Perfection!!

We could not be happier with our decision to work with Grace & Ben for our wedding day photos! From our very first email communication, I knew we were in great hands and would be working with a team that truly cares about providing the best experience possible to their clients. They were so well organized, and maintained consistent communication & incredible attention to detail throughout the entire process. The day of the wedding, they were an absolute joy to work with and such fun to have around. Even when our timeline was starting to run behind (as they so often do), Grace was composed and calm, making adjustments on the fly, and ensuring we didn't miss a beat! I could not be more grateful for that as it enabled us to stay relaxed knowing our team had everything under control! The photos absolutely blew us away - we could not stop smiling and laughing going through our gallery, it was like reliving the day all over again, and then some seeing all of the different parts of the day and night unfold! They have such a beautiful artistry about the way they photograph and in their editing style, it truly transports you right back into the moment. Seeing how comfortable our guests look in every photo and watching the party get progressively wilder & sillier as the night went on is so much fun and just proves how comfortable Grace & Ben made everybody feel and how seamlessly they blended in. They have a radar for zooming in on those subtle little moments that could easily go unnoticed throughout the day and have such a keen sense for candids. Their ability to capture those raw moments when you think no one is watching are what make working with Novae so special. Thank you Grace & Ben! Can not recommend them enough!!

One of the best wedding decisions I made was hiring them!

I have known Grace and Ben for about 6 years now, as I'm a wedding vendor! I own Autumn Nomad and have worked with them with not only real weddings, but tons of photoshoots over the years.

One of the absolute best decisions I've ever made was hiring them for our wedding. I've never hired a videographer for anything. Not only did they make you feel so comfortable and not in your face at all, but they're extremely professional and timely. They very much take their job seriously and it shows.

I spoke with Grace the most in the planning stages and she always had so much insight that helped the day flow perfectly.

Once we received our video, I'll tell you - we both could not stop crying. They captured things I didn't even realize happened. Like from all angles of the day. They didn't miss anything. We had the opportunity to relive the day and it was unreal. Absolutely you need to hire video. It's worth the price and you'll have that video footage and hearing speeches and your vows and everything else, forever.

I adore them so much and couldn't recommend them any higher.

Simply the BEST!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Grace and Ben! From the moment you book, they treat you like family and spend the time to get to know you as a couple and match your vision. On our wedding day, they were so incredibly kind and an absolute dream to work with. They made us feel comfortable and calm, and most of the time we had absolutely no idea they were even there, which allowed us to live in the moments of our wedding day knowing that they were capturing it for us. When they delivered our films, we were truly speechless! They captured our love so authentically and beautifully, and their work truly exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests still rave about how their work is like an actual movie, and none of us can get over their next level talent. Book with Grace & Ben immediately, I promise you that it will be the best wedding decision you make!!
