G3 to the rescue!

After our original photographer didn't work out literally 5 days before the wedding due to "family emergency" you can only imagine how stressed we were. We got married on a long weekend and trying to find a good wedding photographer at such short notice was nearly impossible, we called G3 from the vendor referral list we got from Marriott fallsview, from the first call we had with Mike and his team till we got our pictures and video has was a breeze. On the day of the wedding, my mom got Bells Palsy as we were getting ready, guess which team turned from photographers/videographers to wedding coordinators/messengers/therapist/comedians! They even prayed with us and reassured us everything was going to be ok, and it did turn out perfect. I can not tell of our wedding story without including these guys! They are now our forever friends now!

After spending 100k on a wedding don't cut costs on your photographer besides the picture/video's you are also paying for professionalism, punctuality and coordination. Its your big day, you want every detail captured, from getting ready, earrings to isle décor to the teaspoon at reception! Im still amazed when i look at our wedding pictures and see the detailed pictures they took. Did i mention these guys stayed way past 11pm? they didn't just pack up and leave at the time we had agreed to have them until. If u ever get to watch our wedding video posted on YouTube (the lion and the lady) they caught all the emotions of the day we couldn't be happier!
I could go on and on and on about how amazing the Team is! Take this away from my review you 100% get what u pay for + more with these guys....

G3 is an awesome team! Would definitely recommend!!

We had an awesome experience with the G3 team (Mike, Erin, Jay and Kyle) for our October 17th wedding!! My husband and I are both awkward in from of the camera and they made us feel comfortable throughout the day and guided us where we needed it :) From making sure we had the perfect setup for our champagne nighttime shots to laying on the ground in a gravel parking lot to get a unique perspective for our rolls royce pictures they did not hold back!! A lot of our friends commented on the hard work these guys put towards our day and how impressed they were with their professionalism and dedication. Thanks G3 for your amazing photography!! Would definitely recommend 😁

The Most Beautiful & Unique Wedding Photos

We’re so happy we chose G3 Designs Photo & Video to be part of our big day in June!

Mike and Justin are incredible with their camera work and professionalism. They were great with trying to keep us on track with our day in order to get photos we felt were important (i.e. getting ready, family portraits, wedding party, etc). You can easily lose track of time as you’re busy soaking in your special day and guests pulling you aside to catch up but Mike and Justin were there to keep us in check.

We received over 1000+ photos from the wedding which was more than we expected in return. They’ve captured our special day perfectly from start to finish.

We highly recommend everyone to check out their work and consider them to be part of your special occasion.

:)

Modern Fairy Tale

For anyone looking to hire a photographer and videographer for an elopement wedding in Niagara Region look no further. Our wedding was done last minute during pandemic. We were very nervous about who we hired as time was of essence and being a perfectionist did not make it any easier in my search for the right team to make our special day memorable. After contacting 10 studios (thanks to wedding-wire and their reviews), we decided to hire Mike and his team (Jay and Erin). From our initial interaction, i knew they were the one. Mike responded to my inquiries immediately. I was very specific of our expectations and they to say the least outperformed our vision. They made our special day simply flawless. Erin was there to help with all the accessories i brought for the shoot and to create a fun and romantic atmosphere. She also suggested locations for our shoots and adjusted my dress to ensure everything was picture perfect. Jay was absolutely out of this world. His videography, talent, ideas and overall performance sure left a mark on us. He is to say the least an artist and i see much success in the near future for him. Mikes photography was seamless. Both, our video and photos were completed in half the time they promised; just in 4 weeks our memories were right before our eyes. My family and friends were absolutely stunned by their work. I highly recommend G3 Designs Photography and look forward to working with them again.

You’ll never find me using another photographer

I booked G3 in 2016 after meeting Mike at a wedding show. He would go on to shoot our engagement photos & our wedding. I’ve since recommended him to anyone and everyone and I’ve used him to shoot our family photos. Him and his team are nothing but professional but they also bring a sense of calm, comfort and relaxation. They make sure to go above and beyond to get the “perfect shot” and will help feed the energy needed to bring a wedding to life & make it that fun, crazy experience we all want and hope for. Any future event in life that I need photographed, you can bet it will be Mike who’s the one behind the camera.

I can't recommend them enough

Mike and his team have been absolutely amazing to work with! We had our engagement photos and wedding done by them and they did not disappoint! Our engagement photos turned out perfect and from the sneak peek I got to see I'm sure our wedding photos and video will too. They were so flexible with having to change our wedding date at the last minute and are so much fun you forget there's a bunch of cameras on you! They are so easy to work with and are the life of the party to get the best shots.
