Last Friday I caught up with a 2011 b&g of ours Julia and Greg. We wanted to capture what fall is all about with a little city flavor mixed in. I think we achieved our goal. I am just crazy about these images. The color, the couple, their style. I love it all. I love how Greg is kinda laid back and quiet an how Julia is like the total opposite always laughing and making Greg smile. Really people, I can’t wait for their August 20, 2011 wedding! I know these two will bring it big time. Anyway I had a total blast photographing and getting to know these guys. So let me shut up and slap some images into this post, click publish and head out for the weekend.
Peace,
JP
Meet Julia & Greg.. 
wow!

when I get good stuff like this from the beginning of a shoot I know we’re in for a good night..


The color in Washington Park was popping!


loving this one..

Per Julia’s request we hit the swings. She’s still a kid!

The color in this image is straight up silly.

Just relaxing on some pine needles. Thats all.


Oh the light…

wardrobe!

I love this spot.

Dont think I wont make you dance at your engagement session.. cause I might.


such a beautiful b&w..

still dancing a little..

I think this is my #1 fav..


oh these too. I love them.

I love shooting in this spot. An Elario original location players..

Julia really is incredible to photograph. This isn’t even an up close shot and yet her eyes pull you in.

Looks like they’re living on the edge here huh?


Another fav..

A parking garage folks.. its not always sunshine, rainbows and kittens. I go for a simple location and let my couples carry the rest..

I knew Julia had a goofy face series in her. Greg just laughs at her..

Quite possibly one of my favorite “bling shots” to date.. check back next summer for their wedding!

These are gorgeous!! Julia, you look like an actual model.
What amaaazing pictures! These are so so great! Julia and Greg– you guys are such a gorgeous couple :) An incredible shoot!
I agree that having someone looking, and participating like Julia, seem making photography sooooo much easier. Love your work Joe.
I love the b&w with the brick wall in the background. Oh, your b&w processing just kills me, I love it!
OMG! you guys are absolutely stunning! these pics should be in a magazine! so happy for you two!
Julia you look the most beautiful I’ve ever seen you!! Greg, you look pretty good too :)
You both look AMAZING!!! Can’t wait for the wedding photos!
Beautiful photos, beautiful couple. Loving being your aunt and future aunt-in-law.
What beautiful pictures!! They made me cry – What am I going to do at your wedding!!
The couple is so cute. Great shots… wild yellows in the begining. I love the shots on the edge in Albany… totally looks like a backdrop!
J, these are so fantastic! Conspicuously absent is a “taking over the world” shot, but I think your full funny-face repetoir is in there. As far as I’m concerned you have already brought it big time. Xoxo, S
Ok, so you know I’m a rural girl, so of course the entire series in Washington Park is AMAZING!! Seriously, I can’t stop scrolling through the first 4 or 5 images with that awesome color in the park. And then the ones of them sitting in the pine needles with the light coming in from the left??? It’s ridiculous! I love them! And the funny faces series is super cute! :) Congrats on the engagement!!
i can’t choose a favorite!!!! light=awesome! oh ya and them living on the “edge” i was freakin out!!! lol im a little afraid of heights (shhhh don’t tell anyone.)
Um, can I order one poster sized? I want the one where Julia looks sultry…oh wait, that’s ALL of them! Julia and Greg, you guys look fabulous!! The outfits, scenery, and lighting are all perfect (I bet you could sell some of the first set to Uggs for a marketing campaign..(“Uggs will help you find a husband” – could be a big seller)
And don’t worry the poster sized photo comment was a joke – I actually want wallet sized of each one. Amazing pics!!
You guys look sooooooo adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG OMG! :) :) :) ;)
But seriously, amazing photos! Looking great and not at all awkward, which is quite a feat
Great shots! Love the park (sunshine, rainbows & kittens-lol) with all the pretty yellow….but love the parking lot shots too….great dress Julia! Congratulations!
AHHHHH!!! Obsessed! Obviously Elario Photography is the absolute best and wouldn’t have it any other way!
Great work JP! Can’t wait for May 29th!!
Julia and Greg – You guys look amazing! Love the skirt Jules!
xo
OMG these are faabbbuulous! Julia and Greg look fantastic and all the shots are great! But I can’t believe Julia talked so much… she’s usually so shy and reserved. Excellent work!!!!
These are awesome! Again, loving the fall colors and couples! :)
Ok, while i have to give due to the gorgeous first handful with the light and the GORGEOUS yellow leaves and the equally beautiful couple… my favorite is the swings!!!!!! I would be right there too, always a kid at heart. :) Also loving the silly series, she’s just goofing around and greg is like, ok sure why not? :)
Julie – your skirt is adorable too! You guys dressed the part very well. :) Looks like you guys had fun. Really, these images are awesome. You guys look great, and the backgrounds (whether the simple garage or the amazing shining sun and yellow leaves) – top!!!!! :)
Congrats on your engagement! Looking forward to seeing the wedding!
Thank you JP!!! We had so much fun and these look absoultely A-MAZ-ING!!! AND….just like you promised…there are no double chins!!! I am so excited and so happy!!!!!
i love these!! they are so beautiful, all the fall color is amazing. i really love the ones of them on the ledge with the buildings in the background, and the one of them laying on the pine needles and really, i just think they all are awesome! i just love looking at your pictures!! i can look through them over and over and over!!
