about me
Ready to look back at your wedding photos and think, “DAMN, we look good AF!”? Everyone loves a good photo of themselves, but when you work with me, you’ll get even more than that. At the end of the day, you will be amazed at how great you look in your photos AND how much fun we had. When it comes to picking the right wedding photographer, connection matters. So let’s get to know each other a little bit:
I’m willing to do whatever it takes for you to have the best photography experience ever! I take the responsibility of photographing some of the biggest moments of your lives very seriously. My approach allows you to interact with each other in natural ways. That way, I will be able to capture genuine moments, no forced ish. Your session will be a real reflection of your connection. And I will do whatever it takes to ensure your photos are everything you’ve ever dreamed they could be and more!
I’ve had my share of nicknames throughout my life, but I love being called by my full name, GinaMarie. I’ve been into photography for years now, but I got my start in landscape photography. I still love waking up early for sunrise hikes at Cuyahoga Valley National Park with my fiance, Chris.
Ice cream is my kryptonite. It’s the one thing I could never give up! I’d eat it every day for the rest of my life. (PS - If you don’t like ice cream, are you okay?)
Dogs make my heart absolutely melt. I just love their energy, and I get super excited every time I see a dog. Chris and I have a puppy named Phoenix, who is one year old. If you have a dog yourself, PLEASE bring them along for your session!
I’m your sunrise-loving, adventure-seeking, always-talking friend.
HEY, IT'S GINAMARIE!
If we could select an infinite amount of stars we would! We landed on the Instagram page for GinaMarie over a year before our wedding and we fell in love with her work. Her photos were timeless and truly brought the emotion in her photos to life. After chatting on the phone, we learned of our shared love for ice cream and we felt she understood our vision for our wedding day. Deciding to partner with GinaMarie for our engagement and wedding photos was one of the best decisions we made. From our first interaction up until the delivery of our wedding gallery, GinaMarie was easy to connect with and professional, and she put us at ease with her down-to-earth personality. She did everything she could to empower and coach us into feeling like our best selves through each click of her camera and each meeting/check-in. From dawn until the end of the night, she was running around capturing photos from all angles and ensuring that all the photographs we dreamed of were taken. To sum it up, our experience was nothing short of outstanding. We are so appreciative of her ability to capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever!
We look forward to booking with her again!

We are so thankful to have found GinaMarie for our wedding day! From the beginning she was engaging, personable, professional and organized. She just made the whole process so enjoyable and exciting. The day of our wedding she was punctual and just knew exactly what she was doing! She worked with the schedule we wanted and made sure the day flowed flawlessly! The photos are absolutely gorgeous and captures our day so beautifully. We are so happy with every aspect of hiring her, communicating throughout planning and the execution of photographing our wedding. Thank you endlessly GinaMarie! I’m not sure what’s better.. the lifelong photos or our new lifelong friendship! Thank you thank you thank you.

GinaMarie is the literal definition of perfection!
I found her on IG while looking for photographers in the area (i'm not from Cleveland, not even from Ohio lol) After looking at her page, I instantly booked a consultation with her because she seemed so genuine, passionate and hard working. She is truly all of that and more.
The photos were absolutely amazing, definitely worth the price point which I want to also point out is VERY affordable. The quality of the phots is amazing! She even incorporated black & white photos since she knew that I liked it and what I loved is that she gave us the black & white photos in color as well so we can have many options.
She was amazing and very insistent on using every minute of our booked time to produce the best photos possible. She was amazing at directing my husband and I with posing and even explained different things to us such as lighting and what not, it was nice of her to give us a little "behind the scenes" reasoning of different poses and positions.

We cannot say enough good things about working with GinaMarie before, during, and after our wedding. She thoughtfully set up multiple meetings before the event to put us at ease but also not to make us feel rushed to make quick decisions on the fly. We were able to circle back to her easily with any changes. The day of working with her and her second photographer, Jen, was a dream. Your photographer on your wedding day is with you from beginning to end. They are by your side for the whole day so it's reall yimportant that you feel comfortable around them. Having GinaMarie and Jen there made us feel incredibly secure and comfortable. Weddings days can be very chaotic, and GinaMarie was able to pivot and be flexible throughout it all. In taking pictures, she hyped everyone up but during down times she was my go-to. She made sure we stayed on schedule, but not in a demanding way. The final product in her photographs were perfection. She captured the essence of what we were looking for. She is truly talented across the board. At one point I needed to pin something onto my bouquet, and GinaMarie selflessly sacrificed her one and only safety pin. (holding together her outfit!) for me. I think this example. perfectly sums up her professionalism but also her thoughtfulness. We cannot say enough about working with GinaMarie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
