Gabelli Studio

shoes, bouquet, jewelry, etc.) This also helped out later on when I was running a bit late to the church- John calmed me down and reassured me that everything would be fine. John is calm, cool and collected, but can also be assertive to keep the day running on schedule, especially when you have a bridal party of 30 people! He was able to rally the troops and take incredible photos at Liberty State Park and the hall. He took all the pictures that I wanted (and more!) of myself, husband, family and friends. The same day edit was also a great addition- it was a movie-quality video everyone kept telling us how amazing it came out! It was a nice clip to play at the reception for everyone to get a recap of our wedding. I kept telling John throughout the day how happy I was to have him there, and I truly meant it! 10/10 would recommend Gabelli Studio to any bride getting married in the tri-state area! John truly understands how important a couple’s wedding photos and videos are.

he quality, content, and context of their photos. Gabelli does an amazing job in capturing the most important moments and elements of a wedding day, whether the moments are planned or sporadic. The photography capture the essence of human emotion in all its joy for the bride and groom and their guests. After our first meeting with Christina, who was so sweet and informative, we knew we wanted to book with Gabelli. Gabby was also so sweet to work with and answered all my questions promptly. We met with John, the lead photographer, a couple weeks before the wedding to go through the day of details, itinerary and timing, etc. John was super accommodating to the schedule and activities we had in mind and provided some suggestions as well based on his expertise and experience. On the day of the wedding, John, Jim, and Lou did an amazing job capturing all the big moments of the day and identifying amazing places to take pictures of us, our parents, and our bridal party. I'd like to specifically highlight how accommodating and flexible they were in meeting our requests. I asked for additional and specific photos to be taken in different areas of our venue and they accommodated every single request. It goes to show how much they care about their couples and capturing all the public and intimate moments of the special day. Beyond their skills as photographers, John, Jim, and Lou are so personable and have a great sense of humor, which is always such a positive when it comes to weddings as the day can be stressful for couples. My husband and I had a lot of fun during the photoshoot with Gabelli and we can't wait to see our photos in the coming weeks! Thank you John, Jim, and Lou!

mile in his immaculate and beautifully decorated office. Our conversation was instantly organic; we bonded over getting married in March, our love for Nashville and Jersey delicacies. My husband and I were not only in awe of John’s personality and professionalism, but his talent and true passion for wedding photography. When we were driving back to our home in CT, my husband (who is not comfortable in front of a camera) looked at me and said “We’re done. We have to book him. I would feel comfortable having him take my picture all day.” MUSIC TO MY EARS! We both admitted that if we waited to long and lost John to another commitment we would be devastated. We booked John the next day and all our initial instincts we’re correct - he was the best decision we made. From the day we booked with Gabelli Studio to our wedding day, John treated us like family. Being an out-of-state couple, John and his team were overly communicative with us and whenever (which was often) we had questions or needed guidance, John would pick up the phone and call. We talked through timelines and shot lists together – he never let us feel alone in the process, he was on our team and was invested in making our dream wedding come true. On the day of our wedding, John/Jim/Tab/Lou showed up prompt and excited, as if they were just as excited for our day as we were. They made us laugh, cry (happy tears!) and feel so comfortable with each click. When John and his team saw a moment to be captured outside the shot list, my husband and I never hesitated and followed suit. We knew they were capturing our dream wedding in our photos that would last forever. If we've said it once, we’ve said it a million times since our wedding, John and Gabelli Studio were the MVP’s of our wedding. It wouldn’t have been what it was without them – THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!

!

m,sal and the videographer and assistants were amazing to work with. They handled all requests we had and were able to calm me down when i was nervous. They were such a pleasure to work with. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without the help of Gabelli studios. Christina who works in the office is also such a sweetheart. We can’t thank them enough for all they did for us.

group. Thank you, Gabelli!

since our wedding day and we haven't even seen the photos yet! From start to finish working with Gabelli team has been great. There are a lot of awkward photographers out there and we were not impressed by any, but as soon as we met with John our minds were put at ease. He did our engagement photos in Central Park and made us feel very comfortable. Photography is the most important aspect/detail of a wedding to invest in so I suggest that you don't cut corners with this one and go with Gabelli, you won't be disappointed!

tina and Deena they have been top notch. They made the process extremely easy and their product speaks for itself. We look at our photos and video almost daily and are still receiving compliments on how beautifully everything was captured. We would love to find any excuse to work with them again (dog shoot, family photos, etc)!

l of duty! The staff there is also great, very quick to answer emails and calls.

tifully. They turned out exactly the way I pictured. Christina was also really responsive to all emails and answered any questions we had along the way. From the moment we met John my husband and I felt really comfortable with him and knew we did not want anyone else to capture our wedding.

John as our photographer while the guys had Jim for theirs before they ended up working together after our first look. John made us girls feel so comfortable and really took his time to make sure the shots were exactly how we wanted them to look and kept us laughing all morning. The guys would not stop raving about Jim all night, he's definitely a 'man's man' and made plenty of jokes with the rowdy crew of cops that my husband had as groomsmen. We were able to see a few of the photos straight off the camera lens that day and were in awe!!! Prior to our wedding day, we had John & Christina involved in every step of our process. My (then) fiance had reached out and had John there during the proposal for photos (gorgeous) and we also had him for our engagement shoot (stunning). Christina was there for every question that we had and always had an answer in my inbox within moments (okay not actually moments don't get too excited but you know what I mean). Deena was there to edit the proposal & engagement shoot photos to perfection and tweaked anything I asked for! We cannot wait to see what she makes happen for our wedding photos! To be real: John had never been to our engagement shoot location and neither John nor Jim had been to our wedding venue prior to our wedding, which made us a little nervous - this did not cause a ripple in any bit of their photography! They acted as if they knew every corner of each place and where to get the best lighting for the photo. They showed up on time and ready to work, and then worked up until the last moment - John was taking photos basically as he was walking out the door! The Gabelli Studio family welcomes you with open arms from the moment you step through the studio doors. We could not be happier with the decision we made to book with Gabelli and cannot wait to cherish these photos forever! Thank you to their entire staff!!!

.

We got married in Asbury park and I know taking pictures on a busy boardwalk is chaotic, but Gabelli made it look easy. We are both on cloud nine and cannot wait to see the shots!

process. Christina, in the office, is so helpful, kind and responsive. John and Dan photographed our wedding, they worked seamlessly with everyone and when our wedding was delayed due to rain, Dan stayed far later than he needed to and was able to get so many memorable shots toward the end of the night. I can't thank them enough!

amazing since they were recommended to us by Pleasantdale. We contacted Gabelli to inquire about wedding photography and videography and set up a meeting with Christina, studio manager. Christina is a pleasure to work with! She discussed photography and videography package options with us, and showed us what is truly work of art. We saw the most beautiful albums and framed photos we have ever seen and ever will see. We were truly blown away by what we saw. Christina was very attentive to our needs and desires, and made sure that we were happy with our choices. For example, there are a lot of video options, all which are great choices. Christina made arrangements for my husband and I to view various videos so that we could have a better idea of how awesome our video can be. We decided to book our wedding photography and videography with Gabelli and we are beyond thrilled that we did! We decided to include an engagement shoot in our package. We thought it would be fun to get to know John (our primary photographer) a bit before our big day. What better way to do this than to have an engagement shoot with him? Our engagement shoot was so much fun! John is a pleasure to work with! He's fun, charismatic, funny, sweet, and the absolute best photographer! A lot of people think they have the best photographer ever, but I know I had the best photographer ever! Consider photography and videography one of your areas to splurge. Your wedding comes and goes much too quickly and you will have your photos and video forever. Why not hold onto the finest products of photography and videography? In searching for photographers and videographers, look no further than Gabelli. They are truly the best in the busniness and an absolute pleasure to work with! They not only beautifully photographed and recorded our wedding day/night, they went out of their way to assure that our needs and desires were met even if unrelated to their work. For example, at one point John asked us if we would like to take a little break for water, wine, snack, restroom, etc. I decided to have a glass of water and John poured me a glass of water before my bridal attendant could have a chance to. Thank you to the dream team, John, Jim, Mike, Carlos, and Christina for capturing our very special day!

es of the bridal party so they felt comfortable with him as well. He remembered all of the must have pictures and through out the night made sure that we got them all. We wouldn't have chosen or trusted anyone else for our special day.

that we had chosen the best team in the business, and now, looking at our breathtaking photos we cannot even put into words how grateful we are to have chosen the Gabelli Studios team to document our wedding day. Christina, the studio manager, was so thorough and responsive to answer any and all questions we had, and made a timeline for us in advance of our day so that we knew exactly what to expect. Day of, John and the rest of the team made us feel so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera - we had so much fun taking photos, and STILL got to participate fully in our wedding day. The entire team so beautifully and artistically captured our entire day – even catching some moments with guests that we had missed. Looking through our photos was like re-living our wedding day all over again. We cannot thank you enough for everything – and we will look forward to working with you again for other milestones in our life together!

na always responded to emails and calls quickly, answering any questions or concerns in detail and organizing our schedule for the day. She made the whole process go so smoothly! The day of our wedding, John and Jim made sure the whole wedding party was relaxed and had fun while taking our pictures throughout the entire day. Everyone was personable and accommodating as our wedding party was quite large! Many of the bridesmaids and groomsmen have been in multiple weddings and couldn’t get over how easy the Gabelli team was to work with. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our special day and for the memories we will have for years to come.

know they were at the wedding reception because not one time were they in our faces. No one even knew we had a photographer! We had our engagement photos with Jim and they came out amazing - I can only imagine how wonderful our wedding photos will be. The team was great to work with during the whole planning process!! We love Gabelli!

uests. Needless to say there was a lot going on. Gabelli knew I desperately wanted photos of my moms side and my fathers side before the cocktail hour. It was like herding cats but they made sure they helped me get it done! I am forever thankful that I will have these photos for generations to come! The photographers themselves were fun, warm, and professional. My bridesmaids absolutely loved them.. maybe too much! Thanks to their upbeat attitude it wasn't hard to have impromptu moments of laughter which made for perfect photos. Moreover, my husband has never been a fan of taking pictures. Yet they were able to really make him feel comfortable and boy does he look great!! The only downside to working with Gabelli is that you will absolutely love ALL OF THE PHOTOS!!! I would trust them to pick out the photos for you because once you see them all you will want them all. They have great tastes and they will make you an amazing album. I was in the middle of moving and couldn't get to them to go through the photos together so I decided to go through thousands of pictures myself. Big mistake. They were all great!!! Trust Gabelli to make your bridal party and family comfortable and to make you a wedding album you will want to look at every day for the next 70 years!

ice!

great hands! John and Jim both photographed our wedding and we could not be more pleased with their professionalism and being experts at their craft!! For some, it might be a little awkward or uncomfortable to be photographed (especially the kissing part! Lol!) but John and Jim are so awesome to work with that it made it fun!!!! Everyone in the office is also great! Christina is the best and made sure our day/night was organized and perfect!! I look forward to working with others when we get back our proofs and start to choose our album!! Do yourself a favor and hire Gabelli Studios to photograph your wedding, party, whatever event you have! You will not be disappointed....it was the best decision we made!!

such ease and had so much fun during our photo session. John made the whole process so much fun and was so creative with the way he had us pose in addition he was so great with understanding that we really wanted our shots to be done at the restaurant where we had our first date. Christine, John’s assistant is one of the loveliest people that I have ever come across. She is always available for anything that I needed in addition to giving the best advise as she crafted our save the dates. I received countless calls and texts in regards to how beautiful our save the dates were and how talented the Gabelli team is. On the day of my wedding , John and his assistant Jim made my wedding party so relaxed and we had nothing but fun during our pictures. I truly believe that photos are the biggest part of a wedding and an investment since they last forever. Every bride wants a beautiful sunny day for their wedding and even if it rained on my wedding day, I knew that John would be able to capture us in the best light and capture who my husband and I are. The Gabelli team made my dreams come true. I cannot wait to continue my relationship with them as I want the team to capture every milestone of our lives

el, and Tab were on time the day of the wedding and took over 1,700 pictures! They were creative and also took any suggestions we made. Our pictures look absolutely perfect and we have gotten so many compliments on them. They felt like more than a photography studio to us; they felt like our family! I am so happy that we chose them for our wedding!

t many people do) and was so great with everyone, even our furry friends! No detail goes unnoticed and they really make a point to make sure the entire day is special. I would recommend them 100%!

n to earth and incredibly talented! The entire Gabelli Staff is friendly and extremely accommodating. It was truly a pleasure to work with them. Christina is an absolute sweetheart. She answered every phone call and email so quickly. She sat with us to explain every question we had in detail. We cannot thank her enough! The day of our wedding we had John, his assistant Jim and another photographer Kyle. All of them were extremely personable, talented, accommodating and flexible. The whole Gabelli team is truly spectacular. We cannot wait to see our pictures and use Gabelli for all the years to come! Thank you from the bottom of our heart for capturing the best day of our lives. You were apart of making our wedding day a dream come true.

r down to earth and made us feel comfortable right from the start! Jim was our second photographer and was just as great. He was funny and easy going. We requested a few photos and they accommodated us no problem. Michael, our videographer, fantastic as well! Once the celebrations started it was like he wasn't there which was great, because the last thing you want is a huge camera in your face. You knew he was around getting all of the action but was never invasive. Christina, the studio manager was a pleasure to communicate with and put our minds at ease every time we had a question. I would hands down recommend Gabelli to anyone who wants a photographer you can trust and feel great with!! Thank you so much to everyone there!

special occasions.

were all amazing to work with the day of our wedding. So professional and proficient. They got all the "key/important" pics out of the way prior to start of reception and you barely even knew they were there the rest of the night! The quality of the work is amazing, and I recommended Gabelli Studios to all of my friends/peers looking for a photographer! Also Christina is SO PERSONABLE, and really allows your experience to be smooth from start to finish!

memorable. The two photographers for the wedding were very easy to talk to and made everyone feel very comfortable and we all had a blast taking the pictures. When I saw the proofs I was very pleased, we had the posed pictures of the family and wedding party, and great candid shots with all our guests have a blast at the reception. Working with the team to create the album was extremely easy and helpful. I was able to review what I wanted and make sure it came out perfectly. The final result was just that, perfect! I would recommend using Gabelli for your big day!

to both our engagement shoot and wedding photographs, not to mention truly beautiful photographs. No one at the studio ever tried to push and fancy extras on us and were completely respectful of our taste and preferences. At the wedding, the photography team did an excellent job of being discrete but totally attentive. Our guests loved the crew and how friendly and professional they were. We really had an unexpected blast working with these guys due to our camera phobia :) Thank you Gabelli for capturing our very special day. (We love you Jimmy!!!)

th their wine barrels (haha) walking through the vineyard... SO so so accommodating. And they were closed to the public, since it was a weekday. So we didn't even have to deal with customers getting in the way. I would STRONGLY recommend using them if you have another bride interested in a similar location. Secondly, I don't think I can even find the words to describe how utterly blown away we were with Jim. To be honest, I was a bit nervous about the shoot; I am much more comfortable behind the scenes. =) Well, once we got started, I realized how easy Jim was going to make the entire day. It was actually so much fun. Justin and I can't stop talking about it and laughing about how much fun we had. I am so grateful for Jim's ability to build rapport with us so quickly to allow us to let loose and have fun, but at the same time, maintain the perfect level of professionalism. Also, we spent almost 2 hours taking photos, and I know that is not standard. We are aware of Jim's dedication to get as many shots as he could, it was obvious he was not focused on the time at all (which flew by... again, thanks to Jim!). I haven't even seen the pictures yet, but I am 10000% confident I made the right decision. I CANNOT wait for the wedding day!!!! I know Jim is going to be a breath of fresh air on what can be a very hectic/chaotic day. Thanks again!

o the quality of the pictures, everything was perfect. All of my guests commented on how many photographers we had, and how great the pictures turned out. If you want great pictures to make your special day last a lifetime, this is the place for you!

if we would sign the contract or not. My mom went to the appointment and met with John and Jim. My mom fell in love so we went with them. She scheduled our shoot with Jim. First the engagement shoot which we had to reschedule our shoot last minute and Jim was VERY accommodating. So being a Bride and a perfectionist I was slightly nervous that I never met my photographer and he was about to shoot one of the biggest moments of my life. The pictures were breathtaking. Jim created a professional, fun, and memorable experience. Christina at Gabelli helped put our save the dates together and we came up with an unforgettable magnet. The studio is gorgeous and Lisa is a creative genius. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing team!! The day of the wedding Jim arrived with his team. We also choose to have videography through Gabelli. I was running about 45 minutes late, which created some tension for everyone but the staff at Gabelli. They stayed so calm, cool, and happy throughout the whole thing. I REALLY appreciated that. The last thing you want when your already stressed on your wedding day is your vendors adding to it. They took the stress away. At the end of it all the entire Gabelli staff has become like family. Oh and their work?? PHENOMENAL and ONE OF A KIND! I loved them so much I plan to use them for any special occasion going forward :)

and picture quality was fantastic. Every picture was beautiful. The photographers are very professional and know what they are doing. They were able to accommodate my wedding last minute, when my other photographer fell through. My pictures were developed fairly soon, so I was able to send out my thank you cards at a reasonable time. The Cons I had a fairly large wedding, and I hired 2 photographers to take pictures of both the bride and groom as well the guests. I specifically mentioned that in my questionnaire, but instead, we received too many photos of the bride and groom, and barely any photos of our guests. I wasn't able to take pictures with my extended family, grandparents, aunts. I felt like it was an expensive photo shoot of just my husband and myself. - I was very upset about this. The videographer did a good job with our video, however, it took over a year to receive the video. I was hoping to receive it at least before our one year anniversary-- but no. I know they work very hard and are very proud of the work they do. But needless to say we were both pleased and disappointed with our wedding pictures/ video.

ce and down to earth that he made us feel so comfortable with him right from the beginning! From getting to know us at our engagement session, to meeting with us as many times as we needed to before the wedding, he truly made us feel special! The entire staff at Gabelli is so warm and friendly, that it truly is a pleasure just talking to them. The day of our wedding, we had John, his assistant, and another photographer -- all of which were more than accommodating and flexible! The whole Gabelli team is truly the BEST!!! and we cannot wait to see our pictures from the wedding a few weeks ago!!! I just know they are going to be spectacular!!!!

tures. We felt like we didn't even know they were there and we got to enjoy every minute of the wedding. They also got us to cocktail hour on time which was very important to us! Christina R. in the office is also amazing. She answered all of my questions whenever I had them and was always so friendly and helpful. I can't wait to see the pictures and the video!!

edited). They led us through the entire process (engagement photos, booking the videographers, etc) without a hiccup and on the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. Even my friends and family complimented the team on not only their professionalism, but also their general attitude towards the whole day. They were the ones that kept our wedding day running smooth, even though we couldn't take pictures where we had planned due to the weather. Christina, the studio manager, is an absolute gem to work with and she'll always greet you with smile. I couldn't recommend a single vendor more than I would recommend them!

tography and videography for the wedding. They are very patient, flexible and accommodating, which every bride really needs to be comfortable on their wedding day. Jim, our main photographer for the engagement session and wedding, and Michael, our second photographer at the wedding were absolutely perfect! Jim's personality was a great match with ours so we got along really well. He knew when to give me a break (I hate taking pictures) and knew how to direct the wedding party and family to get great pictures. Family pictures were done in an hour! There were so many beautiful shots, we are having a hard time narrowing down our selection for the album. The pictures were not cheesy, wedding cookie cutter shots. He captured the moments in our wedding perfectly. Mike our videographer was also great. Funny, professional and knew how to provide good direction to get what he needed. I would highly recommend using Gabelli to anyone I know. I am definitely planning on using them again.

dreary day to their beautiful studio and was greeted by wonderful Christina who always has a huge smile on her face! She automatically made me feel at home, and then I met fantastic John! After talking with him and seeing how enthusiastic he is about his work, and admiring how beautiful his work is, I knew that I had to have him as my photographer! He did my engagement shoot, my bridal shower, and my wedding, and I plan on using him for everything else I have in my life. They are truly the best photographers and videographers out there. They are also the nicest and most professional people to work with. I also was so hesitant about having a videographer and did not decide until shortly before my wedding on April 11, 2015 to have one. Gabelli never pressured me to use Jim and his crew and I was so nervous there would be wires everywhere and cameras in my face, however, I did not even notice them! They were so non-invasive and I am so glad they were there to catch every minute of my special day!! I truly can't thank Gabelli Studio enough for catching every moment of my special events and producing such beautiful work. I literally get the chills when I look at the pictures and I am so excited to share them with future generations to come. Thank you for everything!! Love, Lisa & Russell

al day. Photography was very important to us and I did a lot of research on various photographers and styles. When I found John from Gabelli I was done looking. I loved every picture he took. Nothing looked too posed. His photography is very natural looking and he captures the emotions the people in the photos are feeling. His pictures will be cherished by my family and I for many years. My husband and I got married on 3/27/15. John and Jim photographed our day. They were very professional and made taking pictures so easy and fun. I have only seen a few pictures so far. Our wedding was actually featured on NJ.com and the Star Ledger. John was so nice to submit photos to the newspaper very quickly for the article. I didn't realize that the photos that were used were actually untouched photos... they looked stunning!!! I could not believe it when Christina, (who works for Gabelli and is an absolute sweetheart and pleasure to work with), told me that the photos are untouched. I was so thrilled with the untouched photos I just cannot wait to see the final product with retouched photos! I can't imagine the pictures getting anymore beautiful. John also did an engagement shoot with us with turned out amazing. We had a really fun day going to Liberty State Park and getting some awesome pictures in front of the NYC skyline! We love Gabelli studios and are so happy with their services. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for professional and timeless photographs for their wedding. Thank you Gabelli! - Love Jess & AJ

by every frame they gave me and can’t even narrow down my favorites because there are so many. Thanks for getting all the best shots and working so hard to make sure it all looked beautiful!

uality. Beautiful capturing of light and colors--no matter what the location - indoors with low lighting, outdoors in sun, outdoors in clouds, evening/night shots...these people know how to capture good photographs!! They are professionals who understand that photography is an art and they know their craft. Jim was our photographer and Joey was his assistant. They were both SO incredible the day of our wedding! (Taking photos in the middle of busy NYC streets is no easy task when you have 20 seconds to cross a street!) Jim made everyone feel relaxed with his jokes and my bridal party had a lot of fun with both of them throughout the entire day. Jim showed me a few photos he captured throughout the day and they were gorgeous! My husband and I can't wait to see the proofs in a few weeks. We are so happy we chose Gabelli to photograph our wedding! They are worth every penny! Thanks again Jim and Joey! ~ Diane and Gustavo Villanueva

party and family that we all couldn't be happier. When you're truly looking for capturing those remarkable photos that have emotion, this is the vendor to go with. They won't disappoint! Thank you for capturing the most beautiful day of our lives.

ing with them again in the future!

e, I knew this was going to be my photographer period. So we set an apt with them and we met them, John and his staff are like no other, from the minute we walked in we were apart of their family from day 1. I have no regrets in choosing them, when you see the beauty and the passion in their work (take a look at their website) you will see what I am speaking about and they will make you relive your dream wedding all over again. Our wedding day was perfect with John and his crew, they made the day just even more perfect with no questions asked John just knows what to capture that's just how great he is. I have never met a more brilliant team than Gabelli Studio, the passion they all have for their clients and the work they do are worth everything imagined and I cannot wait to see how beautiful our finished product is along with our video when its ready. When you book Gabelli you will not have any regrets trust me, you will have the most amazing photos/video for your special day as I will use them for every event that I ever need in the future! So to my friends at Gabelli Studio thank you for everything, you all have a special place in my heart and I'm so blessed to have met all of you!

m, Christina,Lisa, and the rest of the crew are so great to work with. John did a wonderful job on our engagement shoot and I'm so excited to see the wedding pictures!!!

s a blast to work with! he kept me calm and smiling the entire day by telling jokes and making me laugh. It was truly a great day thanks to Jim and the Gabelli crew! I would DEFINITLY work with them again, and recommend them to anyone... you wont be disappointed!

s answered promptly with such enthusiasm and respect. I felt like I had known them for years. They are professional, brilliant, kind hearted & compassionate; just the best in the business. Our wedding day was filled with lots of laughter thanks to John and we truly couldn't have picked anyone else. We can't wait to see our proofs and we are looking forward to using this company for years to come. We love each and everyone of you, and cannot thank you enough for truly making our wedding day a fairytale come true. Love you all!!!! -------------------------- While searching for our wedding photographer, the task wasn't easy. In fact, it was the last thing my fiance and I left on our to do list. For months, we researched and contacted many photographers in our area, but none of them left us in amazement. However, that all changed once we met with John. Upon our first meeting, we knew Gabelli Studio would photograph our wedding. John's work is phenomenal & we knew we couldn't have anyone else photograph our wedding. John and his staff are absolutely amazing. They are a group of talented, hard working, caring individuals who truly care for their clients. Every question and every e-mail I had was answered with honesty, love and concern. We just had our engagement session & we are beyond thrilled. John made us feel so comfortable, like we had known him for years and THAT'S what is so important! We are looking forward to our wedding & all our future photography needs because we are truly blessed to have found such a wonderful company, as well as wonderful individuals. Gabelli Studio is the absolute BEST. You will not find their quality and care anywhere else. It won't stop at our wedding, because I know we will be coming back to Gabelli Studio in the future!!! We love you guys!!!!

was very against having a videographer at first because I hate when they are in your face and bothering everyone at the wedding. Gabelli studios captured all of the best moments at our wedding and we barely even knew they were there! Everyone raved about how calm and organized the photographers were. We can't wait to see all of our pictures and the video!! If you want a professional and attentive photographer and videographer, Gabelli studios is the place to go. If i could give them a 10 out of 10, I would. Thank you again!!!!

an appointment to book them. Once I met with John, it was a done deal! Everyone at Gabelli was extremely helpful during the entire process. Especially Christina! And god bless my photographers and videographer for putting up with my circus act of a bridal party (24 people!) but they did it with a smile on their faces all day! Planning a wedding is a lot of work but luckily for me I had the best vendors and never had to worry about a thing! I am so excited to continue to work with Gabelli when it is time to make my album! Thanks again guys!!!! You really are the best!! AnnMarie & Lenny Perna

ding funny family photos! I would definitely use them again for special occasions.

highly recommend Gabelli Studio to all future brides - I can't thank them enough for allowing us to relive our special day all over again. Thank you!!

eginning, everyone was super helpful through the planning process and were a pleasure to work with. John and Jim helped make our wedding day so special and our family and friends all raved about them. Everyone has already said they love our photos and are the best they have seen. I would highly recommend Gabelli to anyone because it is guaranteed that in the end you will have amazing wedding photos. Photos of the day are so important and I knew I had nothing to worry about by choosing Gabelli. We can't wait to fill our home with our wedding photos because they are just so amazing. Thanks to John, Jim and everyone at Gabelli!

ure our engagement and wedding day. John and his team are friendly, professional and extremely talented. They were there with immediate responses to any questions we had and they made our day even more memorable. They are so fun to work with and that made all the pictures so enjoyable. We saw a sneak peak of our pictures at our reception and I can't wait to see all of them! We had so many compliments from family and the bridal party on how great the photographers and videographer were and I couldn't agree more. At the end of the day, when all the planning is done and the celebration is over, all we have left are our pictures and video. I am so thankful that we chose Gabelli to provide us with our memories that will last long after our wedding. Gabelli is a must use studio!

to save $$ in other areas and splurge on the photography. You will not regret it. Gabelli Studios photographed my brother's wedding as well. They work very fast, know what they are doing, and have a great eye. No standing around while they get it together. They know exactly what to do. I am a designer myself and have looked at dozens and dozens of photographer's portfolios and Gabelli really is the best!!

5.0/5.0) Services Used: Photography, Videography My husband and I are continually impressed (amazed, even) by Gabelli Studios. John and Jim both photographed our wedding. They were calm, professional, and positive, even when my family was a little challenging to gather for photos. Having such professional people around me that day made me so calm and allowed me to enjoy the party, confident that they would take care of it. We planned the wedding at a distance and didn't really have a lot of contact with them before the wedding, but they were so clearly on top of things that it didn't concern me at all. Our photographs turned out amazing- we got a great mix of traditional family shots and beautiful, creative photos of us and our guests and venues. We are still working on our albums but Gabelli's customer service has made the whole process very easy. Everyone we've communicated with at the studio has been amazing. They've gone so far as to ship us our "Thank You" notes because we're out of state and no one was available to pick them up. We stretched our photography budget to get Gabelli, because it was important to me to have those memories preserved, and it was completely worth it (and more!). Looking through our photos is like reliving the day over again. Jim and John captured the absolute best memories of our wedding in the most beautiful way possible. I have already recommended Gabelli to every engaged couple in NJ I know, and will continue to recommend them.

on our wedding day! PFT! Professional, Fun, & Talented what more could you ask for. We had then entire Gabelli Team with us for the 10 hours John Bacolo, Jim, Teddy, Ryan. We also had Lisa & Christina with us who did a special package called "The Social Media" package which through out the night our photo's were seen live at our wedding and also live on social media for those who could not be there it was incredible! Your photo's & video will be all you have left to look back on and what we have seen so far all of our photo's are "Priceless". We were iffy on video but now we are so happy we had it as well our evening went so fast & we now have the video to look forward too. Don't hesitate on this crew! John Bacolo and his team are truly amazing and the work that they do is really untouchable!! Thank you all again so much!!

y accessible by email and phone for any questions leading up to the wedding and they helped us decide the best way to organize their coverage of our day. They did a same-day video edit for us which was amazing, and many of our guests can't stop talking about how incredible it was and that they were able to put it together within hours. We can't wait to see how our wedding pictures turned out, but if the video and our engagement pictures are any indication, we know that they will be beautiful!! Gabelli's team isn't just made up of photographers and videographers, but rather true artists!!

S Marine. The day of the wedding the team was on time and really wonderful to work with. They weren't intrusive and made us both feel very comfortable! Mike and josh were a great team and we are very happy! The photos we have already seen were amazing! They are very talented and worth the extra money!

d yet noninvasive, which is hard to find in that industry. The whole team made us feel like family and my husband and I were really thrilled with our choice. Our engagement shoot was amazing so I rest assured that our wedding would be nothing but the best! Working at Mercedes Benz I really have very high expectations, and Gabelli exceeded them all (which is hard!) Jim the other photographer who worked with us as we had 2 photographers (Jim and John) was so funny and just a pleasure to work with. We are so excited to see our album but I have no doubt that the photos will be flawless as they captured our personalities which is what I love about their work! I highly recommended them you will NOT be disappointed!

engagement photos are stunning and I am sure our wedding pictures will be just as gorgeous! The day of the wedding, John and the rest of the crew were so professional and made me feel so comfortable. They did not bother us one bit and were able to capture every moment of the day! They were so attentive with our time schedule that we even got to indulge in our cocktail hour! I was able to sneak a peek at some of the pictures that day and they were absolutely beautiful. They also put together a quick same day edit video of my husband and I getting ready and the ceremony to show at the reception and it was beautiful. I cannot explain how many compliments I received on the video alone. LOVE THEM and thank you for everything!!!

y to work with John and Jim. They were super helpful throughout the wedding. We were able to capture beautiful pictures and still enjoy every aspect of our wedding. I would certainly recommend Gabelli Studio to anyone planning a wedding!

meeting with John Bacolo, we IMMEDIATELY knew we wanted to book them for our wedding. He made us feel like we knew him forever and wanted to give us the best service for our money. I admit that they were a little above our price range, but after seeing some of the samples and having our meeting with John, we knew that we absolutely wanted Gabelli Studio to create the photo/video memories for our wedding. Even after our wedding, going over our photos and video, we're still getting top notch service from the entire staff. I cannot say enough of how much we love dealing with this company and we look forward to doing future business with them as well.

rs which photos they absolutely need to take - these guys need no instructions. They just know it all. Photography was a top priority for my wedding (even more important to me than my dress!) and they did fantastic work.

end them to anyone. Definitely worth every single penny.

got a whopper of a package of things from them and we could not be more pleased! Jim and Dan were fun and easy going throughout the day and always there for when things happened! The best compliment I can give is that they were never intrusive but they always got their shot! They made the day awesome and our pictures are truly breathtaking memories for us!! We highly highly highly recommend them to any bride that is looking for a good mix of photojournalism and traditional. They do it all and they are truly there to work for you and take care of you!

photographer. They are true professionals and made sure we were happy throughout the process.
