A must hire!

John & the Gabbelli Studios team we fantastic! We did both our engagement shoot and wedding with them, and I cannot rave enough about our experience. The attention to detail & planning for the day put my husband and I at ease that's each special moment we were hoping for was captured. The photos came out absolutely beautiful, and we could not be happier with our experience in working with them.

The BEST in the business! Hire them if you can!

There were many places I wanted to save when planning my wedding and the only thing I refused to change was my photographer. Gabelli Studios is the BEST in the business. John, Jim and Josh were AMAZING!! They helped set the tone for the whole day. The day turned out perfectly, John and team kept us on schedule. The team helped pose us and made me, my husband and everyone in the wedding party feel relaxed. If you can book them for your wedding DO IT NOW!
