Touch of Grace took beautiful pictures at the weddings of both my children, the first in 2009 and then again in 2010. It is very important to Michael that his clients are happy and he goes above and beyond to make sure they are. He truly enjoys his work and it shows in his pictures. Michael captures the special moments of your wedding day that might be missed by another photographer. Every picture is a precious memory I will cherish always.

Hi Michael! We received the card & movie tickets you sent us in the mail recently, and we wanted to say THANK YOU for the sweet gesture! Maybe I can drag Scottie to see Sex and the City 2 with me?? Haha – something tells me that proposal will be met with opposition. ;) We’re looking forward to seeing you in a month! I can’t believe it’s almost here.
-Colby (and Scottie)
Touch of Grace exemplifies a different type of approach rather than traditional wedding photography. We desired a somewhat unusual location (Caesar’s Head, Bald Rock) for our small ceremony & it was important to capture the ceremony & the mountainous beauty. The accommodation, willingness to find what you are looking for & expound upon that with their creativity in pose, props, & simply a natural talent for their ‘eye through the lens’ is unmatchable! They lend a sense of grace in the ‘air of their presence’ with the wedding party & the guests. Not only was it a frequent comment of what a sense of southern grace they showed but, once the unveiling of their work was passed around, we have had so many complements of our pictures. I advise everyone who wants a special time of their lives captivated by unmatchable talent to treasure forever to take a few moments & simply find out for yourself the awe of their work & be honored to have their work done for you as well!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! Michael, the owner and main photographer, was such a pleasure to work with. You get the most for your money with him. I got the smallest package and it included, unlimited time the day of the wedding, full copyrights to all of the pictures, an 11x14 portrait, a 20 page proof book and an 8x8 hard bound album. Also, 3 photographers were at the wedding and that made it so much easier getting the bride and groom pictures before the wedding so much easier.

Michael,
We want to thank you for working with us in getting the perfect picture package that we were looking for at the price range that worked for us. You were very patient while organizing the planning with us over the phone since we had to take care of most of our wedding from Canada, and your services were everything we hoped for. You did a wonderful job at capturing the highlights of one of the most important days of our lives. The way you incorporated yourself around the ceremony rather than making everyone else bend to you made the wedding run smoothly and easily. You were wonderful with our guest and allowing them to take pictures around you. We love the album that you made for us, I have never seen anyone with a wedding album quite like that one. It was beautiful and creative and i loved the collage work. We would highly recommend you to any family and friends looking for a photographer. Thanks again for making our special day last forever!!Sincerely,
Peter & Cherish
Michael,
Misty's pictures are beautiful!! That was such a pleasant surprise for all of us! So glad that we found out about you. You do amazing work!Love,
Brandy- the bride's sister

I'm not just saying this because Misty is my daughter, but the picture on the cliff could be on the cover of the Bridal Magazine. Misty looks like a model on the cliff and in the close up picture. These pictures are beautiful. I am so thankful we found Touch of Grace, the name says in all. I would like to thank Touch of Grace and highly recommend them.Janice Moon
Michael,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having "Touch of Grace" do our photographs for Ashley and Nick's special day. Not only did you guys go above and beyond but you made it fun and creative. I will definently be using "Touch of Grace" for all of my "Special" Events in the future and I have already been putting your name out there to those who have upcoming weddings. Take care and thanks for everything!Nina
Michael,
I would rate you guys a 10.
I say this because you were always so cooperative and willing to work with any quirks I asked for. The pictures were absolutely beautiful! Great package for the bride at a great price! You made the effort to come the night before to get shots and see where the best shots could be taken at. Like I told you before, when I get pregnant and get belly pictures done, you will be the one I come to because I know I can count on the quality of the pictures.
Honestly, I don't think I can think of anything to tell you to improve on really. My experience with you guys was wonderful. With the wedding, I remember more positives with the photography and the interaction with the bridal group more than the people at the actual location of the wedding.Nickie
Hey Michael,
We have loved looking at the pictures from the wedding. They are beautiful!! We are having such a hard time figuring out what we want that I thought that I would ask you what would be best for us to do. I guess the big question is what do we do next? You would have made it a lot easier if you had taken some bad pictures but there is not a bad one in the bunch!! We really enjoyed working with you. It made it a lot of fun! Call me or email me as to what I need to do.
Thanks,Paige
Hi!
I know, I know. It has been far too long since the wedding for me to be getting back to you about our picture selection. I am so sorry. It was a long and arduous process thanks in large part to the fact that you took so many amazing photos! I am really looking forward to seeing the finished album. I hope everything is going well with you and I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate all of your work with this wedding. You were the most perfect photographer I could have hoped for and I think that the pictures are fantastic! So thank you, thank you, thank you.Christy
Hey Michael,
Just wanted to let you know I've been looking at the photos you posted...they are so amazing! I sat here with a smile on my face the entire time, it brought each moment right back to me as I looked at the photos. Everyone has commented on how good you were and I agree, as far as the fact that you got so many good pics but it wasn't obvious that you were there. It was very professional yet relaxed, felt very natural yet so special. Again we are so impressed, will definitely recommend you to anyone who asks..I am working on picking out favorites but there are so many good ones that it will take me a minute! I'll be in touch.Thanks,
Emily
Michael,
We love our pictures and have had MANY MANY GREAT compliments on our photos. Everyone (us included) loves the way you did our album. You truly helped make our wedding day a dream come true! And, thanks to you we can relive that day just by looking at our pictures whenever we want. We are doing great. Please tell your wife we say hello and thanks to her too!!! Please let me know if I can do anything else to help you out!
Thanks again!!!Kelly Hood
Michael,
I am sorry I am so late sending this. Your website looks great. And our photo albums are wonderful.
Michael, you did an awesome job in recording one of the most precious moments in our lives. You have created pictures that will forever help us remember the joy and love of that special day. With seemingly endless patience, you snapped every important step of the wedding day along with some comical and questionable steps!!
The pictures are beautiful. The attention to detail is wonderful, the unusual poses magnificent. Then, to see them arranged in such a unique way for our wedding album is just hard to describe. We loved it and we grew to love you.
To you and your precious wife who was such a blessing that day, we thank you. You are a very talented photographer and your work reflects your love for what you do. You became one of our family that weekend and we will always remember your enthusiasm and willingness to make sure we were pleased with the finished product. Pleased we are and will recommend your services every time we get the opportunity.
Keep up the good work!Terry and Nancy Smith
Michael,
Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun working with you. If you ever need a couple to model or anything.... we are available haha. Thanks so much again and we will remember you the next time we need a photographer. Thanks and God blessAngie Gadagno
I just wanted to tell you how pleased we were with the photos you took of our wedding at the B&B in Simpsonville on October 6th, 2007.
From the very beginning you worked with me through the whole process and helped me pick out the best package for our needs.
Since I was planning my wedding from out of state you sent me a ton of useful information, all the way down to a photo checklist!
Your prices are exceptionally reasonable and would not have changed a thing. I might not have made it the easiest for you, being it was my first wedding I really had no idea what I was doing.
You made your time at the B&B very effective by taking many lovely photos of friends, family and the grounds while we tried to organize the whole process.
All of my guests really enjoyed having you there and loved talking to you, when you weren't taking pictures.
I would recommend your services to anyone I meet. No offense, but I hope I don't need to book you again!Sincerely,
Mrs. Codi Skipper
Michael,
I just had a chance to review the photos that you took of my wedding. I am soo pleased! You did such a great job! I loved every single one of them. You did such a great job with what you had to work with as far as the room I got ready in and all the mirrors and the difficult lighting and the rain. I know it was a little challenging with everyone wanting to take pictures the same time you were. I didn't realize such a small crowd would be so difficult. I do realize that I got a little snippy towards you too. I am sorry about that. I am sure that you get that all the time though. I am so glad that you were able to be a part of my special day. Thank you so much! I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know.
Let us know how the picking out the photos for the book works. I'm sure you told us but I don't remember.Thank you so much!
Melanie
Hey Michael,
