Caitlin & Robert // SF Botanical Gardens Wedding

Two words: HIRE GRETCHEN! Gretchen is absolutely fabulous and I've recommended her to anyone and everyone who will listen.

We booked Gretchen for both our (now postponed to 2021 due to COVID) large winery wedding and our intimate elopement this year. When researching wedding photographers, we were struck by Gretchen's ability to capture authenticity and tenderness and the evocative quality and composition of her shots. After our first intro call, Gretchen's kindness, warmth, and genuine interest in our relationship, values, and love story sealed the deal.

Her approach is not staged or posed, instead she seeks to capture you and your partner's love in its truest, most organic form. She strikes the perfect balance of active coaching (e.g. catching the right lighting, framing the shot) and blending into the background. She was also super flexible and up for anything, expertly finding and capturing amazing vignettes at an unfamiliar location (SF Botanical Gardens). Gretchen made our elopement so so special and we cannot wait to have her shoot our big wedding next year as well!
