Gretchen and team did an amazing time at our wedding reception! She was warm and caring and the pics came out amazing. They were able to find the most perfect shots. They even stayed a little longer while guests were enjoying the photo booth. If your looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend.

Gretch is simply AMAZING! She is so much more than a talented photog! From the point of first contact to delivering our pics - she was nothing shy of attentive. Her experience and professionalism truly shines through. We got our "sneak peak" of our little man - and I teared up. She was able to capture the tenderness of a new family beautifully. If youre thinking about using Gretchen for any of your photos - just DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed! She captured memories & moments our little family will cherish forever

Booking the right photographer was at the top of our priority list. Gretchen was enthusiastically referred to us and we quickly set up an in-person meeting. Gretchens personality and positive energy is contagious. We knew that night she was who we wanted to photograph our special day. Gretchen proved to be the very best choice, time and time again, through two pandemic postponements and a 2.5 year engagement. When the big day finally arrived, she found a way to somehow make two brides each feel like the center of the show. We felt beautiful and special and honored to be working with Gretchen. Our sneak peek was ready in less than 24 hours and was everything we hoped for. I would recommend Gretchen Bell to anyone looking for beautiful, timeless, show-stopping photography and a boss of a photographer. Shes a gem. 10/10.

Gretchen was the photographer for my daughters wedding. I met Gretchen at a wedding I was at years earlier. I saw her in action, and knew she would be perfect for my daughter. Their personalities just matched. The 3 of us met at a coffee shop and we knew right away Gretchen would be perfect. Her attention to detail, her creativity to get the perfect shot you havent seen before, and they way she just connected with everyone involved with the wedding that day was over the top. My daughter had given her a list of the pictures she wanted taken after the ceremony with family. We have been at many weddings where it is an hour + until the newlyweds get to enjoy their reception. My daughter chose to do a first look with her groom before the ceremony, so most pictures were finished ahead of time. Gretchen would look at the list Mandy gave her, and stuck to that list. It took 30 minutes, and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. The rest of the evening were candid shots of guests and the newlyweds just enjoying the evening. It was to the letter exactly what we wanted, and the pictures are absolutely breathtaking. Gretchen is worth every penny.

When our photographer called with glee to tell us that he booked Gretchen as the second photographer for our wedding, we knew she had to be someone very special. From the first meeting with Gretchen, she made us feel like lifelong friends (and we hope to become that!!). We loved having her be a part of our day because she meshed so well with us, our families, and our wedding party. Its also so evident how much she loves being a wedding photographer. It didnt seem like she was at work; she seemed to truly enjoy the day with us, which in turn put us at ease in front of the lens.
Aside from being a wonderful person to be around on your wedding day, Gretchen is just a fantastic photographer. Your wedding is an incredibly intimate day and one of Gretchens greatest strengths as a photographer is capturing the rollercoaster of emotions in her images. Its going to be hard deciding which photographs to frame/put in an album because they are all gorgeous.
We cant thank Gretchen enough for giving us the gift of her photography. BOOK HER!
