Grace Brown Photography

own her for years - she makes you feel so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera, and that really is what makes her so special and let's your love show through the photos. We had such a natural connection with her and it made it truly so fun shooting with her. Grace shot both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful - we and our families/friends were blown away with how perfectly she captured our love and happiness so candidly on the best day of our lives. Not to mention the EPIC dancefloor photos.. You will be SO happy to work with Grace - she makes every step of the process so fun and special, and the end product speaks for itself!

s become an amazing friend to us both and truly made our wedding such an incredible experience. Every guest at our wedding loved Grace! Our album has so many incredible photos we are in complete awe and unable to choose which photos to frame! Grace was so easy to work with and truly just wants to make sure your day is how you want it. She kept us laughing and made sure the photos truly showed our personalities and us at out best!! Grace is the best and the only photographer we will ever use & we have already recommended her to everyone we know!!

anning process and the day of the wedding. She truly listened to what we wanted and was able to deliver above our expectations. We loved working with her and highly recommend her to anyone that wants to capture very special, timeless memories with pictures

ntil the last dance of the night she helped bring a sense of ease and excitement to the day. I cannot say enough good things about Grace (and her team), the limit does not exist. Before I continue on, if you are looking for a photographer who is organized, creative, insanely talented while also being thoughtful and easy going, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and look no further. I promise, you will NOT be disappointed. I have been following Grace's journey on Instagram for 7+ years and when it came time for me and my now husband to start planning our wedding I told him the ONE thing that I would absolutely not budge on was having Grace Brown photograph our day. Her use of light, her framing, the way she captures the biggest and smallest of moments PERFECTLY constantly has me at a loss for words. All I can do is sit there, smile and let the beautiful work speak for itself. Thank you, Grace, for making our special day that much more special.

amazing photography part since that is what I am sure you want to know if you are looking through reviews. Grace’s specialty is capturing a moment through a lens and calling it photography. It is a still shot of a moment that embodies beautiful angles, raw emotions, and real moments. She is one of those photographers that gives you a pose or an idea and lets you run with it, which is why all her galleries are unique to each couple/family. It is because she lets her work be authentically you. Every smile, laugh, silly gesture, tearful emotion - Grace was right there, capturing it with the best angle and lighting. During a wedding day, moments go fast, and the excitement kicks you in over sensory drive. As I tried to soak in all the special moments during my wedding day, Grace was there making sure she captured them for me as my real-life photographic memory taking snap shots of the people we love, so we could cherish them for a lifetime. Grace also made albums for me, my parents and in-laws. She took feedback extremely well and was very accommodating through the whole process to ensure we loved our album layouts. Now the Grace Brown part – This to me is even more important than the photography and let me explain why. Grace is honest, fair, funny, generous, meticulous, calm, loving, and very talented. The first time I met Grace was the day of my wedding and she greeted me like I had known her for years. She came prepared with her photo list and knew every single one of my bridesmaids’ names and family members. Grace genuinely cared and you could tell through her actions. There was a moment in my day where I knew I won the lottery with Grace Brown. The party buses that were supposed to transport me, my parents and my 8 bridesmaids from Long Island to Jersey City were 2 hours late picking us up, which in return made me walk down the aisle an hour & 45 mins past my 4pm ceremony start time. When we realized how late we were going to be, I called Grace to give her a heads up. In an unruffled and relaxed voice, she goes “no problem” and started to develop plan B, because now instead of 2 hours between the ceremony and reception to shoot pictures, we only had 45 minutes! Grace immediately sprang into action. She was thinking fast, but present and joyful. The true art that day was watching her work and maintain happiness through pure chaos. Every time I needed reassurance that we had enough day light shots – she told me not to worry and improvised beautifully. Grace never acted annoyed or inconvenienced, she just calmly molded to the time she was given and still managed to deliver a stellar product/gallery. In addition, to accommodate the timeline delay, Grace stayed until the wedding was completely over, which was an extra 1.5 hours than she was scheduled. It was so sweet and just highlights that she is truly a good person that does right by her clients. I could not have imagined anyone else to photograph my wedding. I hired her for the portfolio of beautiful pictures but will return because she has a heart of gold, and she is exactly who I want behind the camera to capture my future moments. Thank you thank you thank you Grace – I could never thank you enough for being my calming force, becoming a new friend and delivering my favorite keepsake.

d kind demeanor helped keep us calm on an otherwise hectic day. You will not regret this decision!

nized and talented. From the start she was super responsive and sending me full albums so I could see entire weddings she’s done. Her style if very timeless- light, airy & emphasizes greenery. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Her flat lays are stunning which was very important to me as well as she always nails the first kiss shot. Throughout the day and the wedding chaos she made sure we hit the shot list we created. She never made me feel rushed and always made sure to prioritize what I wanted even if she was receiving other direction. We received a TON of sneak peaks, far more than I was expecting and they were all absolutely stunning. My whole family continues to rave about her. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her- not to mention she has a great personality, is so easy to work with and has a way of putting you at ease even if you’re very nervous on your big day!

ess. To begin with the most obvious, Grace takes the most beautiful pictures! She makes you feel so comfortable and is able to capture your relationship so clearly. I love how much fun we are clearly having in each picture and cannot stop staring at each and every shot. Never did we expect to have trouble picking our favorites - what a great problem to have! Grace also provides you with several different packages to choose from which is so great. What I loved about the package we chose is that it included coverage of our rehearsal dinner! By being at the rehearsal dinner Grace got to know the people most important to us. She makes such an effort to learn everyone’s name which is such a huge task but means so much (we had big bridal parties and have large families!). What was really impressive is that Grace and her second shooter got amazing shots of all the important and candid moments but they were so discreet! None of our pictures feel very posed or staged because we are genuinely having the best time. There are so many pictures of me bursting out laughing looking at the camera because I see Grace behind the lens and that made me so happy! Now onto working with Grace on a personal level. She is so kind, funny, sweet and all the positive words you can think of. She exudes excitement for you that is so genuine. My husband and I joked after meeting her the first time that we want to be her best friend. That “joke” has continued and we really do plan on staying in each other’s lives. My bridal party and family cannot stop talking about how amazing she is - my sister in laws even created a “Fans of Grace Brown” chat with Grace immediately after the wedding so that they could schedule family pictures! I cannot recommend Grace enough for her amazing work, professionalism, and because you will be working with such a wonderful human being. Hire her!!!

hether she was working or not.

ibe her. When James and I got engaged in 2019 I knew right away I wanted Grace Brown as my wedding photographer. BUT, I was hesitant because I have known Grace for several years and well you know what they say, sometimes it is not the best decision to work closely with friends or family. I wanted to support Grace in her art so we sealed the deal and she was able to photograph our engagement session and wedding day. I can tell you, this was by far the BEST decision I have ever made. I have always known Grace for her caring soul and kind heart, but this truly becomes evident while watching her do what she loves. From the moment my now husband met Grace (at our engagement shoot), he too, was in awe of how awesome she is! She is calm and cool..and funny… and makes you feel comfortable while working her magic to capture incredible moments. Fast forward to our wedding day, for the sake of everyone reading my review… and we have received nothing but compliments on our photographer. How she handled our getting ready photos, us ladies in the bridal suite, our entire bridal party, our parents and grandparents, and our guests. We knew Grace wouldn’t let us down, but having our bridal party and guests notice how fantastic she is was truly something else to witness. She gave us direction, our bridal party actually listened to her 😉, she worked her magic, and we finished photos in the time we planned for. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely GORGEOUS. We were able to look at our photos on our honeymoon and the way she pieces them together like a story allowed us to relive our special day while we sipped on tropical drinks and celebrated our marriage. Grace captured Every. Single. Moment. of our day in the most discreet way. Her work is absolutely breathtaking, light, and airy. It was everything and more to have Grace as our photographer, and to have our wedding bring Grace and I back together is a blessing. Grace, James and I cannot thank you enough for experiencing our journey with us. You are a breath of fresh air and you captured moments in such a beautiful way that we will relive for a lifetime. I hope anyone reading this review can feel our love and utmost appreciation for the work that you do. You are elegant. You’re work is elegant. You are simply amazing.

ments in a way that makes your heart flutter. While the pandemic stretched out our engagement for about two years, we found a silver lining because we were so lucky to have Grace do our engagement, civil ceremony, and wedding celebration photos. On the day of the wedding we had some less than awesome weather and Grace helped us rally excitement to head into the blistering wind and cold for some awesome waterfront shots with the pink city skyline behind us. I really don't think I would've made it out there without her by our side. Her kindness and friendly demeanor makes her easy to connect with and everyone in our family fell in love with her immediately. Thank you, Grace. We feel so lucky to have had these last two years to get to know you and you'll be our photographer for life now <3 Aubrey & Ed

ment photos and our wedding and we plan on using Grace for all of our "big" events moving forward. Grace is professional, kind, funny and navigated tense family situations with ease. She knew everyone's names, was personable, while still professional and took the most beautiful photos. If you are in the NYC/NJ area and a questioning whether or not to book Grace, DO IT. You will not be disappointed.

le that she works with feel unbelievably special from the moment she becomes your partner. Our experience with her was nothing short of amazing. The entire day she was short of supportive and understanding. She captured photos that looked how my memories of the day feel and to me that is everything. We got married outside in very bright light (seriously we were melting in the sun) and she found the places with the best lighting for the best photos. She is a gift to the photography business and a treasure that I recommend without any reservation. Grace is worth every dollar without any hesitation. Hire her, you will not regret it.

ent to capture your day so you will receive not 1-10 amazing pictures but 500-1000 AMAZING photos that allow you to relive your day ( which trust me you will once you view her storytelling with pictures of your day). She captured such romantic and dream photos that I was stalking on Instagram months before the wedding! Grace is SO talented in navigating the chaos during the day and help direct you as a couple. There were moments I thought I would faint while taking pictures ( heat and lack of breakfast ) and Grace knew I needed a break or needed to breathe for a moment to take it all in or would help me correct my ( resting bitch face ) if I was overwhelmed haha ! You will barely notice Grace is even there , she is capturing everything from the little details to making sure we got our gorgeous shiba inu Kaya in our wedding photos ( yes, while smiling ) ! Look no further- Grace has it all , impeccable creative eye, attention to detail, extremely great value for the amount of pictures, professional , comforting and by the end of your experience Grace is less your photographer and more of a friend that takes the most amazing pics in the world ! You spend all of this money for a celebration of your love and it goes by so quickly - these pictures are everything and I will look back on them for the rest of our life ! Thank you Grace for really delivering and capturing what was the happiest day of my life <3 You are so talented , and you capture the happiest moments with the most stunning pictures- thank you !

eeting her. Grace is sweet, funny, talented, organized and gets the job done. On our wedding day, everyone complimented Grace’s professionalism and how she knew everyone’s name. We got married in the morning and had little time for photos but Grace found a way to capture ALL of our guests and every special moment perfectly. Postponing our wedding with Grace was seamless, we even postponed based on her availability. We will continue to use Grace for future events and continue to refer her to our family and friends. Oh and of course, our pictures are flawless!! Thank you Grace!!

talent and photos speak for themselves. She is absolutely amazing. But one thing I didn't realize when planning a wedding was just how critical a photographer is to your entire day. I knew having photos was important, but I did not realize Grace would literally make our day special. We had a rainy NYC wedding day and, without Grace, I would have been disappointed. But she took the rain and ran with it -- she kept everyone's spirits up, made sure we stayed on schedule, and got the most beautiful photos capturing our wonderful day. She made sure everyone was comfortable and really captured the best moments of our wedding on film. Looking through our photos is like reliving the day. Grace really took the time to get to know us as a couple prior to our wedding as well. I have a VERY LARGE family and Grace knew everyone's names (including my 6 siblings and 5 nieces and nephews) before she even met them. It made for such a good environment and made taking photos so relaxing and fun. Grace does this for a living, but never for a second made us feel like our wedding was "just another job." Instead, our day was special and our small details mattered. I also want to note how gracious Grace was with our postponed wedding (due to COVID). She was extremely responsive and gracious when postponing our date and we could not have asked for anything more. We highly recommend Grace as a wedding photographer if you're looking for someone with talent, passion for their craft, and who is just all-around fun to be with. Thanks, Grace! We cannot wait to hire you for family photos in the future!

, and she has the best eye to get the best shots. Thank you so much for everything, Grace!!

th her and couldn’t have been any happier with both results. She was available for any and all questions, answered emails so quickly, and got our photos back to us before we expected them. If you’re still undecided - go with Grace 1. The quality of her work is unparalleled - Anyone can buy professional camera equipment and snap pictures. What sets Grace apart from the rest is her artistic intuition and editing skills to achieve perfection. As evidenced from the work on her website, we could immediately tell Grace is a master of her craft, and we fell in love with her photography style. All of her work exceeded our expectations. 2. Eye for the shot - Grace brings both the experience and a clear vision for great photo opportunities. Our venue had a myriad of settings which Grace fully utilized and confidently explored to give us a diverse variety of backgrounds. 3. Making things comfortable - Perhaps one of the most important things about our decision was how Grace made us feel during our engagement photoshoot. She had great suggestions that didn’t feel forced or awkward. Grace has a knack for making the experience feel natural and fun. She truly helped make our day unforgettable and most of our wedding party walked away wanting her as their photographer for their future events. Overall, we would recommend Grace to any couples seeking a photographer for any special event that you want to cherish for the rest of your life.

k from Wisconsin. The pictures were beautiful and exactly what we were looking for in Central Park.

s out from other photographers because she truly becomes apart of your life, she gets to know you as a couple, your family, your vision, the dynamics and executes that seamlessly into her work. She truly makes you feel so comfortable and has the best personality any photographer can have! You work so closely and often times to intimately with photographers for your wedding and it is so important that you connect with them. We did just that. Grace shares in the excitement with you on your big day and really makes you feel the most confident. The eye Grace has as a photographer is like no other. She truly captures you and your significant in your truest form and really lays out a story with your photos. I feel so grateful to have someone like Grace photograph our wedding day! We absolutely loved working with Grace for our engagement shoot but most importantly our wedding and will 1000% be using her for future family photography.

paths with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos. Thanks again for everything!!

the big day. I found Grace through social media - after looking through her photos it was obvious how talented she was. Not only was she extremely quick to respond, she was professional, and sweet! I knew from our initial phone call that she was perfect - so on top of her game. Her experience was evident in how she coordinated the day to capture each photo perfectly. Your wedding photos are timeless - they are the memories you will show your kids and the legacy that will outlive you. You want Grace to be the person to capture this. Her work is nothing short of timeless, classy, and beautiful. We hit the jackpot finding Grace.

eview will help with what I know is an overwhelming process (planning a wedding!) filled with so many decisions that need to be made. Let me help you cross one of those to do’s off your list. Hire Grace, and you will have your wedding captured in the most breathtaking and timeless way. I found Grace through social media- I kept stumbling on beautiful wedding photography and so much of it was done by her. I knew I had to consider her. Grace was actually the first photographer I spoke with- I interviewed and had calls with many others after that- but I was so drawn to her work and the instant connection we had during our conversation, I ultimately knew she was the right choice. She took the time to understand what our vision was from our first meeting, determined what a time line could look like, and clearly articulated how she would bring the day to life after getting to know me and Andrew what we wanted from our day. Leading up to the event she was so professional, quick to respond, proactive, and I knew she was not only and expert but was genuinely and personally invested in making our day perfect. And she was so flexible, understanding, and empathetic through the date switches and unknowns that came with planning a COVID wedding. My wedding was originally scheduled for May 30th, and we pushed and downsized it to September 5thand Grace was flexible and accommodating through all the ups and downs which definitely helped reduce the stress that came with this. Lastly, the photos Grace creates are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. She is so incredibly talented and has an eye for capturing a beautiful, honest, yet editorial image. My fiancée and I felt so incredibly comfortable in front of her and when I got her photos, I kept calling her a magician because I was so blown away by how outstanding and gorgeous everything looked. She welcomes your ideas if there are specific poses, looks etc. you want captured (and reviews this in detail with you before the event) but also just captures and directs the most natural and beautiful imagery. She is excellent at balancing the wants of her clients and her artistry. She captures the most flattering and heartwarming candid shots. She is worth every dollar- An outstanding value - especially when you consider the team that accompanies her, the time she puts in before during and after the event and the priceless work she delivers. Grace is an artist. And each time I go through my wedding gallery- so thoughtfully designed - I notice more and more her impeccable attention to detail and her ability to evoke emotion through a photo. I truly relive the magic of the day, time and time again. Grace is a dream photographer, and I am so thankful I made the decision to have Grace capture what will be one of my favorite lifelong memories.

sonally from growing up in a small Western Massachusetts town, and we admired her work so much that we didn’t think twice about asking her to photograph our wedding! Like many other couples, our original large “destination” wedding plan was put to an abrupt halt with the COVID pandemic, but Grace couldn’t have been more accommodating and empathetic amidst all of the crazy changes we had to make. Leading up to our wedding, she was always there at the drop of a hat to answer any questions we had. The day of, she truly worked her magic and seamlessly took the most breathtaking photos. We knew from the beginning that photography was something really important to us, and we are SO lucky to have had the best. Now, we are having such a hard time deciding which photos we want to include in our album, because we love them ALL! Thanks again, Grace!

“already booked” emails, we received a response from Grace. Grace set up a phone call to get know my husband and I, our very little wedding details, and how she could help us being out of state. From text, phone calls, and meeting at a last minute venue change Grace was there and rolled with everything. She captured the smallest moments I didn’t realized were happening in the moment, to the big. She let us be creative with our session while capturing magic. We couldn’t thank Grace enough for her service and helping us enjoy our wedding more than the planned one. Book her while you can for your special event. Cheers to your new photographer!

and Grace was nice enough to be flexible w/ us changing location literally an hour beforehand. She was incredibly nice, friendly, professional and got everyone super excited w/ taking photographs. She captured our love and our day better than I ever thought possible- we are incredibly happy and will be hiring her for our larger wedding and life moments in the future! I highly highly recommend!

g and frustrating time, and really allowed us to focus on the beauty of our wedding day - no matter where it was or how it was put together! We can't wait for her to shoot our postponed celebration in 2021 (she can't either!), but she was ready with a mask on for our backyard ceremony and TONS of amazing pictures. She sent us a "teaser" album of proofs within a week! Couldn't have asked for anyone more personable, skilled, and knowledgeable!

vastated, Grace managed to capture SO MANY photos where it looks like it’s a bright beautiful day. She was courteous to our friends and family, our bridal party loved her entire team. I will cherish the photos she took for my lifetime, they are exactly what i wanted and needed. I couldn’t be more thankful.

amilies, and truly listened to our hopes, concerns, and stressors about wedding day. Nothing felt staged or forced - our pictures truly reflect our personalities. Grace is extremely professional (and fun!) to work with and we can not recommend her more!

the candid ones. Her team did all of this while being totally non-intrusive and non-disruptive, which any bride/groom would appreciate! The pictures turned out great and we will enjoy them every time we go through them! From our engagement shoot to the wedding and reception, Grace (and her team) were absolutely great to work with and we would highly recommend her!

r many questions, worked through day of timeline with us and did a venue walk through to plan where we'd take photos. We felt so comfortable working with her and she was a calm and efficient presence on our wedding day. Grace saved the day by getting through family portraits in record time and got us back on schedule after our ceremony was delayed! This is exactly the kind of person you want to work with on the biggest day of your life! We were so impressed by the fantastic photos she took of our engagement and wedding. Grace was able to capture every detail in a perfectly non-cheesy way, and her photos showed us what the wedding was like for our friends and family. If only we had gotten a decent sunset that day I know she would have knocked it out of the park. Nevertheless, Grace found so many special moments to capture and we are forever grateful!

piness of our day, and nothing looks contrived or too "pose-y." Grace has a great sense of humor, which put us both at ease, and made us comfortable in front of the camera. Grace and her team were also on time and very professional. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

nd, Jake, and I first met Grace at a coffee shop in Hoboken. We enjoyed her vision, style, and preemptive details of our big day. We were so fond of her photos and personality that we even booked her for our engagement party! Our family still raves about her photos and many have ordered prints for themselves from her website. Grace captured our engagement photos, engagement party, and wedding day. We will ask for Grace for any future needs too. Grace is truly our life photographer.

everal photographers and picked Grace ultimately for the quality of her work (her talent for finding the perfect lighting and composition is truly special) -- but her excellent communication, package flexibility, professionalism, and genuine personality definitely didn't hurt. On the day of our wedding, Grace arrived early with her team at our venue in the Catskills and was a calm, focused, sweet & reassuring presence throughout the day. (My mom even stopped me at one point to comment on how sweet Grace was.) Even with our coordinator building in buffer time, we were running behind schedule leading up to the ceremony and I still can't believe how Grace and her team managed to get all the pre-ceremony portraits & wedding party photos we wanted (and they all turned out amazing!). At the end of the wedding, Grace let us know she'd share teasers within the next week and she followed up with an absolutely stunning set of ~80 teaser photos within the next few days! All of our family and friends were taken aback by how beautifully she captured the day. I loved how Grace's photojournalistic approach caught so many special, candid moments -- and her eye for light & composition took everything to a whole other, magical level. It truly doesn't get better than this!! We can't recommend Grace Brown Photography highly enough.

party (including us) feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day. Every single photo is better than the last and they captured the day perfectly! My husband and I are truly speechless by these breathtaking photos and have Grace Brown Photography to thank for that! I would recommend them 100x over!

y what I envisioned for my wedding photos! Grace is such a professional and so very personable. We LOVED our time with her and I cannot recommend her enough!!

e think "no way am I this cool, no way do we look this amazing, are we sure these aren't cool wedding magazine pictures." The candid moments she captures are framed all over my house! From the engagement shoot, to the wedding day, Grace was wonderful every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about her and her work! 1000x recommend!

d it shows in her work. My husband and I couldn't have a made a better decision choosing her. Thank you, Grace!! We cannot wait to relive our day through your amazing photographs for years to come!

s down the rabbit hole looking for a NYC photographer, I came across @gracebrownphoto and the rest is history! She is incredibly invested in her clients and her work, which is beautifully reflected in the finished product. Grace is extremely talented, highly professional and has a warm personality that quickly sets everyone at ease while shooting. Having been in 5 bridal parties in the last two years at venues across NYC and LI, I can safely say Grace is one-of-a-kind.

rsonality and passion for photography is so clear and it shows even more when she sent us the final products. She was speedy with the completion of the photos and even went out of her way on her vacation to send the pictures to my fiancee and I. I am so grateful that she was the photographer to capture the greatest day of my life- I will cherish these perfect pictures forever.

e were nervous when selecting a photographer, but not once when shooting with her did we feel nervous. She gave us directions but after that just let us be. Snapped away and the photos turned out perfect. After that, it only made sense to ask her to photograph our wedding. Before the wedding, we gave her my massively long list of must-haves and she got them all the day of! The day of the wedding she guided everyone through the process and made sure to capture every little moment I asked her for beforehand. She was so professional and fun! She got the proofs a week after we got back from the honeymoon. I can't stop staring at the wedding photos! You will not regret having her capture your special moments. Also, communicating with her via email, Instagram was the easiest. She made booking super simple. It gave us one less thing to worry about during wedding planning! We can't wait to make up an excuse to have Grace photograph us again! We would highly recommend her!

sn't afraid to be more direct or give more instructions when she felt we would benefit from it. We had a quick turnaround with our photos and any items that we ordered. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with and we would recommend!

my special moments. Grace is a winner!!!

decided we wanted just a few photos to commemorate the event. It was an after-dusk shoot at just the city courthouse, so all we were looking for were a few portraits. Grace immediately responded saying she was available and would be there. Her work that evening so far exceeded our expectations. The photos captured the courthouse, the evening light, and our special event in such a stunning way that when friends see them they always remark about how incredible they are. At my all-day Boudoir shoot, Grace made me feel comfortable and we had an amazing time together. At first I was nervous, never having been so exposed in front of a camera. But what started as nerves quickly became liberating because of Grace's professionalism and light-hearted nature. I could not have picked a better photographer for both events.
