Meet Gabrielle

Just like you, I am deeply enamored by the allure of romantic adventures and the exquisite beauty of our world. My passion for capturing extraordinary photography for my clients stems from my love for exceptional storytelling, as every picture speaks a thousand words. Having explored Northern California and other parts of the world during my own travels, I intimately understand the beauty of these unforgettable journeys, especially when these trips are to commemorate a brand-new life chapter. I acknowledge that your search for a photographer is not just about finding someone who is capable of documenting your event but about entrusting your once-in-a-lifetime moment to someone who shares your values, vision, and excitement for creating a timeless narrative for you to enjoy for years to come.

Destination wedding photographer in Napa Valley

Gabrielle Pellegrino Photography has its roots in bringing romantic tales to life through my lens.

I am Gabrielle, a passionate photographer on a journey fueled by love, artistry, and the power of storytelling. As a child model, I was captivated by the opulence and beauty depicted in fashion magazines. This fascination inspired me to explore the world of photography, creating scenes that exude romance and evoke emotions, just like the editorial spreads that once enamored me. In my early twenties, I had the extraordinary opportunity to work for a clothing company, where I immersed myself in the world of social media and advertising. It was during this time that I discovered the incredible ability of art to uplift, inspire, and make people feel good. It became the essence of my work. Traveling the world became my muse, as I organized captivating photo shoots in breathtaking locations. This not only allowed me to gain invaluable experience in planning and capturing unique moments, but also facilitated the formation of meaningful connections with fellow creatives. And it was during one of these journeys that I discovered the spellbinding allure of Lake Tahoe in 2019, a place that captured my heart and has become my cherished home ever since. Drawing upon my deep-rooted knowledge in yoga and my empowering experiences in art direction, I bring a unique perspective to my photography. Each image is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, guided by the belief that love, adventure, and romance are the true essence of life's most cherished moments. As fate would have it, my passion and dedication were recently honored with the prestigious Best Photographer award in the 2023 Best of Tahoe. This recognition further fuels my commitment to creating breathtaking imagery that resonates with your heart and soul.
