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.

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 🫶🏼

“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!”
