Paying close attention to light and motion, we love how she documents portraits, moments, and our details in a timeless yet very personal way.”

“Gayle has a gift for capturing the effervescent joy and sincere emotion of the day.

Gathering Events: Heather Barrie and Mary Ruth Miller

She puts you at ease, so that you are present and can relish in every minute of your wedding day. She provides direction but in the most subtle ways. Gayle has a creative eye. She notices and captures the design details, as well as those candid moments between you, your groom, family and friends.”

“We often explain to our clients the importance of a great photographer. Gayle is just that.

Susie & Rivers Patterson: bride and groom

“We are still absolutely floating in the glow of our wedding weekend.

The images you captured are not only beautiful, but also illustrate the spirit of the day so well. From the emotions felt as my parents and I walked towards Rivers in the Cathedral, to the pure joy and elation we felt processing out, to the beauty of the cocktail hour and reception spaces, to the sweaty mess of fun had on the dance floor - the photos you took provide more than just a snapshot of a time and place. They so perfectly capture our emotions and bring us back to those memories in such a visceral way. So much of that is due to your natural style of shooting that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. But it's also because you were able to so beautifully capture ALL moments of the day - both big and small. It's seeing those in between moments on film that really brings us back to the joy of the day, and we are eternally grateful for that.”

Bride & Groom: Paige and Kevin, Amelia Island 

Planning a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic came with many uncertainties but Gayle was the one constant we could always depend on. During some of our most intimate and special moments, Gayle was nothing but warm, compassionate and respectful and I couldn't have imagined a better team to have by our side. Thank you for not only capturing the most important day of our lives but for making our entire wedding planning process stress free and one we'll never forget!"

“Hiring Gayle was far and away the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process.
