My absolute favorite part about wedding photography is watching two people be completely themselves around each other. (Second favorite is meeting the coolest couples ever!!) After photographing weddings for 6 years, I can confidently say your wedding day experience is sacred in the best way - and your wedding photos carry that experience (not just posed portraits) for generations to come.
welcome to the anti-stiff photo club ;)
This is where I gain a deeper understanding of your values so I can tailor the photos specifically to YOU & your values.
I create a custom wedding day timeline so your day prioritizes your values & experience while feeling efficient and smooth.
You get sneak peek photos 3 days after your wedding, and the full gallery a month later! Reliving your day while it's still fresh in your memory <3

Get ready for a good one. I came to know Gabriella through some trusted mutual friends outside of the wedding industry and knew her for several years before my husband and I even got engaged -- and I knew when we did, she would be our woman. Having been a bridesmaid in other weddings, I knew first hand how a photographer can make or break your day and knew Gabriella would be firmly on the 'make' side. She is diligent, kind, and oh so much FUN. I don't want to give away all her tricks but she will make you feel so special from start to finish. She goes above and beyond to accommodate special situations in families (the good, the bad, and the ugly), not to mention all the impromptu things that come up within the wedding process and on wedding days. One thing I can't recommend enough is her podcast, The Busy Bride. Her intel as someone inside the wedding industry is invaluable and we found quite a few vendors and ideas by taking her insight into consideration. She is now engaged herself and doing a series on her wedding process which I am jealous I didn't get to listen to before our wedding but can't wait to enjoy her journey from the listener end moving forward. What we wanted from a photographer was simply someone who would capture what was genuinely rising to the surface on our day, and Gabriella did just that. My husband was likely the more nervous of the two of us to be emotional in front of others and when the day came, it was not an issue at all. I think this is partially testament to how much he trusted Gabriella. All her photos are easy breezy beautiful once they arrive in your inbox (always on time) and you will never get tired of looking at them and feeling just how you felt when they were taken. ALSO! She doesn't advertise this much but your girl does boudoir shoots! Also an amazing experience and a great wedding gift for your honey ;) Amazing experience there, too. LOVED Gabriella and hope to use her again for future milestones :')

Gabriella is AMAZING! We are so happy we chose her to be our wedding photographer. We wanted a photographer that made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, captured all the best shots, and would be a fun addition to our day. Gabriella checked all those boxes and so much more! She is an absolute ray of sunshine and AMAZING with a camera. Gabriella made the process easy and seamless from start to finish. She had quick communication and made us feel so special and loved on our wedding day. She is so friendly, bubbly, and easy to work with and other people noticed it too! Our family and friends had so many nice things to say about her and we couldn't agree more. Gabriella seriously made this day so amazing and we are so happy with all of the photos she took for us. We will have these memories forever and we have her to thank for that! Our jaws were on the floor looking at our photos - they are ALL incredible. We would recommend Gabriella to anyone we know who needs an amazing photographer and we hope to be able to work with her again in the future!

I am so glad that my husband and I chose Gabriella to take our wedding photos! She is the most detail-oriented, responsive, and kindest photographer I’ve ever worked with! We had Gabriella take photos of our puppy a few years ago and knew after that session that we would definitely request her take our wedding photos! Not only that, we had Gabriella do an engagement shoot for us and the photos were my absolute favorite of my husband and I (before we got married of course!) I’ve never been very confident in front of the camera, but Gabriella is the hype girl you need to make being in front of the camera so much fun! I love how happy I look in all of my photos and I didn’t once think about how I looked while the photos were being taken. Gabriella works her magic to make sure she’s getting the perfect shot every time! She’s amazing at helping with poses (something my husband and I definitely needed help with!) and the shots that she helped get us positioned in were my favorite shots! She has an eye for creating the perfect picture every time! Gabriella absolutely exceeded my expectations on how quickly she sent out sneak peek photos. Within just a few days of the wedding, I received a bunch of ceremony, portrait, and reception photos from Gabriella! Her turnaround time to send out a full gallery is very reasonable. I can’t recommend Gabriella enough! She is so talented and passionate about her job and makes the most memorable days of your life that much better!

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! Getting married is a big deal. 🤩 You deserve to have the wedding of your dreams. You deserve to look back on your wedding day with joy. You deserve wedding photos that bring back the same emotions that filled your heart the moment you said "I do".
If you're looking for a photographer to show up day-of, snap some stiff, posed photos and leave without saying goodbye ... then we are not a good fit for each other. 🫣
BUT if you are someone who cannot WAIT to marry their best friend ... if want to be laughing and dancing through the majority of your day ... if you know for SURE there will be plenty of happy tears to go around ... and you want your photographer to feel less like a stranger and more like a friend ...
then we're a match made in heaven!!!! Fill out the contact form to set up a no-commitment discovery call and let's get this party startedddd :)
