I was so blessed to have Gretchen be our photographer on my most special day. From the moment I met her she made me feel so comfortable and I valued her honesty. As a bride, I found it very easy to stress over small details. Gretchen is not only the most knowledgable photographer I know but also knowledgable in the whole bridal industry. If it were not for Gretchen I do not know what I would have done. She saved me several times including fixing my dress when the bussel broke during my first dance. She was so calm that I never knew what had happened. She made me feel so at ease. My entire bridal party had told me how much they enjoyed "my photographers." The groomsmen loved working with Buddy too! He even helped the groom with his tux. I never knew that when I chose Gretchen to capture my special day that I would make such a dear friend. She is worth every penny and even more! She does not disappoint! I have recommended several brides and will continue to do so!

As a mother of the bride, I could not have made it through the wedding day without Gretchen. While I was attending to the small details she was there 100% for my daughter. Her and Buddy are more then photographers they truly were a part of the whole wedding scenario. My husband who is does not feed into emotions actually teared up at the sight of my daughters bridal portrait, exclaiming that Gretchen's work is truly a gift. The final product was beyond my expectations!! I was blown away with emotion watching the DVD and still play it daily, reliving every moment. It is always with pleasure that I recommend Gretchen to my closest friends.

Gretchen was a God send for my wedding. I had interviewed many other photographers in the area and just did not find exactly what I was looking for until I found Gretchen. Her prices were comparable to the others, only her packages offered more (i.e, proofs, DVD slideshows, shawdow box, coffee table books,engagement and bridal sessions, etc....) I feel like I got what I paid for plus some! Gretchen went the extra mile to make my day special. There were a few pictures that she took during our engagement session where the lighting did not turn out like she wanted due to the weather and she called us back in to remake the pictures- most photographers would not have gone to that trouble. She gave me advise along the way that really made a difference on my special day. Gretchen has now photographed my family 5 times and I have been very pleased with each session. I will continue to use Gretchen for my family pictures- her Christmas cards are awesome! Gretchen is not just my wedding photographer she is now my life long friend! I have recommended her to several friends and I will continue to do so.

Gretchen was awesome at my wedding! I had a couple of stressful moments, as every bride has on her wedding day, and Gretchen was always there to calm me down and help me focus on the actual reason for this special day and not worry so much about the small mishaps. The quality of the pictures she took were unbelievable! i can look at every picture i have from my wedding day and it takes me back to that moment! She is definitely worth every penny and i couldn't imagine my wedding day any different!! I would definitely recommend Gretchen B Photography to anyone and everyone who wants there special day to be as special as mine was!!

Gretchen is a great photographer by and large. Gretchen is very opinionated and gave us a lot of unsolicited advice which I did not think was necessary. For the price of her services, I feel like she could offer more flexibility in her packages and more choice in the photos you actually get for your money.

Vendor recommendation from Two Hearts Weddings and Events

I have known Gretchen and Buddy of Gretchen B Photography for years now and just love when we have an event to work together. They are both so kind to my couples and always treat everyone involved in the wedding with utmost respect. They always do their homework prior to shooting a wedding by visiting the locations if they have never photographed there before. They do this to eliminate any surprises on wedding day. As a wedding planner, this always reassures me that I won't have any photography-related issues to worry about on the day of. Gretchen is a very caring and considerate photographer and takes the time to get to know her clients well before the wedding day putting them at ease on the big day. It shows in their photographs with my clients looking calm and relaxed throughout all their photos. I HIGHLY recommend Gretchen B Photography to photograph your special memories!
