Hi, I'm Gabrielle.
Photographer. Professional third wheel. Occasional dress fluffer & florist. Very committed road-trip passenger.
I’m based between Tennessee and Michigan, but if your story takes us somewhere else, my camera and I travel pretty well.
My photography is romantic, story-driven, and a little adventurous, but the experience matters just as much to me as the final images.
I’m the photographer who will help you figure out the timeline, scout the location, steam a dress if we have to, tell you where the best light is hiding, and make sure you actually have time to enjoy the person you’re marrying.
I don’t want your wedding day to feel like a production.
I want it to feel like you.
And years from now, I want your photographs to bring every bit of it rushing back.
FOR THE WIDLY IN LOVE & READY FOR ADVENTURE
Romantic, story-driven photography for couples who care more about how their day feels than following every wedding tradition.
Maybe your dream looks like vows tucked away in the Smoky Mountains.
Maybe it’s everyone you love packed onto a dance floor.
Maybe it’s just the two of you, somewhere beautiful, doing things completely your own way.
However you choose to get married, I’m here for the real stuff.
The shaky hands. The belly laughs. The wind catching your veil. The quiet look between you when everyone else disappears for a second.
Because the best photos don’t just show you what your day looked like.
They bring you right back to how it felt.
WEDDINGS
The traditions you love. None of the ones you don’t.
Big wedding, tiny wedding, backyard wedding, mountaintop wedding...
There’s no single way your day is supposed to look.
I’ll help you build photography into your day without making your wedding feel like one long photoshoot. You’ll get direction when you need it, space when you don’t, and photographs filled with the people, details, chaos, happy tears and tiny moments that made the day yours.
Full-Day Wedding photography beginning at $3,200
ELOPEMENTS
Less pressure. More meaning. Maybe a mountain or two.
Eloping doesn’t have to mean running away in secret.
It can mean slowing down.
Choosing a place that means something to you. Spending the morning drinking coffee in a cabin. Saying your vows beside a waterfall. Bringing your closest people along. Hiking somewhere beautiful. Going out for tacos afterward.
Your elopement gets to be an entire experience, not just a ceremony.
And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
I can help with locations, timelines, permits, lighting, vendors, backup plans, and all the little things you didn’t even know you needed to think about.
You bring the love story.
I’ll help with the rest.
PHOTOS THAT LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
A DAY THAT FELT EVEN BETTER.
I’m not here to turn you into professional models.
Actually, please don’t worry about knowing what to do with your hands.
I’ll guide you when you need it, fix the weird piece of hair, fluff the dress, chase the good light, and probably tell you to move closer to each other about seventeen times.
But when something real is happening?
I step back.
Because I want your gallery to have the beautiful portraits you’ll hang on your walls and the moments you didn’t even realize I caught.
The way your mom looked at you.
Your partner trying not to cry.
The absolute nonsense your wedding party was doing behind me.
Your grandparents dancing.
The wind, the movement, the imperfect little pieces of the day that someday become the parts you miss the most.
TENNESSEE, MICHIGAN & BEYOND
A little adventure looks good on you.
From the Smoky Mountains to the shores of Michigan and wherever else you decide to wander, I’m always ready to go somewhere worth remembering.
Tennessee
Smoky Mountains • Knoxville • Sevierville • Gatlinburg • Maryville • Tellico Plains + beyond
Michigan
Detroit • The Thumb • Northern Michigan • The Upper Peninsula + beyond
Somewhere Else?
Even better.
Destination elopements are always welcome.
No travel fees for weddings and elopements throughout Tennessee and Michigan.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS YET.
Maybe you know exactly where you’re getting married.
Maybe all you know is:
“We want mountains.”
That’s enough to start.
When you work with me, you’re not just booking someone to show up with a camera.
Depending on what you need, I can help with:
• Location ideas and scouting
• Elopement permits
• Timeline planning
• Lighting and privacy recommendations
• Vendor recommendations
• Backup plans for weather
• Outfit and detail guidance
• Making your day actually feel like the two of you
You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect wedding plan before reaching out.
We can figure it out together!
YOUR STORY DOESN’T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ANYONE ELSE’S.
It can be loud.
Quiet.
Traditional.
Completely untraditional.
Forty people in a cabin.
Two people on a mountain.
Two hundred people dancing until midnight.
There’s room here for all of it.
If you care more about how your wedding feels than how it’s “supposed” to look, I have a feeling we’re going to get along.
Let’s make something that feels like you.
