Vendor Spotlight | Tenth and Grace Photography

Q: When and how did you get started in the wedding industry?

A:  I have been doing photography for six years, but I started my business focusing on portraits. Several years ago, I started getting requests for engagement and anniversary sessions – and that’s when I discovered that I absolutely LOVE working with couples. That naturally led into photographing weddings, which have become my passion! I love everything about weddings and I so enjoy getting to know my couples and spending this special day with them and their families.

Q: How far in advance should a bride request your services?

A: Most of my weddings are booked about 9-12 months in advance.

Q: Who is your ideal client and why do you think client’s choose you over your competition?

 A: My ideal clients are romantic, stylish and relaxed. There are so many amazing photographers out there, but I find that my clients really connect with my style and value the consistency and emotion present in my work.

Q: What do you adore most about weddings?

 A:  Oh, I love everything about weddings! I love all the happiness and joy, and I love getting to know the families and friends of my couples. Most of all, I love the challenge of telling the story of the day and knowing that the images I create will be part of my couples’ stories forever.

Q: How many weddings/clients do you take on a year?

 A:  I try to limit myself to 15 weddings per year, since I also continue to do some portrait work as well as mentoring other photographers.

Q: What is something you would like clients to know about you that they cannot read on your website?

 A: Oh gosh, I’m kind of a dork. Hopefully that doesn’t come across on my website! I definitely don’t take myself too seriously, and I think my clients appreciate my relaxed and easygoing personality.

Q: What advice could you offer to our newly engaged couples?

 A: Try to enjoy the wedding planning process as much as possible. I know it can seem overwhelming with the sheer number of decisions that need to be made, but it goes by so quickly! And the same goes for your wedding day – try to take a few minutes to look around and soak it all in.

Q: What is your go to hangout spot in Dallas?

 A: I have two young kids, so my “hangout spots” are a lot different than they used to be! We love the Fort Worth Zoo and Dallas Arboretum. In this season of my life, you’ll likely find me in a zoo or a park instead of a bar or restaurant!

Q: And my favorite question to ask: what is your signature cocktail?

 A: Mojito!
