“We hired Maike from Gruber to photograph our daughter's bat mitzvah, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. From start to finish, Maike was thorough and efficient — she came fully prepared, kept everything moving seamlessly, and never missed a moment. What really set her apart was how naturally she connected with our guests. She has a wonderful warmth about her that put everyone at ease, and her clear, friendly direction made the group shots and portraits stress-free and even fun. You could tell she genuinely cared about the people in front of her lens, not just the photos. And the photos themselves? Absolutely beautiful. Maike has a thoughtful eye — she captured the emotion, the joy, and the little details that made the day so special. Looking through the images, we're transported right back to one of the most meaningful days of our family's life. We wholeheartedly recommend Maike and Gruber Photographers to any family looking for a photographer who brings talent, professionalism, and real heart to the job.”

“We booked reportage-style coverage for our corporate trip to New York and had a great experience. The photos are excellent, we loved the quality, the fast delivery, and the photographer’s work on site. Highly recommend!”

“This was a new type of business for Terry Gruber. He did an excellent job. In fact he exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend him to anyone else. Jeannette and Tripp Miller”

“There was one assignment for my 50th birthday: capture the joy. Maike from Gruber Photographers did that and more. From understanding the vision, playing with the theme, and interacting with guests in order to seize the best moments, Maike made sure the images captured ensure my guests and I can relive the magic of a totally radical 80’s themed birthday. Thank you to Maike and the entire Gruber team for memorializing an amazing event.”

“We hired Terry for our corporate headshots and couldn't be happier with the experience. From the first inquiry, he was incredibly responsive and made scheduling seamless for our whole team. On shoot day, he was professional, efficient, and great at putting people at ease in front of the camera. The results were polished and exactly what we needed. Highly recommend to any company looking for a reliable, talented headshot photographer!”

“I have spent over forty years in the film business, selecting the right photographer for the right film campaign by relying on gut intuition and a strong sense of design. But when it came to the occasion of my own wedding, I leaned on the recommendation of a friend who gratefully introduced me to Terry Gruber. More than thirty years later, Terry Gruber remains a quintessential reportage photographer, the invisible eye that floats about an occasion seamlessly scanning all its moments, capturing not just the big obvious ones but more so, the intimate, almost unseen ones. These are the moments you are unaware are happening around you, the unexpected interactions that will one day tell the whole story. If that occasion is your wedding it will be a story you will relive and cherish for the rest of your loving lives. More simply put, Terry Gruber excels at reportage: the artful photography of candid, unposed, honest images of life as it unfolds -- in wide shots and close ups -- that take an event and turn it into a singular, woven narrative. A wedding is more than a day, it is a vow that upholds a marriage over time. And a wedding photo is a memory that carries a couple back to how deeply in love they were, how deeply in love they can always be. While greeting guests on our wedding reception line, one whispered the words to us, "husband and wife". That is when it hit us; we had actually married. Together we locked into a giddy gaze, a spontaneous private moment, a deep beat when only our eyes conversed, "we are 'one and onlys'". Invisible to us, Terry's shutter clicked and caught this silent instant when our commitment crystalized, giving us the gift of a forever image that calls us forward as a couple every married day. All these years later, looking back at Terry's wedding album for us, our story is all there. He tells it scene by scene, image by image, perfectly archived from the blueberry flower on my groom's lapel to the flow of satin sheen on my gown, to the lace on the tables, the roses on the cake, the candles melting into the night, the giggling mischief in a young bridesmaid's smile while sneaking champagne. But mostly, oh-thank-you-Terry for recording all our relatives and friends, some still with us but many now gone, who we see at their happy best, reveling through space and time on our summer solstice wedding night, wishing us every blessing.”

“Working with Terry was amazing, you can tell he really loves his line of work and puts EVERYTHING into his business. Just show me another business owner who will meet on a Sunday! If you have the chance to work with him I highly highly recommend it. Cheers!”

“Amazing service, very reliable and smooth from planning to executing photos and receiving photos.”

“I’ve been working with Gruber for several years as one of our go-to photography vendors at my workplace. Terry is consistently responsive, easy to work with, and offers very reasonable pricing. We’ve worked with multiple photographers through Gruber, and each experience has been professional, flexible, and seamless. They always capture fantastic shots of our students and go above and beyond to deliver photos within just a few days. Excellent service—I highly recommend them!”

“Quite simply, there's no one who comes close to Terry's sensibility and eye for beauty. His wedding photographs do far more than capture the intimacy and special wonder of the moment -- they are works of art that become legacy.”
