    Stunning photos!

    Gabriele was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. Photography was one of our top priorities. We initially chose her because of her artistic, documentary style. We wanted our wedding day captured in a way that went beyond the traditional posed photographs. Gabriele struck the balance of capturing all of the best moments while also creating art.

    Gabriele was very easy to work with. She responded promptly to emails and provided information in a timely manner. Our package included an engagement session, which turned out beautifully. Having never done a photo shoot before, Gabriele was wonderful at guiding us, posing us in natural ways. Leading up to the wedding, Gabriele was great about staying in touch, and making sure she had all of the details.

    The wedding itself couldn’t have gone better. Gabriele and her second photographer did an incredible job capturing the day. All of our photos turned out so beautiful, and honestly feel like they came out of a magazine. As two introverts, we also appreciated Gabriele’s quiet, behind the scenes nature. It never felt like Gabriele was intruding into our private moments. Many guests complimented her after the wedding, saying watching her work was one of their favorite parts of the day.

    We got our photos back way sooner than expected (under 3 weeks), which was amazing. I’m not even sure we can pick a favorite out of all of the photos Gabriele took. All in all, we had a great experience with Gabriele and we highly recommend!

    Just the right photo package for our small ceremony

    We had a really small, immediate-family-only ceremony because of the pandemic. There are only so many posed group photos that you can do with 8 people, so we were looking for a documentary-style photographer who could capture all the little moments before, during and after the ceremony and offered small packages (since we are saving the reception part for next year when it's safe). We initially got the 3-hour package, but she was super flexible about adding an extra hour when things took longer than anticipated. We got our photos yesterday and they are just beautiful! I can't stop looking at our happy faces and remembering what a joyful day it was.

    Professional, Stylish, Delightful. Perfect.

    Gabriele and her assistant, Noni, were INCREDIBLE. They are professional, have great eye for good photos, and are a delight to work with. My wife and I could not be happier with the service we received or the photos we have to cherish and remember our wedding day. You will not be disappointed. I give my highest highest recommendation to Gabriele and her team! If we have another big event, we will definitely want to hire them again!

    We are more than happy with our pictures!

    Friend of mine recommend for us Gabriele Stonyte Photography. I loved her photography style so I booked her, praying that my wedding pics would come out decent since I don't think I photograph very well in pictures. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience with Gabriele. She is super nice and very laid back. My husband and I were so nervous to be in front of the camera but she managed to make us more relax and feel comfortable. She is punctual, if not early actually and that's important to us. We also were lucky to receive our weeding pics within less than 3 weeks!! I was expecting to get our pictures back within 5-8 weeks but we received them early! I think she read my mind and knew how I was impatiently waiting for them. lol Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful! Gabriele went over and beyond our expectations. We love them so much that we wish we can blow them all up into big canvas size pictures! Gabriele is truly a talented photographer and we are very happy that we booked her for our wedding. We look forward to working with her again in the near future. Thanks again, Gabriele for capturing these beautiful photos for us.

    Highly recommend

    We hired Gabriele on a recommendation from a friend and after my own wedding I could not recommend her high enough to anyone looking for a top class wedding photographer. Gabriele was a pleasure to have around for the whole day. While always remaining extremely professional Gabriele worked really good to be sure to never miss an important moment. After the wedding she provided us with a complete visual recap of our day with stunning images using various photographic techniques including excellent images of the ceremony and a mix of posed images of everything else. Having found out in advance exactly what type of photos we like, many of the photos were taken when we didn't even realize she was around and they are the ones that we really love the most! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, Gabriele is a perfect choice.

    We loved the pictures!

    The quality of the photos was absolutely spectacular! Gabriele is a delight to work with and makes you feel so comfortable. Both my husband and I have large families and she worked the crowd well. We loved the pictures she sent and how speedy she was getting them back to us. We feel and look beautiful, which is just how it should be for your wedding! She did our engagements, bridals, first-look, and wedding day photoshoots, but I like how she puts everything in a story from the beggining till the end. Also she captured every single detail which was very important to us, because my friend who’s getting starting as a wedding planner will have so many beautiful pictures. I’m glad that we found her, I will decently reccomend her to my friends!

    Perfect photoshoot

    Gabriele is an amazing photographer that captured memories that we will be able to enjoy for years to come. When we first found Gabriele, it was a few weeks before our wedding, after our previous photographers had suddenly canceled on us. Shocked and in the middle of panic, we were referred to her by a family member who found her work through a professional reference. We immediately fell in love with her style; both the color and black and white photos in her portfolio. After reaching out, we received a response almost immediately, and it set the tone for our whole interaction with Gabriele. She was polite, professional, and willing to work with us given our situation. She offered us a very fair price that we found affordable. Fast-forward to the day of, and still, we can only praise her professionalism. She showed up on time and ready to work. She caught moments that we wanted and many that we didn't think of. She has an amazing eye for candid shots. We ran into a slight hiccup during our First Look. There was a small disagreement about the location of the first look due to lighting issues. We had to emphasize that we really wanted our First Look in one location, while Gabriele suggested another. We understood that she was concerned that the spot we wanted had a lot of extra shadows, and they could have a negative impact on the shots, but we had to be firm about our decision as this is what we had previously communicated to be the plan. The final product turned out perfect. Whether she was able to manage shots within the light or did some magic in the post-event touch-ups, we'll never know, but the pictures are perfect! From ceremony to reception, she took so many gorgeous pictures. We knew she was there but looking back we can't remember when or where. That's exactly how I want to remember it. The pictures were taken, but the photographer was not disruptive at all! There are signs that Gabriele is still perfecting her craft. The day of the wedding she was a bit soft-spoken, making it difficult to hear and understand her when she communicated what she wanted us to do. We found that we were sometimes posing ourselves or trying to find spots that would best work for the photos. We wanted to see her more comfortable with us as clients. We would have liked for her to lead that part of the photo session more, as sometimes clients can be a little chatty and all over the place. She is an excellent photographer who needs to work a little more on communicating her own vision for the photographs, in that moment. Sometimes that means showing more control over the crowd. As stated before, the final product was a collection of beautiful and timely photographs. It only took her 11 days to get us the preview of our gallery, highlighting a few dozen images from the wedding. The very next day we had our full gallery available to us. Gabriele even followed-up and asked if we had any changes or edits that we wanted. Within 3 days we had the edits and they look amazing. The gallery was simple to use and included downloadable high-res and web-res format photos. Sharing and downloading on any device was so easy. In the end, we have nothing but great things to say about Gabriele and her photography! A fantastically beautiful final product that is worth every penny. We would definitely recommend her to anyone considering using her for her services.

    My husband and I were faced with a mini crisis when the photographer we had initially chosen was unable to cover our wedding. In our search for a wedding photographer we came across Gabriele Photography and are extremely happy we did. Within minutes we were on the phone talking to the Gabriele who answered all our questions. Choosing her was one of the easiest and BEST decisions we made for our wedding. She captured the most beautiful moments that we will treasure forever. I will definitely recommend her to all couples searching for a photographer that truly invests in their customers and cares 100% about making lasting memories as much as the bride and groom does.
