There are not enough wonderful things to say about working with Gray Studios. From the moment we sat down with Michael, everything he was showing us seemed perfect.
Everyone was constantly asking me if I was nervous about the wedding. My reply to all was being nervous about vendors showing up. When I exited the Limo, Steve, the greatest photographer ever, was standing by the entrance of our catering facility. He put my nerves at ease with the big smile he had.
It was amazing how Steve was able to figure out the perfect spot to stand so the sunlight wouldn't ruin the pictures. He was such a pleasure to work with and he made the annoying picture process actually fun.
The best part was that my now husband NEVER smiles in pictures. However, Steve was able to make him smile which made everyone else smile.
Within a week and a half of our wedding, our proofs were available online. Within two and a half weeks, our hard copy proofs were available for pick up. It was such a pleasant surprise upon picking up the proofs that they were placed in a binder, which makes going through them so much easier
Looking at the pictures, they are magnificent. Our parents, who are very hard to please and very critical, absolutely love the pictures as well. The love and joy of the day was definitely captured in the pictures and each time I look through the book I either have the biggest smile on my face, or cry happy tears because of all of the wonderful memories I now have.
My husband and I have stated since our affair that we will NEVER use another photographer other then Gray Studios and of course Steve. Like I said, there are not enough words to describe what a pleasure it was to work with this company. It is clear that they genuinely love what they do and it absolutely shows in their work.

Gray Studios should be the first and last place you go when looking to book photographers for your wedding!! Working with Michael and his staff on our wedding day was an absolute pleasure!! They put everyone at ease and made the entire day stress-free and tons of fun! There are no words great enough to describe how beautiful our album is! The photographers at Gray Studios are all extremely talented, and they did an incredible job at capturing our special day from beginning to end!

Gray is a little pricy, but worth it!
I would definitely recommend Steve to any of my friends. He was nonintrusive, and took beautiful creative pictures. Best of all we weren’t taking pictures forever, we got to enjoy our friends and family at the wedding!
We also used Gray for our video. We pick it up this week, so I’m not sure how it came out yet. I would have preferred the video to be a little more candid…but none the less I’m sure it came out great.

This review was posted last year on an online wedding website- LIWEDDINGS.com. Just copying & pasting. I will also add that over a year later I am thankful for my choice with Gray Studios. My photographer was Prosper and gave me some of the most cherished moments of my life. Before the ceremony Prosper was shooting at my house and captured great photos of me with my family. He positioned me & my father in one photo and told me to kiss him on the cheek. While my father & I had thought it was a bit silly at the time, we saw the photo and loved it. Almost 1 year after my wedding, my father passed away. This photo was blown up, framed and displayed at my father's wake. My mother now keeps it in the living room where the photo was taken. We are still mourning his loss as it has only been 4 months since his passing, but cherish all the moments we had together. That photo that Prosper shot brings warmth to my heart and I literally thank God every single day that I had that moment captured on film. I am thankful that I chose Gray Studios because I know that if I didn't, I wouldn't have had such a meaningful photo now. I also must say that I have friends who were married over 2 years ago and still await their wedding albums. I had my album just a few months after the wedding. They were perfect on every level. Here is my LIW review:
So we booked Gray because we liked their quality & style best out of 4 house vendors. I'm a graphic artist so I'm pretty critical on any photoshop work in a wedding album. We both agreed that Gray didn't use cheesy effects and were confident that they would make us a great digital album. We also really loved the owner Michael. He was easy to work with and even offered us real estate advice!
Part of our package included a free Engagement Shoot and 8x10. All of our shots came out great so we knew that he'd work out perfectly for the wedding day. We also really liked Prosper & his mannerisms- very professional but loose & a bit wacky! I HATE taking pictures and I get very tense, but he really made me feel comfortable on the wedding day. We received our proofs which came out PERFECT, but have yet to order Thank You cards or the album. [Posted 9.12.07]
*******UPDATE********* Gray Studios gets a major A+! Their turnover is rediculously fast. They had my TY photos within a week of ordering them & a short while later they sent me a postcard saying the album layout is ready!
We chose Gray Studios because we really liked their style of photojournalism and digital layout. We don't like exaggerated use of photoshop effects and saw that alot of their digital albums were very tasteful. Being a graphic artist I was very picky with layout so I found a couple little thing's I'd change, but overall we are VERY pleased! [Posted 10.30.07]
HIGHLY RECOMMEND GRAY! You will not be disappointed!

Both the photographer & his assistant were wonderful. They were professional, yet warm and made everyone feel very comfortable. Steve, our photographer, came up with some really unique & beautiful poses/pictures. You could see how much he loves what he does. The hardest part was choosing from the proofs which one's to put in our album, because there were so many lovely shots. I would absolutely recommend them. They were definitely worth the money!

After going to a lot of photographers, Gray Studios won me over. They did not try to talk me into any bells and whistles which most photography studios tried to do. They were quick to answer any of my questions in person, on the phone and through e-mail. They have been in business for many years and provide a great service. They are flexible with their contracts and provided their proofs in binders which were so useful! My photographer, Steve was very kind to my family and friends and even jumped in when we needed help the morning of.
My only advice is to be more specific with what kind of pictures you want. Although I did mention it, I wish I had been more vocal about the inclusion of photojournalist pictures. I definitely recommend Gray Studios.

I would highly recommend Michael Gray. He was professional and fun - an important quality in a photographer who will be spending your entire wedding day with you! Not only did we have fun shooting the photographs, but the outcome was beyond my wildest expectations. The photographs that Micheal took were beautiful and unique!!
