I would highly recommend Glass & Grain Photography for your wedding photo needs. It was so easy to work with Elise over the phone and via email to get everything sorted. She is very detail oriented and essentially serves as a wedding planner helping couples nail down their timelines, making sure you get all of the shots you want but also making sure you have time to take in the day and spend special time with your new spouse. When COVID came along and forced us to change our original wedding plans, Elise was there for us making sure everything would still go smoothly and we could still have the day we envisioned. Elise and Ian (main photographer) provided us gorgeous photos of our engagement and unbelievably beautiful photos from our wedding day, and in record time! They are very laid back and made 8 hours of photos not feel awkward at all, especially for 2 people who aren’t comfortable in front of a camera. And their expertise of great photo locations was unparalleled. We had amazing shots all around the Riverwalk downtown as well as in the suburbs near our wedding venue. Ian has a great eye for finding the best light, and he also is a photoshop wizard in case you need anything more than a touch-up done. I really can’t say enough good things about this brother-sister photographer team, I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. You can’t go wrong with choosing Glass and Grain.
Seemed great at first but when it comes to Covid problems they aren’t very helpful or caring and very selfless. Can’t say how their service is day of the wedding because we didn’t get that far. The deposit they require is also pretty steep compared to other photographers. If I could do it all over again definitely would have picked someone else.
As someone who hates having their photo taken, I would HIGHLY recommend Glass & Grain Photography. Ian and Elise made our shoots relaxed and easy. They are very talented at what they do and understand the wants and needs of their clients. We absolutely love your style of editing and made the process from start to finish an absolute breeze.
Nearly two years since our wedding, and I cherish the photos every freakin' day! He snagged every important moment of the ceremony, from fabulous photos of our first smooch, to impromptu snaps of the dear friends gathered to celebrate with us, to the more "posed" family portraits after the event. My husband and I are so happy to have found the perfect photographer for the intimate and spontaneous style of our wedding.
