for couples who chase theextraordinary

Connor & Vienna · Whistler

HIRE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER. As a former photographer, I wanted to find someone who could capture our wedding and bring their own unique style to the shots. After spending WEEKS researching the best photographers in North America and narrowing it down to 10, I reached out to Gabe, had an initial call with him, and never looked back. His artistry is apparent, he has an eye for capturing breathtaking photos, is incredibly professional, and like a ninja at the reception!! He worked incredibly well with our wedding planner and made the whole experience seamless. I can’t give him enough praise or recognition as the finishing product turned out far beyond our expectations considering it rained heavily on the day of our wedding. Gabe was able to quickly adapt and get some photos that are beyond beautiful. Hire him. Now.

Finding Gabe was like finding The One. After weeks of researching, wedding photography started to blur together and the process felt overwhelming. I was worried I wouldn't find a photographer that I really loved. They started to all look the same. Then, someone I follow on Instagram posted their anniversary photo from their wedding years prior. I clicked through and found Gabe's website. Stunning images of couples deeply in love met my eyes. I felt like I found a kindred spirit, someone who cares about capturing the power and emotion of two hearts, the whole point of the wedding. When I look back years from now, it's not a flat lay of paper invitations that I'm going to want to see, it's people, and it's feeling. Photos are a time capsule; I want to recapture those feelings when I see them, and I want them to be an outward manifestation of our internal landscape. And wow! Gabe DELIVERED. The photos are stunning. I've never seen anything like them. They're unique to us, they're dramatic, they're personal, they're everything. And besides that, we had FUN! Gabe made the whole thing a fun adventure and we still are telling the story of rocketing down to the beach in a golf cart on the back streets of Sayulita. Don't hesitate. If you want a photographer whose images capture you at the height of your love story (and you do), you want Gabe McClintock.

Hiring Gabe was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and in fact the very first thing we did! From the very beginning, he was so professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. He took the time to understand our vision and ensured every detail was captured perfectly. On the big day, Gabe was a calming presence amidst the chaos, seamlessly blending in while capturing candid moments that truly reflect the love and joy we felt. His creativity and ability to frame each shot so beautifully resulted in photos that feel like works of art. Every emotion, every smile, and every tear of happiness was documented with such care. When we received our photos, we were blown away. The quality, the lighting, and the storytelling were beyond what we could have imagined. These are not just pictures; they’re memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your special day, look no further than Gabe. We would give anything to experience our special day again… and with our photos, we get to experience it everyday.

We've long admired Gabe's incredible work and so when we saw that he was coming to Edinburgh to run a workshop for photographers, we knew that we had to attend, as we are also elopement photographers. We also felt it would be an amazing opportunity to get some photographs of our own taken and so booked a Connection Session. We spent an evening climbing hills, exploring ruins, flower meadows and chasing sunset. We felt so relaxed being with Gabe and enjoyed our time together. He gave us prompts so we knew what to do, and he made us look incredible. We received our full gallery today and we were blown away! We are SO happy with how the photographs turned out and we'll treasure these images forever. We will definitely be printing lots of them and putting together an album. Thank you so much Gabe you are an absolute master at what you do and we couldn't be more overjoyed with the images.

We chose Gabe as our photographer before we decided on almost anything else about our big day. After falling in love with his work online, we decided to entrust him with full freedom over how he envisioned documenting our story and were rewarded with incredible photos that were such a testament, not only to his artisanship and skill, but his ability to render such a vivid, passionate portrayal of both the tiny and epically beautiful moments that made up our wedding. From the moment he arrived, Gabe put our entire wedding party at ease, instantly game for everything from a formal reception to slogging through knee-deep mud and lingering rain to a cavern in the side of an Icelandic volcano for our love letter ceremony. It’s truly incredible to be able to say that our photographer not only delivered breathtaking pictures for us and our loved ones to cherish, but that he made the entire day we spent chasing light across the countryside an unforgettable and intimate experience that is still one of our favourite memories of our wedding.

I looked at the portfolios of more than two hundred wedding photographers, and was drawn to Gabe's work for the timeless, spare and entirely elegant quality of the images. He has a singular way with light and composition, and a rare ability to elevate human subjects in sublime natural settings. Most importantly, he has the restraint to enable emotions to speak for themselves. His work is beautiful and powerful, and he captured some of the most joyful moments of our lives. We printed a few of our favorite photographs, and each time I look at them - every day - I am transported back to the beach where we were married, wrapped up in the feeling of love and exhilaration that Gabe captured perfectly. Gabe is the best of the best: a rare combination of true artistic vision and kind, professional demeanor. We continue to feel fortunate that we found Gabe, and we have recommended working with him to all of our friends.

Liz & Jarret · Iceland

I first met Gabe two years where I confessed that my dream was for him to photograph us someday in Iceland. Finally having Gabe give us the honour of capturing my friends, family and my two most favorite things, Jarret and Iceland, was literally a dream come true. Directing us while still letting real moments happen, holding my coat and giving me his own coat when mine became too wet while still capturing ethereal images. Gabe managed to photograph the most stunning images in the windiest wind I’ve ever experienced without complaint or worry and he made it blissful no matter how frozen we were. Most importantly, Gabe understood the emotion that Jarret and I are drawn to and took images that represent us best as humans, dreamers and as a partnership. An understanding we have yet to find from most people, but Gabe knew how to intuitively capture it. We don’t take that rare talent lightly and it’s our favourite part of our images.

Thank you so much for everything you did for us at our wedding. When the bride's father is a professional photographer, the bar is set pretty high, and you more than cleared it! Photography was the most important priority on our wedding day (next to the bride and groom of course) and looking back at the images a year later, we are still moved them. Your work more than documented an important moment in our lives, it also captured a deep emotion, artistry, and ethos that stirs us every time we look at our images. In addition to the absolutely stunning photographs, both you and Jenna were a constant source of energy, knowledge, and kindness throughout the entire weekend, even when fearlessly following us into the wilds of a national forest to seek out some unimaginable settings. And although we are both slightly awkward people, working with you both in an intimate setting felt effortless and natural. Thank you for being awesome and endlessly creative and fun, it truly meant the world to us. With Gratitude.

Getting married in Iceland was a decision, helped by Gabe right from the get go as it was his shots that captured our hearts. So when the time came, we reached out to Gabe in the hopes of having him photograph our day. Gabe was awesome to work with, we laughed, froze, got soaking wet and loved every second of it. Gabes commitment to us and the photo was in a word ‘unwavering’, no amount of time or distance stood in his way to make sure we had the best opportunities and shots. And when the photos came, they took our breathe away, they are beyond perfect. Gabe, we are so thankful to you for everything you have done for us.
