I’m Grace, a Rhode Island based wedding photographer that focuses in a mix of digital and film photographic storytelling.

I’ve always loved stories. As english grad, I loved reading them, dissecting them, honoring them– offering a unique approach to capturing clients’ story tales.

I fell in love with photography and intentionally being able to use this medium as my own lens, literally and metaphorically. Each wedding I shoot, each couple main characters in their story… I get to help make that tangible for them in a way that day lives on forever. I help be a part of telling their tale and bring their vision to life. There’s nothing worth more than that to me.

With a focus on artistically capturing details & your love organically and naturally, a documentary with a slight artsy, editorial edge is how we roll– our goal is to capture wedding days in the true art they are, grounded in emotive connection amongst loved ones.

When I’m not capturing a wedding day, you can catch me by the ocean with my two year old son, Connor ( with an iced coffee in hand).

. When we look back on our wedding day, we most remember her as someone who showed up for us, and brought so much joy and light into the event. The photos she took are truly incredible, and we are forever grateful to have had someone as wonderful as her be part of our wedding.

Sara & Dylan

Hire Grace for your wedding—you won’t regret it! Grace photographed my bridal shower and wedding and went above and beyond! She brought my wedding vision to life in a way I could’ve never even imagined! Throughout the wedding planning process, she was so supportive and helped me with so many things like picking out details for the flat lay and making a timeline for the wedding. On the big day, she was so positive and calming. She helped everyone feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera! Every photo from our wedding was STUNNING and she captured every detail beautifully. I am so thankful that she was there to capture these big moments in my life!

Erica & Alex

My husband hired Grace as a surprise for when he proposed. I was in shock when he was proposing and she popped out of the bushes! Despite how flustered I was, she was able to give us great direction for the photos and they came out beautifully. We knew we wanted to have her be our wedding photographer after that and she did not disappoint! Our wedding photos came out so beautifully and I just love how Grace has such a calming presence. We both don't always feel very natural in front of the camera and her photos made us look like models. She had a second shooter with her who was also amazing, very professional and great at coaching us during the photos. They were both so encouraging and made us feel very comfortable. The dream team! I can't say enough good things about Grace and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sydney & James

We’ve received countless compliments on our wedding photos—everyone loves how beautifully she captured the love and joy of our big day. We hired Grace for our Welcome Cruise, Reception, and After Party, and she exceeded all expectations. She had an incredible knack for capturing intimate couple moments as well as candid shots of our family and friends, perfectly preserving the spirit of the weekend. Grace’s photography style is the perfect balance of trendy and timeless. She has an amazing ability to tell each couple’s unique story through her lens. She even made my camera-shy husband feel comfortable and confident during our couple portraits! Leading up to the wedding, she was flexible and accommodating with our schedule changes, and on the big day, she powered through challenging weather conditions without missing a beat. She also provided sneak peeks within a couple days of our wedding; and shared the full album a couple months after our wedding day. We’re already looking forward to having Grace capture our future family milestones. If you’re lucky enough to find her available for your wedding, RUN—don’t walk—to book her!!
