“We knew we wanted to spend proportionally more on our photographer than other elements of the wedding because so many of our friends were really disappointed in the photos of their big day.

In retrospect, that was one of our best decisions in the whole wedding planning process. Every time we look at our photos we are transported back to that amazing day, and we always end up commenting on how amazing our photos are. That’s all thanks to the talent of Genevieve and her husband Chad. We did engagement photos, a family shoot with our extended family the week of the wedding, and our wedding photos with them. Here are the pros and cons of working with them. 1) They are incredibly talented. Our wedding photos exceeded our very high expectations- totally blew us away. We’ve looked through all of the several hundreds of photos they gave us, and we truly could not be more pleased with their work. We had a perfect sunset on our wedding day, and they absolutely nailed the sunset shots! With that perfect sky we would have been so bummed if we had scrimped on the photog. That day was so priceless, and I’m so glad we had top talent preserving those memories for us. 2) They are very fun and easy to work with. You can tell that they are not only exceptionally talented photographers but they also really seem to love the craft. When we showed them some engagement photos we wanted to imitate, they jumped right on board and identified two great locations that they’d never shot at before. They experimented with new ideas, and we were extremely happy with the result. Before the wedding I couldn’t decide whether or not we should hire a videographer, and I really worried I would regret it if we didn’t. In the end we didn’t get a videographer, and I don’t regret it at all because our photos are so amazing. Tip: One thing we did that ensured we were thrilled with our photos was pin wedding photos we love on Pinterest and share the board with Chad and Genevieve. We were so in the moment on our wedding day that we weren’t thinking about making sure we got those photos, but Chad and Genevieve did and those are some of our fave shots. Also, don’t assume your photographer will take certain pictures. If you want a photo with each table- say so. If you want a photo with both of your grandmothers, tell them in advance because you won’t remember the day of. Chad and Genevieve did a great job of guiding us through all the shots we told them in advance that we wanted. Cons? Did I say there would be cons? Frankly there just weren’t any. From beginning to end, working with Chad and Genevieve was a pleasure. Two of our biggest pieces of wedding planning advice are to invest in an amazing photographer, namely Genevieve and Chad, and hire a great wedding planner like Kerri Catino-Nason."

“Genevieve and Chad are incredibly talented and incredibly fun.

We always love working with this dynamic duo. Genevieve has a special ability to capture the unscripted, unposed moments in every special event. You will enjoy spending time with this team and you won't even realize that they're taking your picture. And wait to you see the final product! Definitely one of the best around."

“Genevieve and Chad are amazing!

Photos are the most important thing to my husband and I and GSP did not disappoint. In fact they took our breath away! They documented things that we did not even notice because we were so caught up in the day. When a summer storm popped up on the horizon they took the opportunity to do separate bridal party photos before the ceremony and the sky was absolutely gorgeous! Our ceremony was delayed an hour because of the storm and they stayed past their contracted time to make sure they got plenty of pictures of everyone on the dance floor. Gen and Chad make you comfortable in front of the camera and make sure to grab every moment of the greatest day of your life. Our photos will be cherished for the rest of our lives."

“Choosing Genevieve and Chad being the photographers for our wedding was high priority for me. We wanted Genevieve and Chad to photograph our wedding so much we had to make sure they were available before choosing our wedding date. We had always admired their work and knew they would never fall short of amazing. They were so easy to work with and they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Feeling comfortable in front of the camera=amazing photos. The engagement photos were amazing and the wedding photos were amazing. People tell us constantly how beautiful the photos of our wedding were, but we have to give it to Genevieve and Chad’s incredible work. We are so happy to have these amazing photos to look at the rest of our lives!!”

“You cannot find a better photography duo than Genevieve and Chad. These two are as good as they get for a price that is more than satisfying to pay. If you’re considering photographers for a major event in your life, stop wasting time and hire Genevieve. You won’t regret it. That much I can promise you. From the first time you meet to the moment they walk out the door on your event, you will know that you made the right choice. There is a reason they are one of the most highly recommended photographers in the Outer Banks and to be honest, book them quick. Aside from being incredible artists, they are just flat out incredible people who become a part of your life forever. We met them as strangers and left considering them friends. I can’t thank them enough for their work and would recommend them over every option, without question or hesitation. This is the photographer for you and you can thank me later.”

“I can not express enough what a fantastic choice I made by picking Gen and Chad. The photography was the one area of my wedding I refused to skimp on, and anyone that has met Gen and Chad or seen their work knows this is the one vendor in OBX you must pick. Having a great photographer is more than just having a keepsake of beautiful and memorable shots, it is feeling comfortable and having the connection with them in order to captivate you and your wedding at its very best. They take the time to learn you as a couple and get what shots work for you. I did a lot of research before picking a photography team, and even met with 2 others in OBX. Within 5 minutes of seeing their work and meeting them I cancelled my other appointments. Brides and Grooms, it is past the point of “recommending” this husband and wife team, I am TELLING you, do not hesitate in booking them. It was the best choice I made this year.”

“Gen and Chad are AMAZING!!!!! They did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos and both turned out fabulous. Your wedding day passes by so quickly and going through the thousands of photos they took truly brought me back to my wedding day! Even better is that looking at their photos allowed me to finally see all the tiny details that I never got to look at the day of the wedding. They truly captured the entire day perfectly and their photos tell the story of my wedding day perfectly. Their photos truly make my wedding look like it should have been in a magazine. My husband really didn’t like the idea of being photographed and they both made him so comfortable to the point he even admitted that he forgot they were there. My only complaint is that I now have to pick a selection of their thousand photos for my wedding album and decide which photos to frame and I don’t know how to narrow it down because all their photos are so beautiful. Thank you so much Chad and Gen for perfectly capturing our wedding day!”

“Genevieve is a brilliant photographer who knows how to capture the Outer Banks Wedding nuances that many look past. She and her husband are an amazing team. I love when there is two cameras going to grab the moments that one could never do alone. Some of the nicest vendors I know on the Outer Banks. You’ll be thrilled!”
