Jimmy was wonderful to work with! From our engagement session to our wedding day, he made the entire experience fun and easy. He is friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave great direction when needed while also capturing so many natural moments throughout the day. We love our sneak peek photos and can’t wait to see the rest of our gallery! We highly recommend Jimmy to anyone looking for a talented photographer to capture their engagement photos and wedding day.

We worked with Jimmy for our wedding and he was a gem! In the week before the wedding he guided me in figuring out what we wanted and needed and to arrange timing. When our outdoor wedding suddenly had to be moved indoors, Jimmy worked with us to make arrangements for a new spot to get family photos and then braved the rain (and downed tree limbs!) to get us some awesome photos outside. Our guests also mentioned being impressed with how well Jimmy integrated himself into the reception without being in the way. The preview pictures we’ve received so far are amazing, and we can’t wait to see what else he sends.

Jimmy is a phenomenal photographer who was so easy to work with. His skill, especially with lighting, backdrops, and posing contributed to so many fantastic photos. His editing makes the photos look really natural, and he made us feel so comfortable throughout the engagement photos and wedding photos. He was able to recreate every picture that we brought the inspiration for, and when we had no clue what we wanted for other photos, he was there with the perfect suggestions. We hope you’ll consider Jimmy as your engagement and wedding photographer!

If you’re getting married, there is only one person you absolutely need to hire: Jimmy Gray Photography. Not only is he incredibly talented (his nighttime photos are absolutely unparalleled), but he is one of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure to know.

From the start, Jimmy made sure to ask my husband and I all about our wants, needs, dos, don’ts… things we hadn’t even considered, Jimmy was prepared to walk us through and even share opinions (without ever overstepping!)

Our engagement shoot was fantastic, but our wedding is truly what blew us away. We heard from all our guests and other vendors that they had wonderfully positive experiences working with him and chatting. He made sure to follow up after the wedding and make sure we were happy with our photos and experience. Happy is truly putting it mildly.. Jimmy is a photography wizard. The photos captured every wonderful memory and moment.

You couldn’t ask for a better photographer, or new friend, than the one you’ll find in Jimmy Gray.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Jimmy Gray Photography both as a fellow vendor and as a client. As a wedding DJ myself, I work with MANY other photographers on a regular basis, Whenever I have the opportunity to work a wedding with Jimmy, I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I will be working with a true professional. He is organized, composed, able to direct large groups of people effectively (VERY important for a wedding photographer), and has a terrific eye for special shots. Not only that, but I know we will have a great time together as Jimmy is so easy to get along with and has such a positive energy about him.

I have also absolutely loved his work as I think he has such a unique style about him. He is able to capture the emotions so nicely and his eye for detail is incredible. Knowing all of this, I decided to book him for our family photo shoot this year. The photos came out excellent and he was so easy to work with! I will continue to recommend Jimmy Gray Photography to any family, friends, or potential clients looking for a top-notch Photographer!

Jimmy is a professional in all senses of the word. From the beginning, Jimmy was communicative and answered all our questions in our first phone call, which was nice considering we had never hired one before. Although we weren’t sure if we wanted engagement photos, Jimmy convinced us it was worth doing. Looking back, we’re glad we did. Not only were the photos fantastic, but we got a sense of how Jimmy worked providing a trial run that allowed us all to be comfortable with each other before the wedding. During the event, Jimmy was there to make sure our day ran smoothly. He even helped with a last-minute snag with the boutonnieres helping to pin them on the groomsmen. Once we got the photos, we were definitely impressed. They all came out even better than we hoped for. They were indicative of his portfolio, so if you like that, the end product is going to be just as good, if not better.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, you can finally stop looking and book Jimmy Gray. From our first call to the sneak peeks from our big day Jimmy was incredibly professional, personable, and knowledgeable. He made me and my husband feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera and made us laugh along the way. Jimmys wife was expecting her second child around the time of our wedding so he added a second shooter free of charge in case he had to leave early that day. ( thankfully he didn’t!!) I still can’t get over our wedding photos- they are everything we could have dreamed of and more. Jimmy took the time to learn the lay of the land of our venue to get the best shots while keeping us comfortable in the heat. He got along so well with all of our other vendors which made for a seamless experience all around . Jimmy has a unique way of capturing the most special and genuine moments that we just couldn’t find in any other photographer . Like I said from the start ; book him now!!!

We were picky about choosing a photographer, and we are thrilled we picked Jimmy. We chose him based on the photos we could see online, which we thought look clear and timeless. Planning and coordinating was seamless. Jimmy was able to plan with us how much time and manpower we would need for our specific venue and the shots we wanted. He was open to any ideas we had for shots, but he was also fully prepared to take the lead and direct as needed. We were able to feel relaxed and like ourselves in front of the camera - and even some guests told us how comfortable they felt with him! The photos are beautiful, and truly capture the joy of the occasion. We are truly blown away by them, and will treasure them for years to come.

Look no further for your wedding photography needs! I started looking for a photographer in spring of 2023, a full year ahead of my wedding. I came across Jimmy's profile on one of these wedding planning sites and thought I'd get in touch. The first time I spoke with Jimmy on the phone, he put me right at ease. He immediately started talking about what a schedule of the day would look like. It was clear this wasn't his first rodeo- he really knew the ins and outs of what a busy wedding day would bring. We really emphasized to Jimmy that while we certainly wanted the typical wedding day shots, we also wanted to thoroughly enjoy our day and not get lost in the chaos that comes along with it all. He was absolutely amazing at delivering exactly what we wanted. He was able to get us several family photos and first look shots before the ceremony even took place, so we didn't have to miss our cocktail hour. After our ceremony, we got the remaining family photos out of the way and still had plenty of time to enjoy cocktail hour. During the reception, he had this great way of being stealth- he captured so many beautiful moments without ever being "in the way" or ever making us feel like we needed to stop what we were doing to pose. He got all the romantic shots I wanted, along with all the candids of people dancing, playing games, and just overall celebrating. I also love that he did our engagement shoot several months prior, so we were able to get to know each other a little bit before the big day. Many people don't realize that having your picture taken professionally is actually kind of awkward, but Jimmy made us so comfortable and captured so many memories for us. Jimmy, we can't thank you enough for capturing our special day!

Couldn't be happier that we hired Jimmy for our wedding day! He was relaxed, professional, and felt like a friend. Not to mention the photos came out beautifully! Thank you Jimmy!

Jimmy was the photographer for our October 2023 wedding and his work was absolutely stunning! My husband and I are not too fond of being in front of the camera but Jimmy made the entire experience fun and stress free. We had a fantastic mix of posed, candid, and detail pictures that truly captured our wedding day as a whole. His eye for detail and ability to make everyone smile made all the difference for our pictures. He was very communicative prior to the wedding, flexible for scheduling and changes, and was a great addition to our day!!

We found ourselves in a unique situation because the groom himself was a wedding photographer. This made for some great creativity on Jimmy's part to incorporate capturing the couple do some photos of each other. In addition, Jimmy was able to capture such joy and happiness from everyone on that day. He also went above and beyond to capture a large variety of group photos just after the ceremony. He's easy going, great to chat with, and everyone enjoyed having him there that day! He blended in like a guest but managed to capture all the moments.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jimmy Gray for our engagement session and wedding day photography. Jimmy is so kind, patient, easy to communicate with, and talented! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! He was organized and professional throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. He made sure to capture all the special moments and was happy to incorporate specific photo requests. We got sneak peeks in such a timely manner after our engagement session and our wedding day. We are looking forward to receiving our full gallery! We truly feel like Jimmy went above and beyond and we are so happy we had the chance to work with him. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

Jimmy is the best! He did such a great job guiding us through the whole process from engagement photos on. Both of us were nervous about being in front of the camera but Jimmy made it easy. The pictures have come out amazing - we would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Jimmy was an absolute joy to work with! He was so incredibly helpful and the preview pictures we received are gorgeous! Jimmy is so great and we gave him complete creative control. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! I would recommend Jimmy to every couple in New Hampshire!

Jimmy did both our Engagement shoot and Wedding and boy did he impress us!
His work ethic, his shooting style, his professionalism, and communication through everything was incredible. He took all of our ideas and wants for how we wanted the photos and provided even more quality than we were expecting.
He truly is a wonderful person who has a natural gift and passion for his craft. We have recommended him to every person that has asked about photography.
Don't hesitate, send him a message if you are in need of photography!!

Jimmy was absolutely amazing during our engagement pictures AND our wedding day! He made us so comfortable and captured every single moment. It honestly felt like we were just hanging with a friend. We got married on Sunday and by Monday we already had an awesome sneak peak of pictures. I would HIGHLY recommend Jimmy to anyone and everyone. We can’t thank him enough for being so down to earth but yet so so talented. ❤️

I cannot recommend Jimmy enough!!! Our pictures are incredible. He did such an amazing job capturing the love and joy from our big day. I cannot stop staring at the amazing photos, and don’t know how we’re going to pick which ones to get printed by him, because there are so many amazing photos. He was so relaxed, flexible, and easy to work with! When I forgot combos for photos, or asked to do something random and extra, he was completely on board. Our family, friends, and guests all commented on how easy working with Jimmy was, and he did a wonderful job of getting amazing photos in a very short amount of time!

My husband and I found Jimmy on the knot, we had an engagement shoot and our wedding shot by him and he is THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER!! Jimmy came hours early to the wedding to get pictures of the bridal parties getting ready, then he stayed right up until 30 minutes after the reception ended, when my husband and I were still dancing. He is such a nice and easy going person, he made our wedding day that much more relaxed and fun! He went above and beyond to make the day special for us. He even helped my maid of honor with busseling my dress when we were having a dress catastrophe. He gives you all your photos in an easy online album, and he edits a few of the best ones and sends them right away for you to post! And they are absolutely gorgeous photos! He puts in so much effort to get the perfect pictures, suggesting the poses, knowing how to make you comfortable behind the camera, and scoping out the best places and lighting for you. There is not enough great things I can say about him, you will not regret booking him for your big day!

This review counts for 5 as my fiancé, mother, sister, etc all raved about Jimmy and wanted me to leave a review. His work speaks for itself. He was able to be punctual to my surprise proposal, capture perfect pictures, and then came back and edited them for us on the spot. He understands social media and gets you pictures ASAP so you can celebrate your special day. He also asks your filtering preferences so he can touchen up the photos later and send you the final products. Phenomenal top to bottom. I would hire Jimmy 10x over again.

We don’t even know where to begin! Jimmy was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Right from the beginning he was there to answer any questions, and let us know he was just a call/text/email away. He made everyone feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. Us as well as our entire wedding party had a blast with Jimmy from getting ready in the morning to dancing the night away during the reception. Jimmy knew how to direct us and just make everything so easy. He even went above and beyond and set up his gear in the pouring rain during our reception to get THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT shot of us! And how many people can say they received sneak peek photos ON their wedding day?! Jimmy sent us a few on the night of our wedding and some more two days later and we are so thrilled about them! So if you are looking for a talented, kind, professional, laid back photographer that truly cares about his work and his clients- Jimmy is 100% your guy!

Jimmy Gray is a true professional. We could not be any happier with the way our wedding and engagement photos turned out. He went above and beyond his role as a photographer and was open to our suggestions. Really great to work with, highly recommended.

My (now) husband and I met Jimmy years ago through a mutual friend. Having seen his work before, when we found out that he was now doing weddings, we knew that Jimmy just had to be our photographer. And that was one of the best decisions that we made! Jimmy has an amazing eye for all of the moments that other people may overlook, the type of moments that happen so fast they’re easy to miss. It’s those moments in particular that really capture the essence of the day and the emotion at that very moment. He knows when to step in to direct and when to step back and just let the moment play out. Jimmy’s talent and ability aside, his laid back personality is a delight to work with on what many people would classify as a rather stressful day. Overall, he was nothing short of amazing and we would (and have already) recommended him to anyone!
