Gerber + Scarpelli

1. Tell us what makes your business different from other wedding companies?

As photographers, we often build longer relationships with our clients than most other vendors. From the engagement session to the wedding day and beyond, we continue to work together on delivering images, prints and creating albums. At Gerber+Scarpelli, we take this a step further by seeing ourselves as the documentarians of your entire life story. After the wedding, we aim to remain a part of our clients' lives, capturing the growth and evolution of their families. Whether it’s providing headshots or memorializing milestones, we’re committed for the long term. In fact, we've had the privilege of serving some of our clients for over 20 years. That’s what sets us apart.

2. What is your best advice for engaged couples?

Three things:

1) Do an engagement shoot. Use the pictures, don’t use the pictures - think about it as practice. Unless you and your fiance are models you probably have limited time in front of a camera and at minimum it will make you feel more comfortable on ‘game day’.

2) Hire a great vendor team that you can trust! Letting your vendor team do what they do best will result in exceptional outcomes. When you fixate on a vision you've seen online, you can limit your team's creativity. Your vendor team is here to create something unique for you. Trust is key to a wedding day that will exceed your expectations!

3) On the wedding day - have a great time and enjoy every moment! Your guests will take your cue. If you’re worried and stressed out, people will feel it. If you’re leading the charge toward the best day ever - people will catch the vibe.

3. What is something you constantly strive for?

Our greatest accomplishment is our unwavering attention to detail. For over 25 years, we’ve approached each day with the goal of capturing the best photographs possible. Whether it’s a corporate project, a wedding, or a product launch, we bring the same dedication and focus to every assignment. The joy of creating and collaborating with our clients is what drives us.

4. What is the most gratifying part of your business?

Documenting our clients' stories and creating something that will be cherished as a family heirloom for generations is incredibly rewarding. We are lucky enough to capture major life moments and turn them into lasting art. It’s both a privilege and an honor.

5. What three words describe you or your business best?

Distinctive. Joyfull. Timeless.
