Gina and Jeff

    |    Posted by Becca on August 9th, 2009    |    wedding life

Gina and Jeff are so cool.  Gina’s terrific style inspired me for both our engagement session and the wedding day.  One of the funnest things about shooting for these two is that they always got on board with my excitement about the pictures.  At the same time, they totally trusted me, and didn’t have any expectations that put me in a box.  Here’s a good example- the wedding day was unexpectedly stormy- pouring- and it didn’t look like it was going to stop, but despite any disappointment in the weather, they didn’t let it get them down.  They were going to have fun no matter what.  In the end, the sun ended up beaming through right as it was time for pictures, which was a really fun surprise.

You will see the love between these two in the way they look at one another.  You guys are the best!  So glad I got to capture it all!

Gina and her mom help dad get dressed.  I especially like how this shows how Gina and her mom might be alike in their detail-oriented ways

Gina is such a good-times-girl!  She was walking out the door of the hotel to head to the church and decided she wanted to do a shot with her family to kick everything off.

Gina’s dad and uncles all slipped away at one point to dress up for a surprise Village People performance.

Becca- Gina has volunteered in my classroom the last several years. I think she is wonderful, and your pictures were as much fun to see as she is to be around.
