Gianna's Photography

moment, the ones we saw and the ones we did not see.

photo goals. Gianna scoped out the area of our venues in the weeks before, finding unique shots that were close by that would give our photos variety. -Side wall of the neighboring business? Check. -Random field next to the parking garage? Check. She was also climbing in trees and laying in the wet grass filled with crickets. She knew what shots to take and did what needed to be done to ensure that she got them. My husband compared her to a ninja. She was very aware of the surroundings - if there was a memorable moment she was there and taking the photos to capture it. After awhile I didn't even bother to check to see if she was capturing the moment - I didn't have to worry which is so relieving on your wedding day.

the 'unruly children' in line with her direction and timeline. I would highly recommend her for all your wedding and portrait needs. Thanks Gianna! Love ya! J.R.

eryone have fun, and getting the job done. My groomsmen are known to be a bit rowdy, from Texas...she kept them in check all day. Then once the standard photos are over, she seamlessly meshes with the crowd and takes wonderful candid photos. She is great with lighting, great with action poses, offers advice and helps the bride/groom with their attire. She takes creative shots that are very unique. My wife and I just got our photos back and could not be happier. Go with Gianna - she will not disappoint!!!

a blast and something really fun to have to remember your big day. I highly recommend that!

our pictures turned out beautifully.

to their friends for photography. Thank you Gianna for more than we could have hoped for!

otos, wedding package value and her great personality. We could tell she would be fun to work with, but also be able to "herd cats" aka our bridal party and families on the big day. Beginning with our engagement photo shoot, she put us immediately at ease and was fun to work with. We were thrilled with our amazing photos! The day of the wedding was the same. Gianna has the appropriate amount of involvement for the moment. She felt like one of the girls, interacting with us while shooting the bridal party getting ready, but easily faded into the background to capture the private moments such as the first look and the tender moments with parents before the ceremony. Her second photographer was great to work with as well (Milena). I can’t say enough about the resulting pictures! Spectacular! We enjoyed working with Gianna so much that we are using her for our first child's first year photos. As always, we are very pleased with the results and with her professionalism. She will always be my first choice and my first recommendation when it comes to booking a photographer. Thank you again Gianna!!

were fun and professional and super sweet. The pictures turned out amazing and I love the proof book! I would Definitely hire Gianna again.

pictures. The only downfall I had was that I wished some of our pictures we a little more creative. The fix, just bring some shots that you want done and she would put a twist on them.

snapped the last photo at our dance. I found her name on the Knot and was nervous about such a big decision- she exceeded every expectation. She listened to our requests about lighting, offered ideas and tips along the way and has a delightful personality to work with. The quality of our photos for the engagement and wedding day are beautiful and we've had so many compliments. We were so impressed, she is truly a find! Thanks from the Shatava's

s and just fit right in with us. I received my prints a few days ago and her work is wonderful. She captured such wonderful memories. Thank you Gianna for my our special day so amazing. Always, The Rudds

confidence and allowed us to celebrate the day with no worries about the photos-we knew we were in good hands because she is friendly, and genuinely knows what she's doing. Amazingly professional- it was one of the best decisions I made regarding my wedding to hire Gianna.

ment my husband and I met Gianna we knew that she was a perfect match for us. She has a wonderful quirky sense of humor and was quick to realize our vision for our engagement shoot. She had the perfect setting in mind and the pictures turned out beautifully! Upon signing with her we opted for the entire package she had available. E-pics, private boudair shoot (beautiful special gift for my husband), rights to all the photos to be taken over the next year,a photobox at the reception, and a full day of shooting at our wedding(herself and another photographer). Gianna was so easy to work with and her second photographer Milena certainly has an eye for detail! The preview photos that we have recieved at this time are especially spectacular and both Gianna and Milena caught the candid moments of our day amazingly! Our wedding party loved working with her! Thanks to the timelines she had created we had more than enough time to get the large group photos out of the way even though my side of the bridal party was running behind that day. Words can't express the amazing job she did and I am so glad that Gianna was our photographer! We will be using her again in the future! She really did give us a bang for our buck!!

amazing at what she does.

around you taking pictures, you need someone with a great attitude, sense of humor and most importantly patience. All these qualities, Gianna possessed. I couldn’t have had a better photographer on my wedding day!

re wonderful. Giannas a complete professional about her work yet she's able to make her subjects as comfortable as if they were out with friends snapping a few candid pictures. She was also upfront about her pricing which I think is very important. Overall just an excellent experience with Gianna and I will highly recommend her to friends!

She was vary timely about getting the pictures back to me, and her website for viewing them all was very user friendly. On top of everything, her bright and bubbly personality made her an extra friend at the event. She truly is a gold star!

pendable- we got exactly what we were looking for! I highly recommend all of her services!!

, Spencer, was also wonderful and also paid fine attention to detail and captured some amazing moments.

family. She is very creative and worked very hard to get that "special shot."

ite. Once we talked with her we knew she was fantastic for the job! Gianna did a mix of both posed, candid and detail shots that really captured the day. She was not just a great photographer she also helped with boutonnières and kept me calm when things fell behind schedule (as the usually do). I also liked that she was able to keep the big group of people organized and on track.

hots and helped us re-create some of my pinterest favorites. One of the best things about Gianna is her ability to be flexible and efficient. She got all the shots I asked for, but some of the best ones were in-between poses or when the wedding party was allowed to "goof-off" and she captured those fun, energy-filled moments.

nergetic and got everyone in the pictures to smile. When I get married I will definitely be choosing Gianna to photograph my wedding!

military, taking engagement photos 3 days before the wedding, etc.) and she did a phenomenal job shepherding us and our hyper wedding party through photos. She caught great candids and the posed photos look amazing. Even when the girls ended up arriving late due to road construction, Gianna was still efficient enough to get done with photos with some time to spare for me to relax before the ceremony. She was kind, patient, and hilarious when dealing with some crazy groomsmen. She was worth every penny and I'm so happy we chose her. Here we are three days after the wedding and I have already seen sneak peeks of photos from our big day. She thought of fun locations and listened when I told her that my husband and I suck at serious faces/like to be goofy/had specific locations in mind. Ladies, use Gianna as your photographer and she will not disappoint!

she made him feel right at ease, making jokes with him and being very open to questions and suggestions. She is incredibly organized and has a million and one brilliant ideas for locations, poses, etc., but will always make sure that her client's requests are being met first. Our entire wedding party raved about how fun she was to work with, how professional she was in running the photo sessions, and the amazing quality of our pictures!

hing in that we wanted! The pictures turned out amazing and value for the cost is exceptional! We had the VIMEO photo box video done as well and it was a huge hit with out guests! The end-product captures the fun-filled night we had!

et either. I thought Gianna's rates were very reasonable, especially considering I had 3 photographers there (I highly recommend doing more than 1 photographer). I wanted a lot of candid shots in addition to posed, and I got a good mixture of both. I have a lot of favorite photos and am very pleased with how they turned out. I would recommend Gianna to friends.

o sessions. Not only does she take excellent photos, but she takes a lot of the worry out of figuring out wedding party photos. We got ours done in January in Downtown Minneapolis, and Gianna scouted locations that worked out perfectly. I highly recommend adding the Photo Box as well...it's a blast to watch the video after the wedding! We recommend Gianna's Photography to anyone getting married around the Twin Cities...she's the best.

& website for sometime & we knew she would be perfect to capture all the treasured memories & special moments of our day! Although we weren't able to meet in person prior to the wedding we were able to consult over the phone and via email. She expertly guided us through the process of deciding what package would best meet our needs working within our budget. Gianna put great effort into finding out how to tailor her style to fit our personalities & event. We opted for a mix of formal & candid shots & couldn't be happier. Even up to the night before the wedding Gianna promptly responded to emails calming my nerves about last minute details. On the day Gianna was instrumental in helping everything run smoothly and so fun to work with making everyone in the wedding party and our families feel so comfortable & it showed in our photos! Gianna was fantastic about updating us throughout the process of editing photos often sharing "sneak peaks" of her favorite shots along the way. We were able to view our online album only 1 month after the wedding & received our CD & proof album shortly after! We were thrilled with our photos & Gianna has a creative eye that elevates her photography to a whole new level. The combination of professionalism, attention to detail & passion for her work translates into fantastic photos & great service. She will take genuine interest not only in making your wedding day everything you hoped it would be but ensuring memories are preserved for a lifetime!

at shots of our big day. Everything was excellent about Gianna's service, including her communication leading up to the big day, making sure to ask lots of questions so her photography would be everything I wanted, and her personality/style. Maybe one of the best things is that she is very affordable! I highly recommend her as a photographer, and do include the PhotoBox video in your package, it was a very unique way to capture all of our guests! Much more exciting/interactive than a standard wedding photobooth.

lity. She has the most creative ideas for photos, and has an excellent way of showing them off when she edits them. I highly recommend her if you want someone who truely loves what they do to capture your special event! We hope nothing but the best for her and her company and hope to see it grow in the years to come. Thank you Gianna Photography, we will forever cherish these photos. ~The Rankin's :)

ing. After the first time I met with her I knew I had found the one for us. She shots events as if she were the subject and how she would want her photos, capturing emotions and love. I think that not only does she love what she does but her camera is part of her body! I hope if you are considering going with Gianna's Photography this helps you decide to go with her!

t amazing! I would recommend her to any bride looking for a creative photographer.

dating Gianna was regarding my ideas. She really let me give my input and she put her faith in my ideas and let me run with it. I am so thrilled and I can't stop browsing through them all.

d to give the event the feeling of a wedding reception, so I asked Gianna to come in and take pictures of all of the couples. She and her crew did a fantastic job both times they provided this service for us. They are very professional, creative, thorough and friendly.

o make my own wedding album. The look of the photos were amazing, really proffessional. Thanks Gianna

re fantastic quality and her personality on our wedding day left our entire wedding party relaxed, and it showed in our pictures! If you're looking for a photographer, plan a meeting with Gianna to discuss what you're looking for and you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend Gianna and her team!

l stops including outdoors at Rice Park and Mears Park for the Beer Dabbler. We also had dinner and dancing at Stella's in Minneapolis. Gianna was very flexible in making her 8 hour package "stretch" across what was a much longer day by placing some strategic "breaks" at our venue changes, and she also did a great job chasing us through the crowded festival environment in Downtown St. Paul. Love getting the high-res images of every photo taken as well. If you are considering a "non-traditional" sort of day, definitely worth checking out.

ove! Our photos were both classic and modern, she is willing to take whichever style you like! I was amazed and grateful that she had an assistant photographer, who was able to get different angles and can capture more photos! We truly love all the photos she took of our wedding!! We thank you Gianna!!

possible and the photos turned out great! She's very realistic about the prices and you don't overpay. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer with a tight budget!

cess fun and comfortable. She also worked with us to keep our package within our budget, while still getting everything that we wanted to have included for pictures. I will recommend Gianna to everyone I know looking for a photographer. She is the best!
