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.

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!

GG-IMAGES Photography is different!

And here is your chance to find out whether I am the right wedding photographer for you and if my style is what you are looking for:

Book your wedding with GG-IMAGES before May 31, 2009 and you will receive a complimentary engagement session or bridal portrait.

Also, if you book an engagement session or bridal portrait before this date, and then decide to book your wedding with me, the fee for the portrait goes towards your wedding package!

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!!

What do you get if you put a hot looking couple, several awesome dresses, a tux and some great locations together? Well, see for yourself!

I do encourage couples to bring stuff for at least one change of clothes. For this session Jessica took it pretty seriously: she brought so many different dresses, shoes and jewelry that we had to engage one of the luggage trolleys! Seth said: “I have an outfit for each and every of her dresses” – and put on his tux … Go Seth!

Jessica’s mom was there to help with everything and we appointed her Chief Stylist. The couple was so sparkling and natural in front of the camera what a fun shoot!

Annabet visited me at our Bridal Showcase booth where she also told me that Jay really likes the outdoors. So we planned on an engagement shoot at one of the really amazing outdoors places, not much more than 25 minutes from Charlotte: The Historic Latta Plantation in Huntersville, NC. It is right by the Mountain Island Lake and definitely worth a visit!

When I got there I wanted to give Annabet a call and I didn’t trust my eyes when all the cell phone entries starting with “A” were gone ! Fortunately we ran into each other right after that, and we went taking photos right away.

It was chilly and windy but the two of them were brave. After all Annabet and Jay both love Triathlon—I take my hat off to that, it’s really nothing for the faint of heart and they are both in such great shape!

Last, we jumped some fences to get closer to the historic house and a beautiful old barn. We eventually got chased away since it was not yet opened for visitors, but it was all worth it!
