"My husband and I knew from the start that a traditional wedding wasn’t for us. We wanted something adventurous, intimate, and deeply personal, and Gabbi was the perfect guide to help us bring that vision to life. From day one, she worked closely with us to choose the most breathtaking location in the Redwoods and designed experiences that felt uniquely us. Her extensive knowledge of the area—from hidden gems to the best lighting for photos—made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free.
On the day of our wedding, Gabbi was an absolute professional. She came fully prepared and ready to adapt to anything, keeping everything on track while ensuring we felt relaxed and truly present. Her warm, calming energy made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured every detail, every moment, with such care and creativity. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and her passion shines through in every photo.
Speaking of the photos—they blew us away. Each image is more stunning than the last, beautifully telling the story of our day. Gabbi didn’t just document our wedding; she captured the essence of us and created memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, look no further. We can’t recommend Gabbi highly enough!"

Your elopement day is one of the most important days of your life and choosing your elopement photographer and planner is not only the biggest choice you'll make but it's also your biggest expense when it comes to your elopement day.
Choosing the right person is a huge choice not only financially but they'll also be the one person present during every moment of one of the most intimate days of your lives, so before you sign on the dotted line make sure you've found the right fit for YOU.
Here's a few things to keep in mind:
- Do they specialize in my chosen area and can they help me choose locations that truly represent me and my partner?
- If you're planning on adding activities into your day, is the photographer passionate and knowledgeable about your activities and hobbies?
- Are they knowledgeable and can they help me when it comes to obtaining permits to get married in the park?
- Are they passionate about my elopement location? A passionate photographer means knowledge and stewardship to ensure the long term health of your ecosystem so when you go back to visit 30 years from now it's exactly how you remember it, if not better.
While you're hiring someone to take your photos, your elopement photographer should be so much more than someone who just presses a button.

" 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!"
"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."
