CD & Me Wedding | Gina + Cody | GCP by Nicole
I was beyond excited for Gina + Cody’s wedding day. It was the most picture perfect October day. Leaves were just starting to change and the weather was gorgeous.
When I arrived to be with the girls there was excitement in the air and the hair and make up team was running ahead of schedule. Gina was just so excited to get married. I loved capturing all of the details, the girls getting ready and all the special moments in between.
Gina’s neighbor graciously offered to let us use their beautiful property for some bridesmaids photos and we were on our way to the church.
Keilia had met up with the guys in the meantime where the vibe was just as laid back. Gina and Cody had each written sweet notes to each other and had gifts of personalized cuff links and a necklace to wear. Absolutely sweet and thoughtful.
When we arrived at the church we had a moment for a first look with Gina’s father. It was the perfect way to officially start the wedding.
The ceremony was filled with so many beautiful moments and the homily was so heartfelt. Gina and Cody were truly surrounded by so much love and all of the people that meant so much to them.
After we arrived at CD & Me we took advantage of the time we had before guests arrived for cocktail to take all of their portraits on the beautiful property. I got excited with each click of my camera falling in love with all of their images. Everything went so smoothly and everyone was able to happily enjoy all of the cocktail hour.
This bridal party was a fun one, with each group having something planned for their entrances….even the parents who I absolutely adored! Cocktail hour was complete with a violinist, passed hors d’oeuvres and great company.
The speeches for sure brought a tear to everyone’s eye, but Father of the bride learned a good trick…wear sunglasses and say “toast” anytime it was getting hard to say his heartfelt speech! There was a lot of “toasting” with all of the speeches.
The rest of the evening went along just as perfectly with lots of dancing by everyone in attendance. I’m sure it was a night that they didn’t want to end.
Wishing Gina + Cody a lifetime of love and happiness
