    Highly Recommend For Top Notch Photography!

    Gwen did the photography for a wedding we had on my venue The Union Exchange in April 2023. She was amazing. So easy to work with and extremely professional... not to mention her photos turned out GORGEOUS! Happy to recommend her to any brides looking for a fantastic photographer.

    Hire her now.

    Gwen is absolutely amazing!!! She is so sweet and kind and the type of hype girl you NEED at your wedding! My husband and I met with Gwen over video chat a few times to get details and a schedule all worked out before the big day. Unfortunately, we were running behind schedule (Not because of anything Gwen did or didn't do. It was completely our fault.) and Gwen was just so great and ran with it. Never once did she stress us out saying we needed to hurry up or get here or there quickly. Looking back at it, I just really appreciated how calm she stayed throughout the craziness. She was so professional; it didn't phase her a bit. And we were able to get all the shots we had told her that we wanted and it was such a wonderful day. Oh, and her photos were AMAZING! Definitely would hire her again, 1000% worth your money!

    Great Photographer

    Gwen is a very good friend of ours and we could not have been happier to have had her capture our special day. She is very organized and responsive. She does a an amazing job with getting the right photo and she really hypes the couple when taking photos. She is great!

    Talented, Fun, & Professional Photographer - Engagements & Weddings

    Gwen does an excellent and professional job with all her shoots and deliverables! I have worked with Gwen for a few individual shoots, and have been so pleased with what she has captured - the tones are natural yet rich and strike a perfect balance.

    After some great experiences with her in individual shoots, we hired Gwen to capture one of the biggest moments for my husband and I - our proposal and then engagement pictures!
    My husband is really not a fan of pictures, but she was able to make the shoot engaging and created a wide range of shots, looks, and sceneries from the same location. The poses she had us do were both natural and creative, but I most appreciate her willingness to work with what we were interested in.

    And the most important part - her edits for the deliverable photos were exactly what we were looking for, and we weren't waiting around for countless months, like you would with many other photographers.

    My only regret is that we now live on the opposite side of the country, which makes it harder to have Gwen do future photos (family, maternity, etc.), but I hear she travels for capturing weddings, so don't let distance be a barrier for hiring her for your big day! You won't regret it!

    Easy decision! Hire Gwendolyn!

    Gwen was incredible!! I would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding or event. She traveled internationally for our wedding and was flexible and a confident traveler. She had excellent communication with the USA and Honduran guests in Spanish and English and was sensitive to cultural differences. We got our full gallery back in good timing and loved every photo! She captured every moment, she was helpful in pre-wedding planning, and she had such a great attitude through it all. Gwen went above and beyond to deliver an incredible package of memories from our wedding day. She did a beautiful job and I couldn’t imagine a better experience.

    The photographer you need

    Gwen was the best investment of our entire wedding. She was so helpful throughout the entire process of planning the day. She was instrumental in helping us make our day-of schedule based on photography needs and making everything go smoothly with everyone involved in the wedding party. She went absolutely above and beyond, creating the sweetest video of the rehearsal dinner and day of the wedding. We absolutely loved that she had such an organized and helpful plan for photos and directed us to make my new husband and I feel comfortable, photogenic, and like the most beautiful couple on the earth. We felt so comfortable working with her throughout the entire process, as she was so kind and easy to work with. She also caught the most beautiful candid shots of every event throughout the night. And of course the photos! There were SO many that were print worthy that we didn’t know which to pick! We couldn’t have asked for better shots, editing, or a higher quantity of quality photos. She was absolutely everything that we could have wanted in a photographer. She helped us understand just how important picking the right photographer is because of how essential she was to the day’s success. My husband and I both agree that Gwen’s work will allow us to fully remember the beauty of our wedding for so many years to come.

    Positively Perfect!

    Gwen was incredible to work with! She went above and beyond the role of photographer at our wedding and went out of her way to make our day as special as possible!!

    Months later, I still have people mentioning how kind our photographer was- several of them even knowing her by name because she took time to meet people!

    Leading up to the day, she was on top of everything! Zoom calls, questionnaires, etc. were exchanged to be sure we were all on the same page with the exact same plan. All her preparations made the day flow so smoothly. She was able to keep everything- even family pictures- on time. Amazing!!

    She was incredible to work with and has an amazing personality. No complains at all- 10/10 would recommend.😊

    Incredible Photographer Experience

    We were so blessed to have Gwendolyn as our wedding photographer! She was very professional, flexible, easy to work with and very personable. While working together leading up to the wedding, she was also in the process of moving out of state, but she made it a priority to come back and be there to take pictures of our big day which meant the world to us! We loved working with Gwendolyn and were so encouraged by her heart and passion for what she does. She was such a joy to work with and made our entire experience so encouraging and enjoyable. She is an amazing photographer who we highly recommend!

    Amazing!!!

    Gwen was so helpful, informative, and patient with all of the photos we needed and/or wanted. She took initiative and instructed us on how to pose and what to do. Everything was great and I didn't have to worry about a thing!

    Wing Woman

    Gwen was such a calming force on an otherwise hectic day. Due to my sister’s delay in her dialysis treatment, we were an hour behind schedule. I was tempted to skip all the photos that I wanted to get to the wedding, but Gwen assured me that I needed to take these moments. (And that a queen is never late to her party.) I am so grateful for her advice. The images she captured have been some of the best memories of that day. I received them promptly and instantly fell in love with them. She was 100% worth the investment.
