Capturing memories

From our first call, I knew Sally was the one. I work in marketing, so photography is incredibly important to me, and I don’t take choosing a photographer lightly. Sally’s aunt is great friends with my mom, and she suggested I reach out to her. Turns out, I also went to college with her cousin, so our connection was already kismet. We talked for over an hour—a conversation that started with Sally sharing that she shoots wedding photos for an album, not for Instagram. And with that, I was done searching! (Though the final product was certainly very Instagrammable 😉) Fast forward to the day of the wedding, Sally eased right in with my raucous group of friends and family who were celebrating with us. Her relaxed and calm demeanor made me, the bride, feel relaxed and calm. During his getting-ready shots, she even coaxed some smiles out of my stoic groom, who was very much out of his comfort zone. He later shared praises of Sally, too, which might mean even more than my own! 😂 She worked her tail off at our ceremony and reception, capturing true, organic moments of love and celebration between the two of us and our family and friends. When we received the photos, I could literally feel the love and happiness pouring out of them—without over-filtering (though she may have worked on a few lines here and there, which was appreciated as an older bride!). I cannot speak highly enough of Sally and what she captured for us on a truly magical day. She is very special ❤️

Sally was the photographer for our 200 person wedding in South Carolina, and she was amazing! The finished product felt like a story book, and she was able to capture the energy of the day beautifully. Your photographer is such a big part of your wedding day, and Sally was the perfect balance of professional but lighthearted and fun - she was a joy to have around on such a big day!

Sally Gray Photography is a wedding photographer based in Brevard, NC, bringing over a decade of experience, an eye for subtlety, and a lot of very old, very cool cameras to couples who want something different on their wedding day. With an approach informed largely by analog film, Sally Gray offers wedding photography that is more than a service, but an experience- an invitation to slow down, love hard, and let your wedding day unfold as a living memory. "What I offer, at its core, is space for couples to experience being photographed in a way that feels unobtrusive, confidence-boosting, and fun. My job's absolute minimum is to capture beautiful images. The real fun begins when my clients feel like they can be grounded, totally themselves, and kinda sexy from the rehearsal dinner all the way to send off. Having your wedding photographed should be a fabulous memory in itself, and one I am wholly committed to making." - Sally Gray

Highlighted review.

I highly, highly recommend Sally Gray for her photography services. You will not find a better wedding photographer, period! Not only is Sally a joy to work with—she’s bubbly, brig...

ht, and genuinely cares—but she has talent. Talent for capturing special moments, for making you feel comfortable, for literally MAKING pockets of joy happen—and then catching them on film—and for truly encapsulating one’s vision. I knew what I wanted when it came to the photography of my wedding—a natural setting, beautiful bright lighting, a sultry but grounded feel—and Sally made it happen. No other photographer on this planet could have done what she did. I constantly look back at my wedding photos with a full heart and dropped jaw—because holy moly the images are truly spectacular! Sally was in it to win it. She provided consultations prior to the actual wedding day, where she listened intently to my needs and even asked questions I hadn’t thought of. She showed up on the wedding day ready to roll, with amazing ideas and direction. My husband felt comfortable, which is saying something—many men don’t feel comfy on camera. But he did, all thanks to Sally. She stayed for the celebrations with several cameras strapped on her body because she knew different moments needed different cameras. I mean, what other photographer takes such a high level of care?! None, in my experience. Sally made me feel beautiful, and even my guests said what a great presence she brought to the celebration. She didn’t disrupt the party but instead wove into it like she belonged. And she did! I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Sally, or about the insanely extravagant photo gallery she produced. I hope to work with her time and time again. If you’re looking for a charming, creative, spirited photographer to work with—look no further. Sally Gray is your girl.

I hired Sallie Gray to do my wedding photography and haven’t stopped hiring her since. I did not have a wedding coordinator and on the day of my wedding Sallie Gray asked me what ...

I wanted to do for photos. I told her that I wanted to make no more decisions for the rest of the day and she understood the assignment fully. I have told anyone that has asked that my nugget of advice for having a wedding is to have a photographer who is comfortable making decisions and will make the right ones; because that is what Sallie Gray did for us. Her photos turned out perfectly. They embodied our spirit and the energy in our relationship. She captured the little moments that I don’t think many photographers capture. She captured the giddy that we had for each other. I have since hired her to come back and photograph a day in the life with each child that has been born. I covet the photos that she has given us. I could not recommend her more.

Sally Gray has captured some of the most significant moments of my life, and she is the person I trust completely to document these memories for us. We had an intimate wedding ...

during the 2020 Covid days, and Sally Gray made us and our family feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during such an uncertain time. On top of that, our wedding photos are absolute perfection. After the birth of our beautiful boy, I knew exactly who I wanted to capture his newborn photos. Sally Gray didn’t just take the sweetest pictures of our baby, she documented a little piece of our life during that magical newborn bubble. Those are the moments I know we’ll treasure forever. Sally Gray has such a beautiful gift for visually telling our story. She captures the little moments, the emotions, and the feeling of a season in a way that feels so genuine to us. I can’t wait for her to capture many more memories for our family. We are so grateful to have her telling our story through her lens.
