A man and a woman embracing at the beach, with the man kissing the woman's neck and the woman smiling with her eyes closed, sunlight casting warm glow.
A couple is sitting on the grass in a garden, with the woman sitting on the man's lap. They are both smiling and embracing, with the woman hugging the man's neck. The woman is wearing a white dress, and the man is wearing a light-colored shirt and pants. They are surrounded by greenery and hanging moss from a tree above them.

For the couples with that undeniable

deep and steadfast

all encompassing and consuming

love that will last a lifetime.

NO FRILLS, JUST FEELS.

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer based in the Midwest, but travel often. I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest (where I grew up), over to the West Coast and the East Coast, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

“I am so grateful to have been referred to Grace for our photos! I was in search for a modern photographer who would capture us in a candid and natural way. Grace did just this and more! Communication was clear throughout the process, she showed up early, and even shared sneak peeks of our session on the same day! Prior to meeting, Grace asked me where I wanted to shoot and presented several location options. Not only was she reliable and super easy to work with but our photos came out GORGEOUS. They were far from cheesy- very natural, sweet and just more beautiful than anticipated.”

“Grace was an absolute DREAM to work with! Grace is such a talented artist with her camera. As soon as we started planning our wedding, Grace was the first vendor we booked. Leading up to our wedding day, she was quick to communicate with us and our planner. We loved how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. Grace got us our sneak peeks back the very next day, and we were blown away by the results. Grace was easily the best investment we made for our wedding. We are so thankful for the memories that Grace captured!”

“Grace was an absolute angel to work with on our wedding day! She was super quick to respond to emails from the start, which really made the planning process a breeze. On our wedding day she made us feel so comfortable which allowed us to be ourselves and to truly be present in the moment. She blended in so seamlessly and at times we hardly noticed she was there. We received our photos in a quick and timely manner and they came back better than we could have ever imagined. We are deeply so grateful for Grace’s exceptional talent and wholeheartedly can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to preserve their beautiful memories!!”

My intention is to give you photos that are going to last a lifetime

As someone documenting your day, how the photos look in the end gallery is only one piece of the puzzle. This is important, yes, but I also want you to feel like I’m not only a trusted resource, but someone who you are excited to experience the day with. Experience is everything. I love couples who value their own connection and relationship above all else. I have experience shooting over 250 weddings over the past 8 years, and I focus on capturing candid, honest moments mixed in with artful and documentary style imagery. If you’re wanting wedding photos that make you FEEL something, you’ve found yourself in the right place.

It’s a privilege and honor to document your wedding day, and I want to make sure you can look back on your photos with love for years to come.
