Images that Look and

Feel like you


When you look at your wedding gallery, I want you to remember how the day felt. The beauty that comes from the emotions and energy you bring to each moment will shine in each photograph.

A day you'll never forget

Photographs are memories that you can hold in your hands. Your wedding day will be made up of hundreds of small, significant moments and details. When the day comes, indulge your authentic selves, stay present and express your joy without holding back.  


Are you camera shy?

Maybe you don't enjoy being the center of attention or suffer from social anxiety. You might even have complicated familial dynamics. I'm here for you. I'll advocate for your photography goals on your big day while protecting your emotional wellbeing. You don't have to perform for the camera. Be yourself and be present in the moment.

"From our first conversation we knew Gernelle was the one. . . "

"She paid attention to what was important to us and coordinated everything so we didn’t have to stress about what our photos would look like. We are forever grateful for her expertise and loving spirit."

"Thank you a thousand times Gernelle. You found a way to turn a parking lot into a backdrop that made the pictures look beautiful and professional. You were so incredibly organized and on top of things the entire time. I can't imagine anyone else shooting my wedding."
