"I highly recommend Gerritsen Photography for any of your photography needs. She took pictures at my wedding. She was very professional, and was sure to work with me to take any picture that I may have wanted. She's the sweetest person, and has a very calm persona, so she's able to sooth away those wedding jitters. When I viewed the pictures, they were gorgous. They turned out better then I ever imagined. We were even honored to make her webpage. I assure you that Danielle is the "real deal" and she will honor you the best she can." -Julie Hatfield

"I am happy to be a reference for you ANY time you need one. Your work is very artistic, very subtle, but very profound. It amazed me how "invisible" you seemed, yet you were everywhere. I also truly appreciate the family shots that you took for us...it makes my mom VERY happy to see everyone together. Mostly, I love the fish-eye shots of the ceremony and also the sunset shots in the old mill...all of which are just beautiful. I envy your talent and your eye! GREAT JOB!..They are WONDERFUL! You did a fabulous job and we are so very pleased" -Jane Regan
"We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE our pictures!! Thank you so much--you did an amazing job capturing our day! : ) We're both just getting back to work and definitely had an unexpected surprise when you had the pictures posted before we even got home! We're already picking out spots for them on our walls and with all of the wonderful pictures we're not sure we'll have much wall space left. Everyone in the bridal party and the guests at the wedding had so many great things to say about you so I'm sure they'll be blown away when they see the pictures! Thank you so much!!!" -Jamie and Chris Robertson
"We were so impressed with the outcome of the pictures, literally every single picture was amazing! We received so many compliments on how great the pictures were and no one even noticed Danielle was there taking the pictures.

"Gerritsen Photography made our wedding day perfect. She took all the pictures we wanted and they were amazing. She was open to going to different places to take fun pictures. The best part was that we didn't even know that she was there. She took pictures that I didn't even know she was taking. It was perfect! I would use her again for any event for my family. She was an amazing person to work with and took amazing pictures." -Abby Murphy Tormey
"We and our families were so happy with how our wedding photos turned out. Danielle has been great to work with since our first correspondence.

We are extremely appreciative and highly recommend her!" -Anne and Anthony Gainey
"We loved your work. You were the perfect fit for our wedding. You were not in the way and you caught so many aspects of our wedding that we missed. The formal and informal pictures were all great! We've gotten so many compliments on our photos. You worked very quickly and for a very reasonable price. We've already recommended you to friends getting married. Thank you so much for everything!" Warm regards, Rachel and Will Baldini
"After looking and interviewing over a dozen photographers, we took a chance on hiring you, even though we had never met you before, based on your website and email responses. You were such a joy to work with on our special day. You were also very hard working and took lots of great shots! Thank you again for making our day so very special!"-Lorran Garrison and Justin Tracy
"You did a fantastic job on our photos, and we have been addicted to pictage since receiving the notification, thank you!!! Everyone raved about how sweet and unobtrusive you were on our wedding day, and we both wholeheartedly agree. We are so pleased with the photos you took, from the stunning formals to the fun and touching variety of candids you captured throughout the evening. You are one of only two of the wedding professionals we hired throughout the process that we were truly pleased with, and in fact, you exceeded our expectations. We will fondly recommend you to friends and aquaintances." -Scott & Melissa Hegarty
“My husband Travis and I were married on September 20, 2008, and Danielle did an AMAZING job on our photos. From the first day I met with her, I knew that I did not have to stress about the photography because she was so professional and helpful. I spoke with Danielle MANY times before the wedding day to talk about pictures and she was always there with answers to my questions. When the wedding day finally arrived, Danielle made it a very calm and enjoyable experience. To be honest with you, there were times I didn’t even realize Danielle was snapping a picture, and those tended to be my favorites. My husband was very nervous about getting his picture taken. He is not a big fan of cameras, but Danielle reassured him that it would be quick and painless. Believe it or not, he actually enjoyed the whole experience. Danielle picked amazing backdrops for our pictures and to this day, friends and family members are still raving about how beautiful all the pictures came out. We couldn’t be happier to have had Danielle taking the pictures at our wedding. We are so thankful to her and her amazing talent! Thank you Danielle; WE LOVE YOU!" -Travis and Jennifer Sandsted
"Danielle was everything you'd want a wedding photographer to be and more - unassuming, almost hidden, yet always capturing the right shots. Her professionalism and sweet personality made her both a delight to work with and have around the day of the wedding! We love our photos and have Danielle to thank for so successfully capturing the most important day of our lives. She went above and beyond to meet our every wedding photo wish. Being able to have a CD and a website with all photos on it, in addition to our very own album with each print were great perks of our package. We are so pleased with the results and very thankful we chose Gerritsen photography for our special day. Thanks, Danielle!" -Mallory Moyer and William Egert
"We absolutely loved working with Danielle. She has photographed every wedding we've been to in the past year...I don't think we can go to weddings without her anymore! She captured every shot we wanted, but was very unobtrusive throughout the event. Our families and wedding party felt very comfortable with her, and the photos turned out great. It's obvious that Danielle enjoys photographing weddings, and it make the experience a lot of fun." -Dawn and Matt Stever
"Danielle was such a wonderful photographer we would recommend her to anyone. She made the day of the wedding and the planning prior such a great experience. Not only is she very professional but also so pleasant to work with. The pictures to us were such an important part of the day and they are absolutely beautiful they are everything we hoped for and more. She is also so well organized and experienced that we didn’t even have to stress whether or not we remembered all the pictures we wanted taken. We hope that she realizes how great it was to have her be such an important part of our day. We can’t thank you enough Danielle you are truly an amazing person and photographer. If anyone out there is looking to have Danielle as there photographer not only for there wedding but any event, don’t even second guess it you will be overly satisfied. Thank you again Danielle." -Kelley and Rick Neville
"The photos from our wedding were gorgeous. Danielle took multiple shots of the same poses which ensured at least one photo where everyone was satisfied with how they looked. She not only provided us with great posed photographs, but she somehow managed to capture candids of people laughing, dancing, and having fun. These photographs have allowed us to relive our wedding day and we could not be happier with the end result." -Kimberly and Jon Bowman
"Everyone in the wedding commented on what a great job you did and how much they enjoyed working with you. The pictures turned out amazing, I couldn't even believe how many there were! We have great shots of every important moment, and it was also nice to see parts of the day that were missed in all the excitement. The pictures were one of the most important elements of the wedding for me because at the end of the day that's all you are really left with-I'm so glad that we have such amazing pictures to remember our day with. You were so much fun to work with too, I think your calm personality was a lot of the reason the day went so smoothly. We just had an amazing day and I'm so glad you were a part of it." -Jennifer Austin
"I was really pleased with your services and would recommend you to other brides. I was impressed with the quality and clarity of all the pictures and reprints. I especially loved the black and whites. You and your assistant were helpful and unobtrusive at the event. You were really pleasant to us and our families, and that means a lot on your day. I met some other photographers and they seemed so gruff and business-like and didn't genuinely seem happy for you and to work your event.....Planning a wedding is stressful with so many decisions, and your friendly, calm, professional manner goes a long way." -Carol Corbin
"We could not have asked for a better photographer than Danielle for our wedding day. She has an incredible talent for snapping phenomenal photos and is a true professional. She captured every moment and didn't miss a thing-and amazingly did it all without us even noticing that she was there. We give her our highest recommendation. Thank you Danielle!" - Clare and Charlie Ulrich
"Danielle was great. She was extremely professional. She made sure to take all the pictures we requested as well as capture some very special moments. The photo albums she provided were fantastic. We plan to tell all of our friends to give her a call." -Cara and Eric Nichols
"There are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding, but for my husband and I the photographer was such an important piece because we knew the photos would be there to preserve the memories of our special day. Danielle really seemed to understand this. She not only took the photos we wanted of family and friends, but she also caught those moments we missed in the excitement. Danielle was very professional, yet so friendly that even the most camera shy people were comfortable. The quality of her photos is excellent, and we were able to choose the finish, as well as black and white and/or color prints. I especially loved that she let us keep all of the photos which she had organized in an album, plus the negatives for future use if ever needed. Danielle was a great asset to our wedding day in many ways. We have since hired her for other photo needs and have had the same attention, thoroughness and care." -Mellora Paucke
"Danielle did a great job! Having high-quality prints was important to me, so the fact that Danielle uses both conventional film in addition to digital was a real plus. All of her photos were available in color and black and white, and she includes prints of every photo, negatives and cd's. This is also a plus, since not all photographers are willing to give up their negatives! She took tons of great pictures, so we have plenty to choose from when we make our final album. Danielle is so easy to work with, and is very professional and organized." -Dana and Joe Podwol
"Our experience with Danielle was wonderful from start to finish. She made us all feel so relaxed and was particularly patient with our two young daughters. She was able to capture the best of all of us, and I have the pictures to prove it. There were so many spectacular shots, I found it hard to choose just a few to put up on our wall! She is a gem!" -Angela Ciamarra
"I felt incredible comfortable with you (as if I'd know you for years!). I loved the black and white photography, especially the candid shots. You blended in with the day...I never felt like you were in my face saying "SMILE, SMILE, SMILE!". I loved that you were with me taking shots while I got ready. I loved that I had soooo many photos to choose from!" -Kristin Foo
"Gerritsen Photography is truly the find of a lifetime. Danielle, the owner of the studio, has taken photos of our family since our granddaughters were born, and we have been thrilled with the results. Friends from across the country have complimented us on Danielle's ability to capture natural poses while working with small children. Our granddaughters love her, and she is wonderful with them. She also did our family Christmas card which turned out to be our family's favorite portrait." -JoAnn Mancini
"As far as my pictures go, they were wonderful. I appreciated your patience with my sometimes out of hand relatives...You were able to get some great shots and we didn't ever feel like you were in the way or posing us every second. I've been to some weddings where the photographer was the center of attention, and this was not the case with you. You had a quiet way of getting around the wedding and had an awesome sense of humor, and an ability to work with everyone that we really appreciate, which is why we highly recommended you....We'll definetly contact you for any future photography needs!" -Chrissy and Doug Boles
"Thanks Danielle!!! We just got back from our honeymoon! We really enjoyed you taking pictures for us and the pictures on the pictage site are amazing!!! I can't wait to see the rest! Thanks again you captured amazing pictures of our day!!!" -Amy Bowman
