My wife and I found Corey Gardiner photography through Google a year before our wedding, we knew that everything was important for our special day but photographs was at the top of our list, and since the very first consultation with Corey we knew he was the perfect person for the job. He pretty much helped us plan our wedding, he gave us tips, suggestions that we did not even think about. His smooth and relaxed personality as well as how he explains things makes it even easier to be working with him. His job and final product is impecable and excedes anyone's expectations. We met him and we gained

Corey was not only our photographer but wedding planner too, and I say that because he gave us advice on many other areas besides photos. He was always available for a meeting. He captured emotional, romantic and funny moments at our wedding. Did research in London and St. Thomas; Corey had the best and most affordable packages to offer. I Highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Corey, for all that you did before, during and after the wedding.
