Thank you so much for stopping by. I’m a wedding photographer specializing in artistic, documentary-style wedding photography. Based in the Northeast, I’ve been pursuing photography for over 20 years, with nearly a decade focused specifically on weddings. I currently shoot 35mm film and digital. I’m especially drawn to vibrant, colorful celebrations, unconventional souls, and couples who value honest, and creative imagery. I also have a small collective of artists working under me for the remainder of 2025-2026 please see the about section to learn more. We serve couples in New York, Philadelphia, The Poconos, Eastern Pennsylvania, And NJ. Always willing to travel for connections that feel good.

Wedding Photographer

At this point, it feels like I’ve been shooting photography my whole life. I can’t really remember a time when it didn’t play a significant role in who I am. Even as a kid, I was enamored by it and loved those disposable underwater cameras.

My passion deepened in my twenties, when photography became a more serious art form for me. I spent that decade immersed in the NYC underground photo scene, cultivating my craft and honing my eye. Much of my time was devoted to self-portraits and intimate portraits of the artists and community I was surrounded by. I consider myself an artist above all else, maybe even out of necessity. The ability to create art drives my soul and inspires me.

I came to weddings by chance in 2016, through a Craigslist ad of all places. I spent five years working for a NYC-based elopement company, helping them during their inception stage. When the world came to a halt in 2020, it gave me space to pause and reflect. I decided that moving forward I wanted to work only for myself, and I fully committed to this wild wedding world. Over the last decade, I believe my wedding photography has grown and deepened in powerful ways. I’m extremely proud to say the work I’m doing defies industry standards in fundamental and meaningful ways. Most importantly, I’m here to support couples on their wedding journey as a bystander, not the center. My goal is to capture events as they are and to give people the freedom to experience their weddings without the pressure of performing for the ’gram, the pose, or the show.

Life is meant to be lived in the present, and it’s something we’re losing in our current culture.

Today, I offer both 35mm film and digital. I carry many point-and-shoot film cameras alongside my two digital bodies. I believe film is powerful in the way it captures reality, similar to how the mind remembers it: imperfect, fractured, dreamlike. This is why we keep coming back to film, time and time again. No matter how many updates are made in the tech world, humans crave things that feel real and give them a sense of home.

In addition to photography, I hold a master’s degree in counseling from NYU. I live in the Poconos with my husband, Ralph, an arborist, and our two kids, Luchiana and Odin. Our free time is spent finding new adventures for our family, local farmers markets connecting with the native community of this land, going to pow wows, supporting friends music, art, and trying to be outside as much as we can.

Testimonials

I cannot say enough good things about Gianna. Her documentary-style vibe was the perfect fit for our more laid-back elopement + party. We never wanted anything to feel forced or cheesy. She has genuinely mastered the art of taking authentic and real pictures that are still so beautiful.
Not only is her work amazing, but she made everything feel so comfortable and easy. We all genuinely had a blast running around all over NEPA taking photos. It was a truly magical day and Gianna played a huge role in that.

Kait and Jerry

We were so lucky to have our wedding shot by Gianna! She was super responsive from day 1, easy to collaborate with, and made us feel extremely comfortable and natural in front of the camera! And, of course, the film and digital shots came out beautifully. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone out there looking for natural, “documentary” style photographs 🙂 (also: she is super cool herself! Great person to hang with!)

Isabel and Daniel

Gianna is the perfect photographer for couples seeking a relaxed experience. You can truly be yourself, enjoy your day, and trust that she will capture the significant moments and all the little details that you may not even realize matter so much. She is a serious artist and a genuinely kind human. We felt incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our special day.

Karl and Karen

“WOW! We could not recommend Gianna enough as a wedding photographer. The day of Gianna was fun, professional, and helped us make the most of every shot. She seems to have an eye for finding the perfect shot wherever we went throughout Brooklyn and knew where to take us to find interesting street art and views. She brought a positive vibe and great energy throughout. If you are looking for fun and unique shots, look no further!”

Gabby & Tom

“Gianna is a master of her craft & an all around incredible person who we are *so* grateful to have gotten to work with. Planning to have a tiny wedding ceremony in 2020 was a rollercoaster, but the stars really aligned when we found Gianna. Her photojournalistic style is so special; she captured us, our day, and the neighborhood we love so beautifully. Our wedding was very intimate, and Gianna fit right in & made us all feel at ease. It was a privilege to work with such a passionate and talented artist whose unique vision we could trust implicitly. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your day in a way you will treasure forever – seriously look no further! Each image is such a gift. We can’t thank you enough, Gianna!”

Dylan & Jordan

“Gianna was such an amazing part of our wedding. She was so flexible, accommodating, and friendly. Everyone loved her work. She first shot an engagement shoot with us and after that we knew we wanted her for the wedding. Those photos were a hit and everyone wanted to know who shot us. She was attentive when taking shots guiding us to get the most flattering ones and patient when we needed breaks or weren’t feeling the shots. She’s super down to earth and intuitive. We have her bookmarked for any future events and gave her info out to guests as well.”

“Gianna was brilliant I’m so happy we chose her to photograph our wedding. She was very flexible with timings (even last minute changes on the morning of) and made us feel relaxed and ourselves. My favorite thing is that she shot on film and digital, so special to have both mediums. She’s truly a master of her craft and a wonderful human. Thanks Gianna for giving us the best memories to keep forever”

Olivia & David

“So when you elope from Tennessee to have your wedding in NYC you want the best of everything; the best location, the ceremony, and the best photographer, and that is what we had! Gianna made our wedding a true fairytale! Gianna brought the city to us! Our photos were so unique and creative. We had so much fun traveling around the city that she knows so well. She captured the brilliance and magic of her New York and shared it with us, making our day so very special. The photos bring back the feel of day to us each time we see them.”

Lucy & Gary

“Gianna was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her passion, charisma, and energy really shines in her elopement photography. Her attention to detail and professionalism really blew us away. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our New York City wedding. Gianna has a strong knowledge of the city and knew all of the best places to take stunning photos. Our family and friends could not get over how well our photos turned out and thought they should be featured in magazines! We will always have such vivid memories from our special day whenever we look at Gianna’s photos. Thank you for everything Gianna!”

Chris & Gillian

“Sometimes thank you doesn’t seem enough. You amazed us. When we first booked our wedding we had our fingers crossed we’d get to have you as our photographer and we can’t tell you how happy we were when we got you! Your passion and love for what you do shines through. It’s so lovely to watch someone who has truly found their unique talent in this world. We know every photo you took could not have been taken by anyone else. Our photos are beautiful, you’ve captured our happiest moments and turned them into something so special for us and our family. Thank you for everything – you are one of a kind. “
