I'm Elizabeth, the photographer behind Gracie May Photography. I've been shooting since my first wedding in 2008 on a borrowed camera.
Hurricane Dorian ruined Gerry & Jacqueline’s wedding day so the next month, they got married at the Orange County Courthouse I’ve had couples cancel their weddings in the past. But I’ve never had a wedding cancel on a couple. Worse yet, it was due to a hurricane (Dorian) which never happened. In the summer, we...
Alex & Sarah’s wedding at Parley Manor in Christchurch (England!) was the last one I was booked to do before I moved back to America. So I hopped back for the weekend to do this last luscious summer wedding for two people whose lives are very much already joined together. Alex & Sarah’s marriage came...

“My favourite part of the day was when we went out to take photos just the two of us. The moments we were “posing” felt exactly opposite to that. I felt like it was a moment for just the two of us. We listened to the sound of our wedding happening in the distance, remembered...
