Gesina Marie Photography

otogenic. I did a lot of ugly crying. Gesina worked her magic to give us COPIOUS pictures. I very much wanted candids, and got so many of everyone. I was a nervous wreck on the day and she made me feel SO comfortable (I'm very awkward) I personally enjoy her kind but direct style. She's got MamaBear/Best Friend energy. She won't let you down. Two side notes. Our pictures took 6 weeks to get back. 100% worth it. Also, her price is 100% worth it, if you're a frugal lady like myself and are pinching pennies.

erfect. Our engagement shoot blew us away, and the wedding photos even more so. She is so fun to be around, and I loved working with her. Highly highly recommend!! 20/10!! Thanks girl!!

ly is her talent incredible, but Gesina was so kind, professional, and prompt on our wedding day. She was such a calming presence and made the day even more fun! We absolutely loved working with her and if we could, we would rate her 100 stars!!

auty they captured. Their customer service, advice and positivity was wonderful. Highly recommend her services.

such a special day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

e end of the night. She truly has an eye for both staged and candidate photos. I loved looking through every single one and making custom albums for all of our friends and family. Her editing atheistic is simply beautiful and perfectly matches everything we hoped for in our wedding photos!

ather with grace. We are thrilled with the results. We had no idea we were so photogenic! We are blessed to have been introduced to her. She has earned our highest recommendation. Blessings, Ken and Zara

our day. She is especially talented at detailed and candid pictures. We loved working with Gesina, she is so real and kind. It was fun and easy from the beginning. Thank you Gesina!!

is incredibly organized and provides couples a document to assist in organizing the day of, she works diligently to create a personalized day of timeline (even called the Vail gondola operator for us!) and she is there every step of the way the week and day of. Katie Dahle was the associate photographer for our wedding and I could not have made it through the day without her. When the rain started coming down she came up with backup plans quickly, calmed my nerves and kept a giant smile on her face the entire day. These two were just an ideal team to hire and so thankful we did. Their work stands for itself as our sneak peak has had jaws hitting the floor. Just stunning photos. Will hire them again and again for other events and life milestones!

king with her and looking at her portfolios she knows what she's doing! On the wedding day, she and her second shooter did an amazing job. They got the most beautiful shots at our first look. Then, at our ceremony and reception, they captured everything perfectly! They were super professional, and their teamwork kept family photos moving efficiently without being overbearing or making it stressful. Working with them was a blast. And that was before we even got to see our photos! Gesina got us a sneak peek just a few days after the wedding, and we were already in love with them. When we got the whole album back (which was in the time frame she had stated it would be), we were absolutely amazed! She did such a good job capturing our day and our personalities. There were some classic shots mixed with artsy poses mixed with fun candids. If you are looking for a photographer who does it all, Gesina is it!

her and had so much fun! Not only is she lovely with amazing energy, she gave great directions and we ended up with some GORGEOUS photos. We are so happy with the pictures & highly recommend Gigi!

ime, gave clear instructions, made us feel so comfortable, and helped us have fun as we took photos. We got through photos very quickly - just what we wanted - as she prioritized us enjoying the day and being in the moment. She went above and beyond. I can't recommend Gesina enough for any couple looking for a warm, talented, highly professional wedding photographer!

ing for the right photographer, but neither of us felt we had found our match. There are so many great photographers out there, but, of course, I wanted our pictures to be perfect (I am incredibly picky). I looked through dozens and dozens of local photographers’ portfolios, and nothing I saw really felt right. I was beginning to lose hope until my mom stumbled upon Gesina Marie Photography. I was immediately blown away by the quality and style of her photos - she really stood out amongst everyone else. Not only was I impressed with the photos, but the second we connected via telephone, I knew she was the one. Not only was she kind, patient, and incredibly warm, but she made everything so easy and did not once make us feel stressed, uneasy, or that she just wanted our business. I truly felt that she wanted to make our day special, capture our love, and tell our story with her photography - and she did just that. She worked with us on our specific requests and was accommodating enough to figure out a price we were all happy with. On the day of the wedding, I honestly felt that she was meant to be there. Her presence was incredibly calming and it really made our wedding night more fun and relaxing. The pictures came out WAY better than I had ever hoped for - they are timeless, elegant, filled with emotion, and capture every moment and detail. I would hire her again in a heart beat. I can 100% guarantee will not be disappointed if you choose Gesina Marie Photography - she is hands down the absolute best you can hope for in a photographer.

she made sure we got all the photos we requested. I highly recommend Gesina!

ing. Photo delivery was extremely prompt and there were more pictures than I expected. I would HIGHLY recommended Gesina Marie. There isn't enough good things I can say about her and her photography!

ng run so smoothly and took amazing shots. She is worth every penny. Highly highly recommend her to anyone!

flexible in rescheduling our engagement shoot that got rained out AND in working with us when COVID forced us to change our original wedding plans to a smaller ceremony. When we saw our photographs from our wedding day, we were BLOWN AWAY. They managed to capture every moment of the day. Her and Boris were so friendly and made everyone feel so comfortable. They were great at giving direction for poses, and also at capturing the candid shots as well. I am not joking when I say everyone at our wedding ceremony complimented the two of them and are OBSESSED with how our photos turned out. Hire her - you will be in great hands for whatever event you are needing photographed! We will definitely be using Gesina Marie in the future! :)

l awkward taking photos but Gesina is very gifted at putting you at ease. Also, the communication during the entire wedding planning process was simply the best (even during a pandemic.) I 1000% recommend hiring Gesina Marie photography for your wedding! You will not regret it.

re incredible and I am so happy with the whole experience. I highly recommend them for wedding and/or engagement pictures!

ng or for portraits. Thank you so much!

and she communicated with us well throughout the entire planning process. Our wedding guests even mentioned to us how amazing she was and how much they liked her! Highly recommend!

r photos are a work of art. Her naturalist, catch the moment photos are exactly what I was looking for and with a little bit of her direction I have loved all the engagement and wedding pictures she took. She is a genius.

nd taking picture requests. We received so many compliments from our guests about her professionalism and openness.

esina!

ng us with the lighting of the sunset (her idea to shoot at sunset) and all the beauty the mountains have to offer. She was incredibly easy to work with and open to ideas during the shoot and after when we received our pictures. Couldn't be happier with the outcome, all for a great price as the cherry on top. If I could have her as my wedding photographer back in IL I would! Highly recommend!

ve theirs taken as well. Gesina knocked it out of the park with our engagement photos, and especially our wedding photos. She captured every little detail, and every single smile in the place. Looking back at our photos really felt like we were there again, she makes them come alive. She is so professional, easy to work with, and creative. We LOVE our wedding photos, and so do our friends and family. People keep raving about what a great job she did. Hire her for sure, you will be so grateful you found this gem!

made the time with her fun not awkward at all!

etails, getting ready, and special moments of our big day. She was so patient and kind towards our families and took so many beautiful photos. When we got our photos they were absolutely STUNNING! We got so many photos that we didn't know what to do with all of them. She was so good at not only getting us to interact naturally but take photos that truly capture our relationship. I seriously cannot say enough about her professionalism, kindness, and photography skills.

sion for her work that will inspire you to find a niche that is just as fulfilling. Before taking our engagement pictures, Gesina took time to delve into how we met, and who we were; and she took the time to personalize our pictures to fit that. She took my initial apprehension to being in front of the camera and made me feel so comfortable; there were times I had to remind myself she had a camera in her hand. Our engagement pictures are meaningful and timeless, something that we will cherish for a lifetime.

es are amazing and we absolutely love them. You will be very happy if you use her.

e photo album of there wedding day.

rofessional, sweet and genuine. We really love how easy Gesina makes it for us, none of our pictures ever look posed or forced and we always get so many compliments on them. She does an excellent job of taking pictures that look natural and carefree, yet they look like they belong in a magazine! I can’t say enough how amazed and grateful we are with her work! We 100% recommend her for engagement, weddings, newborn, family and senior pictures!

e. She was already on top of it. She brought multiple umbrellas and had a location under a large tree for shelter already picked out. My entire family was blown away by her creativity and knowledge. We would hire her again in an instant.
