About Gracie Birk Photography

Gracie Birk Photography

Photographer

At Gracie Birk Photography I pour my love of loud music and beautiful places into capturing unforgettable moments. I offer relaxed sessions with an adventure vibe that produce unique galleries and lasting friendships. From my PNW home, I travel anywhere, tailoring packages with film photos, Polaroids, and vendor guidance. Explore my site, fill out an inquiry, and meet me for coffee to design a collection that feels like you. I focus on the emotion, energy, and memories behind the vows and cake.

I’m the girl with a sugar-free Red Bull in hand, chasing loud music and beautiful scenes. Sessions feel like a date or adventure, relaxed and real, so you can focus on each other while I capture the loud, candid laughs and the intimate and quiet tears. I’ll travel anywhere. Packages include film, video, digital photos, Polaroid prints, and planning guidance tailored to you. Clients say I hype them up, ease their nerves, and make the experience feel like working with a friend.

    Amazing experience, how lucky we stumbled upon Gracie’s work, I couldn’t imagine these memories turning out any better than they did with her. Professional, kind, makes you so comfortable. I recommend her to everyone and am so happy to have a photographer for all major events moving forward.

    Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! It truly means so much to me that you felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the experience. Getting to document memories like these is such a special part of what I do, and hearing that you love how they turned out makes me so happy. I’m incredibly grateful you found me, and even more grateful that I get to be your photographer for all the major milestones still to come. 🤍

    I am so happy I chose Grace to do my senior photos! The entire experience was so helpful and supportive, and I honestly felt like I was doing it with a friend. She helped me every step of the way and wasted no time. The entire process was so clear, and she took so much time catering to me and making sure I would love my photos. During the actual shoot I never felt lost or nervous. She hyped me up and made me feel so great and comfortable the whole time. Not only that, but the photos were sooo cute! I definitely recommend booking and don’t be afraid to buy those add-ons!

    Thank you so much for such a sweet review!! 🥹 It genuinely makes me so happy to hear that you felt comfortable, supported, and taken care of throughout the whole process. That is exactly how I want senior sessions to feel. I had so much fun working with you, and you absolutely killed it in front of the camera!! I’m so glad you love your photos and that all the planning, little details, and add-ons helped make the experience even more special. Thank you so much for trusting me with such an exciting season of your life. 💛

    Loved working with grace she was so amazing! Even my introvert fiancé quickly felt comfortable with her because she took the time to hear our story and ask about us🤎

    Gracie Birk Photography•Sep 7, 2026

    Thank you so much for this incredibly sweet review! 🤎 It genuinely means so much to me that you both felt comfortable and able to just be yourselves. Getting to hear your story, learn more about the two of you, and create a space where even an introvert can settle in and enjoy being in front of the camera is such a huge part of why I love what I do. I had such a wonderful time with you both and feel so lucky I got to capture this season of your story together. Thank you again for trusting me with it! 🥹🤎

    Having worked with many photographers, I can say that working with Gracie was the absolute best experience I've ever had. She was extremely flexible, sweet, and knowledgeable. She was extremely aware of everyone and everything, and made sure to capture all of the perfect, silly, loving, and beautiful moments. The final photos left me speechless, and when my friends and family members with whom I shared the photos with were absolutely floored with her work. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Gracie and her expertise, and I cannot rave about her enough. I highly HIGHLY recommend Gracie--she is fabulous to work with and will make your special day spectacular and perfect!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review! Being trusted to capture such meaningful moments is something I never take lightly, and knowing that you, your friends, and your family loved the photos absolutely makes my heart so happy. It was such a joy getting to work with you and document all of the beautiful, loving, silly, and unforgettable moments throughout your special day. Thank you for trusting me, welcoming me in, and allowing me to be part of such an important celebration. I am endlessly grateful for your support and recommendation, and I will treasure your sweet words for a very long time!

    This was the most fun I’ve ever had during a shoot! Between the giggles and phenomenal pictures I couldn’t have been happier with my experience! Her eye for color and symmetry is incredible and truly makes you understand why she is an amazing photographer. Don’t stop to wonder whether you should book her or not, do it!!

    Thank you so, so much for your kind words. 🥹 This absolutely made my day! You were such a joy to photograph, and I swear half the session was us laughing together. I’m so happy that came through in both the experience and the photos. Hearing that you noticed all the little things I love, like color, composition, and the tiny details, means more than you know. Thank you for trusting me to capture this season of your life and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I’m forever grateful, and I can’t wait to have you in front of my camera again! 🤍

I believe in being prepared so you can be relaxed. I’m not a “fly-on-the-wall” photographer, but I’m also not here to turn your wedding into a staged production. I’m present, helpful, high-energy (yes — I bring Red Bulls), and focused on documenting the day exactly as it feels, while keeping it stress-free through lots of pre-planning with you. I’ll help you create the timeline, coordinate with your planner, communicate with your vendors, and make sure everything is aligned well before the day arrives. goes here
You have full personal-use, sharing, and printing rights. Unlimited downloads for 90 days. I can also create a curated guest gallery if you prefer. All details are in your contract, and if you post online, I just ask that you tag me!
In over a decade, I have never missed a wedding—showing up is non-negotiable. However, for total peace of mind, I have a solid backup plan. In the unlikely event of an emergency, a trusted, top-tier professional would photograph your day, while I personally edit every image to ensure the final gallery perfectly reflects my signature style.
Absolutely. Every wedding day is different, and you deserve a collection that reflects your vision. My à la carte options let you customize your coverage, add on film, extra hours, engagement sessions, or anything else you want to include in your day. This would fall into my “ Custom Wedding Collection”. Once you inquire, I’ll send you an email with a link to my calendar where you can schedule a call with me and we can build the perfect package for you, together
I shoot with dual card slots and back everything up in multiple different ways: external drives dated by year, cloud storage, and off-site backups.
I shoot on professional Canon camera bodies with dual card slots, which means every photo is backed up twice the moment it’s taken. I carry multiple camera bodies, a full range of professional lenses, on- and off-camera lighting, and backups for every essential piece of equipment — batteries, flashes, memory cards, everything.
I guide formal moments (family portraits, a few classic couples photos), but the rest of the day is about natural direction, real interaction, and in-the-moment storytelling. Nothing forced or stiff. Here’s the balance: Formal photos: I’ll clearly guide, organize, adjust small details, and make sure everyone looks their best. The rest of the day: I keep direction minimal and natural. I use gentle prompts, movement, connection, and interaction rather than stiff posing. I want your photos to look like you, not a version of you posing for me.
You receive every image that isn’t a duplicate, unsalvably blurry, or accidental. For weddings, I shoot around 100–150 images per hour, and everything is individually edited. You get each photo in color and black & white.
I fully believe that weddings are a team effort. Just because I’m the one capturing the moment doesn’t mean the other vendors weren’t a huge part of creating it. Every time I share your photos, I make sure to tag and credit the vendors involved, because they deserve recognition for the magic they help bring to life. After 10+ years of photographing weddings, the thing that keeps me inspired is the people — the couples, the families, and the incredible vendors who are also out here chasing their passion and pouring their heart into their work. I value that collaboration deeply.
