It’s been an honor to see our work shared on some of the world’s most iconic platforms.What started as a passion for storytelling through love has taken us across all 7 continents — and into the pages of some truly splendid publications.

The goal has always been to create meaningful images for our couples, but we're not going to fret if a few press people take notice.

This is a small reflection of that journey.

I’m incredibly humbled to be included as one of World’s Best Photographers by @wezoree. It’s a recognition I never imagined receiving when I first picked up a camera, but it’s truly a testament to the incredible clients, vendors, and moments I’ve had the privilege to capture.

To appreciate photography and art requires vulnerability and empathy, it's our humanity that connects us and evokes emotion. It's my Studio's mission to tell these stories, preserving emotions, and making people feel seen and celebrated.

A huge thank you for anyone that has helped us along the way, or even offered kind words, without your kindness and support none of this would be possible.

The list of photographers and creatives Wezoree selected is truly amazing, I'm humbled to be named among those that inspire us all to push the boundaries of love.

We're launching our 'Lens of Love' campaign in early 2025, championing social impact and philanthropy through photography. If you're a photographer and would like to be a part of this wonderful charity, please shoot us an email - info@clanegessel.com

Here’s to continuing to tell the stories that matter most. 🙏💛

It’s been a minute since I’ve stepped in front of the lens instead of behind it.

Last year alone, I clocked 250,000 miles in the air, enough to circle the globe ten times over. Between shooting on commission in 50+ countries and landing gigs I once only dreamed of, I’ve realized that "legacy" is about the stories we leave behind and the grit it takes to tell them.

I’m still based in NY, still obsessed with the art of the wedding, and more energized than ever about the future of film and video. But when the gear is packed away? You’ll find me recharging for the next flight at my vacation house in Arizona or Charleston.

Whether I’m chasing the desert light, enjoying the coast, or just getting outvoted by my two dogs or Chloe, I’ve learned that the best views are the ones you share.

I love this job, but I love the people it brings into my life even more. So grateful for all the opportunities to come in 2026 and beyond.

"If we could freeze one moment of our wedding day, this might be it. The overwhelming feeling of driving through a sea of our favorite people, holding hands, and just knowing that this is the beginning. This photo makes us smile every time we see it, and we are so, so grateful for everyone who made that weekend - and this entire journey - the greatest adventure."

One of my favorite reasons for doing this is watching our couples build their legacy as years pass. I met for drinks with one of my old couples recently and they shared their story of this image, thank you Josh and Brian for letting me share this moment with you.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
