FAQs

ABOUT PIPE GABER

What is your background in photography?

I’ve been a photographer for over 15 years, and a large part of my career has been in the world of fashion and editorial photography. While that world doesn’t define my wedding work, it definitely shaped how I compose, how I read light, and how I instinctively look for clean, aesthetic frames.


You’ll notice it in the elegance of the portraits, the intentionality of the light, and the visual rhythm of every gallery — always refined, never overdone.

Will you be the one photographing our wedding?

Yes. When you hire me, you get me. I don’t outsource weddings or send someone else in my place — On the wedding day, I may be accompanied by a member of the Gaber Studio team to support or complement the coverage, depending on the logistics and the package you choose. This allows us to capture your story with more depth, angles, and care — while I stay focused on the moments that matter most.

How many weddings do you take per year?

I only take a limited number of weddings annually. This allows me to remain fully present for every couple and deliver work that’s deeply personal and intentionally crafted.

What kind of couples do you love working with?

Couples who value connection, intimacy, and emotion. People who care more about how the day feels than how it looks. If you're more interested in how your wedding is remembered than how it's performed, we’re probably a perfect fit..

STYLE & APPROACH

What is your photography style?

Emotional, timeless, and honest. I blend documentary storytelling with an artistic and cinematic eye. It’s not about perfect posesit’s about real connection, subtle gestures, and the energy between you.

Do you guide us or tell us how to pose?

I’ll gently direct when needed, but never force anything. You’ll never feel awkward or staged. I want you to feel like yourselves — just even more in love, even more alive.

Do you shoot film?

Yes, in select packages and add-ons, I include 35mm film or instant analog photographs (Polaroids, Instax). These offer a nostalgic and organic layer to your wedding story.

PLANNING & TIMELINE

How many hours of coverage do we need?

It depends on your vision and the flow of the day. Most couples book 8–12 hours. If your celebration includes welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or post-wedding brunches, we can design a custom multi-day coverage plan.

Can we split coverage between multiple days?

Absolutely. Destination weddings are often multi-day experiences — and I love documenting the full arc of your celebration.

Do you help us plan the photography timeline?

Yes. I work closely with you and your wedding planner to design a timeline that flows naturally and ensures we’re photographing at the best times for light, energy, and emotion.

Do you help us visualize the photos before the wedding?

Yes — I believe great photography starts with shared vision. Before the wedding, I collaborate with each couple to create a visual moodboard where we explore textures, light, emotional tone, and style references. This isn’t about copying poses — it’s about understanding the feeling you want to preserve. The moodboard helps align our expectations and inspires intentional storytelling that truly reflects who you are.

INVESTMENT & BOOKING

What is your pricing?

Collections begin at $4,200 USD for photography. Every wedding is unique, so we build a quote tailored to your needs and priorities. Multi-day coverage and destination weddings are available.

How do we reserve our date?

To book, we require a signed contract and a 50% retainer. The remaining balance can be paid in scheduled installments before the wedding.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, flexible payment options are available. We’ll work with your planner or directly with you to structure a plan that works best.

What’s your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

All terms are outlined in your contract. Life happens — and if something unexpected arises, we’ll navigate it together.

TRAVEL & DESTINATIONS

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. I’m based in México and photograph weddings across Mérida, Riviera Maya, CDMX, San Miguel de Allende, and internationally. Passport is always ready.

Are travel costs included?

Travel fees are calculated based on location and logistics. Some destination packages include them; others will have travel quoted separately in your proposal.

Have you worked at our venue before?

Possibly — but even if I haven’t, I always research and scout every location thoroughly to find the most meaningful light, textures, and compositions for your story.

FILM & VIDEO

Do you offer video as well?

Yes. I work with a hand-selected team of videographers from Gaber Studio whose aesthetic and values align with mine. We offer cinematic highlight films and long-format wedding films.

Can your videographer also take photos?

No. Photography and cinematography are two distinct crafts. Each artist focuses on their medium to ensure the highest quality and emotional integrity in every frame.

Is there a discount for booking photo + video together?

Yes — our combined collections offer better value and a more cohesive artistic experience.

EXTRAS & EXPERIENCE

Can we take home an album the same day of the wedding?

Yes — I offer a Same-Day Album: a beautifully printed selection of highlights from your wedding day, ready for you to take home that very night.


While your full gallery takes a few weeks, this album lets you relive the magic immediately — from getting ready to your first dance — thoughtfully curated and handcrafted during the reception.

Do you photograph other events like welcome dinners or post-wedding brunches?

Yes — and I love them. These gatherings are a beautiful way to begin telling your story.
Welcome dinners, boat parties, or post-wedding brunches give me the chance to connect with your inner circle and start capturing the energy of your weekend early on. They’re often more relaxed, emotional, and filled with the kind of moments that make the full story even richer.

Can we get our wedding gallery delivered faster?

Yes — we offer an Expedited Delivery option that guarantees your full wedding gallery delivered within 4 weeks.


This is perfect for couples who want to relive and share their day sooner. It's included in the “More Than Words” collection, and can also be added to any other package upon request.

Can we meet you before booking?

Of course. I’d love to meet you over Zoom or in person if possible. Chemistry matters. Let’s talk, connect, and see if we’re aligned.

FINAL THOUGHT

What makes your work different?

I don’t just take pictures — I listen, observe, and feel the story as it unfolds. My goal isn’t just to make you look beautiful — it’s to help you feel the day of the wedding, and again, every time you see your images.

My background in editorial and fashion photography isn’t something I lead with, but it does shape the way I see. It taught me to work with light, composition, and detail in a way that elevates every frame — without losing honesty or emotion. This is about honoring love with depth, truth, and timeless beauty.
