Josh Gruetzmacher came highly recommended by our fantastic wedding planner Jess Haro, and he was simply incredible. Not only were his photos, everything that I could ask for but his disposition throughout the entire wedding was a blessing. Showing up much earlier than needed, he not only captured exquisite photos but helped our wedding planner Jess, who indeed was overworked due to COVID related limitations, to set up and serve the wedding. Trying to minimize the number of people present, he did everything from photography to being a server throughout the marriage. He went above and beyond the call of duty.

Even right before the ceremony, he accidentally split his pants. Taking the whole situation in stride, this did not prevent him from capturing some of the most intimate moments of the day. My husband and I's favorite photo were created because he caused us to laugh about how comical the whole situation was. We look both natural and very happy, a testament to his character and skills as a photographer.

Abiding by all the strict constraints we had due to being as COVID safe as possible, he put everyone at ease and made 6 feet of distance look natural in many of our photos. I cannot thank him enough for everything he did and would highly recommend Josh. He is a real gem!

My husband had very little to do with our wedding planning process. He did insist on one thing, however, and that one thing was hiring Josh Gruetzmacher. I am so, so glad he did.

As soon as we looked at Josh's online portfolio, we knew he had the exact style that we wanted for our big day. And as soon as we sat down to talk to him in person, there was no question that we wanted him to spend one of the most important days of our lives with us.

Josh captures the best candid images I've ever seen. Somehow he manages to be in the exact right place at the right time to get everything. As we look at the beautiful album he put together for us, we get to relive our perfect day over and over again. He captured every moment -- from the emotion of our ceremony to the humor of the speeches to the craziness of the dance party. It was nearly impossible for us to narrow down the over 1,000 images he gave us to choose from.

Not only did Josh expertly chronicle the entire day for us, but he was also a pleasure to hang out with. I can't help but smile when I think about how Josh popped some champagne for the bridesmaids on the ride over to the church and masterfully dealt with groomsmen who were panicking about missing cocktail hour to take more photos.

If you want to have the most beautiful photos of your wedding day so that you always remember each moment, hire Josh. He made us look way better than we actually look. He kept those who were stressed out calm throughout the day. Our guests loved him.

He is the best.

Josh was an amazing photographer! In addition to taking great photos, he was a joy to work with and put everyone in our wedding at ease. With his kind, calm demeanor and playful sense of humor, Josh truly brought out the best in my husband and me. The pictures were awesome!
