Snapshots by Gabriela

I initially gravitated to Gabriela because of her photography and editing style. I love the way she captured other people's special moments. We knew we needed to hire her as soon as we talked to her. She has the most amazing personality that perfectly fits the important role she plays during a wedding. She was vibrant, positive, and energetic. She will be your biggest hype person to ensure you are feeling good and having fun even if you do not know what to do in front of a camera. Her energy was palpable during our wedding, in the best way ever. I come from a big family so I knew family portraits were going to be time consuming and challenging. Gabriela handled in like the true professional she is. She was quick and efficient while being polite and friendly to all our family and guests. We had several people come up to us afterwards complimenting how amazing Gabriela was!! Her being able to communicate with our families in both English and Spanish was the best. With our mixed culture, this part was so so important to us. It made the experience so much better for everyone. We are obsessed with our engagement photos and our wedding sneak peaks (which we got less than a week later)! We love how she captured us and our loved ones. We CANNOT wait to get the full gallery.

as I saw her portfolio, I knew I wanted to book with her. We were flexible with our wedding date to make sure we could have her as part of our day. From the moment we met her, she exceeded our every expectation. She's incredibly professional but also brings kindness and warmth to her sessions and meetings. The photos are nothing short of breathtaking and timeless. She has the magical ability to capture all the details, big and small like joy of our friend and families faces, quiet moments. Each image shares our love and joy and all our emotions. Honestly, I've lost count how many times we've found ourselves scrolling through our gallery. If you're looking for a photographer, Gaby is your person! We feel so lucky to have had her by our side :)

utstanding experience – the photos, every interaction with her, all the planning & logistics she handled. Any smaller photo shoots I might do in the future, she’ll be 1st on my list. 1st is the most obvious: her photography is stunning. It’s true to life, light & airy, and vibrant & bright to highlight the joy of the day. Her eye for good angles, lighting, magical photos, capturing the emotion of the moment – all of it – is unmatched. She’s truly an artist. I’m not a picture kind of person but she made me feel like a model haha. Then there’s all the stuff you don’t see behind the scenes, the editing. There were so many little no-see-em bugs at my ceremony that my arms/neck/entire back (open back dress…LOL) had big red splotches for the rest of the day, it looked like I had hives. She edited out every bug bite 1-by-1 on all the photos 😭 I can’t imagine how long it took to do that!! I’m blown away with how good the photos turned out & they’re a gift we’ll cherish forever. She’s also just a wonderful person to be around! She’s so bubbly & fun & kind, she makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera even if you’ve never done photos like this before (we hadn’t!). She sent the most thoughtful care package shortly after booking with the cutest things – a personalized ring dish with our initials, a Snapshots by Gabriela canvas bag, a cute “diamond” pen, etc. She sent a “coffee on me” gift card a couple weeks before the wedding with the sweetest note. She spreads positivity & joy :) which is exactly the kind of person you want around you on your wedding day. Last, all the logistical stuff, which isn’t the exciting or glamorous part but obviously it’s so important for a wedding. No question about it, Gaby is a professional & she knows what the heck she’s doing. It was such a comfort & a HUGE relief off my shoulders because she had everything organized. From our first video chat answering all our questions before booking, to her pre-wedding questionnaire we filled out to give her all the info she needed, to creating her timeline & then coordinating it with my other vendors, she’s an expert. I had absolutely zero worries. My day-of coordinator said that Gaby was her favorite photographer she’s worked with because she was so on top of everything. Gaby’s seen so many weddings that she understands how they work; she knew how to incorporate everything I wanted & suggested ideas that I hadn’t thought of. She also provided us with a list of her recommended vendors that she’s worked with before, & that’s actually how we booked our videographer! Gaby provided so much value to our big day. Like I said above, the photos are the obvious thing, but there’s SO much more that Gaby does to make everything perfect and seamless. So. Like I said. Book her now!!!! I cannot recommend her enough!! <3 PS: The engagement photo shoot which is included was a HUGE PLUS! Not only did we got to meet Gaby in person, but having the opportunity to do a smaller photo shoot with her as a “test run” for the big day was perfect. We got a feel for how she worked, which made us so much more comfortable with the all the poses & photographs on our actual wedding day. It helped get rid of some jitters! Just another thing on the long list of things she does to deliver an incredible experience!!

wedding day comes. I can’t recommend Snapshots by Gabriela enough!!
