Hello! My name is Greg, I’m a photographer born, raised, and based in Indy. 2026 marks my 5th year in the wedding industry, though I first picked up photography 8 years ago. I started out by shooting landscapes and nature, and I still enjoy traveling through the National Parks, camping out of my car, and just chasing the light. One of my favorite subjects to shoot is the Milky Way. I love a good astro-landscape!

It wasn’t long after first picking up a camera that one of my nieces asked me to photograph her wedding.. and then another. “Don’t let your uncle-with-a-camera photograph your wedding” they said. Well, I am literally that guy. And now, here I am. Over the last few years, I’ve been lucky to work with some really talented wedding photographers between Indy & Chicago. I can provide references if needed!

To give you an idea of my overall experience with weddings — I have photographed just over 100. This number includes dozens as lead, many more as a second, and several as an associate. Between ‘24-’25, I was hired to second shoot over forty times. This year, I will come close to matching that number.

One of my main goals as your second is to provide you with shots that you can use: alternate angles & focal lengths, candids, details, and/or covering any other specific assignments you have. I don’t need my ideas to be heard, and I don’t need time with your couple. I am happy taking instruction, and I’m comfortable shooting alone. I can cover either side of a wedding party — but an obvious fit for the guys!

I will pin boutonnieres, tie neck ties, find the light switches, hold the bouquet, hold/toss the veil, move your lights, move furniture, help organize family photos, shoot BTS, and grab your wedding coke. I keep my head on a swivel. I have over 15 years of customer service experience working in high end, fast-paced hotel & restaurant settings in downtown Indianapolis. I have served clients from all walks of life!

I still have some dates available for 2026. You can contact me on Facebook, Instagram or via email at greghessphoto@gmail.com.
