Hello! We're George & Christy!
We are the Gagnon Family.
Here are some fast facts:
We’ve been married since 2015, we have watched every season of New Girl more times in our life than we can count, we will be the best trivia partners you’ve ever had, we pet every dog we meet, life is better with tacos, and we’re here for the memes.
Our Core Values
At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand.
We are intersectional feminists.
Black Lives Matter every single day - especially Black Women and Black Trans Lives.
LBGTQ+ humans and their partners are safe with us. We ask pronouns and use them correctly.
We are a charitable company donating a portion of bookings + gallery sales to various non-profit organizations that empower communities we support with resources and amplified voices.
We are pro-choice.
We believe women.
We are registered voters and always exercise our right to vote in every election.
Colors are for everyone. Toys are for everyone.
We use our voices to peacefully protest in Rhode Island.
We are Legacy Photographers for all bodies, all sizes, all love stories, all abilities, and gender identities.
We are Legacy Photographers for those who laugh loudly, love deeply, and share like minded human rights values.
Why am I telling you this?
As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

Things you need to know about me - I'm quite certain I could perform a one woman 'Hamilton' show, I will stop to pet every dog I see (and learn their name - how rude would it be if I didn't?), at some point in time I will reference Harry Potter to you (and if you understand the reference I will love you even more than I already do).

Things you need to know about George - let's say you are stuck in a life or death situation and to get out of it you need to know who was the 3rd round draft pick for any sports team for any year ever - he's your guy! He has a hard time listening to any song without air drumming along and freaking out about how GENIUS some musicians are. He can also make a mean cappuccino.
A little about us together…
There are three more weirdos you need to meet - Our 8 year old Emerson Eisley, (aka the most funny person to ever walk this earth), her best friend Artie the One Man Party and Hugo Henri - the most suspicious dog you ever did meet.
The Rest of the Gagnon Gang
Emerson Eisley
Emerson Eisley is our smart, hilarious, adventurous, brave, silly daughter. Her favorite things involve asking people if she can pet their puppy, and immediately asking what their name is after. It wouldn't be a car ride with Emmy if we weren't singing at the top of our lungs.
Favorite Color: Blue (like her eyes!)
Favorites at the moment: Taylor Swift, Animal Crossing, reading
When She Grows Up: A singer
Artie & Huey
Artie, the One Man Party is our 11ish year old rescue pug. Being 85% blind doesn't stop him from living the life every weird, wiggly, puppy could dream of. He is Emerson's and Huey’s best friend.
Best Place to Sleep: Top of the couch like a cat, or in the laundry basket.
Favorite Toy: His Bone & Huey
Favorite Past time: Playing soccer, bringing little mouthfuls of food to eat in the living room, joining Emmy in everything she does, mashing his face into pillows.
Okay, now that we’re friends….
So, why Wedding photography?
It's simple - We FREAKIN’ Love GOOD people.
We are storytellers who create honest images with an abundance of heart, soul, laughter. and good times along the way. Christy’s infectious spirit, bubbly personality and passion for serving her couples is the perfect match to George’s wit, intellect and ability to make anyone feel lighthearted and good. You might forget that we’re there to photograph your wedding! You’ll joke that we’re honorary members of the wedding party, and friend, let me tell you, that’s how we feel from day one.
This might be wild to think about, but we spend more time with you on your wedding day than anyone else. We start our day bright eyed and with all the energy of Leslie Knope cracking open a fresh planner. As photographers, we don’t leave your side until hours later. It’s so crucial to make sure we’re not only pals who are on the same wavelength, but people you can trust, and rely on.
We love people - especially people who are outrageously in love, intentional on laying the foundation for marrying their best friend, and know they’ll be on the dancefloor the whole night.
In 20 years from now, are the formal shots of everyone lined up and smiling going to mean the most to you or is it Great Aunt Sue breaking it down on the dance floor? Or is it baby Charlie in his Sunday best giggling during a thralling game of peek-a-boo? Or is it the quiet moment behind closed doors no one else will get to see before your loved one walks you down the aisle? Or is it the photo of your family frozen in time wildly laughing with the wind blowing through your hair, carefree as can be?
To get a more in depth look at how Christy got started with her photography career, read her feature on Boston Voyager.
In the Eisley Couple community, wedding days are considered especially joyful. In Rhode Island, the dedicated wedding photographers who photograph these once-in-a-lifetime loves are members of an elite squad known as Eisley Images.
These are their stories *cue Law & Order tone*
