THE WEDDING GUIDE
Photography with a purpose
Candid + Real Photography
Thank you so much for considering me to capture such a special season of your life — it seriously means a lot.
I will be so much more than your wedding photographer. My goal is to show up on your wedding day and feel like a friend. When your walls can come down, that’s when the most beautiful pictures happen.
I shoot both digital and film, and I love blending the two to create photos that feel natural, timeless, and actually like you. Nothing overly posed or forced, just real moments as they’re happening.
I’m big on the in-between moments — the stuff you don’t even realize is happening at the time. Of course I’ll guide you when needed, but for the most part, I want you to just be present, have fun, and fully live your day. I’ve got everything else covered.
I work best with couples who want things to feel easy and intentional - who care more about the experience than being perfect, and who trust me to document it all as it naturally unfolds.
All of my collections are built to give you a really seamless experience, but there’s always room to customize things so it fits exactly what you’re looking for. Photography is an investment, because these photos are going to be the timeless memories you get to tangibly look back on.
Hey I'm Gaby!
Your wedding day bestie
I want to be there for anything you need - snapping fun photos, keeping the bridal party on track, picking the best photo locations, & I'll even pass you a tissue if you need it.
I'm a fun-loving & candid inspired photographer based in San Diego, CA. I'm a shoes off + have a good time kind of girl! On a wedding day, my goal is to feel like a friend and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and to focus on the raw & real moments on your day.
" Gaby was amazing! She’s so fun and personable! I really appreciate that as it made me feel more comfortable with the exciting chaos of a wedding. Whatever I needed, her & her team were there to help. The pictures came out incredible, she really went above & beyond putting the absolute best work into my memories"

Add-on #2
Second Photographer
Add a second photographer to your Intimate Package for more complete coverage.
(Included in the Signature and Full-Day Packages.)
I work with a trusted second photographer that I personally bring onto your wedding day if you choose to add this on. Every photographer I hire is experienced, runs their own business, and is someone I fully trust to photograph an entire wedding day. I still handle all of the editing, so your final gallery stays cohesive and true to my style.
Having a second photographer allows your day to be captured more fully and seamlessly. While I’m focused on the main moments, they’re capturing everything happening alongside it—like getting ready on both sides, guest reactions, and additional angles throughout the day. It gives you a more complete, elevated story with all the in-between moments and perspectives that might otherwise be missed.
$600
Add-on #3
Rehearsal Dinner Coverage
Rehearsal dinner coverage is the perfect way to start telling your full wedding weekend story. It’s a more relaxed, intimate night filled with real moments—hugs, toasts, and all your favorite people in one place. I capture it all in a candid, documentary style while also getting to connect with your people ahead of the big day, so everything feels more natural and seamless. Typically, 1–2 hours is perfect to cover the key moments and overall vibe of the night.
$700 per hour
Add-on #4
35mm Film Images
For couples who love a nostalgic, editorial feel, 35mm film can be added to your session. Film photographs have a soft, timeless quality with natural grain and texture that feels beautifully different from digital. I capture these moments intentionally throughout your day.
Film images are professionally developed and scanned, then lightly edited for color and consistency. Film has a natural, imperfect quality — not every frame is guaranteed, and that’s part of the magic. One roll of film is 20-30 images. Delivered alongside your digital gallery.
$100 per roll

Meals, accommodations, transport, and any travel-related logistics.
For Your Wedding Day...
We'll talk over timeline beforehand
I like to be on the same page before your wedding day! For me, that means we will meet about a photo timeline to stay on track throughout your wedding day.
You don't have to worry about posing
It's also not your job to make sure you look BOMB in your photos! 'll tell you everything you need to do in front of the camera.
I'll figure out photo locations for you
It's not your job to worry about photo locations - it's mine! If your venue is local, I'll go + find a few options for you to choose from. If I'm traveling from out of town, I'll still use my resources (aka, Google Maps) to find some awesome spots for you.
i'll arrive early
This will help me get a feel for the set up of your venue + the lighting at the location. This time allows me to plan my shots & pick specific photo locations.

FAQ
Can we customize a package?
Yes—while I offer thoughtfully designed collections, I’m always happy to customize a package to best fit your vision and priorities. Every wedding day is unique, so we can adjust coverage, add-ons, or timing to create something that feels aligned with what matters most to you. My goal is to make the process feel seamless and tailored, while still delivering the full experience and quality I’m known for.
