For my couples <3

life is brighter when you're together

Whether you're newly engaged, been married for 10 years or just realized you have ZERO pictures together that aren't selfies, I am here to create art out of your love for each other. I want to know what brings you two joy and infuse that into a photograph that you can look back on 10, 20, 50 years from now.

My job?

Coaxing out your genuine smiles & capturing the way you look at each other in a beautiful way.

What sets Gabriella apart?

experience-first approach

A photographer not prioritizing photos? To that, I challenge you with this: won't the best photos happen if you are able to be fully present & emotion filled? (Yes!)

1. calm & Encouraging

I've been told by everyone I photograph that I have a calming presence. This is part of my experience-first philosophy! I promise to be positive in every situation.

2. timeless before trendy

Hot take 👀 Even if you request "trendy" photos with motion blur or direct flash, I will always make sure you ALSO have timeless, well lit portraits in your gallery.

But don't just take it from me ...

"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!"

"I cannot recommend Gabriella Marie Photography enough! After getting quotes from nearly every Philadelphia photographer on Instagram, Gabriella's gallery stood out the most, and I'm so glad we chose her for our engagement shoot at Longwood Gardens.

From the very beginning, Gabriella was incredibly professional and thorough. We had multiple phone calls leading up to the proposal to plan every detail and ensure everything went smoothly. She even helped us come up with a backup plan for rain, which we had to use on the day of the shoot. Despite the weather, Gabriella made sure everything was perfect and captured absolutely breathtaking photos.

I often feel awkward in pictures, but Gabriella worked her magic and made us look amazing. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your special moments perfect, look no further. Hire Gabriella for any of your photography needs—you won't be disappointed!"

"Gabby was such a joy to work with! She encouraged my fiancé and I to feel completely comfortable and natural in all of our photos. Her professionalism was top tier while still allowing for tons of fun and a laid back feel. She was able to blend in with the crowd in order for the proposal to remain a surprise and captured a special moment so beautifully! Her turnaround on previews and final edits is quick and efficient. We received our sneak peak photos a couple of days after our engagement (which are breathtaking) and we can’t wait to see the finished product in a couple of weeks!!"
