Other Video Services on Request
Gina also offers video of Archival Moments, directed by the client. For example, if a couple wants video of all the ceremony site, or all the toasts, full length, captured raw with minimal editing as a separate video file (up to 1 hour cut length) to document the day, rather than artistic highlights, she is happy to accommodate. She also enjoys doing Engagement Films, where Gina would capture snippets of video of an engagement celebration into a 30 second to 1 minute clip that the couple could use on Social Media or Wedding Site to announce their upcoming wedding; essentially a video “teaser” set to music.
Gina has always had a passion to artistically capture the essence of special moments. After graduating with a Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design from Fort Hays State University, she began her career as a designer, book coach, illustrator, videographer...all forms of artistic expression for clients across the country for the past 30 years. Upon moving to Durango and feeling the breathtaking environment of the mountains, the dynamic colors, the kindness of the people…this all captivated her in a new, inspiring way. She says that collaborating with Allison Ragsdale Photography to offer an all-inclusive, artistic wedding capture in this environment is a dream come true. “Allison is a pure joy to work alongside. She is a calm presence, an encourager, a collaborator, and a beautifully kind person to work with on every shoot. And behind the scenes, she is a skilled photo editor with a mastery of color. All of her photos are beautifully exquisite. No wonder she has been voted one of the Best Photographers in Durango for the past 10 years in a row."
Gina Laiso
Videographer
Allison never wanted to do anything besides be a photographer. She took a B&W darkroom photography class in high school and never looked back. Convinced she would be the next Ansel Adams, she discovered while earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Photography at the Art Institute of Colorado, that her true passion was in creating portraits for people. She began work as a portrait photographer right out of college and has been voted one of the Best Photographers in Durango the past 10 years in a row. Her goal as a Durango wedding photographer is to create classic, candid, and romantic photos that transport you back to your wedding day every time you see them on your walls. Her wedding photos are about love, no doubt…but they are also about vistas and views and vows; candid and narrative stories from getting ready to your dance coverage to thoughtful photographs of friends and family celebrating your day. Her style combines interactive styling and posing with a dash of classical portraiture. The result is that you have beautiful portraits that are not overly stiff or posed but feel and look organic and timeless.

A Talented Trio; how it all came together
Allison first captured Hannah's talent behind the lens during her high school senior portrait session, foreseeing a bright future in photography for her. Years later, this prophecy came to fruition as Hannah joined Allison's team, infusing it with a fresh, edgy perspective that beautifully complements Allison's impressive 16-year tenure in the industry. Initially collaborating with Gina as photographers and model, the duo expanded their dynamic team to include Gina's artistic video capture. Their mutual admiration and professional respect evolved into a seamless partnership, making Gina an essential member of their creative journey. Together, this trio harmonizes seasoned expertise with innovative vision, continually redefining the art of photography and videography.
We work together as a cohesive photo/video team to capture all your magical moments. We would love to collaborate with you.
