A destination wedding film photographer based in Melbourne, Victoria. I'm a TV editor by trade, but my passion for film photography took over, as I love capturing memories on it. I shoot mainly weddings, elopements and engagements.

"gabiera" is just my first and last names combined. I've been shooting ever since I was little, but gabiera was properly est. 2025.


I'm gabe!

Hello,

A little more about me - I love Jesus Christ and His church. Going backpack hiking and camping, of course film and the guilty pleasure of claw games.

I am fond of medium format film (120 film) and I shoot mainly on the Pentax 67, and love 35mm film, mainly shooting on the Canon 1N. I have various point and shoots and digicams which I enjoy bringing on holidays or parties. I recently got into super 8 motion film, which I currently have a Canon 514XL.

I would describe my style as timeless, dreamy with a mix of guided, candid and documented imagery. 

If you need someone to tear up the reception dance floor, or taste test the wedding cake - I got you.

We love because He first loved us.

FAQ:
_________________________
Q: What type of sessions do you offer?

A: Weddings, elopements etc. But get in contact and maybe we can work something out! I have done a lot of portrait work. Portraits

I also shoot digital images, and do videography as I started as a shooter / editor. But keep in mind, if you require both photos AND video. I will focus on film photography + bring along a trusted videographer.

_________________________
Q: Why film?

A: I shoot film cause of the colours rendered, the soft touch, slower process and tactile experience - which is a lot more fun for me. There is a bit of an adrenaline rush trying to get the time right in pressing the shutter at the right moment, but even so, it's always the "right moment", as it's still a memory preserved.

You will receive the film photos through an online gallery, after the film lab develops and scans them, they send me the online files.

I've shot over a thousand rolls, and you still never know what to expect. In the best way!

_________________________
Q: Why are the film-only packages more costly?

A: I bring TONS more film than the digital + film packages. Just simple maths.

_________________________
Q: How many photos will I receive, and will I receive less if on film?

A: I don't have a maximum, but you will receive all the good ones! With the nature of film, there would naturally be less photos taken, but the shots are more thought out and intentional, all the important, real moments are still captured. If paired with digital photos, you'll be getting the best of both worlds.

You will receive the images within 2 to 6 weeks after the day of event - depending on film lab/editing workload.

_________________________
Q: Do you travel, and have a travel fee?

A: I am based in Melbourne, but am available worldwide. Travel fees within 1 hour of Melbourne CBD are already included in all prices. Will incur more fees if it's further out, interstate or international.

_________________________
Q: Where can I see some reviews or galleries?

A: Just go to this link - Reviews
and for galleries, just send me a message and I can send through some.

_________________________
Q: What are your qualifications/certificates?

A: I have a Bachelor's Degree in Film, a first aid certificate and a working with children check.

_________________________
Q: What is the process in booking you?

A: First, check for availability. Then we hash out some details, perhaps through a call, I send through a media agreement and invoice. If all looks good, we lock it all in through a retainer. Plan a bubble tea/coffee catch up. Shoot together (if a pre-wedding is booked). And then gear/ready up for the main event.
