Gia captured beautiful photos of our elopement and was wonderful to work with, start to finish! Her timeliness, creativity, talent, and professionalism really shine through. We truly appreciated her go-with-the-flow approach as well as fun suggestions to create memorable shots. The prices are very reasonable and the turn around on the photos was quick! I highly recommend Gia Photos!

Gia helped me plan the perfect proposal, showing flexibility and adapting to changing timelines. The photos she took beautifully captured the candid reaction from my fiancé. She also took fantastic post proposal photos for us. The price is also more reasonable than some other proposal sites.

Gia was an amazing photographer. From the planning to the actual shoot, everything was perfect. She was able to capture my now fiancé's birthday photos and at the end did a surprise proposal. Gia was able to help us coordinate with the locations and picked great spots for us!

Gia is so reasonably priced. She was flexible when I had to postpone my pandemic wedding and was able to fit my needs by bringing on an additional photographer. She did both our engagement and wedding photos...both which turned out beautifully!

Gia is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She went above and beyond to capture every moment of my bach party perfectly and we had so much fun working with her. Gia was so easy to communicate with throughout the whole process and the album was delivered quickly. We have received so many compliments the bach photos and couldn’t be happier with images Gia Dragoi delivered!

We had Gia take our pregnancy photo session and they turned out FANTASTIC! such a beautiful memory from this important period of our family's history. She was fun but professional and made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera, which usually doesn't happen.Thank you, Gia! you are the best!

What an incredible experience! I used Gia for a surprise engagement photo shoot and boy, did she show up and bring all the big guns!!She arrived at the location early and was ready, recording video as well as taking photos before, during, and after! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the location and have me advice on how to travel there, what direction to come from, and where to propose for the best photos. She even handled some unexpected guests interrupting us and did it all so professionally, skillfully, and so very friendly.We got the photos and video that same evening and they were absolutely incredible. High quality photos that captured the story and feeling of our special day.Highly recommended for any special moments you want captured in a natural and comfortable way. If you need photos in Chicago, Gia is your go to, hands down!

Gia went above and beyond to make our dream come true! My girlfriend and I took some days off from work to visit Chicago. Without my girlfriend knowing, I contacted Gia because I saw some beautiful surprise proposal photos online from her. I wanted the moment to be a surprise for my girlfriend (now fiancée!) so Gia and I set a time and date for the proposal. I was really nervous (not something I do everyday) since the proposal day was really cold and windy but Gia made sure to capture every single moment from the proposal and the photos turned out to be awesome. We have shown the photos to our loved ones and friends and are able to recreate the moment every time. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives and appreciate all the effort and kindness from Gia. Look no more for the perfect surprise proposal photographer!

I met Gia at Stan Mansion's open house in January and I absolutely love her energy and the hard work and dedication she puts into photography.Besides being an awesome person, she has real talent and a very good eye on the details that are extremely important and emotional and will mean so much after your special event is over and all you are left with are memories... and pictures!Gia is one of the recommended photographers on the Stan Mansion's vendors list and I can, with no doubt recommend her to our couples, she brought two of her amazing books for display and I absolutely love them. They help me present the venue better to the couples who come and tour the space.I love her work and the dedication and would highly recommend Gia!

Gia is amazing - when she is directing a photo shoot, she provides perfect instructions and sets up nice shots. Most importantly to me, she is amazing at being a fly on the wall - she captured hundreds of excellent candid shots (one below included) without anyone really noticing she was there. She was always there when I needed her for a specific picture, without me even realizing how close she stayed to the groom and myself throughout the evening. She captured excellent shots of my guests, as well.
