G’Mariecee Portrait Studios

Hi! I'm Gina Marie! I am wife and a mom of two, a bonus mom of three, and a fur mom of five- three kitties and two dogs! Our family resides on a quiet lake west of Alexandria. Together we enjoy campfires, biking, fishing, and playing in the lake. I absolutely ADORE wedding days. Waking up on wedding days is like waking up on Christmas morning. I can't sleep the night before, I wake up raring to get moving, and I can't wait to get to shooting! But before we can get to that magical day we have some planning and an engagement shoot to do!

Those are great times as well. So, how did I learn this amazing profession? Well, back in college I audited some photography classes but I really got into the profession by doing a TON of reading and attending in person classes with the Minnesota Professional Photographer's Association. Through the association I had the pleasure of learning from Jerry Ghonis, Charleton Churchill, Booray Perry, Catherine Anderson, Jeff and Lori Poole, and Marceliano Munoz. These amazing photographers give their hints and tips to creating beautiful wedding day imagery while creating a fun, memorable day.
