ENGAGED: NICOLE + NIK (PART ONE)

By Ryan ⋅ May 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

As some of you may know, I’m not strictly a wedding photographer. I love doing editorial, fashion, and music photography, and that’s how I got the chance to originally meet Nicole last year. We worked hard on an ill-fated project for a local magazine that sadly never went to print (but can be seen here). Although the magazine never came to fruition, Nicole and I became friends, and when Nik (who’s hands-down one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet) proposed to her I was beyond excited when they asked me to be their wedding photographer. They’re an amazing couple and I’m really honored to be a part of their wedding plans, so thank you guys.

This was an amazing shoot for me, and a lot of people helped out in making it happen, so below is all the people that made this shoot kick ass. Not only that, we have an awesomely themed Part Two of this session, coming next week. At the bottom of this post is a preview of what’s to come, but suffice it to say that it’ll be like watching Mad Men, which means it’s pure 60’s sexiness. Anyway, enjoy Part One, and come back next week for the grand finale. ‘Til next time..
