It is difficult to find enough words to say how incredible Grace was throughout the whole process of our wedding! She was thoughtful, kind, reassuring and organised, and we felt we were in the best hands from the very first email exchange! She captured our wedding in the most beautiful way, and her ability to put everyone at ease in front of the camera was amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone getting married, she went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable, thank you so, so much Grace! x
Grace and her partner Ijah were our photographer and videographer for our wedding in November 2023. Where do I start! These two were absolutely amazing! So professional from the beginning and communicated with me throughout the journey. They were so lovely on the day and interacted with our guests making everyone feel comfortable behind the camera. They captured all of our favourite moments from our wedding and gave us the most amazing photos and videos within a promised turn around. I could not recommend them more!
"There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are to have found Grace. From our first emails, to meetings and then having her capture are wedding day, I felt like i had known her forever! Her welcoming and calming personality really was so amazing to have round on our wedding day. Can't wait for Grace to capture all of our special moments throughout life!
Grace is everything you would ever want in your wedding photographer. She sees your vision and puts it through effortlessly. I am so happy that we went with Grace, for our most special day. Not only did she capture our magic in such an authentic form, but we also became fast friends and for that I am eternally grateful. There's something so special about having that support and guidance in a friend and creative, and she has got such a fabulous eye for detail! 10/10 would highly recommend xx
