Gelfman Photography

Gelfman Photography is a boutique photography studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley, a very in-love couple themselves (Newlyweds as of December 2023!), who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and wedding/event work.

Photography (especially wedding photography) is at its heart a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re basically letting strangers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life, and not only are they experiencing it with you, they’re recording it! We sincerely feel that your photographers shouldn’t be a nameless, faceless technician that was simply “assigned” to you. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well aware of the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

Photographers need to do more than just take the photos—they need to help cultivate an atmosphere that strengthens the celebratory nature of a wedding. It’s our mission to do everything we can to make the photographic aspects of your day stress-free, enjoyable, and unobtrusive. When it comes down to it, we feel it’s most important for you to have have an amazing time at YOUR wedding! Photography should never be something to hinder that.

In using Gelfman Photography, you're guaranteed all the expertise and high-quality results of a large studio conglomerate, but with more exclusive attention to your personal vision and overall experience in every stage of the process.

As a photographer, it's hard not to love weddings. They encompass everything a photographer would want in a shoot—beautiful atmospheres, smiling faces, and endless opportunities to produce artistic and eye-catching work. After working with larger studios, we found the only thing lacking was the personal relationship between photographer and client, something that was sorely missed on such an emotional event. So, to remedy that, we went solo! Now we get the best of both worlds, and every wedding we shoot ends up being a chance to laugh with and share in the joy of the happy couple we've already developed a connection with, while knowing the shots we're getting are exactly what they're looking forward to!

Matt (Gelfman) started the business in 2018, and as fate would have it he started dating Lesley not long after. It was quickly apparent that they not only made a great team as a couple, but as partners, as well. From there Gelfman Photography has evolved quite quickly, as Lesley brought a keen eye as not only a talented photographer but a stylist and social media specialist, too! We're always looking to grow as a company, but we will never lose the personal focus and high quality we're able to maintain as a more boutique operation.
