GG-IMAGES

Yes, I loved Kelly and Chris’ engagement session – it was stunning! And the two have this talent of positioning themselves in front of dark backdrops that makes for these awesome pictures ;-)
Shortly before their ceremony was about to start at the beautiful Palmer Building, the rain came down. They didn’t lose their great mood and everybody helped set chairs up inside. Chris surprised everybody with giving Kelly a dip for their kiss after the ceremony – you rock, Chris!

Their party was boiling and their cake – well, see for yourself … And look: purple GG-Images colored Hershey Kisses ( ;-) ) and candied sugar in brown and azure like the bridesmaids dresses! Chris topped it all at the groom-and-mother dance. Yep, he wore this way cool Stetson.
Gosh, and I totally love them dancing with Chris singing for Kelly! Despite ongoing rain their sparkler exit was a blast. As was the whole wedding.

Gosh, these two are adorable! Ashley and Nick wanted something a bit more funky – voilà!
First we went to the South 21 cult Hamburger drive-in (yes, their Big Boy is a meal of its own!). After that we went where nobody goes. And that’s why we went. ;-)

The two were absolutely good with the cool and dreary weather – who cares! We got awesome pictures. Last, we rummaged some cute little shops finally got the shot in the storefront window that Critsey had envisioned for a long time now. Next we had lunch at the Penguin, another cult place! The fried pickles there are excellent, and Ashley and Nick are still talking of them. Yummy.

I am now officially Ashley and Nick’s fan and we can’t wait for their wedding in December. It’s unavoidable that we’ll be having a blast.

Amanda and Jeff are a very cool and charming couple, and they like things a little special. And I have been waiting for a couple like them to finally do a style project I have been waiting for a long time to realize it: all black and white, all square!
Sometimes you only find out how much you love something (or somebody) when you don’t have it. And I love color! So to leave it out completely I had to get myself in a special state of mind … Ok, I cheated a bit. I just couldn’t not show you the color of Amanda’s hot red shoes!

This is one steaming hot couple! It was one of those sessions where the magic happens and the images shift up one gear!We can’t wait do shoot their wedding this weekend!
We started out Midtown and then went over to DUMBO where we came across the coolest little coffee bar. It was very eclectic, had pictures and stuff everywhere and such cool furniture.
DUMBO was the busiest we’ve ever seen it at night. There were crowds out sitting and enjoying the evening.

What is better than an Engagement Session? Two! We met Sherry and Kevin in NY for dinner and took the opportunity to get a few night shots on Times Square. This is a great place for photos and since the two are such a sweet couple how could one resist?
Their photos from their Engagement Session in Central Park and on Brooklyn Bridge rocked, and these will add in nicely to their NY theme.
We can’t wait for their wedding in Cancun this week!

These two were hot! The fire hydrant gives it away ;-) We are definitely excited about their wedding, it will be partly Greek (Elaine is Greek) and this promises fun, fun, fun!
I love the looks I get when I ask couples to walk down a shabby staircase and then love on each other, but the results are so worth it!!

We stayed out on our super cool Hotel’s roof garden. And although we had planned to hit the streets after this, we couldn’t leave without taking some shots in the room and the sexy lobby!
A night shot at DUMBO was next and it went great. You won’t believe how many people take photos @ DUMBO at night! It was packed!

These two were so inspiring! No place was too crazy, no alleyway too shabby. They always giggled and you wouldn’t expect how sensual they can also be! And we were amazed how far we made it – in complete contrast to the usual sessions where we get stuck because we see so much cool stuff everywhere …

Kelly and Chris are one of these couples that immediately turn people’s heads. Cute and handsome! And they made it clear from the beginning that they love the more edgy stuff. Oh no! (JK!)

Critsey shot this session with me and we went to some cool spots downtown Charlotte. Kelly and Chris brought Daphne, their adorable dog and they even got her a pearl collar for the shoot! I think she felt extremely proud.

Kelly told us they would change into something more dressy for the second part of the session and the dress she wore was extremely cute. Plus yellow shoes that caught Critsey’s attention. She’s a shoe gal ;-)

Oh … and Chris dips like a champ for sure!

Their wedding is going to be at the beautiful Palmer Building and I am looking forward to photograph this event. It’s going to be a blast!

The weather report was not very good. But that can’t stop Critsey and me from taking pictures. And Sherry and Kevin were in good spirits too while Joni of Creations Hair & Makeup enhanced Sherry’s natural beauty in our hotel room. While we chatted there, Kevin told us that he used to live in Australia for several years. I would have never guessed – he has no Aussie accent at all! When we left the hotel the rain started.

But not for long and by the time we got to Central Park it was already getting nicer. The two are an intriguing couple and we had fun right away! I am still impressed that we made it to more parts of the Park that I had thought. Usually we don’t get far because we find so many little spots nearby.
We used the opportunity of a cello player in the Park for a little dance and then moved on to Brooklyn Bridge.

Now the weather was wonderful, and on a Saturday afternoon like this Brooklyn Bridge is packed! No worries, we love it and it has become our specialty to get pictures on the bridge that make it look as if there were hardly any or no people at all!
We had such a great time with Sherry & Kevin and we can’t wait to photograph their wedding!
