The BEST Photography Experience

There are no words to describe how wonderful our experience with Grant Watkins was. This has easily been the best experience with any photographer that we have ever had. Grant is so professional, yet is an extremely personable individual. He spent his time making sure that we felt comfortable and at ease. After having chatted on the phone, we loved how easy it was to speak to him and how he listened to our needs and concerns. The pictures were flawless. They were clean and stunning images. Grant truly has a great eye to capture all the best emotions. As far as value goes, he is exceptionally affordable, offering many more services compared to his competitors for a much more reasonable price. I simply cannot recommend him enough. The pictures from both our engagement session and wedding captured all the perfect moments that we will treasure forever. We will continue to use him in the future.

Extremely easy to work with and laid back! The engagement session was so fun!

Grant was incredibly laid back and made us really comfortable with the whole process. He had great ideas for poses and locations and took so many incredible photos. I can't recommend him highly enough. Also, if you are in Kansas, you know how windy this place gets and our photoshoot fell on a really windy day but Grant knew how to work with the wind to get some incredible shots. Seriously if you are looking for a photographer, stop here, you won't regret it!

All I can say is wow!!

Seriously, Grant is the first and best decision we made for our wedding. So talented, so professional, and overall a great guy. My now husband doesn't like taking photos (as I'm sure many of you can relate), but he loved Grant and felt totally at ease in front of the camera.

Grant took both our engagement and wedding photos, and I am in awe of each and every picture he has sent to us. He also was a huge help in the wedding planning process since he's been in the biz for so long.

Absolutely recommend Grant if you're looking for incredible photos at an awesome price from a guy that will crack dad jokes and keep the energy high the entire time.

Grant is GREAT!

We booked Grant about a year out from our wedding, and we LOVE the choice we made! He communicated thoroughly with us throughout the process, set up a meeting to discuss the timeline of the day, and made us feel completely comfortable for all our photos the entire day! We are absolutely in love with our photos!

Amazing Photographer

Grant was extremely professional made the day super easy and fun. We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding. From the engagement session to the day of the wedding, he was helpful and extremely easy to work with. He is an amazing photographer (with some pretty great dad jokes). If you want amazing photos, Grant is your guy.

Grant and Emily were fantastic to work with! From the beginning, Grant was responsive and able to
answer all of my questions. Grant is fun to work with and has such an easy going personality. He’s personable and his dad jokes ensure that the smiles in your photos are genuine. We worked with Grant for both our engagement session and wedding. We worked with Emily at our wedding. On all counts, they were professional and fun. They made the picture taking experience enjoyable and we would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Wedding Photography

We were so happy with the photos that Grant took the day of our wedding. He does a really great job capturing personalities, and authentic moments! I knew I didn't have to worry about him getting the perfect shot, because all of the pictures he takes are canvas worthy. We have so many pictures to remember our special day by and we couldn't be happier!

Beautiful photos, amazing person!

Grant was our wedding photographer for an October wedding and did such an amazing job! He was so easy to work with while scheduling our engagement photos, made us feel so comfortable, and made everything so fun and relaxing! On our wedding day I was able to relax and not worry while Grant and his second shooter made sure all the photos we wanted were handled. Grant has a great personality and is very easy to get along with. Our entire wedding party loved him. Our photos came back in very quick time and we just love the simplicity yet elegant touch to all of them. Such beautiful and professional work! Thank you Grant!!

Grant brings out the best in everyone and captures hidden special moments.

Grant did amazing!! He listened to what we wanted and suggested amazing poses! He makes even those that are not such fans of having their photo taken have fun. From the moment he arrived till the send-off, he did not stop taking pictures. He captured so many moments; the bride and grooms love, to family members talking, to friends dancing on the dance floor, and everything in between. Leading up to the wedding, he was really easy to work with and responded to emails quickly and answered all my millions of questions. He is extremely experienced and such an amazing photographer!

Best vendor of wedding!

Grant was so easy to work with and communicate with from engagement to after the wedding. He made us comfortable in front of the camera and kept us laughing with his dad jokes. I got so many comments about how our photographer never stopped snapping pictures all night, and we got SO many wonderful photos. Grant was very thoughtful with his photos and made sure to capture all of the little details. He helped make our day go smoothly, and even when we started to get nervous on time, he stayed calm and collected and got all the photos we wanted with plenty of time. We can't recommend Grant enough!

BEST Wedding Photographer Ever!

Grant Watkins Photography was the best choice we could have made for our wedding photographer. We chose his sweeter package that included a separate 3 hour engagement photo session and then obviously the full wedding day photos. Grant is very friendly and easy to work with. We knew at the engagement session that he would be perfect for our wedding day photos. He makes taking pictures fun, quick, and easy. He is very thorough with the pictures and knows exactly how to pose all groups of people. Our photos came out excellent, and he is very skilled in capturing the perfect moments. Easily one of the best photo professionals we have ever worked with. Thanks so much Grant!

From the first Skype meeting with Grant to the final delivery of pictures, I experienced nothing but fun, passionate, professionalism. Those adjectives might not seem like they go together, but to describe Grant and his second shooter, Vivienne, they do. Grant made me feel at ease about choosing him to capture our big day through Skype. That should tell you how easy he was to talk to and trust that he would deliver a great product. We live 3 hours from Manhattan, but Grant and Vivienne were willing to do the drive so that we could have pictures at my husband’s farm. The day arrives for our engagement pictures and it’s a gloomy, cold and misty morning. Grant and Vivienne never wavered in their positive attitude and willingness to still get great pictures. They even trekked through cow pastures and climbed into hay lofts! Looking at the engagement pictures, you would never know it was a cold and dreary day. We love them so much! The wedding day came and having Grant and Vivienne there allowed me to relax and enjoy the day. They were able to corral the big family pictures and take fun wedding party shots. Our wedding party still talks about how much fun they had with Grant and Vivienne on our wedding day. Finally, Grant delivered our pictures so quick and they are fabulous! My husband and I have so much fun looking through the pictures and reminiscing. Thank you Grant and Vivienne for capturing our biggest life moments and having fun with us while doing it!

We can't thank Grant enough for the fantastic experience he gave us while capturing every second during our engagement session and wedding! Grant is truly amazing, professional, friendly, funny, and a very hard-working guy. I can't count how many times we heard from our family and friends how professional, easy-going, and accommodating Grant was at our wedding. He really takes the time from the first meeting to the last picture he takes at the wedding to get to know you and what you are wanting in wedding photos. We had a phone conference with him about a month out from our wedding and he made a set schedule for us to follow on the day of. It was so helpful and our family loved it! He was right on schedule and managed to get every picture we were wanting to get that day. We just got our wedding photos back yesterday and I have already looked through them 5+ times! We are so in love and they will last us a lifetime. Our family told us our best decision in the wedding planning process was booking Grant Watkins Photography. I couldn't agree more! We highly recommend him for any special occasion!

Grant has been absolutely amazing. From our very first over the phone meeting up until our wedding day, he has been there every step of the way. If you're looking for a reliable and excellent photographer, Grant is your man. Our engagement pictures were so much fun with Grant getting us comfortable in front of a camera and we had them back to us in less than a week! He kept us at ease during the entire process and was extremely easy to work with. He had so many great ideas for pictures and we couldn't be happier. We just received our wedding pictures back as well and they turned out great. I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose and trust Grant to capture one of the most important days of my life. I would recommend Grant to anyone looking for a top notch photographer!!

Grant was amazing; our wedding was just under a week ago so we haven’t received our final images yet. Though Grant has posted some previews and we’re thrilled with the results already! Throughout the planning process and shooting our engagement pictures Grant was extremely professional and personable; we had so much fun with Grant shooting the engagement pictures that we decided to book another session, and we loved all of the images. Throughout the planning and day of our wedding, Grant was checking on us to ensure that we were happy and easily rolled with the punches to make adjustments to our timeline and photo shot list if/when needed. People sometimes want/need to save money where they can on a wedding, and they often try to save money on a photographer. If you’re going to spend money somewhere, please use it on a great photographer like Grant. The price you’ll pay is so worth it to have amazing images that will last a lifetime, from a photographer who truly cares! Choosing Grant as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding!

Grant was absolutely amazing! We can’t imagine anybody else capturing our wedding day! He is very flexible to work with, captured the small details of our big day (which was very important to us) and is so creative! He provided us with a wide variety of pictures... there was not one that we didn’t like! He made us as well as everybody else feel so comfortable. We cannot speak any higher of how professional he was and how great of an experience he provided!

Grant was AMAZING to work with! From the initial meeting, my husband and I knew Grant was the photographer we wanted to capture our goofy relationship from his great quality of work, the time taken to get to know us, and willingness to crawl over walls and under fences to get the best shot! He made both our photo sessions during our engagement and wedding so easy and relaxed. My husband and I love the outdoors, so when we asked Grant if we could take more nature and scenic pictures, he was nothing short of delivering pictures that fit our goofy and nature-loving personalities! We're so glad we used Grant to capture our special day. 11/10 would work with him again!

What can I say about Grant...I knew when we took our engagement photos that we were going to have so much fun with him on our wedding day and I wasn't wrong! Grant makes sure that you and you significant other is comfortable and always laughing on your wedding day!! My husband and I enjoyed our experience with Grant so much and hope to stay in touch with him!! He helped make our special day so relaxed and full of laugher! Not to mention the photos turned out even better than I thought they would! He does such amazing work and work hard to get you what you want out of your wedding day! He truly captures the love and laughter that my husband and I share together. I will always recommend Grant! He is the best!! And hey if you can get my husband to like you when you are a KSU fan (along with me!) you know it's gonna be good! Lol

I would highly recommend Grant to anyone! Our engagement pictures were a blast and the wedding day photos were even more fun! He is very laid back and easy to work with. Everyone in the Bridal Party and family members commented how amazing he was. He was so flexible. He made sure to capture everything I wanted and went above and beyond to get some really special photos. I was a little worried about how chaotic family photos might be with so many people involved but it was a breeze with Grant directing everyone and it went smoothly! Our photos were sent to us in a timely manner. There was a great variety of photos and we absolutely loved them as did all our family and friends. Grant is clearly gifted at what he does and it's evident he enjoys doing it!

Grant was the absolute perfect photographer for us! My husband is goofy and wanted to have fun taking pictures. Grant did an awesome job feeding his silly picture ideas while also capturing so many amazing pictures that we will both cherish forever. We enjoyed working with Grant because he was professional at all times but also fun and played off of our personalities and joked with us. He made taking pictures fun and not awkward at all. He also fit perfectly into our budget for a photographer and we were blown away with the quality of his work. We also received our wedding pictures way faster than I expected, so nice to be able to view them a few weeks earlier than you think! I would highly recommend Grant to anyone needing a wedding photographer!

Grant is the absolute best! He was amazing to work with the whole time, we had a wonderful experience with our engagement photos and couldn't ask for anything else when it came to the wedding day. They were there early, stayed late and made sure to capture all the little moments that we didn't even realize where happening! I really cannot recommend Grant enough as a photographer! His work is beautiful and makes you feel amazing when you see yourself in his photos. He and his second photographer are really fun people to be around and a great addition to any wedding day!

I was nervous about our photos. I am one of those self-conscious brides and my then fiance didnt want to spend an arm and leg finding a good photographer. A friend recommended Grant Watkins Photography to us and from the moment we met with him in a coffee shop to just "talk" wedding photos, we were both sold. Grant has a way of getting you to really enjoy the moment you are in and after receiving our engagement photos, we were in love and confident in our choice. Our entire wedding was smooth and Grant and his partner captured every moment of it. We couldnt have asked for a better photographer. He was truly our best investment!

I highly recommend Grant Watkins as your photographer. He is so much fun to work with and keeps the atmosphere relaxed and fun! He is also very creative with his work and takes so many neat pictures! He is extremely knowledgeable in photography and knows all of the awesome poses to do. He works very hard and is up for anything. No matter if it's rain, shine, snow, or freezing out, he is willing to go above and beyond to get the perfect pictures! He started super early and stayed super late just to make sure he never missed a moment. The quality of his work exceeds expectations, and that is because he is truly passionate about what he does. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer or better photos. He captured every beautiful moment! Thank you Grant for being so amazing!

Grant and his assistant were so wonderful to work with. They were super responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Grant had multiple calls/Skype meetings with us in advance of our wedding, as we were planning remotely. He also traveled with an assistant 3 hours from his home town for our event.

On the big day, everything went off without a hitch; and all our pictures turned out beautifully! I would highly recommend this vendor.

Grant was so great to work with! He really goes above and beyond in working with his clients. He was easy to reach, responsive to messages, and spent time really getting to know us so by the time we were at the wedding it felt like he was another friend celebrating our day who happened to also be taking the pictures. I especially enjoyed working with Grant because he was willing to show up when needed and stay as long as needed - he didn't count the hours and skip out at the end. He provided us with 800+ wedding photos in a style consistent with his (impressive) portfolio and our wedding party loved having him around. He had great ideas and weaved our ideas into our wedding photos and they came out great! He helped guide our day of time line and provided feed back on the flow of the day. He was with the girls in the morning getting ready all the way to the send off. He was timely with providing both our engagement photos and wedding photos at the quoted time and provides digital copies with a photo release both in an image gallery and on a USB flash drive. We can't recommend him enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Grant. He is extremely easy to work with and he makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos were absolutely beautiful and we had a great time taking them! When all the action was happening I didn't even notice him or the other photographer taking photos, yet we have tons of wonderful photos of every moment! I am so glad we chose Grant Watkins Photography and we highly recommend him!!!

Grant and Rachel are the best around. Can't say enough about how awesome and flexible they are to work with! You can tell they really love what they do and Grant was a huge help in planning the timeline for the day as well. You can't beat two photographers and all day coverage, worth every penny.

Here's why asking Grant to be our engagement/wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made while planning our wedding:
1) He was EXTREMELY quick in responding to my emails. I typically heard from Grant within the same day!
2) The "ownership" of all the pictures was awesome. After our wedding, Grant sent us a USB drive with all of our pictures. We were also able to download them from online.
3) The sessions were super fun! My husband and I had a blast during out engagement and wedding shoots. We are kind of weird and Grant captured the many aspects of our personalities in his photos.
4) The turn-around time was pretty good. It always FEELS like forever to get photos back after a shoot because you are so anxious to see them but Grant got us our engagement photos back in less than three weeks and our wedding photos back right around a month and a half. It is also exciting to see his little "sneak peaks" within a couple of days after your shoot. He knows how to build up the hype. :)
5) Professional and accommodating. I was a pretty organized bride (some might say anal) with a near minute-by-minute itinerary. Grant took my timeline very seriously. He and his assistant did an awesome job keeping everyone on schedule and lining people up for the more formal shots. I may have deserved the jokes about my timeline BUT with Grant and Emily's help, the day flowed so nicely!
6) So flexible! I live about 2.5 hours away from Manhattan and by golly, that did not stop him from being in Fredonia, KS at 10am and out as late as 9:30pm to head home. He offered to stay for longer but the bouquet/garter toss, first dances, cake cutting etc., was all done by then, so I sent him home. He still probably got back close to midnight though!
7) My friends and family loved him. They would not stop ranting about his fun personality.
I am literally out of room on this review but I could go on! Pick Grant Watkins Photography! You won't regret it!

We had an overall fabulous experience with Grant! From engagement pictures to wedding pictures, he helped make our day better. We had fun taking the pictures and so need everyone that was apart of our wedding. We got so many great pictures back from the wedding and we couldn't be happier, so glad we have all these great pictures to help us relive the best day ever!

We are so glad we choose Grant as our photographer for our wedding! He was absolutely amazing from our first conversation to the delivery of our wedding photos.
We loved that Grant took the time to get to know us beyond just taking our wedding pictures. It made us feel comfortable in front of him on our special during those emotional moments! Grant was not only extremely professional, he was fun, outgoing and very polite! We received hundreds of photos back from our wedding and every one of them we loved! We highly recommend using Grant Watkins Photography!
Thanks you so much for helping make our wedding day perfect!

Grant did a phenomenal job at our wedding! He was super courteous, professional, and above all...patient. Grant is more than a photographer. He cares about getting to know his clients and capturing their true passion and connection. His sense of humor put our bridal party at ease as they took photo after photo after photo. Having everyone feel so relaxed allowed Grant to capture those "Kodak" moments that summed up our personalities and friendships in one shot. Being a fellow photographer, though not a professional by any means, I loved how Grant got super excited about a picture and gave me a sneak peak during the engagement shoot and pre-wedding photos. He even put up with our 3 dogs and guns for the engagement shoot, and superhero shirts and horse-drawn carriage at the wedding. He had great ideas for poses/locations and took our suggestions in stride as well. I sent him pictures from Pinterest beforehand and he was more than happy to try to incorporate as many of those ideas as he could. When we received the photos back, we were stunned how great they turned out! We realized that day went by so fast that we missed a lot of the candid moments so it was perfect to be able to look at all the images and reminisce and laugh. Overall we loved having Grant as our photographer and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer to help capture their special day!

Grant Watkins was a complete JOY to work with. One of my biggest fears was that my husband wouldn't be able to "let is guard down"... He's not into having his pics taken (lol)... But Grant put both of us at ease immediately and we had a wonderful time, together. I loved every moment. We had conversed via email and had a few phone conversations before our engagement session, and with this, I became very comfortable with Grant and was confident in my decision to make him our go-to photographer. After our engagement session experience, I couldn't WAIT for our wedding day. I knew my husband would be comfortable and have fun, along with me and my family. Grant was very professional, personable, dedicated, timely, prepared, outgoing, and fun, all at the same time. My mind was completely at ease with him behind the camera. My only wish-- I wish he lived closer to us!! No matter the distance, I definitely plan to use Grant Watkins for future sessions. I know what I'm getting... and that's the BEST of the BEST. Thank you, Grant Watkins. You have helped capture a very special couple of days in our lives... Here's to many more!

Grant Watkins is a great photographer to work with both in front of and behind the camera. Before you hire Grant, he will sit and talk with you about the service he provides, lets you look at his work, ask questions, and get to know one another to make sure your personalities mesh well. He takes the time before each session (engagement and wedding) to understand what you expect of him and to listen to your ideas. If you have any questions or concerns through the wedding planning process Grant is quick to respond and ease your mind. Grant is always willing to go after the daring new shot but he also makes a point to get the classics. He is very professional and cares about getting quality photos that both you and he can be proud of. Grant focus on pictures that highlight you and to do so he takes advantage of beautiful natural lighting rather than relying on drastic photo editing later. It is obvious Grant loves what he does and it is great to have a photographer who knows exactly what they are doing on your day! Grant does professional, quality work at a great price and we would recommend him to be everyones first choice!!

We brought Grant and his wife Rachel with us to Key West for our destination wedding. They were absolutely amazing! With us for all the moments and braved it through the hot, sun, and sand! WE had a wonderful time and enjoyed having them with us for it all! We were at complete ease of mind knowing Grant had it all taken care of, and that the pictures would be amazing! And he didn't let us down :) extremely talented! Thank you for being part of your special day!

Grant was the best photographer we could have hoped for. From our initial contact, all the way through our wedding day he was professional, fun, reliable, and delivered incredible photographs that my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot imagine finding a better photographer. When our wedding pictures were delivered to us we sat down to view them and were blown away at the memories he captured for us. You will not find a photographer that will treat you better. Thank you so much Grant, we loved working with you, and are so happy with everything you did.

He also took photos of everything and gave us so many options! I would recommend him for anyone and everyone!

Not to mention he not only did my wedding but is doing my brother's wedding and my sister's wedding that are coming up!

My husband actually found Grant online. We did a couple of three-way Skype sessions and we both really liked him. Grant is also very competitively priced and willing to do just about anything for those couples that hire him. Grant and his team were professional and on time and knew what they were doing. He was there right away in the morning as we all got ready and was there until the reception ended. He and his team gave us way more time than any other photographer my husband and I been able to find, and for less of a price. Grant and his team were also very efficient. Since my husband and I chose not to see each other before the ceremony, Grant and his team arranged most pictures before and was super efficient in taking the pictures we needed after the ceremony as well. He and his team were very fun to work with and his jokes are great =) My husband and I really enjoyed having him as our wedding photographer.

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. As a photographer I knew my standards would be high; Grant far exceeded my expectations. His professionalism was apparent in dealing with our many 'last minute changes' as any couple can attest to. Grant was able to get the shots he needed and we wanted done not only quickly, but right the first time.

He was not a pushy photographer, instead he truly wants to give his customers what they ask for. We also used Grant for our engagement pictures. We are a very laid back couple and he made it extremely easy to relax the entire time!

He captured the most important and special parts of our wedding day. Our pictures turned out amazing!! Going to have a hard time picking out the ones to showcase in our home. His sense of humor made those stressful times more relaxing. I would highly recommend Grant to photograph your wedding!!!

If you are looking for someone to capture the most important day of your life, Grant is your guy! He is amazing to work with, he makes you feel completely comfortable and you almost forget he's taking a million photos of you! And somehow he gets them to come out looking fantastic! Him and his assistant Nicolette work so well together, and they both are just great people, that I could trust within 5 minutes of meeting them. They did our engagement session and our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. I promise if you choose GWP as your wedding photographer you will not regret it!!

Grant was recommended to my husband and me - and we couldn't be more pleased! He photographed our engagement session and wedding day.

With both days, he went above and beyond to make sure we got great shots. We had some idea of what we wanted (which he made sure to get) but mostly we were open to his ideas, which were incredibly creative and turned out beautifully!

Grant truly captured the essence of our day. Also, he and his assistant, Nicolette, were pleasures to be around.

With this high quality work, you won't find a better deal! Highly recommended!!

Grant did both my engagement and wedding photos and I was so pleased with everything. He was so quick to respond to my e-mails and very nice to work with. He is a true professional in both his demeanor and photography abilities. He was very flexible with times, locations, and very open to my ideas. He was there for the entire wedding day from nearly 8 am until 10pm! He caught every moment you could want. My family was so very happy with his performance at my wedding because of his interaction with guests, family, and wedding party, and the quality of his work. Grant and his assistant Nicolette were a great team and such a pleasure to work with. If you want a photographer who actually takes an interest in getting to know you and giving you what you want, this is your guy!

Grant Watkins Photography was absolutely such a great choice!! We couldn't have asked for better! Grant was fun and outgoing and really made us feel comfortable from the beginning. He was also very professional and timely in everything he did. He got a lot of timeless, beautiful photos all day long (as well as awesome engagement pictures). Grant was all up in the mix of things at the wedding reception and got a lot of fun (and funny) pictures! His assistant did a fabulous job as well! The price we paid for the value of what we got was amazing! We definitely recommend Grant Watkins Photography!

When my Husband and I began searching for the perfect photographer for our special day, we wanted to find someone who was creative, talented, and was easy to get along with. Grant surpassed all of our expectations in these categories and so many more. He is very passionate about his photography and it shows in the photos that he takes. He took the time to ask what our expectations were and always got back to us in a very timely manner. We are so happy with our wedding pictures and are so happy that we chose Grant as our photographer. I have already recommended several people to use Grant for their photography needs and will keep referring people his way. We will most defiantly be using him in the future!!

Grant did such an amazing job with our wedding pictures! We searched for a couple months for someone who did great work, was reasonably priced, and was easy to be around. Grant matched the personality of the photographer we were looking for and his work was top notch! His prices were also exactly what we needed to match our budget. He was easy to get ahold of, answered emails and phone calls promptly, and had great ideas in order to make our dream pictures a reality. We look forward to working with him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone needing professional photography done.

Words cannot even explain how pleased my husband and I were with Grant's photography. Our experience began with our engagement photos. During our initial consultation I felt like Grant really listened to what we were looking for in our pictures. The first thing Grant told us the day of our engagement pictures was that he had been doing a lot of research on the country-casual pictures we were wanting, and had come up with some great ideas!! Adam and I had such a fun time taking our engagement pictures, and Grant really did a wonderful job of capturing all of the "us" moments that we had! I didn't think it was possible to have better pictures---until I saw our wedding pictures!!

Grant seemed very eager to start taking pictures of the girls getting ready at 7:00 am! My friends and I can be a bit crazy from time-to-time, so I thought for sure he would be sick of us before it was ever time to start taking formal pictures. He was a trooper through all of it, captured the true craziness that takes place with my friends and I, as well as all of the sentimental moments with all of my family. I knew during the process of taking pictures that he was capturing a lot of great shots, but I could have never imagined how great they really are. I have had so many compliments on the wonderful job he did, and so many people ask if he knew us prior to taking our pictures--because he sure knew how to portray our personalities in pictures!!!!

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Grant to anyone looking for a photographer, and plan to use him in the future for all of our family pictures!!

My husband and I are extremely pleased with Grant Watkins Photography! Grant is great to work with and listens to your ideas. He took us to new and beautiful locations for our engagement session and gave us multiple photos to work with. It was wonderful having Grant the entire wedding day. We have so many wonderful photos to look back at. I have had many friends ask were I had my photos done; and have recommended Grant. The photography packages are a great price and I love that I have the rights to my photos! I will continue to use this company for future family photos and more! I would highly recommend Grant Watkins Photography to everyone!

My husband David and I couldn't be more pleased with Grant Watkins Photography. Having known Grant since high school, I watched his talent develop over the years and did not at all hesitate to contact him when David and I first got engaged. After only one brief meeting with my husband and I beforehand, Grant captured David and I's special connection perfectly in our engagement photos and really set the scene for what was to come. His correspondence in the weeks leading up to the wedding was organized and methodical; he asked all of the important questions upfront and was flexible to our tweaks or additions to the plans.
The morning of the wedding Grant arrived early and immediately began documenting the day's events. His non-intrusive and relaxed presence was greatly appreciated as he made a point of connecting with each of our family members and the wedding party and helped everyone feel comfortable in front of his lens. Even during the more stressful and hurried moments of the day, Grant remained calm, kept us on task, and kept shooting (even in 105 degree heat!). At the reception he continued working, politely turning down my persistent begging for him to ditch the camera and join us on the dance floor.
After the wedding Grant kept his promise and quickly put a few photos on Facebook and published the complete album of photos to his website only a few short weeks later!

I would recommend Grant Watkins Photography to anyone and everyone. All thanks to Grant's artistic talent and hard work, David and I will be able to re-visit and cherish the most intimate and happy moments of our wedding for years to come. Not only does Grant take beautiful photographs, but he is a fun-loving and friendly guy and a professional in every sense of the word. We can't thank him enough!
- Andrea and David Frazier

My wife and I decided to go with Grant for a couple reasons. First, he did my sisters wedding (10/10/10) and they had nothing but stellar comments about how well the photographs turned out as well as his professionalism. We had also heard that from a couple other friends that used his services. Well the day of our wedding was of course stressful, but the pictures can be the MOST stressful since you only get one chance... Hopefully that is! Well Grant was very well prepared and he has a true gift for his mental imagery and being able to take the right picture in the right way. He is very industrious and takes great pride in his craft which is just an added bonus. Grant was us so much throughout the day and delivered candid pictures that we are more than happy with. I do not have any other background with other photographers, but I highly recommend Grant Watkins based on attentiveness, professionalism and the price was right too! Thank you Grant for being able to share in our most important day!

Grant did a wonderful job with our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I were very pleased with every aspect of his work. The album we received with our package was beautiful and he did a great job arranging the photos! I would highly recommend Grant as your photographer, he was so easy to get along with. I had several friends that also contacted Grant for wedding and family portraits after they saw his work with our wedding.

Grant Watkins is a phenominal photographer!! Our wedding was absolutely spectacular and he helped make that possible! I would recommend him to everyone I know whether it be a wedding, senior pictures, engagement pictures, family pictures, etc....he would be fabulous! Not only did he take amazing pictures but he is also an amazing person. He takes his work very seriously and cares about his bride and groom very much. He was literally there from start to finish and took pictures of me getting my hair done all the way to the end with everyone at the reception on the dance floor! If you do not hire Grant Watkins as your photographer you will be sorry and will be missing out on phenomenal pictures and an awesome experience! :)

Grant was AMAZING to work with!!!!! My husband and I were more than pleased with Grant Watkin's photography! He provided photography services starting with our engagement photo session, which turned out beautfully....even the shots of us with our two dogs! :) He then spent the entire wedding day with us, from getting ready to far into the reception price, we could not have asked for better results! And his prices were FANTASTIC! We are amazed at all the wonderful shots that were captured and we would definitely recommend his services to friends and family.

My husband and I were more than pleased with Grant Watkin's photography! He provided photography services for the entire wedding day, from getting ready to the reception for an extremely reasonable price. Literally thousands of dollars less than many of my friends paid!! He had another photographer with him to ensure that many natural moments were caught as well, and we could not have asked for better results! We are amazed at all the wonderful shots that were captured and we would definitely recommend his services to friends and family.

Grant was FANTASTIC! I had so much fun taking engagement pictures and wedding pictures with him. He is such an easy-going photographer, I never felt stressed once taking pictures. He sees his vision and goes for it. I definitely loved Grants work and have recommended him to several people, they will not be disappointed in him or his work!

Grant was absolutely wonderful to work with. He makes you feel relaxed when he is behind the camera. He is a standup, trustworthy guy and we could'nt be happier with the service and results that he gave. Our wedding was in July and it was 113 degrees that day. One of the air conditioners broke at our reception venue, but you can't tell any of that from looking at our pictures. I was amazed at Grant's talent with the camera! Grant gave 110%, charged well under what he should have, and was one of the last people to leave the wedding. It was comforting to know that on the most important day of our lives, we had someone that we could truly count on to capture our memories.

I cannot say how pleased my husband and I are with how our engagement and wedding photographs turned out. The quality is amazing and exactly what we hoped for. Grant managed to capture every beautiful moment we experienced on our wedding day. From pre-wedding jitters….to the ceremony…to the cutting of the cake…to the bouquet and garter toss, Grant captured all those moments and more! My husband and I so thankful to have such amazing memories we can look at every day!

We live out of state so all the planning of our day was done via skype and phone. From our very first call, we knew trusting Grant with our wedding photos was the right decision. By the time we finally met in person (on our wedding day), it felt as though we were welcoming a friend to capture the day. Grant and his assistant were friendly, creative and extremely professional. We are very pleased with the results and would recommend his services to anyone.

Grant did a wonderful job capturing my wedding day. He was there from the very beginning of the day to show us at the salon getting prepped for the day, to the time things started to wind down at the reception. There were 3 key components I looked for when choosing a photographer, I wanted the rights to the photos, I wanted them there all day, and I wanted them to take great pictures. Grant met all these qualities and then surpassed them by offering his packages at exceptional prices. I didn't feel like I had to mortgage my house just to pay for a photographer!

Grant took our photos for our engagement and our wedding. He went above and beyond any expectations that we had! He is so flexible and easy to work with! He did an outstanding job capturing the emotion of the wedding day in his photos, which was very important to me as the day flies by. We had a very large wedding and he coordinated everything well. His pictures showed the nerves of getting ready, the incredible "reveal," the first dances, and everything in between. He made all of the "picture taking" of the wedding day enjoyable, and his pictures are something that we will always hold close to our hearts! Such awesome memories of our special day!

We could not have been any happier with our decision to have Grant, and his second photographer Courtney, as part of our big day! We were looking for a high quality, reasonably priced photographer with great coverage and a second shooter, and Grant was the perfect fit for all of those requirements! Grant was so easy to contact and coordinate with before, and made sure everything ran perfectly from our engagement pictures to the last moments at the reception. They even traveled a few hours away to our location for no extra charge, and fit perfectly into the plan of our day while being a total blast to have around. Not a minute was out of place, and Grant kept us calm and running smoothly all day. We have been so happy with every photo we received from him so far. We received our engagements pictures back in a few weeks, and we got a HUGE sneak-peak album just the day after the wedding! I can not say enough wonderful things about these two. If we had to do it all over, I would choose Grant to be our photographer again in a heartbeat!

Grant is very talented and so fun to be around! We absolutely loved working with him for our engagement and wedding photos. He put both of us at ease during the photos making it a stress-free experience. Grant was also very willing to work with us on making sure the wedding day was perfectly planned based off his experiences at past weddings. While Grant was taking photos of the wedding party he was able to get the groomsmen to be expressive and look excited in the photos. Which was no easy task.

The quality and quantity of photos we received was absolutely amazing. He captured so many (700+) priceless moments from our special day.

I'd highly recommend Grant to anybody AND will use him for any family photos we need done in the future.

Grant is such an amazing photographer! Rather than making you pose forever, Grant gets the shot within a few of snaps of his camera. He has great ideas and is always scanning the scenery. He is very professional, but also very easy to like and get along with. During the whole day, he made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. His photos are nothing short of amazing, and the best part is how affordable he is. My husband and I have enjoyed working with Grant, and we've recommended him to many friends and family.

Grant is a very personable yet professional photographer who really listens to what his clients want and going beyond their expectations. He was very flexible with his meeting times and delivered our finished photos just a few weeks after our wedding. We are extremely happy that we were able to hire Grant to photograph our wedding and we would definitely recommend his business to anyone else looking for an engagement/wedding photographer.

Very upbeat, friendly guy, and very professional as well. He was always on time, always responded to emails and phone calls quickly, and his photos are awesome! We couldn't be happier with the service he provided, and we would recommend him to anyone in the Manhattan area.

Photos all in one

Grants photos are great. He was responsive, helpful and up front with what to expect from the photos and what needed to be done which was amazingly helpful! PLUS his personality makes everything so much easier because you don't feel awkward! I loved that we were able to get engagement photos, wedding photos, and order any prints we want all in one place and with one person!

The only downfall was the wedding video that ended up being fully refunded after a few months of trying to work it out because we were extremely disappointed in it's choppy editing and the song choice (that we were not involved in) which ended up with no original sounds from the day being heard.

Wonderful Wedding Photographer

From the moment I contacted Grant he was so personable! You can tell he loves what he does and has a passion for photography. He was always willing to work with us since we did not live in the same city and was very flexible with trying to make it work with everyone's schedule. He has great vision and did an amazing job getting to know us during the engagement session, so he could get even better wedding photos. I am very happy a friend recommended him to us, and I would be glad to recommend him as well.

Grant was absolutely amazing! He definitely takes the extra time to get to know you in order to create a photography experience that works with you and your significant others personalities. He's laid back but maintains excellent professionalism. What I loved most is that even though he's pretty popular and shoots almost every weekend, he works quickly and efficiently to get your photos back to you. I'm not saying it's the same with every couple, but we received our wedding photos in less than a month! Sure, he's a higher priced photographer, but you definitely get what you pay for and more. WELL WORTH IT. Would highly recommend to friends and family, and anyone looking for excellent photography!

I cannot recommend Grant enough! An easygoing individual, he is incredibly easy to work with and goes above and beyond to make a bride feel relaxed and comfortable on her wedding day. Following two meetings prior to the wedding day, I felt very comfortable working with Grant and his assistant day of. My husband and I and our wedding party all had a great time taking pictures and really enjoyed our experience overall.

Grant was wonderful to work with. He was easy to get in contact with and was very flexible. The candids from the ceremony are some of our most treasured images. Overall we were very pleased with the value and quality of the service. As I look through my images there are images that seem to be missing (no photo of my husband and his father). In retrospect I wish that we would have worked from a list of photos we wanted to insure that all all shots we wanted were taken. It was something that Grant and I discussed but was not carried out. We will absolutely recommend Grant to family and friends. We had a positive experience and were pleased overall.

Wedding Photos

We came across Grant's work while searching for a photographer for our wedding. We liked his photo style with clean edits. We planned our wedding from across the country, so meeting face to face was not an option. Our first face time call was a success. We were able to build a relationship that made us feel comfortable having him photograph us for the first time on our wedding day. He was quick, fun, and very easy to work with. The photos did take a little longer than we expected to receive, but overall we are very happy with our photos and are glad we went with Grant for our big day!
