Another super fun and colorful wedding. Remember Chichi & Emeka’s Engagement Session? It my first post of 2012 and i just knew their wedding would be amazing. It was a day filled with joy and i really had a great time with the entire wedding train. It’s really important to have people that genuinely care about the bride and groom on the train. This wedding was fun and exciting from the time i arrived till the very end. The ceremony took place at the The Tabernacle Church and reception at the Schwartz-Goldstein Hall @ the Temple.  Thank you so much Chichi and Emeka for allowing me to tell the story of your day. I wish you both a happy married life. Check out some images from the day. Enjoy!

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!

April 11, 2012 | Featured, showcase | 9 Comments

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!!!

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!

Hello all! Happy Friday! Another great e-session coming your way 🙂

I know i always say these sessions are fun but seriously they really are. Amber and David are two really funny people which obviously made it a mad fun e-session. It’s only fitting that their first date was at a comedy club. I could not stop laughing throughout the entire session. I am honestly blessed with the best clients in the world.  Enjoy!

The untold story..lol

David and Amber met one Summer day at a mutual friend’s home. They and others, were invited for a summer cookout. They became “facebook friends” soon after. However, they wouldn’t actually start dating until after attending that same friend’s dinner party that Winter. Two weeks after the dinner party, they went on their first date to Uptown Comedy Club. They both say they knew fairly quickly that each other was “the one.” About a year and a half later, David asked Amber to a fancy dinner at the Sundial on a “random” Tuesday evening. At the end of the dinner, he presented her with a scrapbook that he diligently put together. The scrapbook was complete with photos of his parents and her parents whom he drove six hours to meet with to ask permission to propose. To Amber’s surprise, the last page of the scrap book was a sign which stated “Will You Marry Me?” After crying and unbelief, she, of course, said, YES! The two live in Atlanta and plan to get married in the city, June 2013.

Where the laughter and love all started.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year for all of us :). I am excited about 2012 and truly looking forward to capturing all the wonderful moments to come!

To kick off 2012 blogging, i would like to introduce to you Chichi and Emeka! I could not have asked for a better couple to start off the year. We had such a great time on this session at Atlantic Station. I’ve always believed friendship is one of the most important keys to success in a relationship. It goes a long way in keeping the relationship strong through everything we encounter in life. The level of friendship Chichi and Emeka share together is very obvious in the images. Congrats guys!! Looking forward to the big day already! Check out a few pics from the session and a little about the couple. Enjoy!

How it all started:

We started off as friends (African Christian Fellowship) while we were both in high school. As the years went by, we grew up and everyone went off to college and lost touch. Years later, we both decided to join Facebook, as it was the thing to do. As luck would have it, Emeka ran across my profile and invited me to be his Facebook friend.  From Facebook messages, to online chatting, to long phone conversations… the rest is history. These past six years have been such a blessing. Despite all the challenges and triumphs we have encountered, the one thing that has remained consistent is our friendship. We genuinely are, and will always be, the best of friends. We are so grateful to have the blessing of spending each and every day together for the rest of our lives..

 

This was hilarious. The folks at the location actually thought Emeka was planning on proposing. Hence the acting…lol

Eternal friendship 🙂

Hello! Hope you all had a great thanksgiving :). Looking forward to Xmas and the new year already!

When Nya told me about her idea for a “firsts” e-session i thought that was a brilliant idea. Nya & Abdul first met, went on a date, and kissed around the same area so we took pictures at all the different locations. It was definitely fun and exciting. I really had a great time on this session and i am looking forward to the wedding next year. Check out a few pictures from the day. Enjoy

This is where it all first started (Ebenezer Baptist Church). Nya said it was raining the day they first ran into each other outside church.

First date spot

This is where Abdul made it  official..lol
