A collaborative process with intention, style, and emotion
My couples are seekers of beauty.
They are lovers of art, light and meaningful experiences. They are drawn to places with soul, to refined details, to the quiet luxury of intentional design.
They want a story — one that mirrors the depth of their connection. A story that is intense yet playful, soft yet powerful, tender yet passionate. They want the atmosphere of their celebration to be felt, and the essence of their journey to be seen. What they seek is not just imagery, but a narrative that holds all their paradoxes, all their layers, all the ways they love.
My bride and groom are sensitive to images that carry emotion, context, and presence.
Images that breathe.
Images that feel like memories,
Images that reveal the experience of a wedding in the South of France: the softness of the light, the textures, the movement, the intimacy, the poetry and playfulness of a day lived fully.
They are couples who choose meaning, intention, and authenticity.
They want their wedding to be felt and seen.

WHO
Your wedding deserves a clear visual direction ,whether minimal, romantic, fashion-forward, or timeless. Some couples arrive with a strong aesthetic vision, others prefer to build it with me.
Both work beautifully.
The goal is to ensure we’re aligned on the story, the light, and the feeling we want your images to carry. Together, we create a visual language that guides everything: your locations, timelines, styling choices, and the way we approach movement and portraits.
This process can be very simple or more elaborate, depending on what you need.

MY HUSBAND AND I FOUND GABRIELLA ONLINE AND WE’RE INSTANTLY IMPRESSED WITH HER WORK. WE CORRESPONDED WITH GABRIELLA FROM THE UNITED STATES AND MET WITH HER WHEN WE ARRIVED IN FRANCE.
SHE MADE US FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WHICH LED TO SOME GORGEOUS PHOTOS THAT I DON’T THINK WE WOULD HAVE HAD OTHERWISE. GABRIELLA IS EXTREMELY TALENTED, EASY TO WORK WITH, AND PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY PHOTOGRAPHS! I JUST WISH SHE LIVED CLOSER SO WE COULD WORK WITH HER MORE FREQUENTLY.
