Thanks for taking the time to learn more about us.

 

If you are reading this, you probably care about photography and are wanting to have your wedding captured in a timeless and beautiful way. You also know that the decision of a photographer is one of the biggest ones you will choose. The food and drinks will be consumed and will be a mere memory at the end of your day, but the thing that will last are the photos. We are blessed to have been able to capture over 200 couples' most significant moments for the last 9 years and have seen the impact photos can have on people's lives. We understand that your day is a life-changing moment for you, and your moments, details, and people are priceless. We look forward to helping guide you through your wedding day and work with all your vendors to ensure that you are well taken care of.

Meet The Grays

Footer-Divider

 Hi! We’re Phil & Briana Gray, a husband and wife team and owners of The Grays Photography (formerly Shades of Gray Photography), established in 2008! We are based in Missouri, but travel all over documenting people in love (we’ve been to Jamaica, Mexico, Florida, Colorado, New Orleans, and more). We’re glad you stopped by and we hope that you take your time looking around, getting a peek into our world and what makes us who we are, and why we love what we do–documenting couples and families that love each other!

The Why:

 Documenting love stories is not simply our profession; it’s our passion. Dreaming, creating, and inspiring are part of who we are individually, and even more so, together. Getting to explore the world capturing timeless photographs with a fresh perspective is our dream come true! We believe photographs are not only precious sentiments of a beautiful wedding day, but your gift to future generations who can look back at the essence of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. What we capture, truly has an impact that spans past your own lifetime, so it’s our goal to capture each couple for who you truly are and the essence of what your day truly felt like.
