Gabby was without a doubt the best photographer that we could have ever asked to be part of our wedding day. She was extremely thorough throughout the process from start to finish. She started with what was essentially an interview phone call where we got to know each other and what we wanted to feel when we saw our wedding photos. She captured everything beautifully. Nothing was left out, and she was with us for the entire day. She made our vision come to life, was prompt and extremely kind. She also includes a wedding worksheet to ensure that she does not miss any photo combinations or details, which was absolutely wonderful. We loved having Gabby and her expertise and would reccommed her to anyone!

We chose Gabby after researching and speaking with about 15 different photographers. As I'm very particular, I wanted someone who could confidently handle the job, especially since we didn’t have a day-of coordinator. Gabby was a pleasure to speak with over the phone and was quick to respond to our emails. Her process included a wedding day worksheet and a pre-wedding phone meeting to ensure she captured everything we wanted. We booked Gabby for two ceremonies—one on a Friday and the other the following Sunday. I never had to worry about her; she was always on time, friendly with everyone she interacted with, and flexible when photo requests deviated from the worksheet. Gabby is highly engaged, patient, and works well with minimal direction, often suggesting creative, spontaneous poses or shots. Our Friday wedding took place at a single venue, but Sunday involved two location changes—from our venue to my home, and then to Savannah Rapids. Gabby had no issues with these transitions and accommodated us without hesitation. We’ve already received our sneak peek, and we’re absolutely amazed by the photos. Gabby beautifully captured so many moments, especially the candid ones we hadn’t planned. We’re excited to see the rest of the gallery once it’s ready. Thank you Gabby! I hope we get to work with you again in the future.

I have always loved photography for the way it can bring you back and you can almost feel that moment twice. I love weddings and all that it brings. The quiet moments as you get ready, the anticipation before you see each other for the first time, the joy as everyone celebrates with your first kiss, the love and connection you share with all your guests, and the fun on the dance floor. I love how these 'big' days start something even more wonderful-- a big, beautiful life together. On a free weekend, you'll find me with my little family of 3, hiking, camping, or enjoying good food & company.

I would recommend Gabby to anyone who is looking for a photographer who is professional, caring, and fun to work with! Thank you Gabby for all you did for us on our special day!

Gabby was absolutely excellent to work with! Her portfolio speaks for itself and the photos we have gotten from her are all completely stunning and 100% aligned with our vision -- ...

we told her we wanted our photos to feel joyful, fun, and colorful and she has completely hit the mark. We had a pretty unique idea for our engagement photos (we wore white coveralls and had a paint fight) and Gabby got onboard right away and shot the most gorgeous and fun photos! Our wedding day sneak peek photos have us DYING for more. Beyond her photos & portfolio, Gabby is so warm, cheerful, and kind while also being direct & efficient. She wrangled our big families during our photo sessions with grace & firmness. Her and her second shooter (Travis) were so incredible on our wedding day and were always willing to jump in and help wherever needed. They even helped us lace up our reception shoes when we went to change and realized our mistake. My husband and I adore Gabby, my mom adores Gabby, and you'll adore Gabby too! She's the total package when it comes to photographers.

Gabby was the best photographer we could have ever hoped for. We told her what we were looking for in terms of nature (i.e., mountains and desert) for our wedding, and she knew al...

l the best spots. She recommended multiple places that provided stunning backdrops (e.g., Storm Mountain, Brighton, Donut Falls, Guardsman Pass, Antelope Island). She stayed with us the entire day (so many hours!) and did a second day after photo shoot to get some good desert pictures (Antelope Island). She was amazing with our friends and family, always very friendly and warm. I did a lot of research on photographers before choosing her, and her portfolio demonstrated exceptionally high quality work for a very reasonable price. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any event that you want to remember well.

Gabby is FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for a photographer. My husband and I are introverted and not super comfortable in front of the camera but Gabby...

made it easy. The communication throughout the whole process was perfect. She checked in often enough to ease my anxiety, but not so much that it added extra stress through the wedding planning process. We had her do our engagement and wedding photos and she did an amazing job at capturing our love in a way that felt authentic to who we are as a couple. She truly listened to what we wanted. On the actual wedding day, she literally saved my life by sewing a button to my dress so that I could have a bustle for my train to make sure I enjoyed the dancing without tripping or ruining my dress. She was so much more than our photographer, she was our friend who looked out for us and supported us the entire day. You will not be disappointed if you choose Burlap and Blossom!

nt style ceremony for which Gabby had no trouble trudging through snow to get the perfect shot. She had hand warmers at the ready if we needed them too. Gabby is easy to talk to and communicate with. Most importantly, she payed attention to detail and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We have only gotten our sneak peek, but all the photos are gorgeous. I cannot wait for the final album!

Of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding, Gabby was absolutely the best. Her professionalism was genuinely next-level, and there were multiple points where she saved the ...

day by having whatever things we needed on-hand, just ready to go. It spoke to a level of wedding mastery few can dream of, let alone rightly claim. She was incredibly kind, and a pleasure to just talk with. She’s bubbly, funny, and had no problems at all wrangling either of our families and getting them wherever and however they needed to be. And the photos. The PHOTOS!!! When we got our photos back, all 1100+, we were BLOWN AWAY by how good they were. Each of them was a masterpiece in their own right, worthy of print and display. Gabby has an expert control of composition and color that left my wife and I STUNNED! I’m so glad we get to remember that day in such beautiful clarity. I’d leave a hundred stars if I could, and I’ll recommend her every chance I get.

st minute fix saver with great ideas and helpful tips/tricks for must have wedding stuff! Amazing woman who does amazing work and I cannot say amazing enough. My husband and I are not photogenic, we rarely take photos of ourselves, but she mananged to capture some truly authentic and beautiful photos of us. I cannot rave enough about her. I recommend this lovely lady to all my family and friends and her process is simple, easy, and produces stunning results. 10/10 highly recommend.

Gabby was so amazing on our wedding day - it was beyond what we could have dreamed of and I would recommend her to anyone. I initially chose her because I could afford the cost and...

I felt like you got a lot for that price. She was with me from the moment I arrived at the venue until we left that evening. She had printed out the shot list I provided along with my schedule and made sure we got every shot I wanted, even when I almost said screw it I want to be done with photos -- I am sooo happy she asked me one more time if I was sure. She kept us on track for our timeline too! She really helped the day go by flawlessly and stress-free. My family and bridal party all mentioned at some time or another just how wonderful she was to be around and the photos came out just fantastic. Thank you again, Gabby!

ions you may have throughout planning. She made sure that we had time to speak with her and tell her everything we hoped for - and she was on board to help us make it happen! She is incredibly attentive to detail and has a worksheet that covers all details and wants you may have. On wedding day, she was excellent. My groom usually hates photos and looks uncomfortable but with Gabby we were both so comfortable and she captured our most joyful moments. Lastly, Gabby was not afraid to get in the middle of the silliest, craziest dance moments either to snap fun action shots!

mmediately. I was so disorganised in the planning of our vowel renewals and Gabby made it SO easy for me. She sent me a questionnaire, I answered and she made sure to cover all the angles the day of our celebration. Wedding days are so chaotic and having a photographer who cares means A LOT. The pictures turned out wonderful with so much selection and memorable candid moments. She made everyone feel so comfortable and the entire photography experience felt natural. Having excellent photography is important, but having a really kind, positive presence on such an intimate, special day is equally as important. Gabby never felt like a stranger doing her job, she felt like she was part of the group celebrating our day. I can only recommend her professionalism, talent and who she is as a person!
