GG-IMAGES

“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 …

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!

In September I had the pleasure of coming along on an E-session shoot with Andrena Douglass from Los Angeles.
Together with David Mielcarek from Cinematic we shot in the heart of Manhattan.
But to make things a bit more interesting I chose my cell phone’s camera for the entire shoot!

It’s not the tools …
