Gabriel Conover Photography

wedding that was supposed to be in November. With less than 2 months before our wedding date, our venue had to postpone our original wedding date. I reached out to Gabe who was incredibly patient and understanding as our plans were continually changing. We eventually had a plan and decided to elope with our immediate families and bridal party at Crystal Cove State Park on the original date. On the day of the elopement, it was one of the windiest days of the year with gusts of wind upward of 30-35 mph. Gabe continued to roll with the punches and captured absolutely stunning and amazing work using the wind so creatively. He truly is an artist, and he cares so much for his clients. His warm personality makes you feel like you've known him for decades. He is incredibly professional, detail oriented and great at communication. We can't wait to work with Gabe again for our postponed larger wedding in July! Honestly, if you're considering booking Gabe, don't even question it. You will not be sorry, and you will not only have photo memories to last a lifetime, but make a cool friend in the process! Thanks Gabe for all you do! Kaitlyn and Corey Ellison

intment came - I was 4 months pregnant😍😱, elopement got swapped with maternity shoot :) So don’t wait, book session with GABE right now!!!!!!! Also when finally appointment day came - of course since the morning weather was terrible...the plan was to shoot in the sunset. I was sure we would have to cancel as the shoot was outside, Gabe called me, cheered me up and we’ve decided to give it a try...you not going to believe but just during that hour when we were shooting - clouds cleared and sun came out, so we had magical light! Right in the end of the session-it’s started raining again....seriously? apart from being an amazing photographer, Gabe has some super power I guess😃! I also want to mention how professional he is, prior the session we’ve got detailed guide how to get dressed and also questionario where we could explain what we actually lookin for by doing this set. The result was so much better what we expected! Gabe has some magical skills as he immediately made us both comfortable in front of the camera, kept it all very natural as we didn’t want to pose too much. I feel bad that it took me so long to write a review...but now holding our newborn daughter and going through those beautiful moments captured by Gabriel, we can’t thank him enough💙💙💙 Grazie mille Gabe! We can’t wait to be back to SD and work with you again😍 Marina & Filippo

ride or die. He was so go with the flow with all of the last minute changes, even on the day of. We ended up eloping with 4 close friends and you would have thought Gabe was just part of our crew -- he fits in with anywhere, with anyone, while still standing out. He made us feel so comfortable and unposed which is exactly what we wanted. Not only was he the perfect addition to our wedding day, he went above and beyond and let us borrow a ring for my husband (I told you there were some last minute things, ha) and drove us back to out airbnb after the ceremony when Ubers were nowhere to be found... oh and he also kept our wallet safe after we then left it in his car during the said ride. I could honestly type an entire novel about why you should hire Gabe but you'll just have to take me and all the other 5 star ratings as facts. I can't wait for him to shoot our next life adventures!

ot or with the whole family during the wedding. Neither of us are used to taking pictures and it was our first time doing a photoshoot together, but Gabe helped us to keep moving and chose "poses" that looked very natural. None of our pictures look stiff or forced. He truly captured the full essence of our amazing day and added his own special artistic style to make it perfect! The only problem now is selecting favorites to print for an album. Thank you sooo much Gabe!

forest with trees, by the lake, meadow etc.). On top of that, he was extremely timely with getting pictures back. We had so many great pics from this shoot. Gabriel goes above and beyond and brings energy and positivity which adds to the overall experience. Can’t wait to see what he does at our wedding next year!

res for ourselves we took it, and I am so glad we did. The experience was amazing, and the pictures are even better. I will seriously treasure his work for years to come! He is TRULY an artist and goes beyond what he is required to do as a photographer! Just a note, this man said I would be getting 30-40 pictures and sent me 108!! Like are you joking. Literally sent three times more photos than expected. Thats how great Gabe is. So whatever your event might be, book Gabe! You will 1000000% regret it if you dont.

, joy, and personality! My husband despises pictures (LOL), but he looked amazing in them because Gabe made it so much fun!

as super quick too! He is everything you want in a wedding photographer; creative, visionary, makes you feel so comfortable, directive, etc. We can't sing his praises more. You know he's an ace when he stays for 2 extra hours past his contract, puts down his camera and dances with your guests. Like come on!? Gabe is hope for humanity.

nted photos that would be dreamy, relaxed and representative of who we are as a couple. Gabe nailed that and more! I've known Gabe for a few years and have been itching to have photos done by him... so we were stoked when our schedules aligned to make these photos a reality. He created some of my favorite photos of us that I can't wait to print for our home. On top of being a brilliant artist, he is super communicative, helpful in fleshing out your vision and has the best energy when taking your photos. Highly recommend hiring Gabe for absolutely anything!

ng and professional, gently coaching you into beautiful photographs that you will treasure forever. After our amazing engagement shoot, we knew our wedding photos would be the least stressful part of our day. Gabe has everything in his head and he takes care of you. When he offers ideas for photos or locations, he also listens and is very flexible. We honestly only have wonderful things to say about Gabe and we hope to take another road trip with him soon!

to spend the money on photos, let me tell you, he and the photos are worth every penny! My husband and I first worked with him during our complimentary engagement shoot. We were a little nervous that it would be awkward and we wouldn't know how to pose. Gabe was so friendly, energetic, and outgoing! At no point did we feel awkward and he gave the perfect amount of guidance so we would have perfect photos. We had mentioned we met at a music festival and at one point, Gabe even played music from one of our favorite artists. We had so much fun and it made us so excited for him to shoot our wedding. On top of that, I was absolutely thrilled with how the pictures came out. Due to the pandemic, we had to change our wedding date multiple times. Gabe was so flexible with all of the changes. We ultimately decided we would do a very small, intimate ceremony this year and push off our big event to next year. Gabe offered to set up a phone call with me to help plan the smaller ceremony. Like seriously, he is the nicest guy! We ended up hiring him to shoot our small ceremony as well and once again we were ecstatic with how the pictures turned out. He also gets bonus points for being so patient as we figured out how to get COVID safe photos with some of our immediate family members. I am so excited that we will get to work with him for a third time when we celebrate with all of our family and friends. I promise you will have zero regrets if you choose him as your photographer!

room of that wedding got their photos back and we were sitting in the bar in October and we remember looking through them thinking "WOW we most likely won't find a photographer with this much talent, quirkiness and authenticity all in one" (Our wedding was suppose to be in NJ) We literally felt allll the emotion in all their pictures, practically making us feel like we had attended the wedding. Their pictures were genuine, beautiful and incredibly captured. Fast forward a couple months to April when my Jeremy and I made the tough decision to cancel our wedding due to COVID. We both just moved to San Diego due to his orders and still wanted to get married with just the two of us on our special day. I had reached out to Gabe to see if he would be available to photograph our ceremony and his timely response had me shocked! We quickly connected via phone and I felt like I had known Gabe for years. He is extremely personable, hilarious and comforting. I, not only, appreciated his eagerness to learn about us as a couple and as individuals but how he acknowledged all couples are different. I remember him talking about his job being special because he has the opportunity to meet couples from all different backgrounds, ethnicities, environments, etc. And this resonated with me-- to have someone truly appreciate and respect your love for what it is. Our decision was so simple in regard to hiring him and we didn't even think twice. The night of our wedding, we met Gabe at the sunset cliffs in San Diego and instantly connected with him. Jeremy and I had never been photographed before but Gabe made us feel right at home. He was full of laughter, stories, suggestions and ideas. Also side note, during this time, Gabe has a newborn at home and JUST MOVED into a new home with his beautiful children and wife! He really does it all. This was the best night of our lives. We had so much fun and our wedding ceremony was truly magical. Gabe had me laughing so hard I was snorting. He guided us (which the good Lord knows we needed it the first 10 minutes) but at the same time gave us the space to connect naturally. He got us our sneak peeks within 2 days and our entire gallery in less than 2 weeks. YOU GUYS.. when I say we are speechless because of these pictures, we are speechless. Our family and friends felt like they were there with us (which was HUGE for us since they couldn't physically be there) They are emotion-filled and so wonderfully captured. I am already planning on ways to hang them around our home. Don't think twice about hiring Gabe for your special day, wedding, elopement, engagement, whatever it may be. I have and will continue to recommend Gabe in a heartbeat! Gabe-- Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We always say God works in mysterious ways and this is a true testimony to that. We will forever cherish that night, your work and you as a person/photographer/friend! Much love, Logan and Jeremy Keith PS. He also insisted (like 20 times until we finally agreed because he had already done enough) to drive US HOME THE NIGHT OF OUR WEDDING. I mean, come on! Gabe is the best!!!

e beyond what I expected!

bout how wonderful he is and how she is obsessed with him and I was thinking "can a person really leave this much of an impression from just meeting them once?!" Spoiler alert: the answer is YES. When I met Gabe I knew exactly what she meant. He added so much fun to the day that I found myself thinking he was one of our best friends in the bridal party rather than our photographer. He was always right in the middle of the action getting all the perfect shots. And if his personality and his general vibe he brings with him wasn't amazing enough already he also produces the most BEAUTIFUL photos. I got to work with Gabe again for a smaller photoshoot and I cannot emphasize enough how amazing he is. I was laughing literally the entire time. He knows all the good poses, and makes you feel so comfortable while doing them. I received the most amazing photos in such a short amount of time. Gabe is the best!!!

sband and I's engagement shoot, we were both soooo nervous because we've never had professional photos taken of us before. Soon after we met Gabe, he greeted us like we've known each other for years! As soon as we said "hi", we never regretted our decision with choosing him as our photographer. I promise, you will not be disappointed with the photos or Gabe's personality! He's an absolute treasure to be with and now my husband I are lucky to call him a friend. Thank you Gabe for capturing the most important day in my family's life and being a part of it all!!!! We appreciate you SO MUCH!!!

d silence, no overly posed photos, just the best you've ever looked on camera while somehow going about your normal life. I told Gabe before we started, "I don't photograph well, I freeze up." He just kept us talking in conversation and it hardly felt like we were taking photos at all. If our engagement photos are this AMAZING, I can hardly wait to see our wedding photos! (Updated review to come.) I highly recommend Gabe for all your photography needs, I have a feeling he will taking our family photos long into the future as we just can't get enough of his artistic style, photo clarity, and the emotions he is able to capture in a still.

That was how I knew I wanted him to photograph our day. I needed to know that the person who took our photos really captured who we were as people. The photos we received were beyond anything we had ever imagined. Gabe is without a doubt the best photographer we have ever/ will ever know. That fact that he took the time to get to know us as a couple really spoke for itself and meant a lot. We were so comfortable at the first shoot, our engagement, Gabe just brings a great energy and creates a day you’ll never forget! I fully believe that your photographer is one of the most important people of your special day. This is the person that will capture all the sweet moments you probably didn’t even know happen. We couldn’t recommend him enough or even thank him enough for the absolutely beautiful job he did. I can’t wait to show my kids and my grandkids our wedding album on e day and have them be as amazed as we were when we first looked at them. Needless to say if you don’t hire Gabe, you will regret it later. -The Guzman’s

hotographer. My two sister-in-laws also used Gabe as their wedding photographer so I think that means he is officially part of our family! With Gabe at your wedding, it is guaranteed to be an amazing day. From his organization, professionalism, and incredibly cheerful and uplifting attitude you are bound to be put at ease every step of the way so you can fully enjoy your big day! Gabe really is a friend to all and puts even the most stressed-out family members at ease. I had countless friends and family members tell me that a part of my wedding that made it so special was GABE! Gabe has such a skill for making you feel like you don’t have to “put on a show” and encourages you to just be REAL and yourself. This makes a world of difference! If you are considering anyone else to be your wedding photographer STOP NOW! Gabe is your guy and he will not let you down or ever disappoint.

forward to him shooting our engagement shots and he's a combination of his hilarious self mixed in with a total visionary photo god. Half the time we didn't know what to do with our limbs, but Gabe was quick to guide us with total ease while making us feel super comfortable throughout our session. We truly feel in great hands for our upcoming wedding!

Gabe is the type of person that from the moment you meet him, you know he’s going to be your actual friend and do whatever it takes to deliver a stunning product (and make it look so effortless, I might add). Plus, he makes you look like models in every single picture because he is just that talented at his craft. So literally what are you waiting for why haven’t you hired him yet?!?

out our entire wedding. Gabe is fun, crazy, professional, kind, and needs to be your photographer. Trust me, you will not regret it. :)

ram page). Not only does he capture all the feelings, silliness, love, and excitement of your big day, he's literally the most fun to be around. I cannot recommend Gabe enough if you are looking for a photographer for your engagement/elopement/ceremony. He is a total gem and a professional. (literally gives you sneaks super fast so you aren't being a sad panda waiting for your full galleries). Everyone who's seen our photos loves them, and so do we!! Thank you, Gabe for being our photographer!!!

n, funny, and my entire family was obsessed with him! The engagement session was awesome as well, he made us feel so comfortable and got the best, natural shots. If you haven’t hired Gabe yet, hire him now! You seriously won’t regret it :)

th his work. He did both our engagement and wedding and everyone is beyond impressed. His work speaks for itself and then you have his personality, which is an added bonus. He made us feel so comfortable and got my entire family raving about how great he was. He gives fast delivery and responds quicker than any of my other vendors. He guided me through the whole process and even helped create a timeline for all photos. I will miss him and his special laugh the most out of this whole process. You will not regret choosing Gabe.

t I could pick a date that worked for both of us because y’all there is no better wedding photographer than Gabriel Conover! His work is beautiful and every photo we received from our wedding was perfect. I am so glad that we hired him and not only did he do a great job but he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was great at communication, made us feel extremely comfortable and honestly was the life of the party at our wedding! We had so many people rave about how great he was all day and for days after. I am so grateful for you Gabe, thank you again for shooting our wedding and just being the awesome person you are.

o comfortable, gave advice when we needed it, has an amazing eye, captured the most incredible moments of our engagement & wedding, and most importantly: he listened to us!! Day of the wedding we wanted to go to the beach but it was rainy & our planner didn't want me to mess up my dress. I said screw it, I need Gabe's incredible photos so we went and now have THE MOST AMAZING PHOTOS EVER!!! He's a frickin' party and we are having him take photos for us forever. The selfies are pretty killer too. We love you Gabe and you're doing maternity photos in 1,000 years when we have kids!!!! lol PS we got our sneak peeks literally 5 days after the wedding!! so fast!

person to photograph our wedding. We met Gabe face-to-face a couple of months ago for our engagement shoot and within the first couple of minutes of meeting him, it had felt like we had known him for years. He’s so personable! Also, getting your pictures taken is pretty awkward unless your a professional model but Gabe made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. In the end, our engagement photos turned out stunning and we are so excited that Gabe will be shooting our wedding in July 2020!

and cannot stop looking at them. They are truly a gift! Gabe was not just a photographer on our wedding day, he was a FRIEND! He made us feel at ease and is the kind of guy you WANT on your wedding. He has so much energy that it's contagious and overall you are just having fun taking photos with Gabe. I cannot express enough how talented this man's work is and just the fact that you want him on your wedding dream team. Love you Gabe and thank you for gifting us with these beautiful photos of our wedding day!

BEST THERE IS! Book him now!

ey were blown away! Gabe is super responsive, puts you at ease and is above all else a genuinely talented artist. I will be recommending him to literally everyone I can. He is so talented he got our little backyard wedding featured in a wedding blog! He was out with us on the dance floor Having a blast and made me and my very shy husband feel comfortable in the intimate moments. Gabe is awesome! Gabe is the best! Forget anyone else.

tressful time, Gabe was able to bring enjoyment and light to every situation. His creativity and passion for what he does truly makes him one of a kind! He is extremely flexible, especially on the wedding day, which was super comforting to me and my husband. We are saddened that our wedding is over because we don’t get to see too much of him but we are grateful for his friendship and love. We can’t wait for round two at my sister’s wedding next October!

nt above and beyond to make you feel comfortable taking pictures. I cannot recommend Gabe enough to capture all the amazing moments on your wedding day. If you are getting engaged or married PLEASE let Gabe capture the moment for you!

ng out in dance party and enjoying that just married bliss when Gabe was around. Gabe also has a great personality with a contagious laugh, he managed to become besties with my sister (MOH) and my mom is ready to invite him over for thanksgiving. He is incredibly outgoing and made the photo process fun and exciting. Oh, and the photos... wow the photos, they're the best i've ever had!! I am looking forward to our next big life event to have Gabe there to capture it!!

vendor. We first met him in Big Bear for our engagement pictures. He brought his wife, who is extremely sweet, and we met for some burgers & beers before the shoot. Haden and I felt like we were out with friends more than meeting a wedding vendor -we were so relaxed and comfortable with him immediately. We did not feel like we were at a "photo shoot" during the pictures- we were just being ourselves. Gabe has you play some fun games that just makes your best self come out. The whole ride home (AKA 2 hours) we could not stop talking about how great Gabe was and how awesome our wedding will be. Our wedding day was so magical and we were so happy to have Gabe capture every second of it. We both had nerves that day, but Gabe made sure to help us both feel at ease and feel like ourselves. Almost every single person at our wedding knew Gabe by name after the wedding. The pictures were more than we ever imagined-even though we knew his work we couldn't believe how great they were! We loved every second of working with Gabe, and know our wedding experience would have been completely different without him.

ng. Gabe’s work speaks for itself, and his breathtaking portfolio’s caught our attention right away. We contacted him to discuss a contract, and he immediately requested a time for a call or a FaceTime. He was the first vendor we spoke with in the wedding planning process, and he helped us so much. His first request was to hear our story - how we met, when we got engaged, etc. He had a true interest in getting to know us as people, and made planning our wedding from across the country so much easier. He told us exactly what he needed from us, and helped a ton in building the schedule for the wedding day. He told our wedding party (and us) exactly what photos he needed, and handled our families perfectly. He spent time with the venue beforehand, so he knew exactly where to shoot and how, and caught some amazing sunset photos during the reception as well. AND he was out there on the dance floor with us all, absolutely cutting up the rug while catching some awesome photos. Gabe was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and more. He made our day and our lives so much easier, fully bought in to our wedding, our story, and our families, and took INCREDIBLE photos of our wedding day. We fully recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, and if we ever need a professional photographer’s expertise in SD again we will 100% be asking him!

ented! When things didn’t go exactly as planned on our wedding day (big surprise), he reassured me that everything would be fine and we would still be able to get all the photos I had wanted. He brought so much positive energy to such a stressful and hectic day. And it didn’t feel like he was just our photographer, but someone on our side who would help make sure our day went as smoothly as possible. Long story short, we got our wedding photos and they are absolutely AMAZING! He did such a good job capturing our day, not to mention how comfortable and at ease he made the guests feel as well. Thank you so much Gabe! You will definitely be our first call for any anniversary photos in the future :)

rson for our engagement shoot, we didn’t know what to expect (I myself am a photographer and I’m usually on the opposite side of the camera, so I was worried we would feel awkward or look stiff) , but we had A BLAST and felt so comfortable with him! Every. Single. One. Of our photos is stunning and he totally captured our relationship and emotions so authentically. Our wedding day was no different! Gabe captured everything so beautifully and we didn’t have to worry about anything! We can’t get over how amazing all of our pictures are and everyone who sees them keeps raving to us about them too! Seriously, if you’re considering booking Gabe for your big day, DO NOT HESITATE. GO BOOK HIM RIGHT NOW!! I cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you so much for everything!

erent when you’re shooting for your very own engagement photos! Gabe made sure we had fun, laughed A LOT and got every shot that was important to us. I’ve never worked with a photographer that made the process so EASY. After working with Gabe, you’ll want him to capture all of your major milestones! I could not be happier with my engagement photos and I am completely elated for our wedding photos!

love for life is contagious and his passion for photography is evident through his work (I mean look at all the gorgeous photos!!!!) We first met Gabe during our engagement shoot. My fiance and I were both so nervous, but Gage immediately made us feel at ease. We had a BLAST during our photo shoot! He had us laughing nonstop and made the entire experience so enjoyable! We really were on cloud nine for weeks! By the end of the night Gabe was a friend and we are so looking forward to hanging out with him again during our wedding! He sent us previews just a few days later and then the rest of the photos within 2 weeks; they were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We are so happy that we choose Gabe as our wedding photographer! Look no further, gabe is the best of the best and I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!!!! POST WEDDING REVIEW: Gabe is extraordinary in everything he does!! His work is so beautiful and he is able to capture every emotion in his photos! He truly has a gift. Gabe was our photographer for our wedding this September and we had an even better experience than we could have ever imagined!! He is not only an amazing photographer, but has the kindest heart and positive energy that fills the room! He has a way of making everyone feel at ease which comes across in all of the photos. Every one of our guests commented on how awesome he was!!! He was even part of the dance party and truly was the life of the party!! He sent us our preview photos within one week of our wedding and each and every one was so beautiful!! We are so thankful to have these memories for a lifetime. Hiring Gabe as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made and we cannot thank him enough for being a part of our day and making it so special!!

when it came to our engagement shoot, shout out again for that hot mess lol! He shot our photos so fast because the lighting was disappearing, but he sent us so many good pictures to choose from! When it came to the wedding he was always checking in before to see how we were doing and get any updates he needed to know of. He was so thorough up until the wedding, during the wedding, and after! Day of, oh my goodness, he was flexible, happy, fun, and an amazing person to have around! He also had to function a 26 person bridal party and he was so successful, every photo was PERFECT and captured every personality! He went along with the problems of a wedding day, he never had a negative thing to say, even if I was lol! Gabe is also a free hype man. He will get the party started! Everyone at our wedding commented on how awesome our photographer was, and how he had better hair then all of them! I recommend Gabe 1 million %! He will not let you down, I swear! We go way back and I’d tell you if he wasn’t good ;) book him!!!!

(the good kind) and puts you at ease. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken before (aside from business reasons) and we were extremely nervous for our engagement shoot. We had no idea what was in store for us but it ended up being the most awesome experience ever. Gabe never made it awkward, always had us belly laughing and captured us in our true forms. It was magical. We booked him for our wedding and at that point, we were just excited to hang out with him again. We got our sneak peak photos from the wedding DAYS after our wedding and it made us ugly cry of happiness. There aren’t enough words to describe how much we adore Gabe and his vision. Just book him, I don’t know what you’re waiting for.

ce people. Flash forward to when Gabe started sharing his photography skills on social media, I was immediately drawn to his photos! I always secretly wanted him to ask me to model for a shoot. Well, little did I know, four years later he would be shooting my engagement/wedding photos !!! Now I am 100% serious when I planned my wedding around Gabe's availability, before I was even engaged. He posted that 2019 was filling up so I asked him what he had open in the spring, and then March 23rd it was. I then told my boyfriend at the time, "we're getting married March 23rd, so propose before then." BEST decision I made, besides to marry Steve, obviously. I was instantly excited and couldnt wait to start planning. I don't think I could've bugged Gabe anymore, what should I wear, where should we take photos, what should I do with my hair? I even made him drive up to carlsbad to scope out photo spots. HE DIDN'T COMPLAIN ONCE. It was like I was texting a best friend. Come the day of my wedding, Gabe started shooting while I was getting ready and stayed until the party was over. He got photos I would've never thought of, and made us feel completely comfortable. I can't even count the number of compliments i've gotten on photos i've shared with family and friends but that's not my favorite part. The best part was how many of my wedding guests told me after the wedding "your photographer was so cool, he looked like he was having so much fun, i thought he was a guest, that guy was amazing" it goes on and on. So I guess to wrap up this essay, Gabe exceded our expectations, and provided us with the most amazing memories that we get to keep and share with our kids forever and ever. If you want to hire a friend, rather than a vendor, hire Gabe!!!!

t time ever with every moment laughing and smiling so effortlessly you don't even feel your jaw starting to tighten up. I'll start the day from the beginning: Gabe came in and immediately started reviewing the space and scoping out potential photos, while I was getting hair and makeup done he took the opportunity to take photos of the dress and small details like jewelry, for me this turns out to be even more important as in the midst of the crazy my grandmother's necklace has gone missing and now those photos are what I will have of it as she passed away earlier the year before and that was my way of keeping her with me. These are details that are important that we ourselves may forget about but Gabe makes sure to capture them for us. From the beginning Gabe kept me laughing and smiling with his genuine sincerity and love for what he does, his energy is infectious and cannot be ignored that everybody picked up on it. He understood the importance of capturing family portraits and in my family's case (multiple of the same picture and pose) and did it without complain or irritation but with the biggest laugh ever! I didn't have to worry that he was capturing the best candid moments while still making sure to get all the best and/or important part of the wedding. Simply put he and his team are amazing and extremely professional, my husband and I got sneak peaks of our wedding only two days later! So I have a whole mini album to gush over until we get the rest of the pictures. And we already know that we will be printing out all of them to put in frames and albums that we will cherish forever. Truly we hit the jackpot with Gabe and intent to hire him again in the future for anniversary shots or in home sessions! Thank you for being so great at what you do! You truly were a big part of making our big day the most best day ever!

d who we are as a couple. From the beginning, you feel as if you've known him forever, and when you first meet him it's as if you're just catching up with an old friend and you're just catching up on all the best and worst moments of life. I never, and I mean never really liked beach photoshoots, I felt that they are cheesy and overdone. A cliche I wanted to avoid at all costs. We've all seen it the cheesy, horribly staged photos you find of couples on the beach. But my fiance wanted to do a shoot in the water, so I reluctantly obliged. Upon Gabe's suggestion, we met to do our Engagement shoot at Torrey Pines. I had never been to this particular part of San Diego before, and although it was breathtakingly beautiful, it was absolutely packed with tourists and locals alike. Amidst all of this, Gabe managed to bring out the most genuine parts of our relationship, the jokes, the laughter, the ugly truly happy smiles you have when you're one hundred percent comfortable. We ended our shoot with him happier than when we arrived, leaving was like saying goodbye to a friend who you couldn't wait to see again. Having promised us photos in two weeks, I was patient but so ecstatic to find out they were ready early! And he did not disappoint. Our photos truly capture us as a couple, our love, and everything in between. The photos are AMAZING and it looks like we were the only ones on a beautiful sunny day (remember I mentioned that beach was PACKED). Gabe's laughter and personality is infectious and If what you want is someone who has a genuine passion and impeccable eye for capturing love, then you want Gabe. He will not disappoint. He is not your average photographer by any means and we cannot wait to have him share our wedding day with us!

et me tell you, GABE IS THE BEST. I PROMISE YOU. Just by looking at his pictures, they stand out as so natural, fun, and breathtakingly gorgeous. Once you talk to him or meet him, you immediately feel at ease and like he is an old friend. Taking pictures with him is so much fun and so comfortable! My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with how well both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures turned out. Gabe has surpassed every hope and dream I ever had (and I had a lot of those!) I told my friends that if they all do not hire Gabe for their weddings, I am not going :-) He is unique, talented, and took away all of my worries- he will not disappoint! Engagement Pic Review: So I don’t even know where to start with this review- GABE IS THAT GOOD! The day we booked our venue, we started researching photographers as our first priority, and as soon as we came across Gabe, we knew we HAD to have him do our wedding. Our wedding is not until May, but we just did our engagement pictures with him and could not be happier. My fiancé and I met at a summer camp on Catalina Island when we were kids (and we still go back every year as camp directors), so we wanted to do engagement pictures over there- Gabe could not have been more excited to make the trek with us! We had such a blast hanging out with him all day and taking the pictures. He made the whole process so much fun, and he is so genuine and awesome! After getting our pictures back, the only problem I have with them is that I cannot choose a favorite... I have like 50 favorite pictures and literally cannot stop looking through them again and again and again. He captured the vibe we wanted perfectly. Our pictures look so natural, beautiful, loving, and fun. He gave us great guidance, made us comfortable, and has such an amazing eye for setting up unique photos! They are everything I could’ve ever dreamed of! We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and were so lucky to have Gabe come along to the most important place in the world to us. We can’t wait to have him shoot our wedding! What a huge relief it is to not have to worry about getting great wedding pictures! I have 100% trust in Gabe for our big day next year and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! DO IT NOW, you will be so happy you did!!!

he beach. It wasn’t easy to choose photographer in San Diego area, but we were really lucky with the Gabe, his Instagram profile really touched us and when we saw more of his work we already knew that this is it, this is the guy who needs to be our photographer. What we love most about his work is the way he feels the light, everything looks then so natural. We spend only an hour together, but it was an hour full of positive vibes and energy, Gabe makes sure that you smile a lot. And on top of everything we wrote before, he is so talented, cute, creative and wonderful man who loves who he does ❤️❤️❤️

in laws wedding so when we saw his work we knew we had to have him as our photographer. my Husband hates taking pictures and he had an absolute blast when Gabe took our engagement & wedding pictures. Gabe's work is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and he is just so much fun to be around. It is worth every penny to hire Gabe as your photographer. You will be so happy that you hired the absolute best to capture those special moments.

om people! Normally posing can make people uncomfortable, especially smiling for a whole hour, but not with Gabe!! We are so happy we had Gabe and we will never get over his work!❤️❤️❤️

g married.

comfortable with him and he's great at guiding the full day without stress or making things to hectic. I'm amazed with the pictures I received from Gabe. I woke up with a few sneak peek photos the day after the wedding and a preview of photos one week after the wedding. There are some many things you miss being the bride in a wedding and his work really fills in those gaps for you. In the days after the wedding I wondered if my guests had fun (everyone said they did but you just wonder) .. then I received the full gallery back from Gabe and he captured so many incredible photos --people having a blast, dancing, singing, smiling--- amazing candid photos that I'll cherish forever. He is an outstanding photographer and I would opt to work with him time and time again! Don't hesitate - just book him!

style— which says a lot when you have a fiance that’s particular about photography! Gabe just radiates good vibes and makes you feel comfortable from the get go. He even makes you play fun games during your shoot instead of typical awkward couple poses! Gabe just has this incredible ability to capture raw and real emotion that is clearly reflected in his work. Everyone that has seen our engagement photos comments on how natural and happy we look. He executed our vision exactly as we wanted, if not more. We can’t wait for him to shoot our big day!

ve a response as soon as I did. I just received sneak peek photos from our engagement photo shoot, and I'm in love! My fiance and I are both camera shy, but Gabe is so warm and passionate about what he does, that you won't feel awkward being photographed by a stranger. He's so artistic, and I love the sweet and fun moments he captured. I'm so happy he's going to be a part of our wedding. Thank you so soo much Gabe! :)

us feel right at home and made the experience effortless for us. He knows how to create a space where you feel 100% comfortable, safe and have tons of fun!!!!! His editing is brilliant. He has an eye for so many different styles- from light and airy to moody and dark. Real thing- I tired to convince him to leave a wedding he was already shooting because I wanted him selfishly at mine!!! He didn’t. He’s loyal, which i appreciate. It’s hard to let go of someone when you find an incredible fit. I would 10/10 recommend Gabe to anyone! He is easy to get along with, fun, knows how to create sweet moments and just an all around good dude. You could not go wrong with Gabe, ever!!!

ar and a half out of our wedding and there were never any doubts in his ability. He has a young, fresh take on his craft and he makes each gallery unique. I will encourage and promote this man for any of your photography needs. He is exactly what you’re looking for, and we are beyond grateful to have found him.

arden Wedding, Styled shoot for my floral design company, Little Black Barn Co. Floral Design. I was obsessed with his work, so I reached out and asked him if he would be interested? I was just starting out so I wasn’t sure if he was going to laugh at me and hang up! He not only said yes, but he also believed in my idea and referred amazing vendors that helped me emensly. The collaboration was unbelievable and the shoot was a success!! I can’t thank you enough Gabriel Conover for helping make make my dreams come true in launching my floral design business. Your photos are front and center of my website! They are so stunning!! It was an honor to work with such a talented photographer and awesome human being! The photos Gabriel provided from the shoot were better than I could have ever dreamed! Forever Greatful, Carrie Black Little Black Barn Co. Floral Designer

ptured precious moments of that day that were absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have any type of photos done. You will not only enjoy your photos, but you’ll have a blast getting them done and you’ll gain a friend. Thank you Gabe! Also, my husband would like to add, “God bless America!”

omfortable in front of the camera. Gabe’s positive personality sets him above all the other photographers in San Diego! Thanks Gabe!!!!!

ls. He will make your day so much fun and make you and your lover feel like the most beautiful people ever! I will never stop staring at our wedding photos! THANK YOU GABE WE LOVE YOU

guy! Gabe is so kind, welcoming, and completely genuine! My fiancé and I are both shy and awkward in front of a camera, But working with Gabe was like hanging out with a long lost best friend. We felt so comfortable with him! When he sent over our sneak peaks from our engagement session, I just about lost it with emotions. He captured our love, our personalities, and US as a couple in every photo. Our photos are the upmost important detail of our wedding journey, and we are so incredibly happy that Gabe will forever be apart of that.

el comfortable leading to photos that showcased our personalities and love for each other. Gabe was born to do this! He has the eye for amazing shots, is extremely personable, delivers hundreds of breathtaking photos, and makes everyone from MOB to groomsmen laugh! Our engagement and wedding photos will be our most treasured photos for the rest of our life! Do yourself a favor and invest in Gabe's services! That decision you will be grateful for years and years to come!

n quick notice for a short elopement session and still treated us as though we were important clients. He used his talents to best capture how we wanted to be remembered on this day. I cannot recommend his services highly enough!

rtable and makes the entire experience enjoyable (even for those who don’t like being in front of a camera like me and my husband). He was able to capture every moment we wanted, plus some, and still gave us time to enjoy the company of all our guests! Bottom line, you will not be disappointed by hiring Gabe, which is exactly what you want to hear when you’re hiring someone to capture the most important day of your lives! Gabe really knows his stuff, but most importantly he does his job gracefully, enthusiastically and intentionally. Thank you for everything Gabe!!

photos turned out truly magical and I could not be more excited! He did such an incredible job capturing every beautiful moment throughout our special day! But besides being an amazing photographer/ editor, the thing that truly sets Gabe apart is his ability to bring joy and laughter to any situation. He does such a good job making you not only feel comfortable but adding such a joyful presence to such a happy day! He helps create such real emotion which is captured in his photos! I would HIGHLY recommend Gabe to anyone who is recently engaged or getting married! He was such a blessing to work with and such a genuine human being!

ra is intimidating. Gabe made the shoot so incredibly fun and literally every photo in our gallery is a favorite!

was able to put our minds at ease through his spirited and lively personality. Gabe was especially talented at taking our ideas, recreating them in his own vision but at the same time never deviating too far from what we wanted. Gabe also went above and beyond our requests as well. As an example, we found a tree via social media that we thought would be perfect for a handful of pictures and sent it to Gabe to see if he knew anything about the location. Turns out he didn’t know where it was located but he spent his entire day leading up to the shoot trying to find it and ultimately did find it to our surprise. This was completely unexpected and not our intent when we asked him if knew the location of the tree. He exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the right photographer to make the most of a special day.

ly! Hands down he was the most important piece to our wedding for more than a few reasons. His vision set the tone for wedding and gave us direction throughout the day; we used a day-of wedding coordinator but Gabe structured the day so we never felt rushed or like we were missing our wedding. He is incredibly efficient because he planned and did his legwork beforehand, but he is definitely able to adjust on the fly to find the perfect shot. The research/prep he did so that we would have beach shots at low tide at sunset that looked like we were the only people there (we definitely weren't) was phenomenal. We sent him ideas beforehand and worked on a general theme, but his eye put everything together. The editing he did after tied all our photos in to the soft color scheme of our flowers and the late evening San Diego sunset. Beyond his brilliant photography skills and planning/organizing abilities, Gabe is a beautiful person. His optimism and laugh is infectious, and your photo shoot is going to reflect his humor and grace. He helps you remember why you wanted photos of that life event in the first place. Gabe has the intangible spirit you hope a photographer has, and he does it all while shepherding you through a process you may never have been through before. You're in the best hands if Gabe's around--we would've needed him at our wedding as a guest if he wasn't our photographer!

is how fun he makes each shoot. His way of engaging everyone there, including crying children, stressed out family members, and overexcited groomsmen, brings everyone together for the perfect shot. He's captured moments in my life that I didn't even know I would never want to forget. I would choose him 11/10 times to shoot anything for me and I always highly recommend him to everyone I know (and to anyone reading this)!

STAT. Just looking at a few of the pictures he has photographed, I knew I would enjoy these pictures for years to come. Meeting Gabe is comparable to meeting with an old friend you've known forever. He immediately makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera! His personality is just the best and made the whole shoot so enjoyable. We just got our pictures today and I cannot rave about them enough. In such a short amount of time he was able to utilize the time we had to get the most beautiful shots. Pictures are timeless and should definitely be one investment you don't want to regret. You will NOT regret booking Gabe!

were slightly intimidated by the whole process. Gabe literally made it seem like we were going on a walk through the wilderness. He is so in his element and the whole evening just flowed. My fiancé who hates having his picture taken could not stop talking about how awesome the session was. Fast forward two weeks and we just received our photos... how many save the dates are acceptable to send out because I can't choose 1 photo.... SERIOUSLY! He nailed it. We will cherish these photos and memories of the day forever. We can't wait for the wedding! GO BOOK GABE! Hurry. Go now. Stop Reading. EDITED Post wedding: All still remains true and Gabe is the best!!! Go check his IG if you want inspo on his style and then go book. All of our wedding guests commented on how fun and awesome Gabe was on the day of the wedding. he dances the night away and creates these beautiful images effortlessly. He's incredible and talented! Go book Gabe. GO, now. Thank you for everything Gabe!
