about glorianna
"My husband and I were looking for a photographer that would embrace our personalities and preferred style. We also wanted to work with someone who made us feel comfortable - because we are both pretty awkward trying to figure out poses for photos. Glorianna was the perfect match for us! She immediately understood what we were looking for and made us feel comfortable and confident during our engagement session and our wedding day.
Not only did Glorianna make the two of us comfortable, she also made everyone else involved comfortable as well. She took the time to learn everyone's name and was able to make us all feel like models. Our wedding planner/coordinator also sang nothing but praises on how wonderful Glorianna was to work with. Glorianna is well organized, personable, and overall added to making the day extra special.
Our photos are the best! Not only did we feel like models, Glorianna some how made us LOOK like models in all of our photos. The photos exceeded expectations...

Glorianna was also fantastic at getting photos to us quicker than we anticipated. A lot of our friends complained about how long it took to get their wedding photos - and we always say "you should have had Glorianna".
Glorianna stands out from other photographers. She works well with all ages - from getting shy flower girls to giggle for photos to making grandmas feel young again - she is absolutely the best! Her personality is stunning and so is her talent with the camera. Looking through our ceremony photos, my husband and I think "how did she get this shot?, I do not even know where she stood or even remember seeing her". She knows how to get the perfect shot without being a distraction during a ceremony. A pet peeve we have while attending other weddings is when the photographer is all up in the front, blocking our view, obnoxious flashes, etc. - Glorianna is extremely professional and this was absolutely no issue or concern when working with her, and our coordinator and wedding party even commented on how discreet her and her assistant were during our ceremony.
The best wedding advice my husband and I received was SPLURGE ON A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. Trust us, our wedding photos are the memories of our favorite day and we are so so happy and impressed with the quality. Glorianna makes the experience of wedding photography a breeze, and produces the most stunning photos. I would 1000% recommend her every time someone asks for wedding photographer recommendations."

My husband and I got married in the Ozark mountains, in a unique setting that Glorianna had only seen in pictures and didn't have time to test lighting prior to the wedding day. I am constantly amazed at how adaptable she was to the setting, the changing lighting, and many shadows cast in the chapel!
Glorianna is kind, thoughtful, and makes everyone feel at ease. It is a true gift to be able to get these genuine smiles from a crowd of people (including children) she has never met! I really appreciated her time management on the day of the wedding. The family portraits went smoothly and quickly and everyone was off to the reception in no time.
The photos from our wedding day are a real treasure. Glorianna has a gift for making you feel like the most beautiful person in the world. I constantly get misty eyed when I look at our pictures, they are truly a work of art. I could not recommend Glorianna enough to anyone looking for a photographer for any special occasion."

She has this remarkable ability to make everyone feel at ease during the shoot. Even if you're not sure how to pose, she's right there with suggestions that turn even the most awkward and shy into models.
What sets her apart is her ability to keep things relaxed and enjoyable. The whole shoot feels like having a best friend around- there is truly no stress. And when you see the photos she captures, it's pure magic. They're not just beautiful; they're a testament to her skill.
But what's even more impressive is her dedication. She's willing to go to great lengths to get that perfect shot. Whether it means climbing trees, lying on the ground, or even jumping into a lake, she'll do it… I’ve seen it. LOL.
If you're searching for a wedding photographer who's both incredibly talented, creates a comfortable, enjoyable atmosphere, and goes to extraordinary lengths to get the perfect shot, she's the one you need!"
"When it comes to wedding photographers, Glorianna is truly outstanding.

I'm not very comfortable in front of a camera but Glorianne has a presence to her that'll make anyone feel comfortable. Our photos were beautiful and I can't say I'm surprised seeing how talented she is. I would definitely recommend her to everyone and anyone since she's got experience doing many kinds of shoots. You cannot go wrong with Glorianne, such a sweetheart my entire family LOVED her."

"We just used Glorianne for our wedding on 7/17/21 and she is simply remarkable. She is easy to work with and is was so helpful through the planning process. She was so patient and flexible as I changed my mind 100x for family photos after the wedding. Glorianne is extremely focused on details and gave the most specific directions to every single person involved to assure that we all looked our best. She is bubbly and fun and it’s impossible not to feel instantly comfortable with her. She is immensely talented and her craft simply shines through.
If you are considering hiring Glorianne, stop considering and reach out immediately. You will not regret it."

"We were looking for a photographer that could capture all the candid emotions and moments of our wedding day. Glorianna far exceed our expectations. Her talent and skill is top notch. She is a true professional that will put your mind to ease on your most special day. From our first meeting with Glorianna, we felt very comfortable about the process as she listened to our vision and guided us through the details on how to bring that vision to life. The day of our wedding went by in a blur and we can look back at our pictures and album to relive every moment, every smile, every laugh and all the love and celebration.
Best investment we made for our wedding day."

"I know a lot of photographers both amateur and professional and Glorianne is by far the best at capturing candid beautiful moments! She was the photographer at our wedding and did a fabulous job. I kept getting comments from friends and family about her organized and fun presence. She was efficient (which took a ton off stress off of me) but very friendly and relaxed and we LOVE our wedding photos. To this day I keep up with all her work."
She has an incredible talent for capturing personality and beauty in each shot."

I blame my mom for my love of photography. Growing up, she always had a camera within arms reach to capture moments of her husband and three daughters. She was my hero (and still is), so it was only natural that I wanted to take pictures as well. I wish I could say I had a hidden natural talent, but it took me several years to get the hang of including a person's entire head in the photo. I studied photojournalism in college, dreaming of being a National Geographic photojournalist and making a difference in the world through my photos. In the meantime, I started doing portrait and wedding photography, and God began showing me that I can make a difference through that too, one person at a time. Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with that opportunity to capture people’s personalities and emotions in a way that blesses them and spreads joy.
I love doing photography as a career, but it's far more than a career to me, it's about relationships. For years I have prayed that God will use my photography to bless people, to capture joy and spread it, and to help my clients get a glimpse of their own beauty and value in God's eyes. I want to use my photography to love people. The people that I photograph truly become my friends. And even though I'm primarily a wedding photographer, I love to stay in my couples' lives, photographing their growing families throughout the years.
I think that having a heart for genuine friendships is one of the things that makes my photography different. There are couples who are looking for a transactional relationship with their photographer, a straightforward, businesslike trade off of money for photos. But that's just not me. If you hire me to be your wedding photographer, I'm all in, and you better get ready for a new friend.
