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.

FOUR reasons why engagement sessions are important!

I LOVE ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS. No, seriously. I love them. I think they’re SO much fun. You’re super duper in love, all caught up in the fresh promise of “forever”. There’s so much more flexibility — no wedding day timelines to stick to — and we can make the session whatever you want it to be!!

Besides being awesome, engagement sessions serve some important needs to engaged couples. There are so many things I could list here, but to keep things concise, here are FOUR reasons why engagement sessions are actually really important!!

  1. It gives you & your fiancé the opportunity to get used to the sound of my camera and doing a little PDA in front of the lens 😉 If you already feel comfortable being yourselves around me & my camera, that opens the door for some really intimate candids and portraits on your wedding day! It’s not every day that you’re asked to repeatedly kiss the cheek of your significant other while a camera fires off pictures three feet away. But I PROMISE your images will be worth the time spent getting used to being photographed.
  2. It gives you a massive array of photos to use for your save-the-dates & wedding invitations!! Pictures bring the mundane to life. To be honest, I’m much more likely to hang a save-the-date on my refrigerator if a gorgeous photo of my friend and her fiancé are presented beautifully on the front!
  3. It provides instant personalization for your wedding website and/or FaceBook page – just add these photos and BAM, you have a gorgeous website AND a beautiful guest experience before the wedding even starts! More likely than not, there will be people you invite to your wedding that know you personally, but they might not be as familiar with the you + him/her package. Show them some photos of you two frolicking around, hand-in-hand and hopelessly in love!!
  4. Honestly, can you ever have enough photos of you & your favorite person?? (I think not!) Honor this once-in-a-lifetime season with forever pictures!

I’m obviously a little biased, but I think engagement session are SO beneficial to your overall wedding experience. Plus, they’re so much fun for me to photograph 🙂

“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!”

“Gabriella 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!”

“Gabriella is the BEST photographer and needless to say she went above and beyond our expectations! She was hired by my fiancé 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 best❤️ Thank you Gabriella for capturing the most beautiful and intimate moments of ours and We can’t wait to work with you again!”

“Gabriella 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.”

“Gabriella was absolutely amazing!!! Words cannot even describe how perfect she was, but I’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 she’s with you. I can’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 can’t thank her enough!”
