Amazing photographers!

I could not recommend Gala Photo and Films enough. Gia's energy really loosened us up for the photos, and she made the whole experience so fun and natural for two people who never have their photos taken. She went so above and beyond, from prompt, professional communication through the whole process all the way to even helping me down to the location after my heel broke off! On top of that, the photos were absolutely flawless from the poses she suggested to the angles to the editing. And they were delivered way earlier than I expected to top off the amazing experience. THANK YOU Gia - You are the best!

Best couple photographers ever

Marc & Gia was wonderful to work with! We did our wedding in the mountains of Lake Tahoe and they perfectly picked the best spots where the light shined. They were easy to communicate with before the day of and throughout the process. Their work is truly art, it’s absolutely stunning and they did not disappoint with our photos and videos. Marc & Gia can read each other’s mind and they are great at directing and posing us and they made it feel so natural. I cannot recommend them enough, though their work speaks for itself!
