Wedding: Russell and Gina

She stood in the small bride's room laughing nervously and adjusting her veil. On the other side of the door, he waited excitedly. The intimate ceremony couldn't start soon enough. After 12 years and 2 beautiful children, they couldn't have been more ready to spend the rest of their lives together.

Gina and Russell's wedding was unlike any other I've photographed. It was small and family focused and fit them perfectly. Their son and daughter, and Gina's son all played a large part, and it was definitely a family affair. It is such an honor to be able to photograph a wedding, but especially for friends!

Here are a few of my favorites from their day.
(Bonus points if you recognize her teenage son, and Man of honor).



Her son, Javier Jr. You may remember him from some of my previous posts :)



I love the little girls waiting for the ceremony.


Yay!!! Married!


Russell had all kinds of great ideas for photos. I love that they incorporated Gina's son into these and his love of guitar.

Gina, you are beautiful! :)



Look at their cute coats...

These are my favorites.

Javier and his girlfriend, Tracy. You may recognize here too.
This sums up their family so well :)
