i believe the best photos are made when you don't even care that the camera is there.
I photograph couples who value genuine emotion ... couples who want guidance & direction during portraits, but who also want their gallery filled with candid moments, happy tears and stolen glances from across the room.
effortlessly authentic wedding photos
I photograph weddings & couples with an experience-first approach in order to get you
Not only is Gabriella an extremely professional and talented photographer, she is first and foremost an incredibly kind and awesome human being. She made us feel both calm and excited throughout the process and it felt like talking to a friend when planning with her. After the wedding, we had several comments from both our parents and bridal party about how wonderful the photos were and how kind and great Gabriella was on the day of. Direct quote from a bridesmaid: "These photos are gorgeous and she was also SO NICE- you found a gem!"

Working with Gabriella looks like this ...
- OLIVIA & ALEX MCCULLOUGH
Gabriella photographed our wedding and engagement session and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her to capture our special moments! From our first conversation she made us feel comfortable and at ease as we embarked on wedding planning. We were looking for someone who would make us feel comfortable in front of the camera all day and who would elevate our pictures from stiff posed wedding photos. All I had to do was show her some inspiration photos and she took it from there! She absolutely exceeded our expectations and I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her joyful yet calming presence. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be hiring her for all my special moments to come!
"I COULDN'T IMAGINE OUR WEDDING DAY WITHOUT HER"
- Kristen & Austin Melnick
My (now) husband initially hired Gabi on his own to photograph my surprise engagement. She captured the moment so perfectly & beautifully & we immediately knew she had to be our photographer for our wedding day as well. Throughout the planning process, Gabi was extremely communicative and thorough with her timelines, little details, and schedule for the day of. The photographer really does “run the show” the day of the wedding and Gabi is the best person to do that. Not only is she an amazingly talented photographer, but she is punctual, kind, hardworking (we got back sneak peeks SO quick), and has an infectiously positive personality that makes it easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. She also went above and beyond her photographer duties day-of wedding by helping me throughout the night every time my bustle malfunctioned. Overall, Gabi exceeded our expectations and I will be using her again to document all future life events. She was such a joy to work with in all aspects! This is who you want for your big day!
"SHE WAS SUCH A JOY TO WORK WITH IN ALL ASPECTS"
- RACHEL & NICK LOUIS
Gabriella (and her team) is AMAZING and truly made all of our photo dreams come true! After our first call with Gabriella, we knew almost instantly that we wanted her to capture our day. She brings a lighthearted and warm energy to every space she’s in and is extremely professional and responsive throughout the wedding planning process. From video calls, to coffee planning sessions, to engagement photos, to our big day, she made us feel comfortable and excited. Every photo we received from Gabriella was perfect, from detail shots to photos of us with our large family and little nieces and nephews. We are SO happy to have chosen Gabriella and will forever recommend her to everyone!
