to our kids and knew how important they were to be in some shots as well. She kept everything running smoothly and I appreciate that so much. We are so excited to see our photos and have no doubt that they will be so beautiful. Thank you cso much for helping to make our day so wonderful!!
Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing.
On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were h...
erding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos!
As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well.
All in all, a wonderful experience!
It was such a pleasure to have Grace as our photographer throughout this wedding journey. We had Grace shoot our engagement photos (which we loved!) in addition to our wedding.

e was very communicative. From the very beginning, she was clear on pricing. She would always work with my schedule when setting up meetings to go over timelines. She even went over every photo with me after the engagement shoot to make sure that we’re all exactly what I was envisioning.
On our wedding day she literally went above and beyond for us as well. She brought an assistant with her, as well as some great props and florals to be used in the photos. She did an amazing job sticking with my detailed timeline, getting photos at every location I wanted on property, and did a great job corralling our families during cocktail hour and giving firm and efficient directions so we could get the pictures quickly and they could get back to the fun.
She is very knowledgeable about lighting and posing.
Thank you so much Grace!

he'd do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would've climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding!
She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple.

One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people"...
, as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.
We are grateful to have Grace as our wedding photographer. We initially set our wedding date on a different date but due to unforeseen family situations, we had to move up our wedd...
ing date and Grace was super flexible to be able to accommodate. Grace guided us from the start to the end! We had a few video calls to run though the timeline and Grace’s attentiveness helped remind us the bigger and smaller aspects of the day where we would have forgotten to plan for, given that we didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator. Also, she has such great patience in guiding us with our poses! Thank you Grace for capturing our wedding day for us!!

DIY with no day-of-coordinator, but Grace helped us guide our guests to the different spaces on our schedule to get the best shots in each location. Not to mention. I was also terribly nervous, but Grace’s professionalism and sincerity helped to put me at ease throughout the day. She helped me and my fiancé to feel confident not only in our photos but also throughout the entirety of the wedding. Her instructions on posing and choreographing us through all the photos was amazing.
Grace and her assistant had excellent communication with us from the time of booking their services to the very last moment of our wedding. I always knew exactly what to expect, and they always were checking in with me about my expectations for the photos and for the day.
All of the guests and other vendors thought Grace was a rockstar and loved knowing she was capturing some of their special moments as well.
I highly recommend the team at Oury Memories for engagement and wedding photography - they will truly make all of your photo dreams come true.
