Reign | Minnesota Best Wedding Photographer

Holy Moly!!!  We did it once again.....Graddy Photography was named Best Photography in 2013 by Minnesota Bride magazine!  What an honor it was to be named Best Photographers in the Twin Cities metro area.  Needless to say this is a highly coveted award in an ultra competitive and saturated market!  We are proud to be mentioned alongside other amazing photographers and are proud to represent the Minneapolis wedding market.  This is Graddy Photography's third consecutive year being named Minnesota Bride magazine's Best Photography, an honor not yet replicated.  The event was held at Aria at the Jeune Lune and was attended by a ton of vendors and friends.  Graddy Photography was up for two awards, one being Best Photography and the other, Best Overall Vendor.  Now, while we did not take home Best Overall Vendor it was a great honor to be nominated and listed with such a classy group of professionals.  We are also so very proud of some of our closer vendor friends such as Grand View Lodge for winning Best Honeymoon, Renee's Royal Valet for Best Transportation, Lasting Impressions Wedding and Event Coordination for Best Planner, Instant Request for Best DJ, and The Saint Paul Hotel for Best Wedding-Night Hotel.  We want to sincerely thank all or family, friends, peers, and vendors for placing your trust and confidence in Graddy Photography, we are extremely grateful.  For those of you all who are familiar with our studio, there is a tremendous amount of hard work and constant dedication that goes into making our studio such a great success.  From personalized attention to detail to strong communication skills, we put our best foot forward to provide unparalleled customer service in the industry and apparently it's paying off!  Thanks once again Minnesota Bride magazine for hosting such a great event and of course all those who believe in our body of work!  Cheers!

Lace | Golden Valley Country Club Wedding

WOW!  What an amazing wedding!  Brandon & Kayla pulled off an amazing wedding and we were absolutely thrilled to be a part of their BIG day!  Brandon is a good friend of Justin's from Mankato where they studied the same major.   Brandon was actually a guest at our wedding seven years ago.  Brandon contacted Graddy Photography as soon as they were engaged last year, luckily we were still available!  Kayla is an absolute sweetheart and we have enjoyed getting to know her and them as a couple.  They compliment each other very well and wish them only the best!  The wedding took place at Our lady of Grace Church in Edina with the reception to follow at the Golden Valley Country Club.  We made a little stop off to get some creative shots on the way to the reception.  Luckily, the rain held off just long enough to get the shots we needed.  We had a great time with the wedding party.  There were some familiar faces in the crowd so that always make it easier.  The couple made it back in time to enjoy cocktail hour with their guests.  After being announced in, the couple led into their first dance.  The rest of the evening was a great celebration with family and friends.  Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography once again, you guys are the best!  Have an amazing honeymoon and we'll talk to you guys here in a few short weeks!  Graddy Photography is based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and is available for destination wedding photography.
