Gabrielle Hail Photography

Gabrielle is incredible! I am a wedding planner and I have absolutely loved working with her. Not only is she super easy to communicate with & very responsive, but her photos are absolutely gorgeous. Definitely some of my favorites. Highly recommend Gabrielle Hail Photography to anyone looking for a really great photographer!

Gabrielle was just incredible, and we are so thrilled we chose her to photograph our wedding. My husband and I were pretty stressed about some wedding week mishaps, and Gabrielle felt that right away and successfully got us to focus on each other and our wedding day instead. She swooped in like an old friend and just made us feel like we'd known her for years. As two people who have NEVER taken any serious/romantic/sexy photos before, Gabrielle put us at ease and managed to take the most gorgeous pictures of us that we've ever seen! THAT is magic. She made the entire process seamless, fun, and SO beautiful, and we couldn’t be more grateful! She made us laugh when we were nervous and reminded us to breathe when we were getting anxious. Luckily, our reception was an absolute blast of a dance party, and I'll never forget looking over at Gabrielle and seeing her bopping in the middle of the dance floor while simultaneously snapping awesome action shots of our guests. She isn't kidding when she says she loves a good reception! Last but certainly not least, our photos are absolutely gorgeous- the way she works with light and shadows is incredible. She captures the moody nature of darker rooms and corners, and exploits the light in sunnier areas. We haven't stopped drooling over our photos since our wedding weekend. We are forever grateful she captured our amazing night so perfectly and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a photographer (she travels too!)

The. Girl. To. Go. To. End of story… In all honesty, Gabrielle is INCREDIBLE. As a photographer and as a human being. She makes it so much fun and delivers the dreamiest pictures. She’s been my photographer on several occasions, but my wedding images were to die for. She’s truly the most amazing!! I’ve even gone so far as to recommend her to everyone and anyone I know. Hands down, the best!

Working with Gabby was wonderful!! She is so sweet and made everyone feel comfortable the entire day. We had to change our wedding date, so we'd already had the engagement session included in the package we picked but Gabby was super flexible and agreed to come all the way to Baton Rouge to shoot our welcome party the night before the wedding. She worked so well with our coordinator and helped keep us on time as well. She knew we were planning on sending out announcements ASAP after the wedding and sent us a beautiful sneak peek just a couple days later. I will be calling her for many more occasions and can't wait to work with her again!

Booking Gabrielle was the best decision we made for our nuptial period. We booked her for our engagement shoot, my boudoir photos, our welcome party, and our wedding. To be honest, I wish Gabrielle could follow me through life taking photos (if only she lived in NYC! But then I’d go broke booking her to take photos of everything!). She is not only a literal genius behind the camera, but she’s sweet, caring, and super fun to hang out with. If you are looking for the same boring photos everyone gets for their wedding- you know what I’m talking about, those copy and paste any couples faces on the same shots from the same angles with the same boring themes....then don’t book Gabrielle. BUT if you want photos that all your friends, family, and even strangers tell you look like they came straight out of the coolest magazine in the world, then RUN, don’t walk, to book Gabrielle. Seriously, this queen captures the joy and love at your event in a way I’ve never seen before. I don’t even like photos being taken of myself because I’m so awkward, and yet here comes Gabrielle, photographer extraordinaire, making me look like a freakin GODDESS. Oh! And she not only rocked us in the photo album, there were so many great highlights of all of our guests, in all of their glory, that allowed us to experience the joy from our loved ones eyes. Thank you Gabrielle! We will cherish these memories for a lifetime, all thanks to you. ❤️

Hiring Gabby was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. She can literally make anyone look good and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention she's just one of the nicest people I've ever met, and she makes you feel like you're one of her best friends. She was always available and got back to me super quick, and helped me plan everything from outfits to locations and more. I honestly can't say enough good things about her. The photos she creates are STUNNING and capture all the feels. There was a tropical storm on our wedding day and somehow she still made us look good - she's magic.

I honestly have no idea where to begin (I could go on for hours)... GABBY IS AMAZING. She felt like a family member the entire day, and I’m pretty sure everyone who met her at the wedding wanted to be her best friend — not to mention her artistic eye is INSANE, y’all! She could literally make anyone look like a freaking rockstar. Easily the best decision we made 👏🏻👏🏻

Gabrielle’s photography is stunning and she’s the sweetest human to boot. Her portraits feel like instant heirlooms and my husband and I will treasure them always. Gabrielle is always super responsive and often responded to my messages within minutes. She was enthusiastic about all my ideas and suggestions and even brought her own vintage candelabra props for our elopement photo shoot at no extra charge. We had a blast working with her the day of the shoot and enjoyed all her fun suggestions (at one point, my husband and I found ourselves having a thumb war and playing rock paper scissor—no static, uncomfortable poses when working with Gabrielle). We had a wonderful experience hiring Gabrielle as our photographer and highly recommend her.

Gabrielle's work is stunning. It truly speaks for itself. Beyond talent, Gabrielle is the sweetest human I've ever met. She is so easy to work with and a delight to be around. I contacted her for a session of me and my husband in our wedding attire and within 30 minutes we were scheduled for a shoot in 2 weeks. I couldn't believe she could fit me in so soon! I was elated! Gabrielle is so incredibly calm and easy going. If we had gotten married in Nola, I would've 100% wanted her to have been our wedding photographer (we eloped in CO). She is worth every penny and I am SO IN LOVE with our photos! We will definitely be using Gabrielle's services again in the future. I highly recommend her!!

Gabrielle is a dream come true photographer! Not only is she sweet, and oh so creative, but she absolutely loves what she does and it shows in her work! She worked hard to make sure she understood who we are as a couple and what we wanted from our photos. She is timely and professional and leaves you feeling like you are the most important and beautiful person in the world (which is not a bad feeling to have on your wedding day! Or any day for that matter!) We could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos and have had rave reviews from all our family and friends as well. Gabrielle felt like a part of our family while she was photographing our wedding and we love her so much! Thank you for capturing the most magical day of our lives so perfectly!!

WOW. Gabby is one gifted lady. She has an incredible talent of seeing that picture perfect second in any setting. I was very nervous that I wouldn’t look good in the pictures because I have no clue how to pose, or what to do with my hands, and what the best angles are, etc. But Gabby made it so easy. She knows exactly how to get those perfect shots. Every picture looks like a Pinterest picture, I can’t believe how good everything came out. Simple, elegant, timeless, and absolutely perfect! Our engagement session was only 45 minutes because I was so late coming in from out of town. I barely had any makeup on, I threw on a dress and heels, hair was a few days old and barely done. I was so stressed because I definitely didn’t feel my best or ready to take professional pictures, much less. But omg do I look amazing in the pics, and my husband.. ugh he looks so good. That’s all Gabby, she can capture the most beautiful, most tender, and most intimate moments with ease, and we had a blast the whole time! And the wedding pictures... I just cry looking at them. My husband is definitely not easy to photograph, and he looks like he should be on the cover of GQ 😍. The pictures gabby captures as we were talking up the steps to the altar leave me speechless. That whole day is a beautiful blur now, but her pictures bring back the emotions and excitement of the most intimate and special moments of the day. I can relieve that whole day through the moments she captured. Not to mention she photographed our whole wedding BY HERSELF cause it was in New Orleans on the day of Hurricane Barry, July 13, 2019. She still showed up, with her amazing hubby who helped out all day, and absolutely killed it. She’s superwoman. And I absolutely can’t wait for our last beloved session!! ❤️❤️❤️

Gabrielle is kind, patient, genuine and very talented!!!! I love her style and way of taking pictures. There is no posing or structure, everything is natural. She will make you and whoever you are taking a picture with feel very comfortable and look stunning. I have already done two sessions with Gabrielle and I can’t wait until I can book another <3 Thank you Gabrielle for all that you have done for Christopher and I. The pictures you have taken will be saved forever.

Let me say this upfront, I don't like pictures of myself. But, I knew that our wedding needed to be captured and enjoyed for many years, and wedding photography is an investment for sure. I had been following Gabrielle via Instagram for about a year and knew immediately that I wanted her to photograph my future wedding. Her photography style is romantic, moody, not overly filtered, and natural. That fit perfectly with our style of a romantic garden wedding. She was a delight to work with and getting us to open up, because we're pretty awkward, but she knew exactly how to connect with us and that's so important. We will cherish our pictures for years to come and look fondly back on working with Gabrielle.

I wish I could give Gabrielle 1,000+ stars! From the moment I inquired for more information Gabrielle made me feel so special and cared for, she made me feel so comfortable, I felt like I was talking to a friend of mine. The day of the wedding I was so excited to meet her for the first time, and it felt like reuniting with an old friend. Apart from her being the sweetest, her work is impeccable. I don’t like taking pictures, my husband and I are both really awkward and I thought we weren’t photogenic at all, and I was truly worried about us not liking the pictures, but Gabrielle made us feel so so comfortable, she laughed and had such positive enegrgy the whole day and turned our awkwardness into the most stunning pictures I have ever layed eyes on. Every single new shot that I look at I’m in complete shock of how good we look, how purely she captured the moment and how in love I am with these pictures. Truly the most amazing, talented and coolest woman I’ve ever met, book her book her book her x 1,000 times y’all! I got so many compliments from everyone on how nice her and her team were! Thank you again Gabby!!! Already thinking of a good excuse to do a shoot, one year anniversary shoot? ❤️

Y'all. Book her. Just do it. Gabby was one of the first vendors I booked for our wedding and I never questioned my decision to do so throughout the entire process. I did my boudoir and bridal photos with her before the wedding and her sense of creativity, kindness and passion made me feel like a million bucks. She always knew what to say or how to naturally capture moments without awkwardly posing me/us. She truly is a gem and I'm here to recommend her to you!

From the moment I emailed Gabrielle to query her availability to the end result she was incredibly professional and very friendly. She went above and beyond to provide any assistance she could in helping me plan my elopement from the other side of the world. Her work is absolutely stunning, I couldn't recommend her enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the amount of care you put into making our day as special as it could be! X
