About

Grey Giraffe Collective is a rep company managing a highly select group of wedding photographers and filmmakers who are based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We want to make creative and authentic images for you. We love to collaborate with unique, soulful folks who are as excited as us about making great photographs. Since we launched in 2010, we have been lucky to meet and work with hundreds of couples. Many have become dear friends.

As we see it, photography is a necessity. It's the artful expression of the happiest moments of our lives, the living memory of the moments we never want to forget. It is the proof we keep in times of happiness and darkness alike that affirms the beauty and joy of life. Above all though, it is the documentation of who we are and the portrayal of the human connection. To us, that connection is what it's all about. To that end, we would love to meet with you over tea and hear your story.

We have a very laid-back, observational approach to photographing weddings. For us, it's all about you as people, and the individual character of your day. No weird posing, no contrived stereotypical images, just letting things unfold naturally and responding creatively. If we photograph your wedding, your day will really mean something to us. We only take on a limited number of weddings each year so we can spend time with you, and give each image the care it deserves.

Amazing experience and photos

Grey Giraffe Collective was AMAZING to work with for my wedding reception. Communication was great over email and phone calls. Payment and photo delivery were easy and efficient. We only needed a half day and a single photographer and they were more than accommodating.

Alan made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable. I told Alan what I wanted for our portraits and he made it happen. Alan was extremely efficient with our time and made sure to capture every photo I requested.

Besides Alan's professionalism on the business side, the photos and his artistic vision for the photos and posing were everything I could have wanted and more. The photos feel very natural and authentic. I can feel the happiness through the photos.

Alan captured the beautiful landscape perfectly because I had emphasized how much the Utah mountains mean to us.

I would recommend Grey Giraffe to ANYONE. You should DEFINITELY hire them.

100% recommend hiring this team

Alan and the Grey Giraffe team went above and beyond to capture our wedding day through photo, film, and video that I will cherish the rest of my life!!! 1000000% would we recommend hiring this crew :) (and especially having a second shooter for the wedding)

They made us feel comfortable behind the camera, captured all of the candid moments throughout the night, and beyond exceeded our expectations. All of our family and friends were also raving about how wonderful they were.

From the start of booking and answering my questions, to helping with timeline and the day of being flexible when it momentarily rained to delivering our wedding album, I was blown away by their professionalism and obvious experience.

I love how they captured not only the bride/groom/wedding party, but also all of our guests as we partied the night away. Their editing style is timeless and these images are forever going to be hung on our walls. The quality of work, ability to story tell, and effectively capture the various emotions throughout the day through these images is a testament to their skill level and craft.

I am so glad we chose to have them as apart of our wedding weekend!

If you’re looking for a photographer/videographer who will go above and beyond to capture your special moments, look no further because Alan and team are truly the best!

Grey Giraffe is the best!!

The Grey Giraffe team and Alan are incredible and masters at their craft. I cannot emphasize enough how beautiful, elegant, and timeless our photos are; they are a work of art. We had our engagement and wedding photographed and honestly I wish we would have booked a formal session too! Our photos are something that we have showcased all over our home and tell the story of our day. The biggest thank you to Alan and his team, we are forever grateful to you!

Exceeded expectations

Grey Giraffe was absolutely amazing and their photos show it. We spent hours sorting through different photographers and their photos just didn’t connect, until we were referred to Grey Giraffe and saw their work. They capture the essence and story of the wedding, as well as every detail. They are welcoming, inviting, and accepting. It also meant a lot that they are LGBTQ+ inclusive and don’t make you feel any different. The final edits were quick and exceeded expectations. They were worth every penny and now we can call them friends as well. We strongly recommend them for your perfect day.

Book grey giraffe now!

We chose them before we even had a venue and a date (breaking the cardinal rule) be Cvs’s us we were that sure after viewing their portfolio. Luckily, Alan made the date work and went above and beyond for us. We are so glad because the photos exceeded our already high expectations due to their portfolio. Alan and Whitney were an added plus on a personal level. They made us comfortable, they made us laugh, and added to our overall wedding experience. We actually enjoyed taking all of our photos! The result was more than we could have hoped for. Our photos are the perfect combination of posed and candid, wedding and art. If you’re looking for a sign regarding who to book, this is it! I would choose them again in a heart beat.

A New Fairytale

Grey Giraffe captured our wedding perfectly. Our photos looked straight out of a fairytale and we will treasure them forever. My hubby is picky when it comes to photography and when he saw Alan's photos, he had to have him at our wedding as our photographer. Alan and his wife were our two photographers and they both exceeded expectations! The only problem is is that it is going to be very hard to decide which photos are going on the wall as there are so many good ones! Thank you both!!!
