Agents had told me that my old headshots didn't look like me but I'm already booking gigs with these new ones. She's so great at getting her clients out of their heads. You'll feel like you're just hanging with a friend and then your photos look sooooo natural! She's super collaborative if you've got a really specific idea or request. I can't recommend her enough!!

Gathering Light Photography traveled to Aruba to shoot our destination wedding and we could not be…read morehappier that they made the trip! Our resort wedding package included a photographer but we were both concerned that we would end up with the same canned beach weddings photos that the resort photographer takes daily and frankly, was not our style. Neither of us are naturally photogenic and knew it would take someone special to help us relax and shake our natural deer in headlights reactions to a camera. When Meghan learned that we were having a private civil ceremony in advance of our beach wedding she graciously offered to join us so we would have memories of that as well. We'd never thought about photography for the civil ceremony and now we can't imagine not having those memories captured. On the ceremony day, they were a warm and calming presence from the time they joined us while getting ready, our first looks, throughout the ceremony and deep into the reception turned dance party. The team worked well with other vendors, coordinating with the resort wedding planner as well as helping to tame an aggressive videographer. While our Aruban venue was beautiful, it also required working around sand, sun, wind (lots and lots of wind), a rapidly setting sun and bathing suit clad onlookers and our photos did not reflect any of the challenges. We were thrilled to get a sneak peek of our photos while still on our honeymoon and had all the photos within just a few weeks. They are incredible! We have so many amazing pictures that we are in danger of becoming those people who uncomfortably plaster the walls of their home with photos of themselves. We could not recommend Meghan and Gathering Light Photography more.

Our company had a party and since photobooth was such a hit the first time, our HR person got a…read moreLiving Social deal to do photobooth again during our next party. I can't speak to how the setup was, since I wasn't the one doing the arrangement, so I'm purely just speaking about the experience during the party. Also, my HR person told me it's not Meghan that came, let's call her booth lady from here on out. This is the detail of the deal: Gathering Light Photography: A. Photo Booth Rental with Props, Attendant, and DVD. 1. When I first arrived, I was surprised to see the setup. It was in the back to Cap City Tavern in the patio area and the setup was in the back corner. It consists of the camera and booth lady on one side and a black cloth backdrop set up on the opposite side. Problem with this setup is that whomever is taking the picture has no privacy. Sounds silly but it matters when you're trying to get ready to get shot you want. Plus with only two sides, it's not really a booth now, is it? 2. Apparently during set up, the cord/tatter was broken so the booth lady ended up taking pictures manually with her camera. And here's where we run into more issues. 3. A normal DSLR does not allow many rapid fire with the flash, it takes time to "refresh". What that means is when we're trying to take pictures, one or two pictures would be taken, and then we'll have to wait, because the camera isn't ready. And then ok, back to our spot, smile, another picture, another wait. This actually is our smaller party. This "booth" definitely would not have been able to accommodate our normal bigger party. My bf, who's a photographer, mentioned that the camera she had was not a very robust camera for the job, but hey, I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe her skills made up for it. Until I got the pictures.... oh wait for it... 4. The Living Social deal we got was for 3 hours, she was not quite done setting up at 5:30, but at 8:20, we were told she's supposed to be done at 8:30. Which I'm STILL ok with, but between 6:30-8:00, our group was a little preoccupied with drinking/eating. The whole time she's just waiting for someone to come up to take pictures, while she's texting on her phone. Didn't really try to engage anyone who might've been sitting there/walking by. We didn't have a huge group, nor were we having important meetings during the party, some engagement to help the empty booth probably would've been good. I get it though, might've been outside the job description. 5. The prop box. Ooooh poor prop box. It's sad really, I can pretty much list all the dollar store items she brought with her. 1 small white board that has a huge half erased question mark (partly erased, partly can't be cleaned?), one plastic fireman's hat, one purple boa, two or three eye mask, one turkey hat thingy, one black hat with feathers in them, two small tutu (that we used as bibs in pictures), two cardboard cutout with Popsicle sticks that says something "witty" on it, a plastic sword, one tiara, plastic glasses. Pretty much it, I'm sure whatever I missed isn't that memorable. I've been to other photobooth, please improve your prop box to more than dollar store items, it might help inspire people to actually go take different pictures. 6. Oh the pictures, don't even get me started. As mentioned, my bf is a photographer so I'm particular picky, but some things should be pretty obvious. I didn't even go through all of the pictures yet. Some are blurry. Some with hands cut off. HOW? the person is standing RIGHT IN FRONT of you? Pet peeve of mine, but don't chop people's parts off in pictures! Why would you leave two inches of blank space on top but not include the person's hands in the picture? This one group photo has blank space on the right and the person on the left is half cut off. If I wanted to get pictures that looks as if they're taken with a camera phone by a drunk person, I would've taken them myself cuz I can definitely do both AND saved the company a couple hundred bucks. 7. And guess what? You pay for your pictures. It's not included in the deal/booth cost. Comparatively, this is not any cheaper than the last photo booth we had in our last party. All they did was sent us this online thing to look at the pictures, what happened to the DVD that was included int he deal? I can't speak to the wedding photography part, but purely from this photo booth experience, do yourself a favor and hire a real photo booth company. This is not worth your money/ruined experience. P.S. HR person said communication wasn't the best either, had a hard time getting ahold of them.

Beyond being a phenomenally talented photographer (her eye for detail is seriously unmatched), she's got a brilliant marketing and branding mind so she gets every shot (and more!) that I could possibly use for anything I want to do. She asks all the right questions and knows me and my biz goals intimately. I recently decided to try my hand at reels and had no idea where to begin so she sat me down and showed me step-by-step what to do and helped me develop a strategy for using everything we shoot in exactly the right way. She gave me the confidence to execute it all on my own and I'm actually having fun with it! Can't recommend her highly enough. I wanna give her an extra star on this rating!

Reasonably priced and well worth the quality photos we received from this amazing Bozeman photographer. We'll be going back for sure.

I'll now be able to second that...Bruce works miracles. He had me at ease and even smiling (something I don't do naturally all that much). He's patient, friendly and professional and the pictures (which I haven't seen, but my wife has) came out better than anyone could have expected. Add into that fair pricing, a very cool office dog and an opportunity to spend time in the Emerson (if you have the photos taken in his office) and this is the place to go for your photo needs.
