Gray Studios Inc

great experience in studio for daughters first communion. however; very pricey. you get things but dont! very expensive. pay attention to what is important. do not order digital or pics on card because you will not be able to print them

You are ok with them as long as Steve Files isn’t the photographer they assign to your venue!!!

I can not say enough fabulous things about Michael and his staff at Gray Studios! They could not have been easier to work with and were always open to accommodating any of our special requests.
From our engagement shoot in Grand Central Station, to our wedding day, to our thank you notes — all the images came out better than we ever could have imagined. We received what seemed like an unending number of compliments from our guests at the wedding about his professionalism and ability to make everyone feel comfortable (he was even able to get my father-​in-​law to smile for pictures which is unheard of). The compliments kept coming as we sent out our thank you notes and many of the guests called to say that they were the nicest wedding thank you notes they have ever received.
Michael has a fabulous eye and did an incredible job capturing all the moments that my husband and I knew we would want to treasure forever.

This photographer is not professional, they are frauds charging professional prices! We used this photographer for our wedding this past Spring and it was a nightmare. They were unprofessional and horrible with the children in our family, the photographer made my niece cry by removing her sunglasses during a photo. They were smoking outside our venue and sat and ate for almost an hour?!? The photos don’t look professional by any standard in fact the only decent pictures we have of my wife and her father coming down the aisle came from our guests. The wedding video was an even bigger waste of money, we get nauseous when we watch it and there are large chunks of time missing. Using Gray Studios was a huge mistake that we regret to this day.

My sister signed a contract with this photographer on 09/​05/​2014 and the wedding was called off on 09/​19/​2014. When Michael was contacted he first lied and callously said that since he had been holding this date for a year, he was going to keep the $ 2300 that he has been paid. No engagement photos were taken yet and no work had been done. When he was called back and it was brought to his attention that the contract was only signed 2 weeks ago his response to my mother was an irritated «Sorry, that is our policy» He said he could only offer a credit which could be used only for a wedding and no other event. My sister then agreed to go ahead with the contract and take family pictures on the day that was supposed to be her wedding so that the money would not be lost. Michael agreed to this and planned to meet with my sister that week to go over the details. Instead of honoring the contract he then called the groom unbeknownst to the bride and asked him to cancel the contract in writing. He told the groom that if he sent him a letter cancelling the contract, then my sister would have a credit in the future in an attempt to not have to perform any work. Michael is unprofessional and unethical and attempting to manipulate the groom into cancelling the contract is appalling. Based on his behavior and attitude during this nightmare that my sister has to deal with, no member of my family would EVER use him and you should really think twice about using him for your wedding. Check all of the other reviews on the internet about him and then use anyone else.

We got married in May of 2014 and had a wonderful experience using Gray studies. After meeting with Michael, we knew from day 1 that this was our photographer. From the engagement shoot, to save the dates, to the actual wedding photos, Michael and his crew have been a pleasure to work with. Michael met with us before the wedding several times to discuss a plan for the day and what photos were «must have» photos. Unlike some of the other photographers we checked out, when you use Gray you get Michael and his assistants, not some assistants you never met (although his assistants are talented too). He works fast, is efficient, and took over 1000 photos at the wedding. To boot… our proofs were ready in 2 weeks — when have you ever seen that!!! You can see whether you look online or walk into his studio, his team are extremely talented and have a great eye for composition. Anyone can take posed photographs, but it takes talent to make the photo look like a work of art. Every one of the pictures was beautiful. I agree with others that they are great with kids; they had my nephews laughing and smiling in all the photos. We just recently sat down with them to create our album, and their suggestions were on the money. The entire crew, Michael, Ken, Bonnie… were amazing to work with. We are very pleased with their work and plan to use them for future events. Thanks to Michael, Ken, Bonnie, and the rest of fhe crew

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS!!! I got married this past August and the only regret I have with my wedding was selecting Gray Studio’s to photograph the event. After receiving our wedding proofs back we were astonished by the quality and quantity of photos. There were only about 500 photos (other photographers we had spoken to said they provide approximately 1000 – 2000 proofs depending on the days events). To name just a few of my grievances — there were barely any usable pictures of my husband and I AT ALL. So much so that we opted not to get an album. The photographer did not take any photos of my family with my husband, not ONE wedding party picture and there were no photos of my husbands face in the church?!? How do you call yourself a professional???
After I confronted the owner of the studio about the caliber of the work, he agreed that there were not a sufficient amount of photos of my husband and I. He then offered to take a session with us again… he wanted us to get dressed up in our wedding day attire again?!? We declined his outlandish offer and after several strongly worded emails he agreed to refund half of our money back, as well as giving us all the proofs on disc.
We took the proofs to another photo studio to get them cropped and blown up and the photographers couldn’t believe the work they tried to pass off as professional. If you are considering using Gray please contact me and I will forward you my proofs and you can see firsthand how awful and unprofessional their work is.
After several months I am still distraught about the lack of photographs I have from the most important and special day of my life. When I look at my friends wedding photos it makes me so sad that my husband I and do not have beautiful images to cherish. Please spare yourself these issues and DO NOT use them. I was not a high maintenance bride and I did not have any issues with any other vendors we selected, Gray was unprofessional and their means of resolution were insulting and rude.
