Graddy Photography

My husband and I wanted pictures from our wedding day that we'd treasure forever. That's exactly why we chose Graddy Photography and we are ecstatic with the results! Justin has this unbelievalbe talent of capturing the excitement of all of the memorable moments of our big day. We were so comfortable around him and he was able to get some amazing shots of two not-so-photogenic people! He did a great job of getting all the shots we wanted in a short time. Justin is very professional, laid back, and extremely talented. The only regret I have is not having Graddy Photography with us for a longer period on our wedding day. We will definitely be customers of Graddy Photography in the future!

Graddy Photography has great service before, during, and after your event. Plus, they take great pictures. We had a wonderful experience with them. They really helped to capture our day.

Justin and Chrissy were great to work with, very prompt and helpful. We're very happy with our choice to have them capture our big day. Our wedding photos turned out awesome! Justin's style is unique and just what we were hoping to find. He chose some great locations, had creative ideas, and best of all, he was laid back and easy to work with on our wedding day. He was part of the reason everything flowed so well and he helped to make our day perfect. And we're happy with the results! He captured some priceless moments and expressions that we're thankful to have in pictures.Thanks for your great work, Justin and Chrissy! 5 stars!

Graddy Photography was AMAZING to work with. Justin is professional, detail-oriented, innovative, passionate and easy to work with, a perfect combination for what you need in a photographer. He is a natural. I had a chance to see some of his work from our big day, it brought me back to October 29th and I couldn't be happier. Last time I checked my vision was 20 20 which makes it easy for me to say that the choice is as clear as one of his photos. Work with Graddy Photography! Thanks for EVERYTHING Justin and Chrissy =)

We are so happy with our decision to book Graddy as our photographer for our wedding! After doing our research and contacting them for availability, we actually chose our wedding date based on what dates they still had available in October, 2011. So in other words we are sooooooooo happy that everything turned out so great. Justin and Chrissy were very prompt in responding to any questions we had throughout the whole process and trust me we had a lot! This was not the case with all other vendors we worked with for our wedding and we really appreciate how they do business. They captured moments during our wedding day that are priceless memories that we will now have for years to come (and not that "posed" stuff either). We couldn't be happier with our decision to book Graddy for our wedding and will be giving them a call when we are ready for our newborn photo session!

Justin and Chrissy were absolutely amazing not only during our wedding day, but for everything else leading up to it as well. We had TWO fantastic engagement photo shoots with them and I am doing a "Rock the Dress" session once we get back from our honeymoon. They are very professional, creative, personable, and respond in a VERY timely manner to e-mails which is very important!!! I have known that I have wanted to have Graddy's shoot our wedding for years and when that day came true I was pleasantly amazed....I would recommend that you book with them because pictures last a lifetime and these are ones you will want to keep forever!!

The moment I came across Graddy's gallery on the website, I knew I had to have Graddy Photography do our wedding. The photojournalistic style was just what I wanted...the images were eye catching and memorable. It turns out Justin is not only a phenomenal photographer, but fun, easy going, and easy to keep in touch with. The big day was filled with a lot of emotion, all of which Justin was able to capture for us to relive for years to come. The photos taken were beautiful, inventive, and soo meaningful to us. To be honest, they were everything we wanted and so much more. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go with Graddy...you won't be disappointed.

Graddy did a very nice job with our wedding, photos were phenomenal. We had many compliments on how nice our photos looked!

I would recommend Graddy Photography to anyone looking for a photographer (they do more than just weddings). Justin was a pleasure to work with from our initial meetings to the day of and helped us to capture our special moment to share with our family and friends. His style and eye are unmatched and the level of service they provided was not lacking in any way. Book him today, he fills up fast.

Graddy Photography did an amazing job covering our wedding! Justin was able to get so many wonderful shots of my husband and I along with our bridal party and family. The pictures are absolutely beautiful! He is so good at what he does! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos he was able to produce the exact type of pictures that we were hoping for. He really llistens to his clients and is able to capture their personalities through his work. I could not be happier with the photos from my wedding! I would highly recommend Graddy photography to any wanting any type of photos done. He truly is an amazing photographer and his work is the best I have seen years! Thank you so much Justin, Lonnie and I love our photos!

Graddy Photography did an amazing job capturing each moment of our wedding day!! They are very professional, and amazingly talented! We have enjoyed working with them and will be using them for many years to come!

What an amazing duo! Very easy to work with throughout the entire process as an out of state bride. Emails/phone calls were always returned very promptly. Justin shot our engagement session outside on a blistery cold winters day and got great shots. On our wedding day all our requests were carried out and Justin & Chrissy really took advantage of our venue's unique qualities to capture brilliant shots (based on our sneak peek...which was already posted while on our honeymoon!). Cannot wait to see the rest of our pictures, I am very confident they will exceed our expectations. HIGHLY recommend checking out the amazing talent the Graddy's have to offer, they will not disappoint!

I discoverd Justin's wonderful photography through a close friends wedding photos. I was so impressed with his work that I had to use Graddy Photography for my BIG DAY!! Not only is Justin's work wonderful, we recieved the greatest customer service along with a sneak peak of our wedding photos the next day before we left on our honeymoon. We would highly recommend Graddy!!

We recommend Graddy Photography for any couple that is searching for the best photographer! We enjoyed working with him, and we are more than pleased with our photos! Justin was also very excited and willing to travel to our mini "destination" wedding, a few hours north of the Twin Cities in the Brainerd area of MN. This definitely put us at ease, knowing that the photographer we chose was open and excited to go the distance during the height of wedding season. In sharing our wedding photos with friends and family, we have only gotten rave reviews. One of our friends in Wisconsin said they were the best they have ever seen, and wished she had gotten him for her wedding. So it's not just my husband and I being biased! It really is true! Justin's work is phenomenal - you can't go wrong with Graddy Photography!

Honest, creative, friendly, amazing! I would recommend them to anyone!

I was sitting in Hawaii on our honeymoon just a few days after the wedding and couldn't believe our sneak peak was up already! I was so excited to see the pictures and loved every one!! We haven't quite looked through all of our wedding pictures yet but we had such a great experience with the Graddys. Both Justin and Chrissy returned every email right away and reassured me on all my many questions. The were very professional and blended into the crowd. We had such a large wedding party and that was a little hard to control but we got some amazing pictures. Thanks for capturing our special day!

Words cannot even begin to describe our experience with Graddy Photography! It was beyond perfect! Absoutely perfect communication from the start then ending with the most stunning wedding pictures!! This husband and wife team know how to run a business! They are so detailed with every aspect that we literally did not have to worry once about anything with our photography! Justin captured our engagement pictures on one of the coldest days of the winter and took us walking through snow to our knees --- let's just say the pictures were well worth it!! From the get go we put our trust with Justin and knew he would capture our day just like we wanted it. Here we are today looking at these pictures feeling so grateful that we had Graddy as our photographer. We cannot thank you enough for how perfect you have captured our special day! We have already highly recommended you to our friends that have seen our photos! We know that any photos we need moving forward will be done in your studio! Thanks again you guys!!

My husband and I enjoyed using Graddy Photography for our engagement and wedding day photos. We really appreciated their promptness in returning phone calls and emails. Also, we got our wedding pics back within a month! I know friends who had waited up to four months for their pictures. The pictures really turned out well and many friends and family commented on how nice they are.

Very professional- if you like a photographer that blends into the scene and is unobtrusive Graddy is perfect. Also remarkably adaptable and quick with the formal family portraits so you can get back to your wedding!

Graddy Photography was absolutely the best vendor of any we worked with throughout our wedding process; they were worth every penny we paid them and we are recommending them to everyone. From the time we signed the contract 6 months out, they were part of our day - working to make sure they understood what we wanted and making honest suggestions about how they would be able to best provide that within the budget we were able to spend. They worked with amazing efficiency the day of the wedding, splitting the opportunities and angles between each of the 2 photographers perfectly, and no time was wasted standing around or needlessly positioning people. They came BACK, after their contracted time was over, to offer us the opportunity to catch ONE LAST unique shot, and it ended up being one of our absolute favorites. One of the biggest points in their favor on the business side, beyond their amazing attention to detail and wealth of knowledge on wedding timing and expectations, was that they actually recommended we stick with our original budget for how long we hired them, rather than try to get an unrealistic amount of shots in an extra hour. We took their advice on everything and were thrilled with the results: our photos were absolutely stunning. We have been bombarded with praise and requests for our photographer's name; they are so unique and so accurately capture the essence of all the little moments we wanted to remember. Thank you Graddy Photography for capturing us so perfectly on our most perfect day!

Graddy Photography is simply amazing! Justin made sure to cover all the photographs we talked about and after those shots were complete he blended in and we didn't even know he was there... everyone had nothing but great things to say about his presence and friendliness. Once I saw my sneak peak photographs I knew immediately that I had made the right decision- all the emotions of that day were brought to life. I have shown everyone my sneak peaks and they all comment "looks straight out of a magazine" and he made us feel and look stunning. The photography part of the wedding was very important and I had researched photographers for a long time before deciding on Justing Graddy based on his photographs alone- take one look at them and you will have no problem deciding. I would highly recommend Graddy Photography to any Bride- you will never regret the decision! Thanks Justin for the beautiful memories!Lindsey & Jared Stull

Justin did a wonderful job on both our engagement and wedding pictures. We heard from many friends and family that the sneak peek pictures Justin posted were the "best wedding pictures we have ever seen"! We highly recommend!

Justin was a pleasure to work with and we LOVE our wedding photos. I also love how accessible he was via email during the planning of our wedding

I am so grateful that we used Graddy Photography. Justin was incredibly flexible, while still able to give us direction (I had no clue how to pose)! I love the pictures and couldn't be more satisfied!

Justin at Graddy Photography is great to work with. He is easy to get a hold of and easy to work with. His work is OUTSTANDING.

Graddy Photography was amazing to work with! Our photos are better than I had ever dreamed they would be. On top of everything, Justin and Chrissy are so easy to work with - they will do anything for their couples! 5 stars is not enough!-Brooke Nohner

No other Photographers compare to Graddy! Hands down best photos I've ever seen! We were very surprised to see how many photos were taken. We love our engagement book and can not wait to see our wedding album! I would definitely recommend Graddy Photography! They were very professional and worth the expense.

We feel so lucky to have photos from our wedding that capture our personal style and the happiness and love of the day. Justin and Chrissy Graddy are absolutely amazing to work with and it was the best decision we made to have Graddy Photography photograph our wedding. They captured every detail of our big day and were such a joy to work with - professional and kind. We would highly recommend Graddy Photography to any couple!Our sincerest thanks and appreciation to Graddy Photography!

The biggest regret we have with our wedding day was that we did NOT book Graddy Photography as our wedding photographer....we wish we would've come across their website sooner. We booked a very expensive photographer with not enough experience in the wedding industry. The results included my dress nearly being ruined when they took it outside for photographs (that didn't turn out), my "must take" photograph requests being ignored, many missing detail shots, a lack of communication, and just mediocre photos that were mainly shot indoors, again what I did not want. Our whole experience with our photographer has been a mess and I was thrilled when Julie from Smart & Chic contacted me after hearing about what happened to my dress. She offered a "rock the dress" session, doing my hair and makeup, and photos done at the Graddy studio. The generosity of S&C and Graddy has been amazing, since we had no budget for this at all. Justin Graddy took photos of my dress and we walked around New Prague to some great sites to finally get the outdoor photographs that we so desperately wanted. I've seen a couple of the "sneak peek" shots and I can't wait to see the rest, they are just what we were looking for! The fact that the Graddy's took the time to donate their services to make us happy speaks volumes. They are true professionals!

Graddy Photography was awesome for my destination wedding! They are true artists and went above and beyond what I imagined. I never thought I would receive so many compliments on how amazing our weddding photos are. Highly recommend!!

We are so happy we chose Graddy Photography to do our wedding pictures. They did such a GREAT job! Justin and Chrissy are creative, very helpful with the whole wedding experience, flexible, professional, and just a lot of fun to work with! We would recommend them to all of our friends and family!

I have never been so impressed in my life!:) There are tons, and tons of photographers I had to sift through on the knot.com page and finally I found the Graddy's!:) They were a breath of fresh air! They did a fantastic job on our engagement photos! For our wedding, they were nothing but flexible and accommodating. We love all of our photos and love our wedding album. They are a husband and wife team and the nice thing about having that is they can capture more moments on film. They both have a wonderful personality and extremely professional and caring. My husband and I have been recommending them to everyone that asks me about photographers:)! They do a great job for weddings but also maternity pictures, seniors--everything! I hope soon to have pictures of babies!:))

I met with Graddy Photography and was impressed with their professionalism, personalization, expertise in the industry, and all of their existing work. They created the entire timeline for the day (I could have had them for 20 hours) and were the most responsive to work with. They have the ability to bring out the very best in us and our wedding party. They made the day fun and captured moments we didn't even see ourselves. Their creativity showed through our engagement and wedding photos. We discovered after the wedding that it was one of the most important investments we made because the day went by so fast and now we have all the images to remind us. It was truly an amazing day for us, our family, and friends and we feel so blessed to have beautiful/timeless/amazing/captivating images of our wedding that will remind us of the beginning of our lives together- images that last a lifetime. Some of the most amazing photos of the day were when Justin grabbed us and said, "a storm just passed and it is perfect out." We didn't even realize how beautiful it was out in a field with the clouds in the sky. It made for beautiful pictures and was a moment for the two of us! There were so many times throughout the day that happened- Thank You!I would strongly advise any bride/couple to meet with Justin and Chrissy Graddy. They are a husband and wife team. We were blessed to have them a part of of our day and they can continue to photograph the other major moments in our life. Thank you for the photo memories!

The Graddy's were so amazing to work with and the we absolutely LOVE all of our pictures!! We will cherish these photos for years to come and remember what an amazing day we had. Thank you so much Justin and Chrissy!Rachel and Lucas Phelan6/19/2010

Our wedding photos are EXCEPTIONAL -creative, beautiful, dynamic. Justin and Chrissy truly captured the essence of the our special day. We highly recommend Graddy Photography to any couple! Kari and Michael LessardJune 12, 2010

My husband, Andy, and I recently used Graddy Photography for our engagement and wedding photos. They were absolutely wonderful! We would work with them again if we had to do all the planning over again. From the very beginning Justin and Chrissy wanted to get to know us. They had us over to their place and showed us all of their materials and former weddings and really went over and above. Connecting with them was always easy either by email or phone and they were always quick to respond. Justin made everything fun when it came time for our engagement pictures as well as our wedding pictures. He also worked great with parents who have their own ideas of what picture they want taken. He really aimed to please everyone and made sure to check with us before leaving to make sure there wasn't anything else we wanted him to take pictures of. Justin and Chrissy also were so affordable! Being recent college grads we didn't have a lot of money, but we did know that with the money we did have we wanted to put most of it into the photography since these pictures are what we wre going to have to remember the day for the rest of our lives. We knew the investment would be worth it - and it was! Andy and I are still talking about how thankful we are that we used Graddy Photography. Justin also did bridal portraits with me. There are only so many opportunities that a girl gets to wear her dress - so make the most of it! The shoot was so much fun and then we had Justin develop a print on velvet to display at the reception - it looked fantastic.We are still getting compliments on our photos and so many of our friends are saying that they wish they knew about Graddy when they got married.

We chose Graddy photography for our special day and we LOVED them. They are very unique with their pictures. They make you feel really comfortable with all the different shots they take and treat you and your guests like their family. It was a great feeling knowing they will do anything to make your day special. We always could find them. What i loved the most was looking back a pictures and seeing shots that i didn't even know they were taking, like a picture of all our guests in the church. I 100% recommend them.

Chrissy and Justin's professionalism and quality of work is beyond anything we could have expected or anticipated. The photos they took of our wedding were commented by friends and family as a work of Art; photos that are found in a Bride magazine; creative and in the moment! I would recommend Graddy Photography to anyone who really want photos that your friends and family will be talking about for a long time - photos you will remember for a lifetime!

We loved Graddy Photography! Chrissy and Justin were so much fun to work with and they made the wedding day so memorable for us. We loved the creative shots they did and the quality of their picture taking skills. We highly recommend them!!

Awesome!! They are extremely accommodating and do as you'd like. You can request any pictures you want and they do an a fantastic job. I would 100% recommend them again!

Graddy Photography is awesome! They do such creative, quality work. Definitely not your typical photographer. Their pictures really tell the story of your wedding day in a photojournalistic style. They really get to know their clients and it shows in their work. We've referred our friends to them and we look forward to having them take our family pictures in the future.

They made our wedding day the best day of our lives, and because of their work we can relive the day any time we want! I wouldn't choose anyone else for my wedding photographer

Absoutely amazing photographers. We were thrilled with our pictures, one picture even won in an international competition!! Not only were we impressed with the sheer volume of great pictures, but we also loved how calm and easy going both Justin and Chrissy were throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Graddy Photography if you want fantastic pictures and professionalism!

Justin and Chrissy captured all the shot's we wanted. They were flexable and easy to work with, would highly recommend to everyone.

Graddy is a young husband and wife team who really make your day special. They are members of the WPJA, which is something I really wanted for my wedding. After a few couples we knew mentioned their name, we decided to book them!They were relaxed, calm, and understood the craziness of my family! We took some posed, but creative shots before the wedding, and then I felt like they disappeared (in a good way!) I hate going to weddings where you see the photographer getting in everyone's way - this is not them! They took great shots without interfering with the day.After dinner, we did some evening shots on the river - they really know how to maximize your venue for great photos!I would highly recommend this team!

I adore Justin & Krissy. They were so fun at our wedding and they took such stunning pictures. I wish they could have attended the wedding as our guests, as they got along with everyone so well!I never had to follow up with Graddy - they always returned calls or emails within 24 hours. They also met with us at the last minute over Thanksgiving weekend so we could have pictures for our Christmas cards. I cannot recommend this vendor highly enough. I felt like they were a steal for the price and I can't imagine a more talented duo.

Graddy Photography are amazing! They were so easy to work with and were so creative in their ideas for photos. It was hard for me to be the center of attention all day and have someone constantly taking my picture, but Justin and Chrissy made me feel so comfortable and sometimes, I didnt even know they were there! Our pictures turned out amazing, the ideas of places and poses were so fun and creative. We loved how they did so much more than the traditional photos. THe journalism was amazing.
My husband and I were so happy with the finished product and the entire experience with Graddy Photography. Thank you so much for helping make our day so special!!!

Graddy Photography was amazing! They took beautiful pictures and were able to capture the best moments of our wedding day. They were professional, personable, and their prices were fantastic. We liked them so much that we recommended them to our friends who are getting married in June 2009 (and they are using them as well). We have received countless compliments on our wedding photgraphs and album - we are so happy that we chose Graddy for our special day!!

Very professional, a little inconsistent on prices of different weddings. I would highly recommend Graddy if I had a friend or knew someone getting married, but let them know to book in advance. They arrived on time and all of our pictures turned out great!

Justin and Chrissy were fabulous to work with. The first thing about their service that we really liked is that they listed to what WE wanted. They don't work within a cookie cutter...they want to take pictures that work for you and your spouse. Our wedding party, and our families, also loved working with Graddy too, which was fun to hear!

Justin and Chrissy were outstanding on my daughter's big day! They made sure that they understood what my daughter and her fiance wanted, as well as what the families wished. They were professional, unobtrusive to the ceremonies and the family moments before the wedding. They travelled with the wedding party to 8 different locations for the after-ceremony shoot, and then stayed for all of the main reception highlights. They were helpful, watchful, with a keen eye toward the artistic and meaningful photographic shots. They also worked extremely well with all of our other vendors. Their finished products were so far beyond expectation, it was difficult to choose portraits. Their Wedding Story Photojournal is so moving, it was like going through the wedding day all over again! We would recommend Graddy Photography very highly.

Graddy photography is wonderful! They are fun and easy to work with and your photos will turn out great. Be sure to fill our your shot list!

We had a pretty good experience with Graddy Photography. They give you a free engagement session but do not do quality work on their engagement sessions. They did not edit our pictures at all. They did a good job editing our wedding pictures though and we got a large number of quality photos. They were easy-going and fun people. They are budget-friendly and easy to work with. I would recommend them and I would also recommend getting a photo book - they are awesome!

Graddy Photography did an amazing job at our wedding! They were professional, detail oriented, flexible, extremely talented, and easy to work with. And on top of all that they took fantastic pictures. We love our wedding photos, they are more than we ever expected!!!

"Hi Justin and Chrissy!"

"Thomas and I are still glowing just thinking about our wedding! We couldn't have been more pleased having you as our photographers! We've gotten sooooo many compliments already about you!! Many of our friends and family have looked at the blog and are so impressed with those pictures! I talked to a few bridesmaids today and they've been recommending you to people! All of the wedding party said that you both were so easy going and they really had so much fun with you! Thomas and I feel the same way and you have exceeded far and beyond our every expectation. For me, our wedding pictures will be one of our most treasured ways to remember the day, and I'm so glad we chose you to take our pictures! The whole day felt flawless and you were a big part of making it go so smoothly! So thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make that day so special!! "

"Justin and Chrissy -
Where do we even start? You both were such a blast to work with! From the day we met you guys, we knew you would be the perfect fit to have as our wedding day photographers ......not only do you have an eye for a great shot, but you also made our wedding pictures laid-back and "natural"; ones that truly captured the moment of the best day of our lives. We loved our engagement pictures and the wedding shots we have seen look amazing! Our friends and family were all really impressed by your ideas, professionalism, and creativity and they can't wait to see the final product too. So….... THANK YOU!!!"

"Graddy Photography caught the sweet moments of our special day so beautifully! The first time I saw our photos online I cried! Everyone who sees our photos is blown away by how they captured the essence of our wedding. Chrissy and Justin were very professional but also fun to work with! We would recommend them to everyone who wants their wedding day documented with photos that are creative and timeless.

Many thanks Graddy Photography!!"

"Thank you so very much for making the best day of our lives so special! You truly went out of your way to make sure you didn't miss a thing. Although we have only seen a few pictures, they turned out so well and we are waiting in anticipation for more! We really feel as though you captured the entire day for us, which will allow us to have a lifetime full of lasting memories. You also made it so fun for our wedding party that they didn't even realize how many hours of pictures were taken. It was wonderful meeting you both and we will look forward to working with you again in the future. Be prepared for a bunch of phone calls, as our entire bridal party fell in love with your pictures and enthusiasm. Thanks again!!!"

"Chrissy and Justin were absolutely fabulous at our wedding! They were very relaxed, which in return helped us to relax! I loved having Chrissy in the dressing room while I got ready. She was a great asset! We couldn't have asked for two better photographers. We even shared some memories about our thumb scars.....we should have taken a picture of that! There have been many comments about how nobody can remember seeing the photographers at the wedding ceremony and many have raved about how they kept such a low profile. Thank you! I also loved how both Chrissy and Justin were comfortable with us and that they could laugh and make jokes with us!

You guys are wonderful and I will keep you in mind for any other events and tell all our friends about you! Thank you for helping make our wedding day that much more spectacular! Our pictures are awesome!"

" We absolutely made the right decision in choosing Graddy Photography to cover the most important day of our life! Chrissy and Justin were low-pressure and professional in their sales approach and were fun and creative throughout their entire time with us. The bridal party loved them and we appreciated how open they were to feedback following our engagement shoot and how well they followed our desires on our wedding day. They got all the shots we wanted...not the stereotypical poses that other photographers make you do. They catered specifically to us! And they pulled it off in a very non-intrusive manner. We relaxed and had fun and they did their thing. That's the way it's supposed to work. We would recommend Graddy to any couple."

I highly recommend Graddy Photography to all of my brides! Justin is an amazing photographer who captures those perfect moments. He is very professional and so easy to work with.

Graddy Photography's love for their clients is felt at every turn but even more so in the images they capture. Their award winning style is carefully and loving created to touch you long after the event is over. I am proud to know Justin and Chrissy and am very excited whenever we have the good fortune to work together. You can't go wrong with Graddy Photography.

I have had the pleasure to work with Justin and Chrissy. They truly showed they cared for the Bride and Groom. I have seen some of the photos from that wedding and they captured some wonderful moments. I look forward to working with them again. Thank you Justin and Chrissy.
