More than just a hobby The Gandys find passion through photography

by CAISON KIRKLAND | photography by GANDY PHOTOGRAPHERS

For nearly two decades , Jeff and Julie Gandy have captured moments of love and joy through their wedding photography business , Gandy Photographers , a venture that started as a hobby and quickly grew into a full-time passion .

“ We just sort of created this as like a hobby job , but it pretty much snowballed once we got started with it ,” stated Julie . “ We were both working in fulltime positions and decided we needed to make a commitment , so we quit nursing and dived into this full-time . That has been almost 20 years ago now .”
Their shared journey as a married couple has uniquely influenced their approach to wedding photography . Jeff and his wife understand the emotions and nuances of a wedding day , both from the perspective of a professional photographer and a couple who has built their enduring marriage .
