Absolute perfection and nothing less.
I was fortunate enough to have Gaia capture my most special day and was so blown away by the gallery I received. Her lovely fiancé, Warren, helped capture different angles which really made all the difference...there were some super special moments that didn't go missed.

Gaia got inspiration from my inspiration pictures and totally worked with it, if not, 10x better. The editing on each and every single picture is beautiful and you can literally see how much effort and attention to detail Gaia puts in....it's incredible.

My whole family were all so blown away when they went through the gallery (I'd like to note my family are hard to please!). I'm not sure how Gaia does it, but she manages to capture emotions, feelings and a story through the pictures she takes.

Gaia is so easy to work with too! (Which I believe is a must as there are so many horror stories of people having nightmares wedding photographers). She is so speedy at replying and listened to everything that I wanted.

I thought I'd cry on my wedding day but I didn't. Once I received our pictures, it was nothing but tears. (Happy tears as I couldn't believe someone could capture our day so well and perfectly)

Gaia is a wizard when it comes to photography, I couldn't recommend her enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, choose Gaia as you'll get so much more than a 'wedding photographer'. You'll have someone who knows what they're doing, someone who is in love with their job and someone you can trust to do the job.

Thank you Gaia for giving us our most special memories. (I can never say thank you enough)

Rachel Segal Hamilton said “A photograph is an attempt to touch the intangible. By recording an instant that would otherwise slip by, it transforms the transient into something lasting. And nothing is more difficult to grasp and define than love…”

Gaia and her team had an effortless way of capturing the smallest, most intimate moments that would otherwise have been forgotten. And curated a wedding album that is a living, breathing, work of art. We are so grateful to you for capturing our wedding day with so much soul and feeling.
Thank you x

They say your wedding day goes by so fast and it's so true but thanks to Gaia, every time I look at our photos I'm transported back. Gaia has managed to completely capture the day exactly, how it felt, how it looks - everything! I'm blown away by how beautiful the pictures are.

Before the wedding I was immediately put at ease. Gaia was always contactable, nothing was too much, so easy to get along with and so professional but friendly. Communication was excellent!

Then on the day, Gaia and Warren just slotted in so perfectly. They knew exactly what they needed to make everything look beautiful. I hate getting my picture taken but they both immediately put us at ease. One of our most frequent comments from our guests was actually how lovely they both are!

Then post-wedding, Gaia still kept us up to date on the gallery and how long things would take, which was much quicker than I expected.

I can't say enough good things about them both and I feel so so lucky to have had them with us to capture our day.

I recently had the pleasure of booking Gaia for both my engagement shoot and wedding photography in France, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. After what felt like an eternity searching for the perfect photographer, I finally found her and I'm so grateful that I did.

From the moment we met via facetime, Gaia showed professionalism and friendliness, instantly putting me at ease. As someone who tends to be reserved, I appreciated her gentle and non-pushy approach, which made me feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. It was evident that she understood how to direct us without being overbearing, resulting in photos that felt natural and authentic yet vogue worthy.

She managed to capture all the details and emotions, leaving us with a stunning collection of final photos that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our wedding day.

Quick shout out to her team, hosting them was an absolute pleasure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They went beyond and helped with much more than photography. If you're searching for a creative photographer who is able to deliver exceptional results, look no further.

Emily Astor, Bride

It was hard work finding a photographer in Europe whilst I’m all the way here in the US. Luckily, a friend of my in-laws introduced me to Gaia, and I instantly knew she was the right choice for our wedding. Choosing her turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Gaia and her fiancé Warren were a dream to work with. Her input in planning our photos prior was a lifesaver, we had such detailed discussions about every aspect of the wedding photos and how we want it to be and both my fiance and I couldn’t stop talking about how helpful that was. We had time to pause and plan our dream photos prior.

On the wedding day, they had everything covered: lighting assistants, a drone guy, a specialist just for the group shots, and a coordinator who made sure everything ran smoothly between the photography team and our planners. It was a level of professionalism that’s hard to come by. They made everything feel so effortless, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Gaia and Warren had such a calm, grounded presence that we never felt stressed for a second.

Controversial but one of the things I loved most about Gaia was that she wasn’t all over loud Instagram promotions or splashing her work in paid magazine ads. My family and I are extremely private and appreciate a more like low-key vibe, and wanted to feel exclusive.

And her photos? The way she captures real moments and genuine emotions is soo goood. Honestly, my mother in law and I almost want to keep her as our little secret, but her work deserves all the attention it gets.

WOW WOW WOW! Where do we start?

First of all, Gaia has this incredible vision that matches what we wanted for our wedding aesthetic. She understood the vibe that we were going for and she and Warren delivered way above and beyond than what we expected.

Pre-wedding: Gaia was very responsive in my messages and she asked really important questions to ensure we are on the same page - we appreciated that a lot! It's difficult to convey your vision into reality but Gaia nailed it!

Wedding: To have Gaia and Warren as our wedding photographer / videographer made us feel at ease and stress-free during our wedding day. We got to focus to be in the moment and truly enjoying our wedding while Gaia and Warren capture our special day!

Post-wedding: The delivery of our photos was wayyyy wayyyy sooner than we anticipated so it was a nice surprise!! The compliments we got on our wedding photos were unreal... but we all say "We had an amazing team... and they were worth every penny!!!!"

Gaia was so good that we even told our wedding venue to collaborate with her as one of their official vendors for any future events... (they were so impressed with how the photos turned out and they want to look into this!!!)

We just received our edited wedding highlights video and we can't wait to watch it with some wine and reminisce our special day. We really couldn't ask for more!

We feel like 5 stars wouldn't be enough... as what they did and delivered was way more than 1000000x stars!!!

If you're looking for a professional, visionary, and genuine photographer and videographer - Gaia won't let you down!

Jayde Roberts, Bride

Accepted Answer

Gaia is incredibly talented! I hadn't fully appreciated the significance of having a female photographer until the bridal prep began. She was the 5th bridesmaid I didn’t realise I had. Gaia's presence was not only reassuring but also added an extra layer of comfort during such an emotional time. Her professionalism was top-notch, and she seamlessly integrated with the guests, capturing every precious moment of our day (boss lady)! From the nervous laughter to the joyful tears, Gaia immortalized it all in her photos. Chris and I are immensely grateful for her dedication in making our day truly unforgettable.

Question 9

Liz Anderson, Mother of the Bride

Accepted Answer

I was really thrilled with the photos taken by Gaia at the recent summer wedding of my daughter Sophie in Provence, France. The church and wedding venue were already spectacular but it takes a special wedding photographer to really create some magical moments among all this natural beauty that are forever a unique memory of the day. I’ve seen many wedding photos from friends and family over the years and I loved that Gaia brought a fresh and modern approach to capturing the occasion. No gimmicky photography, just pure class.

She is so humble and kind and deserves the world. Thank you Gaia for giving us such beautiful memories that we will treasure forever.

Would highly recommend Gee as your wedding photographer. She was super discreet and captured shots that were so representative of the vibe of our day - lots of fun laughter but also romance. She has a real knack for capturing those candid shots full of emotion. I was absolutely blown away by the speed at which she was able to share not only beautiful photos but also video highlight reels in the days after the wedding and some of her reels were AMAZING - so creative (check out her instagram). Thank you Gee!
