Cannot recommend Gina enough. She was a joy to work with, and we absolutely love our wedding photos.
We are forever grateful to have Gina during our entire wedding and reception. Gina not only took absolutely wonderful photos, but she was also so supportive throughout the entire evening.

Gina was the PERFECT wedding photographer. The whole day she was everywhere all at once. Unlike a lot of photographers who direct people to set up a scene and capture a shot, Gina instead focused on capturing candids that didn't pull people away from the fun. And, more importantly, she truly captured how our big…
Gina's photographs are just beautiful. She brings warmth and humanity and artistry to every shot. I hired her for family photos when my son was 6 months old, and was absolutely floored by what she sent back. These weren't your average smiling-in-matching-outfits-in-the-park photos. Don't get me wrong, those are…
I've had the pleasure of working with Gina across four different occasions now, from a business shoot, to our engagement and wedding weekend photos, to a recent "magic hour" session capturing and commemorating our family home before it changed hands. The process felt as natural during our first session as it did in…
I could not recommend Gina more!!!!!!!!! I do not typically love getting my photo taken but Gina makes taking photos so comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable and natural.

Cannot recommend Gina enough. She was a joy to work with, and we absolutely love our wedding photos.
We are forever grateful to have Gina during our entire wedding and reception. Gina not only took absolutely wonderful photos, but she was also so supportive throughout the entire evening. It comes as no surprise that the big deal can be stressful at times, however Gina remained calm and fun and helped us enjoy our special day. With so much happening during the celebration, having Gina be our rock was a blessing. Highly recommend!
Gina was the PERFECT wedding photographer. The whole day she was everywhere all at once. Unlike a lot of photographers who direct people to set up a scene and capture a shot, Gina instead focused on capturing candids that didn't pull people away from the fun. And, more importantly, she truly captured how our big day felt, from the biggest parts of the ceremony to blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments. We haven't been able to stop looking through the photos, too often saying to ourselves "How on earth did she manage to capture *that*?!" We've given so many of her photos as gifts to our guests but it's impossible to just pick one. We can't wait until we can throw another event so we can have Gina be a part of it. We can't recommend her enough!
Gina's photographs are just beautiful. She brings warmth and humanity and artistry to every shot. I hired her for family photos when my son was 6 months old, and was absolutely floored by what she sent back. These weren't your average smiling-in-matching-outfits-in-the-park photos. Don't get me wrong, those are great too, but these were real art. They looked like they belonged in the New York Times magazine, but the subject was my little family, captured at such a special time in our lives. I printed and framed one of the photos for my mom for mother's day and she cried when she opened it - she was so moved by the image. Highly recommend hiring her to document anything special and memorable in your life!
Thank you so much for sharing these kind and beautiful words Kaitlin. I loved documenting the story of your family and look forward to preserving more memories for you in the future!
I've had the pleasure of working with Gina across four different occasions now, from a business shoot, to our engagement and wedding weekend photos, to a recent "magic hour" session capturing and commemorating our family home before it changed hands. The process felt as natural during our first session as it did in our most recent one, even though we've had multiple different opportunities to work with Gina over the years! Her eye for capturing spaces and fleeting moments to tell a story is without compare, and I love seeing how she composes her photographs as an artist. We can't recommend her enough!
I've loved documenting every occasion for you Meg! Here's to many more!
I could not recommend Gina more!!!!!!!!! I do not typically love getting my photo taken but Gina makes taking photos so comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable and natural. She is so kind, genuine, happy and her photographs are amazing! She captures our special moments perfectly and naturally - never forced or staged. If you are looking for a photographer for any of life’s big (or small!!!) moments, Gina is your gal!!!! From our engagement, pregnancy photos, newborn photos and hopefully endless more photos to come, we are so fortunate to have found Gina and to have her as our photographer/friend for life :)
Awe, thank you so much Maddy. I love our sessions together and hope to see you soon!
Gina has documented all of our family's biggest moments: our engagement, pregnancy, newborn, and whatever comes next... She has a fantastic personality, which puts us relaxed and in a great mood during the shoot. The moments she captures are reminders of the greatest moments from dates and our family's time together.
Thank you so much Matt! I'm so grateful we crossed paths and hope to see you guys soon!
Gina was so lovely to work with!! She was very communicative, listened to what we wanted, and made us feel so comfortable. And of course the photos turned out absolutely stunning!! Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much Morgan! I absolutely loved meeting you guys and documenting your incredible and intimate wedding day! Hope our paths cross again soon!
Gina is absolutely incredible. She was highly recommended by our wedding photographer, whom we loved and trusted, and thank goodness we listened. Gina has such a rare gift for blending naturally into a family dynamic - thoughtful, gentle, flexible, and wonderfully open to going with the flow - while still guiding just enough to capture the real-life moments we hoped for. She photographed our family during our daughter’s first year, and our daughter immediately loved her. The photos were stunning, with more beautiful options than we could ever need, delivered in both color and black and white. Gina also handled multigenerational family photos, outfit changes, activities, and different settings seamlessly. The only reason we don’t work with her every year is that we moved across the country. We truly wish we could bring her to the West Coast every time we want family photos. She is a remarkable documentary-style family photographer, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!
Thank you so much for these beautiful words Emily! I have LOVED working together and am always here for you guys!
Choosing Gina as our photographer was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. My wife and I were both a bit nervous (not huge fans of having our photo taken), but we knew we wanted documentary style to capture the true feeling of our day. From our first Zoom to our wedding day, Gina put us at ease and brought a warm, calming presence to the chaos. On the day of, she arrived and seamlessly jumped right in - so much so that most of the time we didn’t even know she was there. Gina has perfected candid, documentary style photography, which is exactly what we envisioned for our day. She had so many great ideas for us in the moment, was totally go-with-the-flow with plans, and captured the more formal family photos that we asked for. She also took some gorgeous photos of our location, which is a family home with many sentimental memories. It was like Gina knew what photos we wanted to prioritize before we did. We received many compliments about how amazing Gina was throughout the day, and we couldn’t agree more. Despite being only one person, she somehow captured nearly every face of our ~125 guests. Even now, almost 10 months later (sorry again, Gina, we are SO overdue writing this) we are sending out our album link to show family and friends our favorite photos of them on that day. We could go on for ages, but the final thing we’ll say is that Gina beautifully captured our 10.5 year old golden retriever, Zoe, who spent the morning getting ready with us (and broke out of the house for some of the festivities). Our girl passed away just a few months after our wedding, and we are beyond grateful to have those photos of her with us on our day. We will treasure every photo for all the years to come. We put our total trust in Gina’s process - from pre-planning to spontaneous moments - and she didn’t disappoint. She exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, quality, and timeliness. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with Gina again and highly recommend her to any couple!
Thank you so much for this lovely review Lauren! It was such a pleasure to document your wedding and I'm so grateful our paths crossed. Zoe was such a beautiful girl and I'm sorry for your loss. Sending you both hugs and love.
