Gabrielle von Heyking Photographie

were part of the big day, and she was so patient and engaging with them, making them feel comfortable and even excited about being in the photos. One thing that really stood out was how flexible she was. We didn’t need engagement photos (which were part of our contract), so she offered to take family photos instead, and they turned out beautifully. Gabrielle was incredibly organized and kept everything running smoothly. She communicated with us throughout the entire process, and on the day of the wedding, she made sure we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the most precious moments made our day even more special. I feel so fortunate to have had her document these memories for us, and I can’t recommend her enough!

ith how he cared for us as an individual couple. She kept communication through our year-long engagement and was so helpful in choosing certain details based on how they would photograph. On the wedding day, she chose the absolute best second shooter. She was on time and flexible with day-of hiccups that were completely out of her control. When our ceremony venue was running behind, she advocated for us to have more photography time. When our transportation had to leave, she drove us in her personal vehicle to our next location. She is such a kind person and we're so incredibly grateful we found her. We can't wait to use her for professional pictures and milestones in the future!

. Her genuine care for her clients and their special days show through her passion, knowledge, dedication and…. yes, beautiful photos. We had an intercultural wedding - a mix of Indian culture, American culture, and Christian values. Like many photographers, she didn’t have experience with this sort of wedding. However, seeing the photos, I would have never known. In addition to our engagement session, she captured every beautiful moment and tradition during our wedding weekend, including the Bridal Henna (Mehendi), Haldi ceremony, rehearsal dinner, Christian ceremony, and reception. She showed so much interest in learning and understanding our fusion culture. If you’re even considering her as a photographer - consider these things. (1) She kept our wedding day stress-free. Not only did she keep us and our vendors on schedule, but she did so in such a graceful way that did not spark stress or inflexibility. This is SO important. (2) We are generally camera shy - but she did an incredible job making us feel comfortable and have fun. She worked well with my own insecurities and helped with flattering poses and editing to just enhance my inner and outer beauty. (3) She went above and beyond capturing our “must have” photo list. For example, she got photos of my father-in-law seeing me in my dress for the first time (he was crying), and it wasn’t even a planned “first look”. She asked so many questions to get to know us and what’s important to our wedding weekend. This allowed her to truly capture every moment. (4) If a secondary photographer is required to fully capture your day - she chooses from the best. Our secondary photographer also did an amazing job. (5) Her version of sneak peeks after the wedding is more than just the normal few photos. I’ll leave it at that 😍 The only thing we regret is not booking her as our first vendor. Gabrielle genuinely has so much knowledge of many venues and wedding vendors that Nashville & Asheville have to offer. She constantly immerses herself into the wedding industry and has deep contacts. We loved our wedding vendors, but she would have made the decision making so much easier! If you’re still not convinced, check out these amazing photos 🥹 Thank you, Gabrielle, for capturing the best weekend of our lives.

We are so grateful we have the most amazing photos to have and to hold forever. 10/10 recommend Gabrielle!!!
