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.

Hey!! I'm Gabriella.

3 Ways to use Blankets at your Engagement Session

Hello hello, I am a BIG fan of using props for your session!! Specifically: blankets. And depending on the time of year, we can use these blankets for so many different types of photos! Here are 3 ways we can use a blanket to add to your engagement session

ROMANTIC PICNIC IN THE PARK

Okay y’all … how freaking ADORABLE are these two?! Julia & Amaury decided to include a picnic in their engagement session and let me tell you, it was AWESOME. These photos are but a glimpse into the magic we were able to create together!! Along with their picnic blanket, Julia & Amaury brought a super cute picnic basket, some fancy cheese, a French bread roll and some colorful macarons!!! So not only did they get these awesome pictures, but they also got to enjoy some tasty food and they eased their way into the session by focusing on the picnic and not my camera 🙂

SNUGGLE UP!!

Now this pose is obviously the most fun when it’s chilly outside!!! Grab that blanket and snuggle in close with your hunny!! I also love getting tight shots of you two being super close together to add a little extra romance into the pictures.

CHAMPAGNE & ROLL AROUND

Okay so this is kinda similar to the picnic example, but not having food on your blanket gives you the opportunity to have some fun and roll around!! Step 1: Get some establishing shots on the blanket. Step 2: Drink some champagne and lose a little inhibition. Step 3: Forget the camera and roll around with your hunny!!!

“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!”
