We shoot what's actually happening.
Documentary-style wedding photography and video for couples who want the real day — not a performance of one.
We've been photographing weddings for eleven years — but we didn't come up through the wedding industry, and it shows in the best way.
Before this, we spent years working closely with people, paying attention, and helping them show up as themselves. That's still what we do. We're not here to pose you into a magazine shot or manufacture a moment that didn't happen. We're here to notice the real ones — the shaking hands, the inside joke, the quiet look across the room — and make sure they're not lost.
-
If your wedding is going to be big on personality and light on performance — if you and your partner are more DIY than fairytale — we're probably a good fit.
We're not the photographers for a heavily staged, magazine-style day. We're the ones for people who want their actual wedding remembered — the real one, with the people they love, doing the things they actually do.
-
We're there to pay attention, not to run the show. Our approach is simple: we listen, we observe, and we step in only when it's genuinely helpful.
That means giving light guidance when needed, staying out of the way when moments are unfolding naturally, and being fully present so nothing important is missed. Couples often tell us they forgot we were even there — and that's exactly the point.

Based in the DMV, available beyond it. Serving Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia — and open to travel for the right fit.
Collections typically range from $2,500–$3,500. Photography and video, bundled or separate, built around what your day actually needs.
We shoot a limited number of weddings each year. Not because we're exclusive for the sake of it — because staying fully present for every couple means we can't be everywhere.
We're a good fit for couples who...
Want their day documented, not staged
Care more about how it felt than how it looked
Are doing things their own way — DIY, unconventional, low on formality
Would rather forget we're there than perform for the camera
Explore Photo + Video Coverage
Photo and video together offer the most complete way to remember a wedding day—but only when they’re handled as one team.
At GMC Creative, photography and video are planned together from the start, which means fewer distractions, smoother timelines, and a more cohesive story. You get still images you can linger on and video that brings back voices, movement, and emotion—without competing crews or added stress.
Testimonials
“Working with Gabe was such a great experience. From the very beginning, my partner and I felt completely comfortable with him. He has a great eye and always comes up with creative, fun ideas that make the session feel natural and relaxed.
Gabe was with us for both our engagement photos and our civil ceremony, and in both cases he made the experience enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

“I used Gabe and Chela for my wedding and let me tell you, they were amazing! If you’re thinking, should I go with them or not? You really should! Don’t think twice! Our wedding photos were so beautiful. Great attention to detail, and captured all the special moments from our big day that was on our list and so much more! My husband and I were incredibly pleased and will be calling them again in the future!.”
