True to life moments and edits of your nostalgic memories
What Motivates and drives us
5+ Years 100+ Weddings
Let's be honest, your wedding day is a whirlwind! Between the vows, the toasts, and those dance floor moves (practice those!), it might feel like a blur. But guess what? Your photos are there to capture the magic, the laughter, and all the feels.
That's why I'm all about creating a stress-free, joyful experience. Forget awkward poses and forced smiles. I'm Here to capture genuine moments and make sure you're having the best time ever. Because when you're relaxed and having a blast, the photos practically radiate pure joy and show that true to life look.
Mckinley was a blast to work with during our photo shoot. He made me feel comfortable the entire time. I would definitely recommend him!! Excellent work and quality of photos.

states we've visited
While I am not out capturing amazing weddings, I am hanging out with my kids playing board games, and traveling to new places, trying all the new foods, giving them an experience, and helping to fill my families' story.
Hi there, I am McKinley Griggs. A proud father, loving husband, puppy dad, and obsessed with photography and coffee of all kinds.
I do love all photography, but wedding photography is very near and dear to me. I love capturing that important wedding day moment for my couples that they will carry on throughout their history, something nostalgic. Something that brings you back to your wedding day, like it was yesterday.

The world of film is magical! Purchase Prints from our gallery
Each and every place we visit have been around much longer than we have, it seems only appropriate to capture these locations on something old, like film.

The effects of light.
The reason digital took over the photography industry was the amount of images you could produce and seeing the results. What was lost was the way light is handled, film still has a place in the world.

Imagine an old machine that still works perfectly
A film camera, most people will see it and think "that is an old camera". I can tell you from experience that the look and feel of the machine producing an image is important and nothing will replace film, no matter how old. There is a feel to the image and anticipation.
