I’m Gabriela Fuentes, and I’m a New York Wedding Photographer telling love stories through for sweet and happy couples. For those of you who want to know about me, what can I say? …. I’m easy going and I like to have fun with my brides. I’m a storyteller, and I read a bedtime story to my three year old every night. I love chocolate and I’m a spend more time in FB that I like to admit.

What makes you different than other wedding photographers? That’s easy, let me have my New York brides tell you:

Andrea and Vincent Central Park Engagement Photos

Andrea is from Singapore, and a few months ago, she emailed me about an engagement session in NYC. We have been emailing every since, and I have been enjoying her emails. She is so enthusiastic and outgoing, and put together the most amazing mood board for me, with information about them. So when I met them Andrea and Vincent at Central Park, it felt like we had know each other. They are fun and quirky, and we had a great time taking photos and pretending nobody is addicted to Pokemon Go!! Here are some of my favorite moments from their engagement session.

Chelsea and Roger Westmount Country Club Wedding Photos

Chelsea and Roger were recommended by my great friend Cliff Cooper, who photographed their friends wedding in Dominican Republic. Cliff is a talented photographer, so I had big shoes to fill. From the moment, I met Chelsea and Roger, it felt like we had been friends forever. We talked for hours, and I was so happy when they booked us because I could feel that they were a great couple. Chelsea is that girl who you just want to friends with, funny, beautiful and so down to earth and relaxed. Roger is just so kind, and from the very beginning, they trusted us, and welcomed us, which is essential because it allows us to just go in, be part of the day, of their joy, and document those moments that we love so much.

When I have such outgoing and fun couples, and they are having a Catholic ceremony, it can be challenging to balance the formalities of the religious ceremony with their more laid back personalities, but I like the challenge of finding that hidden smile or a private look among so many spectators, while keeping in mind the importance of the religious aspect of their wedding. For their wedding ceremony, they chose Saint Jude Parish in Budd Lake where Chelsea’s family are parishioners, and which means a lot to them. Their wedding reception was at the Westmount Country Club in Northern New Jersey, which is a bit of a drive, but thanks to planning and talking about how the day was going to unfold, and the options for portraits, everything went very smoothly, and we were right on time.

One of the things that many couples don’t know is that I spent days and days looking at their photos, selecting the best moments, and then obsessing over colors, and editing. Sometimes, I work for two weeks on just one wedding, and after so much time looking at them, I feel a connection to them. That is exactly the case, with Chelsea and Roger, they are such a joy to be around, that if I could invent photo sessions just to be around them and photograph them, I would!! I am so excited to share their wedding photos.

Special thanks to our wonderful team, and to Carolina who shot this wedding with me.

A Liberty House Wedding always makes me happy, and Noelle and Ryne Summer wedding was no exception. Noelle and Ryne are in the Military, and they planned their wedding on the 4th of July weekend. Noelle planned this day with so much love, and it shows in all the beautiful details she picked. From the caring gifts for her bridesmaids, to the beautiful romantic details that surrounded their wedding. They got married at a beautiful ceremony at Fordham University, and then headed back to Liberty House for their wedding reception. We were happy to capture their beautiful wedding day, and to share with them and their beautiful family and friends.

Priya and Justin Wedding Day 2 – The Imperia Wedding Photography

Priya and Justin had two days of wedding celebration. On day one, Priya and Justin were married in a Hindu ceremony at the Imperia to honor Priya and her family’s religion. On day two, they had a Catholic ceremony at St Mary’s Church Stony Hill to honor Justin’s family traditions. We were so excited to photograph both days for this sweet couple. Priya is one of the most stylish girls, and she looked absolutely stunning. We loved all her choices; from her elegant lace wedding gown, her Valentino shoes, which by the way, I wanted to bring home for myself, to her hairstyle, and all the pretty details she picked. This couple is madly in love, and we wish them a beautiful marriage.

Allison and Adam Wedding, Windows on the Water, Sea Bright, NJ

We met Allison and Adam in Central Park, NY, last fall, and as we walked through Central park photographing their engagement photos, I was captivated by their presence, and grace, and the kind and loving way they look at each other. Flash forward a few months, and the day arrived for their beach wedding at the Jersey Shore. Luckily, with all the rain we’ve had this summer, this one was one of the few days where the clouds cleared, and made way for a beautiful sunny day.

Allison and Adam got ready at Ocean Place in Long Branch, NJ where they decided to have their first look overlooking the ocean. The Jersey Shore is packed during the summer, specially during a warm sunny day, but we all made the best of it, and sometimes it felt like they had the whole beach for themselves. Right after their first look, we hopped on their trolly bus and headed to Windows on the Water, a beautiful venue right by the beach. We had only a few minutes for bride and groom portraits, but Allison and Adam are so great together, and they just let the moments flow. Here are some of my favorite moments from their wedding day. Many thanks to Nicole from Anna Soire who was a fabulous day-of wedding coordinator.

Amy and Paul wedding photos at The Harvard Club in New York City

A few weeks ago, we photographed Amy and Paul’s intimate wedding at the Harvard Club of New York City. The day started at the Harvard Club where they both got ready. Then, we headed to St. Jean Baptiste Church for a very moving and beautiful ceremony with only the closest of friends and family. A very intimate and elegant reception followed back at the Harvard Club. Amy and Paul, your love for each other is evident in every smile. We wish you the very best in your marriage!!

Amy and Paul gave a heartfelt speech thanking family and friends who traveled from China, Boston, all the way to New York City to attend their wedding.

Amy’s father flew in from China to attend his daughter’s wedding.

Sometimes, one has to be ready. I caught his photo as guest were clinking their glasses in a sign for guest to kiss.

Carly and Chris Liberty House Wedding Photos in Jersey City, NJ

Carly and Chris were referred to us by one of our previous couples, Jessie and Joe, which is such a big compliment. We met over coffee, and we were thrilled when they called us back to photograph their weddings at one of our favorite venues, Liberty House in Jersey City, NJ.

The day started at the Hyatt Hotel hotel where they were both getting ready. Right from the start, I knew it was going to be a fun wedding because I don’t remember a time I laughed so much during the getting ready. The whole family was just funny, nice, and united, and I know I say this a lot, but I just love my couples. Carly and Chris had decided to have a First Look right in front of the Hyatt Hotel overlooking NYC, and it was such a wonderful and beautiful moment. It’s always hard for me to balance respecting my clients emotions as Chris’ cried when he saw her for the first time, and documenting such a beautiful and intimate moment for them to look back. The way he saw her, and smiled at her, you can see their love. We then continued to Liberty State Park for their bridal portraits, and lucky for us, it had snowed a few days before, and snow on the grounds, gorgeous sunny day together with the views of NYC was the perfect combination for taking beautiful winter wedding photos.

Anna and Chris Liberty House Wedding Photos

We could not have asked for a better way to start our wedding season, than with Anna and Chris’ Valentine’s Day wedding at the Liberty House in Jersey City, New Jersey. Anna and Chris are the embodiment of the perfect couple. They are kind, sweet and madly in love with each other, and their wedding, simply put, was just perfect.

I met Anna on the morning of their wedding – she had booked us online-, and when I walked into her room at Hyatt Hotel, she immediately welcomed me with the biggest smile. Anna’s family, and bridesmaids were as kind as she was, which allowed us to blend right in as they were getting ready. TJ and her team from Blush Events was in charged of day-of coordinator, and they made sure the day run smoothly, snow and all. Anna and Chris had decided to have a First Look before their ceremony, and luckily for us, they were determined to brave the cold and have their first look right outside The Hyatt Hotel overlooking NYC. By the time we got to Liberty House in Jersey City , it had started snowing, but again, they were fierce, and we sneaked out for about five minutes. It’s funny how you forget how cold it was once you look at the photos, so I’m glad they ventured outdoors in the middle of February in NJ, which is no feast, but we were able to capture snap a few photos of them with the snow. Once, we were all cosy back in, their wedding was just perfection. The ceremony was filled with emotions and tears, and they dance and laughed, beer in hand, and they danced all night thanks to the talented Brian Kirk and the Jirks, who provided music and entertainment. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Liberty House Venue, one of our favorite venues in NJ, who always treat us so kindly.

We love photographing weddings, and being surrounded by wonderful couples and their families, and we always appreciate the trust they put in us to record such a special day in their lives. Enjoy their wedding photos.

Christin and Jeff Boston Engagement photos

Christin and Jeff are getting married in New Jersey later this year. Since Boston is the city where they currently live, they wanted their engagement photos to capture this time in their lives. They asked if we could travel to Boston, and we were thrilled to escape for a bit and meet them there. Although, we had visited Boston before on business trips, we never had the chance to explore this beautiful city, so this was the perfect opportunity.

I have to admit that this engagement session took a bit more planning and research than usual because I didn’t know any of the places Christin wanted to photograph, so I appreciate her trust in us. We arrived earlier and drove around town, and walked to scout the areas where we will be shooting. We want to thank them for braving the Boston weather during December, and for being so kind and welcoming.

Kelly and Ed are super special to me. They have been the greatest cheerleaders of our work, that words can’t describe how happy we were when their wedding day arrived. Kelly is the sweetest bride, and seeing how kind everyone was, made photographing their day even more special. Kelly and Ed married in a catholic ceremony at St. Anthony’s church in Hawthorne, a parish that is very dear their grandparents. After the ceremony, we headed to Valley Regency in Clifton, for their portraits and their reception, where they danced all night long.

Together, they make a beautiful and fun couple, and their wedding was a reflection of both of them!

Just because. Thank you to all our clients for making this year special!

I want to give a Big Thank you to our 2015 couples. Last year was a whirlwind. Between weddings, engagements, album designs, and trying to deliver more than 25,000 photos on time, blog posts where postponed until I had delivered the last wedding and the last album. Now that things are calmer, and winter finally arrived, I will be posting more blog posts. In the meantime, here are some of our beautiful couples of 2015 that I didn’t get to post.
