You might already know that my wife Critsey is the Nation’s leading boudoir photographer. She is even well known across Europe. If you are looking for the highest class elegant and sexy photos to give to him or for yourself, she is the one to look into.

Tracy & Jim – Red Sox meet Yankees

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Yes, they wear caps of two different teams – and love each other! And make no mistake: Tracy’s cap is the worn out one and Jim’s was all pristine ;-)

We wanted to get the nice fall mood that was in the air and it turned out to be a day that makes you think cinnamon, apples and hot tea. The two brought their adorable dog that enjoyed the park just as much. We rounded the shoot off with some uptown locations and when they changed clothes, Jim also switched watches – that’s style!

Tracy and Jim are such pleasant people, I am very much looking forward to photograph their wedding. Oh, and by the way: they have the killer-date: 10/10/10 …

Debbie & Collin – can you say “gorgeous”?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

“Countryside” was the plan. And it turned out amazing. Debbie and Collin not only are the sweetest couple, they are also absolutely gorgeous! The weather tried to compete by being a crystal clear fall day and every picture we got gave me the chills.

While I was checking the monitor on the back of my camera, it became clear to me what I wanted to do. This time I wanted to leave the images pretty much untouched. Some photographers seem to need heavy processing on all the photos they show. So for all those of you who always wanted to know whether the pictures I take look good without anything special done to them, here goes …

Dominika & Florian, Oberammergau, Germany – Part 1

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Bear with me – this is going to be long. But it will take to places you might have never been. And it will show you things you might have never seen.

I consider myself very lucky and blessed to photograph weddings in so many different places, even on different continents. So it was a special honor for me to document this wedding. It took place in the little town of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany. Despite it being small, Oberammergau is the place where the world famous Passionsspiele (Passion Plays) take place annually. Starting in 1634 these plays are performed exclusively by laymen, the inhabitants of Oberammergau.

Dominika and Florian are locals and by chance and luck I got to be their wedding photographer. This wedding was founded in many very old traditions, all the costumes worn are genuine local style. They are the real deal – not cheesy Oktoberfest outfits. You could probably buy a small car for what many of the guests and family wore. Jewelry, some centuries old.

My luck was, being from close to this place, speaking the dialect, knowing the habits. You can’t just walk in and say “hey, I am a great wedding photographer from the USA” to be part of a wedding like this. Come and witness strange habits, cool outfits – and tons of fun!
