The New York Engagement Photos of Alia & Izreel | Photo Shoot at the OCULUS

English:
The New York Engagement Photos of Alia and Izreel. I have to admit, we snuck into the World Trade Center for Alia and Izreel’s engagement photos guerilla style. You actually need a permit to take photos in there (which is stupid if you ask me. Such a beautiful space should be used for art) but I rather ask for forgiveness than for permission and so we carefully made our way through this magnificent new building in downtown New York. The three of us had so much fun exploring the space. And the red jacket that Alia was wearing together with Izreel’s blue coat was the perfect color pop in this stunning white space. Now I hardly can wait for their wedding in May. Lets see where that day will take us. Alia and Izreel, thank you for breaking some rules with me. ;)

Die New York Verlobungsbilder von Alia und Izreel. Ich muss zugeben, dass wir uns heimlich in das neue World Trage Center für die Verlobungsfotos geschlichen haben. Eigentlich benötigt man dort eine Genehmigung um Fotos zu machen. Allerdings halte ich es oft so, dass ich mich lieber entschuldige als das ich um Erlaubnis frage. Und so schlichen wir also durch dieses fantastische Gebäude in Downtown New York. Die rote Jackie die Alia trug und die blaue Jackie von Izreel waren ein toller Kontrast zu dem hellen Hintergrund. Jetzt freue ich mich bereits auf ihre Hochzeit im Mai. Mal schauen wo wir da so unser Unwesen treiben. ;)

The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay | An East River Esplanade Wedding The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay. Love knows no boundaries and sometimes it takes you to new and exciting places. Just like it did for Louise and Jay, who traveled from Scotland to New York City to elope.

Happy Valentine’s Day my wife, my rock, and the heart of our family. 💕

I still love her 85 times to the moon and back. She’s the calm when things get chaotic, the one who sees the good in every situation, and the glue that holds us all together. Her laugh can brighten any day, and her support is the kind of magic you don’t take for granted.

I love our trips to the Baltic Sea, our Disney adventures, and the simple, everyday moments that make life with her so special. She’s my business partner, the love of my life, and my best friend - and I’m endlessly grateful for her, for us, and for the life we’ve built together.

This October, we’ll celebrate 20 years of marriage, and I swear I love her more with every passing year. ❤️

And, fun fact: our daughter took this photo. The talent clearly runs in the family. 😉📸
