Gabriella Marie Photography

video calls to driving over an hour to the beach to shoot our special day. Gabriella exceeded all of my expectations and we cant wait to book her for our wedding! Thank you so much for everything, you really made our day so fun and now we have so many great photos to remember how special it was. If you are looking for someone fun who does amazing work and is passionate about what they do, contact Gabriella!

r day. She brings a lighthearted and warm energy to every space she’s in and is extremely professional and responsive throughout the wedding planning process. From video calls, to coffee planning sessions, to engagement photos, to our big day, she made us feel comfortable and excited. Every photo we received from Gabriella was perfect, from detail shots to photos of us with our large family and little nieces and nephews. We are SO happy to have chosen Gabriella and will forever recommend her to everyone!

candid moments as well as pose us in ways that reflected the love and beauty of the special days, and she absolutely exceeded those expectations. She catered to us extremely well in the posed photos and captured the candid moments without distracting us from being present in the moment. She also did an incredible job editing the photos, and every picture we received has better quality than any photographer I’ve ever worked with. Highly highly recommend!

e the process seamless!! She gave us a timeline within minutes of planning which helped the entire wedding planning process! Not only did our pictures turn out even better than we thought, she was so pleasant and helpful to work with! Do yourself a favor and book Gabriella!!

n't thought of yet. For planning a surprise engagement you want someone that will help you brainstorm and make sure that every detail is captured the way that you are envisioning and Gabriella is just that. If you are in the Philly area or East Cost in general I can't recommend her work enough.

Gabriella take photos of our puppy a few years ago and knew after that session that we would definitely request her take our wedding photos! Not only that, we had Gabriella do an engagement shoot for us and the photos were my absolute favorite of my husband and I (before we got married of course!) I’ve never been very confident in front of the camera, but Gabriella is the hype girl you need to make being in front of the camera so much fun! I love how happy I look in all of my photos and I didn’t once think about how I looked while the photos were being taken. Gabriella works her magic to make sure she’s getting the perfect shot every time! She’s amazing at helping with poses (something my husband and I definitely needed help with!) and the shots that she helped get us positioned in were my favorite shots! She has an eye for creating the perfect picture every time! Gabriella absolutely exceeded my expectations on how quickly she sent out sneak peek photos. Within just a few days of the wedding, I received a bunch of ceremony, portrait, and reception photos from Gabriella! Her turnaround time to send out a full gallery is very reasonable. I can’t recommend Gabriella enough! She is so talented and passionate about her job and makes the most memorable days of your life that much better!

mall details and intimate moments in a way that we could look back on our day and feel like we are reliving it. Well, Gabriella’s work does just that. She exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our gallery. She gave updates and clear expectations along the way so that we were never left wondering what next steps were, and was timely with getting sneak peaks and the full gallery back to us. We are an introverted couple who is not used to being in front of the camera, and Gabriella was super patient and made us feel at ease throughout the whole day. Her communication style is to be seriously commended. She also went above and beyond to scope out of the venue and found the perfect spot for us to do our private vows in. We don’t have a single negative thing to say about our experience. If you are considering working with Gabriella for your special day, do it!!

ographers, and what won us over with Gabriella was not only her gorgeous work and skillset, but also her organization and her ability to be a ray of sunshine with a calm presence. I knew I needed someone who was super positive but not overwhelming on my wedding day, and it was a perfect fit. We did our engagement shoot with Gabriella as well, and both then and the wedding day she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband absolutely hates getting his picture taken, and he was totally at ease the whole time! On the wedding day while we were eating dinner, we couldn’t stop talking about how easy she made the entire day go. Not to mention, our gallery is absolutely STUNNING and exactly what I dreamed of. We cannot recommend Gabriella enough, you will not regret it!

ble to establish a wonderful relationship with Gabriella as she did our engagement photos (which were STUNNING) and helped us with all things planning for the wedding! Gabriella was so helpful in creating the timeline for our wedding, sharing vendor recommendations, and honestly just overall calming any nerves we had leading up to the wedding! Gabriella goes above and beyond her job as a photographer. When she first photographed my best friend’s wedding, Gabriella actually helped myself and the other bridesmaids with getting dressed/last minute touch ups. Gabriella and I also had bonded about our love of all things Taylor Swift. When she shot our engagement photos, Gabriella blasted Taylor the entire time to help us feel even more comfortable behind the camera! Unfortunately, my wife broke her ankle badly right before the wedding, and was in a boot and on a scooter on the day of. Not only did Gabriella adapt, she also offered a complimentary session once my wife is healed! On the wedding day, Gabriella and her team were so supportive and flexible given my wife’s injury and her ability to take photos. They literally carried her scooter on a golf cart across the venue grounds so we could get ~the shot~! Just a couple examples of how above and beyond she and her team went throughout our entire experience working with her. On our wedding day, we were honestly as excited to see Gabriella as we were our guests- she felt like a friend at that point, and she gives off the kindest, warmest and most positive vibe. Her team on the day of was wonderful- Gabriella, Sarah, and Sam documented the day so beautifully and were prepared and calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire day! Our package included mobile videos taken throughout the day which were SO perfect to document little moments and look back on and share with friends and family! We also have an anniversary session with Gabriella included with we are so excited about!! We have and will continue to recommend Gabriella to anyone and everyone!

nt. We're so lucky to have such a talented photographer for our special days. We can't thank her enough for working with us and capturing our moments. She blew us out of the water with the photos. Amazing person and amazing work!

sion. My fiancé (now husband!) photographs as a hobby and asked a few photographers about appature and the kind of lenses they used. Some didn’t love that. Not only did Gabriella answer my inquisitive fiancé eloquently, she listened to everything we had in mind for the day, and brought more fresh thinking to the table. Gabriella offered suggestions to ensure the day went smoothly and even helped create special moments between the two of us. For example, it was her idea for us to read letters aloud to one another during bride & groom portraits, which proved to be a really memorable part of our day. After we initially spoke to Gabriella, she created a detailed timeline. But she didn’t stop there - she went through and made adjustments often to ensure it always reflected our latest plans. Come wedding day, Gabriella was cool, calm and collected. I fall into the Type A Bride category and together with my husband, we fall into the Uncomfortable in Front of a Camera category, but Gabriella made us and our family feel at ease all day long. We only received our “sneak peeks” thus far, but her photos are a testament to her attention to detail, artistic vision and poised disposition. We can’t wait to see the rest, and can’t recommend Gabriella enough.

odating in terms of the types of shots/events we were looking for her to shoot. She was at the rehearsal dinner, getting ready morning, first-look, ceremony and reception and from what we've seen of the photos so far absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was extremely professional in how she was able to work with and coordinate our wedding planner, was very good about planning out the shots ahead of time (shot lists, made sure we had sunset photos, etc.), and was also extremely fun and spontaneous during our shoots and made it feel so so natural. I could not recommend her more highly, and would suggest anyone look into booking her NOW!

me and time again that we were right. From our first zoom call to our finished gallery, she was a joy to work with. She made everything so easy, from questionnaires to our engagement shoot. She made our wedding day feel effortless. We were both worried about being awkward in front of a camera, but she gave lots of wonderful prompts and little games that were easy and fun for us to do, and left us with stunning pictures we were in absolute awe of. Gabriella does everything with such a personalized touch, which really made us feel special. On your big day, she is not just your photographer, she is your biggest fan and the best hype girl you could hope for, and she was willing to help with any aspect of your day, not just pictures. Need a hairpin tucked? Gabriella's got you. Looking for a guest? She is on it! Did you miss the milkshake shots as they went by? Gabby's got your back! From start to finish, Gabriella and her team really were more than we could have ever imagined. Big shoutout to Connie and Sam! Thank you for everything <3

her for my wedding photos and I am beyond thrilled with the experience and the results. She has vision and creates beautiful photos! My husband is shy and said that at times he forgot he was taking photos, Gabriella made us feel so comfortable and confident and helped us pose when we needed more instruction. Gabriella is also a wonderful communicator, I am from out of town and Gabriella made communication clear and effective. She also goes above and beyond when sending recommendations for vendors and checking in as frequently as a couple needs. 11/10 highly recommend!

nal and organized, and she seemed genuinely excited to work with us. We always felt like she had as much time available for us as we needed, even though we know she is actually very busy. We were worried that we would feel awkward in front of the camera and that it would show in our pictures. But, Gabriella guided us through exactly what to do and made us feel comfortable and natural. On the wedding day itself, Gabriella was great at keeping us on schedule without us needing to worry about keeping track of the time at all. She was also flexible and able to make things work with dicey weather; when it started raining during our couple’s portraits on our wedding day, she quickly switched over to family photos in a covered area so that we would have time to go back outside for couple’s portraits again when the rain let up. Since neither of us post on social media often, we wanted to keep some photos private. Gabriella was great about making sure we were comfortable with anything she was going to post before she did it. On top of all of that, we LOVE our pictures and have gotten so many compliments on them. We would choose Gabriella again in a heartbeat and will be recommending her to all of our friends!

r day moving and made it so easy for us. We received our sneak peek photos in ~three days and they were just phenomenal — we BOTH teared up just looking at them. Not only was the quality incredible, but the moments captured are now forever memorialized!! If you're thinking about going with Gabriella for any type of photo coverage, I would recommend her over and over again. SO worth it.

uestionnaire and knew exactly which “staged” photos we wanted to get and how the rest of the evening was to go. She was right on time and cheerful and bright. Her website was super easy to work with too. It kept me organized. I heard of her through my friend who got married over the summer. When I saw those photos, I was thrilled that she agreed to come to Brooklyn to be a part of my celebration. Lastly, and, I suppose most importantly, the photos were absolutely stunning. I can’t express how completely satisfied I am with my experience with Gabriella. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

the camera since we'd never had professional photos done before, but Gabriella put us both at ease and the photos she shared back with us during our sneak peak really captured the joy and excitement we felt on the day of the wedding which is exactly what we were looking for. 10/10 would recommend Gabriella!!

rganized, appropriately communicative and just a pleasure to work with.

r. Both experiences were excellent and from the start. Gabriella was professional, organized, timely and enthusiastic. She provided us with suggestions and her professional expertise throughout the process and really kept our priorities at the forefront of the timeline (i.e. beautiful, fun photos while maximizing time with each other and our guests). On wedding day, Gabriella was organized, helpful and made me (the bride) feel calm and comfortable with how the timeline was moving. She did a great job wrangling our large families and bridal party for group photos and got our bridal party photos done in record time! Our portraits were beautiful and also done quickly which was important to us to be able to attend cocktail hour with our guests. After the wedding, Gabriella got our sneak peeks to us within three days of the wedding which was amazing and we (and everyone we show) are absolutely in love with the photos. Not only is Gabriella an extremely professional and talented photographer, she is first and foremost an incredibly kind and awesome human being. I had been in 9 weddings prior to my own and knew that I wanted our photographer to be someone that had not only great work, but a great personality as well. Gabriella was excited about our wedding from day one and even sent us an introductory gift when we signed on with her. She made us feel both calm and excited throughout the process and it felt like talking to a friend when planning with her. After the wedding, we had several comments from both our parents and bridal party about how wonderful the photos were and how kind and great Gabriella was on the day of. Direct quote from a bridesmaid: "These photos are gorgeous and she was also SO NICE- you found a gem!" So, if you are looking for a "gem" of a photographer, look no further than Gabriella!

comfortable and confident while taking photos made this experience so worth it. Highly recommend!

o communication, and makes the photoshoot feel fun and comfortable. The whole experience was better than I could have hoped for!

comfortable and at ease as we embarked on wedding planning. We were looking for someone who would make us feel comfortable in front of the camera all day and who would elevate our pictures from stiff posed wedding photos. All I had to do was show her some inspiration photos and she took it from there! She absolutely exceeded our expectations and I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her joyful yet calming presence. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be hiring her for all my special moments to come!

ing day she was everywhere, photographing each important moment as it happened - sometimes without us even noticing. In the lead up to the wedding she was great with communication and providing tips and resources. She is so sweet, helpful, and a joy to work with! We can't recommend her enough.

ative and responsive. She was able to handle a 300 person wedding with ease and always got the shot. I've only seen the sneak peek from our wedding weekend but I am already in love with the pictures. She truly captured the joy and happiness of the weekend through her photos, which I will treasure forever. She is also just a genuinely kind person, which makes working with her even better :) Highly recommend.

an and capture the perfect surprise. We will certainly be using Gabriella in the future!

is super friendly, helpful and attentive to details. She captured such amazing photos, we were both obsessed the moment we saw our sneak peeks! Ryan and I were both stressing trying to find a spot for photos. Our wedding was in Florida and although Gabriella is not from here, she went ahead and scoped out the place we had in mind. We cannot thank her enough for capturing such breath taking photos that we can’t wait to share with everyone!

n surrounding our celebration. Gabriella did just this and more! From our first phone call with her, she offered so much enthusiastic inspiration and guidance, which was crucial as we planned a backyard wedding without the help of a wedding planner. Her advice not only helped us create a Pinterest-worthy vision for our wedding day, but also helped us establish a structured timeline for the day itself, which helped to coordinate our other vendors. When it came down to the day itself, Gabriella made it a dream. She was organized, energetic, and so much fun to work with. She made us feel so comfortable behind the camera and also made our wedding party and guests feel involved and excited to be a part of photos. Her careful eye and expertise clearly shows in the photograph gallery that she released to us. The photos are stunningly beautiful, capture our love for nature and the outdoors, and most importantly our love for each other and our friends and family. We cannot recommend Gabriella enough!

lla, we knew we had nothing to worry about. She brings a sense of fun, tranquility and joy to her job making all those around her at ease. She is incredibly thoughtful and truly became our friend on the wedding day! Also, her talent for photography is AMAZING!

mely easy. She really understands your vibe and does everything she can to help make that come true! My husband is extremely camera shy, but he was so comfortable with her and the photos were amazing!

- especially for such a momentous, once in a lifetime, occasion. Thank you Gabriella for all you do and for quickly turning around some sneak peeks so we could relive the happiness from our wedding day!

ing photos, we wanted real photos, not overly edited, too dark or too light and Gabriella’s work caught our eyes. From her angles to the way she captured the beauty in everything she shot. When I kept comparing the work of others to hers, I knew we had to book her for our wedding! From start to finish, Gabriella was so good at making us feel comfortable and natural. I am so thankful we booked the engagement session before the wedding because it gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Gabriella!! Through the planning process, Gabriella was diligent to check in to see if we needed anything and gave super helpful tips. With just a few weeks out, I found myself calling Gabriella once a week with little questions or last minute confirmations. She always met my phone calls with compassion and willingness to answer anything! Now, wedding day!!! Gabriella arrived on time and ready to jump into action! Through the chaos of the day, she worked around everything in the background and introduced herself to everyone. She was totally my calm through the day, I didn’t feel like I needed to know my timeline because I was certain she had it down. Even if things did not go as planned, she kept my priorities at the forefront and never made me worry. She was sure we hit all of our major points of the day. Gabriella was so easy to be comfortable in front of. Some of our most intimate moments, like the first look with my dad and groom, reading our letters, and opening gifts- Gabriella captured them beautifully and gracefully. The entire day, we were able to be completely enamored with one another and did not worry about where our photographers were. They captured beautiful photos without being overbearing or intrusive. Before Gabriella left for the night, she was sure to say goodbye to us as well as both of our parents. It is personal touches like that, that make your photographer. Everyone in the wedding party commented on how great our photographers were. For our engagement photos and our wedding photos, Gabriella went above and beyond with our sneak peaks! She promptly sent us a HUGE gallery, that we fell in love with! It was great to share them immediately with friends and family, and they all drooled over the photos too! Our photos were clearly, unapologetically, us. She enhanced the natural beauty that was around us. Our experience with Gabriella exceeded our hopes and perfectly captured our love.

wing for tons of fun and a laid back feel. She was able to blend in with the crowd in order for the proposal to remain a surprise and captured a special moment so beautifully! Her turnaround on previews and final edits is quick and efficient. We received our sneak peak photos a couple of days after our engagement (which are breathtaking) and we can’t wait to see the finished product in a couple of weeks!!

ng with you well in advance to make sure your photography is exactly the way you want it. She has an amazing eye—you can trust her to get truly beautiful shots if you don’t know what you’re looking for. She is really responsive, so if you have any questions, she’s here for you with a thoughtful answer. She is cheerful and so positive, but extremely professional; so she’s really fun to work with and she does great work. Everyone at my wedding was so impressed with her. She even sent us care packages ahead of our wedding, which made us feel so special. She really cares, and that shows in her work. I cannot recommend her enough! :)

pictures. She was so great with quick responses as well. I would highly recommend!

cause she brought a lot of energy and ideas, and simultaneously was able to blend into the background and let us do our thing while she snapped pics! Gabriella is so excited about her couples and it really shows in her work. We loved our final pictures!

erstand what would be best for us/ our session. During the shoot, she made us feel so comfortable, which brought out the best in us (which is soooo evident in our pictures!!). Overall, Gabriella more than exceeded our expectations- we LOVE our engagement photos!

d her! Out of all of the wonderful vendors that I collaborated with for my wedding, Gabriella sticks out the most. Not only is she fair and willing to work with you on the business deets, but she's also fantastically impressive at her craft and a genuinely awesome human to hang out with (I quite literally keep telling my husband I want her to be my friend). Gabriella is super friendly, extremely helpful, organized, punctual, and calm and attentive when you have those stressful moments. Her ability to capture breathtaking images blows me away - I still can’t wrap my head around how she can take two people who are camera-awkward and create a natural, effortless, beautiful, storytelling photograph. I 1000% recommend Gabriella's services. She does not disappoint and exceeds expectations.

some expert photos that we will cherish for years to come. We cannot recommend her enough!

r us. Our whole day was about fun, family, and friends she fit right in and made sure to capture all of our fun from morning to night! We received our sneak peak the day after the wedding I definitely wasn’t expecting it that fast and our gallery was sent before the six weeks that was in our contract. She was fun and made sure we knew where to look and what she wanted us to do. Very very pleased with her and all of the beautiful photos she took!

oment in a way that makes your heart sing every time you look at them. Second, she is incredibly organized yet go-with-the-flow. She will get to the big day with a detailed timetable and plan, and take care of organizing family members and distractable friends. However, she will also flex with you if you decide to take a break or pick a new, inspired location for some pictures. Finally, she has a super calming and uplifting presence. This is coming not only from me but also my husband, my bridesmaids, and his groomsmen. EVERYONE commented on how calming Gaby was- in charge of the situation when she needed to be but in a super not stressful way. Our entire wedding party loved her and wants to hire her for their future weddings now too. After the wedding day Gaby will send you a small sample gallery so fast it'll blow your socks off, and the images are sure to make you excited to see the rest to come. She also offers an album creation service where she can tailor the images for a specific audience. We are going to get one for each set of parents and one big one for ourselves. The albums is a REALLY nice touch especially for family members who prefer printed media. I cannot recommend Gaby highly enough- 10/10 absolutely would hire her again every single time.

y talented! Our engagement photos we went into with mixed feelings because we aren’t great with having our photos or knowing how to pose. Gabriella made us feel so comfortable, relaxed, and helped us get into the groove of being photographed. She delivered our gallery super quick and we loved every single photo! Fast forward to wedding day and we could wait to work with her again! She kept me calm and relaxed all day made family photos with our large group seamless and everything was right on time with the schedule. She seriously was the most helpful person along the way and was always one email away! We received our sneak peak and when I say I can’t stop looking at the amazing photos she captured of our perfect day! We truly couldn’t have done it without her and we will never be able to thank her enough for being the best! I would seriously recommend her to anyone and everyone!
