About Shades of Gray Photography

Ryan H Gray

Lead Photographer

My business is a full service photography company specializing in weddings, lifestyle photography, special events and occasions. Ever the perfectionist, I make a considerable effort in every wedding collection to ensure the highest quality result. DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS? Yes! I go wherever love takes me! In fact, I am covering airfare for all weddings at this time. Lodging, baggage claim fees, and taxis/ride shares are not included.

A mix of traditional and modern, my photography strives to tell a story that best represents you. With more than 10 years of experience in visual arts and media, I pivot my masterful process to more personal photographic areas - incorporating a documentary of natural moments and a fine arts approach to my wedding photography. Transcending into "art for art's sake, my diverse background affords every effort to define the moments of your life to a quality not often seen.

    Ryan was the most professional and helpful person during our entire wedding process. He also took our engement photos. All of the photos turned out so immaculate it's hard to even put into words. What I was most impressed with though, is how in depth and thorough he was during the planning process. He really doesn't want to miss anything. It's the attention to detail that makes him such a great photographer. I Can't reccomond him more!

  • Ryan was a gem to work with!

    From the start Ryan was a professional artist who really thought through all the details and components of our unique venue. He allowed himself extra time on the wedding day to confirm final layout for a ceremony in a wide open field taking sunset, backdrop and shadows all into consideration. And he bounced around during the reception to be sure he wasn't missing any special moments. He was such a pleasure to work with and I give him high praises and the biggest recommendation.

  • GREAT experience!

    I had the recent pleasure of working with Ryan on a mutual client's wedding. He was extremely easy to work with, very flexible and communicative. And the results were astounding. He has a great eye and really captures the essence of the event. I can't wait to work with him again.

  • BOOK HIM NOW!! Wonderful experience over all !

    BOOK HIM NOW!! If Ryan is available for your wedding or event date, book him immediately!!! My husband and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary last week and people are still are giving us complements on our wedding photos a year later! We live in Dallas and had a small intimate wedding in New Orleans and from our first consultation call to the big day, he was so thoughtful and intentional on understanding us as a couple and how we wanted our wedding day captured. He even visited our venues a week beforehand to scope out the area and made creative suggestions on where we could get the best shots that represented us as couple. As a bride planning from a different city, this was so helpful and made our day go so seamlessly! He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and suggested poses as we never know what to do with our hands or how to pose. Ryan was very communicative leading up to our wedding with emails and check ins and a final confirmation call to run through everything the week before . He sent us updates right after so we had clear expectations on when we would receive our pictures. Plus just an over all very nice person and human! Now to the pictures…THEY ARE AMAZING!! I don’t know how many people have told me they look like they are out of magazine and that is all because Ryan is a true artist who takes his craft very seriously! If you get the chance to work with Ryan you will not regret it!
