Gabe Herrera is the creative force behind Gabe Rene LLC—known to many as The Tattooed Photographer. With a signature style that puts clients at ease and brings out their confidence, Gabe isn’t just snapping photos—he’s running the whole show. From concept creation to final edits, he’s all about crafting visuals that vibe with the energy of the moment. His true passion lies in turning bold, creative ideas into tangible, powerful imagery—no vision is ever too wild or too ambitious.
Gabe’s journey into photography began in 2000 when he picked up his father’s camera. A few photography courses while pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design at the Art Institute sparked the fire, and by 2010, Gabe was shooting professionally. In 2018, he officially launched Gabe Rene LLC, blending his love for visual storytelling with his design background. A longtime pro with Adobe Creative Suite since his high school days in 2001, Gabe brings both artistic flair and technical expertise to every project.
Alongside him on this creative journey is his fiancé, Kyle—a Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and Gabe’s second shooter. Kyle jumped in during the chaos of wedding season and quickly became an indispensable partner, contributing style, precision, and unwavering support. Together, they make a powerhouse team—balancing creativity and professionalism with an edge.
In 2023, Gabe and Kyle expanded into videography, offering clients a full range of creative media services. They also launched Trendy Booth, a high-energy, open-air photo booth packed with fun props and stylish backdrops—perfect for weddings, parties, corporate events, and everything in between.
