George Street Photo & Video

My husband and I recently got married over Labor Day weekend. We used George Street, a lot because the price was right, but also because their customer service was awesome, and their photos were beautiful. We sat down with a rep, who was fantastic, and set us up that night with a photographer. I absolutely loved our photographer, and we literally (two weeks after the wedding) already have the photos back. They are INCREDIBLE!
I can understand a sort of hesitation to use them– mostly because their methods are a bit. unconventional. The idea is that you choose your photographer based on their art, which I can appreciate. But you never really have contact with your photographer, so you don’t know if you «click» with their personality, etc. If you are going to use George Street, you have to just be okay letting go of that aspect of control. They make sure you create a profile for the photographer to follow– you fill out short worksheets regarding the day of– but you don’t meet your photographer until day of, and you don’t even speak to them or know their full names/​phone numbers until the week of the wedding.
It really worked for us, but it’s probably not for everyone. However– the price is right– so so low due to processing costs diminished through such a big company– and the turn around is speedy (less than two weeks versus 3 – 4 months). Also, I felt that there was a higher level of accountability with a larger organization than with a one person show– and their customer service certainly does not disappoint. They checked in with me regularly and made me feel totally confident that we had made the right choice.
I would highly recommend using George Street– especially if you’re looking to fit within a smaller budget (who isn’t?). They are amazing and did a great job! We LOVE our photos! A great business model.
