121. The Deeper Meaning Behind Elopement Photography with Gabriela Hotzel

As elopement photographers, our job is more important than you may think. Yes, we are taking beautiful photos, but it’s so much more than that. It’s about preserving memories, telling stories, and capturing emotions that couples will hold onto for the rest of their lives.

 

In today’s episode, I chat with Gabriela Hotzel, a Las Vegas-based elopement photographer, but shoots all over the western U.S. Gabriela shares her story about how she fell in love with photography as a kid, and how she found her true calling in elopements. 

 

She also opens up about one of her most meaningful elopements she’s ever photographed - a couple planning their wedding after the groom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
