Adam Goarley Photography

My husband and I recently got married, and could not be more grateful for the truly exception work that Adam did. Adam was consistently one of the most organized, thoughtful, and easy to work with vendors that we had helping us.Once we received our engagement photos from Adam, we knew right away that we had picked the right photographer. He made every effort to ensure that we were comfortable and having fun through the entire photoshoot, and took the time to get to know us so that we could work together flawlessly on the day of the wedding. We were thrilled with both our engagement and wedding photos. It was apparent in photos from both events how relaxing and enjoyable Adam made the entire experience.Finally, Adam was constantly in touch with us, ready to answer questions every time we reached out, and had both sets of photos ready within weeks of each event.Thank you so much!

10/10! We were extremely fortunate to have Adam photograph our wedding ceremony and reception in Toronto at the Distillery District, AND at our subsequent destination wedding in the Dominican Republic. My husband and I are SO incredibly thankful for the amazing work Adam did and for his incredible ability to capture so many important moments!From our first meeting with Adam, we were impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and how personable he was. We were drawn to his style of photographs, and our phone conversation with him sealed the deal! We knew we could trust him to capture the moments from our wedding day, and he delivered! All his photos nailed the elements we were interested in and had discussed with him before.Going above and beyond, Adam had a Zoom meeting with us (we were out of the country) before the wedding and reviewed our itinerary and plans for the day. He was very helpful in figuring out the timing getting from place A to place B, building in buffer time just in case, and had several insightful comments for us relating to what types of photos we might want to consider. When taking photos with Adam, we felt extremely comfortable, and he was able to direct us very easily and clearly! He was able to make full use of the time we had set aside for photos and was incredibly thorough! A true professional who has an obvious passion for photography!From the attached photos (some of our favourites from both weddings), Adam clearly can photograph in very different environments and produce high-quality images! From a December night in Toronto to a sunny afternoon in the Dominican Republic, Adam can do it all!! As a bonus for our destination wedding, Adam had really helpful tips that he had picked up from previous destination weddings that he had done, and they really were game-changers! These tips helped us make the most of our time there and allowed us to take some memorable photos! We were so happy to have been able to work with him, and many of our guests for both events specifically commented to us how fantastic Adam was to work with and how personable he was!We are so fortunate to have had Adam be part of both wedding events! He has done a SPECTACULAR job in capturing the magic at both locations, and we are so thankful for his hard work! Both my husband and I (and many of our guests!) follow him on Instagram (@adamgoarleyphotography) because his photos of all his clients are incredible, and we are excited to follow his career and see his beautiful work! He is amazing and we would recommend him to anyone who wants stunning wedding photos! Thank you so much for everything, Adam! :D We are forever grateful for the magic you were able to capture for us!- From Jacqueline and Zach

We hired Adam to photograph our engagement party back in 2019. We met at a local bridal show and instantly I had a feeling he was going to be incredible. He was at our engagement party for 2 hours, in that time he was able to capture so many amazing details of the party, did all of our family photos, dozens of group photos and a mini engagement session. I was amazed at how quickly he worked and how incredible the photos turned out. When it came to planning our wedding… it wasn’t even a question… our day would not be complete without Adam.We planned a destination wedding to Jamaica. Adam had been to the resort we got married at so he was able to give us so many amazing tips not only wedding related, but ways to enhance our vacation. Adam, my fiancé and I had went through the details of the wedding and went over everything well in advance. When we got there, everything fell into place. He had asked all of the right questions ahead of time, did so much research and so much planning that we were able to enjoy our time with family and friends.On the wedding day… I was blown away. I was able to be fully present and not worry about asking him to take certain shots. It was so natural and he captured EVERYTHING . I didn’t feel like I had to pose or make any effort, and all of our photos were full of genuine emotion. He captured so many moments behind the scenes that made me fall in love with the day even more.Adam captures timeless, genuine moments. He is professional, extremely organized, and it’s obvious he genuinely loves what he does. We look forward to celebrating many more milestones and having our favourite photographer there to capture them.Thank you Adam!

Lack of enthusiasm and direction. Felt very commercial, copy-paste.Unhappy with final pictures. Adam required for a very thorough questionnaire (which I sent very last min in his defence) - I am not a planner bride and he didn’t have the flexibility to work around one of the most stressful day for a couple. Almost added a lot more stress to planning and I did not receive most of the photos I specified.We had a winter storm on our wedding, and us (and everyone else was late - the strorm right before Christmas 2022h- yet Adam wanted more money and wanted to leave when his time was up- im glad I did not keephim for even more money because I did not like most of our pictures - and neither did my family (even bigger bummer).I paid a lot more for photography and planned it for much longer, yet my videos were a lot better. Leaving me with feeling bitter.
