Hello, I'm Gabriele

Ten years and hundreds of weddings, in D.C. and far beyond

From intimate backyard elopements to grand ballroom celebrations, every couple I photograph does it their own way, whether they follow time-honored traditions or forge their own paths.

I blend documentary storytelling with fine-art portraiture, so every gallery has both candid laughter and carefully composed moments.

How I work

What couples tell me they valued most

01

Documentary

Most of your gallery is the day as it happened: the small, unseen moments, not only the posed ones.

02

Fine-art portraits

Time set aside for composed portraits of the two of you, with clear, simple direction.

03

Calm on the day

I keep the timeline on track and work alongside your planner, without getting in the way.

Kind words

“We really wanted a photographer who could capture the small, more unseen moments, instead of only posed photos. She truly delivered in every way.”
Alison & Bradley
“She managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive.”
Mike & Bella
“Always a calming presence in hectic family times.”
Muyun & Roy
“The photos are breathtaking and just stunning.”
Marlee & Cory

The bride is wearing a white wedding gown with a long train, and the groom is dressed in a navy suit. Petals are scattered on the ground, and the scene is set outdoors in spring.
