I could talk for days about Carolina & Andre's super intimate, and elegant wedding but I will keep it short & sweet. Carolina & Andrea chose her parents ranch ad their wedding venue and they had the venue decorated with modern chic style. Their day was filled with love and laughter. If someone asked me how would I describe Jenna & Vijay's wedding in one word?! Stunning!
Telling your love story through the lens of my camera is my passion. My mission is to make this special day calm and fun, and capture your big moments well beyond your expectations. Whether you are looking for a photographer to capture your special day or capture the special moments of your journey becoming a mom, the most important thing is finding the right photographer.

We did our maternity photo shoot with Gia.It was my first maternity photo shoot, and she captured all special movements in the photos. She responded very well to my all questions about photo shoot.Gia is most affordable and reasonable compared to other photographers in Bay Area.
She is most patient and attentive photographer. We loved our maternity photo shoot.I look forward to working with her again.

Your search for a great photographer ends here! Gia is an incredible person who went above and beyond to capture all the special moments on our wedding day. She put us at ease straight away and we truly admired her patience, kindness and photography skills. The photos couldn't have turned out more amazing and she even provided a link to the sneak peak within a day! Gia is a gem of a person and we would highly recommend her for any types of photo shoots. Thank you once again, Gia. Hope to work with you again for any future special events :)

Gia, I first want to say how Humble, sweet and kind she is!!!! I was looking for a cool photographer for my maternity photoshoot and I found Gia trough a friend's suggestion. Since than she became our family photographer, she did my baby's newborn, 1/2half bday photo-shootings! And i was very satisfied each one of them. She puts her heart in her work and deeply cares about your needs! 5stars from our family!

Every couple of years, we do a family photo shoot. Often we ask a friend, or do it ourselves. And while these pictures usually turn out OK, they just don't have the je ne sais quoi one gets when hiring a good professional photographer.
But how to find a good professional photographer? That's always been the question, one that we grapple with till it's too late and then we settle for a DIY or a phone-a-friend photo shoot.

We are new to town, and looking for a photographer for a family photo shoot for our holiday cards. We found Gia through Yelp quote process. Gia responded quickly every time I had a question, and she was super nice every time! She was a delight to work with and pictures came out super great. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

Highly recommend booking Gia for any and all special occasions. Gia comes in with a vision that she is able to articulate to her clients in a way that allows them to agree or suggest tweaks as they see fit. She takes her time to understand the agreed upon concept and works closely with the client to execute on it. She is patient, sympathetic, and super easy to work with.
If you want to beautifully capture every moment of your special event, call Gia!

I don't know where to start. Gia is so Amazing! She captured our one year anniversary photos, she is easy to work with, she listens and she gets it. She is totally someone I would recommend for any special events or just capturing a special moment call Gia. I usually never write on yelp but for this I had to. Thank you Gia for capturing our special moments. Hugs Sana

We recently reached out to Gia again for our yearly family photo shoot. We've worked with her a few times now and truly love the photos she takes for us but most importantly her effort. She's great at posing us, especially the little ones. She's extremely creative and we always have fun when working with her. She knows how to handle kids - she might be a kid-whisperer because our kids can be a handful at time. I truly recommend to everyone and anyone that needs their photos taken.

I contacted Gia the very last minute before my wedding n she somehow managed to take my booking. She is super accommodating and a great photographer. I'm more than satisfied with my Pre wedding shoot. She delivers raw as well as enough edited pictures for your D-dat. Also she suggests some really good poses & goes extra mile! Thank You once again Gia!
I definitely recommend her!

I finally got some time to write this review and I feel like the review was way overdue.
Gia photographed our wedding last year and it was best choice we made for our wedding. The photos came out so good that we referred Gia to so many people already. We got sneak peek photos after three days of wedding. She never promised us to send the sneak peek but we got more than enough photos to share in our social media account and as well as with friends&family.
Thank you so much for the amazing photos, Gia.

Where can I start. Gia is one of the best photographers I've worked with. She's very patient and easy to work with. We have family out of the country and not everyone could make it on the original date we wanted and Gia was nice enough to accept our date change a month before the event. The entire process was super easy and she's been very flexible with us. Just three days after our event, Gia send us a sneak peek with about 50 amazing photos. Within two weeks of receiving the Sneak Peek, we received all of the other edits. She's a great photographer and it shows in the photos

We did our 2 years anniversary photoshoot with Gia. She is very patient and she knows what kind of photos we wanted. We had our engagement photoshoot with someone else before but we really didn't like it. My wife and I are so happy with the photos and couldn't thankful enough for the special rate that she provided us with. Definitely planning for more photo sessions with her in the future. Already refered her to my cousin's and coworkers.
