Gabrielle Cheikh Photography

5 minutes; I knew that I didn't have to look any further. Going through her portfolio - seeing how dynamic and skillful she was, I knew she was going to great work. I don't normally like to get my picture taken, so when the engagement photo shoot came around I was nervous. Once again, Gaby was able to get me and my fiancee into it with some witty jokes; she really was able to take that "edge" off of being photographed. By the time the wedding came around, I felt like Gaby was a close friend. We joked, and laughed together at the wedding. She has the ability to make you feel truly the important ones on your special day. It's clear by her work, she is a go-to photographer for us and hopefully for brides and grooms looking for that photographer that stands out. Gaby is your girl. Thank you so much for making my wedding day truly one for the books.

earning more about her path and journey as a photographer. She isn't just someone who shows up, snaps a few photos and sends out an invoice. She is so much more than that. I can't begin to describe how awesome she is. She shot my families holiday photo when everyone was in town and make that (normally painful experience) a true treat. Now we have a photo where my brothers aren't making silly faces! Thank you so much Gaby for all of your hard work, dedication to your craft. Can't wait till next year!

expectation. Her ability to capture the beauty and warmth of her subjects in a natural light setting- you will find no better. When it came her to attention to detail and personal touch, she once again exceeded my every checklist box. Experienced, genuine, kind and funny - Gaby is the photographer you should be using for not just weddings, but whatever occasion. I can't wait to work with her again!

ation; we were hooked! Gaby's style was exactly what we envisioned our special day to be and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We will be recommending her and using her throughout our adventures!

k for themselves, and I would hang every single one on my wall tomorrow. They are seriously all that good--amazing, even. 2) She is relaxed and NEVER makes you feel stressed. In fact, the groomsmen even mentioned how "chill" she was and how much they enjoyed taking pictures on wedding day (when have you ever heard that?!). 3) She is the sweetest thing and makes you feel beautiful and comfortable when taking photos (a major plus when your soon-to-be spouse hates taking photos). 4) She is FUN! I had numerous guests tell me that they had never seen a happier or more fun photographer at a wedding--beat that! 5) After I knew that Gaby would photograph my wedding, I could relax completely about the photography, because I knew it would be stellar, and I was right.

ch are SO important!!) and her direction during posed photos is fantastic. She really let us live in the moment on our wedding day, while still capturing gorgeous images. We can't recommend her more highly!

photos again!!

er advice and feedback regarding more than just our photography - she recommended some great vendors for other aspects of the day, helped review our timeline for the ceremony & reception, and more. Her humor and passion for her business made me and my husband feel so comfortable, which showed in the photos she captured. She delivered the finished photos promptly after the wedding, and we really appreciated the fact that she provided both color and black & white versions for every photo. Our wedding would not have been the same without her!

special moments with her incredible style!

came out. From our first intro call, we knew she would be a great fit. She's warm and kind, and made my camera-shy husband feel like he could feel comfortable around her. Throughout the planning process, Gaby gave great advice about how the flow of pictures would work, how to plan the logistics to facilitate easy photo-taking, etc. On the day of our wedding, Gaby and her associate, Stevi were amazing. They were quick and directive (when needed) but also blended so well into the background so my husband and I felt like we had some private moments together. Additionally, we had some transportation/ traffic issues and they both coordinated seamlessly with our wedding planner so that everyone got where they needed to be and we got all of the pictures we wanted. I wasn't involved in the nitty gritty logistics at all and I'm so grateful Gaby and Stevi were there to help. We're still waiting on the full album of pictures (our wedding was just last week!), but the pictures she's shared thus far have been beautiful. I'm so excited to see all of them and I know they'll be amazing.

the sweetest of moments between you and your significant other. She made me feel comfortable and confident in her work! The truth is in the photos. They are spectacular. I HIGHLY recommend working with Gaby.

r work is beautiful.

portraits and the action shots of a party setting until I stumbled upon Gaby's page on the Knot. She has an eye for style and current trends while still staying classic and timeless. On top of being an absolute professional at what she does, she is the sweetest person to work with. My husband and I felt completely at ease with her taking engagement photos which arrived back to us within weeks. We were able to learn from these photos and Gaby's directions on how to relax in front of the camera and show our best selves. Needless to say, the wedding photos turned out stunning! Gaby and the second shooter for the day, Stevi, were always on point throughout the wedding day capturing all the little details and special moments. I was especially impressed with how assertive they were in wrangling my family members together for the group shots which is not an easy task. There are a few vendors I chose for my wedding that I would possibly change after all is said and done; however, I would hire Gabrielle Cheikh Photography over and over a million times. I'm so thankful that Gaby was our photographer for this very special day in my life, and I will cherish the photos that she took of our wedding forever.

ed to just photography but everything from coordination, timelines and postproduction. She’s charming, professional and creative and she’s cool under pressure. She makes those stressful moments melt away and doing it with an amazing smile and great personality. From beginning to the end of this journey Gaby was there every step of the way. You couldn’t ask for someone better to have supporting you. I highly recommend her not just for weddings but for all your photography needs.

lly just a lot of fun. The pictures turned out unbelievable! We can't wait to work with her again for our wedding day! Thank you Gaby for giving us pictures we will cherish forever:)

irst year of life, we are fortunate enough to have Gaby's art throughout our home. She has been so accommodating and inventive in her work with us and her photos of our family exceed our expectations each and every time. Her work truly is in a class of its own, and the icing on the cake is how wonderful she is to work with.

l in her planning, concise in her communication throughout, patient with our big family during photo time, and timely in her delivery. The final product was nothing less than stunning. It was difficult deciding which photos to include in our wedding album because the product she produces is incredible. It was such a pleasure working with the supremely talented Gabrielle Cheikh Photography. I look forward to her capturing our future big days.

ting your picture taken, especially for those natural engagement or family shots, but Gaby is so easy to work with and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She is organized, and as a bride, she kept me calm and took care of everything the day of the wedding with timing, gathering groups for photos, etc. She is amazing and I will recommend her to everyone I know. We love her!

h Gaby Cheikh Photography!!

life. I will no doubt be asking her to take my wedding/engagement pictures someday!!

smile and feel comfortable. She is a joy to work with, hustles for you, provides the right instruction, captures all the right shots, and is worth every penny. Id recommend her for any type of photo for any type of thing. Shes got "it"!

he crazy wedding day. Her photos speak for themselves- we will treasure the memories she captured for the rest of our lives!

t at giving direction, but we were allowed to be ourselves and it never felt forced. It was just fun, which made our day. On the day of the wedding Gaby and her second did a great job organizing photos of our large family and getting ready with her there was so fun too! We couldn't be happier with our final photos! Choosing favorites for printing has been impossible. So grateful to her for helping making our day perfect and capturing perfect moments!

ltiple occasions to make sure she was prepared for our wedding. Not only are the photos beautiful, we felt so comfortable with Gaby because of the time she took prepping. And when wine spilled on my dress, Gaby and her assistant immediately were right there helping me out! It was a rainy day and yet our pictures turned out GORGEOUS thanks to Gaby's genius and artistic eye.

of the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The resulting engagement photos were beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for! Gabrielle has a great eye, and we've received so many compliments from family and friends how unique our photos are and how well they capture our personalities. I know that our wedding photos will be just as wonderful with her behind the camera.

aken aback by how calm she was and thought she needed to bark orders at people because that's what they had experienced in the past. I appreciated her not doing that and instead being confidant in her ability to find the right shots at the right time. When my husband and I took private shots with her, we were worried about feeling awkward posing in front of the camera, but she made it very natural and gave us very simple directions that were easy to follow. The sample of photos we have seen so far have been unbelievable and we cannot wait to see more. She made us look our absolute best. I cannot imagine a better experience and now we will have pictures we will cherish forever.

nning! I would definitely recommend Gaby to anyone, especially if they need someone who can tune into a "different" type of wedding.

planning process. She was not only interested in what we needed for our wedding photography but also about our lives and our love story. She truly captured our love from beginning to end. Her fun loving and professional attitude made her a great fit for our wedding. We will not only be using her for our wedding photos but we plan on using her any time we want professional photos taken in the future. We would recommend any one use Gaby when they want personal and professional attention to their wants well getting the input from Gaby that takes the photos to the next level. We would recommend anyone planning a wedding who wants a fun filled, laid back and professional photographer to call Gaby. You will not regret your decision in the least!

feel so comfortable. We instantly felt at ease due to her professional, laid back and fun personality. It was like spending the day with a good friend! I can't wait to use her services for years to come and will recommend her to all my friends and family! Thanks for everything Gaby!

h was very important for both of us. We cant wait to use her again!!

n and exciting. On our wedding day, she kept to schedule and ensured that all photos we wanted were captured. Gaby's mood simply brightens the room and she is sure to make you and your friends laugh! With Gabrielle Cheikh Photography, you can rest assured that the photographs of the most meaningful day of your life will be captured with class and elegance. Gaby is simply the best! Book her quickly before you miss out on this amazing photographer! p.s. She does more than weddings... so be sure to use her for baby pictures, family photos, professional portraits, engagement pictures, and more!

stens well and offers suggestions, but without being over-bearing. She is very professional, yet super sweet and fun! Her communication with my daughter was always timely. We wanted a second photographer, and her associate was equally good to work with. Before the ceremony, he took the guys and she the gals. Together, during the ceremony, they captured some incredible moments and memories that we will cherish forever. So many great pictures that it has been a hugh challenge to chose which ones to print!She did an especially good job during the reception of capturing the celebration of life, love, family and friendship. She just blended in and did her thing, and the result was a multitude of fantastic photos highlighting a beautiful wedding day and night!! It is very evident how much she cares about her clients and how much she loves what she does. I would highly recommend Gabrielle Cheikh Photography.

. She improvised in a way that I never would have thought about, creating the most beautiful, unique photos of me and my now husband. We love her!

e rest of the photographers. One major thing being that she is a girl. She sees the events in a completely different way. Some of that can be attributed to her personality. There's always that fine line to tread between being professional but letting enough of your personality come through. Gaby has found a way to do that and that's a lot of what sets her apart too. Most people in the world don't like to get super dressed up and/or don't want their pictures taken. Gaby has found a way to be able to make people feel comfortable and have a good time. She's also great about who she picks to have her help with the weddings. The second shooter was a great representation of Gaby also. She let Gaby's ideas flow and wasn't trying to make this her shoot. I've been friends with Gaby for a few years and when my best friend told me he was engaged, I immediately told him to talk to her for the pictures. I knew how insanely cute his wedding would be and I knew that Gaby would be able to make the ideas they had come to life. As the shoot went on I realized how much Gaby does at weddings. There are many behind the scene things that most people don't even notice or think about. Somehow Gaby catches everything. As great as she is with people and taking the photos, she might be better at anticipating challenges that might arise. She came prepared with a huuuuuge tackle box full of items that people could have forgotten. When she got to the venue she immediately started talking to owners of the venue and the bride and groom to set up back up plans just incase the weather didn't hold out(she had the forecast and time remembered). My friends ended up having the most beautiful wedding which can be seen in the photographs. But the memories and fun that were made by Gaby making this a stress free and fun event were just as great.

raphy because Lindsay is familiar with the work Gaby has done taking our family photos, new born pictures, annual birthday pictures, etc. Gaby never fails to please!!! She works extra hard to get to perfect shots and...she is reasonably priced!!! With her quality, it is a bargain at twice the price!

f! She was so personable and friendly and introduced herself to everyone. When the pictures were posted I could see why she was so social. She has an uncanny ability to bring out the absolute BEST in every single person she photographs. Her personal approach only makes it easier to have your photo taken (especially if you hate that!). Highly recommended!!!

as prepped with all the gear she needed to make the magic happen. She has an incredible demeanor which put everyone at ease and put a smile on our faces. She was full of creative ideas, awesome props, and found a variety of beautiful locations for the Bride and Groom and the wedding party. Gaby knows how to get the moment without being intrusive and/or bossy. She is efficient with her work so you can get the posed images you want and get back to celebrating. Her final images were stunning. She's fantastic with capturing intimate moments as well as fun filled candids of the guests. I would highly recommend her for how easy going she makes the day and the fantastic range of pictures you get to remember it.

was so great with her direction!! She is the SWEETEST person and made us so comfortable!! Needless to say she photographed our wedding, maternity, newborn and now family photos! She has lifelong clients!!!

ound!

un, engaging, and easy to work with. Not only does she make you feel at ease, but she also gets all those shots that you want, and even some you didn't know you wanted. She is creative, but not over the top. Gabrielle has placed herself of the map of Indianapolis, wedding, portrait and commercial photography...don't miss out!

. Gaby also had great ideas to make our photos more unique to us, and does a great job finding ways to capture real moments instead of the traditional posed pictures. We have received many compliments from friends and family about our photos and would recommend her to anyone in need of a great photographer.
