Grace Elizabeth

Grace is such a dream to work with! She is so friendly & warm! She was so relaxed in her approach, but clearly on top of everything she had to do, seamlessly making her way around to get all of the images you want to remember the day. The images she produced perfectly captured the joy & fun of our wedding, as well as all of the wonderful personalities of all of our guests. We love that the photos are not overly posed or staged, she let us just be completely ourselves and was able to capture all of the real moments — which is exactly what we wanted! Grace is professional, personable, prompt & simply phenomenal!!

I can't recommend Grace highly enough – it's quite hard to get across in such a small review how good your photographer is, and having read through so many reviews ourselves when picking Grace, we know how difficult it is to distinguish between photographers. Let us make it easier – check if Grace is available first – then read through other reviews if she isn't! Grace is not only a hugely talented photographer, she's a genuine, kind hearted person with a passion for her work that comes through in each of her photos. Looking for a wedding photographer was a daunting process, we'd agreed that photographs were one of the most important parts of our wedding as we had friends and family travelling in from all over and we wanted to capture what we hoped would be an amazing day with them all. After perusing Grace's website she instantly went to the top of our list and we were so pleased when she confirmed she was available. All of the communications we had with Grace were relaxed and informal which helped us to build up a good rapport with her before we even met in person and this was solidified when we met for our Engagement shoot. After a few shots in front of the Brighton Pier and on the pebble beach, we knew that we had found a gem when Grace tentatively suggested taking photos on some of the pier's rides – cue a hilarious 10 minutes on the merry-go-round and some brilliantly colourful snaps. We weren't quite brave enough to take on the Log Flume though! On the big day, Grace was a joy to work with, coming to the fore when needed for group shots and merging into the background when appropriate to take candid photos of the quiet moments between the guests and us. As with any Wedding Day there was lots of emotion and Grace really captured this perfectly. She stayed around for the dance floor moments too which we thoroughly recommend doing – there are some fantastic shots of this time! Looking back through our wedding photos we can really feel the story of our day and this is all down to Grace's intuition and talent. Thank you Grace for all your hard work in the build up to our Wedding and on the day and obviously for the incredible photos you took – something we will cherish for a lifetime.

Grace Elizabeth was one of my non-negotiables when it came to our wedding. I stumbled across her pictures on Instagram and from that moment I knew that was exactly how I wanted our day to be captured. She has some serious talent not only with taking amazing photos but making you feel so comfortable and that, I believe, is how she is able to produce her outstanding pictures. On the wedding day itself I felt like I had my friend with me getting ready and she was a really calming presence for me. I watched her as she got all my items together for a photo and said to her "I wish people could see all the work you put into taking these". So many of our guests said how much they loved Grace, that she wasn't pushy and always having a camera in your face. Some of our favourite photos are where people are unaware it's been taken. She can see the little moments just as much as the big ones. So if you are thinking of using Grace as your photographer, just do it. It was the best decision we made and now have the best, timeless, real photographs to remember our day forever. Thank you for being such an important part of our day Grace. Mr and Mrs Smiley xx

I am honestly struggling to find the words to properly convey how amazing Grace has been through our wedding journey. Like so many couples we postponed our wedding from 2020 and Grace handled our to-and-fro on dates with patience and positivity. She was always on hand to offer advice ahead of the day and I've lost track of the number of hilariously rambling voice notes we sent each other because I was too busy with work (and general lack of organisation) to sort a proper catch up in working hours, another thing Grace took in her stride like an absolute champ. From a last minute shoot with my parents last year, to our engagement shoot in April, to the actual wedding this weekend, Grace has been an absolute dream to work with and has become a true friend over the last few years. Neither of us is really comfortable with having our photo taken but Grace has this amazing way of putting everyone at ease which, judging by our preview photos (delivered in less than 24h!) gives stunning results. We've had so many comments from friends and family about how lovely and professional Grace was for the wedding and we cannot wait to see all the rest of the photos from the day. If anyone is in any doubt about whether they should book Grace, shove that doubt right out of your mind. Getting Grace involved was worth every single penny and we cannot recommend her highly enough, I'm sure she'll be totally booked up in Devon in no time, so get in there quickly! Thank you Grace, thank you, thank you, thank you! Sophie and Jamie x

I’m currently crying looking through all these incredible pictures, they are just everything and more. We are so lucky to have met such a wonderful human like you! You walked into our wedding day with the biggest smile and kindest heart. We really couldn’t have asked for any more. You basically became family! Everyone said how amazing you were and what a fab job you did. We massively appreciate everything you have done for us! Grace, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing the most gorgeous pictures and being the lushest human! We love you so much!
