Kate Grace Photography

Washington, DC
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,500

Hi! I'm Katie, an East Coast & Destination Wedding Photographer, based in Washington D.C. After taking a high-school photography class–it quickly became clear that I loved the art of photography. Soon after graduating, I was offered an internship position near Chicago that allowed me to continue to dive into the world of studio lighting, image editing, and commercial photography; continuing to hone on the technical skills that often get left behind when you have the digital screen to instantly see your work. A few years later, I photographed a friends wedding and it became crystal clear that this was exactly what I wanted to pursue.

Oh my goodness! Kate Grace is the best wedding photographer in the game. I am SO glad we snagged her to photograph our wedding. Throughout the entire process from booking to engagement shoot to COVID-19 wedding planning - Kate was there for us each step of the way. On my wedding day I was barely stressed because I knew Kate would capture every moment perfectly. She took every shot (and then some!!!) on my shot list and delivered THE MOST BEAUTIFUL gallery. Kate even worked with our videographer and sent them pictures for our wedding video. Kate is INCREDIBLE. Hire her. You WILL NOT regret it. As long as we are in the DC area, Kate is our photographer.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Oury Memories provided fantastic wedding photography for our special day. Grace was extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the planning process, taking time to understand our vision and priorities for capturing the event. On the wedding day itself, Grace and her team went above and beyond to get creative shots, even climbing on chairs and furniture 7 months pregnant! We're so grateful we chose Oury Memories to document memories we'll treasure forever.

HI, I AM FARISS the photographer, Speaks 4 languages (English, French, Arabic, and a little Spanish), the guy behind Fariss Photography. Based in Fairfax County VA, work in the DMV Area -- DC, Virginia, Maryland. I have a passion for taking beautiful, natural, professional photos, and enjoy helping people look their best in front of the camera, capturing that perfect, special moment, and creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

Fariss is honestly the most easy going photographer I have dealt with. He makes the whole process so easy and natural even for those who are usually uncomfortable taking pictures. He fully respects the special moments and does a great job getting candid shots without getting in your way. At the same time he is super knowledgeable about helping you pose correctly afterwards. He captured some of the most unique shots I have seen and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We would recommend Farris to anyone looking to take pictures of the special moments in their lives

The pictures were absolutely amazing too as she toured us around the Basin after the proposal.

There's a feeling you get when someone you love smiles, when they laugh, when they take your hand in theirs. Those feelings are what I seek to capture. I combine the physical beauty of a moment with candid emotions to create heart-warming images that bring you back into the moment all over again.

Audrey was a dream photographer to have at our wedding! In addition to being so personable and having such a wonderful personality, she's an extremely talented artist!! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she really captures the moment. Looking through my photos I feel the excitement of that day! She is so sweet and made everyone feel so comfortable taking photos that the time flew by. I also felt like she was everywhere capturing all our moments -- I don't know how she did it all! We also received a lot of compliments about Audrey and how wonderful she is. Would definitely love getting to work with Audrey again.

If I had to describe myself in five words it would be: food, exercise, animals, travel, and art (not in any specific order). You know you have found the right career when you can honestly say you do it for the passion, for the excitement, and for the love of documenting someone’s precious memories. Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have been photographing weddings in the DMV for the past eleven years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Cicely and Jason enough. They were communicative, collaborative, and just genuinely great people. They were really open to trying out anything that we really wanted to do and brought plenty of experience and helpful ideas to the table from the start. Their ability to capture the tiny details and a much broader sweeping view of our day really was the sell for us. And they weren't afraid to really get into the middle of a rager and capture moments you'd have never known about otherwise. Photography is so embedded in capturing your day that having creative people you really enjoy working with is critical. Years later, Cicely and I still message each other to check in. I genuinely can't express how great getting to know and work with them was for us. Cheers.

Til Death Media

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Washington, DC

I am passionate about capturing each couples unique story and their one-of-a-kind love. We are a husband and wife team plus our best man! When Jeremiah and I got engaged and started planning our wedding, the search for a photographer & videographer was a grueling tasks. I kept saying, “If ONLY Jeremiah & En could capture our wedding,” but that was totally unfeasible be as one is the groom & the other the best man. Then the light bulb went off & Til Death Media was born!

I will forever recommend Till Death Media! Kira helped me out of a bind when my photographer backed out less than 2 weeks before my wedding. Even though TDM wasn't able to photograph my wedding on such short notice, Kira spent hours searching for and interviewing local photographers on our behalf, eventually finding someone who was both a perfect match and well within our budget. Kira helped us edit and finalize our itinerary, organize which photographs we wanted taken, and even helped us pinpoint exactly what kind of editing style we wanted done - all things that I should've had sorted out with my previous photographer, but I was unaware of due to poor communication. When she stepped in, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I don't think I could've been happier with our wedding or our photographer. :) I 100% recommend Kira and TDM!

  • Serves Washington, DC

My name is Rebecca, but some call me Becks. I'll let you decide which one to call me! I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer based out of Alexandria, VA, but I am ALWAYS looking for an excuse to travel. I'm inspired by human connections, love and friendships. I live for adventure, goofiness and optimism. When I’m not working, I can be found working out with my husband, traveling or at a grocery store/farmers market. Dark chocolate, workout clothes, ice cream, sushi and vegetables are a few of my favorite things.

We cannot recommend Rebecca enough. Aside from the absolutely stunning photos she took, she was a wonderful, positive force of energy to have around. She was also very calming especially when things got hectic with our zoom connection and instructed us to take deep breaths so as not to look tense in the photos. We never had a photoshoot done before but we instantly felt comfortable being candid with her. She knew exactly how to guide us through various poses and also listened to all our requests ex. close ups of the bouquet, of our rings, etc. It was small things like carrying my bag from location to location, making sure I was comfortable in my heels, and telling us to dab our sweat (humid August day!) that really made working with her a true pleasure. She definitely exceeded our expectations and we will never stop recommending her. Thank you, Rebecca!

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma is literally the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and my pictures came out so well! I’m plus size girls, so I felt very nervous about getting my pictures taken. She made me feel so confident and so loved in such a small amount of time. The photos are breathtaking and she is willing to do anything to get the perfect shot! You need her if you want the best photos!!

I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress.
