Client Testimonials
Jordie - May 2025
"Gary and the entire One Story Weddings team were absolutely incredible. They were professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. They really took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life even better than we imagined. On the big day, they helped everyone feel relaxed in front of the camera and kept things calm and fun."
Rachel - September 2022
"Gary was an absolute dream to work with from our first consult to getting our final photos. At first, I was weary about booking One Story because of their higher price, but my husband and I are SO glad we did! The photos were absolutely beautiful, the entire team was professional and fun, and made us feel so comfortable. Gary was also so helpful with our timeline, and had tons of useful tips."
Stacy - Monarch Beach Resort
"One Story Wedding was the perfect choice for videography for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, they were so easy to work with. On the wedding day, they were professional, present, and made my husband and I feel very relaxed to be in front of a camera. Our final product was absolutely stunning."
Mary - September 2020
"Gary was the calmness I needed during the chaos. During the postponing, rescheduling, and re-planning process, Gary remained patient, professional, and talked me off a ledge multiple times. On the day of the wedding, Gary was perfect. He made me feel at ease in the photos we took, and he made me feel beautiful."
