Gretchen Troop Photography started in film photography, where Gretchen obtained a Bachelors of Science degree in Illustration Photography from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communication. Rather than follow the studio photography path that the degree was intended for, Gretchen threw herself into landscape photography and made a life out of finding striking colors in nature and selling the photographs to businesses and individual clientele. Alongside professional live music and landscape photography she began photographing musicians for their album covers and promotional photography, learning lighting in the field rather than studio. In 2012 a music fan asked Gretchen to photograph a wedding and her love of the profession was born. Now working regularly in the mountains of Colorado, Gretchen specializes in environmental portraiture for engagements and skilled photojournalistic wedding photography with striking mountain portraits. Gretchen is a strong believer in constant improvement and education and performs her craft skillfully and passionately.

“Gretchen is FANTASTIC. She has such an eye for the perfect photo and her mastery of lighting is breathtaking. And it’s not just that she’s INCREDIBLY talented in her trade, but she is so personable and easy to work with. It felt like we had a friend with us on our wedding day (and engagement shoot!). We will 100% use her for future portraits and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for STUNNING photos. She is a MASTER at her craft.”
A Master of her Art!
“Gretchen is incredible! Not only is she an AWESOME human to get to know, but she is so incredibly talented at capturing photos and lighting in the perfect manner. We used her for our wedding in Sept 2020 and then again for our anniversary photos each year since. (Just had another session earlier this week!) She truly captures the emotion and essence of a couple in her photography — and the photos are seriously stunning every time. Will recommend Gretchen for Any / ALL photo needs — but especially to capture that special day.”
