to stick to a schedule and make the most of every situation! It was so reassuring to have her there on our wedding day, not only because we knew we could trust her to take great photos, but also because she has a real knack for coordinating people. She helped us, our friends and our family members relax and enjoy the photo-taking process, which is saying something, because wedding days can be a little stressful! Everyone told us afterward how much fun she was to work with, and we couldn't agree more!
We especially appreciated that she took the time to show us shots as we went through the day to make sure we were getting the types of images we wanted. She also has great suggestions for photo locations and poses--she knows her stuff! Our engagement photos and our wedding photos turned out better than we ever expected, and that's all thanks to her artistic eye, her creativity and her clear passion for what she does.
Kate was phenomenal four our engagement photos and on our wedding day. She took amazing photographs of everything we wanted. We hired her along with a second photographer which mad...
e getting all the photos day of extremely easy. They are very knowledgeable and easily answer any questions taking care of all of our concerns. I would highly recommend them.
Maria was the absolute best photographer I could’ve ever hoped to find for our wedding. She was super flexible with all last minute COVID changes, and made everything so fun! From ...
our engagement shoot all the way to the wedding, she was so great. We love EVERY single photo we got back. These pictures and the experience are worth so much more than Maria could ever charge. Can’t wait to look back on them forever!! Thanks so much, Maria!!! You are our hero!
Everything about the Grand Wedding is amazing! They are so professional and organized throughout the whole process. On the wedding day they made everyone feel so comfortable and ea...
sed the whole process. By the end of the night they felt like family - one of the photographers jumped in and taught us a line dance :)
Overall, the whole experience was great and the pictures blew our expecations out of the water. I couldn't have asked for anything better!
The grand wedding was an absolute blast to work with from day one of our engagements! The team is quick to respond, personable, and SO FUN! We loved all of our engagements, bridals...
, and wedding day photos and video. We decided just a few weeks before the wedding that we wanted to do a video and they had no issue finding us a videographer and did an amazing job! We have received endless compliments from family and friends on all of it! I cannot stop looking at our pictures and watching our video, which we got within the week of our wedding! We have recommended the Grand Wedding to several engaged friends and cannot stress enough how amazing working with Maria, Kate, Alex, and the entire team was!
Our photographer was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding. My fiance found them and really liked the sample photos online so we went ahead and booked. The actual book...
ing was very easy and the price was reasonable. The experience we had with them leading up to the wedding was nice. We booked Kate and Illia. Day of was really great. Kate and Illia were in constant contact with us from the morning of the wedding. They were very friendly and good with organizing and helping us get the shots that we wanted. They took candid pictures while we got ready with some posed ones as well. When we came together for the first look and everything after that they worked together really well to get the best shots. We did so well with the timing of the pictures and getting everything we needed, in fact, that my wife and I had enough time to sit by ourselves and relax for a little while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. They were everywhere during the reception, without being in the way, and it looks like they got a lot of really good pictures and the video. I can't wait to see the finished product!
What can I say.. By far the best vendor we had at our wedding. The Grand Wedding surpassed our high expectations. Maria's professionalism is outstanding, regardless if it was a cal...
l or text she replied almost instantly as the last details of the wedding were being refined. She is also very creative yet patient. Maria arrived with ampt time to scope the locations to perfect every item on the agenda. She didn't miss any moment and captured more than we thought imaginal.
There are no words to describe how thankful my husband and I are for Maria and the Grand Wedding team. From our first meeting with her we
knew there is no one else we wanted to ca...
pture our day. Her communication skills are beyond those of any of our other vendors. Her skill and creativity brought the photos of our day to a whole level we never expected. Our family and friends were in awe of the moments that she was able to capture amongst the chaos that was our lively and rambunctious family. I was lucky enough to have Maria capture my bridal shower, engagement photos and wedding. Her attention to capturing all the details that as a couple you do not get to see on the day of gave me the ability to see all of the work my husband and I put into our wedding come together. From the photos of my shoes to the photos of the end of the night every memory we could imagine was captured.
For anyone who is looking for a true artist with an amazing eye for capturing your big day Maria is the person you want photographing your day.
The grand wedding did such a beautiful job on our wedding. We hired them to be our photographer and videographer. From day one working with them, they were very patient with our qu...
estions and went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% happy with the final result. The photos, video, and album came out amazing! The album told a story and our families were in awe of the work they put into every aspect for our wedding. We are very happy we hired them!
You should book the Grand Wedding Production for your wedding photos! We absolutely loved our wedding photos. Maria and her team were able to capture all the special moments of our...

rch on wedding photographers and as soon as I talked to Julia on the phone I knew I wanted to work with her team. She was personable, upfront and super organized. Maria, our day of photographer, was amazing! She went over all our details weeks ahead of time and made a list of the shots we really wanted to get. On the day of we were so blissfully in our own happy little world that we weren’t really paying attention to details, but Maria was all over it. She made sure she got everything we asked for and went above and beyond, even making sure the train of my dress was perfect in every single shot. We had so much fun with our wedding party and she captured all of our candidness and natural smiles, just letting us do our own thing, which made the photos feel very real and authentic, not staged or forced.
The Grand Wedding Production did an incredible job at our wedding. The photographers were friendly, easygoing, and so much fun! The formal pictures before and after the ceremony we...
nt by quickly and were captured beautifully. As my husband and I made our way to each table at the reception to say hi, one of the photographers followed to ensure we had individual pictures with all of our guests. They even offered to take pictures with our guest's cameras which I thought was sweet! I can't stop looking throughout our wedding pictures--they are just perfect.
The pictures from our wedding and engagement look amazing, and the Grand Wedding made sure every detail leading up to the wedding was covered! We had two fantastic photographers - ...
Maria and Kate, who came early and stayed right on the timeline they prepared for our wedding day! I am so happy we will have these pictures for the rest of our lives, and couldn't recommend the team enough. Thank you so much for capturing all the amazing details from our wedding day!
We knew that wedding photos were one of the most important elements for us because they are a beautiful, lasting way to remember the day. We are so happy we reached out to Maria, a...
nd that she was available for our celebration. Working with her was one of the best parts of the entire wedding process. Not only is she an incredibly talented and professional photographer, but she also manages all the details to perfection and goes every extra mile possible. We already knew when the day was over that we would adore the photos, and now that we have them, we love them even more than we thought possible.
We hired Maria and Illia for our wedding photos in July 2019. From the very beginning I was impressed with the communication and planning that went into our special day. The guys a...
re a fantastic team!! They made us feel very comfortable and relaxed throughout our 2 hour photo session. All we had to do is walk outside our hotel and the rest was in their hands. We just went along for the ride and they took us to several spots to capture the moment. We couldn’t have asked for better photos! I would highly recommend the Grand Wedding Production!
If you're looking for an amazing and one of a kind photographer, then the Grand Wedding Production is who you want to hire for that one of a lifetime special moment.
Alex shot our ...
wedding just a few weeks ago and we couldn't be more happy. Our wedding pictures turned out even better than we could have imagined. Alex is an incredibly talented photographer who produces beautiful work, He is also creative and has great suggestions for shots. He is very personable and professional.
I would highly recommend working with the Grand Wedding!!!!!!!!!!
Highly recommended the Grand wedding photographer. We knew we wanted this professional photographer as soon as we saw the portfolio. The photos were so uniquely ours, every aspect ...
of the wedding was captured to the detail. Thank you can`t express how we both feel about our wedding photos! You guys were so much fun and so professional. Our day was perfect! Thank you again, we have been referring you to every friend around!
Maria is amazing. She is so down to earth and easy to get along with. She made sure I was at ease every step of the way, especially during the trying times of Covid, she made herse...
lf available by phone and email and was always quick to respond anytime I reached out. She was a huge help when it came to my big day and really keeps you on track throughout the entire process to ensure that you truly get everything you want photographed (she didn't miss a single thing and I got so much more in return😍). I did both engagement and wedding photos with her and I could not have been happier! Not only did I receive my photos quicker than anticipated, but the quality of her photos are wonderful, and she captured such beautiful portraits, details and candids that I will cherish for a lifetime. I literally cannot stop looking at my wedding album, it is like reliving the day all over again! I am still blown away by how perfect everything turned out. Thank you so much for everything! ❤
We can’t thank the Grand Wedding enough for helping us relive and cherish our favorite moments from the wedding through their amazing work! The team was extremely professional, eas...
y to reach, and offered great suggestions/ideas from start to finish during our wedding day. They made sure to capture every moment that was important to my wife, me and our families throughout the whole entire day from start to finish. My wife was so relieved and happy knowing that our photographer Maria was there during our wedding day because of how amazing her work is. You can tell Maria is passionate about her work, and wants every shot to be better than her last.
We are thrilled with our wedding photos, and enjoyed working with Kate at the Grand Wedding very much. She is very professional and the photos are excellent.
Maria did a phenomenal job stepping in fairly late in the game in our planning process due to our original photog's illness and still managing to adapt her style to ours seamlessly...
. She was responsive to our very particular needs, easy to work with, and very timely with delivery. We really wanted her to focus on spontaneous, candid shots and boy did she deliver! I don't know how she managed to take photos of all the important and sweet moments while remaining largely unseen and yet everywhere at once: she must be a ninja :) And most importantly: the final product was beautiful and reflected the feel of the event so much that I keep going through the photos over and over to relive the day.
My husband and I were very happy with the Grand Wedding. There is no denying, that the quality of their photos is HIGH. Their photographers and videographers are definitely talente...
d and hard working in their field. We were very pleased with Mary (lead photographer), Iliia (videographer) and Alex(associate photographer). Illia was actually our favorite. Super cool guy, made everything so fun and laid back.. which complemented Alex very well who was serious and calculated.. zoned in on conducting many pictures in a short period of time which was great.
Maria from the Grand Wedding is the best photographer I've seen or worked with, and an absolute delight as a person. She shows how experience and expertise make getting a photograp...
her important to remember your important date, and that it's not the same to ask a family member to walk around with a camera. Maria assertively guides the shots, which is nice given all the planning we've already done leading up to the event. She has an eye for the right spots to be at and the angles to shoot from. After looking through pics, especially during the dancing, I'm amazed I didn't notice Maria given how up close and candid the shots were.
Maria goes beyond her amazing camera skills by offering to keep track of the schedule, and she even brought the couple a plate of food out of worry we wouldn't eat! You will be happy to work with her, I would recommend her to any event and any budget.
We had such a great experience working with Kate! It felt like we were walking around town with an old friend, and she helped to make me and my fiancé feel so relaxed during our en...
gagement photoshoot. The pictures came out better than we could have ever imagined! We were so pleased with our experience, and would highly recommend the Grand Wedding to anyone looking for a photographer.
I really don't know how to express how impressed we are with Maria. As soon as my friends saw the pictures she took of my engagement, I started getting the most gushing responses. ...
"These are the best photos ever taken" and "they are the greatest pics of all time ever" were two texts I received almost immediately. She takes beautiful posed shots, but even more impressive are her candids and ability to capture emotions. Somehow you feel like you're watching a movie just looking at her still photos. My older sister used Maria for her wedding, and then my next sister did too....I am so happy we found her and are all continuing to benefit from it. It doesn't hurt that she is an absolutely joy to be around. : ) I will sing her praises far and wide to anyone I can!!
I have nothing negative to say! They were absolutely perfect. They responded to me quickly when I had questions. They arrived on time and were very enthusiastic. They were patient ...
with our large party. They understood our vision and delivered amazing photos. They even gave us a personalized flash-drive. Thank you so much the Grand Wedding Production!
I was looking for a photographer/videographer for my wedding day that would capture the real side of me and my husband. My husband and I are huge goofballs and love having fun toge...
ther and the Grand Wedding captured that COMPLETELY. Not only do these guys produce amazing photos and video, but they themselves are GEMS. They are very easy to work with. They also got our photos/video back in a very timely manner (most photographers have 4-6 month turnaround, while theirs is about 2 months).
If you're looking for high quality I can promise you you won't find anyone else for their price, you should seriously see their equipment.
Something else they do that I've never seen anyone else do is they film your whole wedding day, and not only give you a highlight video, but they also film and edit your entire wedding day so you can look back and actually relive the whole thing. Very grateful!
The Grand Wedding was so great to work with on every shoot. Kate and Illia were flexible and made life easy while with planning a wedding from out of state and they took care of ev...
ery photo/video need that occurred. They allowed us to schedule photo sessions when it worked for us and our travel plans. There were so many beautiful pictures to choose from after each session! The printed pictures and canvases were absolutely stunning! The videography/photography was fantastic. They captured all of the important moments from the ceremony to the reception and were a pleasure to have around us and our guests. Everyone loved the fun photobooth and props that were provided and I loved that we received a copy of each photo strip. So happy with the decision to choose the Grand Wedding for such an important role in our wedding!
Choosing the Grand Wedding photography was hands down the best decision my husband and I made through our wedding planning process. Seriously, what a blessing this team was to us w...
hen we needed it most. Somehow after we met them everything was easier and everything went smoother. Not only do they do amazing photography work but they are amazing to work with as well. Everyone on the team is super friendly and genuine. They were easy to contact and always replied in a very timely manner. Every time we met for something my expectations were exceeded. We couldn’t be happier with our pictures or with how our wedding day went. Planning a wedding is stressful and with the Grand Wedding on our side everything was perfect. On our way to be married my husband and I actually looked at each other knowing the day would be crazy and said “it’s a good thing we have Mary.” I literally can’t say enough good things about our experience. We are just so grateful. Looking back on all of our events and experiences the Grand Wedding is what we will miss the most.
The Grand Wedding was a dream to work with! For many, choosing a photographer for your special day can be extremely stressful. When I saw pics and reviews of the Grand Wedding on T...
he Knot, I just knew immediately they were the ones I would choose to capture some awesome shots. Alex is truly talented the way he captures nature and pays attention to details to get the perfect and imperfect (candid) shot. He explores where you want to take pics ahead of time (engagement shoot), gives you tips, makes you feel at ease and really puts in the thought & creativity to get some incredible shots. From the moment I reached out to them, Alex and Kate were prompt, professional and so kind! They were so extremely easy and enjoyable to work with! In fact, on my wedding day... no one could tell Alex was even there. Both our engagement and wedding day photos were finished very quickly. He took the most amazing shots that my husband and I will treasure forever, in fact we still get compliments on them. We can’t thank them enough and would definitely use again in the future without a doubt!
We could not have been happier with the Grand Wedding Production’s work for our wedding! The photos came so quickly and were everything that I had wanted. They captured every momen...
t of the wedding and it was so amazing to look through all of the photos from such an important day. There was so much attention to detail, whether it was the lighting, angles, helpful posing, etc. and it definitely shows! We have been receiving so many compliments from everyone on the amazing quality photos, and they are definitely some shots that will be framed in our home for years to come. We are beyond happy with the results!
We loved working with Mary! She took both our engagement and wedding pics and we just love them! We weren't sure what to expect for our engagement pics and were both a bit nervous ...
but Mary made it so comfortable and easy and we ended up having such a fun time. On our wedding day she did such a great job capturing the details of the day in such beautiful images. Hiring a great photographer was a high priority for us and we feel so fortunate that we got to work with Mary. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Their team was sooo amazing during the planning process but also on the wedding day. The planning process was made so easy and fun! The wedding day came and they were so friendly a...
nd walked us through everything if they wanted a specific shot. Once we got our wedding video back, I felt like I was reliving the day. I can't tell you how many times I have seen it already!! I also got all the raw footage taken that day, a 1 minute length video for social media and everyone on a flash drive delivered to my home. 10/10 would recommend!! Thank you for everything!!
We hired Maria and her team after reading reviews, and having a telephone call with her. We married in Miami but live/planned the wedding from another state. Maria was so easy to w...
ork with and left us feeling very confident in our choice. She arrived with her team promptly at the wedding, captured all of the shots we could have hoped for, and brought an energy and spirit that left us feeling calm and at ease. Maria has such a fun personality! Our photos arrived about 6 weeks after our wedding and we absolutely love them! I absolutely recommend speaking with Maria and choosing her team!
Mary gets 5 stars! Her entire process is completely one on one personalized! She asked us where we wanted to go, and what we wanted to do during our shoot. She also drove us to the...
location because we were out of town and on a tight schedule. And she delivered the photos immediately to us completely edited! I could not ask for a better experience from a photographer !
We hired Kate as our wedding photographer and the photographer for our engagement pictures. We had our engagement session and it went great. My fiancé isn't good with taking pictur...
es, but Kate calmed him down and actually got him into it. When we got our pictures back, I must admit that I didn't like some of the editing details. I let her know this and she immediately re-edited them. She went out of her way to make the edits how I wanted and make me happy. Plus, she did it very quickly. This is what sets her apart, in my opinion, she wants you to love your photos. Now I do and couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Kate and the Grand Wedding Production.
We used the Grand Wedding for our photography in our wedding August 2020. They were so helpful along the way with every question and inquiry we had through the whole planning proce...
ss. Our photographer was so helpful with making sure we were comfortable, having fun and captured every angle and shot we requested. It hardly felt like work, she was so easy. The quality of our pictures were superb and the price just couldn’t be beat. We would highly recommend!
We were very pleased to work with Mary on our engagement and wedding sessions. We got so many compliments from both families and guests. Even some guests said they enjoyed Mary’s e...
nthusiasm in directing them for photos' poses. We knew that we are in the good hands for our wedding photos from the start. When we met on our initial meeting, we could tell that Mary is very artistic and energetic. She told us where and how she wanted to do the wedding photos before she went to the venue. She only saw the venue photos and it would be her first time to do the photo shoot there. That really sold for me!
We will definitely ask Mary to take our family photo sometimes in the future.
We had a non traditional wedding and Maria was incredible at getting to know us and understanding our vision. She was extremely flexible about setting up an entirely different day ...
of photo shoot so we could focus on photos one day and the actual ceremony and reception another day. She is a true creative — obsessive (in a good way) about finding cool new ways to tell a story visually. At the same time, she was very open to our collaboration and ideas.
Alex was awesome throughout the entire process. He explained the process and his services clearly, was prompt and professional to communicate with, and was great day-of. We were no...
t very organized with our first look photos and Alex wasn't phased. He directed us on what he thought would make the best shots and took direction from family members (ahem, our parents) all in stride. We LOVE our photos! We'll be recommending the Grand Wedding to any friends who need a professional photographer.
Wow, I was truly blown away with the Grand Wedding Production in so many ways. When an unexpected change in our wedding occurred, our wedding coordinator worked with us to adjust ...
our package. They were amazing and thoughtful. Our photographer, Mary, was so amazing as well! She was fun, creative and so easy to work with. Loved every minute of working with the Grand Wedding.
