Your experience in front of the camera matters just as much as the photos you receive! 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 cultivating lasting memories.

Longwood Gardens Engagement Session | Erica and Jake

Some Backstory

Erica and Jake have some interesting luck when it comes to rain. We first met for their Longwood Gardens engagement session on the evening of a beautiful summer day. But just as we were about to get out of our cars, the heavens opened and rain came POURING down. Like, the kind of pouring that ain’t gonna stop anytime soon. 🤣 So we rescheduled their session for a sunnier evening later on that month!!

(For those interested, I photographed Erica & Jake two more times: their wedding day and Erica’s 30th birthday. Yes … it rained both times. How about that?!)

The Session

Anywho, Erica & Jake’s Longwood Gardens engagement session: take two finally rolled around and they showed up wearing the exact same outfits as before, ready go to!! We meandered throughout the park, stopping for photos at cool spots along the way. Some of the regulars on my list are the gazebo in the woods, the fountain garden, the meadow and the conservatory. It was with Erica & Jake that I first discovered the meadow and shoot dang I am so glad we did!!! On our way out of the meadow we stumbled upon this beautiful ray of light in the woods. I immediately stopped them so we could make some super cool light-focused portraits – check ’em out below!!

We were also able to spend a good amount of time exploring the conservatory. This is my favorite part of Longwood Gardens – a common favorite for a reason! There are so many different rooms within the conservatory and each room has a unique look filled floor to ceiling (literally) with colorful flowers and cool plants. One of my favorite shots from their session included a cactus (say whaaaat?)!! They are constantly changing the rooms in the conservatory just like the landscaping in the rest of the park, so it’s fun to come back for engagement sessions and see the changes.

Longwood Gardens is definitely one of my favorite places to shoot engagement sessions. Check out the highlights from Erica & Jake’s gallery below to see why!! (And click HERE for some of my other top garden-style engagement session locations!)

“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!”
