I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gabbie! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make our experience special. Our package included a complimentary engagemen...
t session, and she even traveled to Chattanooga, TN for the shoot without charging us an overnight fee—something that truly shows her dedication to her clients.
My husband usually feels anxious in front of a camera, but Gabbie made us both feel completely natural and at ease. She guided us with thoughtful posing, offered encouragement throughout the shoot, and created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. By the time our wedding day arrived, we knew we were in the very best hands.
On the day itself, Gabbie was an absolute joy—calm, bubbly, efficient, and detail-oriented. She captured everything seamlessly without ever making us feel rushed or overwhelmed. We were blown away when she delivered nearly 200 preview images just a few days after our wedding! Our guests and friends can’t stop raving about her, and neither can we!
We are beyond grateful to have had Gabbie as our photographer and cannot wait to work with her again for future life events. She is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also an amazing person who made our wedding experience unforgettable.
Gabbie was such an incredible photographer! We hired her originally because of all the great reviews and her photography style- but little did we know we were getting so much more!...
Neither me nor my husband love being in front of the camera, but she guided us through every shot- through engagement photos and wedding shots! Throughout the engagement process, I had so many questions and she was so patient in answering every one of them. And on our wedding day, everyone in our wedding party commented on how efficient she was in getting all the photos we wanted even in 100+ degree heat. And she got all our photos back to us in record time! So so thankful for Gabbie and would recommend her to everyone!
Gabbie was an absolute dream throughout the wedding and the months leading up to it . Not only will you get beautiful, to die for photos, you will also get to work with an incredib...
le person who truly cares about providing you meaningful images to keep forever. I could not recommend her enough! You will not be disappointed.
Gabbie is so amazing and easy easy to work with. My husband was so nervous about being in front of a camera, but she made us both feel so comfortable. We felt like we had been fri...
ends with her for years because she is so personable. Not only is she an amazing person, but her work is phenomenal. I was blown away by my engagement and wedding photos. The way she catches light makes her photos look like something out of a dream. If you want that light and airy look then she is definitely your girl. We absolutely love Gabbie and we plan to use her to capture all of our big moments moving forward.
Gabbie was the first vendor I booked. I had been to a wedding she photographed and the pictures were so genuine and natural, I knew she had to be my photographer. She exceeded all ...
expectations. My husband and I were blown away at our complimentary engagement session. She took the time in the session to get to know us, and our personalities. My husband loved that she was not hesitant to offer suggestions on how to pose and was honest about which angles were best for us. This was key in capturing us on our wedding day, and allowed for us and our wedding party to be relaxed and enjoy the day. Gabbie’s communication was perfect, always willing to offer suggestions, and always responding in a timely manner. As if the experience couldn’t be better, she finished editing our pictures sooner than the expected time frame and we are already getting to enjoy our pictures with friends and family. We can’t wait to receive our 90 prints included in our package! Our pictures are romantic, real, intimate, and will be special to us for a lifetime. Thank you Gabbie!!!
Words can’t begin to convey how amazing Gabbie is- not only as a photographer but as a person. We found her on a whim while we were down a social media rabbit hole trying to find a...
photographer for our big day- the rest is history and the pictures truly speak for themselves. From meeting her for the first time as she shot our engagement pictures to our wedding day, Gabbie made us feel so loved and comfortable, whether it was through her easy communication or her camera’s lens. 8 months later our friends and family still rave about our pictures and even mention having conversations with “the sweet photographer” at our reception. If you’re looking for someone who is going to make you feel like family while capturing the best moments of your life, Gabbie is your girl. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!
I can’t say enough about Gabbie — love her SO MUCH!!!! My best friend recommended her to me and I knew without a doubt I HAD to book her for my wedding photographer. She did our en...
gagement photos and I instantly loved her. She made us feel so comfortable, is so attentive to detail, so creative and just truly went above and beyond for us! Our wedding day was a hot mess and we fell an HOUR behind our timeline, but Gabbie remained SO calm and assured us not to worry, that we would make sure to get all of the pictures completed, and she did! Our wedding pics came back better than I could have ever imagined and she got them to us so fast!!! I cannot be more thankful for booking Gabbie and the friendship gained from it!
It is really hard to put into words how OUTSTANDING Gabbie is. She captured moments of our special day that I will treasure forever! She really is the dream photographer.
Gabbie ...

From the start of our initial first meeting to the day of she was there every step of the way. Gabbie and her team made everyone feel so relaxed the day of and was such a joy to be around.

orking with her. When I had questions or needed to run an idea by her, she was always just a call or text away. You can tell she loves what she does and there is no doubt that it shows every second of the day. My husband loved her. I loved her. Everyone said so many good things about her after our big day! We loved her so much we booked a family session with her! She was my best decision (beside my husband lol) in this wedding planning process! Can't thank her enough!
