The best photographer I’ve ever dealt with!

Rick was so incredible! He was extremely friendly, but also so professional. He took so many pictures for us and made sure to capture each one I requested. He also got the pictures back to us in less than a week!! By far the most compliments I’ve gotten about my wedding have been how beautiful the pictures are, and I couldn’t be happier with them! I’m usually awkward in pictures but Rick was so great about posing everyone and making us feel comfortable! Definitely book him if you can!!

Rick Grainger was the perfect choice or our wedding. Rick met with us four times before the wedding and was kind, polite, and helpful each time. He allowed us the freedom to make four payments toward our total before the wedding, which helped us in budgeting for other things.

We had a great time doing our engagement photos with him, and they looked great. He was willing to go to two separate locations to photograph.

On wedding day, he was the first person to arrive at the venue. My wife and I got ready in two separate locations about a mile apart, and Rick went back and forth between these locations to get pictures while we got ready and the bridal party started showing up.

He was upbeat, helpful, funny, and courteous all day long. He was able to tactfully say the things to my groomsmen and family that I did not feel comfortable saying. For example, to my groomsmen, "A gentleman wearing a two button suit buttons only the top button unless its a funeral, and this is not a funeral, gentlemen." Thank you, Rick. I was thinking it, but you said it.

His photography of the wedding itself and the reception was excellent. Every shot we could have wanted, Rick got it. One of my guests, as Rick walked by us to take a picture of something commented, "he has not stopped taking pictures for a minute." That's pretty accurate. He did not stop until the bride and I left, and by then it was just Rick, a couple guests, and the bridal party.

After the wedding, we waited only a couple weeks before he sent us a link to a gallery of more than 1,500 photos. We were very happy with the results. I could not recommend Rick more highly.26

Rick Grainger was amazing. He offers a great wedding package with everything you need with an affordable price. I love my wedding pictures and wedding love story book Rick made. I would recommend him to any bride I know. He is very flexible, knowledgable, and not only is your photographer, but also makes sure your wedding day goes as planned.

What an amazing experience. We interviewed many photographers prior to selecting Rick Grainger. The quality of his pictures and the attention to detail was our deciding factor.
Our initial meeting with Rick was very informative. We knew exactly what we could expect including photographs, wedding album, pricing etc.
He was extremely professional, but alot of fun and funny.
We met several times before the wedding to review what pictures we wanted, to make sure he knew our likes and dislikes, he knew our families and bridal parties by name.
The best part we received pictures on facebook the week after the wedding, a few each day which was very exciting and then by day 5 we had the entire CD of the wedding. What fun! I would definitely recommend Rick as a photographer. Oh yes his assistant Dorothy was wonderful too. Creative with the bridemaids and alot of fun.! Thanks Dorothy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
