			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manika and Richard are such a nice and handsome couple and their <a title="Charlotte Hindu Wedding Manika &amp; Richard" href="http://blog.gg-images.us/2010/01/charlotte-hindu-wedding-manika-richard/" target="_blank">wedding</a> at the <a title="Westin Hotel Charlotte, NC" href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1383" target="_blank">Westin in Charlotte</a> was outright gorgeous!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might not know it, but a big part of my photography career was architectural photography. And I am happy to announce, that the book <em>St. Paul in München</em> (St. Paul in Munich) has just been released, featuring almost exclusively my photography.</p>
<p>St. Paul is a beautiful big church in Munich, Germany. Finished in 1906, it celebrated its 100th anniversary a few years ago. I accompanied St. Paul&#8217;s centennial and documented the beautiful architecture with all its details in the following years.</p>
<p>If you have ever been to the Oktoberfest in Munich, you have definitely seen St. Paul &#8211; it&#8217;s the church right beside the Oktoberfest. Maybe you have even been inside &#8230;</p>
<p>Here is a small image from the cover  (I have not yet received my copies, so I cannot yet post a larger image) and some impressions from this beautiful church.</p>
<p>Now you know why my church photos at your weddings always rock! ;-)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two years late, Critsey and I are now finally off to our honeymoon. We will be heading to Germany and then to Rome. I know Rome like the back of my hand but for Critsey it will be her first time there. I am so excited to show her one of my all time favorite cities. Not even talking about the food! ;)</p>
<p>We are also very excited about taking the night train from Munich to Rome with our own little cabin in a sleeping coach. Weather forecast for Munich and Rome looks pretty good which makes it easier to leave the beautiful spring in NC.</p>
<p>No worries, we&#8217;re taking cameras. So look forward to some images!</p>
<p>You can reach us again on April 2nd.<br />Enjoy the spring!</p>
