If you’re looking for true-to-life, candid images that reflect your love and the joy of your wedding day, and want to work with a photographer who’s fun, easy-going, and completely reliable, I just might be the perfect fit for you.
At Gretchen Troop Photography, I bring award-winning skills, a seamless business experience, and an unwavering commitment to capturing every candid and unforgettable moment of your celebration. With a blend of technical precision and a passion for real moments, I’m here to tell the story of your day—beautifully framed by the natural beauty of the Colorado mountains.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I live in Boulder, Colorado but shoot in Estes Park more than in Boulder. Nothing in Estes Park incurs a travel fee. For destination weddings I ask for the client to pay air fare (or travel fees if driving, depends on package booked), lodging the night before and the night after the wedding and the extra baggage fees (usually one extra bag) both ways.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I shot my first wedding in 2012 and have shot over 100 weddings.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

True to life with some polarized sunglasses on.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

My packages range from $3,700 to $7,300 for photography only. Prices for video inclusive packages is $8,000 to $17,300.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Studio Photography from Syracuse University's, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. I am also a teacher of Photoshop, Lightroom. My professional memberships are; EPWA (Estes Park Wedding Association), PPA (Professional Photographers of America), NPS (Nikon Professional Services), WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International), SLR Lounge & of course, Fearless Photographers.
