Wedding

Grace was very nice and respectful from the beginning. Whatever we asked of her she provided and went above and beyond. The nice thing about what she did straight from the beginning was how she wanted to meet us and get to know our back story and just who we are as individuals and as a couple. She provided excellent photos that did tell a story behind every photo. I highly recommend Grace to anyone out there who wants amazing shots of your wedding, parties, special events. Just book her and you won’t regret it

Grace was amazing in making our engagement shoot vision come to life! My fiancé and I really valued her commitment and attention to detail throughout the whole process which lifted a huge weight off our busy shoulders. She is also such a personable professional and we appreciated how kind, funny and understanding she was especially for couples who have a billion things to do before the big day. Absolutely loved our photos!

Grace was absolutely amazing! Her prices were reasonable and her level of professionalism was unmatched, especially as things went a bit haywire with the surprise proposal I had planned. Through it all she was clear, responsive, and incredibly helpful, and my fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!

My fiancé and I had such an amazing session with Grace! Captured amazing engagement photos for us and would definitely book with her again! We got our sneak peeks back after 1 day and the whole gallery very soon after! Grace made us feel so comfortable and helped us with posing. We had such a great time!

Portrait session

10/10. Elite photographer experience. Grace was a supreme and efficient professional. I was stunned by the artistic ideas she had. She scouted ahead of time and planned so well. I seriously recommend getting a professional portrait and headshot by her or any event or modeling shots with her. She gave me posing advice she utilized herself and knew how to hit the angles and lighting and compositions just right and very quickly. She was so responsive and followup with the final product so swiftly. Super grateful for her work. It far exceeded what I outlined for her.

Grace is an amazing photographer. I’m camera shy but she knew exactly how to guide me and made the whole experience feel so comfortable and natural. She’s so easy to talk to and really knows how to bring out the best in people. The photos turned out beautiful, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I can’t recommend her enough!

Taken By Grace Photography took our engagement pictures, and it was a wonderful experience! She was kind, patient, and made us feel comfortable because we don’t know how to pose. She was attentive and knew our angles! She had amazing ideas and also left room for us to have input. I recommend Grace!:) you will not be disappointed! You can tell she really cares about the end product to meet your expectations. ♥️

Couples + bachelorette sessions

I loved working with Grace on a few occasions now in NYC — the first was taking holiday photos with my boyfriend (now husband!!) and for my bachelorette! What I so appreciated about Grace was how she suggested various locations for the shoots, adjacent to the areas I had in mind - such a fun way to discover little pockets of the city! She also made everyone feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera - it was so much fun spending the day with her during both shoots! Would highly recommend working with her to capture different life moments, big or small. Thank you, Grace!

Couples session

If you’re in NY/NJ and want to create truly special memories with your loved ones, I highly recommend a photoshoot with Grace! We honestly didn’t expect to do a photoshoot while we were in New York, so we didn’t prepare much and were both pretty nervous—but Grace made everything feel so easy and natural from the start. When I showed her a few reference photos and explained the vibe I was going for, she immediately understood and knew exactly how to bring it to life. Our shoot also happened to be on a freezing cold day, but she truly went above and beyond the whole time. Grace is incredibly creative and genuinely cares about capturing real, loving moments. I don’t normally do photoshoots so had very low expectations going into the shoot, but the photos turned out so beautiful—honestly more than I could have ever asked for. All of my friends absolutely loved them!! :) thank you so much again Grace!!!!

Engagement session

If you’re a bride looking for a photographer who will truly capture the feeling of your wedding day, Grace is the one. Working with her was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She is professional, extremely timely, and so easy to communicate with which honestly makes such a difference during wedding planning. We booked her for our engagement shoot and it was such an amazing experience. Grace is extremely friendly, lighthearted, and genuinely so funny which instantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. The whole session felt fun and effortless, and she brought such positive energy the entire time. Grace has an incredible eye for photography and the way she captures special moments is something you can’t teach. It’s pure talent and experience. You can tell she’s been doing this for a long time because she knows exactly how to guide you, find the best lighting, and make every shot feel natural and beautiful. She also shoots with many different lenses which made our gallery feel so dynamic and intentional, and she even offers drone shots, which add such a breathtaking perspective. What I love most is how creative and versatile she is. Grace can do everything from classic, traditional portraits to stunning landscapes and editorial-style shots light and airy, high contrast, and everything in between. She really knows how to tailor her photography to the exact style you’re envisioning, and she executes it flawlessly. She’s also super flexible and open to travel, and it shows because she has captured gorgeous images all over the world. That travel experience gives her such a unique artistic touch and ability to photograph scenic backdrops in a really elevated way. Grace offers engagement shoots, weddings, and special events, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She made this experience so special for us, and we’ll treasure these photos forever. Book her if you can you will be SO happy you did.
