Justin and Danielle's Wedding

"Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall."

And that's exactly how these two lovebirds met, became friends, and fell in love. Justin and Danielle are the kind of people who are so down to earth, that it explicitly reflects on the bond they both share with their family and friends. Those closest to them can say that they were made for each other, undoubtedly seen by the love and adoration being exchanged from her to him and vice versa. It was a pleasure for us to work with these two and be a part of their wedding. There's nothing more enjoyable than to work with a couple who's down for whatever- and by that, we mean getting dirty, enduring the cold, standing in the pouring rain, and anything else we asked- just to get the shot!

The ceremony and reception took place at the Luther Burbank Art and Garden Center in Santa Rosa, Ca. Right before the bride was to arrive, the rain decided it would make a little visit... and consequently never left! With very limited "dry" space to work with, we had to compensate with what we had. In the end, the groom's initial worries and fears of his bride's disappointment due to the sudden rain all ceased to exist. Surrounded by very close family and friends, the rain faded into the night as the love and support, the toasts and speeches, the Uncle Franks and their jokes, all came together to share in the love of the two people venturing into a life long journey together.

Please enjoy some of these highlights of the day and for full gallery please see here!

I think your take on the couple's attire is interesting! You zoomed in close on lapels and pins and bouquets without showing faces. I also like the composition on the photos that aren't head-on or straight. Pretty risky for wedding pics, Mr. Gines!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Given all of the obstacles that were thrown our way on the day of our wedding, we were very nervous about what kind of pictures we would be able to get. Pouring rain, crowding family and friends... Leric and Kelly put up with it all to get shots that we have fallen in love with. We don't know what we would have done without your creative eye Leric!
