As a wedding photographer, I love getting shots of the dress during details hour. There are so many ways to display it, but my new favorite has been on a mannequin. It ensures the dress maintains its proper shape from all angles, and I love hanging the reception dress behind it! Your wedding dress is more than just fabric. It’s the one of the most personal choices you’ll make during wedding planning, and a tangible heirloom. It deserves to be displayed in all its glory.

What’s your opinion on flatlays? Personally, I love jumping right into detail photos at the beginning of a wedding day. The details set the tone and fill in the story of the day. From the rings to the invitation suites, the details represent who the couple is. As long as my clients want these photos, I’ll very happily do them!

What do you think of flatlays?

K & C are married! My second wedding of the weekend was at Rose Hill Manor, which coincidentally is where I was on June 1 last year too! This couple and their families were just the sweetest, and it was hard not to feel emotional during their vows and toasts. They participated in a traditional Paebaek ceremony, during which family members wished them well (and tossed dates and chestnuts to symbolize future children). It was truly a special day!

After an afternoon of rain and clouds, the sun finally came out in time for H & T to say, “I do!” The bride’s family lovingly designed all the floral arrangements, to beautiful effect in the light-filled space at @theatriumatmeadowlark . When the gardens closed, we had the whole place to ourselves! Congratulations to these sweet newlyweds!

Dreaming of sunny summer days on this rainy morning. Georgetown is one of my favorite spots in the district for engagement sessions. It’s beautiful year-round, and I love its cozy neighborhood vibe. Best of all, it has some great cafes for post-session sweet treats (my fave is @bakedandwireddc ).

When you start planning a wedding, suddenly and inevitably, waves of opinions also come rolling in. It’s easy to lose sight of what feels like “you” in a sea of (mostly good-intentioned) ideas. If you want your wedding gallery to feel like a true reflection of your relationship and values, talk with your partner about what matters most to you. There is no right or wrong way.

Feels like summer in the District 🌹 I loved walking through the Bishop’s Garden with J & J at the National Cathedral. I can’t wait to see these two again later this summer for their @birkbyhouse wedding!

This weekend, D & N wed in a celebration rooted in tradition and filled with love. The day began with a beautiful Lao wedding ceremony, where the groom processed to the bride’s family home and negotiated to enter. With laughter and joy, he was welcomed in, and the couple literally tied the knot. The festivities continued at a charming winery, where they danced the night away with their guests. Congratulations to this sweet couple!

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the moms and mother figures who have cared for and supported us! On your wedding day, we celebrate the women who hold it all together with grace, love, and a little magic, and we remember those who are deeply missed. Thank you to my own mom for filling our childhood with love, and for teaching us the importance of family and those who came before us (and for being a wonderful role model for my children).

Hi loves! I’m Gabrielle, and I’m a wedding photographer serving DC, Virginia, and Maryland. I’ve been in the industry for about 4 years, and love every bit of it. I used to be a middle school teacher, a nanny, an administrative assistant, and now I am so happy my little business has become my full time job.

Wedding photography has been so much more than pushing a button on a camera. I’m in constant communication with my couples before their wedding days, giving advice and learning about their tastes and priorities. I take so much pride in the work I do, and I’m grateful to work in an industry that is full of such kind and talented people.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m enjoying time with my husband and children (usually hiking). I love a good thrift store, a fun book, and of course, watching Pride & Prejudice on repeat while I edit.

Thank you to all my couples, it has been a dream come true to work with you and celebrate your love!

Your wedding day should feel like magic, and your vendor team is there to help! Your vendors don’t just show up to your wedding, they communicate with you (and each other) throughout planning to determine how to bring your vision to life. As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how much smoother the day goes when you have vendors who work well together. I give all of my couples a growing guide of trusted vendors who I have not only loved working with over the years, but have the experience and professionalism needed to make your wedding day feel like a dream come true.

April wrapped up with the most dreamy spring wedding at the Chevy Chase Club! Lai and Levan’s day was full of thoughtful details, a stunning pink and green palette, and so much love. Their wedding day embodied all the freshness and joy of spring, and that golden hour light? Perfection.

It’s hard to choose my favorite photos from C & T’s wedding earlier this month. From sweet moments with the wedding party to a choreographed dance to “L.O.V.E.,” this wonderful couple made every second of their wedding day feel personal and meaningful. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Engagement sessions are more than just a photoshoot. They’re a chance to connect, get comfortable in front of the camera, and celebrate a new chapter in a place that feels like you. A & M met up with me this past weekend at the State Arboretum of Virginia, which was beautifully in bloom and gave us a natural springtime vibe. I’m so excited for their wedding this summer at @rosehillmanor !

A sweet Sunday brunch wedding—S & K said, “I do” in front of the Goodstone Inn’s iconic ivy wall, following a morning getting ready together and sharing private vows. After their ceremony, they invited their guests inside the Conservatory for brunch, featuring custom crepe and omelette bars. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Wedding days can feel like a blur, so being intentional about your wedding photo timeline can help you feel more grounded throughout the day (and give you more time with your guests). By communicating throughout the planning process, discussing “high priority” shots, and exploring the venue ahead of time, we can prevent your wedding day from feeling like one big photo shoot. At the end of the day, it’s about the people you’ve gathered together, so I want you to have as much time with them as possible!

Anyone who was in DC on Saturday knows it was absolutely packed. But Woo and Jason managed to make it to the Jefferson Memorial during peak bloom 🌸 Even though the monument was full of tourists, everyone was so kind and respectful as this sweet couple shared their first look.

Their ceremony followed at @parkhyattdc and one of my favorite parts of the day was their Paebaek ceremony. Family members tossed dates and chestnuts to the couple, representing how many sons and daughters they would have.

Congratulations to these newlyweds!

Back in 2015, Emily visited Dover Hall, snapped a photo, and declared she would get married there someday. About a decade later, her dream came true. Emily and Clay were married there this past Friday.

Their day was full of smiles and happy tears, and their wedding truly embodied the idea that two families were becoming one. Every moment was intentional, from the gift they presented their parents to their private vows.

Cheers to E & C! 🍾

Traded the monuments for some mountain views this weekend with S & T at @kingfamilyvineyards ! It was windy and overcast, and I love the texture of the cloudy sky behind the mountains. It was the perfect way to end a weekend of weddings.

It’s that time of year again 🌸 To make the most of your time with the cherry blossoms, consider these tips:

Check the Cherry Blossom Festival calendar for events like the Kite Festival or marathons that will cause crowds and close roads.

Uber, metro, or walk to the Tidal Basin. There’s very limited parking around the area, and it will absolutely be full. Map your route, reserve a spot in a garage, and plan for traffic.

There is a lot of construction around the Tidal Basin right now. The Jefferson Memorial is still usable, but be aware that other areas will be restricted.

Go at sunrise. You will still see plenty of photographers posted around the Tidal Basin to catch the sunrise, but they usually filter out after the sun comes up. They’ll quickly be replaced with portrait photographers, but crowds will be a bit more manageable than at golden hour. Go on a weekday morning if you can.

Bring walking shoes, a warm coat, and a positive attitude!

Tudor Place is one of my favorite hidden garden gems in DC. While I love the architecture of spots like the Jefferson Memorial, these lush greens are just beautiful. You can find a few garden spots around the District for springtime engagement sessions, so if that’s your vibe, ask your photographer for suggestions!

Any other wedding vendors itching for “off-season” to end? While you’re never really off as a small business owner, we all need a break from time to time. But with the temps in the 70s this week, all I can think of now are sunny wedding days, fresh blooms, and golden hour!

Any other wedding vendors itching for “off-season” to end? While you’re never really off as a small business owner, we all need a break from time to time. But with the temps in the 70s this week, all I can think of now are sunny wedding days, fresh blooms, and golden hour!

Butter yellow just feels like spring and I love it as a wedding color. It’s sunshiney, warm, and welcoming. There’s a psychology behind colors. When choosing your wedding colors, consider your venue, personal preferences, and the feeling you want to achieve!

To ensure your mom (or the special person helping you into your wedding dress) is photo-ready, consult with your vendors on timing! You both need to have hair and makeup complete, and they should be dressed. Chat with your planner, HMUA team, and photographer to craft your timeline and determine the order of hair and makeup!

A few reminders as we near the end of February:

Minute by minute, we’re gaining more sunlight each day.
The first day of spring is only about a month away.
The cherry blossoms are coming.

The wintertime can feel oppressive and isolating. If you can, go on a walk, meet up with friends, take a break from your phone. Warmer and brighter days are coming.

When it comes to your wedding decor, don’t forget the personal touches! They can come in the form of a unique guest book, like a rendering of your venue that guests can sign, or a lovingly homemade wedding cake. Handmade details will always be sentimental. I love seeing little details that make me think, “Of course this couple would do this,” because it reflects their personalities as both individuals and as a couple!

Your wedding day can feel like a fairytale. It’s the first page of a new chapter of life together, so spend the day close to each other! Take a moment alone to enjoy the “just married” feeling before you mingle with your guests. Remember this day is about your love story. Everything else is extra.

Romanticizing February with winter engagement sessions in this beautiful city. This year, I want February to feel less like, “It’s STILL winter??” and more like, “Spring is coming.” February is the color pink, rom-coms, and the days slowly getting longer again. These winter engagement sessions bring me so much joy because they remind me that there are so many good things to come in spring.

I’m so glad Flavia and Jose met with me this past chilly, windy weekend in DC for their session! Their wedding at @great.marsh will be my first of 2025, and I can’t wait to see them again (in warmer weather).

“In February there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret.”
― Patience Strong

This year, I want February to feel less like, “It’s STILL winter??” and more like, “Spring is coming.” February is the color pink, rom-coms, and the days slowly getting longer again. These winter engagement sessions bring me so much joy because they remind me that there are so many good things to come in spring.

I’m so glad Flavia and Jose met with me this past chilly, windy weekend in DC for their session! Their wedding at @great.marsh will be my first of 2025, and I can’t wait to see them again (in warmer weather).

“In February there is everything to hope for and nothing to regret.”
― Patience Strong

Your venue is the backdrop of your wedding photos—make sure you love it! I often ask couples why they chose their venue and what made it “the one.” Your photographer can do a lot, but we can’t change the color of the walls or the print on the carpet. Think about rainy day options, and let that help you inform your choice!

“Can I bring my dog to my engagement session?” Yes! I love it when my couples include their pups. I highly recommend bringing a friend or family member along to hold the leash so that we can take some photos with and without your pet!

The Tidal Basin may look very different this year, but I’m still looking forward to cherry blossom season in DC. If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the iconic blooms, keep in mind that construction around the Tidal Basin is still very heavy. Go early in the morning but still be prepared for crowds. Uber or walk since parking will be very limited. Be respectful of the blossoms (don’t shake the trees or climb) and be aware of other people around you!

Want beautiful ceremony photos? Here are a few tips from your wedding photographer:

1. Wedding party, if you don’t know where to look or feel awkward walking down the aisle, look at the photographer and smile for beautiful processional photos!

2. Make sure your veil is secure (and the veil is the most forgotten item for a wedding ceremony), so that it doesn’t fly away as you process.

3. Keep your bouquet low to avoid obscuring your face as you walk back up the aisle (especially if you do a dip and kiss).

4. As you walk back up the aisle, don’t forget to steal one more kiss! You’ll get a lovely photo with your guests cheering behind you!
