Timeless December Wedding at La Massaria at Bella Vista

Make way for THE CRAIGS ✨

My oh my, what an epic way to end my 2024 wedding season!!! Jacky & Austin planned a stunning, timeless December wedding with modern, classy vibes for a cold yet sunny winter Saturday. It was filled with both excitement and calmness, happy tears and smiles!!!

First Look and Private Vows

Jacky & Austin did a first look before their Catholic ceremony. They shared private vows before meeting each other at the altar. Austin confessed that even though tears didn’t escape his eyes, they were most definitely there. 🥹 They both smiled so big through the vows and were absolute troopers braving the cold weather for portraits after! We got through wedding party photos as quickly as possible but still had so much fun and left plenty of time to get to the church nice & early!

Jacky had both her parents walk her down the aisle – they were both holding back happy tears as Jacky had a beaming smile, eyes locked on her groom. The wedding party cheered as Austin & Jacky sealed the deal with a Prince-Charming-style dip kiss – they are finally MARRIED!!!

Golden Hour Bride & Groom Portraits

After some family photos, I took the newlyweds outside for some golden hour portraits and boy, did the sun come out to PLAY!!! I am honestly SO hype about these photos – Jacky & Austin crushed them (and, dare I say, might have some of the best ~smolder~ faces I’ve ever seen?? 👀)!! We got even more fun portraits inside at the bar before cocktail hour began. But even with all those photos, there was still plenty of time to chill & breathe!

Timeless December Wedding Reception

The reception was 3 things: gorgeous, sweet and FUN!!! The room was beautifully decorated & aligned with Jacky’s timeless vision. The formalities were filled with sweet dances and happy-tear-filled toasts. And as soon as the music dropped, the dance floor was PACKED (shoutout Johnny A)!!! Major congrats to the newlyweds – thanks for ending my season with a bang 🫶🏼

“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 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!”
