Matt & Ginny | Making The Movies Jealous | Ray Roman Films

graceologyphotography — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 20:15:27 +0000

We had the ultimate privilege and honor to photograph one of the most anticipated and most beautiful weddings in Atlanta this year. Matt and Ginny chose the most innovative and creative wedding cinematographer, Ray Roman, to film and create the masterpiece you will see below. His films need no introduction or description of how incredible they are, they definitely speak for themselves. It was an honor to work next to Ray and watch him in action. It appears effortless when you watch him, but the final product just jumps off the screen and blows you away. Please check out the film below, and check out more of Ray’s work at www.RayRomanFilms.com

“Making The Movies Jealous” Matt and Ginny are hands down the most perfect couple for each other ever. They were made famous online when Matt made the movie trailer proposal video that went viral overnight. Endless amounts of planning went into making their wedding night magical. We photographed their wedding at one of our favorite venues, the Hazlehurst House. We loved Matt and Ginny from the moment we met and we are truly honored you chose Graceology to capture the most important day of your life. It was the perfect candlelit ceremony followed by a crazy party with the insanely talented band, GoBox. There were rumors of an after party, but this photographer had to call it a night and hurry back home to get editing this beautiful day. Below are the people that made this day happen.

Laura | Ray | The Mansion on Peachtree | Wedding | 11.12.11

graceologyphotography — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:49:02 +0000

This is the result of 15 hours worth of shooting. Laura and Ray had one of the most beautiful weddings we have ever photographed in Atlanta. Laura slipped into her custom made wedding gown at the ultra luxurious Mansion on Peachtree hotel in Atlanta on Saturday. The beauty that she has was multiplied 1000 times in the photos below, Laura was absolutely stunning. A few blocks down Peachtree, Ray was waiting for her at the end of the aisle at the beautiful Cathedral of Christ The King Catholic Church. The European style of that church is every photographers dream and we were so blessed to be able to work there with Ray and Laura. After the ceremony, a cocktail hour was had in the outside gardens at the Mansion with a fantastic surf and turf dinner by the chefs at The Mansion. No one in Atlanta can make a party happen better than DJ Joel Rabe of Lethal Rhythms. His live mixes sent this party into Sunday, I truly believe they would have danced until 3am if the staff at the Mansion would have allowed it! Thank you to Laura, Ray, and their families for putting up with our instructions and poses for 15 hours. You all were perfect and we wish you the most love and success. I couldn’t have captured this day without the help of Atlanta’s hottest photographers. Shane Durrance and Pitter Kalpak were spot on with every photo they took all day long. Enjoy the huge preview below, this wedding was too beautiful to just show you a few photos :) The photos below are the exclusive property of Graceology Photography, Shane Durrance, and Pitter Kalpak.

Until the next one,

graceologyphotography — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 02:44:51 +0000

Alexis and Kenny threw a party on Saturday and a wedding broke out! Seriously, this was one of the most fun and photo op filled weddings we have ever shot. We fell in love with Alexis and her family during our consult at the Ritz many many moons ago. Their wedding was elegant yet just enough Southern charm to make it laid back and fun for everyone! This reception, led by the amazing Lethal Rhythms made for some of our best reception photos ever. Congrats Alexis and Kenny, we love you guys! I know there are some blackmail photos in this reception, use them wisely :)

Introducing the new 30+30+40 payment plan!

graceologyphotography — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:53:53 +0000

Let’s get straight to the point. Weddings are expensive! Every little detail that goes into a wedding has a price, and it is usually not a small one. We want to take a little bit of that financial worry and stress off your big day and introduce our new payment plan. Currently to book a wedding with Graceology we require a 50% retainer fee and 50% the week before your wedding. Depending on what your budget for the wedding is, writing a check for $1000+ dollars can be stressful.

Welcome to the table the Graceology 30+30+40 payment plan: Once you decide to go with Graceology as your wedding day photographers, you would pay 30% of the balance followed by a payment 90 days later for another 30%. The week before your wedding, we would require the final 40% to be paid. You can still choose to pay 50-50 or even 100%, we just want to help ease some of the burden that comes with planning weddings. Below is an example of a typical structured payment plan:

- Booked wedding on November 1st for a wedding in June of 2012: 1st payment of $600 is due upon contract signing.
- February 1st 2012: 2nd payment of $600 is due
- Last week of May 2012: 3rd and final payment of $800 is due

Wedding photography is an investment. Besides the video (if you choose a videographer,) photos from your wedding is all you will really have to show for all the hard work, time, and love that went into your wedding. Make the wise investment and spend a little extra to get a photographer you bond with instantly and that you have a great feeling about.

Graceology has a few select dates for the 2012 wedding calendar available. Due to our limited bookings of 30-35 weddings per year, we do fill up fast. Please contact Chris @ 404.395.9041 or info@graceology.com to schedule a consultation today!
