I'm reed Gallagher
I built my photography business in high school working countless hours between homework assignments & tennis matches to turn my passion into a successful & recognized brand.
As a teenager, I was taught to follow the path: get good grades, go to college, get a high-paying job, etc. Most of my friends from school fit right in. Me? My path looked a little more like this:
Find my passion for photography. Shoot my first solo wedding at the age of 15. Withdraw my admission from my dream college. Instead, go ALL IN on my business. Continue to equip myself through workshops and education. Oh, and empower other photographers to take their business to the next level along the way.
I built my business from the ground up and photographed my first solo wedding when most of my friends were playing video games and doing what a normal teenager would do.
But I wasn’t always this sure. I mean, who would hire a teenager to be responsible for capturing one of the most important days of their lives? Despite all the challenges and doubts, I took a chance on my dream and got my business license ( before I even had a driver license ), because I believed I could turn my passion into something more.
At the time, I was juggling being a teenager and a professional photographer at the same time. I went from my math tests and English essays to senior sessions and weddings. I even skipped prom so that I’d shoot a wedding - that’s how committed I was. I attended workshops and invested in the best equipment and education to grow my knowledge and skills, so I can help my clients feel seen and capture the most authentic version of themselves.
My business took off not because of luck or random opportunities falling on my lap, but because I simply showed up.
I want to photograph to really reach people in the most sensitive and meaningful areas of their lives. To help them see how special and unique they are, to move their souls, and to remind them what truly matters. And we shine simply by showing up and owning our story.
Since starting my business I’ve gotten to help people own their story, shine from within, and craft a life-giving legacy that touches lives.
AND THAT’S WHAT MEANS THE MOST TO ME.

Aly not only is a photographer, she is also a Private Editor for the RGP Team. She has always been a lover of all things wedding related, so back in 2017, she decided to take the plunge and officially join the wedding industry. Aly has been head-over-heels in love with the industry since then.
She started her career as a photographer and quickly found a passion for editing. Aly noticed that many photographers were wanting extra assistance with editing to ensure consistency and speed for their clients' wedding galleries.

As a former ballerina, she discovered two years ago a passion in photography that she never knew she had, largely because it reminded her of her dancing days. Posing is like choreography to her, and composition relates to the careful placement of her arms and legs as she moved her body, creating beautiful lines and shapes. Jordan truly cherishes the tangible memories photography produces and desires to gift others with images that will contribute to the legacy they leave behind. She also is passionate about making others feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera because she has been in their shoes and knows how hard it can be! When Jordan isn’t busy with photography, she absolutely loves to hit up local coffee shops with her husband, Chase. She also enjoys rewatching The Office on the couch with her fluffy labradoodle, Pippin. If you want a photographer who can also be your personal cheerleader, Jordan is your girl!

She will tell you the highlight of working at RGP is attending senior sessions, engagement sessions and bridal portrait sessions. Rest assured when you are in front of Reed’s camera your necklace will be straight, she will remind you to take that scrunchie off your wrist and she will carry all your belongings so you can relax and enjoy your session.
When she is not working, you will find her on the tennis court. She enjoys reading and curling up to Council of Dads or Friends with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate. She has been married for 22 year and loves to travel! She loves Jesus and has poured out every ounce of her being into raising her two children. Cameron promises that the RGP team will welcome you into their lives, treat you like family and capture all your special moments along the way!

Brittani has been photographing weddings since 2015 and loves how rewarding this job is. She loves that she gets to document the best day of her couples' lives and hopes to give them beautiful photos that they can look back on even in fifty years and still remember every feeling they felt that day. Being what most would call a hopeless romantic, her favorite moments to document on wedding days are the sweet, intimate moments between the couple... and she may or may not be known to cry during the toasts. On a Friday night when she's not out shooting a wedding, you can probably find her on the couch cuddled up with her fiancee and their pup, with a glass of red wine in hand, and a One Tree Hill or Grey's Anatomy marathon running on the TV.
