Gris Gris Photography

otos we wanted to capture, and overall timeline for the day which was super helpful. The photos we got back as our preview are so beautiful, and unique to us as a couple which was what we were looking for in a wedding photographer. I cannot recommend him enough, he is insanely talented, and we are so thankful for the moments he was able to capture. Do not make the mistake of not hiring him, he is the best around!

of myself and was surprised to have so many favorites. He had excellent communication and told us exactly what to expect. Thank you, Traven, for following through with our expectations!

the months leading up to the wedding, Traven always made himself available for questions or updates. Laying out the timeline and plan for the night was a breeze. We only had our venue booked for four hours, including ceremony and reception, so sticking to a schedule was important. Traven did a phenomenal job at managing that. We flew through the family portraits without missing a single shot; he posed everyone to perfection. Every special/funny/memorable event that followed, Traven captured. He didn’t miss a beat. All with the calmest, yet most fun demeanor. My husband and I had the absolute best time, and we have the most breathtaking pictures to prove it. Not to mention, the quality and style of the images are stellar. The sharpness, the lighting, the colors, the angles, the timing. As previously mentioned: Perfection. The compliments we have received on the pictures are endless. Many have said they belong in a magazine, and I would have to agree. Do not hesitate in booking this immensely talented guy for your special day! Traven, thank you for everything!!

ation of our first look/family photos fell through days before the wedding, Traven immediately reached out and was able to find an even better location than we had in the first place. I am not sure what we would have done without him! It is not an exaggeration when I say that nearly every guest at our wedding told us how amazing our photographer was, and we would have to agree. Our photos came out better than we could have imagined. Thank you Traven!!

ooter weren't intrusive or made us/our guests feel uncomfortable as they took hundreds (or thousands?) of shots. We were SO FREAKING DELIGHTED with the final shots. They captured our feelings, the vibe and the venues so perfectly. There were too many perfect ones that I literally couldn't choose favorites, so I bought hundreds (eek!). Thank you, Traven. We will cherish these images for the rest of our lives.

rson to work with throughout the entire process (he did our engagement photos too)! He was so relaxed at the wedding and kept everyone calm, happy, and having fun despite major last-minute changes and stress caused by an unexpected thunderstorm at our outdoor ceremony venue. We absolutely loved working with Traven and you will too. Make one aspect of wedding planning easy on yourself—finish reading this review and just book with him!

New Orleans area.

n to our ideas, and fun to work with. Traven knows the city well and has an eye for great locations and for capturing the magic of NOLA which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks Traven!

re the happiness and heart of everyone throughout our wedding day. I cannot say enough good things about Gris Gris Photography!

om the ceremony was unavailable. We were so lucky to find Traven! He has already provided us some preview shots one week later and they are phenomenal! They are better than the photographs we got last year for our ceremony and it had us wishing that we had known of Traven then because we definitely would have hired him instead. He has a special eye for detail and notices things that other photographers would not to capture shots that are both more artistic and genuine. On a personal side, he was very easy going, flexible and easy to talk to and work with. The preview shots have us so excited to see the rest! You won’t be disappointed in hiring Traven.

On the day of the wedding, he was very professional and seemed to fit in and capture the most candid moments. If you want beautiful photos of your special event taken by an easy going professional, hire Traven.

edgeable with his craft from getting the right lighting and staging the posed shots and especially when it comes to capturing the genuine fun moments in the candid shots.

ual and open to ideas, but also, thankfully, he also had lots of suggestions for helping us create the best shots while working around the parameters of indoor lighting, navigating the weather outside, and all other obstacles that might have impeded us on getting the look and photos we wanted. Again, Traven went above and beyond and had great attention to detail. Traven is a brilliant photographer, and we hope to use Gris Gris Photography for any events we might have going forward. Thank you, Traven!

and communicated mostly via email. Traven was always prompt with responses, answered all our questions, and was super flexible. Working with him on the day of the wedding was wonderful, too. He and the second photographer were on time and managed to be ever present at our wedding without it feeling like they were demanding or imposing. Nothing felt forced or staged and our amazing photos show it. Traven delivered some of his favorite preview photos just a few days after the wedding and they are FANTASTIC. We are so happy we went with Gris Gris Photography! It was all worth it!

the emd results.

he knot and were drawn to his portfolio, and can say that he absolutely delivered what we expected and more. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed

e easygoing and fun and even positioned the wedding dress on the hanger (and the train for group photos) so professionally and arranged the rings in a really beautiful, thoughtful way. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was hiring Gris Gris Photogprahy! Thanks guys. I will cherish these images forever!

He dealt with MANY changes in plans and was always so accommodating and patient with me every step of the way. I’m obsessed with all our engagement photos and the preview pictures we just received the next day after our wedding are stunning. My husband and I are super awkward and clueless when it comes to photos and Traven not only made us feel comfortable but I’m unsure how he got us to look so perfect! Photos aside, he’s just one of the kindest people and I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you Traven for everything!!!!

person feel comfortable. Not to mention the photos are STUNNING! The way he captures light, emotion, and mood in a single shot is beyond compare. 10/10 would recommend.

no clue what we were doing! The shots that he was able to capture were outstanding, and our guests loved having him around. Thank you so much Traven! Our wedding simply wouldn't have been the same without you.

that I would highly recommend! You can tell he is passionate about his work and he was very punctual and organized. Thank you Traven for so artfully capturing one of the most important days of my life!

later commented that the photography team seamlessly blended into the wedding. I particularly enjoyed Traven’s ability to manage getting though the list of portraits we needed and his suburb candid shots. We have excellent pictures of the venue grounds, wedding moments, and reception festivities. All the smiling moments he captured with our friends and family will be treasured for generations in our family. Traven truly went above and beyond any contractual requirements; you could see his passion for his work. I am beyond happy with the price and quality of Gris Gris. Just last week, six months after our wedding, my mother is still unable to pick a photo for her desk office because she “loves them all.”
