A Purple Flame in a Sea of Others

Monday, January 26th, 2009

The Bridal Showcase last Sunday was a great success, it might have even been the best ever!

Thank you to all those who stopped by our booth, we had great responses! Everybody loved our cute little photo boxes with mixed prints to dig into. And the little red album showcasing my Engagement Session entirely shot with a Cell Phone got praise a plenty.

Alas, the abundance of photographers was overwhelming for many visitors. Still we were picked out by couples–there were many, that came to the show to specifically see us! And once brides and grooms were browsing through the photo boxes and you could hear “this is awesome!”, “WOW, look at THIS!” and “Oh my God!”, it became clear that GG-IMAGES is different. And the right choice for many.

So what is it that makes us stand out?

DIFFERENT
My style is far from traditional. It is contemporary, edgy, funky, emotional. And there is a huge demand for this style! 

PROFESSIONAL
Your wedding images  are incredibly important. They are once-in-a-lifetime photos and there is no chance to repeat. So you definitely want to trust a professional who knows their job! I have worked in so many different places from Europe to all across the States, and I have photographed in any conditions you could imagine. From rain to blazing summer sunlight, from dark night to storms. I always nail it.

FUN
If you’re fun, you want a photographer who is fun and who you get along with. I am happy to say that many of my clients became like friends. We had a great time at their wedding or any other occasion we took photos. And the pictures show it. 

CREATIVE
This is 2009! The whole world surrounding us is blazing with creativity. Ads, TV, media, it’s all out there. And honestly, I can’t understand why so many photographers still only get you the same old same old. Yet creativity will never make me miss your precious moments.

RELAX!
You have stress enough in planning your big day and on the day of! I am always calm (may I say cool?), I don’t command people, nor do I overly pose them. You will look your best!

So make sure to book an appointment with me. Email me or give me a call at (704) 777-1615 or toll free at 1 (800) 361-3520 and see what I can do for YOU!
In the meanwhile scroll down and browse through my recent work. There’s a LOT great stuff!
