I had the pleasure of working with Garrett Grove of Grove Weddings in August on Lydia and Burk’s Bohemian Beach wedding. We owe James Moes the credit of introducing us, as Garrett was actually the second photographer that day. Nonetheless, I was very impressed by his presence. He was very active about getting certain, unique shots from different perspectives, while maintaining a calm energy and focus. I wasn’t surprised at all when I got to see the images—he’s truly talented. While he acted as the second shooter for a friend, he is by no means second best, Lydia and Burk were lucky to have two really amazing photographers present on their wedding day!
