Vicki Grafton Photography

Exceptionally Beautiful Photography!

Vicki is a truly gifted photographer. Her composition, lighting, and color tones are always immaculate. Her presence on a wedding day is professional, poised, and unobtrusive. Her eye for details and ensuring her subjects look their absolute best ensures every single image she delivers is worthy of framing in your home. I am absolutely thrilled at every chance we have to work together and highly, highly recommend her!

Working with Vicki was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first meeting, she immediately put us at ease. Her extensive experience shooting at our venue, The Red Fox Inn, was such a comfort, and she gave us thoughtful guidance on everything from timelines to family and wedding party photos. She had a wonderful way of making sure we got all of the photos we wanted without letting photos take over the flow of our day. We were initially drawn to Vicki because of her photography style, especially the combination of digital and film and her beautiful editorial approach to capturing emotion. And that is exactly what we got. Our photos don't just document what our wedding looked like; they bring us right back to how it felt. Looking through them, we can feel the joy, excitement, and love of the day all over again. Vicki and her second photographer, Paola, arrived at The Red Fox Inn extra early to scout locations and capture all of the little details we had spent so much time planning. Vicki also worked seamlessly with our day-of coordinator, Rachel Kendall Events, and contributed so much to the calm, relaxed feeling I had hoped for on the morning of our wedding. She gave wonderful direction when we needed it, but I never felt rushed or like I was constantly being pulled away for photos. I was able to truly savor getting ready with my mom, our first look, seeing our dogs on our wedding morning, and all of those little moments that I will treasure forever—all while knowing they were being beautifully documented. We were also blown away when Vicki delivered our preview album within 24 hours. The quality and quantity of the preview photos far exceeded our expectations, and it was such a special way to relive the day so quickly. One of the coolest surprises was that Vicki and Paola arranged to capture drone photography of The Red Fox Inn. During our research, we had seen drone photography offered by other photographers as an additional expense, so we really appreciated that Vicki included it simply because she and Paola were excited about what they could create at our venue. That generosity and enthusiasm really captures how wonderful it was to work with them. We would recommend Vicki 100% and can't thank her enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully. We will treasure these photographs for the rest of our lives, and we are so grateful that Vicki was there to preserve not just the big moments, but the feeling of the entire day.

Vicki captured our wedding day so beautifully and authentically! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was so well prepared and organized to make sure all the special moments were captured throughout the day and night. Our family and friends were blown away by the photos and rave about how incredible our photographer was - and we fully agree! We love having such incredible photos to treasure and re-live the magical moments of our wedding day and highly recommend Vicki.

Vicki was an absolute joy to work with. Right off the bat, she made my fiancé and me feel so calm as we started off our engagement photo session, which was the first time either of us had done professional photos. We took pictures at 3 different locations in D.C., all within about an hour and a half, and the results were absolutely stunning. Vicki is so incredibly talented, has an impeccable eye for lighting and shadows, and had suggestions for poses that helped us feel very natural but never overly posed. I am overjoyed with the photos she gave us, and I loved the mix of film and digital photos she provided. Vicki gave us great advice for what colors would look nice at each location we chose as well, for example- I wore a yellow dress when our backgrounds were largely white steps, and I wore white in our neighborhood with brown brick streets and colorful trees & plants. I would wholeheartedly recommend Vicki to anyone for engagement or wedding or truly any type of photography you are looking for!

My wife and I worked with Vicki for our wedding day and our welcome party. She and her team were absolutely incredible: they kept us feeling excited, relaxed, and in-the-moment (as well as on time or ahead of schedule). We were looking for a photographer that would capture us and the day in a naturalistic manner while also capturing our guests enjoying the day. Vicki and her team were so well prepared that everything flowed seamlessly on the day and they rolled with some minor changes we made day-of without any concern. Throughout the process, Vicki worked very well with our other vendors and we always felt that she supported our vision while also providing her expertise when we needed help. Her ability to balance capturing our vision and providing expert guidance was superb and made us feel confident that the photos would be stellar - and they were! We still often just spend time looking through all of the photos. We could not recommend Vicki any more highly and if we were to go back in time, we would certainly hire her again!
