    My favorite “vendor” we had at our wedding

    Gracie was so sweet, patient, and had the best pose ideas. She understood what was important to us and prioritized the shots we wanted. I loved her style and her creativity.

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Ahhh, Emma! Thank you! Your kind words mean so much! Yours and Jessica's day was an absolute joy to capture!

    Worth the wait!

    Gracie did an amazing job with our wedding photos. From start to finish the whole experience was spectacular. She even improvised along the way to help us get amazing photos both at the lake and at a spot down town; there was a bit of extra driving involved (more then we had anticipated by about an hour), but Gracie worked with us and helped us get the photos we now love and cherish. She did a custom package for us that fit our needs, which was amazing, gave us some amazing sneak peaks from our wedding day, sent a video of her editing one of our photos, and finally delivered our photos in the time frame she had provided. It might have taken longer to get our photos from her then we would have with someone else but it was well worth it. We now have our perfect day captured in lovely photos we will have for ever. If you’re looking for someone to help make your special day one to remember and capture all those perfect moments then Gracie is the photographer for you!

    Elopement Oklahoma City

    Gracie was a dream to work with!🥰 Not only is she so sweet and accommodating she helped my husband who isn’t super comfortable in front of the camera be at ease. She has a great eye for all things romantic, unique and fun! We laughed sooooooooo much during our elopement session with her and we’re able to just be our authentic selves❤️That was priceless!
    I was blown away at how gorgeous as well as storytelling our pics were! It’s not often that my expectations are met 😜 but she exceeded them! I would HIGHLY refer her to anyone looking for a photographer☺️ She’s truly wonderful in every way.

    She makes you feel like a beauty queen!

    Gracie is such a talented creator! She makes you feel safe and comfortable and there’s none of that awkward, stiff direction that’s comes with a lot of photographers. She creates beautiful work!

    Gloria, thank you for your kind words! One of my largest goals is to make sure my "client(s)" feel comfortable and natural with me and my camera! This is such a great compliment!

    Boudoir photography

    Gracie was very professional. She helped capture intimate photos for my husband to be. The whole process was flawless she assisted in outfits, hair and makeup. As someone who had never done anything close to boudoir photos she made me feel so comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone wanting boudoir photos. The photos turned out incredible and my husband to be loved them! 10/10 I recommend her!

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Thank you for choosing me to deliver your boudoir gallery, Kelsey! I appreciate your kind words!

    Even though Kelsey already booked a wedding photographer before she found me, I was so happy and excited to create her boudoir session for her!

    Truly amazing

    I did a photo session with Gracie last October and was absolutely blown away! She is super down to earth, creative, and EXTREMELY talented. I haven’t gotten married yet but plan to when I do, I’m asp expecting and I’m hoping to steal her away for delivery, and maternity pictures as well! She makes you feel like family, and captures beauty you didn’t even think existed!

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Thank you a million for the sweet words, Autumn! You're a joy to work with, and I can't wait to create for you in the future!

    Friends' Wedding Pictures

    Gracie Kate photographed a dear friend's wedding, and I was thoroughly impressed with her. She was able to capture unique and creative shots all with no thought of her own comfort and without being a distraction during the ceremony. Her pictures definitely captured each emotion of the day, from the sentimental, somewhat sad looks of the parents to the joy and elation the couple felt! My friends were completely satisfied and happy with her work.

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Mai, thank you for your kind heart and kind words! You are such a sweet and genuine soul! I appreciate your review more than you know!

    Perfect Moments Captured

    This woman hid in a deer blind for like an hour just to take proposal pictures of my fiancé and I as I dropped to one knee. It was August… that thing was literally a hot box but she toughed it out just to capture our moment. If you have any photography needs, Gracie will definitely take care of you!!

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Thanks, Eli! I'm so glad my sacrifices for "that shot" have been publicly announced & appreciated! Haha! Thank you for this funny reminder; I'll never forget how fun and special your engagement session was.
    _______

    Eli and I talked for weeks to make this day special for his soon-to-be bride, strategically planning how we would sneak me in their moment without giving it all away!

    Perfect in Every Way!

    I loved how my engagement photos by Gracie turned out! She captured our special moment in such an authentic and sweet way! Gracie was very professional and a joy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable, and we had so much fun with her. She even got us some edited sneak peeks the same day so we could post them on social media. I have never received photos back that quickly, and I really appreciated it! Gracie is one of the most talented and creative individuals you will meet, and this is evident in all the photos she captures. She has a lovely editing style that naturally enhances every photo. We would absolutely use Gracie again!

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Your words are so kind & so appreciated! I will never forget your engagement session, and I had so much fun capturing your special moment + creating for you two!

    Talented photographer

    I saw Gracie in action at a friend's daughters wedding. And I was instantly draw to how she operated at taking pictures. You see my daughter was looking to get married and we was in need of a photographer, During this wedding Gracie was everywhere at the same time clicking away and I just knew there would be some amazing photos. She took photos of things I wud have never thought of. So before the night was over I had put a call-in to Gracie to get a price for my daughter's wedding. There was an instant connection. So Gracie took my daughters bridal pictures and wedding pictures and every single detail was there. And they was stunning!! I highly recommend her, she is very friendly ,motivated and not afraid of the wind 😉 She did amazing...

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for giving me your review! I am so humbled that you were so impressed with my services! It was a joy creating with and for Ra'Leigh & Tristan!

    Terrible Experience

    I can’t even begin to describe my devastation with my experience. Gracie breached our contract on multiple occasions and continued to withhold our images after her deadline once we requested an offer of compensation for her unprofessionalism.

    Gracie Kate Photography's reply:

    I cannot say I expected anything else from you except for a review attempting to hurt my business, given the way I was treated by you, your family, and the people in your wedding party.
    I breached the contract in one way. I was extremely ill for 10 days before your gallery due date. I made you aware that I would need more time to finish up the last details in your gallery. I could have provided you your gallery on time, but the photos would not have been near as polished or as beautiful as they are fully completed. Furthermore, I provided you $416.00 worth of extra photos as a compensation for the six days you waited past your gallery deadline date. You asked for a refund of $136.00. I told you I would provide that to you if you felt you still needed that on top of the $416.00 worth of extra photos I provided you. I began working 45 minutes earlier than I was contractually held to do so, meaning I worked 10% longer on your wedding day than the time you paid to have me for. I provided you with 21% more photos than you paid for. The only thing I possibly did that could have been seen as anything other than professional in any way was being 6 days late with your gallery upload, in which I fully made up for (I essentially paid you $280 *more* than you asked for as a compensation).
    I uploaded your gallery on 1/21/23. You emailed me on 1/22/23 stating, word for word, “we are so impressed and in love with our gallery, you have done an amazing job capturing all of the emotions from one of the greatest nights of our lives.” You also stated, “our contract was voided jan. 15 when you were unable to hold up your side of the agreement.” Because of that sentence, I temporarily removed your online gallery to protect my photo rights on 1/22/23. I sent you a request via email to verify if you meant a void of contract vs a breach of contract. I needed to know if you believed our contract to be voided so that I could know if you would respect the photo copyrights agreed upon in our contract or if you would disregard our contract in whole. If you were stating the contract to be voided, you were therefore canceling any obligation I owed you, and therefore, that meant that the photos were not yours to have access to. On 1/23/22, you said you understood that, you said you did not need any kind of compensation, and you verified that you meant a breach in contract and that you would respect all photo copy rights and contractual agreements. Less than 3 hours later at 12:12 pm on 1/23/22, I made your gallery available to you again. You then downloaded your gallery. I apologized multiple times for being ill; I have now been sick for over a month and have still delivered 4 other galleries. Its just so happens that your gallery due date fell on the days that I was close to hospitalization, and I was bodily unable to finish the last details in time.
    You nor your party respected the photography timeline at any point in the day, and I remained kind, patient and helpful to still make sure every photo you wanted to have happened. Your wedding party did not cooperate willingly, forcing me to repeat myself multiple times throughout the day. Two of your family members were degrading and condescending towards me. (Notably, other family members and guests praised me for how wonderful I was.) All three of those occurrences were a breach in contract and could have resulted in me leaving your wedding based on our contractual agreement. I have worked at the venue you got married at multiple times, and I am a well known vendor there. Furthermore, the police got called to the location during your wedding for your husband and other party member’s possession of drugs and alcohol that were outside of the venue’s policies.I do not know any other way to fix that error than what I did: providing you $416. In free images. I hope you can find it in your heart to be honest with yourself and others about the ways I was “unprofessional.”
