I highly recommend working with Giana and her team 10/10 the pictures came out so beautiful.
Gianna was such a great photographer to work with for our big day! She was so wonderful and helpful both when we were planning our wedding and on the day itself. We did not want a ...
cheesy in-your-face wedding photographer and Gianna was perfect - she was efficient, super chill and fun to hang with, and we couldn't ask for better results! She took amazing candid shots, black and whites, film photos - you name it. Highly recommend hiring Gianna for your wedding if you can!
Gianna was absolutely amazing in the run up to our wedding, all her advice and professional forward thinking in to how our day would go. Our photographer on the day was G and they ...
were amazing totally captured us in a very natural and beautiful way. 100% would recommend them to anyone looking for amazing photographers and even better people.
We were so lucky to have found Gianna for our small wedding in Central Park, NYC. She was warm, kind, genuine, and professional - everything we could have hoped for and more. We ha...
d a wonderful time strolling through the park with her, and some of the surrounding streets. She made us feel so at ease throughout the shoot even though we were a little camera shy. The photos that resulted are stunning - she is a true artist with a unique eye. We loved the small details she captured, and the films shots were gorgeous too. You would be lucky to book her!
Gianna was the photographer for our elopment in NYC. Very quickly the relationship was simple, warm and relaxed. Gianna guided us with great kindness through the street of Brookl...
yn. The photos are original and of high quality, with this particular attention to the light. If you are looking for a singular experience, then we recommend Gianna without hesitation!
We had an amazing experience with Gianna. It took us a while to find the right photographer, so we were rather last minute with our request - she kindly agreed to photograph our el...
opement with only 3 weeks notice! We could not be happier with the results, the edits we received are beautiful, the colors are stunning, and we love that we also received black and white copies of every shot.
In addition to producing beautiful work, I have to say it was an absolute pleasure working with Gianna. It felt like hanging out with a friend, which made the shoot for two shy people a lot more comfortable and fun. She went above and beyond for us - both as photographer and our witness at city hall. We cannot recommend her enough!
Gianna was our photographer in NYC at the Ladies Pavillon. She was so calm and had a clear vision on how to keep everyone organized. I appreciate the leadership that she took to ma...
ke sure the photos would look great. She has a true gift and I can’t stop looking at our photos! She captured all of the most important moments! :)
Gianna did such a spectacular job with our photos, leading up planning, keeping me in the loop, and dealing with my neurotic plan-switching.
During the day, she was a source of ...
peace and calmness that I so very much needed and appreciated. At times I was so done with taking photos (as I also had a broken foot, was in a cast, and was feeling V stressed at times) and some how Gianna still produced graceful, gorgeous shots that have left me so relieved and in awe of her talent.
I would 100% recommend Gianna and use her again as our photographer. She was wonderful!
Gianna was wonderful to work with during our elopement in Brooklyn. She was willing to work with us and try a new area of the park, and made us feel very comfortable throughout our...
time together. Our gallery is beautiful and we couldn’t recommend her more.
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Gianna! The style of our photos was really important to me so I did a lot of research before booking. Her portfolio really ...
speaks for itself and I was immediately drawn to her artistic style. I am not a huge fan of your traditional posed wedding photos and Gianna gave me exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted editorial-style, candid, artsy, and fun and I got just that. The photos really capture the whole atmosphere of the night so well and it’s easy to remember how we felt on our wedding night when we look at them. Not only is she a great photographer, she also made us feel so at ease day of. She gave great direction and got all the shots we wanted while just being genuinely kind and chill to be around. We got our photos back as described in the contract and got even more than expected. If you’re looking for really special photos, I would 100% recommend Gianna!
Gianna is absolutely amazing! Her talent is unbelievable. Every time we look at our pictures they immediately take us back to how special she made our day. From start to finish she...
was amazing to work with and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the photography for our wedding. Hire her for your day, I promise you will not regret it!
Gianna was our wedding photographer at the Prospect Park Picnic house this summer. Her work is gorgeous, and we are so happy with the way the pictures came out! She is also lovely...
to work with and a very cool person. Highly, highly recommended!
Gianna photographed our August 2021 wedding at Frankies 457 Spuntino in Brooklyn. Working with Gianna as our wedding photographer was absolutely the right choice, and we recommend...
her to anyone planning their wedding.
We first contacted Gianna after seeing her reviews on WeddingWire and The Knot, and then looking at her galleries on her website and Instagram. Her ability to capture the authentic feeling between the couples in her images stood out beautifully among the many (MANY) generic, “wedding-y” galleries we looked at.
In looking through her Instagram galleries, it was striking how relaxed and natural the couples in her photographs looked. And so, when we first met with Gianna, we were nervous about how she would work with two awkward people who barely tolerate our moms’ documentary impulses. She immediately set us at ease with her candor, frankness, and experience. Her warmth and good humor carried over into the family portraits at our wedding, as she skillfully herded generations of relatives into just the right spot.
So, bottom line, we loved working with Gianna, and we loved the final photos. She captured our wedding day perfectly—when we flipped through the gallery, it felt like we were experiencing our wedding all over again. We look forward to showing the pictures to our grandkids.
Choosing Gianna to take our photos was the best decision we made for our wedding day. My husband and I both were hesitant about feeling comfortable during our wedding photos but...
also knew we wanted awesome photos as a gift to ourselves. Gianna made both happen. Not only did she make us feel at ease, but the photos are amazing! I find treasures every time I go through our album. Additionally, she had great suggestions for locations, especially on a rainy and cold day. Gianna is a gem and you cannot go wrong with her as your photographer!
Gianna is amazing! My Fiancé and I debated having engagement photos taken but once we saw Gianna’s portfolio we decided to go for it and we’re so happy we did! Gianna is extremely ...
talented and creative! She’s also great at making you feel comfortable while remaining professional. I highly recommend working with Gianna!!
If you are reading this, you got lucky because you have just found your photographer. Gianna is THE BEST! She has an amazing creative eye, she will make you feel and look at your b...
est, she is incredibly professional and lovely to work with, works with great speed and short turnaround, offers realistic pricing and the best part is that you will have images that are both a great memory to keep and an astonishing shot worthy of the best editorial work and exhibition spaces. Her understanding and treatment of lighting, framing, color, posing is above and beyond and this review comes from someone who is a historian of photography. Gianna created stunning compositions on the spot for our wedding and her ease with her top-notch equipment will make all the difference when looking at her images. Whether it be your wedding pictures, a family portrait, or any other moment you want to keep for the record, don’t think it twice and book with Gianna now!
Gianna was a joy to shoot with! She was very professional and knew exactly how to direct us for the right shots, and made the entire process pleasant and fun! Everything felt very ...
natural and intimate. Gianna’s just the perfect photographer for your wedding - can’t recommend her enough!
We were married this February in a small ceremony in Brooklyn, NY. We planned our wedding day in less than 8 weeks! Gianna was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She...
was so organized and we were completely stress free throughout the planning process working with her! She brought such peaceful and positive energy to the day and made everyone feel comfortable. We loved her ability to work with natural light and candid moments - she really took the time to get to know us and it shows in our photos. We received our pictures in a timely fashion and were absolutely blown away. We highly recommend Gianna and can’t say enough wonderful things about her! Gianna, thank you for sharing your talent with us! We are so grateful to have met and worked with you!
I truly cannot express how wonderful of an experience both my fiancé and I had working with Gianna. From our initial interview we knew she was something special, as she made a poin...
t to get to know us as individuals. Her energy is unmatched, and I haven't even gotten to our engagement shoot! Gianna has an incredible hold on how to make her clients feel comfortable and natural. We are absolutely blown aware with her unique artistry and exceptional eye for LOVE! I would give her 10x more stars if I could!
The best photographer.
From the very beginning of contacting Gianna she was lovely and so helpful, she told us the best way to use our time with her so we didn't waste it. Gianna a...
lso helped us with anything we wanted to know even if it wasn't about photography.
We had so much fun during our hours with Gianna taking photos, she is down to earth, funny and lovely to be around which helped us relax. The photos were sent within a couple of weeks... Gianna stayed in touch in the meantime too.... And we have never seen such incredible photos. Everybody who has seen out photos has said the same thing. What an amazing photographer. If I had to choose again I would choose Gianna every single time.
We are so lucky to have found Gianna as our wedding photographer. She is an artist! From our first phone call, where she was open and honest about her pricing package, and what we...
’d need for a day at City Hall, to making us (a very shy photo couple) shine through in every single photo. Gianna caught all the secret special moments of our day with friends and family and we’ll be having her back for our wedding party! Giannas photos are creative and one of kind. I would highly recommend her for city hall weddings, elopement, intimate weddings, and really anytime you want to shoot a raw, special, and honest moment. Looking forward to using her for many years to come.
We were so lucky to have Gianna as our photographer! I feel like Gianna really understood us and captured it in our photos. The photos are gorgeous, creative and unique. And she wa...
s great at giving us directions. I honestly hope that if we go back to NYC and renew our vows or something we can get Gianna to take more photos for us because she is amaaazing XXX
Gianna was so comforting on the phone prior to my wedding as she sensed I was worried about timing (cold weather, early sunset, large family, etc). When we met the day of the weddi...
ng, I experienced her warmth and passion come through yet again! She was professional yet personable. She was able to get all the shots I wanted without seeming overwhelmed or annoyed by so many guests requesting shots at the same time. My husband and I had such a fun time reliving our wedding day through her creative eye! I would highly recommend :)
Gianna was fantastic to work with! She clearly has a talent for photography, but more importantly she cares about documenting your special day. I couldn’t be happier with my experi...
ence with Gianna or the photos she took. Highly recommend!!
Gianna was truly a pleasure to work with! When we chose to elope to NYC, we knew we wanted someone to capture the day with a unique perspective and ability to capture the spirit of...
the city. Gianna more than delivered! She braved the (below) freezing temperatures with us and tailored her choice of locations for us to create an awesome experience. The photos themselves are amazing and truly took our breath away. Gianna was able to capture the essence of our relationship in images that we will cherish forever. Her professionalism and timeliness were so impressive and we would work with her 10000 times over! We would recommend her to anyone!
Gianna! Well to be honest no review I can write will do her justice! When we eloped we didn’t count on it snowing! But Gianna was there ready and waiting with ideas of how to make ...
the best out of a snowy situation!
Our photos are timeless and completely unique and for that I will always be grateful! I’m pretty sure we spent the whole time laughing/smiling and the cold feeling just disappeared. She’s so easy to get on with and took the most amazing photos that have been complimented highly time and time again by family and friends.
She truly is amazing, knows the city inside and out and knows exactly where to get some amazing shots in the city! Gianna is the best!
Gianna is an absolute gem and I can’t say enough great things about her! Her work is amazing! She shot our wedding and maternity pictures and we will definitely be hiring her again...
for newborn photos. She is extremely artistic and has an eye for detail. We did a shoot in late November when it was 35 degrees and I can honestly say I had so much fun I didn’t even realize how cold it was! She’s friendly, punctual, and truly is an artist with an eye for detail!
Gianna is amazing! She picked up on our unique style and really individualized our photos. She is incredibly creative, not afraid to do things outside the box to capture the perfec...
t shots and is so friendly and easy to work with. We would love to work with her again in the future.
OMG I LOVE THEM!!!!
I just saw them and I can't wait to show Ben! You captured us perfectly! Even our dumbass eyeball licking battle! I feel like everything about our trip is here...
and I'll cherish these forever. Thank you so much Gianna! Our day was made so special because of you.
Gianna was a true pleasure to work with. I usually hate pictures, but she really made me feel comfortable. I couldn't be happier with the end result. The pictures look amazing. My ...
only regret is not scheduling more time with Gianna. We took her on this crazy little hike in search for the perfect location and she was extremely patient with us. I am so grateful to her.
Gianna is AMAZING at her job... in fact she makes it look so cool that it's not a job!!! We had some contact before we met, a few texts and mails but by the time we met we honestly...
felt like we knew her years! So warm and friendly and calming too which is exactly what all brides need. Her artistic direction was an exact vision of what I hoped for our photos. She really can tap into what a couple want... and nail it!!! Everyone needs Gianna. She was on time and easy to deal with in every aspect. We could go on for days. Cant thank her enough, when you elope your photos are all you really have to show your family and the feedback from Ireland is that everyone felt like they were there with us. I think that says a lot. Forever grateful xx
We just want to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for having Gianna as our photographer for our wedding day. Not only did she take our photos but we are two Australians who...
were so overwhelmed by how big Brooklyn bridge park is and didn’t know where to have our ceremony, she was the one who suggested we walk around for a bit and found a nice secluded area with a beautiful rustic backdrop. Which was just so us! When we received the email (she said around 2 weeks and she delivered on time) and she sent us the link to our photos, we were just blown away. The reflection photo is not only my favourite but it appears to be everyone’s favourite. I still get feedback on how unique and creative that shot is!
5 stars isn't enough! :-) Gianna was amazing! As we were coming all the way from Australia and had never been to New York before, Gianna took the time to chat to us beforehand, fin...
d out what we were looking for, and answer all of the questions we had. She made everything easy and no-fuss for us, which is exactly what we were looking for! We had 4 hours total photography (1 hour included in our package and 3 additional hours which we paid extra for) which gave us extra time to explore NYC and get all the iconic shots we were looking for. We got almost 500 photos total (WOW!) and are struggling to find our favourites and there are SOOOO many amazing shots! She captured each of the moments so well, and now we have beautiful memories to look back on, and show our family and friends also (as we eloped with just the two of us!) Thank you Gianna for taking the time answering all of our questions beforehand, and for creating magical moments that we'll always hold in our hearts! xx
