We are so happy we found Gabrielle to photograph our dream ski/snowboard wedding at Sunday River! She was so fun, took amazing photos, and is a great skier! We felt so comfortable with her and enjoyed every minute of our ceremony, day of skiing, and reception because of her. She even caught my wife ripping her pants on the dance floor! Very reasonably priced for all that she did for us. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for ski/snowboarding events!
Gabrielle was wonderful, she was so helpful beforehand and SO flexible the day of when not everything went to plan. The photos are beautiful! Would hire her again in an instant!
I had a crazy dream to ski on my wedding day! When I first developed this wish I knew it would be a challenge to find a photographer who could capture our special day on and off the mountain. It turned out to not be a challenge when I found Gabrielle! She is a wicked good skier and an incredible photographer! She captured all the "ooo's and ahhh's" of the whole day! When we got our album back my husband and I truly felt like we were transported back to the most special day of our lives!
Gabrielle is very organized and so easy to work with! She communicated with me throughout the whole process and coordinated with all my other vendors to make the day run so smooth! Gabrielle is truly the best combo of wedding photographer meets adventure! Do not hesitate to book with her!
After having Gabrielle photograph our engagement in Aspen, CO, we knew we had to ask if she would be willing to travel to New York City for our wedding! We are so happy she accepted, and once again she delivered absolutely stunning photography!!
Everything from her photo style, filtering, editing (incredible how many NYC tourists she removed from the background!), and even occasionally directing traffic so we could get the perfect shot - she is the best in the business! She worked with us well in advance of our wedding day to plan the locations and groupings of our photos to maximize our time and make sure we got the photos we wanted. While she is mainly in Colorado, be sure to visit her website to see if she will be in your state, or even just ask! We cannot recommend her enough!!
My now Husband originally hired Gabrielle when he proposed to me while on vacation in Colorado. We were so blown away by her work that we immediately booked her to travel out to PA for our wedding. I could go on and on about how amazing Gabrielle's photos are, but just look at her site...the pictures speak for themselves. What I do really want to emphasize, is not just how talented she is with a camera, but how incredible she is to work with. Planning your wedding, there will be a million things you are worried about, but I promise you that Gabrielle will not be one of them. She is professional, reliable, always responds in a timely manner, and so sweet and fun! No matter the occasion, you will not be disappointed if you book Gabrielle!
My Husband used Gabrielle for the engagement and she did such an amazing job that we booked her for our wedding! She was easy to work with and the final products are beyond words.
I searched through countless wedding photographer's profiles in Colorado before finding and falling in love with Gabrielle's work. She went above & beyond for our sunrise wedding. We got up early, she navigated us to some of the most gorgeous parts of RMNP to catch the perfect alpine glow. I also didn't know when booking her that she includes engagement pictures in the pricing! We used these other really great pictures as our wedding invitations! She also really knows how to make you both laugh and isn't afraid to get down & dirty for the perfect shot.
We could not be happier with our wedding photos from Gabrielle! The colors are stunning and each shot is incredible. She is such a fun and easy going person and makes the photo taking process so smooth. My family all talked about the hilarious positions she would get in to make sure she had the best angle but honestly I didn't hardly notice her for any of the candid shots (which I think is a great characteristic of a photographer). The investment is definitely worth it with Gabrielle! Thanks again Gabrielle for our beautiful photos!
Gabrielle was amazing! I was impressed with her level of professionalism! She was incredibly flexible with us having to change our plans to a more intimate wedding. She is super familiar with Garden of the Gods and gave us a variety of locations she recommended from for our elopement and photos! I really wanted sunset photos and she was willing to hike all over Garden of the Gods to get the best shots! My husband isn't a huge fan of getting pictures taken, but she was incredibly easy to work with and he even ended up having fun! We got married on a Friday and had our sneak peak pictures the Monday after! We have gotten a ton of compliments on our photos and love them too! We are doing a vow renewal next year due to COVID-19 and are definitely having her take photos again!
Gabrielle was simply wonderful! She did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable in front of the camera for both our engagement and wedding photos. You spend so much of your wedding day alongside your photographer, and Gabrielle was so fun to be with on our big day! Our engagement photos are beautiful and she sent sneak peek photos from our wedding just 3 days later that looked great - we can't wait for the rest. Gabrielle also went above and beyond the morning of our wedding when we had to change our First Look location due to a mudslide - she sprung into action all before 8am that day helping us find a new spot! She is super knowledgeable about areas in the mountains which makes her even more valuable to you for both engagement and wedding photos. The second photographer she hired to help shoot our wedding was also super friendly and talented, and we couldn't be happier with our experience!
Gabrielle was always on time and ready to shoot. She wanted to help us find the best locations for lighting within our chosen locations, and she knows how to be patient when giving directions about who goes where etc... Her photo editing process was brief, and she sends some proofs to help tide you and relatives over while she completes the rest of the editing process. She is enthusiastic, and makes you feel very special for your big day. She is laid back, but assertive with how she wants to capture it. Also a bee keeper as if you needed another reason to go with her! She is amicable, but knows how to stay on task and get to business. Quick to respond to emails as well.
I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Gabrielle was not only warm and accommodating, but she was so professional and captured the most amazing photos. She went through it all with us: a dreamy engagement photo session, to cancelling the wedding last minute due to the pandemic to rescheduling and possibly having to cancel again. She was so supportive and flexible making all of it SO much easier for us in a horribly stressful and trying time.
-email and text communication was always timely and professional.
-my friends and family were all blown away on our wedding day and definitely after we got our pictures back.
-warm and friendly
-made our uncomfortable, cold and snowy pictures fast and efficient
-would recommend her 100% and would hire her again!
Gabrielle is a gifted and sincere wedding photographer. She took our simple elopement in a courthouse and made it so special. Her background in architecture allows her to use buildings and interiors and frame them with a keen eye in the photos. We also did a portrait session in the park and they are extremely beautiful and will be treasured forever. We highly recommend her for your special day. She is curious, a great communicator, a skilled photo artist and has a warm and wonderful personality to boot! She is a superstar!
Gabrielle was fantastic! She was super sweet and easy to talk to. We gave her a list of pictures we wanted and she knocked them out in less than 15 minutes after the ceremony. Super impressive. The photos she captured are stunning. She has such an amazing eye. Everyone says they look fake because of how beautiful and perfect they are! High recommend using Gabrielle!!
Gabrielle was amazing! We had never had our pictures taken professionally before so we were both a little nervous, but Gabrielle was so helpful to ease that. She was very easy to talk to and have a laugh with! If we ever find ourselves in Colorado again to renew vows or just for a visit, we will definitely get more pictures done by her! She had good vibes all around! Thank you, Gabrielle for making our day even more special!
Gabrielle was absolutely amazing to work with!! We had the best time for both our engagement and wedding photos. She kept us laughing constantly and had so many great ideas. While COVID threw us all a curveball being scheduled as one of the first weddings to be canceled in the pandemic, Gabrielle worked with us to reschedule and still capture our special moment exactly as we had imagined it. We are IN LOVE with our wedding gallery and would recommend her to everyone!!!
We had planned a destination wedding in Hawaii, but due to covid we’re unable to make it happen. So we signed the papers and settled on some newly wed pictures. I have utilized several photographers in the area over the years and Gabrielle is by far my favorite. It was so nice to receive an ENTIRE gallery of edited pictures. Most photographers only give you rights to a handful, unless you’re willing to pay more. I also loved how she delivered sneak peeks literally 12 hours later! She was quick to respond, professional, and reasonably priced.
If you are thinking of booking Gabrielle, do it! Do it now!! This is your sign!! Gabrielle captured my partner and I SO amazingly among one of our favorite backdrops and we could not have asked for a more fun and talented photographer to capture us as a couple. We will treasure these photographs forever!
Gabrielle was amazing to work with! She was so relaxed and confident in her skill set. I hardly even noticed her on our wedding day because she was just so sleek in moving about and capturing the day from her amazing documentary approach. We adore our pictures and will treasure them for life.
Gabrielle was so positive and encouraging throughout our elopement and helped make our big day so special and stress-free; we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! She is kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and SO TALENTED! If you’re in need of a photographer, no need to look any further!
Gabrielle was amazing on our wedding day! She was very easy to work with and takes such beautiful photos! We are so happy with how our photos turned out and can't thank her enough for all the hard work she put into it! Book with her if you get the chance because you will not regret it!
I hired Gabrielle to take photos of my surprise engagement to my (now) fiancée. From our first phone call, I knew I wanted to work with her. She was responsive, kind, and willing to help in any way, shape, or form. She hid at the top of Snowmass mountain (hours from her house) to capture the special moment - and she did an excellent job! We were able to send amazing pictures to our loved ones that same day, with the full set of photos coming a week or two later. We both loved working with Gabrielle and would recommend her to anyone needing a photographer for a special event!
Gabrielle was amazing to work with. She has a wonderful, bubbly personality that instantly made my husband and I feel at ease. I was feeling self-conscious before the shoot having had just lost a pregnancy, but Gabrielle made me feel so beautiful. I cried tears of joy when we received our gallery. Image after image, they were all just stunning. Gabrielle captures images in Colorado how they are; colorful and true to life. Her editing style shows off the raw beauty of nature. Gabrielle can work with anyone but, she worked with the hardest type of client, a fellow photographer (me). We photographers are a lot harder to impress, but, she went above and beyond. I would highly recommend hiring Gabrielle for your wedding or elopement!
Gabrielle is fantastic! She shot our engagement session and our wedding. She came to photo sessions prepared with beautiful locations picked out. Gabrielle is kind and personable. She was also supportive and flexible and provided options for us when we needed to postpone our big celebration to next year due to COVID and opted for a backyard ceremony this year. She worked with us to make sure we were getting the photography we wanted for both celebrations. She is wonderful and I would recommend her to my friends and family!
100% the best decision I made! Gabrielle not only knows what she's doing as a photographer but she is a wonderful person!
Our wedding was on Nov. 1st, 2019 and Gabrielle was our photographer. It was a cold day with snow in the ground and we were outside. Without hesitation Gabrielle took off her jacket for me to wrap around my feet under my dress because my toes were freezing!
She is ridiculously accommodating, takes amazing photos, and I'm so happy to have met her!
Gabrielle photographed my husband and I for our wedding anniversary shoot and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She extremely knowledgeable of photography, weddings, and Colorado and was very easy to work with from start to finish. We really enjoyed working with Gabrielle as she seems to have a natural ability to put people at ease and made the experience so fun with her light-hearted humor and thoughtfulness. She was ready and enthusiastic about our desire to have mountaintop backgrounds and was willing to hike to get these shots we wanted. We were so happy when we received her photographs as she was able to perfectly capture our personalities and joy as well as the beautiful scenery. Gabrielle is clearly an adventurous soul that deeply cares about providing couples with photos that will last a lifetime.
Taking photos has never been something I look forward to. We met Gabrielle last year and had her take our engagement photos and had such a fun time. Gabrielle made us laugh and be ourselves the entire session. When we got our pictures back, we were blown away. Her creativity and angles made the pictures turn out incredibly. Without hesitation, we booked Gabrielle for our Wedding photos as well. Somehow, those pictures were even better than our engagement photos. If you need someone to capture your big day, or take engagement photos I would highly recommend this professional, you won’t be let down.
Gabrielle was absolutely AMAZING! Where do I even begin: she was so kind and helpful with managing such an important part of the wedding, she checked in regularybefore the day of the event to iron out details, her shot survey was incredibly helpful as it made me think of certain aspects of the day that I might have otherwise overlooked, she was super flexible the day of about what locations we wanted to shoot at on a 66-acre ranch, she constantly made us laugh and set us at ease while being photographed, and last but not least, the photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I am over the moon with the quality and artistry of the photos that she took, and I could not recommend a more amazing photographer to shoot the best day of your life <3
We just received our engagement photos and are totally and completely in love!! Gabrielle did such a wonderful job for our engagement session! She was very easy to reach (being I was not from CO) and she knew all of the perfect spots for photos! Thank you so much, we love our photos! -Gabbie & Ryan
Gabrielle was amazing. She is very detail-oriented, prompt, friendly and accomodating. We got all of our photos back in two weeks and they were all so beautiful. She captured so many beautiful moments of both the wedding party as well as our guests.
Gabrielle was the best choice of photographer for our wedding and engagement photos! She was highly professional and timely. She thoroughly attended to our requests and took amazing, beautiful photos on our big day! Our outdoor engagement shoot was breathtaking, and Gabrielle captured the scenery and our love perfectly. I highly recommend her for captivating photography!
Gabrielle took our breath away with her work! She is extremely talented in capturing your precious moments. We ended up with several different albums of different times of our day (group photos, wedding party, decorations, first look, etc.). Not only was her work absolutely AMAZING but working with Gabrielle was pleasure. She is very sweet, kind and patient. All of our wedding guests loved her and so did we! We would highly recommend and we honestly think you would be lucky to have her as your photographer.
Gabrielle was absolutely AMAZING the entire time we were working with her! She was prompt in responding, an absolute joy to be around, and her photos were so wonderful when we received them. Both me and my husband appreciated how comfortable she made us feel and how she was so easy-going the entire day. I could go on and on about how Gabrielle helped make our wedding day perfect. I would HIGHLY suggest her to anyone in need of a photographer!
Gabrielle was amazing. She catered to every special request I had for our elopement. All we had to show our family our special day were her photos and she DELIVERED!! My family still talks about how perfect our photos were.
She makes you feel like a real natural! I was so nervous I would look awkward since it was just me and new husband but I could not ask for better. I would have her do every event I had if she were close enough to home!!!
My husband and I just got our beautiful wedding photos from Gabrielle (2 weeks early!!) and absolutely love them! Gabrielle was professional, detail-oriented and very easy to work with. We would work with her again in a heart-beat! Thank you so much for all of your hard work capturing our special day!
Gabrielle was our photographer for our engagement pictures and our wedding. She is THE BEST! My husband and I were nervous about the engagement pictures because we both have bad “fake” smiles and didn’t know poses we would want. Gabrielle took care of all of that. She has so many tricks up her sleeve that made the whole session fun, light hearted, and she captured amazing candid moments, which is exactly what we wanted. Her photos turned out great - we couldn’t have imagined anything better. For our wedding: she was early to the venue, scoped out all the good places for our formal pictures to be taken, and was very efficient in getting the formal shots. During the reception she seemed to be all over the place - capturing every moment from all different angles. I can’t say enough good things about her professionalism, enthusiasm, and pure talent as a photographer! She’s the best!! We would pick her over and over again.
Gabrielle was professional, flexible, courteous and most importantly fun! Gabrielle directly worked with us to create our ideal photo package including travel and a non-traditional ceremony. She even went as far as skiing down a mountain with all her equipment with us to capture our ski-ceremony. We received a quick turn-around on photos and could not have been happier with the quality we received. The photos are better than we expected, we are so happy we had Gabrielle on our special day and would not hesitate to recommend her to any couple.
