Gracie saved the day. I was so nervous about photography for my wedding until I met Gracie. She had a plan for the photos and it gave me such peace of mind. She was very kind while providing direction for posing. She gave me great suggestions for special moments I wanted photographed. I am so glad I booked her.

Gracie was awesome! I have a very big family and she was extremely patient with everyone. I’m also very photo shy and she made me feel very comfortable. She would check on me through out the day as well. She was very flexible and professional with the changes throughout the day. The day goes by so fast and feels chaotic but during the first look photo session with me and my husband it felt calm. She made the moment feel sweet and made us laugh and feel at ease. I can’t wait to see the photos, I know they are going to be fabulous! Definitely book the 9 hours and definitely book an engagement shoot first. I didn’t do one because I ran out of time and regret it.

Gracie did both my wedding and engagement photos and I could not be more amazed by them. She not only captured my actual wedding day perfectly she also caught so many candid photos that truly encapsulated my wedding day. She is an amazing photographer and such a sweet person to work with in general. She made me feel so comfortable through out the wedding day and she was also able to help problem solve when my timeline got messed up and I am so thankful for that.

Gracie exceeded me and my husband’s expectations in every way! She is a one of a kind person who does one of a kind work! We will have her do all of our future photography from here on! She is so kind and makes you feel like you’re the most stunning people she’s ever photographed. Her work is truly incredible and she was always quick to respond with any questions we had! We can not say enough great things about her and her work. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who loves an artistic/moody/ romantic style of photography!

We had such a wonderful experience using Gracie for our wedding photos. From start to finish Gracie did a wonderful job communicating with us about our photos and our options. We were absolutely blown away with the quality of our photos/prints and wonderfully pleased with the professionalism that Gracie displayed throughout the entire process. Gracie went above and beyond taking photos of our wedding, reception, grand exit, and even provided us with a private photo session away from everyone so we could have some time to ourselves at the end of the night. It was such a wonderful experience working with Gracie and we are so happy we decided to choose her for our big day! We thank you so much for making our wedding day unforgettable! It's a joy to relieve our special day through the photos you captured!

Gracie was and still is an absolute pleasure to work with. On the day of, she was extremely kind and professional. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted and even provided advice on how to plan out our day most efficiently. When we saw our first few shots just a day after the wedding, we were shocked by how beautiful they were. She is truly talented and made our wedding look like something from a fairy tale. As more and more pictures come in we continue to be be struck by her talent. Do not hesitate to hire her for your wedding!! We could not have made a better choice when we hired her!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further- you have found the one. Gracie was absolutely incredible to work with from minute one. She exceeded our expectations throughout the entire planning process from the moment we booked her. She took charge the day of the wedding and kept us on time while capturing all the important moments throughout our special day. Just seeing how excited she got while capturing these beautiful moments made Robert and I truly excited to see the outcome of these pictures. My entire wedding party, and my guests, could not stop telling me how wonderful she was to work with. We received "sneak peek" photos after our wedding and we instantly fell in love with them. Gracie is AMAZING! Not only is she super sweet,she is also very professional and the way she captures photos is like a fairytale. We are so obsessed and are patiently waiting for the rest of the photos. She's a true professional with great talent, but she's also a beautiful soul.

Gracie was beyond amazing. Not only are the pictures we’ve received absolutely amazing but she helped keep our day on track when we had unexpected rain. She was very professional yet assertive when we needed to get large groups together for pictures and sparklers send offs. For someone who isn’t very “photo conscious” she helped with poses and gave amazing pointers. Our day would not have been the same without and we had an absolute blast working with you. Thank you so much!

It was a joy to be your wedding photographer!

Gracie was a dream to work with!🥰 Not only is she so sweet and accommodating she helped my husband who isn’t super comfortable in front of the camera be at ease. She has a great eye for all things romantic, unique and fun! We laughed sooooooooo much during our elopement session with her and we’re able to just be our authentic selves❤️That was priceless!
I was blown away at how gorgeous as well as storytelling our pics were! It’s not often that my expectations are met 😜 but she exceeded them! I would HIGHLY refer her to anyone looking for a photographer☺️ She’s truly wonderful in every way.

I saw Gracie in action at a friend's daughters wedding. And I was instantly draw to how she operated at taking pictures. You see my daughter was looking to get married and we was in need of a photographer, During this wedding Gracie was everywhere at the same time clicking away and I just knew there would be some amazing photos. She took photos of things I wud have never thought of. So before the night was over I had put a call-in to Gracie to get a price for my daughter's wedding. There was an instant connection. So Gracie took my daughters bridal pictures and wedding pictures and every single detail was there. And they was stunning!! I highly recommend her, she is very friendly ,motivated and not afraid of the wind 😉 She did amazing...

Gracie Kate photographed a dear friend's wedding, and I was thoroughly impressed with her. She was able to capture unique and creative shots all with no thought of her own comfort and without being a distraction during the ceremony. Her pictures definitely captured each emotion of the day, from the sentimental, somewhat sad looks of the parents to the joy and elation the couple felt! My friends were completely satisfied and happy with her work.

Gracie did an amazing job shooting our wedding!! It was one of the hottest days in July and we were soaked in sweat but from the pictures taken by Gracie you really couldn’t even tell! She has great ideas and helps you pose which is something I’m awkward at! I don’t like photographers that just shoot while you do your own thing, but she was super helpful on how to pose to get some beautiful pictures! She is very approachable and a bubble of happiness! You’ll feel like you have always known her!

I loved how my engagement photos by Gracie turned out! She captured our special moment in such an authentic and sweet way! Gracie was very professional and a joy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable, and we had so much fun with her. She even got us some edited sneak peeks the same day so we could post them on social media. I have never received photos back that quickly, and I really appreciated it! Gracie is one of the most talented and creative individuals you will meet, and this is evident in all the photos she captures. She has a lovely editing style that naturally enhances every photo. We would absolutely use Gracie again!

It was August… that thing was literally a hot box but she toughed it out just to capture our moment. If you have any photography needs, Gracie will definitely take care of you!!
