Photography G gets it!! Garrett and Kellie are professional, organized responsive, and easy to work with. Ok the business side out of the way... They are seriously awesome people. They love dogs, Denver, clearly enjoy people and the camera. They bring out something you may not even knew was there. It was a struggle to write the review because how to you even speak to someone giving you the most amazing pictures of a day that is so important. How do you speak to the enormity of what it means to us? Zach and I are shy in front of the camera. We are not center of attention people. Garrett made us feel super comfortable. Kellie made sure things were just right before the snaps. Garrett made us look like magazine covers, but not in a fake way. He captured very special and touching moments. And the thing is we never even saw them. They were everywhere and nowhere. I remember saying to Zach I am a bit worried did we get enough pictures... I don't know if we did. And then the gallery came back. WOW. There was the right amount without being took many and overwhelming. They were images of touching and special moments. The pictures are so beautiful that I cannot find any bad ones. The thumb drive you get is so nice. We can only imagine how gorgeous the album will be as soon as these newlyweds finish selecting!! Thank you and I hope we can meet up at Red Rocks for anniversary pictures through the years or even grab a drink when we are in Denver next time. When we planned our pandemic wedding from out of state there were certain key things that we needed. A killer dress, Red Rocks, and an amazing photographer who can make us less anxious with the attention were the key items for me as the bride. We got that for sure and then some. Thank you both for the video chats, emails, Live Photos before we arrived and were worried about the smoke, and of Course for the day of images that captured everything! Photography is not an areas to skimp on and choosing someone from out of state can be daunting however meeting you guys on the video chat and listening to how you describe your work, we felt like it was a fit from that moment on and we were right. Do yourself a favor and give Garrett and Kellie a call!! read more

The bride's experience: "When I first walked into Photography G's office and saw all the wonderful photographs I knew that he was the photographer that I wanted. He spent about an hour with us explaining the different light techniques that he would use, including short site lighting, and what we would expect the day of the wedding, and this was before we hired him. We knew that if he was going to take that much time beforehand that he would make sure our wedding day was a priority. Because our wedding time was later in the day we knew that we wouldn't have time for the first glance going down the aisle but we wanted that moment to be special. Garrett choreographed my fiancé to be waiting just perfectly around the corner, and he took the perfect photo of my fiancé looking up at me for the first time in my wedding dress. And not only did he make that moment special he made sure to have that same moment with my dad and mom. These are the moments that I will remember for the rest of my life and Garrett captured them amazing! And the best part was he gave us not just a wedding photo album but a beautiful black box that contained each of our photos on felt weave paper, this enabled me to hang my photos up around my house so that everyone is able to see that day, seven months later. I was so impressed by Garrett's talent on the first day, on my wedding day, and the photos that came later, I can't wait to have him photograph us on our first year anniversary. Thank you Garrett!" The groom's experience: "Garrett Hacking was recommended to my fiancé and I by our wedding venue. My fiancé had a little more experience with how to choose photographers but I just wanted to find someone that had the same expectation and knew what they were doing, because I didn't. Immediately after meeting with Garret, I knew that he knew exactly what photos to take and I was not disappointed on our wedding day. He captured the most amazing photos of me and my bride, my family, my military buddies and our guests. I would recommend Photography G in a heartbeat." read more

Stop your search right now and hire Garrett Hacking as your wedding photographer. I knew from the first moments I saw Gary's work that he would be the one capturing my most treasured memories on my wedding day. And this was before I even got engaged! I met Gary in maybe 2000 or 2001, at least ten years before I became engaged in 2011. He showed me some of his photography (he does not only weddings, but corporate work, portraits, and even pets, among other specialties), and my decision was made. In fact, I wasn't even living in Colorado anymore when one day, in 2006, I remember telling him, "Gary, when I get married, no matter where it is or if I have to fly you there, I want you to photograph my wedding." And sure enough, the day finally came in 2012, at the Jersey Shore, and there was Gary, ready to capture the moments! He was so professional and most of all, calm. Both he and his assistant Carolyn kept the day flowing perfectly, from the Getting Ready routine to our First Look moments to the pre-wedding photos on the beach. We then moved over to the wedding venue, taking more pictures before the ceremony, then during, and of course at the reception. But my very favorite photos came later in the afternoon. We planned a special sunset shoot, wherein my husband and I snuck away from the party for some spectacular sunset shots on the docks at the marina behind my venue. These photos are magnificent beyond words. If you want to see them, I am glad to show samples, although Gary may have them on his website. I should also mention that Photography G was astoundingly affordable. It was less costly to pay for Gary's professional fees PLUS transportation and hotel and rental car, than it would have been to hire one of the shyster photographers in New Jersey who all wanted $7,000 or more. And Gary worked from 10am through 6:30pm! (Yes, I paid a bit extra for the overtime, as anyone should.) Hire Photography G. Today! read more

My husband and I have been working with Garrett at Photography G for 7.5 years. We first met Garrett at a bridal show at our wedding venue, Lionscrest Manor. He and my husband share a love of music and hit it off immediately. On the day of our wedding, we could not have asked for a better photography team! Unfortunately the weather wasn't ideal, however, we were still able to get many outdoor shots that turned out better than I could have imagined. Garrett was creative in making the best of the situation to make sure we still had beautiful memories of that day. We've always had such great compliments on our wedding photos, and when we decided to expand our family 5 years later we called Photography G to see if they would take maternity photos for us. We were extremely excited that Photography G would not only take the photos but also put together a package to capture that special time in our lives. The maternity photos were absolutely fantastic, and when our son was born Garrett was extremely flexible in photographing newborn, 6 month, and 1 year photo sessions. He was sympathetic to our baby's needs and didn't rush us through the shoots ensuring we were able to get great photos. We now have a "Photography G" wall in our home showcasing all of the photos. We even recently had a 2 year old session and struggled to decide which photos we wanted to purchase because so many of them turned out great (which was surprising given the attitude of a 2 year old!) Some of the photos from our adventures with Photography G can be seen on the website under Weddings - Milestones. read more

This is a review for Garret Hacking, owner and photographer of Photography G. We had the distinct pleasure of working with him during many phases of our wedding. This includes the initial meet to discuss our needs and ideas, the wedding itself, and ultimately the selection and delivery of our photos. He was very accommodating to all of our requests and was easy to work with. Garrett even invited us to a gallery style event showcasing his work. We attended and were impressed by all of his work; not just his wedding shots. His work at our wedding was superb. He always seemed to find the right angle for a shot and really came up with creative ideas for the bride and groom pictures. Having seen some of the other photographer's wedding photos on the Arrowhead website, we believe that he had a new and unique perspective and felt our pictures were truly distinct. He has a talent for catching that impromptu moment and eternalizing them on film without the subjects realizing they are being photographed. He made us feel comfortable, natural, and we had so much fun in the process. Many of our guest commented on how professional he was and our families were pleased with how seamless the picture order and delivery process was. He developed a great relationship with us through this process and went on to photograph two other of our family's weddings. All were very different in various settings and he captured everything beautifully. We have continued to stay in touch and look forward to using him for future needs as our "family" photographer. read more

Garrett did an outstanding job photographing my proposal to my then girlfriend, now fiancé. I wanted to capture the event digitally so my fiancé and I would have photos to share and look back on. I remember calling Garrett and explaining to him at a high-level what I wanted to do and that it was going to take place at City Park in Denver. He strongly suggested that we meet in advance at the proposal location to plan out the surprise together. Garrett was very professional; he walked me through the best photography spots for the time of time of day to ensure lighting was perfect. We discussed different angles and Garrett provided plenty of coaching to ensure I would be standing in the right spot and that I had my girlfriend on the correct side of me. I wanted to minimize her suspicion as much as possible so Garrett came up with a great idea to involve his assistant and his dog to serve as 'cover'. He acted as if he was taking photos of the two of them but all the while he was secretly photographing me walk my girlfriend through the park to the proposal spot we had picked out during our planning session. After the proposal we rented paddle boats and Garrett took some more great photos of us out on the pond. Less than a week later Garrett had all of our photos ready and the came out spectacular! We were very pleased with how they turned out and we are excited for all of our future photography needs because we know that Garrett has us covered. read more

Garrett was our wedding photographer in September 2010, and my wife and I are thankful every day that Garrett and Photography G were part of our special day. We have since been to several other weddings, and it was from those experiences that we realized how fortunate we were to have Garrett as our photographer. I truly believe Garrett's greatest strength is capturing authentic and natural moments. He avoids those canned and cheesy shots that so many other photographers love to focus on, and instead focuses on taking quality photographs that will stand the test of time. I jokingly call Garrett a photography "ninja" because he works behind the scenes, never gets in anyone's way, yet still manages to capture so many amazing moments. Garrett and his crew know what they're doing from the very start, and will not waste your time or the time of your guests. Garrett is not a photographer who merely dabbles in photography; his passion for photography is beautifully expressed through the quality of his work. Selecting a wedding photographer should not be taken lightly, and you need peace of mind that your photographer will produce quality photos that you will be truly happy with. Garrett's skill and professionalism will capture your day perfectly, and I know you will be elated with the quality of his work just as my wife and I were. Thank you again, Garrett! Sincerely, Adam V. read more

We were so lucky to find Garrett. He is an amazing photographer- in ways that my un-artistic mind probably can't even begin to understand. He took the most beautiful pictures of our big day. There is not a single shot I wish we had that he didn't get- perfectly. And yet I barely ever saw him the whole night. It's stunning really. I had some misgivings about our wedding day (nothing to do with Garrett), but as I was looking through the pictures for the first time, it was like all of that washed away. Garrett showed me all the sweet, beautiful moments of our wedding that I had forgotten or not been around to see. He captured everything; all the emotion, all the fun, and all the spirit. It made me realize just how special our wedding really was. There is no greater gift than that, I assure you. If his amazing pictures aren't enough, Garrett is the kind of person you want nearby on your wedding day. I think my favorite thing about having Garrett as our photographer, besides the unbelievable photos, is how grateful I was to have him around. He has such a calm, go-with-the-flow energy; sometimes just looking at him behind the camera would help me remember to breath and relax. He made the atmosphere laid-back and everything felt smooth and simple; yet another amazing gift on a crazy wedding day. We are very grateful for Garrett and feel very lucky to have found him. read more

My husband, Brian and I just celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary this week. As we do every year, we snuggled up on the sofa and flipped through our wedding album, reminiscing about our special day. Garrett Hacking captured every moment of our wedding and reception that we had hoped for, and then some. He surprised us by photographing intimate moments when we didn't even know he was around. We loved the candid shots of our friends and family laughing and hugging. We couldn't believe how well he preserved our big day. So many people have told me when looking through our photographs, that they felt like they were actually there. They are that good! Five years later, we are still so grateful to G. for his incredible work. It is timeless. It is artistic. It is the most precious momento. I have stayed in touch with Garrett over the years, even though we moved about 1200 miles away. When we get back to Denver for a visit, we will certainly be seeing him for photos of us with the addition of our baby boy, Sam. We look forward to that day. Garrett is such a wonderful person. It is obvious that he is a truly gifted photographer, but he is also a great person with a dear heart. Brian and I loved his company at the wedding, and even our family and friends told us how much they enjoyed him. He is just a very special person, and we are very blessed to have met him. read more

Investing in Garrett (Photography G) as our wedding photographer was hands down the best money we spent on the whole wedding! As promised, I barely noticed he was there during the event, but when we got the pictures back, we could see he had been everywhere! He was a fantastic coach for my now husband and me; he captured all of the important moments and then some. Even our "posed" pictures looked natural and candid. We felt so comfortable with Garrett and it showed. Our guests even commented on how great they thought he was! From the very start, I was convinced that Garrett is a professional. Wedding photography is not his hobby; he is a true artist with an eye and a vision. The way that he prints and displays the photos, which he'll detail and show you during your first visit with him, clearly demonstrates his commitment to his work as an art form. He takes the time to get to know you and what you want out of a photographer to make sure you're compatible. Garrett was able to bring out the best in everyone, from our littlest ring bearers to my 85 year-old grandma and everyone in between. We truly could not be happier with our choice to work with Garrett and his to work with us. Garrett won't just be our wedding photographer; we plan to make him our family photographer for baby portraits, anniversaries, and all the rest! read more

Garrett was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and so much more. Our big day was crazy like only a wedding day could be, but the moments that Garrett so masterfully captured are absolutely stunning! We truly had an artist capturing our special day and it is clearly evident in the photos. During our honeymoon, we kept saying it felt like a dream and it wasn't until we got home and saw Garrett's beautiful pictures that it finally became a reality for us. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result. Garrett has this calm demeanor that made having hundreds of pictures taken of my bride and I so much easier. And that made all the difference in the world. He was there happy and content at every interaction. And he patiently wrangling our family and friends together for pictures, which is no easy task. He knows how to work a camera and a crowd. He really knows how to make everyone feel at ease and comfortable, even young kids. My nieces loved Garrett. The photos he takes are just breathtaking! Just breathtaking! We are so please we decided on Garrett and now we feel fortunate to have such amazing pictures to cherish our big day for the rest of our lives. He is, hands down, the best! read more

My daughter and I tromped through 3 big bridal fairs before we met Garrett. All the photographers and their display books just started to blur together....and then we met Garrett. There is just something about him---when you meet him, you....just....know...... He is not aggressive, he takes more of the old-fashioned, emotional pics that you cherish forever, he was never underfoot, he was not pushy or impatient when everybody else was displaying 'disorganized pressure' trying to get ready in the bridal suite, he was organized, he found out what we wanted ahead of time and delivered, he's on time and appeared to be relaxed because he likes what he does for a living but was very professional. We didn't even know where he was half of the time but he somehow managed to give us over 700 photos. The wedding book he made for my daughter and her husband is beautiful. He only books one event a day, so he is all yours and is willing to stay later. His turn around time is excellent and he kept his word----the proofs were ready when he said they would be. I am so glad my daughter stopped at his booth. This may sound silly, but: You.......Just.......Know. The wedding was May 30, 2015 in Fort Collins. read more

Garrett was the first person my fiancé and I booked for the wedding. Having a background in photography, finding the right photographer was a top priority for me, and I knew that Photography G was the right fit. He is a talented photographer, confident and generally great to be around - what more can you ask for in a wedding photographer?! Having him on board, we were assured to have awesome pictures from our big day. As we look at our albums today, we are grateful for his graceful presence and fly-on-the-wall blending in. He was there from the beginning of the day capturing quiet and precious moments of preparation. We were grateful for the lighthearted and fun atmosphere of the bride and groom shoot after the ceremony. At the event, we scarcely noticed as he collected angles we never saw. He captured our arrivals, ceremony, friends... well, all the things you think of and all the other things a professional thinks of for you. Garrett always thinks ahead while clearly reflecting on a decade of experience. Garrett's talents are now our keepsakes. We're glad we booked him first! read more

My husband and I met Garrett about six years ago while shopping around for a wedding photographer. We had already met with two or three others, and were starting to give up hope. I had studied journalism years ago and was really hoping to find a fellow journalist (well, more like a photojournalist) to shoot our wedding. After hanging out with him and talking shop, we knew he was "the one." We love showing off our wedding photos! He is a truly gifted artist, using natural light to his advantage, and capturing moments that share a story instead of just telling subjects how to pose. (Plus he's a pretty cool guy!) In the almost six years since our wedding, we've used Garrett for our daughter's three annual portraits (which are absolutely precious), our extended family portraits with my parents and sister's family, and my niece's senior portraits. He is our official family photographer, and will be for many years to come. My entire family highly recommends Garrett Hacking of Photograhy G for all of your photo needs. HE ROCKS! read more

I had engaged Photography G to do our family photos and was very pleased with the whole experience and especially the results! I provided our 'vision' and Garrett worked to find a great location and was very flexible to accommodate our schedule. With older parents and young children, it was not without challenge but Garrett was a true professional, patient and not only were we made comfortable, we had a lot of fun! His artistic eye captured moments between our formal posing that ended up being some of our very favorites! There were so many to choose from! The beautifully edited photos were made available for us within a few days! We greatly appreciated this as we were quite anxious / excited to see them after our really fun photo shoot! Not only do we all have beautiful, professional photos to have and hold, we have a cherished family memory of the day. I recommend Photography G for any / all events you want captured - His passion is expressed through his work and it shows. Thanks Garrett! read more

Professional, honest, talented, witty, dedicated, patient, accommodating, real, unobtrusive, a great communicator and the ultimate team player! That is how I would describe Garrett Hacking with Photography G! We didn't know exactly what we were looking for in a photographer, but talking to Garrett on the phone, I knew his style, approach and personality would be a perfect fit for us, and I was right! Garrett captured the natural moments of the day, which is exactly what I wanted! For example, when a clap of thunder struck just (our wedding was outside-in the mountains,) as the minister was pronouncing us "man and wife," Garrett got the shot of my husband looking and smiling up at the sky, with a big "really?" on his face! Garrett's attitude, philosophy and spirit and positive and energizing to be around as well! Photography G was recommended to me by one of my other vendors, and I would do the same for anyone looking for an outstanding photographer! read more

I have worked with Garrett & Kellie at Photography G for two years now and I can't say enough great things about them and their work. I originally hired them for my company's annual user conference in 2022, which took place in Denver. Both Garrett and Kellie were so professional and took any and all changes to the event in stride. They photographed not only our entire user conference over the span of 5 days, but also many high-profile events with our executives and top clients. Our executive team commented on how professional and discreet they both were - able to blend right in to the background of the event while still capturing the best moments. Given their ability to work so closely with our executive team, we hired them again in 2023 for our event in New Orleans and will continue to partner with Photography G for our future conferences. We are lucky to have found such a great partnership in Garrett, Kellie and their whole team! read more

As a wedding coordinator I have worked with many photographers and Garett has definitely stood out in my book! I originally met him at a tasting at Red Rocks. He was so nice, upbeat and I was hoping we would end up working together. A couple of mine hired him for their big day and I can't say enough about his photos, they're unbelievable! Half the time I didn't even notice him (as it should be) but when the pictures came back he had captured everything! He recently welcomed me to come over to visit and see some of his work and again, I was mind blown. I walked by one specific picture and was taken back, I mentioned what an amazing shot it was and he said, "This is the shot when I realized this is what I should do for a living!" I would highly recommend Garett for any event, especially to capture what should be one of the best days of your lives! read more

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) had the pleasure of working with Photography G during our 2022 annual professional conference in Denver this March. It was our first time working with Garrett and Kellie and we absolutely loved our collaboration. From photos of our invited speakers, networking events, research poster sessions and our "headshot booth," Garrett and Kellie were fantastic. Professional, flexible regarding our schedule and needs, wonderful with all of our attendees, Garrett and Kellie hit it out of the ballpark. The final product was wonderful - great photos that we will be able to use in future marketing and outreach. We have already secured them to be our 2023 DC photographers! Many thanks to Photography G for a seamless and terrific experience... Lise Bram ADAA Deputy Executive Director read more
