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.

    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!

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’m so freaking grateful I got to meet and work with Grace at the Oregon retreat. She was such an amazing cohost and brought the best energy to the whole experience. She made everything feel welcoming, fun, and easy to be part of, which is such a gift in a retreat setting. She also took branding photos for me while we were there, and I am genuinely obsessed with how they turned out. Being on the other side of the camera is not always my favorite thing, but she made it feel so relaxed and natural. The photos feel like me, but elevated — fun, confident, polished, and not awkward or overly posed. I’m so glad I got to work with her. She is wildly talented, so kind, and just really good at making people feel comfortable while also creating beautiful work.

    This is so incredibly kind! The Oregon retreat was such a special experience for me, and getting to meet and connect with so many amazing creatives was one of my favorite parts. I’m so happy you love your branding photos because I know being on the other side of the camera can feel a little weird sometimes, especially when you're usually the one creating the magic for everyone else. Hearing that the photos still felt like you, just elevated and confident, is honestly exactly what I hope for every branding session. I’m so grateful our paths crossed, and I absolutely loved getting to work with you. Thank you for taking the time to write this. It truly means more than you know 🤍

    Gracie was a blast to work with! I never have had professional photos done and I usually hate taking photos, however with Gracie it was a lot of fun and she made it very enjoyable. Her bubbly personality, fun vibes and music made the entire shoot so much fun and not boring or awkward at all. 10/10 would recommend to all college grads, her vision to spot really cool and unique spots throughout campus was immaculate, and all of her posing ideas were amazing! Would definitely work with her again!

    You absolutely killed your session and I’m so grateful you trusted me to capture such a huge milestone. I’d work with you again in a heartbeat!!

    I want to first start off saying, please book this gal! She in every way is truly authentic, charismatic, and so so talented. Grace did branding photos for me and was truly down for my vision! She is your favorite hype woman that will help you get the vision you want with a smile on her face. I can’t express enough the attention to each person she gives makes the biggest difference in the feeling you get seeing your photos. I am normally so critical about myself but when I got those photos back I felt like I was looking at myself through the eyes of this person that just thinks you are so beautiful. Thank you Grace!

    That’s genuinely one of the biggest compliments I could ever receive as a photographer. I want people to walk away from their galleries feeling confident, beautiful, and reminded of how others already see them, so reading that made me emotional honestly 🥹 You were an absolute joy to work with and I’m so grateful you trusted me with your vision. Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to write this 🤍

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.
