    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...

    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...

    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...

    We love Gina!!

    Gina is so talented, so kind and so GOOD, we can't imagine our wedding without her. Her photos are flattering without being overproduced, realist without being flat or boring -- They were candid, beautiful, surprising, beyond our expectations! They were perfect!

    She is not only an incredible photographer, but an extremely effective director, who worked so well with us & our families for formal photos. She was a warm presence that everyone could feel comfortable around immediately.

    It was an honor to have her there, and the volume and quality of photos she managed to produce with limited hours is unbelievable. We look back through and say to ourselves -- How could she be in so many...

    Incredible Talent and Professionalism

    We cannot thank Gina enough for capturing our engagement and wedding in the way that she did. She is incredibly insightful and easy to work with. Her personality, artistic abilities, and approach produced stunning, natural photos we will cherish. We also found her to be one of the most reasonably priced.

    Fantastic!

    When we started looking for a wedding photographer, we were drawn to the photojournalistic style. We wanted beautiful photos, but ones that captured and reflected our day rather than just hitting all the traditional marks. I found a write up of Gina's work on A Practical Wedding and when we looked at her website and sample galleries we agreed that she had that exact style that we were looking for. When we looked at her pricing we worried that it was too good to be true. We contacted her about possibly coming to the East Coast for our Summer Camp wedding and lucked out that she was in fact available! We had a phone call meeting and then met...

    Accurate and Artful

    I can’t recommend Gina enough!

    While planning our wedding in Panama City, FL, in September 2018, my husband and I sat down to identify a few major priorities for the event, and we immediately knew that photography was going to be near the top of the list. Friends had warned us that the actual wedding was going to fly by (and trust me, they were right!), so we wanted to find someone who would accurately and artfully capture the feeling of the day—even down to the little details. Gina’s name came up almost immediately. She had beautifully photographed another wedding in our friend group, and the couple gave her a glowing endorsement. What I love about Gina’s...

    Gina Clyne Photography was the first vendor that I contacted - and I am so happy that I did.

    I can't say enough good things about Gina. We were so happy to have her as a part of our wedding. She had a shot list of portraits to work though, but after that is where she really shines. The main thing I was looking for in a photographer was someone who could shoot photojournalism style, and Gina delivered. She was always right there, but never in the way. And not only are our photos gorgeous but she really captured the personality of our guests. She was just a pleasure to work with.

    And as many...

    If you are at all interested in hiring Gina for your photographer needs - seriously, just do it. I found Gina on A Practical Wedding's vendor directory and I'm so so glad I found her. First of all, her prices are literally unbeatable, not even for a major city, just overall, unbeatable. And not only is she incredibly affordable, but she also makes a microloan through Kiva to a woman owned business, which is pretty awesome.

    I hired Gina for my engagement and wedding photos for my "destination" wedding in LA. From the very first email, I could tell she was an awesome, down to earth person, and she was even better in person. My husband and...

    I found Gina through A Practical Wedding. At first glance, it was the exact style of photographer I had been looking for. Then I saw her rates, and I thought it must be too good to be true, but she truly delivered above and beyond.
    Even though we live in San Francisco, the wedding was held in San Juan Capistrano, so I was not able to meet with her in person until the day of the wedding, but she was so great with communicating via email and on the phone before the wedding, that it felt like we had built a great relationship before we even came face to face.
    Not only did the photographs turn out beautiful,...

    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...

    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...

    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!"

    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...

    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.

    Very Professional and Considerate

    Gina was an excellent photographer. She provided a ton of great pictures that were well-edited and expertly composed. She has a very natural style. After reviewing the photos, we both agreed that they really captured the feel of our wedding. Gina was also very professional, offering easy-to-use subject templates for family pictures. She was really easy to communicate with and super friendly to us and our guests. We cannot recommend Gina highly enough.

    Gina Clyne is THE BEST!

    We could not have been happier with our decision to work with Gina on photos. She was the most generous, warm, and supportive presence on the day of our ceremony. She is so attentive to a couple's particular vibe and needs. And I cannot emphasize how much this comes across in the end result! We just got photos back, and we were both in tears reliving that day. Such a special experience.

    For our wedding invitations on "The Knot" we used Gina Clyne's photos from a wedding we attended more than a year before we got married because the pictures were so amazing. She's like a ninja photographer capturing every moment before you even know it's happening. Very professional, courteous and just great pictures!

    If you're looking for a photographer who is warm, caring, professional, and awesome — hire Gina! We had the extreme pleasure of working with her this past year, and all we can say is WOW! From our initial meetings to planning up through the big day, Gina was extremely communicative and helpful. We were so happy to have someone who took the time to understood our wants and needs, but also our insecurities and doubts. Gina is a pro at making even the most camera-shy folks comfortable, and she takes photos that make you think "damn, we look sexy!" Throughout our wedding day, Gina did a fantastic job of snapping incredible candid images (like we asked), and when we...

    Gina is amazing! When choosing a photographer, we were drawn to her photos because they felt unique and it was clear she had a point of view. So many wedding photos felt generic to us but hers were artful and full of life. We wanted a documentary style of photography that told a story without us having to spend a lot of time posing or stepping out of the moment to take pictures. We also wanted personality and a cool perspective, and Gina's eye is special. That was obvious looking at her website.

    We don't live in L.A., so our first "meeting" with Gina was via phone. Even through the phone we felt that talking to Gina was...

    I love how Gina captured our wedding. I look back at the pictures and I’m instantly transported back to the loud, colorful, joyous weekend spent with family and friends in Mexico. She documented it perfectly – from the gorgeous scenery to the tiniest of details. I am amazed at how one person could capture so much without me once feeling like I had a photographer in my face. Gina puts everyone at ease. She’s able to wrangle people and move a timeline along while keeping everyone in the party vibe. She’s an experienced traveler which was another one of the many reasons why she was the perfect fit for our destination wedding. Also, she’s so lovely my parents still...

    Gina Clyne is a very talented photographer. Not only does she have a great eye but she has a calming personality. Her presence at my wedding ended up being one of the reasons the night turned out so well. She was always in the right place at the right moment, I never once had to think about where she was, she just knew where to be. Once we got our photos back we were extremely impressed by the quality and quantity of all of them. Now that our friend are getting married they are coming to us to ask for Gina's name because they remember what a great person she was to have on board and they love our wedding photos as much as we do.

    Gina Clyne is incredible and you should hire her immediately. What attracted us initially to Gina was her photo journalistic documentary style of photography which easily stood out in a sea of wedding photography websites. Thankfully when we met her in person, Gina proved to be very easy going and had a laugh that was not only infectious but put us at ease the day of which made being photographed by her a breeze. My husband and I cannot put into words how much we love our photos and we are so thankful we found Gina.
