elopements
I want to get to know you as a couple. I want to laugh with you and hear about your first date. I love discovering the things we have in common and I want to learn about what's most meaningful to you. I'm not here to snap a few shots and send you on your way. I want to create an experience that you'll remember.
Experience
let's take a journey together
My goal for every session is to create images with warm, natural colors that display, genuine emotions and moments of connection. I think there's nothing like true color images that have that timeless look and reflect the actual color of your dress or that outfit you worked so hard to pick out. I also just love real life! I want you to be you. So, maybe you feel a little awkward in front of a camera. I get it. But it's those awkward moments that make for the biggest laughs and the best memories. Don't worry though, I'll give you plenty of direction to help you have fun, relax and feel comfortable being yourselves.
unscripted moments
Tracee was a pleasure to work with. She was eager to hear our thoughts and ideas for the shoot as well as provided feedback and creative thoughts. she put time and effort into choosing our outfits and the location and logistics of our shoot. She made us feel comfortable and confident as she captured many candid moments of me and my husband just being us. She was clear in her expectations and was extremely professional. The photos were available within a couple of weeks and we were very happy with the images captured.
Comfortable & confident
We had an amazing experience with Gadson Photography! Tracee Gadson is such a talented photographer and she made our anniversary photo shoot so easy and a lot of fun!!! She has an amazing eye for aesthetic shots. The only downside was all her pictures were so good it was hard to choose which ones we wanted to use! And even beyond the actual photo shoot she made the whole process super simple as far as keeping us up to date with the editing and ordering process. She helped us find the best value for what we wanted to order! If you need a photo shoot done I would highly recommend contacting Gadson Photography!
A lot of fun!
My husband and I had a unique vision for our photoshoot, aiming to capture the essence of our natural country habitat and the beautiful North Carolina nature alongside the rustic charm of a barn. Tracee proved to be the perfect choice for the task. Her talent in capturing genuine emotions and love is truly remarkable. The pictures we received were beyond our expectations; they effortlessly told our story and reflected our lifestyle. We highly recommend Tracee to anyone seeking a photographer who can beautifully encapsulate their personal narrative. Thank you, Tracee, for your exceptional work!
Captured the essence
Tracee is absolutely amazing! She was so easy and fun to work with! My husband and I hadn't had professional photos taken of just the two of us since our wedding 4 years prior. We had no idea how to pose or what we should wear, etc. Tracee helped with all of that! She made us feel so relaxed! Because I had already seen some of her previous work, I had no doubt our photos would turn out beautifully. As expected, they turned out amazing with a quick turnaround! I highly recommend Tracee's work to anyone! She is so sweet and guides you through the entire process like a breeze.
Like a breeze
Tracee is a go-to photographer for us! She is amazing!! We wanted more couple photos to hang around our new house and she helped us out with that. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable and beautiful :) she’s fun, professional and has unmatched talent! She has a variety of styles to choose from and can fit any setting so definitely check her out!
Easy to work with
Tracee is definitely a 10 outta 10! Friendly, professional and goes above and beyond. Blessed with her services for my engagement pictures and wedding DAY. In 10 years or so we’ll be using her services again!
Above and beyond
We had our wedding mid October of 2020 in the mountains of Colorado. Tracee did a phenomenal job! Details were important to us, and she went above and beyond in order to get exquisite shots both indoors and outdoors (amid windy cold early evening weather). My husband and I had a vision that Tracee not only captured, but exceeded on numerous levels. She’s a talented photographer, and loves what she does!
We are beyond grateful!
Beyond grateful
Tracee did an amazing job providing photography for our wedding on 4.3.21! She has such a beautiful spirit. We were suppose to get married in 10/2020 but decided to postpone due to Covid. Tracee was very understanding and patient. When we decided not to get an engagement session she gifted us a session so that we wouldn't miss out on that special moment. She went above and beyond through the whole process with taking time explaining the different shots and helping us choose the best one. On our wedding day, she effectively utilized all of the time and even provided extra shots. Tracee definitely exceeded our expectations and provided quality service within our budget. I would definitely use Tracee again for future events.
Exceeded expectations
Tracee did our engagement shoot and we had a wonderful time. She made us feel extremely comfortable and instructed us clearly and concisely so that the pictures came out beautifully. She is very keen on details and will have you looking amazing! My husband is not very comfortable in front of cameras but she helped keep him relaxed and in the moment and it was all so natural. We had such a good time shooting at moments we forgot that she was there because she let us be our best natural selves while letting us known her vision. I would recommend her services to anyone who’s looking for someone talent and very professional!
Keen on details
You care about making memories together big or small and value the art of photography. You also appreciate and recognize the importance of printing your photos.
We are a good fit if...
Your ideal day would involve a morning trip to a local coffee shop then heading out for a little adventure to a local park for some trail walking and scenic views.
You like a more laid-back, boho, casual style and if you are excited by the idea of a session that is non-traditional, styled, and creative.
I go all in on every single wedding no matter how large or small. I'm always looking for details to document and moments to capture. I'm constantly on the go, to make sure I don't miss a thing. Your wedding day is important to me!
What is your wedding day approach?
A micro-wedding is another name for an intimate wedding, which is a smaller version of a traditional wedding with 50 people or less. They're so much fun and can be a little more laid back.
What is a Micro-Wedding?
I highly recommend doing an engagement session. They are a great way for us to get to know each other and for you to get comfortable with my directions in front of the camera. Plus, you'll feel more natural on you special day.
What if we don't need an engagement session?
Well...usually it's two people. You and your sweetheart. However, I allow up to 10 total including yourselves. Otherwise it's not really an elopement, now is it?

FAQs
A large part of my service is editing. It's like the finishing touch on an artist's canvas and a signature of my style. Therefore, I do not provide RAW unedited images. But you can be assured that I will deliver every beautiful image consistent with my style and the creativity that you love.
Do you give RAW unedited images?
You will be presented with every high quality image. I don't believe in limiting the number of images that I plan to deliver to my couples. I'm here to tell your story.

FAQs
Of course! I assist with wardrobe styling and guidance. It's what I love to do. Once we pick your session location, I'll help coordinate outfits that compliment both you and the setting you've chosen.
Can you help us decide what to wear?
I thought you'd never ask! To book with me and reserve your date, you simply sign your contract + pay your retainer and let me walk you through the rest.
