Photographer FAQ

Moiragracephotography

Hello, I’m Moira! I’m the owner and main photographer of Moira Grace Photography, and these are my most frequently asked questions.

Q: šŸ“Where are you located?

A: I am based in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, but I am available to travel šŸ™‚


Q: šŸ“ø What’s your photography style?

A: I’d describe my style as timeless, joy-filled, and romantic with a storytelling heart. I’ll guide you into natural, flattering poses when needed (hello dreamy portraits!) but I also love capturing the little in-between moments—the look your groom gives you when he thinks no one’s watching, your dad’s teary smile, your best friends dancing barefoot on the lawn. I want you to look back and feel the day, not just see it.

My editing style is more true to life, and my shooting style is gentle posing that leads to candid shots. Timeless photos are my priority but I’m also up to date with the photo trends.


Q: šŸ“· Can we see a full wedding gallery?

A: Of course! I think it’s so important to see the full story of a wedding, not just the pretty highlight reel. I’ll happily share a complete gallery so you can see exactly how I capture everything—from getting ready in the morning, to golden hour portraits, to your sparkler send-off under the stars.


Q: šŸ’ Do you include engagement sessions?

A: Yes! Most of my collections include an engagement session, and I highly recommend them. It’s such a sweet way for us to get to know each other and for you two to get comfy in front of my camera before the big day. Bonus—you’ll walk away with gorgeous photos for your save-the-dates and a fun memory that feels more like a date night than a photo session.


Q: ā° How many hours of coverage do we need?

A: Every wedding is different, but most of my couples book 8–12 hours so we don’t miss a thing. Together, we’ll go through your timeline and make sure you have the right amount of coverage to capture all the big and small moments. (Don’t worry—I’ll guide you through this so it’s not overwhelming.)


Q: šŸ“¦ What’s included in your packages?

A: All of my collections include:
āœ” Wedding day coverage with me (your personal hype girl + storyteller)
āœ” An online gallery with high-resolution images
āœ” Print rights (so you can share and print however you like)
āœ” A sneak peek gallery within days of your wedding (because waiting is the worst!)
āœ” Options to add a second shooter, heirloom albums, video, or extra hours

I do have package options with my associate photographers in case I’m not personally available for your day!

Q: ā³ When will we receive our photos?

A: You’ll get a sneak peek within a week so you can relive the magic right away, and your full gallery will be ready in about 6–8 weeks. I know the wait feels long, so I always send highlights quickly—because honestly, I get just as excited as you do to see your photos.


Q: šŸ’” How do you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?

A: Almost every couple tells me, ā€œWe’re awkward in photos.ā€ And you know what? That’s never true. I’ll give you simple, natural direction so you can just be yourselves—laugh, snuggle, dance, or run through a field if that feels right. My goal is for you to forget you’re being photographed and just focus on each other. (And if you need snack bribery to relax, I’ve got you. šŸ˜‰)


Q: 🌧 What happens if it rains or something goes wrong?

A: Your wedding day will be perfect because it’s about your love—not the weather. That being said, I always come prepared with backup plans, rain-ready gear, and a calm presence to keep things stress-free. Honestly, some of the most magical photos I’ve taken have been in unexpected conditions—think cozy rain shots under an umbrella or golden light breaking through the clouds.


Q: šŸ“‘ Do you work with a shot list?

A: I always make sure we capture your must-have family portraits and any special requests you have (like recreating your grandparents’ wedding photo or a first look with your dad). Beyond that, I shoot the day as it naturally unfolds—because the real magic is often in the unplanned moments you didn’t even know were happening.


Q:šŸ›” Do you have backup equipment & insurance?

A: Yes, yes, and yes! I bring multiple cameras, lenses, and memory cards, and I’m fully insured (which most venues require). Your memories are safe with me.


✨ At the end of the day, my heart is to serve you well, celebrate alongside you, and capture your wedding day with the same care I’d want for my own love story.
