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.

Authentic Engagement Session Ideas

Struggling to figure out what the heck to do for your engagement session? I gotchu! You can literally do anything you want for your engagement session, wherever you want. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing šŸ˜‰

Engagement Session Ideas

>>> Are yā€™all an outdoorsy couple? Go on a hike. I promise you wonā€™t be able to see sweat in your pictures (as long as you donā€™t wear a gray t-shirt in July lol). Youā€™ll have a fantastic day and a memory to cherish (almost) as much as the photos!! Plus, you can get some EPIC shots if you hike a summit of any sort šŸ˜‰

>>> Are yā€™all homebodies? Do an in-home session! Cuddle up on the couch, chat over some coffee at the table and do a little PDA in the kitchen. This is YOUR session to capture what Yā€™ALLā€™S relationship looks like.

>>> Are yā€™all old souls? Dress up super fancy and go out on the TOWN! Play some Frank Sinatra as you stroll through the park hand-in-hand, share ice cream floats and sit on the hood of your car.

>>> Are yā€™all hopelessly romantic? Pack up a picnic to share at sunset ā€” and write each other love letters. Go pick some wildflowers to place around your blanket and share a dance to your favorite song as the sun goes down. (Have I dreamed of going on a date like this with my future guy one day? Absolutely, positively and without question. Yes.)

Tip: Think of your engagement session as a super fun date that just happens to include a photographer tagging along. Whatā€™s your idea of the perfect date? Make that a reality and let me come along to document it!! šŸ˜‰

ā€œGabriella 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 Iā€™m so grateful my significant other found her as a photographer. I would highly recommend!ā€

ā€œGabriella is not only an amazing photographer, but she is an amazing person! She was incredible to work with and made everything from our engagement photos to our wedding day extremely easy. She really understands your vibe and does everything she can to help make that come true! My husband is extremely camera shy, but he was so comfortable with her and the photos were amazing!ā€

ā€œGabriella is the BEST photographer and needless to say she went above and beyond our expectations! She was hired by my fiancĆ© for our surprise proposal and she did a phenomenal job at capturing every single detail of it. She made our lives easy by understanding us, our personality, the way we wanted to be captured and she did just that! From showing us every beautiful inch of Longwood gardens to telling us about different poses to capturing the beauty and essence of nature! She made my dream come true with these beautiful pictures. We spent 2 hrs with her and there was sign of rush of ending the session and it was more like whatever we felt in the moment which is what I truly enjoyed. She sent us our sneak peak pictures the day off just several hours later and needless to say not only did our jaws dropped but every single person who viewed those pics while asking who the photographer was! We proudly share her information with every member of our family and friends because she truly deserves the bestā¤ļø Thank you Gabriella for capturing the most beautiful and intimate moments of ours and We canā€™t wait to work with you again!ā€

ā€œGabriella captured our special moments perfectly! She photographed our proposal, Holud night before the wedding, and wedding day. She was very easy to work with and always communicative and responsive. She was able to handle a 300 person wedding with ease and always got the shot. I've only seen the sneak peek from our wedding weekend but I am already in love with the pictures. She truly captured the joy and happiness of the weekend through her photos, which I will treasure forever. She is also just a genuinely kind person, which makes working with her even better :) Highly recommend.ā€

ā€œGabriella was absolutely amazing!!! Words cannot even describe how perfect she was, but Iā€™ll try my best. Right from the beginning, I knew she was the one. She was so caring, calming, organized, and just a genuinely happy person. She made me feel even more excited for my wedding. She was so helpful throughout the entire process right down to the big day. AND THE PICTURES - OH MY GOD. They are absolutely breathtaking and she definitely tells the story of your day in the most perfect way. She captures every precious moment while having a smile on her face the whole time sheā€™s with you. I canā€™t say enough amazing things about her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to have the BEST photographer for any occasion. We had such an amazing experience with Gabriella and we canā€™t thank her enough!ā€
