The Wedding Experience

Your wedding day will be one of the best days of your life as you make a joyful covenant with the one you love. 

My role is to capture your special moments so you can enjoy them for the rest of your life and share them with generations to come. The couples I work with become our friends through the process of the engagement session and wedding day as we celebrate their marriage. After the wedding, the photos and memories will be a keepsake of your special day. The investment you make in your photographer will direct the preparation of your wedding, ceremony and reception. I look forward to getting to know you and learning more about your unique love story and the wedding you have in mind!

I am a wedding photographer based in North Carolina and love capturing beauty & joy.  

My husband Kevin and I live in Cary, about 20 minutes outside of Raleigh, with our three kids Payton, Hallie, and Grayson! When I am not shooting weddings or families I am either cuddling with Kevin and the kids watching Netflix, working out on the Peloton, spending time with friends and family, or dreaming of our next beach trip. I am a lover of light and beauty, capturing timeless moments that will last for generations. 

Before deciding to make photography my full-time business 10 years ago, I worked as a graphic and web designer, and I bring my expertise in design to every shoot. Working in the design industry for four years has given me a unique understanding of photo composition and how to optimize each image during the editing process. I have a deep passion for photography and capturing significant relationships and moments in time. 

I am excited to get to know you and discuss the possibility of capturing memories on your wedding day!

The beautiful album! it is the perfect presentation to showcase the story of your wedding. The album is 10"x10" and can be up to 20 spreads (40 pages) of your favorite images. The images are printed high-quality on thick pages that will last for a lifetime.

We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our fabulous clients. We are thankful to be a part of each of their stories and capture moments on the wedding day! 

Caroline & Stephen

“Where do I even start!? I cannot say enough wonderful things about Anna Grace. From the very beginning, Anna Grace was SO responsive. From the moment we met Anna Grace at our engagement shoot, she instantly made us feel comfortable and we felt like we’ve known her for years! Leading up to the wedding, Anna Grace put together a thorough Wedding Day timeline based on a questionnaire we filled out, which was super helpful to stay on schedule while taking all the magical photos with the family/friend groupings we wanted! Anna Grace and her second shooter were the perfect duo - it was super convenient to have Anna Grace take photos of my bridesmaids, the moms, and I getting ready, while her second shooter was taking photos of the groom and groomsmen. Not to mention, ALL of their photos are INCREDIBLE!!! Truly everything I could’ve ever wanted and MORE. Anna Grace photographed both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. I love the light and airy feeling on their photos, it is the perfect wedding “vibe.” Anna Grace is so amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Brad & Emily

“Anna Grace was responsive and flexible with us from the beginning and helped us put together a thorough timeline and itinerary for our wedding day. She was so patient with our large wedding party & family while we were doing formal photos and still managed to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted. She was so kind and professional with us and our guests. She has the eye for what will look great in a photo and her pictures speak for themselves. We loved the light & airy feel of both our engagement and wedding pictures, and she got them edited and over to us so quickly after our big day which we greatly appreciated! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we will cherish our photos forever!” 

Camden & Mary Todd

“We are absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure our special day was captured perfectly. Her dedication to making us feel comfortable and at ease was evident throughout the entire process. One of her standout qualities was her remarkable attention to detail. She captured natural, organic moments between our family and friends with an artist’s eye. During the formal ceremony, she managed to be virtually invisible, yet still managed to snap the most breathtaking images that perfectly encapsulated the emotions of the day. Her direction and support were so genuine and down-to-earth, providing more than just a professional service. We were particularly impressed with how she captured the love between my husband and me in such an authentic way. It was clear that Anna Grace was deeply invested in making sure every moment was captured just right. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience Anna Grace provided!””

THE SAMPLE TIMELINE

Three months before the wedding, I will email you a questionnaire to complete that will provide details I will need such as location, timeframe, and reception event details. After I receive your response, I will put together a customized timeline based on first-look, timing of ceremony, family portrait combinations, and other details that are unique to your ceremony.

We will work together so that you won’t have to worry about anything on your special day. Your only job on the wedding day is to have an amazing time celebrating with friends and family! We will have your timeline with us on your wedding day and will reference it throughout your ceremony and reception.
