Gary Kaplan

Gary began his career working as a photojournalist in New York over 25 years ago. He is a second-generation wedding and fashion photographer. His fine-art wedding collections and fashion images have won many international awards. They evoke emotion and celebrate life. Photojournalistic, artistic, unobtrusive, elegant, funky, timeless, and edgy are some of the words that describe his style.

Each image is a precious story of life, love, and emotion captured for all eternity. Funky angles, traditional images, artistic fashion combined with a unique photojournalistic style, is why this studio is among one of the most sought after in the world.

From Rangefinder Magazine: "Gary has shot as a staff photographer for national magazines and has been published in more than a thousand periodicals world-wide. He’s worked with celebrities, traveled globally, but it’s wedding photography that stirs this artist’s soul. And it shows. After all, there’s an endless list of photographers who can take 1500 well-composed wedding shots. Gary’s gift lifts it a thousand steps further. Each one of his chosen shots is like the climactic moment in a romantic movie. It’s the shot of Ingrid Bergman as she decides to get on that plane – not right before; not just after. It’s Debra Winger’s triumphant smile as Richard Gere carries her out of that box factory. Every one of Gary’s images sings with the epic emotion of the day."

When I shoot, I wait and listen for the right moment. Sometimes at that moment I close my eyes and shoot. One client asked, "How can you see when your eyes are closed?" and my answer was that I shoot from my heart."
