Monet & Justin love the city so we took a walk around the city and got some great shots in the process. I actually look forward to these walks because i get to chat with clients about everything like who started the stalking to get the love train rolling 🙂 . In this case according  to Monet it was all Justin..lol. Monet & Justin are two down to earth people and i had a fun time hanging with them. Monet & Justin will tie the knot early next year and while it seems like a long time away i am definitely looking forward to it. Check out some pics from the day. Enjoy!

Fotos by Fola Blog is 2! Well, it turned two was last month specifically but i was out of the country so was unable to acknowledge it. However, before things start getting extremely busy this upcoming wedding season i just wanted to use this opportunity to thank all Fotos by Fola Friends/supporters/followers. You are truly appreciated. I still remember when the journey started and you were all there through the learning process till now. It makes my job much more enjoyable when i know i have an amazing group of people supporting me. Thank you so much! A special thanks to my only FBF partner – My Wife for her assistance in all aspects of the business. Without her initial push there would not have been a FBF. I look forward to capturing all the special moments this year and many more years to come. Thank you all so much. God bless!

A post is not complete without pictures. Checkout one image from each post this past year. Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! Happy new month!

Ironically the first post of this month is a newborn post :). Remember Jessica and Johnathan’s Maternity Session? Well, their bundle of joy arrived a bit early and both parents were extremely happy to finally meet their baby boy Cameron. I am very happy for the Johnson Family as this has been a true journey for the entire family. God bless your family. Enjoy a few images of baby Cameron with mom and dad.

Hey guys. Thanks for swinging by. I have a super fun couple on the blog today.  I know i always say the couples i feature are fun but honestly i think i only attract fun and cool couples which i am extremely grateful for :).  Can you imagine taking pictures of people that are not remotely interested?? lol. Rasheeda and Antonio are two people i would always want to hang out with because they are really great people to be around. It was supposed to rain on the day of the shoot but it turned out to be one beautiful spring day. We started off at the historic Centennial Olympic Park Atlanta then proceeded to the ultra sleek Glenn Hotel rooftop Sky Lounge. We really had an amazing time and i can’t wait for the big day in May.  Check out the story on how it all started + the proposal story below.  Enjoy!

Antonio and I met 5 years ago through one of my best friends and her husband.  He had his eyes on me for a while but never said anything.  One day we were at a mutual friend’s cookout and he asked me on a date.  The timing was just right for the both of us and we have been inseparable ever since. We are truly a perfect fit for each other. We compliment each other like peanut butter & jelly, wine and cheese, and like sugar and Kool-Aid… Lol!  We’re just better together.  On July 23, 2011, Antonio told me that he was taking me out to celebrate my birthday and that my BFF and her Husband (the same couple we met through) were coming also.  We went to the Botanical Garden where he popped the question in the rose garden.  It was a total surprise!  After the initial shock and the tears… I said yes J. We’re excited and look forward to the next chapter in our lives that will start on May 5, 2012, that’s when we 2 will become 1!!!

Hello guys! I just got back in town today from short family vacation to Nigeria. Well, i am back and ready to share this next post.

Meet Katie and John. These two are true love birds and you can feel it in the images. On this shoot i wanted to focus on them and allow the genuine emotions convey their amazing love story.  Katie and John love the theatre so we incorporated a few “play” props into the shoot.  I am really looking forward to the wedding in June. Check out a short story about the couple and a few images from the session. Enjoy!

We met in July 2009 in a community theatre production. Over the next two months we kept running into each other in the theatre. In September we were to the point where we were constantly talking when we weren’t at the theatre and on Sunday, October 4 he asked me out on a date. Fast forward to Tuesday, October 4, 2011, our two year anniversary. We were exchanging presents before we both had to go to work that day. I had parent teacher conferences that day so I had to be at work earlier than usual. Before he gave me my present, he told me to close my eyes. When I opened them, he was down on one knee, asking me to marry him! It was 5:30 in the morning and we were still in our pajamas. He told me he just couldn’t wait and he wanted something to make me smile while I was at work that day. It definitely did!

Hello everyone!
last week I put up Lauret and Tosin’s wedding. Next i would like to share their traditional engagement ceremony. This was definitely a great and fun ceremony! Coincidentally, I am curently in Nigeria so this is an authentic Nigerian post. Congrats to Lauret and Tosin! Enjoy some images from the day.








































This is where they bring out a fake bride and ask the groom if that is his bride or not? Tosin passed this test with flying colors!




Here comes the “real” bride…lol

Hello and TGIF! My apologies for the short break 🙂 . It has been surprisingly busy early this year. I have a lot in store and can’t wait to share with you all.

Meet yet another awesome couple Onyema and Acie. The story of their relationship is a true love story. They first met each other while in high school and through all the years they managed to keep the love going.  Onyema and Acie love the city of Atlanta so they wanted their pictures show the amazing Atlanta backdrop and some great locations. We started off at Piedmont park which has a great Atlanta skyline view.  Then we proceeded to the Fabulous Fox Theatre and The world of Coke. Onyema and Acie love to play pool so we hit up Dave & Busters which was really fun. This was a really interesting and fun e-session.  Below is a short story about the couple and some pictures from the shoot. Enjoy.

Onyema and Acie have been going strong for 11 years and counting. They were high-school sweethearts, college lovers and now soon-to-be life-long partners. Acie first met Onyema at the local skating rink where she worked while in high school. From the moment they met they became almost inseparable and quickly became best friends! Wherever you saw Onyema you saw Acie and wherever you saw Acie you saw Onyema.  Their love for one another grew stronger over the years and on May 2, 2011, Acie asked Onyema the magic question…to spend the rest of her life with him.  The answer, of course was yes!”

Cassandra & Shelton tied the knot in January. I’ve actually never shot a wedding in January before. This was a really good one to start the year with. The wedding had a 19th century vintage and historic feel to it. Maybe it was because the church they got married at was established in 1898 (Inman Park United Methodist Church)? or it could be because the reception was held at The Trolley Barn (service and housing facility for Atlanta’s first electric street railway line) which opened in 1889? Either way i bought into it and i felt like i time traveled..lol. To reflect the character of the wedding i included a lot of Black and white/Sepia pictures which gives you a sense of the vintage time period. Shelton is a big time Fraternity guy and Cassandra is a Sorority gal so you can image what they got into. At the end of the day this was a really fun, emotional and entertaining wedding. Congrats to Cassandra and Shelton! I wish you both a blessed and happy married life. Check out some pics from the day.

Cassandra was practicing her vows

All hands on deck!
