being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage - lao tzu
an incredible day with another incredible couple. Della and Dino’s day was planned with the help from the amazing Terra Law with Inspired Occasions and it showed. beautiful details, a wonderful location and what seemed to be a favorite of many guests, a candy bar. thanks to both of you for allowing me to capture and witness your beginning and i wish you much love and happiness going forward.
slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you - john de paola
as our cameras improve beyond what many of us thought was possible only a few years ago, it seems many of us, myself included, are looking to go back to that imperfect perfection that certain cameras of the past provided us. the colors aren’t as saturated. the images aren’t so sharp you can count pours. but there is something very relaxing, comforting, even soothing when looking at an image created by what may now be considered an imperfect median. the colors are soft. the images are soft. the feeling is soft. and while i understand digital is here to stay…i will always have a love for warm, soft, inviting imagery created on imperfect formats (or maybe it is the perfect format)
all images created with the Polaroid 600 SE and a 127mm F4.7 lens
Jaime: These are comforting ... beautiful ... simple. :) Makes me long for San Fran ... maybe next month! 01.27.2010
Michael: Back to the basics - love it! 01.28.2010
David Jenkins: Amazing considering they're polaroids!! the one with the orange umbrella and the big white wall is stunning! 02.08.2010
a dream you dream alone is only a dream. a dream you dream together is reality - john lennon
a celebration everyone knew would happen. two people who have a connection that is incredible to witness. it was a day filled with laughter, tears of happiness and most importantly love. thank you for a wonderful day and i wish you much love and happiness as you now start down your path together.

a person can achieve everything by being simple and humble - rig veda
yesterday i received an email telling me that i had been chosen by weddingbells magazine as one the top 25 photographers in Canada. 2009 was an incredible year. it was a year of learning. a year of new friendships. a year of new additions. it was a year filled with amazing couples who invited me into their lives to share their story. to share their connection and their celebration with the world.
this recognition is because of them.
Noe Marinelli: awesome! congrats! 01.13.2010
Chris: I've always believed that what distinguishes Gabe's photos from other photographer's is that while they take pictures Gabe captures moments in time.

Carl: Congrats dude...well deserved. 01.27.2010
