and mixed so well with our family and friends. They are passionate and love what they do and it shows. They are also amazing at what they do! I loved all of our beautiful photos and they caught so many candid ones and special moments. The absolute best!!!!!!!
