Does this sound ideal to you?
It's 5 p.m. on your wedding day. You just got married. You're hugging your college roommate, getting pulled into a cousins group photo, you haven't even seen the cocktail hour food and suddenly it's time for the first dance.
You haven't had a moment to breathe since saying "I do", but you still feel guilty for not saying hi to your parents' best friends.
Why squeeze your wedding into one day instead of three?
I'm guessing not. But there Is a solution:
Time with your spouse, time with your close loved ones, time with people you love but rarely get to see ... all of that quality time is important, but it's nearly impossible to do it all in just 12 hours. The solution? A wedding weekend instead of a wedding day.
I believe your wedding experience matters most ... and that stunning photos will naturally follow.
Use the day before your wedding to protect time with either 1) your guests, by hosting a welcome party after rehearsal dinner, or 2) your spouse and VIPs, by breaking your wedding into two days - ceremony and reception.

I can't recommend Gabriella enough!! She is hands down the kindest, most talented photographer out there!! I saw Gabriella's work through Instagram and was immediately drawn to her work. She was lovely to work with from the very first consult/intro call, and that remained true through our first time meeting in person for our engagement session and of course, the wedding day (& rehearsal dinner!). She always made us feel at ease, natural and comfortable and understood the vibe & vision that we were going for. She was such a good hype queen throughout the whole process - and did a great job of capturing a combination of posed and candid photos. I was BLOWN away by the photos that we received back and am forever grateful to her so beautifully capturing so many special moments and of course, our wedding day! You won't regret hiring her for your wedding needs!

We are beyond grateful that we chose Gabriella to capture our wedding day! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable, listened to what was most important to us, and went above and beyond to make sure every special moment was documented. On the wedding day, Gabriella was organized, calm, and such a positive presence—helping everything run smoothly while still keeping it fun. Our families and bridal party loved working with her. The photos are absolutely stunning—beautiful, natural, and truly tell the story of our day. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will cherish these memories forever. If you are looking for someone talented, kind, and professional, look no further than Gabriella.
"OUR FAMILIES AND BRIDAL PARTY LOVED WORKING WITH HER"
- JACKY & AUSTIN CRAIG
“Gabriella was one of the absolute best choices we made for our wedding, hands down. She was the second decision we made after selecting our venue and date. We met with several photographers, and what won us over with Gabriella was not only her gorgeous work and skillset, but also her organization and her ability to be a ray of sunshine with a calm presence. I knew I needed someone who was super positive but not overwhelming on my wedding day, and it was a perfect fit. We did our engagement shoot with Gabriella as well, and both then and the wedding day she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband absolutely hates getting his picture taken, and he was totally at ease the whole time! On the wedding day while we were eating dinner, we couldn’t stop talking about how easy she made the entire day go. Not to mention, our gallery is absolutely STUNNING and exactly what I dreamed of. We cannot recommend Gabriella enough, you will not regret it!”
