oh these two.. i liked gina the minute i sat down with her. she is not only beautiful but so super sweet and her smile just genuinely lights up a room. I was so excited to do their engagement photography and finally meet darius. and guys, he loooooovvvvvvvves her. watching them together kinda made me melt. how he looks at her is how every man should look at his woman. so stinking sweet. had the sun not gone down and left us in the dark, i could’ve photographed them all night. .jpg)

gina | hometown: hicksville, ohio | home now: columbus, oh | emergency room nurse | 5 words (as described by darius): strong, confident, trustworthy, stunning, pure

the proposal: we were in the Bahamas with his sister and her husband. we were watching the sunset the first night alone together and I looked over as he went down on one knee and started with my full name, and then I cried!
most looking forward to at the wedding:
gina: knowing that even if all the little things don’t work out the way we plan, I leave Mrs. Darius Scott
darius: That smile of hers. When I get to see her in her dress for the first time and just be overwhelmed with happiness knowing that I get to spend the rest of my days with this woman.
It’ll finally kick in that this is real, not a dream.
wedding planning stresses: the little details, but everything is pretty much ready to go!
wedding planning advice for future brides and grooms:
gina: pick one or two things you want to go big on and keep everything else simple
darius: Pay attention and provide input when necessary. Even though in reality we men don’t really care about the details (we just want to be with you), it is nice to have an ear for what’s going on.
Every once in a while your bride might throw you a curveball and ask you for your opinion on some kind of detail, so you have to be prepared! Besides that, stay out of her way and try to make it as painless as possible for her.
