Victoria Grace Photography 

5.0

Waynesville, NC
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

It's weird describing the "me behind the camera" but I'll start with the fact I'm the mother of two of the cutest identical twin girls you've ever seen. This business allows me to spend most of my time with them and even some of my work time and for that I am forever thankful. While finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Middle Grades Education at Western Carolina University photography sort of just happened. By the time I graduated I knew that photography was what I wanted to do full time. I shot a wedding the day I was supposed to walk the stage at graduation and I've been chasing light with some of the sweetest couples in the world ever since.

Victoria is truly an incredible photographer, but she is an even more incredible person. When COVID-19 shut down the country, we decided to move our wedding date earlier (from December to October) to try and avoid a second, more severe, wave of the virus and hopefully have everyone we love in attendance. She was able to move to our new date, and she worked with us to reschedule engagement pictures twice when there was a concern about possible exposure. She not only goes above and beyond in her business and is flexible and punctual, but she also goes above and beyond to help her clients with whatever they need. She helped me, the stressed-out bride, calm down by helping create a wedding-day timeline that I sent out to the wedding party, the director, and vendors; that timeline saved us so much time and kept us on track and low-stress on the day of the wedding. I made a mistake and did not communicate the correct address of the wedding venue to her, and she still got to the correct venue early, helped organize us, got all the pictures we wanted, and even made my husband's boutonniere when the florist accidentally did not include his. I cannot stress enough how amazing Victoria is: the whole process of working with her was seamless, she is so personable and puts people at ease (my husband is not comfortable in front of a camera, and she relaxed him with laughter and caught his true nature in a gorgeous style), and she made a very stressful time much less stressful by being super supportive of us and going above and beyond what is required of her. Our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, and our wedding pictures were all beautiful, and she had them all edited and back to us in record time. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further: Victoria Grace Photography is the only way to go!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

I cannot recommend Drzazga Photo enough! When we first met Carly we knew right away she would be so easy to work with, make us feel at ease, and take some really incredible pictures- all of which she went above and beyond to make come true during both our engagement and wedding photos. Communication was always clear and quick, offering us recommendations for other vendors or photo locations, her and Kasey even came to our rehearsal just so they were prepared for the next day. Even a year and a half later I still look through our photos and find a new “favorite one” each time, they’re just that good! We also decided to add on their Videography service closer to our wedding and I’m so so glad we did that. There’s something really special about being able to really hear and see to remember the day. Kasey’s editing was fantastic, he created one of my favorite things to come out of our wedding. Drzazga is definitely the best and will only make your wedding better, easier, and less stressful!

Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

Ask anyone who knows us, and they'll tell you both my husband and I would rather be behind the camera than in front of it. That being said, Michelle cracked our shells and made us really love being center stage for our wedding day! She made everyone feel so at ease by helped us all shake out the jitters and just have fun. Careful though, Michelle is also hilarious and will have you cracking up in a heartbeat which makes for some of THE BEST candids. I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Michelle Evans is an absolute gem who has kept me sane and confident through the whole process of marrying my best friend. She's very conscious of helping everyone to remember to take a breath and remember this is one of the best days (especially during a pandemic!), and she was truly able to capture the magic of our day. P.S. She is a master magician of improv for small details like making missing pocket squares reappear!

I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!
