Description "I don't get
Many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns
And stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day
And I know

That I am, I am
I am the luckiest"

Ben Folds - The Luckiest

They are married tomorrow.

I took this picture four months ago in Central Park, approximitely 2 blocks north of The Metropolitan Museam of Art.

This and one other picture are my wedding presents to them. I had them professionaly printed and framed. I've never been more proud of myself for keeping a secret. They were very shocked when they opened the brown paper tonight in the restaurant.

N80 50mm 1/1.8 @ most likely 1/500+ iso 400.

Congratulations Mike and Gretchen. You are two of the most beautiful people I know.

That photo is so immensly cute! The way they look at eachother and hold eachother. So very lovely.
And the setting is great, they're like a big ball of energetic love in a cold place which doesn't matter because they're together. So romantic

I'm getting soppy here Let's keep it to: very lovely shot!

I love seeing photos of this couple. There is a definite chemistry between then which is so obvious in your shots. Plus you can imagine them to be genuinely great people. If I was them I would have loved the pics too.

They are genuinely great people. Which helps me quite a bit. I don't enjoy making ugly people look beautiful. It's not honest.

That is such an amazing shot, Nickolus. I wish I could capture emotion in my pictures like you do. You can totally feel their happiness. All couples should be more like them. I know they'll be just fine in life. What was the other shot you gave to them?

Nope. I haven't been uploading in a while. I sort of lost inspiration, but I think I'm back into the swing of things. Look for more shortly.
