You spend months—or even years—planning your wedding day, only for it to fly by. You deserve to enjoy every second with your loved ones, eating amazing food, celebrating with a champagne toast, and breaking it down on the dance floor.
“We had never taken professional photos before and were sure we would look stiff, but Garrett coached us through everything and made us feel so comfortable. And the finished product? Incredible. He gave us the retro, fun, indie vibes we were looking for.”
“We worked with Garrett for our engagement photos and wedding and he is the best! He’s such a fun guy who makes you feel totally comfortable taking pictures. Plus, the photos turn out amazing! We are so glad we chose Garrett as our photographer.”
An engagement session is the perfect addition to your wedding photography package! Commemorate your time as fiancés with personality-filled engagement photos. Use your pictures for your save-the-dates, wedding guestbook, or keep them for yourselves.
For small, romantic ceremonies with fewer guests (or just the two of you!). You’re free to create the package that best suits your celebration.
”We hate spending money, and we hate having our photo taken. Booking Garrett for our wedding (July 2024) was the BEST money we ever spent, and we have never had more FUN having our photo taken. Garrett is a gem. He was a joy to have at our wedding. Everyone remarked at how pleasant, professional, and talented Garrett is.
"What initially drew us to Garrett’s work was his appreciation for natural light. Of course, he also captured all those fun / trendy flash and grainy film images we wanted. But no two weddings he captures look the same. You can tell he does not enforce a specific “tone” or “aesthetic”. He captures what is there and what is real but in the most beautiful way possible. When we look at our wedding photos, we are transported back."
Your photos deserve to exist outside of your hard drive. So rather than allowing them to collect Internet dust for years on end, let’s create a well-crafted, tangible heirloom to share with your loved ones and show off for generations to come.
Wondering how it works? You select your favorite photos and album customizations and then leave the rest to me. I’ll design your album with care and meticulous attention to detail before reviewing it together and making any necessary changes so the final result is absolutely perfect. Once it’s ready, I’ll send it directly to your home!
To get started, submit an inquiry form and we’ll schedule a consultation. We’ll get to know each other better and you’ll tell me all about your wedding vision. Once we’ve created your package, a signed contract and a 25% deposit will secure your date on my calendar.
Your wedding adventure is officially underway! In addition to your comprehensive Wedding Success Guide, I'm here to offer expert advice and support every step of the way with routine check-ins and more.
Say yes to your favorite person and soak up every moment. While you jet off on your honeymoon, I'll be hard at work curating and editing your final gallery. Your previews will be complete in three days, and your final gallery will be ready to view within 6 weeks.
Yes! I am registered in New York State under the legal business name Garrett Maynard Photo Company, LLC. I also have up-to-date business and property liability COIs that are available to review upon request.
Every good backup system incorporates lots of redundancy. While I'm on site, I carry two cameras so I can continue photographing if one fails and there are two cards in each creating immediate duplicates of every photo I capture. When I get home, your photos are backed up to two more drives and kept in separate locations, with at least one copy in a waterproof and fireproof safe. This process results in a total of 4 different copies (two cards and two hard drives) to ensure safety in the event of multiple drive failures.
In general, no. Part of the price you pay is the hours of backend work I do to bring your day to life with mindful editing and gallery curation. The RAW images are not a reflection of my work.
Most of my final photos never see Photoshop for a second and are edited to make colors, skin tones, and light look the best they can while retaining the original feel. I don't manipulate body shape...Small blemishes, zits, smudges, or distracting elements in the background may be removed to make the subject more impactful.
Great question! Your photos will be delivered to your email as a link to a private online gallery. You will have full access to the gallery and can provide access to others at your discretion. All photos are delivered fully edited and without watermarks. Downloads are unlimited and free of charge.
I always have two Canon 5D Mark IV bodies each equipped with a 35mm f/1.4, a 50mm f/1.2, or an 85mm f/1.4 lens.
Of course! Your gallery will have a high-quality, full-service print shop attached where you can create prints, canvasses, cards, etc. Otherwise, upon downloading your gallery, you will receive a printing release that covers you if a print company asks for professional printing permissions.
