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!

Josh was an integral part of my day. I cannot tell Bride's enough that there are two things they need before anything else: a great photographer and a wedding planner a week or day of your event. Even if your cake falls apart (knock on wood) and your hair is unbrushed - your photographer is the most important vendor you can hire. You know why? He will know how to style the photo so you don't notice the crack in the cake or that your hair is falling. SO - Don't skimp. Don't cheat yourself. Get a great photographer. He will keep people on track, capture you looking your best even if you look tired, exhausted, crazy-eyed from excitement. Enter, our photographer.

That grin stuck on your face because you married the man you love needs a mirror of record and that is Josh. We were an unruly, crazy bunch running around going nuts and Josh before, during and after the wedding captured all the best moments. My ladies getting ready. My husband with his mates. My cousin bursting into tears when I put on her great-great-grandmother's 150 year old necklace watch, a wedding tradition. My father smiling from ear to ear walking me down the aisle. My mother laughing and enjoying the beauty she created. My father-in-laws merciless roast of my husband and all the adorable children we had in our wedding. He also captured our wedding and reception with the eye of an experienced artist. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for someone with an artists eye, experience and great flexibility. He made the day look like magic. He went above and beyond.

Thank you, Josh!

Josh is a very professional person. He was the photographer on my son's wedding. He went above with the quality of the photographs. The imagines, poses and background are absolutely beautiful!!!!!!

Than soon I contact him, Josh was extremely helpful e immediately provide all the needs for the canvas turn amazing!!!!!! Thanks again Josh!!!!!

Josh was an excellent photographer for our wedding. He went over and above what I expected to make sure that all our special moments were covered. He is not only good with posed shots, but he has an excellent and impeccable eye for capturing the essence of the moment and event in a beautiful way.

Josh Gruetzmacher has been a fantastic photographer to work with. Throughout the entire process, he has been kind, patient, professional, and positive. Importantly, too, Josh did an amazing job of capturing emotion in the photographs he took of our wedding day. We are so happy with our photos! Josh clearly loves what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure things go smoothly and you end up with exceptional photographs that truly capture the love of your special day.

If you want the best, you must have Josh shoot your wedding. No gimmicky photohop tricks that will make your photos look dated later, just great quality photos. He's really fun too and easy to work with.

The photographer was everything I could have ever wanted and more. My husband went to high school with him so it was especially nice to have it more of a personal experience having someone we know as our photographer. His talent is amazing and on the day of we barely notice he was there half the time! and the results are absolutely fantastic! I would highly recommend him for anyone!
