Grace was wonderful to work with. She was efficient and made the entire photo process feel natural and easy. She’s approachable and easy to talk to, and her experience was especial...
ly helpful when planning our timeline.
She really understood our vision for both the engagement session and the wedding, and guided us with poses that captured the landscape beautifully. All of our photos turned out amazing, and her expertise helped the day flow exactly as we wanted.
Our wedding photos were included in our package, while the engagement session was an additional cost.
Grace and Kate were absolutely fantastic. We have only seen our “sneak peak” album so far and it was a perfect capture of the day…you could really feel the emotion and feeling thro...
ugh the pictures. They coordinated a lot of people in our family photos perfectly and were great at managing time and capturing all the moments we wanted. Grace was always super responsive to my emails and she does beautiful work! I highly recommend her.
Grace is amazing! She made sure we got all of the photos we wanted and even was flexible with last-minute changes of where to take photos before our ceremony. She was good with kno...
wing when we needed some time to ourselves and helping to direct people where they needed to be (or not be!). Her second shooter and her husband (videographer) were great too. We did our engagement photos with her too, and can’t say enough good things about her work. Her photos truly speak for themselves and are the reason that we booked with her. She’s not only talented, but also someone that helps to put you at ease and set up a timeline that makes the day stress-free. We only got our sneak peeks back so far and are so excited to see the rest of our photos and videos. We highly recommend Right Start!
Grace is incredible to work with. We found her at a bridal expo in Philly and I fell in love with her natural but vibrantly colored photography style! We had her, a second shooter,...
and her husband as our videographer. We also did our engagement session with her and purchased our guestbook from them. Grace was so accommodating to everything we wanted to capture throughout the day! She made our timeline perfectly and built in extra time for things she knew may slow us down. Nothing but great things to say about Grace and her team through our whole process before, during, and after the wedding day.
As for the photos, they are GORGEOUS!! She's amazing at capturing the emotions and moments of the day while getting the formal posed portraits we wanted as well!
We chose Right Start Photography for our photographer and videographer for our October 2024 wedding. This was our most important vendor selection, and we have no regrets! Grace and...
her team were wonderful to work with. The included engagement session was a great way to get to know Grace and become more comfortable in front of the camera. If you're camera shy, don't worry - Grace will make you laugh the entire session and easily capture candid moments. We felt that Grace truly wanted to get to know us as a couple, and the resulting portfolio was perfectly tailored. Grace was also very receptive to feedback. There were a few specific things I wanted pictures of on our wedding day, and she went above and beyond to ensure we got them. The best surprise was getting some picture highlights the day after our wedding!
If you're looking at the videography, make sure you discuss with Grace what the different packages entail. We chose the raw video package and received our full ceremony and major events from the day (first look, dances, speeches, etc.). We were pleased with the quality of both the video and audio.
Grace and Bill from Right Start Photography were absolutely incredible! From our first meeting, we knew they were the perfect photographers to capture our winter wedding vision. Th...
ey were both so warm, friendly, and professional, and they made the entire process leading up to the big day so easy and stress-free. And then the wedding day arrived, complete with a beautiful snowfall! Grace and Bill didn't just capture the snow – they captured the magic of the snow. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking. They perfectly captured the emotion, the joy, and all the special moments of our wedding, with the snow creating a stunning, ethereal backdrop. Grace's artistic eye is truly exceptional, and Bill's second-shooter perspective added so much depth and variety to our photos. They were both so skilled at working in the winter weather, and they made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. We've received so many compliments on our photos, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Grace and Bill, thank you for giving us such beautiful memories of our winter wonderland wedding! We highly recommend Right Start Photography to anyone looking for talented and dedicated photographers.
If we could go back and choose vendors for our wedding once more, we would choose Grace and her team at Right Start over and over AND OVER AGAIN! Photography was extremely importan...
t to my husband and I when planning our September 2023 Philadelphia wedding. Like many couples, we compiled a list of photographers based on portfolio quality, price/hours included, and venue/area familiarity. After comparison, it became clear that we could not imagine our wedding day without Right Start. We immediately scheduled a meeting with Grace prayed that she was available for our big day! Grace was able to meet with us on Zoom (we do not live in PA) and clearly presented her photography philosophy and overall process. We were thrilled about the “All Day Coverage” package which offers up to 12 hours of photography. We wanted our whole day to be captured and did not want to spend a minute of our celebration wondering if our photographer's time was “up” already.
After signing with Grace, she took our engagement session photos in Georgetown, Washington DC. We had a BLAST together and could tell that Grace was the one to trust on our wedding day. The engagement session served as time to “practice” some of the poses we would do on our wedding day, which proved to be valuable (and fun!)
On our wedding day, Grace was truly impressive. She was able to capture individual bridal portraits as beautifully as photos of our 11 groomsmen, 9 bridesmaids, and 4 parents. When we say she does it all, we mean it! Her attention to detail is not to be overlooked. She made sure the groomsmen had taken their phones out of their pockets and were all buttoned up to the same button, which adds to the quality of our photos. Grace is not a photographer who will put a bridal party in a group shot and say, “looks great!” when it really doesn’t. Grace wants to do it RIGHT, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day.
A moment I will never forget from our Downtown Club reception was our first dance (band: Center Stage Soul). We let the band and Grace know that at a specific moment in our song, a flower petal cannon would go off and Kyle and I would dip and kiss. When the moment came, I looked at my now husband, closed my eyes, and remembered feeling cameras flashing and hearing our loved ones cheering. I didn't need to actually see what the moment looked like, because it was captured. When I opened my eyes and saw everyone standing with us, I felt like the luckiest woman in the world.
All of this to say, go with Grace. Trust Right Start with your wedding day and you will not be disappointed. In fact, you won’t ever be able to stop looking at your wedding photos and reliving your favorite day. Thank you Grace, for being our photographer turned friend. We appreciate you, forever!

Grace, Andrew, and Bill from our wedding photography team were nothing short of phenomenal. From our very first meeting, Grace explained their approach: 20% posing and 80% capturin...
g candid moments. This philosophy meant they stayed unobtrusive, so much so that some guests didn't even notice them, yet they captured some of the most beautiful, spontaneous pictures we could have ever hoped for.
Throughout the planning process, Grace was incredibly prompt and helpful, keeping us calm and focused amid the pre-wedding rush. Their easy-going nature and professionalism made them a joy to work with.
And on top of all that, considering the quality of the service and the final product, their pricing is very reasonable.
1000% you found your photographers here.
Look no further. Grace is your girl for your wedding day photography. We got about 70 pictures from our wedding maybe a day after the wedding happened and they blew us out of the w...
ater. We used grace for our engagement shoot, my budoir session, our wedding and will absolutely be using her again in the future. She makes you feel so special and i truly feel like I gained a friend having her part of our journey! You will not be disappointed in your decision to hire her!
If good photography is a priority for you on your wedding day and beyond, Right Start is the one for you! We worked with Grace and Ben. Grace was so efficient in getting literally ...
hundreds of photos as quickly as possible so that we could enjoy our day! She knows how to frame amazing shots I love the use of light that she always seems to find!
Ben was so friendly! He was literally crawling around, laying down or whatever he had to do to get the perfect shots!
They were both so attentive to the little details, and we will cherish these photos forever! Also...super quick turn around time!
Over the past few months, Grace has been more than a photographer to us; she's been a friend. During our engagement photoshoot we were able to get to know her and found her to be a...
friendly, relaxing, and supportive presence in a situation neither of us were very comfortable in. When we saw her pictures, we were blown away! Her eye for framing, for color, and for posing were impeccable, and we knew that we made the right choice for our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Grace and her second shooter, Anna, were professional, efficient, and light-hearted. They worked with us through all of the poses we knew we wanted and many we didn't know we wanted! We had a preview of some of the images at the reception and have already received the first batch from Grace, and every shot is fantastic. Right Start photography captured our wedding perfectly and we recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer!
We love Grace! She is incredibly talented, responsive, and hilarious. She did an amazing job with our engagement photos, as well as our wedding photos. She was great to work with, ...
and we are SO pleased with how our photos turned out. Highly recommended!!!!
Grace and Matt are amazing photographers and even better people! From the second we met them, we felt like we have been best friends for 10+ years. Every session that we went to, w...
e were constantly laughing. My husband and I are not graceful at all but these two somehow made it look like we were!
Matt and Grace were great to work with in the beginning. They invited us to their studio for a glass of champagne and were willing to walk us through any questions we had and addre...
ss any issues but on the day of the wedding, we didn't feel the same way. I've heard from my parents, in-laws, and multiple people in our wedding party that they weren't very kind to them. They missed pictures from the list we gave them and missed a lot of key moments during our reception because they were inside sitting at the kitchen table. They provided a preview that night of some images which was nice to see but it was disheartening that I am not able to relive moments because parts of the night were completely missed. Overall, I think they provide a great package with the album included and an engagement session but I wish the day of went a little bit differently.
Evelyn was bubbly and a joy to work with for both our engagement shoot and wedding. The wedding is a very long day and she was there for all of it, with a smile on her face. We hav...
en’t seen our wedding photos yet, but if they are anything like what she captured for our engagement- I’m sure we will love them!
Grace and Matt are honestly amazing to work with. My husband and I had worked with them as members of the bridal party of our friends wedding prior to choosing them for our wedding...
. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and man do they have an eye for pictures. They were also flexible with us because we changed not only locations but entire state due to Covid. Cannot day enough great things about them.
I can't say enough good things about Grace and Matt! Hiring a photographer was one of the most painstaking things we did because we wanted to make sure that whoever we hired would ...
capture our day perfectly. My now-husband is an amateur photographer, so everyone we looked at went through a painstaking review by him. When we found Right Start, we immediately decided to go over our original budget because we loved the albums they let us view, and let me tell you, it was MORE than worth it! The process with them from start to finish was incredible, and they were always so genuine and answered any and all of our questions. On the day of our wedding, they made us feel at ease and knew just the right ways to pose us, to wait for the exact right lighting, and were never obtrusive or in the way. When we got our pictures back we were over the moon with how they came out, and we can't stop looking at them. They captured all the looks and all the best moments, and were everything we had hoped for and more. I will always recommend them to anyone who needs a wedding photographer!
Although I have not seen any photographs of my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding yet, I must say the photographer and her team were amazing to work with. They were prompt, moved t...
hings along well, we’re very professional yet easygoing. I also took notice to how attentive our photographer, Evelyn, was throughout the entire day with capturing the many little special moments that happen.....like when the flower girl, my granddaughter, walked out of her shoe while walking down the isle at the end of the ceremony. :)
Right Start Photography is an amazing team who made our engagement and wedding fun and memorable. We couldn't speak more highly of Evelyn, our primary photographer, who is not only...
extremely talented, but also incredibly fun. She's the type of photographer who will ensure she has the best shot even if it means walking into a field of unruly bushes or the session is technically over but the lighting is "perfect".
We ended up loving our engagement photos more than we expected and we were able to choose from a variety of products that fit our needs so we could display multiple pictures throughout our home.
Our second photographer, for our wedding day, was just as fun as Evelyn. He ensured my chronically tardy husband got to the church on time and took the BEST candid shots at our reception. Because they took the time to know how important our family and friends were to us, they made sure to capture great shots of all our guests throughout the evening.
Another special perk was the day after wedding photos. Unlike most couples, we got married in two churches making the timing for pictures fairly tight. Not only were they flexible and affordable, but offering us the day after photo session was a huge relief. We were able to get the pictures we wanted without stressing, spent more quality time as a couple during our session without any interruptions, and got to spend more time with Evelyn (who we clearly love).
We highly recommend you consider RSP and we know you'll receive the best service, value, and quality...and Evelyn will most likely become your new best friend for life.
Honestly, choosing RSP for our photographers was undeniably thr best decision we made for our wedding day.
Grace and Matt were fantastic!!! Great wedding photographs were a priority to me, and they exceeded my expectations! And we didn’t pay an arm and leg either. Our wedding photos c...

o comfortable and we had such an awesome time doing our engagement photos, and I can’t wait for the wedding day to do some more! I also admire how organized they are and their communication was on point throughout the whole process! Best team we could have hired to do the job! Trust us, if you want to feel confident and amazing throughout the wedding process hire this team!!
Grace and Matt and the whole Right Start Photography team have been such a blessing for us during our wedding process! It’s already hard enough getting married during a pandemic, b...
ut their whole team has made it such an enjoyable experience! From engagement photos to the big day, we are so blessed to have them as our photographers! They were in constant communication and planning for the big day and it was so helpful! We also will definitely be using them for any future big moments in our life! Thank you Right Start Photography team!
Grace and Matt are not only incredible photographers, but they’re also the most amazing people! When my fiancé and I had to postpone our large wedding due to covid, Grace immediate...
ly assured us that they would be with us on our new date, AND that they’d gift us a couple hours to shoot our minimony! I was brought to tears when I read that! In such a stressful time, having vendors who care about you as if you’re family is so important. Now, as it turns out, my fiancé and I are having our minimony at their new small venue Casablanca! The space is absolutely stunning!
We still swoon over how our engagement photos came out, and I know our minimony photos will be gorgeous as well! I have my complete and total faith in Grace and Matt! You truly cannot go wrong with the entire Right Start team. Phenomenal photos, incredible, genuine people, and a beautiful new space at Casablanca!
Reach out and book ASAP! You will NOT be disappointed!

So my review is a bit different, but I can absolutely vouch for Right Start Photography's talent and professionalism. The wedding date listed below is actually the date of the styl...
ed shoot in which I modeled.
I modeled for a styled shoot that Right Start hosted at their new event venue in Coatesville. Grace and her husband were kind, professional, and incredibly talented, and working with them was a very enjoyable experience. Right Start Photography does truly excellent work that you will treasure for a lifetime, and you will be very happy if you hire them to shoot your wedding!
My son and daughter-in-law used Right Start Photography when they got engaged and loved them so much they had them photograph their wedding. You don’t just get photographers, you ...
get family. Hope you’re as lucky as we were.
I highly recommend booking Right Start Photography to be your wedding photographer. Grace and Matt went above and beyond on our wedding day with helping to reorganize our schedule ...
the day of and Grace even cut our cake for us because we had issues with our caterer. They were both extremely friendly and professional and the pictures they took of our wedding and engagement shoot are perfect. It ended up raining on our wedding day but Grace and Matt took advantage of it and took some beautiful rain shots that are probably my favorite from our wedding. So if you're looking for a wedding photographer, definitely book with Right Start Photography and you won't be disappointed!

so many special moments and made the day so easy! They kept us on track and got people moving with our big families and got pictures with everyone. They dealt with our rowdy 20 person bridal party and stayed strong on one of the hottest days of the summer! Our album is GORGEOUS and we look at it often to remember the most perfect day ever. It was a pleasure working with Grace and Matt and are very happy we chose them to capture our special day!
Grace and Matt are the ultimate dynamic duo. They run through a wedding day like a well oiled machine. They have their system DOWN to a science. They don't miss a beat, it's actua...
lly mind boggling. They also are so fun and easy to get along with, they can blend in and mesh with any crowd.
Beyond their superior level of talent and skill, they are incredibly efficient. They help assist and move the bridal party through the process of photos with such ease, getting beautiful candid moments, as well as making sure every family formal portrait (that believe me, your grandma is going to ask for!) is accounted for. Not only that, but they have stunning, magazine worthy, Pinterest goals, stunning photos done and ready for viewing AT THE RECEPTION. Who does that!? Grace and Matt do. Because they are amazing.

Grace & Matt are the quintessential photography duo. Not only are they incredible photographers that create so many iterations of “the” shot that it seems impossible to pick a favo...
rite, they’re wonderful people. They make the tight schedule and rushing around of the day seem less stressful because of how much fun you have being around them. For both our engagement shoot last year and our wedding just last month, I laughed with them so hard my stomach hurt. They really become your friends, it’s the greatest dynamic we could have hoped for! & The images speak for themselves. I’ve never seen photos that captured our personalities but also made us look so much like ourselves like the ones we received from Right Start. They absolutely killed it, we could not have chosen a more perfect duo to capture our favorite day. Thank you a million times over!

pher. Right Start Photography was one of the first vendors we booked because we knew we had to have them. We received an engagement shoot when we booked them for our wedding. At this time I knew they really valued their work and the products they give their clients. The first date we had scheduled ended up being a really cloudy and potentially rainy day. Grace emailed me right away to give me the option to reschedule to provide us with the best experience and images possible. I was really appreciative of this because it showed me that they really cared about their work. On our wedding day they were so flexible and helpful with so much more than taking pictures. My gown had buttons on it and I forgot a crochet hook to make closing the buttons easier, Grace had one! We decided to not do a first-look so the time to take pictures wasn’t very long, but Grace and Matt did an excellent job keeping everyone on track. They were direct and made sure that the entire bridal party was staying focused and staying where they needed to be. During the reception we got to see a preview of some of the images! This was so special to see them right away! My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Grace & Matt made it so easy for us. The images we have seen so far (including our engagement pics) are absolutely stunning! We are so excited to see the rest of our images!! We recommend Right Start Photography to everyone!
I cannot say enough about Grace and Matt. They made everything about or special day even more special. After getting our pictures we are more than thrilled!! They are PERFECT! They...
are an awesome duo who really complete each other. They were able to give us a sneak peak at about 10 pictures during the reception and they were stunning. So many people came up to me commenting on how beautiful those few pictures were. We have hundreds of pictures now and I have to say they are all equally as beautiful. Thanks again Grace and Matt! We recommend them 100%
One word- AMAZING!!
I can't say enough amazing things about Grace and Matt. The did more than just take photos - they literally did everything in their power to make our day as magical as possible. T...
hey helped facilitate everything all day, and did all they could to help me stay calm, focused, and sane through what felt like a whirlwind experience. There were so many instances where it honestly felt like I was just leaning on a friend's shoulder. One of these moments was when Grace got on the floor (literally, on the floor, lying down) to help me change from my sandals to socks and sneakers because my dress was too big for me to bend over and do it myself. And the photos speak for themselves - my guests will not stop raving about how stunning and dramatic they are! Grace and Matt captured the best moments of our lives, and we were so blessed to have had them by our side on our magical day. They truly helped make our fairytale come true.
Grace and Matt are wonderful to work with! The pictures they take are so great! Our wedding was 6 months ago, but we love reliving our day by going through the photos! I would high...

I just keep saying WOW over and over again when looking at our wedding album. We are so thankful we chose Matt and Grace as our photographers for our big day after seeing another c...
ouples’s pictures they had taken at our venue. They were the only photographer we met with and we just knew that they were the ones for us. They truly have a gift and work seamlessly as a team. I think my favorite part about their photos is the artistry that they put into them and their understanding of composition and lighting is second to none. They were also so flexible with our family requesting pictures. I could honestly go on and on about them and their photos. Book them if you can, you will not regret it!!
Check out their website. They do amazing, person
Seriously the best photographer out there not only are they a photographer but Grace even bustled my dress !!! the best part was they even had a laptop there to show everybody prev...
iews of our pictures and everybody ranted and raved about how beautiful, crisp and sharp the photos were! I don’t think I’ve ever seen photos that were this clear and not only that Grace and Matt We’re both very quick to get back to us with any questions or concerns we had I even asked her for an early preview of my pictures for my thank you cards and she had about 20 ready in about an hour for me to pick from !!! this is by far the best photographer you could ever get for your pictures but also the bestCustomer service I think I have ever received !!!
Great couple. I have done two of our weddings and are now on our third they are amazing!
Working with Grace and Matt was an absolute pleasure! From our first meeting, when my (very picky) Dad sat down with them to discuss their equipment, and look over their portfoli...
o, to my last meeting where my mom and I sat down with Grace to design my album, they were nothing short of amazing. Our photos perfectly captured our happiness and excitement on the most amazing day of our lives. They were easy to get in touch with, and very quickly helped ease any of my concerns while we were in the wedding planning phases.
Grace and Matt did the photography for my wedding and my cousin's wedding, which I was in the wedding party for. Grace also did the engagement photos for my sister-in-law. Their ph...
otos are spectacular, and I can't recommend them enough. They are very professional and get things done quickly, so the members of the wedding party can enjoy as much of the wedding as possible.
