    I LOVE working with Gilmore studios!! They are the only ones I trust to take our photos and have done our prom, engagement, wedding, and family photos. They are so professional but also make it feel natural and fun instead of awkward. You won't find better photographers than the Gilmores!

    We were very pleased with the excellent photography captured by Gilmore Studios for our wedding day. We were drawn to the timelessness and classic style of their work, and knew we would enjoy these photos for the rest of our lives. We contracted for an all-day shoot, including getting ready shots, first look, wedding, and reception. The photos documented all the important moments requested, while also looking beautiful and natural. Jennifer adhered to the timeline and efficiently gathered family members for group photos. The wedding album my parents and I received will become cherished heirlooms of our wedding day. We were beyond happy with the outcome and quality of the album, and it was exactly what we wanted. We would highly recommend Gilmore studios for their professionalism, relaxed personalities, and timeless style.

    Jennifer and Brian are an amazing photography duo! They took our engagement and wedding photos and we can't get over how amazing the photos turned out. Jennifer is very organized and knows how to capture the most serene looking photos in a chaotic environment. She makes the shoot fun, seamless, and enjoyable. Don't worry if being in front of a camera makes you feel shy. She will tell you where to put your hands, where to turn and look, while Brian takes shots from afar and captures amazing candids. They're both so genuine, sweet and talented! We are so happy to have hired them to capture our big day and we are in love with their photos! If you're looking for a photographer for any occasion, you can stop looking now!

    Gilmore Studio's made our baby dreams come to life, they were so organized and helpful. Their communication was so amazing, before our session they sent me an email with tips on what to do to make our photo session a success, she is my 3rd baby and I feel like she is my "crankiest" so I was extremely nervous going into the session but Jennifer made me feel right at home and our baby girl slept peacefully through the whole shoot! They asked me to send over photos of newborn photo styles I liked from Pinterest, a picture of our nursery and what colors we would like to see her in. They really cared about what our lifestyle was like so that we would get the best photos for our family and home. The delivery of the photos was so quick after our session, I couldn't be more pleased. I would definitely recommend Gilmore Studios to anyone looking for a family photo shoot and/or newborn photography

    Hello, Husband!
    Misty P.

    We were originally planning a large wedding in October some things came up and so decided on a small courthouse wedding. We contacted Gilmore studios about five days prior to the date. They were very flexible and were able to help us out. It was pure dumb luck to have found them and it all worked out perfectly. It never does, but somehow this was the only thing that actually worked out. I'm extremely happy with the photos. Thank you, Gilmore Studios!

    Happy 1st Birthday!!

    See all

The photos are absolutely beautiful and capture the joy and emotion of the day perfectly. Looking through them feels like reliving the whole celebration. We are so grateful to Erin for preserving these memories so beautifully.

She offered support and guidance from her experience when we needed it most. At times, she even operated as our last-minute therapist over FaceTime! Her work is uniquely story-driven. The secretly shared looks, the spontaneous reactions, the one moment of courage from your dancing uncle--your immortalized memories will be captured in a way no one would think possible. No need to worry about costs here: her generosity with her photography packages far surpass your financial investment. The digitals were absolutely stunning; on the day we received our gallery, we laughed and cried as we relived the night. You can really hear the laughter and music in each frame--without the need for oversaturation nor heavy editing. ​​And even the film photos we received were beautiful and encapsulated such a modern moment through a classic lens. Somehow, she was able to find all the spontaneous moments throughout the venue and throughout the night. Going through our own gallery, we were thinking to ourselves: "How did she magically teleport from here to there and manage ​to catch both dad laughing and mom crying at the same time?!" And how is Erin able to catch the natural light? It's because her glowing spirit itself emanates the brightness you need--​both through the camera and through her positive, passionate energy. This is our love letter to you, Erin. We can only hope more lovely people find their way to you.

Those pictures marketed me well and helped me get an agent as well as book a lot of work. From the moment I met him, Glenn made me feel comfortable and at ease, which helped me to relax and get some great shots.

    It was a pleasure to work with Justin Kim. After looking through his work on Instagram and reading…read morethe great reviews on Yelp, we decided to choose him as the photographer for our wedding on November 2025 at Five Crowns. We were very impressed by his professionalism and talent. Since we're not used to taking professional photos, he gave clear directions and made us feel comfortable on our big day. Turnaround time for the edited photos was quick and we're very happy with them. We're thankful to have him as our photographer and will recommend him to anyone that asks.

    I was referred to Justin by a friend and am confident that he was the best photographer that I…read morecould have booked for my wedding. From the beginning, he was very responsive and communicative about his services, expectations and things to consider for the big day. As someone who was planning her own wedding and did not have a coordinator, I very much appreciated his guidance and wisdom since he has so much experience with shooting weddings! He was very understanding and patient when it came to details regarding my timeline (which I sent to him only a week before the event). On the day of, we were running late in the morning, but Justin showed up early and even kindly stayed 20 minutes later than scheduled to make sure we could squeeze in all the group pictures that we wanted. Also, to both of our surprises, my uncle showed up with a camera, but Justin was very understanding and accommodating about the matter and made sure both he and my uncle were able to capture shots without getting in each other's ways. Justin did such a wonderful job positioning my husband and me for shots. We did not really come with any ideas in mind, but Justin had such a wide array of poses, both direct and candid, that we absolutely loved. He also did such a great job showcasing both of us individually and fluffing my train/highlighting the beauty of my wedding dress! Andrew, his son and the second photographer, was also so sweet and helped make sure the full effect of my veil was captured on camera. I am also so appreciative that they went out of their way and captured some special moments via video for us to have (we did not have a videographer). Overall, Justin and his team are extremely friendly, professional and flexible with the best possible attitude and careful attention to detail. I cannot believe the sheer amount of pictures that I received from the wedding day and how much time it must have taken them to carefully touch up and edit each and every single photo. Most of my pictures were taken indoors, but the lighting in the photos is immaculate. Truly, I am so grateful to have hired Justin and his team for my special day, and I would not hesitate to book and recommend him for any future photography needs.

We finally confirmed a date for May 2nd, and she emailed saying that "in order to secure the date, I need to send a deposit of $500.00." I asked to have a phone call before I just Zelle money to a random person, but she said she doesn't take phone calls from clients because she's too busy. She then said there is someone else wanting May 2nd and for me to hurry with the deposit. So I went ahead with good faith and Zelle'd her $500.00 on Friday. She sent me her contract Friday night, which was Passover, so we were busy with the family holiday and didn't get a chance to fully review the contract until Sunday morning. Which at that point, she emailed me saying that May 2nd is no longer available, and the contract had been canceled. I sent the deposit with the confirmation that it was to secure the May 2nd date. There's no other date that works for my family, so I asked for a refund since she can no longer honor the agreed date. At first, she said no, her policy is no refunds on deposits. She then said, okay, she will refund me but it will take 3 business days. And now she is completely refusing to refund us, and stopped all communication, and said she's reporting us to her bank as fraud! Like, are you kidding me! She blatantly stole money from us! It's clear this lady is a professional scam artist and does this shady stuff often. I should have known when she refused to speak with me on the phone. Red flag! We honestly don't know what to do, or how to get our money back. As a client I would beware of this lady! It's so sad how dishonest some people are. I believe in Karma and I know karma will do its job with this lady!
