KEEP IT EMOTIONAL 〰️

HELLO! I’m Gabby. I’ve been photographing weddings and elopements in New Orleans, Louisiana since 2016 and have honed my craft capturing hundreds of celebrations with ease, romance, fun and realness.

My couples appreciate art and the beauty in everything and want their weddings to be documented with authenticity, emotion and nuance.

I unabashedly promote individualism and the belief that our own vulnerability is our greatest super power. I also firmly believe that all of these things are paramount to the photography experience. How we relate to each other and how we love each other is the driving force behind my work.

Together with my clients we create images with room to breathe. We are not afraid of the messy or the weird or the grit - it’s what makes us human and beautiful.

 

what they’re saying…

 

Gabrielle made our elopement ceremony beyond special and perfect. Leading up to and on the big day, she was enthusiastic, caring, genuine, and responsive. She was a delight and the perfect addition to our day. Gabrielle blended in seamlessly with our family. Despite being the only photographer, she somehow captured every angle and from various distances all by herself and did a flawless job. Our pictures blew us away and we couldn’t have possibly been happier with them. She was so creative and artistic and guided us the whole way without being pushy. I couldn’t recommend her more and we are so lucky to have had her photograph the most important day of our lives! -Marisa


I wish I could select more stars. We had a very unique situation and Gabrielle worked so diligently with us to accommodate us and I am forever grateful. Moving 1200 miles away, a hurricane and both getting COVID all accompanied with a rushed timeline for wedding invites - we were not easy clients by any means, but she made us feel so valued from beginning to end. Customer service: out of this world. Talent: next level. She made us feel SO comfortable and helped us loosen up and have so much fun in front of the camera I was very nervous at first and that quickly faded with Gabrielle's help. Forever grateful and forever cherishing these pictures. -Kaitlyn


Every single detail of hiring Gabrielle was a joy and a dream come true. She joined us on our elopement in Natchez and we loved every minute of being in her presence. Even though we'd never visited the town, Gabrielle collaborated with us on the direction, shot styles, locations, inspiration, mood, and timing so that everything would be worry-free and our day could be magical. We loved her spontaneity, creativity, and kindness and we'd highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! We will treasure our photos forever. I wish we could elope again just for Gabrielle! -Haley

frequently asked questions

 
 

how do I book?

After submitting a contact form, I’ll reach out personally to give detailed pricing, ask about your wedding and YOU. If we’re a good fit and you want to lock down your date I require a paid retainer and signed contract to save your wedding on my calendar. I only take 25 weddings per year so booking in a timely manner is very important!

Do you travel?

Yes! I will travel a couple of times per year for weddings and elopements. Travel fees will be calculated based on where we go!

I love film! will you shoot some at our wedding?

ABSOLUTELY. Film is always available as an add on and is also included as an option in my Complete Wedding Package. I shoot both 35mm and medium format film and have a wide variety of cameras I love to use.
