    Our dream day captured by the best

    I cannot recommend Erin at Grace & Ardor enough!! From the moment we got engaged we were so excited to book Erin as our wedding photographer. Her work is simply incredible and we were so speechless to receive the images from our engagement shoot and wedding day. Erin’s talent is simply unmatched - the emotion, energy and love captured in every single photo brought us right back to reliving our most favorite day and each moment. Her work is timeless and we can’t wait to relive this feeling looking at her incredible work for years to come. On top of being so talented, Erin is the kindest person and puts so much care into capturing each detail in our timeline and made us feel so calm and at ease where we could really be present and enjoy each moment of the day. Our wedding party commented multiple times how it felt so natural and fun working with Erin and second shooter Kelly - We are so so grateful and cannot thank you enough Erin and Kelly for everything!!

    Absolutely Phenomenal!!

    I truly cannot put into words how wonderful Erin is! She was my dream photographer and shortly after getting engaged (even before we had a venue), I reached out to her.

    From the very first call where we met, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding weekend, and post-wedding, everything has been flawlessly executed & perfect! Erin is so kind, calm, lovely, and smart. She has such a fantastic eye for detail and art. During the wedding weekend, she did the most impeccable job of ensuring we got every single picture on our shot list and she captured every moment of the weekend so beautifully. Our second shooter, Hope, was also outstanding!!

    Erin produced the wedding pictures of my absolute dreams - every single picture is stunning and I will cherish them forever. Thank you so much, Erin. You are the BEST and having you as our photographer for our wedding weekend was a true gift and one of the best decisions we made!!!

    Grace & Ardor is the absolute BEST!

    The Grace & Ardor team is absolutely AMAZING. We got married at River House at Odette’s and found Erin while looking through the River House Instagram. Her photos are absolutely stunning and stand out. Erin was booked on our day, so we had Jess and Simon on our wedding day and we can’t say enough nice things about them. Erin was organized throughout the whole process and an overall pleasure to work with. Our pictures are INCREDIBLE. The Grace & Ardor team was an absolute DREAM to work with!!! We’re over the moon happy with our pictures!

    If you want gorgeous, jaw-dropping, magazine-worthy wedding photos to last a lifetime, book Erin immediately!!! On top of being insanely talented, she is the sweetest human-being who made our wedding day so much fun. She has an amazing eye for capturing the beauty and emotion behind every moment. She worked tirelessly to get our sneak peak photos over to us within a week, which are JAWDROPPING!!! I am sincerely honored to have had the opportunity to be photographed by such a talented and kind soul. We cannot thank her enough!!!!!

    Grace + Ardor is the absolute BEST!!!

    We had the pleasure of working with Erin for our wedding and we are just blown away by all of our photos. Not only is Erin so sweet, organized and professional but her eye for making everlasting memories, in a romantic, elegant and classic way is just amazing. I can across Erin on instagram months before even being engaged and knew that I wanted to work with her for my future wedding- she was the first vendor I called and booked and SO happy I did. Erin captured every moment of our wedding day from start to finish. Prior to our wedding she was so quick to respond to all communications and also developed a super detailed and thoughtful timeline that helped everyone stay on track for the day of. We have received countless compliments on our photos, with so many people saying how they look like “they are right out of a magazine” - which I feel just speaks to the level of quality and the artistic beauty that Erin captures.
    I honestly felt so blessed and honored that I had the chance to hire Erin, the quality of her work is outstanding and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Would highly, highly recommend her!!

    Exceptional Photographer

    It’s hard to find the proper words to thank Erin of Grace and Ardor for all of her creativity, compassion, and beautiful work over the course of our engagement and wedding. We've said to each other countless times that hiring Erin as our photographer was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. She is so talented and captured our memories beautifully. But perhaps even more importantly, she made our family, friends, and the two of us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. We trusted her completely, which made our planning and wedding day even more fun and special. From traveling to DC for our engagement session after just having her daughter to dealing with our ridiculously large wedding party and families, her kindness and professionalism was extraordinary. As for the actual photos, they are, of course, breathtaking. Everyone who has seen them notes how talented she is, and we wholeheartedly agree.

    We truly can’t express how much we appreciate her hard work and for being such a wonderful person to work with for our wedding.

    Fairytale Wedding

    I couldn't say enough amazing things about Erin and her team. Erin set us up with her associate Jess for our wedding, and we were in awe by the sneak-peeks that we just received. I literally cried they were so beautiful. Jess and her team were so professional and positive the entire day and made me feel so beautiful. They found ways to capture the day while still letting us be in the moment and enjoy ourselves. If you don't book them, you're missing out. I've followed Erin for years and I knew the moment I got engaged I wanted to work with her team. I felt like I was in a fairytale.

    Timeless Photography

    I have followed and loved Erin’s work for years and after venue, she was the first vendor I booked. I actually emailed her prior to committing to my venue date to check her availability, that’s how good I felt she was (and I was right). You spend the majority of your wedding day with your photographer and Erin was by far one of the best decisions I made.

    Erin and her team made my husband and me feel SO comfortable. They had the amazing ability to be present when they needed to be—like ensuring small children were smiling in photos or fixing my train for it to look just right. But they also had the ability to blend in and for us to forget they were even there. Every detail and small moment captured beautifully, not one thing missed. Erin worked a twelve hour day leaving past midnight and still we got a sneak peek of pictures the next day. She truly captured moments throughout the day & night that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re reading this review, I can only assume you are considering Grace & Ardor for your photography, fill out her contact us and book her—you will not regret it.

    Erin is amazing!

    I found Erin on Instagram and am so glad we had her as our photographer for our wedding. Her photos are so beautiful and she captures the best moments. We received our sneak pics and showed our friends and family and they are equally as obsessed! Not only are her photos beautiful but she is organized and sooooo sweet! She was so pleasant to be around and super professional. I highly recommend her!

    You won't be disappointed !!!

    Erin is the best ever! So personable and fun to work with. Her and Amber worked with us and they made it so easy. Group pictures were so quick (which is what I wanted) and they came out amazinggggg. I still get compliments about her work almost a year later. She is a perfectionist when it comes to organization and details and makes you feel like you don’t have to worry about a thing... which is so nice to have during all of the chaos going on leading up to the day of/the big day. If you have questions about anything.... shoot her a message. She’s so down to earth and easy to talk to!

    Erin’s photography and passion for what she creates truly never ceases to amaze me! Our engagement shoot at Rehoboth Beach, DE was everything we imagined and beyond! Erin braved the chilly spring temperatures and whicked winds to capture our love and guide us seemlessly through every beautiful photo she took. Her work is impeccable and her creative eye is unlike any photographer I have seen. She is fun, laid back, organized and most importantly extremely professional! She is truly the best in the business and we are so fortune to know Erin! We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and we could not wait to display them all over our home ! We can’t thank you enough for capturing this exciting chapter in our lives ; we look forward to cherishing them forever!

    Erin came all the way down to Raleigh, NC to do our wedding photos! She was nothing but professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her pictures have a beautiful warm glow about them and every single picture we had taken from our big day was stunning. From the little detail pictures of the venue to the candids at the reception, we are just thrilled with how they came out. She made sure to capture every moment and it was so much fun going back through and reliving our big day through her gorgeous photos. Her passion for what she does is so obvious when you see her work... I would recommend her over and over again to anyone!

    Throughout the logistical labyrinth and many moving parts that is wedding day, Erin and Jessi were able to consistently capture the magic that I experienced upon marrying my wife. From getting dressed all the way through cocktail hour and dancing, Erin and Jessi shepherded us (sometimes literally) through the many poses and positions that resulted in breathtaking photographs. A good photo preserves a memory; a great photo preserves a feeling. Whenever I look at the photos of Elise and I from the wedding, the flood of emotions leap off the screen or print and transport me back to that very, very special day. I could not have asked for a better photographer to document all of the special moments that Elise and I shared, and we are extremely grateful for Erin’s and Jessi’s calm demeanor, professionalism, ability to calm our nerves, and, above all else, a knack for preserving the magic of our wedding in each and every photo.

    Grace + Ardor photographed our wedding at the Free Library of Philadelphia and was a pleasure to work with! We could not be happier with the way our photographs turned out! The entire process of working with Erin was seamless from start to finish. She put together a comprehensive schedule for the day of, took time to meet with us and scope our picture locations, and was extremely responsive. Erin and her second shooter Jessi were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond on the day of. We received our pictures so quickly after our wedding da and have received so many compliments on our pictures and everyone has raved about how they came out. I would recommend them to all brides without any hesitation!

    Erin’s work for our engagement and wedding photos was fantastic! For our engagement photos she guided us since we had never taken professional photos and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Then for our wedding, she made an outline for the whole day to make sure it went smoothly. I still look at my wedding pictures daily and I am so in love with every one- her work is impeccable! She does an amazing job and I highly recommend her!

    Being a plus size bride, I was really worried about hiring a photographer for my wedding- I thought I would hate how I looked in all of the pictures. Throw in a raging Nor'easter on our wedding day, and I was convinced having good pictures was just not in the cards for us. I could not have been more wrong. Erin and her second shooter at Grace + Ardor showed up with bells on and weren't even phased by the rain. I can honestly say that I have never, ever, felt more beautiful than I did, when we received our sneak peak photos THE MORNING AFTER OUR WEDDING. We received the rest of our pictures faster than I expected too. Erin is a true artist, perfectionist, and professional. I would hire her again without hesitation, and I recommend her to all of the brides I meet. Everyone that I bump into since the wedding has commented on how fun it was and amazing our pictures turned out. In a sea of photographers that all seem to do the same thing over and over-- I felt like Erin photographed our day in a way that uniquely captured us, our guests, our family, the venue, details, and the energy of the whole day/night. The wedding flew by so fast, but I am so grateful that I will be able to re-live the day/night over and over, thanks to such a great photographer. Thanks, Erin!

    We used Grace + Ardor from start to finish (stationary through photography), and could not be happier we did! The entire process was seamless, Erin and Tracey were both so professional (and so helpful to me the day of the wedding), stationary was absolutely stunning and so creative, and the photos we just received (and in under 2 weeks time!!) are absolutely flawless!!! We have already received so many compliments on both the stationary and photography, and we will never go elsewhere for either! Grace + Ardor is top notch from start to finish and we will never stop recommending their work. A MUST USE for anything photography, stationary, and/or wedding related. You will not be disappointed! Thank you so, so much to Erin and tracey for the truly flawless work that was provided, and for being so responsive and excited along the way!! We are endlessly thankful!

    Words cannot explain how talented Erin is from Grace+Ardor Co. We had our engagement session and wedding day captured by Erin and our pictures are just incredible! I cry every time I look at pictures from our wedding day and we've received so many compliments on how gorgeous our photos are. She is a beautiful person inside & out and has such a talent for capturing those moments that you want to keep forever. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for sharing your passion & creativity with us!

    Erin is incredibly professional and unbelievably talented. She made us feel completely comfortable in what can be a very uncomfortable situation. You can tell she really knows what she's doing, she captures the lighting just perfectly, gives direction without being overbearing, and just makes you feel like shes not even there! Definitely book her! I know will for our all life events!
