Hey guys! Thanks for swinging by.  The wedding season is winding down but i have a lot of engagement sessions lined up. Its definitely a good idea for couples to get their pictures taken early since it gets hectic later.  I had a really nice fun time with Linnea and Vincent and i can’t wait for their big day next year.  Check out how it all started and the proposal story below. Enjoy!

How it all started:
Vince and I met at the University of Georgia. I was in graduate school and he was completing his Senior year and final collegiate football season as a Bulldog. Although I never tutored Vince, I actually tutored and mentored student athletes at Georgia and ended up being pretty cool with a few of his fraternity (line) brothers/teammates. We were originally introduced by them at a party my friends and I attended in Athens. A semester or two had passed and we never crossed paths again. I found myself at “The Rankin” late-night preparing for the new semester and working on my own school work. I didn’t even notice Vince walk in (hard to believe considering his is a small 6’7″) but he came over,shook my hand said hello re-introduced himself, and asked me how my summer was and school etc. as if we were old friends. We had a brief conversation and who would have known that simple “Hello” turned into the two of us finding our “forever”.

Proposal Story:
Tucked back in the woods at my grandfather’s house is a quaint and quiet creek. My cousins and I used to go on “adventures” through the woods to this creek all the time. As we have become older no longer is it an adventure spot but often time a place to escape in our thoughts. I told Vince about the creek and told him that I would show him one day. Fast forward a few years as my family is preparing for Christmas 2011 at my granddad’s house, matching pajamas and all, I finally got the chance to show him the creek. It was a typical sunny December day in Georgia, perfect to go exploring while we were waiting on the rest of my family to arrive. We head towards the woods….if you guys could have been there you would have laughed watching me of all people lead this excursion and Vince following behind getting beat down by all the tree limbs and prickly bushes in his path. I look up and suddenly everything looks the same, I swear I can hear the water but….I know it didn’t take 20minutes to get to this creek and after awhile we both made the executive decision to just turn back around…Thank God Vince was once a boy scout! We finally reached the clearing, both of us have worked up a little sweat on this adventure and we paused. Vince had to do a bug check and make sure none were in my hair. He then looked me in my eyes, held my hands, and started telling me how much I meant to him (HA I’ll spare you all the sappy details)! He then said he didn’t want to begin the new year without knowing I was going to be by his side and then…..Bling! Bling! He asked me to marry him, YAY!

TGIF!!! I am sure you are looking forward to the weekend..i know i am 🙂 . I’ll get it rolling with a great engagement session. The saying that the world can be so small tends to sound Cliché but it really is. Keisha found me online but after we exchanged details i found out we literally live in the same sub-division. What are the odds?..lol. Our connection was meant to be 🙂 .  I had a great time with Keisha and Ervan who are both very down to earth,  loving and fun. The shoot took place at the SweetWater Creek State Park. Congrats guys on your engagement. Check out some images from the shoot. Enjoy!

Hello there! I have an awesome wedding to share today. Davita and David are from New Orleans so they had a great idea to have a “Creole” themed wedding. The wedding had an exciting party atmosphere which you would expect at a Creole wedding. I had a blast and that’s an understatement.  When Davita and David started dancing to a New Orleans band playing on the street during their engagement session i knew their wedding would be a major party. I am so glad i was a part of this wedding. The wedding took place at the Fox Theatre. Congrats Davita & David.I wish you both a happy married life! Check out some images from the day. Enjoy!

Happy Friday! Going to switch gears a bit. Today i have a surprise proposal to share. Matt contacted me about his big plans and i was more than excited to be a part of it. Kristin loves flowers so the plan was to propose at the Atlanta Botanical Garden which has a ton of flowers. Matt also did not want Kristin to know pictures were being taken until she says the big “Yes”. Obviously i had to make sure i was not seen when they were both walking around the garden which was not an easy task..lol. Thankfully everything worked out and Matt & Kristin are now Engaged! Congrats guys. Check out a few shots from the day.

Hello there! Thanks for dropping by. Happy new month. The year has gone by so fast! Tanika & James had a beautiful wedding in Jamaica. It’s really hard not to have a nice destination wedding but Tanika & James had an amazing wedding. It was far from the typical island wedding. It was a super classy and stylish wedding. The wedding ceremony had a breathtaking view overlooking the Caribbean Sea. It really does not get better than that. Everyone just wanted to have a great time and i don’t blame them because Jamaica is a really fun place to be. I had so  much fun i had a hard time leaving..lol. The wedding took place at the Ritz Carlton Resort, Rose Hall Jamaica. Thank you Tanika & James for allowing me to be a part of your special day. I wish you both a happy married life! Check out some images from the day. Enjoy!

Hello Everyone and thanks for dropping by.  I first met Tanika and James back in 2010 when Tanika planned a big surprise birthday party for her new boyfriend James. When Tanika contacted me earlier this year and told me they got engaged i was very happy for both of them. I was even more excited when she decided she wanted me capture her big day in Jamaica. To start off the amazing weekend we took some really cool evening shots at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Hotel. Tanika and James are very stylish so these shot are not your typical island pictures..lol. I’ll blog the awesome wedding pictures soon so stay tuned. Enjoy!

 Hello Everyone. Thanks for swinging by. I have another amazing “Cultural Fusion” wedding to share.  Nya is Kenyan and Nigerian (Mom is from Kenya and dad is from Nigeria) and Abdul is Nigerian. (Check out their E-session) It’s no secret that i am a huge fan of cultural weddings so when Nya & Abdul first contacted me i was excited about the opportunity. Their goal was to have a wedding that has a Kenyan, Nigerian and an American feel to it. To the average couple that would be hard to accomplish but not for Nya & Abdul because they brilliantly merged everything together!  The wedding was well planned and had lots of surprises that had guests engaged and excited.  The wedding ceremony was held at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Atlanta and the reception at the Georgia Aquarium which is an awesome venue.  I really had a great time shooting this wedding.  Everyone had a blast regardless of where they were from and that’s how it should be. A big congrats to Nya & Abdul! Thank you for trusting me to tell the story of your wonderful wedding. I wish you both a love filled and blessed married life! Check out some image from the day. Enjoy!
