Hello.

I’m CJ - photographer, videographer, and owner of Grae Images.
From singing, playing in bands, acting, and modeling, I’ve always had my foot in the creative world. And when I picked up a camera nearly ten years ago, it just made sense. Since then, I’ve been working on my skill, and continually striving to make new connections to capture unique stories.

Whether you’re planning your dream wedding, listing your freshly renovated property, or looking for photos that capture the things that matter most to you,
I’m here for it all. So let’s do it.

Meet the Team

Hey! I’m CJ Grae, a self-taught photographer out of Wilmington, NC who specializes in real estate and lifestyle photography and video. I’ve been doing photography professionally for close to 3 years and can honestly say, I don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. My wife and I moved to Wilmington the day after our wedding back in 2020, so that should tell you a lot about us. When I’m not behind the camera you can find me out in the ocean catching some waves (poorly), force cuddling my cat, Mello, or binge watching a show with my wife. I love meeting new people and making new friends. Looking forward to creating with you!

    “It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. I wanted to do both — providing high-quality media for every aspect of life is my objective. Taking care of you and your client is my priority.”

“Beautiful photo shoot with a beautiful soul! CJ makes you feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He has a genuine creative eye. I am so pleased with my photos and would highly recommend booking him for any and all of your photo needs! Cannot wait to work with him again in the future:)”
