I'm Gretchen, a 28 year old CT based Photographer. I grew up in a very small town with a love for all things Art. Whether it was performing arts, music or studio art, I loved having a way to express myself. I Graduated from Marist College in 2017 with a degree in Digital Media and have been working as a professional photographer since 2018. I started my photography business in 2021 and have enjoyed capturing love stories all over New England ever since. Photographing Weddings and Couples are my favorite but I also shoot other Events and Portraits as well. I absolutely love the art of Photography and preserving memories that will last a lifetime!
I'm so happy you're here
Welcome!
A few other random facts about me...
I have terrible Seasonal Allergies. I will most likely get emotional during your vows and first dances. I’m all about comfort and “athlesiure”. But love to get dressed up fancy on the rare occasion.
I love Ariana Grande and a night out to the Theatre. My favorite musicals are Wicked and Hamilton and love singing Kareoke with my friends. I love Fanny packs, nerds gummy clusters, pop-corners, coffee, spicy margaritas, going new places, the beach, and being outside!
If you got that reference, I already know we're going to be a good match! I’ve actually been blonde, brunette and a redhead. You never know what you're going to get although I will not be going back to red. I usually keep my hair back or in a top bun :) That's the former dancer in me. I'll definitely be dancing alongside you at your reception.
I'm not a morning person, but if it means getting that perfect light I'm in! I'm a sucker for golden hour and will ALWAYS let you know what time golden hour is.
"Thats why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets."

My Process
I love to get to know you to make sure we are a good fit. Once you submit your inquiry, I'll get back to you with my availability and setup a consultation with you and your fiancé! I love zoom calls so I can see your faces and we can just get to know each other! I'll tell you about my process and listen to your love story and where you are in the wedding planning process. From there, I'll draft up an example timeline on how I anticipate your wedding day flowing and provide a recommendation on hourly coverage if you're unsure.
I'm here to capture the moments that are most important to you which is why I offer custom packages. From there you'll decide on a package and I'll draft your proposal and contract. All can be signed and completed digitally. Your deposit is due upon signing the contract and the remaining payments can be split however you choose!
