MISSION STATEMENT

PHOTOGRAPHY IS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS PAID FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY THAT BECOMES *MORE* VALUABLE WITH TIME.

A MIX OF ANALOG & DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOT on 3 CAMERAS

Expect a combination of high res DIGITAL+ FILM (35MM & 120) photographs.

My style of wedding photography is photojournalistic. While capturing formal portraits are important, I also believe the ambiance of your day & the life-force of your invited guests is of equal priority. With a gentle eye, I will steer your formal photographs to best reflect your personalities, while simultaneously documenting those subtle yet profound candid moments that make up such an important day. I keep a keen watch as the day naturally unfolds so you have a record long after the day has passed you by.

High school introduced me to photography & there I spent my waking hours shooting film, developing, & printing deep within the darkroom. From there I went to Otis School of Art & Design to study Fine Art Photography (2001-2005), which exposed me to art theory & artist's studio practices. After college I flexed my logistical side & produced art fairs (2004-2012) that shared contemporary art to communities in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, & New York. In 2013 I transitioned into a small business owner & made photography my full-time world. So if you will, find comfort in knowing that art & photography are a part of my physiological make-up & the path I've taken shows this.

My camera & I stay vigilant throughout your day, which no doubt will have many moving parts, while maintaining an unobtrusive & honest presence.

STAY IN THE MOMENT. I’LL SUPPORT YOU & DO THE REST.

KIVA LOAN PLEDGE — I pledge to make a Kiva loan for every wedding that I book. This is something that has been important for me to integrate into my wedding photography business from the beginning. It hasn't escaped me how becoming a small business owner has changed my life for the better. I am grateful to have had the privilege & opportunity to see my goals through. I believe when you are given a chance to work towards a life that you deliberately design for yourself, it can be transformative & ripple positively outwards. The empowerment that results is priceless & I believe that all humans deserve the right to choose what they want for themselves & see their vision come to fruition. Struggle is real, I've been through my share, & it's time to do my part to help fellow dreamers & builders. (www.kiva.org)

The absolute best photographer and human

Gina is first and foremost an incredible person. Then, she’s a stellar photographer. It was Gina or bust for us. We knew she was our photographer when we zoom chatted with her to talk through her work and our vision. It was a match made in the sky. Gina listened to us, added her experience, and the result was pure magic.

Leading up to the wedding day Gina was communicative and so helpful. She created a day of timeline specific to our vision. Come wedding day, we couldn’t wait to meet her and right away she put us at ease. Gina has a real eye for catching the spirit of moments, place, and emotion. Gina went with our vision, adding her own spirit and flare. She was flexible, empathetic, so kind, and a real professional.

When we got our photos, we were blown away by just how many were perfect. We love everything about them. From top to bottom, Gina captured every moment (from the USPS driver shooting congrats, to my little nieces, to our home and neighborhood, to our goofy faces, our love, our community, etc). The photos are somehow both vibrant and timeless. They will only get better with age and they are perfect now.

If you’re searching for a photographer who works with intention, compassion, sincere care, and a whole lotta fun and talent, search no farther. You’re found one with Gina. Plus, she’s just a homie who ‘gets it.’ Love love love!

An equally kind & talented photographer

This review is very long overdue, but my husband and I wanted to share what a wonderful experience we had working with Gina on both our engagement photos and wedding photos. In searching for photographers, we found a lot of work that was posed and formulaic. When we came across Gina’s portfolio, it was like a breath of fresh air. She has both the truthful eye of a documentarian and a sentimental heart. The combination makes for warm, timeless, and authentic photos that can transport you right back to your feelings in that moment. On top of this, her website and Instagram contained multicultural and diverse images of clients which I had not seen in other photographers we looked into.
On the day of our wedding, Gina had a calm and attentive presence and seemed to capture every special detail without any direction from us. There was a lot of structure to the day, but she found ways to capture the spontaneous moments as well. Our guests and flower girl loved her and all asked how we found her. We are grateful that Gina captured so many special moments and could not imagine any one else photographing such an important day.

Gina is the best!

Gina is AMAZING. The absolute best. When planning our wedding, my partner and I were on the same page when it came to what we wanted for photography— photos that captured who we are as a couple, photos that captured the raw emotions of the day, photos that were in the moment and authentic. We wanted...well, we wanted the wedding photos that our good friends (Gio and Lindsey) had. And it turns out, their wedding photographer was Gina Clyne.

Gina was a breeze to work with. We actually had two days for her to shoot (wedding one day and reception the next). She was super flexible and rolled with all of our planning and re-planning. She was also very helpful when it came to us making larger decisions, like where to get ready and when to arrive at our wedding venue.

The biggest take away, however, from working with Gina is how much more fun she made our two days. Don't get me wrong, the wedding and reception was epic, but Gina made it unforgettable. People don't tell you how important it is to have a photographer that is kind, cool, and approachable. Remember, that photographer is with you during some of the most special, intimate moments. And having Gina besides us was such a blessing. She made us smile, laugh, and chill out. She brought so much joy to that day.

And, of course, we got the authentic, joyful, fun photos we wanted. I could not imagine having a different photographer. If you want to make your event that much more epic and beautiful, hire Gina, for her personality and her photography.

A Phenomenal Photographer!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Gina! Firstly, she is a phenomenal photographer who has a unique ability to capture a moment authentically and naturally, never imposing but somehow always in the right place at the perfect time. Beyond her talent, Gina is just a phenomenal human. From the moment we met, she had a warm energy and was consistently open and collaborative. We would highly recommend her for her talent, her work ethic, and her personality. Our wedding pictures couldn't have come out more beautiful and truly captured the day.

I had the best wedding photographer

A few years before I was even engage I heard my coworkers arguing about who had the best wedding photographer and it ended up they both had the same one. Gina Clyne. I wrote down the name in a sticky note and came back to it when it was time for my wedding. Luckily Gina was available and she did not disappoint. It was so great working with her and the photos came out amazing. I usually get really awkward when taking photos and she made me feel relaxed and excited. I remember seeing her appearing at the right moments to capture it without getting in the way. I loved how she took some photos in film. I highly recommend her. You too could be part of the "I had the best wedding photographer club!"

Best wedding photographer!

I found and followed Gina years ago while browsing through photojournalistic wedding photographers, and her photos stood out to me as full of life, vibrancy, and warmth. When we started planning our wedding, we were so excited that she was available to work with us. Our first meeting with her put us even more at ease, as she was just as full of the warmth and sweetness present in her photos. She made sure she knew exactly what we wanted captured and gave her expert opinions professionally and thoughtfully. Her energy and artistic eye were exactly what we’d hoped for, and she caught so many special moments and details in a totally natural and fresh way. Our photos feel like a true representation of everything we felt on our wedding day. We’re so honored to have gotten to work with Gina, and we cannot recommend her enough!

Kind! Professional! Flexible! Gina is the BEST!

Gina was the first person we hired for our wedding, and I absolutely cannot imagine our wedding without her. When we hired Gina we were thrilled to have found an artist with such a stunning body of photojournalistic work who also aligned with our values. What we couldn't have anticipated is that we'd also found the perfect person to greet the wild uncertainty and last-minute changes that came with our March 2020 wedding with flexibility and joy!

I remember being on the phone with Gina days before her scheduled flight to Iowa expecting to hear that she couldn't make it. But she came! She greeted us like old friends and took all our last-minute changes into stride with professionalism, warmth, and good humor. Our wedding day felt so relaxed and joyful in the midst of everything, and Gina captured that sense beautifully on film. We feel so lucky to have gotten married when we did - and even luckier to have it beautifully documented by someone we trust and think so highly of. We would absolutely hire Gina again!!

Lovely photos, easy going, great communication!

We loved the beautiful photos Gina took of our intimate park wedding. It was so cool having the combination of film and digital that made for unique photos. She was very present but also not the distracting which was perfect for our small ceremony. I would definitely recommend Gina!

Our favorite vendor we hired was Gina!

We couldn't be more please with Gina, her art and her overall vibe at our wedding. She made everyone feel comfortable and she fit right in. Multiple people came up to us after our wedding and said they loved our photographer lol. She shoots in film as well which was a huge draw for us. She's smart, organized and a master of her craft. We didn't have to think of our photo schedule at all, she is on it and has great advice as well. We got our photos back and she uses a really great website where you can add photos to your cart to order prints and tons of other options including photos books etc. I think that made the whole photo deliver service so easy and created a great experience. If you appreciate the art of photography and someone with an overall good vibe that will make your day a breeze - hire Gina!

Stellar photographer + person

Let's be real, having your wedding photos taken is awkward AF. Combine that stress with wanting to find a photographer who "gets" you and your vision. Gina delivered on all accounts and then some!! Before the wedding, Gina was professional, communicative and offered wonderful suggestions for scheduling. She frontloaded the formal portraits so we had more time to enjoy ourselves and our guests during the event. She immediately made us feel at ease and it showed in how natural our portraits looked. After we received our photos I couldn't stop staring at them! The colors, the faces, the details she captured just brought me so much joy. Weddings go by so quick but having these beautiful photos just takes me back to that day. Please do yourself a favor and hire her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
