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.

Rainy Engagement Photos in Old City Philly and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge

Gina & Matt are runners in Philadelphia, so it’s only fitting that their love story began on race day at the Benjamin Franklin Bridge!! These two make each other so happy and are so kind to each other and they’re just overall amazing humans to spend your time with 🫶🏼

Engagement Photos in Old City

We did a very ~Philly~ engagement session, since they both live here and love the city!! Old City was the first stop (bc duh) – we hit up Merchants Exchange, Second National Bank and 18th Century Garden. Gina wore a super cute blue floral dress and Matt wore a blue button down to match!! Very fancy first outfit for a very fancy setting!!

Incorporating the Benjamin Franklin Bridge

Gina & Matt changed into a more casual outfit for the second half of the session, with Gina rocking cute grey Blundtstones (the most goated shoe of all time)!! We somehow snuck in Elfreth’s Alley, Race Street Pier AND the Benjamin Franklin Bridge before nightfall which I think might be a record lol!! Definitely helps that all three of us are runners and logging miles around the city is the norm 🤣

I’m so glad we were able to incorporate the bridge into their engagement photos since it’s the spot where they met. And it’s an iconic part of the city they live in as well!!

Working With the Rain, Not Against It

We had been monitoring the weather all week and all day leading up to the session, and it had been all over the place lol. First sunny with very little chance of rain, then what seemed like positive storms all day … then when it was time to start the session, all we got was the tiniest on/off drizzle before clearing up to be a rain-free rest of the evening!!! 🙌🏼 (Major shoutout to Gina’s hairspray for doing the Lord’s work and keeping her curls looking amazing throughout the rain & humidity!)

But seriously, the ease with which these two smile and laugh when they are around each other is so sweet to witness. I simply cannot WAIT for them to get married in the spring!!! Fingers crossed for sunny weather, but I know these two will radiate sunshine and joy no matter what 🌞

“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!”
