Love Long and Prosper Photography - Bristol, Connecticut

My husband and I used Live Long and Prosper Photography for our wedding in June of 2023. We first reached out to Gary with inquiries about his style and pricing. He came back to us more detailed and knowledgeable than I could have ever imagined! Gary was meticulous with everything on the back end! His associate that photographed our wedding was absolutely stellar! She was detail oriented, passionate about her art and her ability to capture our wedding in the exact way we had dreamed of. We had lost my favorite uncle the morning after our wedding and Gary (and team) were able to procure a few beautiful photos of him that day for us. We would recommend Gary to anyone. He was respectful to our budget and was realistic with what would be the best package/fit for us!!

We used Love Long and Prosper for our engagement photo shoot and for our wedding photographer. To say our experience with Gary and his associate Bridget was everything we could have ever hoped for is an understatement. The photos we have received are beyond breathtaking and they bring tears to our eyes because who we are as individuals are perfectly captured in each photo. Even the energy from the wedding is perfectly depicted from still images. When you pick a photographer for any occasion obviously you want stunning photos, which is what Love Long and Prosper will provide. However, you also want people that make you feel comfortable, beautiful and confident. You want people that bring energy to your photoshoot that will comfort you right when you walk down the aisle and will celebrate with you right after you say "I do." Love Long and Prosper is more than just breathtaking photos. They truly care about their customers and after using them I can't imagine using any other photography company in the future. They are worth every penny so stop thinking about it and book with them!

Gary is an absolutely amazing photographer. He is the best of the best. His service from beginning to end was attentive, thorough, and so relieving. Wedding planning can be so stressful. Gary made it extremely simple and easy. He is communicative, fun to be around, and FAST. Our wedding was last night and we got our preview photos less than 24 hours later. They’re all amazing, by the way. From one artist to another, Gary you have a true talent and eye for this and we were honored to be photographed by you on such a special day. This is a day we will never forget, and you are a huge part of that reason. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing and filming the day I will hold near and dear to my heart until my last breath. Nick and I are over the moon, riding cloud 9, and CANNOT WAIT to see the final photos soon.

If you needed a reason to bite the bullet and choose a photographer, let this be your reason. There is no price on happiness. Choose Gary and you will not regret it!!!!!

We were lucky enough to meet Gary from Love Long and Prosper Photography at a Bridal Expo in 2023. He was easily the MOST knowledgeable and personable photographer we met that day. So it was a no brainer to book with him.

We used Gary's services for our engagement shoot and our wedding day. Gary has AWESOME photoshoot ideas and locations on where to shot the photos. He makes photoshoots super fun and captures beautiful and unique shots.

On the day of the wedding Gary has 1 rule. "Do not look at the camera unless he says so." Honestly the is the most brilliant rule ever because those photos are the most candid!

By the end of the Gary had a handful of edited photos from earlier in the wedding day. They were displayed in our bar area of the wedding. Guests and the staff were amazed with his work. Not to mention the staff at the venue are HUGE fans of Gary's work and was so excited that he was there.

When it comes to booking venders for your wedding it is IMPORTANT to not skimp on who you trust with capturing the beautiful moments of your wedding. With Gary....just like Allstate...you are in good hands.

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.

I love Gary's work. I haven't seen a photographer like him anywhere. It's bold and colorful. Gary's creativity makes getting the initial portraits so much fun. The way he jokes with you to get you out of your shell. But still professional the whole time. And when you do finally see your pictures, just wow. He makes it a whole experience from beginning to end.

Gary was spectacular to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Our engagement and wedding pictures came out beautifully. He was so patient with us and very flexible. Not to mention, we had so much fun during the engagement shoot. Gary’s creative and sentimental activities made the shoot such a memorable experience (I’m being completely serious—we had a blast!) I am thankful that we chose him to capture the moments on one of the most important days of our lives.

Gary is an amazingly talented photographer. He has been the photographer of a few events I have gone and all my favorite pictures from the last few years have been ones taken by Gary. I love his work so much we have hired him to do our wedding. Trust me when I say you should hire Gary.
