I honestly cannot put into words how awesome Love and Brandon are! They truly have a great talent! I have only seen about 30 wedding photos so far and I am already in love! The pic...
tures are just beautiful! Love is so easy to work with and we had so much fun! From our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, we cannot be any more happier with Gra Photography! I would highly, highly recommend them!
There isn't enough space here to write how much we enjoyed having Love as our photographer. We hired her because we found her name completely perfect, but we did not regret it. She...
was so fun and accommodating at our wedding and definitely helped this non-photogenic bride get comfortable in front of the camera. Our sneak peak pictures were sent to us within 2 days after our wedding and they are PERFECTION. We cannot wait to see the rest! Love is a joy to work with and is extremely talented at what she does.
I had many problems with Love. I addressed them with her. But when your photographer shows up to take your wedding photos without her memory card I’d say the Day was off to a bad s...
tart. There are more things but i not here to bash anyone i just feel like i would have wanted to be warned. I was extremely disappointed and there’s one thing you can’t do and that’s go back and take new pictures.
I can't use enough awesome adjectives to describe the photography done by Gra Photography. From putting me at ease before my wedding, to calming my nerves on the big day, she thoug...
ht of everything! She flat out knows her stuff and can be creative on the fly. It was important to me that my wedding pictures didn't come out "cookie cutter" or like everyone else's wedding photos. I was BLOWN away by the images that were captured... just breathtaking shots that I will cherish forever. Oh, and can I just mention that she kept me genuinely laughing the whole time! Simply and joy to be around and work with! Perfection in a photographer. I would highly recommend Gra Photography to anyone looking for unique, interesting and beautiful wedding pictures (so yes, everyone!!!)
We absolutely love our wedding pictures thanks to Gra Photography! We felt comfortable with Love from the start. She was very accommodating to our needs and agreed to do a custom...
smaller package (2 hours) for us, which we were grateful for! She was sensitive to and in tune with our personalities and sense of style. I couldn't have asked for better pictures or a better experience. I highly recommend them and will definitely use Gra Photography in the future for other life milestones.
I'll just start by saying that I'm OBSESSED with our photos from Love, and so is the rest of my family and friends. I have had numerous people reach out to me after our sneak peek ...
was posted to tell me how beautiful the photos were. Love has a beautifully classic style, but also knows how to capture the joy and the candid moments, which my husband and I really appreciate. One of the things that stood out to us when first looking for photographers was how natural Love's pictures look. They are edited beautifully and the coloring is wonderful, but we still look completely like ourselves :) I was also impressed with her ideas for unique photos. And personality wise Love and Brandon are top notch! My husband is not into being in pictures, but they made him feel so comfortable with the whole process, from engagement pics through our wedding. Our entire bridal party had the best time with Love and Brandon and are still talking about how relaxed and fun the entire day was!! I can't thank them enough for everything and simply cannot wait to get the rest of my pictures. Truly photos you'll cherish forever.
Love was the last photographer we interviewed, and the first one we felt a real connection with. From the start we knew her quirky, fun, sarcastic attitude would work for us. I thi...
nk we sent the check the next day because we NEEDED to have her as our photographer.
Our engagement photos were amazing. My husband and I can be kind of awkward and we'd never had professional photos taken. Love made sure that she captured everything. Our photos were so natural - nothing looked posed or awkward. On top of that, we had a blast during our two hour shoot. Love wasn't afraid to take charge and guide us, and she definitely wasn't afraid to tell people to get out of our shots.
Leading up to the wedding, Love was so responsive to all of my questions. She was so quick to answer anything I threw her way. I think she replied within fifteen minutes when I emailed last-minute asking for videographer recommendations. We found out that she actually texted a couple of people she knew to see if they could do it, way beyond what we would expect from a vendor.
On the day of the wedding, Love showed up and was straight to business. Our wedding turned out to be hotter than we expected, and I was dying in my dress. Love and Brandon (her second photographer and husband. Seriously, book this duo now) went above and beyond to help out by carrying a chair so I could sit down between shots, supplying much-needed water, and even airing out my dress. Did I mention they kept our minds off of the heat with their upbeat attitudes and perfectly-timed jokes? Even when I was miserably hot and hungry, Love took the opportunity to take a picture of me eating a bagel. When I saw that improvised photo I about died. She took in-the-moment obstacles and made them into something worth remembering.
So far we have our preview photos, and I am in love with every single one of them. I mean, first off they're just stunning, quality photos. The thing we love the most is that Love style is pretty journalistic. Our photos weren't your run-of-the-mill, hand-on-hip-pose photos. They are original, and true to who my husband and I are. They were able to catch not only smiles, but moments. Looking at my pictures, my husband and I could not be happier. And in retrospect, it's a great feeling when you realize your photographer listened to exactly what you said you wanted. I never felt like my requests were ignored. Love was willing to try anything we asked. It didn't matter what it was - she made it happen.
We would recommend Gra Photography over and over again. Honestly, we could not have asked for a better experience with a photographer. Love and Brandon gave us everything we asked for, and more than we could have ever expected.
Working with Love was an amazing experience. Neither my husband or I really like having our picture taken, but Love really made us feel so comfortable and made us forget that the ...
camera was there. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we have gotten so many compliments on them. We can’t wait to work with Love again soon!
Love is an amazing photographer! My daughter and I met with her after I had spoken to her briefly on the phone. Her personality is electric, she immediately put us at ease and I kn...
ew she was the only photographer for my daughter and son in law. She captured their personalities and their love for each other perfectly in their engagement pictures, I cried when viewing them. On their wedding day the sun was shining , we were running around like crazy nerves kicking in however as soon as Love arrived she took charge and calmed everyone down. When I look back at the photos now I still smile and tear up, Love captured the most loving and intimate moments of that wonderful day. I will be forever grateful for the memories of my daughter, son and granddaughter. Do not hesitate to hire Love she is a true visionary and professional.
Finding and booking a wedding photographer was one of the most important parts for me while planning our wedding. Photographs are what you’ll keep forever to remind you of your sp...
ecial day! I remember after my now husband and I met with Love the first time, we knew that we were in good hands. She has a GREAT personality—she’s fun, creative, and professional. During the engagement shoot, she helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. She does whatever she needs to do to get the perfect shot! On the day of our wedding in July, she and her second photographer were punctual and captured every moment of the day—without being obtrusive or “in your face”. Even when photographing my large, loud, distractible family she was patient yet dedicated to getting the photos in! Love did a great job getting the “necessary” photos, such as the various family arrangements. One piece of advice (and this is NO way a negative against Love, it’s all me!) is to write down a few other random “must-have” shots. The day goes by so quickly and in the moment it’s hard to remember other things to do, such as individual portraits (my mom has close-up shots of my brothers and sister on her mantle), table photos at the reception, etc. Our photos came out beautifully and we had our sneak peek of them just a little after two weeks. I highly recommend GRA photography for your wedding! :)
Love and her husband made our wedding day! They were hilarious and made everyone feel incredibly comfortable. My husband is not a fan of taking pictures but had so much fun with Lo...
ve and Brandon! THEY ARE GREAT!!! We will book them for all future picture moments!
Love shot my wedding in my September and was such a joy to work with. She is so genuine and made me, my husband and my bridal party feel so comfortable. It was great to have her ta...
king the reigns on such a big, stressful day. I didn't have to worry about the photography side of my wedding day AT ALL. I told her the style of photography I was looking for a few months before our big day and she and her second shooter, Sean, nailed it. They can do it all. Together, they were so much fun and really added a light hearted and silly vibe to a day that can be so stress filled and emotional. I recommend Love to anyone in the Akron/Canton/CLE area. As any bride will tell you, the pictures are one of the most important parts of your wedding day and you want to be able to trust that awesome responsibility to someone like Love who will make all your wedding photo fantasies come true!!!
Can't begin to describe the amazing experience my husband and I received for our engagement photos and on the wedding day. Love was so professional throughout the whole process. No...
t to mention every picture she takes is awesome!!! Thanks Love, for making our special moments that much memorable
Gra Photography is the best! Love was amazing at our wedding. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better photographer! She is so creative and talented. She exceeded our expectati...
ons by far. She went above and beyond. She also saved the day by French bustling my dress for me. She was a rock star at the wedding by making sure our plans were flowing smoothly. I don't know what we would have done without her!
Gra Photography is the bees knees. Love is fun, energetic, and has great vision! Everyone absolutely adores the pictures she took for my wedding!
I enjoyed working with Love from the very beginning. She put me at ease and made the process seamless. Love is professional but also laid back making her a joy to work with. During...
the day of the wedding I was super impressed with her method of "dealing" with our spunky groomsmen who insisted on some silly poses, which inevitably made me nervous. She reassured me by saying "Don't worry, I made them a deal, every couple can be silly but the rest they have to cooperate." And it worked, we got a ton of great pictures and everyone was HAPPY and I did not have to go bridezilla on everyone. We also had no idea what kind of pictures we wanted, but Love handled all of that making sure we had plenty of traditional, fun, and unique shots. Our pictures turned out amazing, and I am SO glad we booked GRA Photography.
Love was amazing!!! My wife and I are absolutely more than pleased with everything we got from booking our wedding with Love and GRA Photography! Our experience was great from th...
e very first email we sent to her all the way through our big day. Love was always very professional, but she is a great person with a matching personality. She captured our wedding just as we had asked her to. She listens to what you say you would like and she truly understands that is important so that is what she gives you! We would not have had any other photographer there to help us capture the most unforgettable day of our lives and we will highly recommend Love to anyone and everyone we get the chance to.
From the beginning she was good, very responsive to messages kept in touch etc. She will require full payment upfront, I typically prefer half upfront half when everything is satis...
factory to keep the motivation for the job to get done. as soon as we were fully paid communication died down. She showed up 30 mins late for our scheduled start time on event date. but made up time by staying longer. She said that she turns them around in 60 days, at about 75 we asked where they were at, once again not super speedy communication eventually we got them around the 90 day mark. A good amount of our pictures are washed out, we asked for a few to be reedited which took about another 2 weeks, and they still wern't great. many people have noticed how poor the dress looks in the picture and how washed out people are. Overall I rate average, pricing is not as expensive as some, but certainly not cheap.
Love was a great photographer! Before the wedding she made sure to meet with us several times to finalize all details. I really liked how she had you make a Pinterest board so that...
she could really tell the types of photos you would like. On the day of the wedding she got every shot we requested and more. I would defiantly recommend using Gra Photography for your Wedding or any other photo needs. She has a unique style that makes your photos special!
Thanks Love!
Love was a great professional and even more fun! She did a great job shooting our wedding and we can't wait to see the rest of our photos! We were her first gay wedding and she d...
id not disappoint! I would happily recommend her to anyone without reservation!

e you get all of those important moments of your wedding day captured by the camera all without ever getting in the way of experiencing your day naturally. My husband and I are somewhat shy, but she was able to make us feel comfortable and get some amazing pictures of the two of us without having us spend much time posing (if we had to pose at all). We couldn't be happier with our wedding album; it beautifully tells the story of our wedding day from the smallest details to the biggest moments. Love really understood our personalities and that shined through in all of our pictures. We will certainly use this company for all of our future photography needs!

l like your getting a steal! She has a Facebook page set up for her business that samples her work and if you watch it she usually runs specials! Second, she has this personality that makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she's very easy to talk to and reliable to contact if you have any question before or during the process. One of the most impressive things she did was memorized the poses I wanted based on the photos I gave her and also on the poses on my wedding photos Pinterest board! That to me was above and beyond service! And shortly after the wedding she posted some sneak peaks of our wedding on her Facebook page! I had people conplimenting how amazing they were left and right! And our photographer said that those weren't even the best ones! I am so excited to get the rest back! I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any other photo session you are looking for! I guarantee 110% satisfaction. She will capture your moments in a way that no one else can!
