About this vendor
You know how geeky and introvert couples feel so awkward in front of a camera? Well I'm here to solve that problem by not only being able to talk about some of your favorite hobbies, but I guide couples in posing with fun games and acting prompts rather than strict poses.
I Get You.
You want a photographer that gets all of you.
Your geeky side, your lover’s endearing quirks, your off-brand (some say awkward) humor.
You want moments that capture you. You gravitate towards the real and unfiltered moments not the cliché.
My style of photography creates those keepsakes. I capture all your everlasting moments and the magical memories you will forever cherish.
I am the wedding photographer for the geeky, the whimsical, the unconventional, those who wish to capture their magic.
Our Mission
At Love Long and Prosper Photography I know that you want to walk away with memories that you will never forget . In order to do that, you need someone who can not only capture these memories but assist you in showing the real you in these memories.
The problem is that many folks find themselves too awkward in front of a camera which makes you feel like you cannot capture truly beautiful photos as yourself. That is a load of bull, my goal is to make every couple shine and to show themselves as extraordinary as they feel inside.
I understand that I may have to knock down some of your walls to make you feel comfortable which is why I incorporate funny games or genuinely touching moments in all of my poses and interactions

Gary has been so lovely to work with. He makes both myself and my (current) husband very comfortable in front of the camera, especially because we are very camera shy during our engagement photo shoot. Gary has been very patient with us on the day of the wedding, especially because half of our families do not speak English. We really appreciate him asking clarifying questions in details we did not think of, and being so go with the flow with idea last minute, like contacting an escape room the day before because of crappy weather for our photos in between the ceremony and the reception. I appreciate all of Gary's work and creative eye and will always love the photos he captured of our big day.
EDIT: 2/14/25- As noted above, Gary was wonderful with our photos however our experience with the wedding video was an opposite experience. We had to wait for greater than 6 months with multiple reminder emails and phone calls to see if our wedding video was even being worked on. Once Gary got in contact with us about creating a draft, we were disappointed with the quality of the video. Example included other photographers blocking me and my husband saying our vows to each other. After expressing disappointment in the video quality, Gary offered a refund for the video portion in an email on 10/3/24. We are still waiting for the refund despite reaching out via email and phone calls with voice mails left.
Both my husband and I wanted a photographer that would make us feel comfortable. Love, Long and Prosper was the perfect choice. Not only are the photos unbelievable stunning, but the staff alone was amazing. The day was so special and so beautiful thanks to this company. Whether you’re a nerd or not I can HIGHLY recommend booking with them!!
I wanted to love working with Gary, but that just wasn’t the case. He is super energetic and fun in your initial meetings, but that changed significantly for us over time. He was delayed in sending a shot list for our families because he was apparently traveling at the time then had the audacity to huff when we requested an aunt and uncle picture. He took nearly 4 months to get us the pictures without any sneak peaks, so delayed out thank you cards significantly. He didn’t respond to emails and ultimately I needed my graphic designer to put out a post to get a response and then he blamed his online booking systems and assistants. He gave us a credit as an apology which ended up being more pages in our wedding album —honestly I can’t imagine a few extra spreads making up for his unprofessionalism, but we just wanted to be done.
We met almost 4 months ago and still don’t have our wedding album. Save yourself the aggravation and bitterness that you will have when you look at your wedding pictures.
Gary and his team were FABULOUS the day of our wedding (and for our engagement shoot beforehand)! The team was incredibly responsive to our needs, ensured we had a blast taking pictures, and was extremely easy to talk to about our vision for the day. Gary's process for bringing in new people, sharing his work and asking for our input with lots of positivity, made for a memorable and enjoyable experience. Gary and team know their stuff, and we highly recommend them!
We love love loved Gary as our photographer for our wedding!! I’m so impressed by so many of the shots he captured of our day...he is so easy to work with, very laid back and so professional at the same time. He did such an amazing job of capturing the entire vibe of our wedding day from start to finish...we got soooo many compliments on our photos I’m just over the moon happy with everything!!
Gary was my photographer for our wedding last Saturday August 24th. Gary and Amy did an amazing job capturing every special moment. We have only received our highlights and preview reel but are so happy with how the few we saw came out so far. Gary was a pleasure to work with beginning to end. Highly recommend GDA Weddings!
