I absolutely loved our photographer team! They were able to meet this candid vision we wanted AND get the traditional wedding photos! Ben was our lead photographer and I got to work with him for most of the day. He was there for the stress, the running around and the magic of the wedding itself. All my photos came out amazing to the point where I got Ai accusations from how good they were! I couldn’t be more happy with the final outcome!

My wife and I cannot rave enough about George Street Photo & Video! From the beginning until the end (and even after the wedding!), they've gone above and beyond for us! We ended up getting our Portrait Session & Wedding Day Photo and Video through them! The Wedding Coordinators did a great job sending us emails to give us reminders on our timeline (day-of schedule, getting in the books for portrait session, etc.) and getting back to us quickly if we had any questions. We are from Austin, TX but we got married up in Valley View (DFW area, almost near the TX/OK border) and George Street was super willing to make it work! We were able to get our portraits in Austin and get scheduled with a different group in the Dallas area (instead of being limited to only one city)! The photos themselves? Absolutely gorgeous! We loved each of the photographers we worked with! We even got some compliments from our guests and our wedding party about "how nice/fun the photographers are." They were super bubbly, friendly, kind, professional, and SO creative! And we loved each of their editing styles, it was exactly what we wanted! We have so many beautiful pictures that we were excited to show off & commemorate our special day :) We had friends ask us who we got our photos with, because we've received multiple compliments on how good they are! Same with our videographer! Super easy to work with -- and we know that we can't do any re-dos when it comes to wedding videos -- so we consider ourselves blessed that Chris had all of his bases covered to make sure we had all the video and audio :) And the wedding video edit was beautiful, it brought tears to our eyes :') One unique touch: my side of the family had a lot of Deaf friends and family members, and Chris and Sarath (and the other Chris!) did a great job being friendly and accommodating them. They weren't afraid to gesture and use 1-2-3 with their hands - that really meant a lot! If you want great photos and video, great service, great support, all at a great price -- GET GEORGE STREET PHOTO & VIDEO! Thank you Amy, Chris, Sarath, and Chris for making our wedding day the most magical day ever!

My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. My husband and I absolutely adore Clayton as a professional, and also as the awesome human being that he is, and hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 10/10 experience all around.

*****The best way to reach me is to fill out the inquiry form on my website!***** As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and authentic emotion. Being a former actor who found a deep love and passion for wedding photography, I'm most drawn to the art of storytelling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in every way possible. I'm goofy, fun, and always create a deep connection with my couples to ensure their big day is captured with passion + care.

The best decision we made for our wedding was having Madi as our photographer! From our very first meeting with her to go over what we envisioned, we felt so at ease because Madi was decisive, confident, experienced, and so enthusiastic. She remained this way for our engagement photoshoot, Zoom meetings, random text conversations about the stresses of wedding planning, and everything in between. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be, and that was in part because of Madi and her second shooter, Aaron. They helped to keep the mood high even when there were pauses during the day. They were able to corral our giant wedding party of 20 for candid and heartfelt group shots. They helped us stick to our timeline without any hiccups to the point where the whole day felt like a whirlwind in the best way. They listened to what was important for us to capture, and now we have photos of family and loved ones that we will cherish forever. When we got our entire gallery back (earlier than originally promised, which is amazing especially before the holidays), we teared up reliving the day again through Madi's lens. She has a unique touch and skill for finding the most special moments, and she just loves love, which is so evident through all of her work. We cannot recommend Madi enough, and we would choose her over and over again if we could!

My name is Kate Scott Daly, and I can't wait to meet you! I'm a Chicago native and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. I am obsessed with capturing the perfect moment that will make you gasp and say "Oh my god, this is amazing!" Being a queer woman, it is so important to me that you feel safe, loved, and beautiful every step of the way. If you're looking for someone you can relax with and just be yourself, you've found me! Let's face it: it can be awkward being in front of a camera. Even I feel nervous sometimes! I understand that anxiety and will do everything I can to make you feel fabulous!

We cannot recommend Kate enough! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely comfortable and celebrated our love with so much enthusiasm. As a queer couple, it was important for us to work with someone who not only respected but truly celebrated queer weddings, and Kate went above and beyond. She took the time to help us clarify our vision for our wedding photos, which was especially helpful since we only had 6 weeks to plan our wedding and felt a little overwhelmed by the process. She was a great guide and we immediately knew we were in good hands! Kate’s associate Ryan shot the photos on our wedding day and they captured every special moment—from the big emotional vows to the smallest, most intimate glances—with such artistry and care. The photos are breathtaking, full of life, and truly reflect the joy of our day. Right when Ryan arrived, they jumped in with capturing photos of small details and worked to capture everything we wanted for our special day. Kate and Ryan were both an absolute delight to work with—professional, fun, and incredibly talented. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel seen, respected, and celebrated while delivering stunning photos, look no further. We are beyond grateful for Kate and Ryan and will cherish these photos forever! Thank you for making our wedding memories so magical!
