About

NON-TRADITIONAL WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE WILD SPIRITS

SEXY + FUN EDITORIAL 
PHOTOGRAPHY

where laidback meets luxury

Generic, overdone + trending wedding photography? We don't know her. A collaborative and creative process that welcomes your ideas with open arms? Oh, you called?

 

At Sola Luna Photography, we're here to make your wedding or session so much more than an opportunity to take photos, but a chance to self express, create art, and have a good ass time. 

To all my fiery, funky, colorful lovers. This is your home. We value STYLE + EDGE over lack-luster trends. We want to create photos that are timeless while also undeniably fashionable and fun. We don't care where you get married. The local courthouse? Fucking fantastic. The bluffs of Santorini? Let's go. The rolling dunes of Morocco? We're already there babe. All we care about is creating a unique and meaningful experience that is 100% honest and reflective of you. 

We only get one life. Why fit in when you can stand out? 

Let's celebrate your love. Let's party. And let's make some god damn art.

We specialize in Santa Barbara Elopements, but travel to wherever you choose to celebrate.

the lady behind
the lens

Hello my loves, and welcome! My name is Gabriella and I'm the owner and lead photographer here at Sola Luna. I started this business nearly 10 years ago and it's been one hell of a wild ride ever since. My camera and I have traveled all over the world for hundreds of lovely clients and it has truly been the greatest honor to celebrate in love with so many people.

I speak in the language of visuals and aesthetics are my preferred adjectives. With a background in fine art and years of experience as a multi-disciplinary artist, my approach to photography is anything but conventional. 

I deeply value the art of collaboration and I approach every session + wedding day with the intention to materialize all of your creative visions. I believe photography should transcend documentation and be a medium to uniquely and authentically express yourself as art.

If you like what you see, I got more for ya babes!

Work

Don't take it from me, take it from them...

Five stars
doesn’t
come close... 

"Five stars doesn’t come close to capturing the degree of perfection in Gabriella’s photo aesthetic, professionalism and constant willingness to go above and beyond.

My husband was actually pretty anxious about taking  photos (he’s not one to enjoy being in front of a camera) but Gabi somehow worked her magic and made him feel comfortable right away. She knows how to work with different personalities and was able to beautifully capture very real and candid moments which completely surpassed my already high expectations. My husband was particularly blown away by her ability to make the whole process as easy and fluid as possible.

Not only is Gabi incredibly talented, but she’s also a beautiful, intuitive person that genuinely cares about her clients and pours her heart into everything she does. We love working with her, and absolutely adore our photos."
