When you hire us to photograph your wedding, you will always get professional service and high-quality photography products.
Gilmore Studios has photographed over 500 weddings in southern California and has traveled to places like Hawaii, New York, Washington DC, Kansas, Illinois and Arizona for our wedding clients. We love to travel! If you want to bring Gilmore Studios with you, please send us your travel plans.
Our studio is only a few minutes away from the Newport Beach LDS Temple and the Gilbert, AZ Temple. We offer complete wedding coverage or “temple only” coverage. Be sure to mention how many hours of photography coverage you will need when you send your inquiry. We have photographed LDS weddings at the many different temples.
We love Indian weddings! There is something to be said about the amazing details, colors and we love to capture all the historic traditions. We have had the pleasure of photographing traditional Indian weddings in Long Beach, Newport Beach, and San Diego.

In addition to the digital collections & wedding A La Carte, you may add professional prints to your order.
Most couples reserve their wedding photographers one year in advance. However, some have less time to plan, so feel free to contact us to see if we are available on your date.
To officially book us, you'll sign our online contract and pay a non-refundable retainer fee. The contact and retainer fee are required to reserve your wedding date.
Yes! We require a $1000 retainer (cash or check) and a signed contract to save your date. You can make monthly payments but the balance is due 30 days before your wedding day.
Other than the retainer - the rest can go on your card if you need to. Get those miles!

Our package includes consecutive hours of coverage. Additional hours can be added to your package for $600 per hour.
2 out of our 3 wedding packages include digital images from the wedding day.
We can make slideshow videos for our couples that include short video clips throughout. We call these photo/video hybrids. We are not videographers, but we use our cameras to record short video clips to help tell the story of the wedding. We do not film continuously- if you want a wedding video with audio of the ceremony and toasts, we recommend hiring a videographer. We have a few we work with closely and would be happy to refer you.
Of course not, we will never tell your family to put the cameras away. However, we DO recommend having a photo-free ceremony to keep your important ceremony images free of phones and iPads covering the heads and faces of the perfect moment.
We don’t personally have a photobooth but we work with a lot of great companies and are happy to refer you.

💭 If your senior could give their younger self one piece of advice, what do you think it would be? 🩵

🌈✨ One year. 12 months. 365 days of watching your little sunshine grow into their own tiny person. 💕

The thing about first birthdays? It’s not just a milestone for your baby—it’s a celebration of you, too. All the late nights, big hugs, and endless love you’ve poured into them… and look how far you’ve come together. 💛

Hi there! Yes, you! This is your sign to not wait until the last minute.
Summer’s coming. Schedules fill up fast. Time flies.
And the moments you meant to capture?
Yeah… those tend to disappear the quickest.
Someday, these photos won’t feel like “right now.”
They’ll feel like:
Remember when…
Remember when they were this little.
Remember when you lived here.
Remember when life felt like this.
That’s the magic of photos.
Let’s get your session on the books before life gets in the way.
DM me to chat dates!
🎂✨ They say “the days are long, but the years are short,” and WOW, does that hit harder when your little one turns ONE. 😭💕
It feels like just yesterday you were cradling them in your arms, and now they’re smashing cake like a pro. 🍰💥 This stage? It’s fleeting. The chubby cheeks, the tiny giggles, the curiosity in their eyes—it’s all changing faster than we’d like to admit.
Let’s celebrate this milestone in a way that you can look back on for years to come. Because trust me, you’re going to miss these moments one day.
💭 What’s been your favorite milestone to capture so far? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear your story! ⬇️✨
