    My dream wedding in Door County

    When my husband asked me to marry him I knew without a doubt Gutzman Photography was who I wanted to capture our big day! Jessica did such an amazing job, she was super accommodating to a few changes and brought out the best out of the day that was brought to us! I would highly recommend Gutzman Photography to everyone!

    Highly recommended!!

    Gutzman photography is highly recommended!! Jessica is very professional, outgoing, flexible, hands down the BEST around. Not only her professionalism, but her quality of work. She takes the time to listen to you and your vision. She makes the day as less stressful as possible. It's always been a dream of mine to have Jessica shoot my wedding and I couldn't be more in love with my edits and the whole experience as a whole!

    Photographer

    Jessica and her team were amazing! They had a great energy and I loved having them capture our wedding. We laughed with them and felt completely comfortable with them. She had great ideas and made it so easy!! I was worried about time but Jessica kept it going and we had plenty of time. She had a happy attitude and great sense of humor. She made sure to capture even the small things, like the memorials we had set up for our dads. Happy and very pleased with Jessica and her work.

    Jessica and her team are amazing! Plus beyond reasonably priced.
    She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. She even helped outline my wedding. She responded to emails quickly! She was on time and ready to go. She was always snapping pictures we never waited around. She truly captured us a couple. We have soo many pictures we love. Not only do we get her beautiful edited pictures she gave us every picture she took. Love her! She has become our photographer for life already talked about future maternity and baby photos!

    I seen Jessica's work through someone else and I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding. I never had a problem with getting a hold of her even when she is busy. She has a great support system that helps her answer client questions when she is not available at the moment but always gets back to you within the noted time frame. She has an upbeat-fun personality but is professional through and through. She made my wedding party and family feel comfortable while taking our photos and was a pro even when it rained during them. I trusted her eye and she captured everything I wanted. I def will go back to her again in the future for other sessions and would 100% recommend her for any occasion.

    Jessica was the first vendor we chose when we got engaged. I know she books quickly, and my husband KNEW that I HAD to have her. She has taken pictures for me since she started in this business and I've always been so pleased!

    Jessica shot our engagement photos and our wedding pics. The previews that she posted shortly after the wedding are breathtaking. I'm dying to see the rest!! This woman has a vision, and I fully trusted her to do her thing. I won't go to anyone else, and I would highly recommend her for your wedding, or any other sessions! And to top it off....she's so funny!!! You'll love her!

    My wife and I were married over the summer and had our engagement pictures in the winter. The weather didn’t cooperate for about 2 weeks and we wer rescheduling almost daily. We felt so bad that we almost just settled for an indoor shoot. But, Jessica wouldn’t let us settle. She accommodated is far beyond what we expected! Our engagement pictures ended up being some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen!!! She not only froze her butt off, working for us on New Years Eve, but she brought all of my wife’s ideas, and her ideas to life. The fact that she continually rescheduled us, and her final date was NYE, and then froze to get my wife the pictures she dreamed of....I can’t say enough about how thankful we are and were to have her! The wedding pictures were amazing as well (and the weather was much better). I don’t think we could have found better! She is our photographer for life.

    Gutaman Photography is simply the best in the area. I've used Jessica for our family photos for about 8 years now, and when my (now husband) proposed I knew I had to have Jessica. I booked her before anything else and she was wonderful to work with. Life got in the way of our wedding and we were forced to move from Janesville to NYC. Jessica still honored our contract and agreed to fly out to NY to do our engagement session. The quality of our photos was beyond anything I could have asked for. Even now that we are permanently in NY, I will not have anyone else do our photos. I will always fly back home, or fly Jessica here to ensure that she is always the one behind the camera.

    Jessica, what can I say? You changed our entire day. The memories you helped us create were amazing. The amount of time you spent slowing me down to capture amount was maybe my favorite. These photos are amazing!! No amount of reviews could explain how fantastic I think you and your team is.

    Jessica is by far the most talented, professional and amazing photographer I have worked with. We first had her do our engagement pictures, which were complimentary with our wedding package, and we were BLOWN AWAY with the results! She captured every essence of who we are. She listened to what our "vision" was for our engagement photos and wedding photos and made everything happen. She made it a point to get to know us and made us feel so comfortable with everything. She is a sought after photographer in the Janesville area so we made sure to get in contact with her short of 2 years before the actual wedding date to book. When setting up the engagement photos I contacted her almost 6 months ahead of time and she was very responsive and responded immediately. We were able to settle on a date during the week and we were in constant communication the day of because there were thunderstorms all day and the shoot was outside. She ensured me that if the weather didn't cooperate that day we would reschedule as soon as possible. Turns out we were able to keep the original day and we had SO.MUCH.FUN. and the results were breathtaking. We received ALL of our photos within a week and and we couldn't wait until the wedding! Our wedding photos turned out just as we had hoped and we were, once again, blown away with the results. She had an assistant photographer with her the day of the wedding in order to capture everything. She wanted to do right by us and asked us, once again, what we wanted and at this point, we just told her to do her thing because she knows 100% what will work and what looks best. We got our preview of our wedding photos back LESS THAN 24 hours later and...WOW. They were breathtaking, stunning, amazing and most of all...us. I HIGHLY recommend Jessica for ANY photos that you need. Her prices are SO within budget and the quality of her work is worth so much more than what she charges. They're not just photos, they're memories and art.

    We flew Jessica down to Florida to photograph our wedding. She took our engagement photos and we had such a great time and loved our pictures so much that we could not imagine anyone else being part of our special day. Jessica and her assistant were both very professional and attentive to our requests for photos with various people during the course of our wedding. Jessica's creativity for different shots is why we love her, and I cannot wait to see the photos of me, in my poofy wedding dress, sitting on the limb of a gigantic oak tree (the groomsmen hoisted me up there)!

    I looked and looked at photographers and kept coming back to Jessica. I was willing to work my wedding date around her availability, lol. Jessica came recommended to me by many friends and family that have all been extremely pleased with her work. We loved our engagement photos and are excitingly waiting for our wedding photos. While she was booked up for 3 months before we could get in for our engagement photos it was worth the wait. I suggest getting dates set up with well in advance to needing them done. She is also very busy so it does take a few days for her to get back to you, but she always responds. We look forward to doing more photos with her in the future.

    Jessica did an amazing job on all our wedding photos!!! She had sooo many visions of pictures that would capture the feelings of that moment. She was game to try just about any photo idea that we came up with. The pictures turned out better than we could ever imagined. She is a very busy lady so she doesn't always respond right away, but don't worry she always responds once she gets the chance. She helped us capture memories that we can keep forever :) I will definitely go to her in the future for our other photo needs!!!

    I have had Jessica Gutzman as my photographer in the past for family pictures. We had loved the way that these had turned out. There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted her to be my photographer. Worst mistake of mine during the entire wedding planning process. We had gotten engaged in December. I booked her by April. She was booked before we had even decided on a venue. I wanted my pictures to turn out great. However; when booking her I told her that we were set on Fall pictures for our engagement session. She wrote this on our contract. I contacted her in late august/early sept. to talk about our engagement session and what things I thought I wanted to do for it. She said that she could not get us in until January. We did not want a winter engagement session. This was not something we ever even talked about. She said that she couldn't accomodate us. We owed her the 30% down. We provided her with $400 upfront and then we gave her 200 more hundred before finding out she didn't have any open slots. She was not easy to talk to at all. She told me that I was one out of 20 other brides that she has for the year. She was not willing to give me money off of my package. I asked for money back on the most expensive package she offers, only because I knew that since she was not going to be providing the engagement session that we had discussed when first booking her then I would have to go somewhere else. A few days later she had posted on her fan page on facebook that she was offering mini sessions. I had questioned why she couldn't fit us in if she was able to do mini sessions for others. She said that this was supposed to be a few of her scheduled days off, but decided to work it. I questioned if we could be in one of these slots. She declined. She was not willing to accommodate us in any way. Needless to say I went with a different photographer for my engagement pictures. They turned out great, so we decided to fire Jessica for our wedding and go with the other one.

    Gutzman Photography's reply:

    Cassandra, I'm sorry that you feel you were let down by my services. The contract you signed in April 2016 for your June, 2017, wedding included a complementary engagement session. While you did specify that you would have liked to have your engagement session happen in the fall, that does not solidify a date in my calendar. When you contacted me on Sept 21st for fall photos, my calendar was already full. As you stated yourself, I book out fairly far in advance. while this is my profession, I rely on my clients to reach out to me to book the appointments in a timely fashion, as I am a small business owner and I don’t have the opportunity to reach out to each individual customer to be certain that they are scheduled for a complimentary session. Despite that, I did my best to find something that would work for you and offered you a number of dates/times that I had available, none of which were suitable to you. Again, this is not something that I am able to control. I specifically offered you a time to come during one of the slots for my already scheduled mini sessions, however you were unhappy with the winter/holiday setup that would be in place. Because your engagement session was complementary, (free with your package) there was nothing for me to discount for that portion of your package. I'm glad you were able to find a replacement photographer and that you are happy with the photos you received. I hope the first 5 months of your marriage have been wonderful!
