Truly amazing photography team!

Deb & Grant are an amazing duo. They complement each other well and cover the full spectrum to ensure they get detailed close up shots to wide-angled scenic shots and everything in between. Our photos came out so much better than we even hoped they would. Deb & Grant captured who we are in all the different phases of the day and we repeatedly were in awe at how perfect the pictures were. They got the right angles, lighting, expressions--everything! Deb & Grant were a joy to work with throughout the process and we are so overjoyed that we hired them. These pictures are not only incredible, but they are truly priceless!

Absolute AMAZING team

My husband and I still can't believe how lucky we were to have Grant and Deb capture our big day. These two are both so talented and we LOVE our wedding photos. So many people have commented on what a fantastic job they did, and I can't count the number of times I've cried (and my mom and mother-in-law) looking back through the photos from our wedding. Grant and Deb captured EVERYTHING: the small details, the flow of the day, all of our family and friends, and the special moments between my husband and me. They were so easy to work with, organized, eager to communicate, and just genuinely good people to be around. Another thing that I really appreciated was how attuned they were to the guest experience. I have been to so many weddings where the photographer is such a distraction... standing in front of people at the ceremony, not having much situational awareness, etc. Grant and Deb are the complete opposite, yet still managed to get amazing photos of all of the special moments. They also were able to keep us on schedule, despite both of us having large families, so that we could make it to some of our cocktail hour (which was important to us). I cannot give someone a higher recommendation!!

Truly, the best!

Wow! Grant and Deb are absolutely amazing. Our wedding photos were beyond our expectations. The photos were spectacular and captured every moment and more from our amazing day. The turnaround time was great-we had an album with over 650+ images in less than two weeks from our wedding date. Aside from the perfect end product, Grant and Deb were beyond amazing to work with – friendly, funny, professional and true experts. Many of our family and guests have commented on this as well. I HIGHLY recommend working with Grant and Deb, and I can't wait for the next occasion that we can as well! Thank you Grant and Deb – you gave us a gift of reliving our wedding day that we will cherish forever!

Best Photographers in Hampton Roads

Grant and Deb were the perfect photography team for our wedding. After receiving a recommendation from our wedding planner, we contacted them and were invited to their studio to discuss our plans. The moment Grant opened the door and greeted us, we knew we were going to hire this amazing team.

The studio was warm and inviting and Deb brought out fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. We clicked with Grant and Deb from the start and the meeting was more like visiting with friends than choosing our wedding photographers.

We agreed to have Grant and Deb take our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Grant and Deb work so well together. They made the engagement photo session a fun and relaxing event at the Mariner’s Museum Park. Our pictures came out beautifully and we received them soon after the photo session so we could upload our favorites to our wedding website and include them in our wedding invitation suite.

On our wedding day, Grant and Deb came to the bridal suite while I was getting my hair styled. They happened to arrive right at the time I was having a bridezilla moment because my hair was not cooperating with my stylist. Grant and Deb were so sweet. They saw that I was in distress and quietly took pictures of my dress and accessories while the stylist and makeup artist solved the mystery of my hair. I included this part of our wedding day in this review to provide an example of how Grant and Deb effortlessly worked through a tense situation.

The “first look”, ceremony and reception were a whirlwind of activity. We put our complete trust in Grant and Deb. With our photo request list and a schedule of events from the wedding planner, they were on top of the event from start to finish. It was a magical day and they captured every moment and every detail. The pictures are breathtaking.

We highly recommend Grant and Deb. You will not be disappointed. They are an amazing team!

More than Photographers!

We simply had the best experience with Grant & Deb. They were amazing in our preparations, amazing during our wedding and most importantly, amazing photographers. I think we were most surprised by how much they kept us smiling, laughing, calm and moving during our wedding. We had the time of our lives at our wedding, it was absolutely unforgettable and our pictures show that. We LOVE Grant & Deb.

High fives! High fives!

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT GRANT & DEB! They were with us from our engagement, engagement pictures, and to our best day ever. We absolutely adore Grant & Deb. They’ll keep you laughing & smiling through your entire day. Grant & Deb have electric personalities that just radiate warmness - you honestly can’t help but to feel like you’ve known them forever! Not to mention the PHOTOGRAPHS are absolutely positively stunning. Our day was not an easy day for a vendor or a bride! It was about 5 million degrees, 100% humidity, and then hurrican winds and storms hit. Grant & Deb kept me smiling & calm. They weren’t afraid to roll their sleeves up and help make sure our big day happened and happened perfectly. I cant thank them enough or sing them enough praise! Grant & Deb Photography is one of a kind and world class.

Grant and Deb are the best! We used them as our photographers for our engagement session and for our wedding! The photos they take are absolutely stunning! My husband and I fell in love with not only their work but with their personalities as well. We definitely are camera shy but the way Deb and Grant can bring you our of your shell is amazing. They are so friendly and their personalities make you feel at ease with them through the entire process. We received our photos in a very timely manner and were so impressed with how both the engagement photos and wedding photos turned out! The photos were so beautiful! Our hardest decision has been trying to pick out our favorites! I would definitely recommend them as their work is stunning and you will not be disappointed to have the talented couple shoot your dream wedding!

From the day we first met with them, Grant & Deb left no doubt in our minds that we had chosen the best wedding photographers Hampton Roads has to offer. They welcomed us into their breathtaking (but still cozy) home studio with tea, introduced us to their dog, and made planning our wedding photography timeline feel like we were catching up with old friends. Their expertise in the wedding industry was evident, and they were able to connect us with several other vendors in the area who turned out to be wonderful. They were easy to keep in touch with by email or text, and their website was user-friendly and easy to navigate. During our photoshoots, they put us at ease immediately and kept us laughing through the longer sessions. Some of my favorite photos were candid shots that I didn't remember them shooting! Grant and Deb can truly capture the magic of a single moment in time, and their excitement over the shots they were getting was infectious. Throughout our experience, they were upfront about pricing (we ended up with many, many more high-quality photos than are guaranteed by their contract); we booked about 8 hours of wedding day coverage plus an engagement session with them and it was worth every penny!

Grant and Deb were our first choice for photographers for our wedding, but we were unsure about booking them because they were a little over our budget--but we decided to move our budget around so we could have Grant and Deb and it was SO WORTH IT. Grant and Deb are not only fantastic photographers, but fantastic people. They work great as a team and are a joy to be around. During our engagement shoot, Grant literally gave me the shirt off his back to get the right shot! And they do that for everyone--they bring out the best photos in everyone, are always working to get you a better shot, listen to what you want, and bring your vision to life even more beautiful than you imagined it. The turnaround on our photos was very short, and Grant and Deb communicated very well with us the whole time. If you are on the fence about Grant and Deb--do it! Their presence and photography chops absolutely made our big day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
