Gail Thrift is a professional photographer in Durham, NC. She has always had a love for photography and has known she wanted to be a professional photographer since her first photography class in high school. She went on to get a bachelor's degree in Photography from Appalachian State University. Since college she has worked for portrait studios and done freelance in many fields of photography including weddings, product photography, commercial advertising, portraits, animal portraits, boudoir, and sports.

She also has amazing photoshop skills and worked for the News and Observer for many years toning photos along with working in the studio.

She shoots with a Canon 5D Mark II, a top of the line camera. Gail can capture a person's personality and the love of a newly married couple. The natural moments between people make the most amazing photos.

She chose the name Gaillyn Photography because her idol was a professional landscape photographer named Galen Rowell, and her name is Gail Lynn so she decided to play off of that.

Gail is available for destination weddings.
