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 …

“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 …

I promised you part 2 – and here it is! Amanda and Jeff’s wedding, again all in square format and black & white.

This was an awesome, unique and memorable wedding with one heck of a crowd. The two got to see eachother the first time outside the venue and just by chance the boys and the girls were standing on opposite sides. Check out how A&J are eyballing eachother … that calls for a shootout ;-) From there it wasn’t far to get these super cool duel shots.

See more photos on my facebook page!

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!!

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!

Kelli & Robbie are getting married in California. But they live in the South and decided to have their engagement photos done in Charlotte, because it’s sooo much nicer here (JK!!). This Sunday was engagement session craze anyway (3 in a row …) so I was warmed up and ready.

These two are amazing! They turned every little spot in the Queen City into an ad-worthy location. And the light was just awesome—you couldn’t ask for any better.

Stopping in front of Conolly’s on 5th, an Irish pub was a must: Conolly is Robbie’s last name. I want a restaurant with my name too!!

When somebody tells me “we like photos with architecture in them”—I’m game!! It’s the icing on the cake.

Molly and Marshal wanted that, and some urban flair. And they are one of the couples where you just can’t take a bad picture of. We started out at the Blake Hotel which is just so cool! Then we went downtown where we found this narrow alley with the most amazing light. Downtown’s just a playground for great pictures.

And yes, we took a photo with the Disk (real name: “Il Grande Disco” by Arnaldo Pomodoro)—maybe a bit different than usual.

Do we worry about dreary skies? Heck, no! We had such a great time!

EMOTIONAL | ECLECTIC | EXCEPTIONAL

Thomas Geist and Nicolas Gradicsky started out in Germany where they gave an outdated wedding photography industry a new and contemporary face. From there they went to eventually work internationally with base in Europe and the USA.

At this time we have one subsidiary in the USA, located in Charlotte, NC and one in Europe, located in Munich, Germany.

Our US website is www.gg-images.us
our European website is www.gg-images.eu.

Thomas has photographed weddings in many countries in Europe as well as all across the United States.
From castles in Franconian Switzerland to clubs in Las Vegas, from mountain cottages in the Alps to New York fire stations – he has been there. He has done weddings of all styles and can adjust to whatever crazy ideas you come up with.
A degree in architecture gives him an eye for details, aesthetics, and composition.

My style is a fusion of fashion-inspired portraiture and the documentation of awesome moments. I will always push myself to get images that have this certain extra. Together with my wife Critsey I reside in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I can’t wait to meet you!
