Your wedding shouldn't be about your photos but about the experience.
Your day is just that - YOUR day.

" Gabbi is an amazing person and photographer. She was SO patient in helping me pick a location and made us a personalized location guide so we could choose the best location for us and our day. She answered all of my questions and timely too! The goal was "little people big trees" and she struck gold. She made me and my husband feel super comfortable during the shoot. We got to be ourselves and have it captured in pictures. These are photos we will cherish forever, and Gabbi I cannot thank you enough for that!!! There was not a single photo in our gallery that I wasn't in awe of. If I lived in California I would seriously get her for anything that I needed photographed for like forever. Seriously not a penny would ever be wasted on her skills! BOOK HER!!"

"Gabbi is so talented, kind, and genuinely cares about not just the art she makes but the people she works with. I last minute wanted elopement photos to capture this time with our dog who was diagnosed with cancer (we sadly didn’t have much time to make it happen), and not only did Gabbi respond so quickly and eagerly take on the photo session with less than a week’s notice, but she treated us like family and had such a warm presence. I felt like she really understood and captured our love for each other, our sweet pups, and the beautiful setting we picked! It’s evident being a photographer is far more than just a job to her. Highly recommend!"
Beth & Paola
"The pictures that Gabbi took were far beyond our hopes in capturing our very intimate day. I can’t say enough good things about the exceptional customer service and highest level of professionalism. When the ceremony was done, we felt like our photographer was part of our family! We couldn’t be happier with the results."
