Born and raised in Massachusetts, Gabby spends her free time creating wonky cups and bowls at her local ceramics studio and living a cabin in the woods of Maine.
Gabby is inspired by creative couples who are seeking to be fully present during their celebrations and want intentional yet relaxed, candid-forward documentation of their events and the guest experience. She hopes to move through wedding days with a unobtrusive presence, relying on her sense of timing and years of experience to honor the people and the moments that make every celebration unique.
She mixes a variety of mediums on the job, including 35mm, medium format, digital, super8mm and 16mm.

If you choose to work with me you're hiring a new pal who is committed to telling your story, however wonderful and a little weird it may be. I believe weddings aren't about hosting the "perfect" day or taking the perfect photo, but about human to human connection. Ordinary people, ordinary things, coming together for a split second to form something extraordinarily important.
I feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with such kick-ass, open-minded, non-traditional couples, families, and businesses every single day. The ones who do things a little different, carve their own path in life, and own it. I'd like to think that's a pretty good description of the way I do things too.
At Gabby Riggieri Photography, there is no discrimination against any kind of love or celebration. I welcome all clients who feel drawn to my work, regardless of race, disability, gender identity, sexual identity, religion, etc. Extravagant event or an intimate one, overflowing florals or a bouquet picked from your backyard. All variations of a wedding day are beautiful, personal, and worthy of being documented.
"Gabby was everything we dreamed of and more for a wedding photographer! Perhaps most importantly, we were able to trust her completely. This trust let us stay in the moment the whole day, without worrying if a specific moment would be captured or if we looked good. We had been taken with Gabby’s portfolio and how her photos captured the unique and genuine joy and love in each couple’s day without seeming posed. In fact, one thing we loved most about working with her is that we didn’t have to pose - Gabby has the artistic skill and keen instinct to find the beautiful moments already in your day and capture them."
"We cannot recommend Gabby enough... she is truly one of the most talented photographers we have ever experienced. She has this rare and innate ability to capture the pure essence, joy and authenticity of every moment. Not only did she capture our day beautifully but she put us and our family at ease the entire day. She felt like an extension of our family which also rang through in her pictures."
"We truly cannot speak highly enough about Gabby. From the first phone call to receiving our wedding album, the experience was wonderful. Her photos, the super8 video, and everything we’ve ordered since (album, prints) have been just perfect. Gabby’s photos completely captured us as a couple and simultaneously feel like art. Aside from the amazing output, Gabby and her team are just extremely fun and easy to work with. On our wedding day, they were warm, relaxed, and hyped us up and kept us laughing the whole time!"
"We hired Gabby for photography and Super 8mm for our November wedding and it was the BEST decision. Gabby and her team are talented artists with unmatched energy. Gabby’s style is singular and stunning, and she is incredibly fun and easy to work with. It is hard to find words grand enough to thank Gabby and her team properly - we are so beyond grateful to them for capturing our wedding day so magically. If you want artful, interesting, and beautiful photos of your venue and loved ones we highly recommend booking with Gabby."
"We were looking for a photographer with a strong creative perspective, and we specifically did NOT want wedding photos to feel like the slick, gleaming, perfectly posed generic portraits that seemed to invade our feeds. Gabby is a master at her craft and a master professional. She was clear from the moment we started working together about how to get the best out of this creative partnership. She was fun, laidback, and interested in us. We have been absolutely blown away by our final gallery and super 8 film from Gabby. It is exactly what we hoped for - a seemingly raw and unfiltered but utterly beautiful snapshot of a moment in time.
"GABBY IS A MASTER AT HER CRAFT"
Gabby has extensive experience photographing weddings of all sizes for over 10 years, and attended Massachusetts College of Art and Design for photography. She has dedicated countless hours on and off the job to learning the in's-and-out's of her cameras, which allows her to effortlessly shift between mediums throughout an event.
All weddings and elopements include a mixture of 35mm, medium format, and digital photography.
"A SEEMINGLY RAW AND UNFILTERED BUT UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL SNAPSHOT OF A MOMENT IN TIME"
Gabby met her partner Justin while at art school (they connected after the fact), and she has since roped him in as the video guy. All super8/16mm films are shot with Justin at the helm, and then carefully edited, color corrected, and set to music once the reels are processed at the lab.
