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.

5 Questions to Ask Your Photographer (Before Booking!!)

Chances are, this is your first time booking a photographer. And I’m gonna take a WILD guess and say this is your first time booking a professional photographer … EVER. So you’re feeling just a biiiit stressed about making such a big decision. Kinda like everything else in wedding planning I digress. Back on track — NO FEAR, your friendly neighborhood wedding photographer is here!!!

Here are 5 questions you must ask your wedding photographer before making the decision to book!!

ASK TO SEE A FULL GALLERY

It’s really important to see pictures from different lighting situations throughout the day (specifically low light situations).

ASK ABOUT SECOND PHOTOGRAPHERS

If you’re planning on having 100 guests or more at your wedding, a second photographer is definitely worth considering. Sometimes they’re included in your package, sometimes they’re a la carte. Ask your photographer what they recommend for your wedding!

Check out this blog post for more info about second photographers!

ASK WHAT THEIR BACKUP PLAN IS

This one stinks, but it’s important to know what their backup plan is if they can’t photograph your wedding last minute (this is also where a second photographer comes in handy!!).

ASK ABOUT ALBUMS

Are they included in your package? Is there a discount in your package? Does your photographer create custom albums? Do you have the option to create your own album? All very important questions, my friend!!

ASK FOR VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS

Wedding photographers work with a ton of different vendors and can recommend vendors they’ve worked with before that would be great for your specific wedding!!

I hope this helped!! Wedding planning can be a doozy but just take everything one at a time and put in your due diligence and it will all be okay 🙂 For more information, check out my blog posts about 4 MORE questions to ask your wedding photographer and why you should book your dream photographer.

“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!”
