Terms:
I require a 40% deposit to book your date. The balance is not due till ten days prior to your wedding. I often receive multiple inquires for the same wedding date. When you inquire I will inform you of any other competing inquiries. I honor first inquires with a 10 day grace period to insure the security of contracting my services. This allows you time to review and discuss collections and get to know me a bit better. I understand how big of a decision it is and will do everything in my power to help you make the best decision possible.
Rehearsal Coverage:
Rehearsal coverage is booked separately from my set collections. I often will book multiple weddings in a weekend so please inform me early if this is something you are interested in. My rehearsal coverage includes coverage of the rehearsal ceremony, rehearsal dinner and the rights to the images that will be presented with your wedding photography. Rehearsal coverage and rights to the edited images costs $1,900
Albums:
If your collection includes an album or if you are interested in an album please let me know and I will send digital examples.

EXPECTATIONS
Griffin was great to work with and produced beautiful wedding pictures. He has a great sense of when to take charge and when to follow the lead of others. He was not overbearing like many wedding photographers are in trying to direct the bridal party (we've all been in a wedding in which the photographer is controlling and wants to run the show). Having never met him until my wedding day, he made everyone feel at ease and made the photo-taking fun. The pictures are fantastic and were delivered in a timely manner. Considering I was an out-of-town bride, Griffin was easy to work with and very responsive. He even took my call when he was overseas on vacation! I highly recommend Griffin Hart Davis Photography.
Griffin was a FANTASTIC photographer. We couldn't be happier with our pictures- they turned out beautifully.

INSIDER TIP NO. 4
Frequently Asked Questions
A. I am a hybrid wedding and portrait photographer, fluent in both digital and analog film photography. I have a degree in commercial photography from one of the nations top photographic programs. Rather than following trends and the latest fads on Pinterest, I strive to create timeless and authentic imagery with an elegant, classic, and clean style. I take a photojournalistic-meets- natural-styled approach to each session I shoot, so I will give you plenty of space, but also be there to help with natural and relaxed posing.
Q. What kind of photography do you offer and what is your style?
A. Both! By shooting digital AND film, I’m able to utilize the strengths of each medium while also delivering a consistent and cohesive wedding collection. There are so many reasons why I choose to include film in my work - from the incredible dynamic range to the timelessness of analog photography - but the main reason is because it allows me to slow down and take my time in crafting each image. To me, shooting film means shooting with intention. That’s not to say that digital images don’t have their place! Digital images have incredible clarity and versatility in tough lighting situations where I want to test different settings in order to capture the moment perfectly.
I want your pictures to be something tangible that you will keep and look back on forever, and shooting a hybrid blend of both digital and film mediums helps me do exactly that.
Q. Do you shoot digital or film?
Frequently Asked Questions
A. Engagement sessions are delivered within 3-4 weeks. Wedding galleries are delivered within 4-6 weeks. Engagement sessions come to 125-200 images and weddings with unlimited coverage come to 600 - 800 images. All images are fully edited. None of the images on this site have had additional retouching for portfolio purposes. These are all the same exact images given to clients.
Q. When will we receive our images? How many images should I expect?
A. If there are any special guests attending your big day, or if certain ceremonies have significant meaning to you, this kind of information is definitely helpful for me to know ahead of time. I also ask if you have examples of photos that took your breath away and want to recreate share away. I will totally accommodate your requests
Q. I found some poses online that I’d love to have done at my wedding. Do you ever work off of a shot list?
Q. Do you travel to weddings?
A. Absolutely! I am based in North Carolina and Portland OR but have photographed weddings all over. My passport is current - just say the word!
Q. We’re ready to book! How do we start the process?
A. WOOHOO! To book your wedding with GHD Weddings, a non-refundable retainer fee of 40% of your balance and a signed digital contract are due. Once those two things are received, your date is fully booked. Final payment is due no later than 10 days before your wedding.
WE ARE SO HONORED TO BE IN THE RUNNING AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS. IF THERE IS ANYTHING AT ALL YOU NEED PLEASE DON’T HESITATE.
HAPPY PLANNING!
thank you
