Graddy Photography

work with on the big day and our pictures are amazing!! Our wedding party enjoyed spending time with him. He really captured the tone of our wedding and the beauty of our venue. We could not be any happier with our photos! I would recommend graddy photography to any couple for their wedding day! Thank you so much Chrissy and Justin!

and offering advice for our wedding day schedule. Justin's shots are incredible. He has a wonderful eye for detail and beautiful pictures. His confidence and coordination throughout the day allowed us to relax and know that our special day was being captured by the very best. We will forever be grateful for the dedication and stunning work that this team achieves. Thank you Chrissy and Justin. We cannot wait to work with you again!

kind, friendly, and the pictures are UNBELIEVABLE. One of the bigger investments of our wedding but I would make this decision a hundred times again. The pictures don't just capture the moment but the emotion felt at that moment, and this makes the pictures so much more beautiful and heartfelt. They also felt more like friends than a vendor. They were phenomenal to work with and I highly recommend them!

wn wedding {someday}. Years later when that day came, Graddy was the first contact I made to determine date availability-- and I was thrilled we found a date that aligned. Justin and Chrissy are professional, attentive and super laid back--- this was beneficial for my husband as and I as we are not always the most comfortable in front of the camera. I didn't know how our engagement photos could be outdone but our wedding photos are AMAZING! Justin did a great job of capturing all the special moments, especially the candid shots, not only of the two of us but also of our family and guests. If you are considering a wedding photographer, your search just ended-- book Graddy, I promise you will be forever thankful you did!

eative. My entire wedding party loved him and I thank him for being so patient with our HUGE family. He is definitely the Best photographer in Minnesota for a reason!

y wedding even before I was engaged! Chrissy was always so helpful and quick to respond to my emails throughout the whole process. Justin is extremely talented and so personable. When he arrived on our wedding day he took charge and made sure we stayed on schedule. Justin captured every detail from our special day. I honestly don’t know how he does it! We love our engagement and wedding photos! If you are looking for a wedding photographer that does nothing but the best check out Graddy Photography.

ding day, so I was pretty bummed in the morning - but Justin came and made the day perfect. He captured every moment! For photos my wedding party & I were under umbrellas or awnings and he was in the rain, sometimes even laying on the wet ground to get the best angle - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! And Chrissy was the best wedding vendor to communicate with, I had many questions along the way and she was always quick to respond, regardless of the day or time and she was always happy to answer any question I had (no matter what it was). She really made me feel relaxed planning my wedding and they took care of everything. They are very professional and to top it off, are extremely talented. If I did my wedding over again, I know Chrissy & Justin would be again the first thing I would book - they definitely deserve every award they have been given, because they are absolutely the best in the industry. Thank you Chrissy & Justin for giving us photos to remember our special day for years to come!

- Justin couldn't have done a better job capturing our wedding day!

senior pictures many years back and knew that I ABSOLUTELY HAD to use them again when I got married. They were the only vendor I was set on having and it was for good reason. They were the first vendor we booked even though we didn't have a venue yet, we just couldn't risk not having them capture our day. I would have planned my whole wedding around them if I had to- Justin is that incredible. Simply put they are an amazing team and their work is incredible. Our pictures are gorgeous and I keep getting amazing comments on how fabulous they are. Chrissy is always quick to respond to questions and gives so many options to fit your budget. She makes the whole process easy. Justin is so talented and deserves every amount of recognition he gets. He seemlessly blended in with everyone at the wedding and helped keep everything on schedule the whole day. He has an amazing eye for capturing truly unique and beautiful photos and we are so lucky to have worked with him. If there is one thing you have to have for your wedding it's Justin and Chrissy!

timeline ready to go after I told them how many hours of photography we wanted, and Justin knew our venue like the back of his hands so when it came to taking group photos it went so smoothly. We LOVE our photos and are very impressed with them all, especially the night shots!

Best farm photos EVER! His wife Chrissy was always willing to answer my questions and was extremely responsive. They are the best team, and I can't imagine our day without them. You're a fool if you don't hire them.

ou as and when we could. We just love the pictures and feel Justin was really able to capture what we were looking for on our special day. Thank you!!

tin did just that. The images are breathtaking. We also appreciated Justin's ability to get big family photos quickly. It made the day move so smoothly. Also, amidst a hectic day, Justin's calm demeanor and ease made everything so fun and effortless. From communication to creative execution everything really was perfect. We were so appreciative of suggestions for creative shots (which turned out fantastic). All in all is was a flawless experience and we highly recommend Graddy Photography.

d. He and his wife Chrissy were a joy to work with. It made our day even that much more special.

lanning one day, it makes sense that you'd want fantastic pictures to remember it by. We chose Graddy Photography based on their past photos and phenomenal reviews - and they were phenomenal! We have absolutely loved looking through our wedding photos, and are so excited to get our wedding album. Countless people have told us how amazing our wedding pictures are, based just on the preview put up on facebook by the Graddy Photography page. We decided to hire both Justin and Chrissy for the entire day, which was great. We were able to get multiple angles, it made it easier to do multiple locations, quicker set up for church formals and posed pictures, etc. Highly recommend!!!

ppy to have these treasured memories for years to come. Thanks Justin and Chrissy!

detailed in her wedding day preparation emails to me. When I met Justin on my wedding day, he was also friendly, professional, and immediately put my husband and me at ease. My friends refer to Justin as the "stealth ninja photographer" because most of the time you couldn't see him on the wedding day, but he somehow managed to snap perfectly timed pictures from just the right angles. Our photos turned out beautifully and my husband and I couldn't be happier. The photos truly capture the joy and happiness of our wedding day. Getting our photos taken never seemed awkward, forced, or intrusive; on the contrary, the experience was fun, natural, and spontaneous. I would highly recommend Graddy Photography to all of my friends and family.

ts to happen! From the initial meetings talking about the "game plan," to the actual day of, Justin and Chrissy were so accommodating and really took to heart what was most important to my now husband and me. They were there to make our day what we wanted it to be. And to top it off, the pictures are absolutely stunning! One of my favorite things was that Justin made sure to make the most of our time together: if he could get the best, more glamorous shot in one location, he didn't waist our time moving to another spot, which in the long run made it possible to do a ton amazing photos with different combinations of people. I felt like a princess, and my now husband had a great time working with Justin! Thank you thank you for giving us amazingly beautiful pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime :)

e both very easy to work with throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, Justin knew the venue well and was incredibly efficient. He managed to capture every detail and emotion of the day. We are so thrilled to have such beautiful memories of our wedding day and we highly recommend Graddy Photography!

ngagement and wedding, and we would highly recommend Graddy Photography to any future couples!

tremely talented, but personable and will make you feel right at home during your photo shoots. Chrissy and Justin make a great duo! Not only were we extremely pleased with our wedding pictures, my husband and I have received a great deal of compliments from family and friends. I promise, you will not regret booking with Graddy Photography!

. We also appreciated that whenever we had a question Chrissy was quick to respond. We would highly recommend them! If we ever need photos taken in the future, we will be going to them.

pending the money on a great photographer!

pressed and would recommend him to anyone who can afford it. We know the price we paid was on the higher end, but worth it and in years to come, it will be priceless!

ent photos were amazing-we still get tons of compliments from family & friends. We got married in July, and of course like every other weekend it did rain...the one thing that really made me nervous! Justin was laid back and reassured us that there was a lot of great photos and that we would have plenty! My only regret is not taking a few more once the sun came out on our patio area of the reception-mainly because we were just more laid back at that time :) Overall, we received our photos and they were as Justin said, a lot of great photos! We would recommend Graddy to anyone! Chrissy was a absolute doll and helped answer questions quickly too, no matter how many I had! We are so glad we chose Graddy to capture our big day. Hopefully we will see them in the future for family photos!

r, they are quick to respond and very professional. Our pictures from our engagement shoot and wedding are gorgeous, Justin truly captured memories and moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. My husband and I both agree that this was the best investment we made for our wedding, we were thrilled with our results and will recommend them to anyone getting married!

ry! Chrissy and Justin truly care about every client they meet and have the opportunity to work with! They are THE BEST wedding vendor we had the chance to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process! Chrissy responds to all questions as soon as she can and helps guide the timeline of the whole wedding day perfectly and with Justin's amazing talents behind the camera we never once needed to question the quality of his work - we just knew everything would turn out amazing! :) If you are looking for a photographer to capture the best wedding photos I highly reccomend choosing Graddy Photography - truly happy we choose them!

eginning Chrissy was prompt in replying to emails, and gave us great advice about timelines and other questions along the way. The photos Justin took on our wedding day turned out even better than we imagined- we were absolutely blown away! He is so good at what he does that we hardly knew he was there, yet looking at our photos he captured every single moment of our day. We are so thankful to have such breathtaking photos to look back on to remember the best day of our lives. I recommend Graddy Photography to anyone and everyone!! They truly are the best!

ts and cost breakdown of their wedding packages, along setting up the wedding day schedule. Justin was an awesome photographer! He braved negative 30 degree weather to do outside engagement pictures and 90 degrees for the wedding ~ and all the pictures turned out amazing! Additionally, Justin took great pictures during our wedding and reception without getting in the way or disturbing the festivities! Overall, they were great to work with and we highly recommend them!

g process. That was very important to me, as with so many vendor details to keep track of, they were so organized and made the pre-planning work so simple. They were excited for us and truly invested in us as a couple. We didn't just feel like one of many weddings they were shooting. It was not only fun to work with them, but they are professional and passionate about what they do. Chrissy really helps set up the details and gives their professional advice to make the days photos run smoothly so you can just enjoy the day. The day of the wedding was perfect. He knows exactly what shots to take, has unique and different ideas, and is efficient so you don't feel like your day is dominated with taking photos all day. I was so thrilled with all he was able to capture..everything from the emotional moments, to the intimate family moments, to the small details of the wedding decor...he captured it all perfectly. Thank you Justin & Chrissy for photographing our day! You captured the moments perfectly...and we will love looking at these photos and re-living the day for years to come!!

ortant it would be to create timeless photos that we could treasure for the rest of our lives. Needless to say Graddy has gone above and beyond this! Justin somehow made us unbelievable comfortable it was like being photographed by a friend and his work is astounding. Chrissy has also been amazing, in a world of constant movement and deadlines she made the planning process so very easy! We never really worked in person, but Chrissy helped me with picking a package, creating a timeline for the day, and choosing a videographer. We picked Graddy for many reasons, but one is that they treat their customers well and value your time and wishes. There are no words to describe the beauty of the photos Justin took the day of the wedding. Our wedding party had decided to stop at a lake in-between the ceremony and reception for photos and Justin was such a calming presence, yet managed to direct everyone in a way that seemed effortless and produced amazing group shoots. The other thing I was looking for in a wedding photographer was an ability to capture candid moments throughout the day. Justin listened to everything that my husband and I said and was able to produce wedding photos that have all the personality of us as a couple. We are so very grateful that we chose Graddy and you will be too if you choose to work with this amazing duo! We've truly been so very happy with their work and I know my husband and I look forward to using Graddy for all our photography needs in the future!

’s work and immediately knew he was who we wanted to photograph our wedding. We were fortunate that he still had availability for a date that aligned with our venue. Chrissy was fantastic at answering all of our questions, always very quick to reply, and provided us with valuable insight into the timings of the day itself (we did not have a wedding coordinator to advise us of this). The engagement photos gave us an opportunity to meet Justin and get used to being photographed. He was very easy-going, yet professional, and made us feel instantly comfortable. Photos were the most important thing to me and I had confidence in Justin's abilities based on past photos, and he did not disappoint. On the day of, he captured everything we could have hoped for and more, and are thrilled with our photos! Personally, Justin and Chrissy were a pleasure to work with and were a very special part of our day.

didn’t just look like pictures, they look like art. Many people said “these pictures should be in a magazine”. Not only were the pictures gorgeous, but Justin and Chrissy are great to work with. Chrissy answers all correspondence extremely quickly, even when they are on vacation! Justin was able to line up the wedding party very quickly and efficiently to get amazing shots in a short period of time, so the guests wouldn’t have to wait too long at cocktail hour before they arrived. I already knew Justin was an extremely talented photographer, but the thing that surprised me the most was that he was almost invisible while he took all these pictures! I didn’t even see him at all during the wedding ceremony. I had a momentary minute of panic, but I had seen him right before the ceremony – so I was guessing he must be there somewhere! He never interrupted the flow of the wedding or the reception by getting in the way or trying to setup pictures during important moments, like I have seen many other photographers do. At one point he was perched on his toes on the edge of a very tall stadium wall to get pictures of wedding party in the stands at the stadium, so he will go pretty far to get a great picture! All of their pricing was very clear and we got our pictures back more quickly than we expected! They also have the preview pictures posted very quickly, which is great because the waiting was the hardest part! When my Mom saw the pictures she was so excited she said “he was worth every penny we paid him”, even though she hadn’t paid him at all! Our whole family was extremely happy with the wedding pictures and we will enjoy these pictures the rest of our lives! We would be happy to recommend them to anyone!

th their talent and vision. From the first interaction, to wrapping everything up at the end, their kindness, confidence, talent, and easy-going attitude were more than we could've asked for from a photographer. On our wedding day, Justin worked quickly, but we were never rushed. He captured moments that I didn't even realize were happening at the time. He worked so well with our group - we had so many laughs and I'm so glad they were captured in our photos. And Chrissy was so easy to work with in setting everything up. She helped us figure out our timeline and gave great advice - this was definitely a big help as the big day was approaching. They're the total package. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out - the photos themselves, and the customer service we received. We had a perfect wedding day, and I'm so grateful that it was also captured so perfectly.

th the more logistical aspects. Somehow Justin managed to capture every moment of our wedding day in the most beautiful way, really allowing the emotions to shine through. He is calm, cool, and collected - you will barely even know that he is there. But don't let that fool you, the photos will speak for themselves. Chrissy was on top of all of the logistical things in the most delightful way. She is super flexible and understanding. Our photos and experience working with Graddy was more amazing than we could have imagined :) The investment is totally worth it, and if in fact the photography is where you choose to do that, you will not at all be disappointed.

We were extremely happy with him choosing Northfield as our location for our engagement pictures. We would not have considered that location for we were looking at more downtown Minneapolis or Minnehaha falls. His comment was "You see those backdrops all the time". If you want something different, Northfield has a lot great shooting locations! Great advise. The wedding photo's turned out amazing. We are so happy with the end results. Thank you Graddy. We will definitely recommend you!

d even more than we expected. We felt as if we could enjoy our entire day while Justin directed and lead the bridal party without adding any undue stress, creating photographs that mean so much to us. We have been nothing but impressed from the engagement photos to wedding with Graddy Photography's ability to capture meaningful moments in a creative and classy manner. Thanks to you we'll always remember what fun we had and how blessed we are. Thanks for being there and for all of your hard work!

he day of the wedding, Justin worked quickly and got many amazing shots. Within 48 hours after the wedding we already had a sneak peek. I couldn't believe how beautiful the photos were and how quickly we got to view them. Our full gallery of photos was available soon after and our album was turned around quickly as well. Service has been exceptional and people can't stop talking about how amazing our pictures are. Both Justin and Chrissy are wonderful to work with!

sponding so quickly to every question and they both were willing to do whatever we needed based on the ify weather. Justin moved with great speed and got so many great shots. It's nice because they share frame by frame with you so you can see every moment. They are timely, professional, and talented I strongly recommend them for any type of photo session.

rofessional. There were times we didn't even know he was there, but he captured every special moment. Chrissy was so great to work with. She kept us informed and answered all of our questions. The first thing we did when we got back from our honeymoon (literally we were still sitting on the airplane) was check out our sneak peek photos. We were absolutely blown away! To our delight the gallery of all of our photos was just as amazing. The love and emotion that Justin was able to capture is outstanding. The day seemed to go by so fast and it is so nice to look back and relive our wedding day all over! We would absolutely recommend using Graddy Photography, you will not be disappointed!

heir work speaks for itself. They don't take pictures, they capture moments and turn them into art; I've truly never seen anything like it. The emotion shines through in the pictures the take; looking at my images brings me right back to that exact moment. Booking them for our wedding (well in advance!) was one of our best decisions. Because of them, we will be able to have moments from that day with us for forever. Thank you guys for your flawless work and for your kind, easy going nature...you were a huge part of our perfect day.

f time to thoroughly research our choice of photographer! While diligently comparing all of the prominent photographers in the Minneapolis area, Graddy Photography kept rising to the top. We were thrilled when we booked them and our excitement continued to increase as we followed their amazing work throughout our engagement year. Chrissy Graddy went above and beyond our expectations with her prompt and detailed responses. She helped us customize a photography package to fit our wedding day schedule of events. We are SO very glad we ultimately decided to book two photographers/shooters from Graddy (both Justin and Chrissy took photos). Not only was it awesome to have two angles and two cameras shooting at all times, but Chrissy felt like a long-time friend, stepping up to the plate helping with logistics, on-the-fly decision making and answering various wedding-day questions. I specifically remember her by my side, calming me, the moment before the “first look.” Justin Graddy was a true professional throughout the entire process. He impressed us during our engagement session with how personable he is and how he took time to help us narrow down our list of vendors we had yet to book. On our wedding day, we felt so confident that we were getting the very best pictures and that he was capturing all the special moments. He is amazingly discreet and we were surprised to discover how many moments he captured that day. To top it off, when our caterer ran into timing issues prior to the first dance, Justin stepped in and calmly reassured us that he would stay longer in order to capture the first dances as we had originally discussed. Incredible. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding pictures from Graddy Photography. Our family and friends continue to comment about our incredible pictures, how well Graddy Photography captured the “feel” of our wedding day and how the images look like they are from a magazine. We feel so grateful to have found such wonderful people who do truly amazing work. We recommend Graddy Photography without hesitation and plan to hire them again in the future to capture life’s most memorable moments.

fessional when I stained my dress purple (AHHH!). He was so kind and let us take some pictures of the bridesmaids by themselves so I felt like something was being accomplished while I was busy trying not to hyperventilate about my dress! All my guests was talking about how professional he was and how we hardly knew he was there - he wasn't intrusive or in anybody's way ever, yet he managed to get shots of everything important it seems! Also, Chrissy was so kind, honest, and helpful through all her emailing and advice! My husband and I are so happy with our choice!
