"Gretchen is absolutely AMAZING!! Our wedding photos turned out beautifully and Gretchen helped to make our day run so smoothly! She was always quick to respond, organized, and helped us bring our vision to life. I would HIGHLY recommend Gretchen as your photographer. On top of being an amazing photographer she is also the kindest person in the world! I am so happy we had the chance to work with her!”

“Gretchen was absolutely fabulous and we cannot recommend her enough! We worked with Gretchen for our June wedding in Chicago and every step of the process went so smoothly from our first inquiry to receiving our full gallery just over a month later. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and made sure we got everything out of the experience that we were hoping for. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were absolutely gorgeous and it’s almost impossible to choose favorites. She effortlessly captured who we were, our love, and our day. BOOK NOW!”

“Gretchen is wonderful! So much so, she did our proposal, engagement and wedding photos! From the beginning she was easy to communicate with and super personable. She does a great job at making you feel comfortable while posing and getting great shots. Poor girl had a boot on her foot for my wedding and drove on it and powered through all day. I especially love how her photos are edited just right and don't come across as super "edited". I love looking at our pictures around our house every day. I'm so happy my husband found her and we were able to work with her multiple times. Would highly recommend Gretchen to anyone looking!”

“Gretchen photographed our backyard wedding in August, and I would recommend her to anyone, and have been! Gretchen was so easy and pleasant to work with. She worked hard to capture every detail of the occasion among some tight timelines, and we couldn't be happier with how all of the pictures turned out.”

“To put it simply, Gretchen is the BEST! My words are going to fall short of just how incredibly talented she is as a photographer and how wonderful she is as a person (but I'll do my best). Gretchen has mastered the art of balance- she is both professional and hysterical, kind and direct, creative and authentic. We truly could not have asked for a better person or photographer to capture our engagement shoot and wedding day. Not only are our pictures my favorite, but every picture she takes is the best photographed on my social media feed (i truly stop and admire every photo she takes/posts). Gretchen is able to capture genuine and authentic moments while making the entire experience of being in front of the camera more fun and comfortable than I ever could have imagined. I could not recommend Gretchen more!”

“Words are not enough to express how grateful I am to have had Gretchen at our wedding! Gretchen is not only an extremely talented photographer (look at her photos!), but on the day of the wedding she was also my kind best friend with a calm heart. Gretchen's communication and planning throughout the entire planning process was excellent. I am obsessed with our wedding photos and look through them almost every week. I loved our wedding photos so much that I also hired her for my updated professional headshots. Thank you so much Gretchen for everything! We will definitely be hiring you for any other future photography needs. If you are reading this review, do yourself a favor and hire Gretchen for your photography needs!”

“Gretchen is incredibly talented, kind, supportive, understanding, and professional. She wants nothing but the best for you from the moment you have your first call all the way through every bit of your wedding day. We are so lucky to have stumbled upon her Instagram & website after we got engaged, and we are obsessed with our whole gallery. Making an album is going to be impossible because how will we choose?! She made sure to capture all the emotions of such a special day and we cannot thank her enough for her dedication to our photos!!”

“Gretchen was incredible and so professional. We loved our photos and she was so communicative and collaborative before the shoot, during, and after. Could not recommend her enough and her creativity really shines in her work!”

“Gretchen did an amazing job making us feel so comfortable and natural for our engagement session! She was able to capture so many candid moments and made the experience truly enjoyable. We love our pictures and will also look back fondly at the time spent being silly together taking them. Thank you Gretchen for capturing this special moment in our lives!”

“Gretchen is absolutely wonderful to work with! My wife and I book a couples photoshoot with her every year, and she always delivers the most stunning photos that garner many compliments! I also love how Gretchen makes us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has so many great tricks to get us to pose naturally, resulting in beautifully authentic photos that showcase our personality. On top of that, Gretchen is so witty and we're constantly laughing throughout the session (which also results in great photos)! She truly makes each photoshoot fun and easy. If you're looking for an immensely talented and kind-hearted photographer, we absolutely recommend Gretchen!”

“Gretchen is simply amazing! From the minute we met her and started our engagement shoot, she made the whole experience so comfortable, easy, & fun! We walked into the session nervous and left saying "we can't wait to do this again on our wedding day!" She made sure to photograph any moments or shots we specifically wanted but also captured all the beautiful candids that are our favorites now. The photos look natural and really encapsulated what the day was for us. Highly recommend using Gretchen!”

“Gretchen is the best of the best! Once she arrived (early), she noticed both my fiance and I were nervous and uncomfortable with it being our first photoshoot. She knew what prompts to say to get us laughing and feeling comfortable which resulted in the best pictures. Within minutes we were in our element and it ended up being so much fun! You could definitely tell her creative juices were flowing and she had amazing suggestions along the way that totally captured our personalities. We were on such a high after and couldn't stop talking about how great she was. She got us our sneak peak pics THE NEXT MORNING and the remainder of the pictures a few days later and we were in awe of how incredible they were. It made us feel so special to have someone that was a complete stranger, to capture our love so perfectly. She also shot my sister's family portraits and could not have done better. Gretchen is such a gem to work with and I feel so lucky we landed on such talent!”

“I absolutely loved working with Gretchen! She captured my little family BEAUTIFULLY on a hazy fall day and the end result takes my breath away. She gave us a priceless gift, frozen in time, of what life was like with our son at 6 months old. Family photos with a little one and a dog can be stressful and she made us all feel relaxed, comfortable and totally at ease in front of the lens. Would love to work with her again!!”
