I needed some photos taken for a magazine article and I needed them on short notice. George was... incredibly flexible and accommodating as far as schedule a time and location. On the day of the shoot, George demonstrated incredible vision and skill in creating striking photos using otherwise mundane backdrops (office hallways and staircases). I received the edited photos shortly after the shoot. The entire process from start to finish was fun, friendly, and professional. I cannot recommend George enough.read more

George helped me surprise my brother and sister-in-law-to-be with beautiful photographs of their... proposal (and a mini engagement shoot right after)! George was discrete, even when the weather conditions made it almost impossible for him to hide. He made the newly engaged couple so comfortable. Most importantly the photos were gorgeous.Thanks again George!read more

I wanted the best for my girlfriend, now fiancée, on this special day so I went with George because... it seemed like he had a lot of experience with this. He worked with me to find a great spot and plan out this day, and relieved a ton of anxiety I had that came with the planning. 100% recommend George's (and his wife's) servicesread more

George was fantastic for shooting an surprise engagement with my fiancée! Having planned ahead to... ensure we captured “the moment” his communication leading up to the proposal and day of was professional and discrete. Dressed in plain clothes to capture the moment, the proposal turned out wonderfully unexpected - with photos to show it. All of the photos turned out great and we appreciated the quick turnaround of the best few for posting on social media later that day.Overall, we are very pleased with our experience and photos from George Ross Photography and highly recommend!read more

George was an excellent headshot photographer! He is very responsive and has flexible hours; I was... able to schedule a session within a week and the final edited photograph was available the day after. During the session he was very professional and respectful while providing great advice about positioning and posing. He was also very patient and took the time to take as many shots as needed until there were several great ones to choose from. Highly recommend!read more

Top-notch professional! George went above and beyond on all fronts. On the afternoon of the... proposal, George met me early at the Castle Hill Inn in Newport to walk through my game plan with me. Given his experience in the area, he was able to provide helpful tips to ensure that the moment was captured perfectly. Even though I only remembered 5% of these in the moment, George's expertise provided a real differentiated experience vs. other photographers I've worked with in the past.Following the proposal, George had a few extra minutes before his drive home and offered to take additional engagement photos. This customer service was above and beyond and provided some of our favorite photos from the day. We could not be happier - we highly recommend George!read more

George is amazing! We had multiple phone conversations discussing our vision prior to meeting him.... When we met (weeks before our wedding) it was like we were long lost friends. He listened and executed perfectly! He was the first vendor (and person) to arrive the morning of our wedding. He captured the most beautiful and natural photos (formal and candid) of our wedding party, families, and loved ones. We can not say enough good things about George!read more

In preparation to proposing to my Girlfriend over Labor Day weekend, I was in search of a... photographer who could capture the moment. It was early on in my research when I came across George, and I’m very glad that I did! There is so much I liked about George, but the one thing that stood out to me was his ability to ensure my needs were met. Before, during, and after the shoot, he was on top of communicating everything. George is an absolute pleasure to work with and an even better person! He really enjoys what he does and that shows in the gorgeous pictures he took of this very special moment.read more

I am so glad that I stumbled across George Ross.

I can’t say enough about how professional George is and the quality of work that he provides. He was able to put me at ease during a stressful planning process and he captured some captivating photographs of the big moment. Me and my fiancée will cherish them forever. I simply cannot recommend him enough!read more

I asked George to do a family portrait session at Goddard park. He did an incredible job and I... would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer to capture a special moment. He arrived at the park early to find the best locations with the best lighting to shoot, and he had a lot of ideas for creative poses, which was great because we didn’t want just the standard family photo. He got the photos to me immediately, which was so impressive, and his rate was also very reasonable. I would absolutely ask him to do more family portrait sessions for us. I LOVE how the photos came out.read more

George was extremely professional and very fun to have with us during our wedding rehearsal dinner!... He flew under the radar and captured some really spectacular candid moments of the event, as well as a handful of requested group shots. The shots are all gorgeous and everyone is smiling, and he provided us with a link to the album within a few DAYS of the event which is unheard of!! We cannot recommend George enough if you are looking for a photographer to cover an event, no matter how big or small. We’re so happy with our choice!!read more

I reached out to George at about the 11th hour for his help capturing one of the most significant... moments of my life and was hoping we could make something basic work to remember the moment by. I knew nothing about Newport and didn't have a whole lot of ideas so the plan was going to be challenging. Not only was George able to help me with idea's, we managed (in impeccable timing!) to put together a game plan that included different timing and location options that we'd be able to choose on the fly based on where the best conditions were at the time. And when it came time for it all happen, the plan worked flawless and the moment could not have felt more special! George was waiting just off in the distance and captured the moment beautifully, we could not have asked for it to have gone better! I can't thank George and his wonderful incite and expertise enough for making that day possible and making it special! I would highly recommend him and his excellent service to anyone looking for a wonderful experience capturing their special moment! I hope work with him again one day!read more

I contacted George to update my social media headshot photo. I cannot say enough great things about... his professionalism, passion, confidence, and drive to get the best shots. I was impressed by his guidance through the process, as well as who he is as a person. If you are considering a photographer, I highly recommend "passionate George" to make your dreams come true at a fair (and reasonable) price! Thank you George for a great experience, we will do business again!read more
