My mission as a wedding photographer in Philadelphia is to help happy couples celebrate life's biggest joys with high quality photos and a dang good time. I believe the experience is just as important as the photos and that you deserve beautiful, lasting memories.

Hey!! I'm Gabriella.

Tips for Your Engagement Session

Get ready for a wild time and some serious PDA, y’all 😉 Engagement sessions are SO much fun (I literally wrote an entire blog post about why I love them so much — you can check that out here!), but there are a few things to keep in mind before arriving at your session.

  • Choose a location that has meaning to y’all!! If you love the outdoors — find a dope state/national park and make it a half-day hiking trip (I’m always down for that!). If y’all are Philly ppl born & raised — the Art Museum has a few iconic spots PLUS a stunning view of the skyline. If you just moved in together — what’s stopping you from doing an in-home session?!

  • Props are fun. Wear that hat that’s been collecting dust in your closet. Bring a blanket to sit on/cuddle with. Heck, we could even use your car as a prop!!

  • Don’t match; coordinate!! I don’t necessarily recommend both of y’all wearing red plaid flannels for your fall session … BUT if one wears a red flannel and the other wears neutrals with red accents, then that is a LOOK!!

  • Ladies, clean up your nails. It may seem obvious, but I know for a fact that I *never* think about my nails. Painted or not, make sure they are well-kept before the session so we can show off that shiny ring of yours!! 😉

Pump yourself up before your engagement session. Being engaged is such a special season of life — you better enjoy the heck out of it and have the time of your life!!

“Hiring Gabriella as our photographer was the single best decision we made on wedding day. Because we had an intimate elopement at town hall, it was important to us to capture the small details and intimate moments in a way that we could look back on our day and feel like we are reliving it. Well, Gabriella’s work does just that. She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our gallery. She gave updates and clear expectations along the way so that we were never left wondering what next steps were, and was timely with getting sneak peaks and the full gallery back to us. We are an introverted couple who is not used to being in front of the camera, and Gabriella was super patient and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Her communication style is to be seriously commended. She also went above and beyond to scope out of the venue and found the perfect spot for us to do our private vows in. We don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. If you are considering working with Gabriella for your special day, do it!!

We LOVED working with Gabriella for our Wedding photography! From our first video call, she made us feel totally at ease about the whole process, and it was clear she had a ton of experience. We do not consider ourselves very photogenic, but Gabriella got AMAZING pictures from our Wedding and an Engagement shoot. She’s fun, friendly, professional, and everything you need in a Wedding photographer (or for any other event). Cannot recommend her highly enough!

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and we could not have asked for anyone better to capture our proposal! I had intentions of interviewing multiple photographers, but after seeing her work and talking to her over the phone, I immediately booked with her. Her passion for photography is so evident. She goes above and beyond to make your shoot about YOU. She does a great job of taking control and guiding you with poses that you will love, and her candid shots are unbelievable. She had a smile on her face the entire time and we felt like a close friend was there doing this for us. Would recommend her 100 times out of 100!

Gabriella was absolutely amazing. She made the photography session so easy and effortless. Her personality is so warm and inviting, she made us feel so so comfortable during these pictures. Gabriella went above and beyond for us and I’m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!”
