About GMS

Hello! I’m Ryan, owner of Gray Mustache Studios

And this is me on my wedding day! Hard to believe, but I’ve been working weddings for the better part of a decade already. And, I bet you’re wondering where the name came from. For as long as I can remember, my dad sported a gray mustache. Not a beard, not a handlebar, just a regular old mustache. Sadly, several years before I got married, my dad passed away from cancer. Now, to honor his legacy, his gray mustache can live on in the work I do, capturing the moment before they pass.

This is also me, at my day job

6 to 4, Monday through Friday (with a rotating day off mixed in), I’m a career firefighter in Howell. I started as a volunteer, and then when the opportunity arose to take a career position, I jumped on it.

And this is my wife Olivia

Who, unbeknownst to her, signed up to be my free labor when I need someone to help out. Don’t worry, I don’t force her to join me too often. But from time to time, you’ll get the pleasure of having her at your wedding as well.

What Sets Our Weddings Apart

The Experience. Everyone is different, and every wedding is different. We focus on tailoring your videography package to be exactly what you’re looking for. We are non-intrusive, meaning on your special day, it stays about you, and we work to capture your day without you even realizing it. That way we get natural moments that hold meaning.

Our Delivery. A unique experience requires getting your video delivered uniquely, too. That is why all of our couples get their video(s) sent to them on a keepsake USB and a video frame. Just like pulling out your wedding album, you can walk over to your video frame and relive your wedding day any time you want. No need to sit down at a computer or pull up your phone. Your video will forever be a part of your home.
