About Gabby

A few things about me:

  • I am organized and make sure to record all information for your wedding day, ensuring every detail you would like photographed is accounted for.

  • I have lots of experience in posing and making my couples comfortable in front of the camera

  • I am an enthusiastic and down to earth person who takes joy into every session

 I am Columbus based and travel worldwide. I am blessed with my husband Colton and our 6 year old son Atticus!

I started picking up a camera in high school- I am now 27, self taught and  owning my own business. I found out what I wanted to do early in life and went for it, with the support of my amazing husband. I am committed and driven, and have a habit of not putting down a project until I'm finished (who needs sleep anyway when you enjoy your work?)

I chose to specialize in weddings because I enjoy photographing couples. I love getting to hear the different life path’s people experience together and the tiny details that make up their special love stories. It makes my heart happy to know that my clients admire my work and trust me to capture the biggest day of their lives.

I believe in God, and that is a staple in my business. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. He has been with me every step of the way and I want to honor him in my business and everything I do.

You matter. Your wedding day matters. And I want to reflect the beauty of it all. 

I thrive in creating order out of chaos on a wedding day while seamlessly documenting all of the moments. My favorite thing to photograph is the bride and groom portraits and I absolutely love a good sunset! I have so much fun making timelines and helping my couples plan their day out with their photos in mind. I value one-on-one relationships and quality conversations.

I love showing people how valued they are, finding solutions to problems, and making wedding days shine. I'm detail oriented and think of everything when taking photos, while also creating a natural and cinematic story of a wedding day. 

Words that describe my artwork- earthy, cinematic, romantic

Words that describe me- genuine, efficient, calm natured, DCSI, ESTJ

I give a complete wedding experience, not just photos. I include timeline advice, vendor recommendations, photo planning for your wedding day, efficient workflow for the day of and more. Clients speak about my ability to create images that tell their unique story, efficiency and fast paced work on their wedding days, my creative eye and making the photo process easy and enjoyable.

Traveling for wedding days is my favorite thing to do, and ive had the blessing of capturing adventures on the west coast, east coast, beach, mountains, and everything in between. I enjoy every second of my job and am so grateful God has given me this opportunity to document love stories all around the globe! Contact me about your wedding or elopement, I travel to you!

My Love Story

I met my husband in middle school. We wouldn’t become best friends until senior year of high school, but later I found out that in 6th grade, he told his best friend he was going to marry me.

We sat at the same table together in study hall senior year, where we started getting close. I played tennis, and he played soccer. One day, I tried to sell him a t-shirt to raise money for a cancer fundraiser with the tennis team. The shirt was $10, but he only had $7. I told him I would pay the other $3, no big deal! What I came to find out a year later, was that that was the only money he had for lunch that week and he spent it on that shirt.

Fast forward to senior picnic, where we took our first photo together (thinking it would be our only one at the time!) We had expected that this day would be our goodbyes. He was moving to Illinois for college.

We hadn’t talked to each other since graduation. A few weeks goes by and I get a random text from him. It was a photo of that tennis shirt I sold to him, saying "look what I found!" We started talking after that text, and he decided to ask me if I could meet him for coffee- he wanted to ask me something.

At this point, he was only a few days away from moving to Illinois, boxes packed and everything. We sat down and he said "if I stay (in Indiana), do you think we'll be something?" low key asking me if we would go out. I said yes, and it was history after that.

About 8 months later, he joined the army and we got married the day he graduated basic training. We got stationed in KS where we had our son, and moved to Ohio after those quick 4 years.

I got married at 18 years old. We have been married for 9 years (in may) and we are proof that true love can be found at any age. I love sharing the story of us and how God intervened, using that shirt as the connection he needed to bring us together.

We still have that shirt and are planning on framing it soon!

I would love to meet you and chat about your perfect day!
