June 16, 2014 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 10 Comments

Hello friends! Happy Monday. I am excited to have a super cool friend on the blog today! I’ve know Dupe (I call her Helen 🙂 ) for over 10 years and she is such a cool and down to earth person. I remember all the fun times we had at parties in Atlanta. Great memories. When she contacted me about her wedding I was so happy for her. I met Ope for the first time during the shoot and he is definitely the right guy for her. They make a great team and I love that. We had so much fun. Congrats once again. I am looking forward to the big day. For the shoot we just wanted to have great time. We played some golf and went around the beautiful city of Atlanta. Check out some of the images from shoot. Enjoy!

Anand + Freny Surprise Proposal | Fox Theatre | Atlanta Wedding Photographers

April 25, 2014 | Engagement Sessions, showcase, Surprise Proposals | 2 Comments

Hello Folks! I have a great surprise proposal to share today. Usually I start off by explaining the proposal plan and the entire process but today I will do the complete opposite. I will break down the proposal at the bottom of the post after you are done viewing the pictures. I want you to get an idea of how it went from your own perspective. Enjoy!

Now the story..lol 🙂

Anand reached out to me about his plan to propose a few weeks before the date so we had time to plot every aspect of the plan to perfection. I have done many proposals in the past but this one was definitely one of a kind! The plan was for the proposal to happen while Freny was on a Fox theatre tour. Anand and Freny went to a show at the Fox theatre the day before the proposal and he told her they won tickets to go on a tour of the Fox the next day. He later backed out claiming he had to work 🙂 . Anand had Freny’s close friend fill in for him so the plan was all set 🙂 . We realized it was going to be difficult to take pictures of her without her getting suspicious so we came up with a plan that I would be the staff photographer for the fox theatre. This gave me the freedom to take pictures of random people on the group tour but I obviously focused on Freny. It worked out perfectly! Anand had a second surprise. He invited close friends and family and had them all wait at the restaurant across the street (Livingston @ The Georgian Terrace Hotel). When we were done taking pictures Freny thought it was all over and I left as well. A few minutes later Anand walked her into the restaurant and she was shocked to see all the familiar faces! This was definitely one of my favorite surprise proposals and so glad I was part of it! Congrats to Anand and Freny. I wish you both the very best!

Cafe Love! Busola + Lanre Engagement Session | Starbucks | Fox Theatre| Atlanta Wedding Photographers

April 9, 2014 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 12 Comments

Hello Friends! Happy hump day :). Today, I am extremely excited to share the E- session pictures of a really good and long time friend Busola AKA Tidy-up Gal. I’ve known Busola for over a decade (12 years to be exact) and when I look back at many memories in my life over the years I realize she was always there. I remember how we all used to party together (WE-3-ENT days for those that remember) and now we are all grown. She is truly a great friend and I am so happy she found that “REAL LOVE”..LOL haha. I met Lanre a few years ago at a friends house and he seemed like a really cool guy. He was funny and down to earth. Who knew he would fall in love with my friend! Busola and Lanre met at a local Starbucks for their first date so we incorporated that into the shoot and had a blast in the process. We also hit up the Fox theatre for some grown and sexy shots. The love they share for each other was too obvious. I really enjoyed this shoot. I wish you both a blessed and happy married life. Enjoy!

New Year’s Eve 2012 was different than usual for both Lanre and Busola as they met at a local Starbucks for their first date. In fact, the meeting was almost two years overdue – Yewande, Lanre’s family friend (and also Busola’s friend), tried to introduce them way before they finally met. But perfect timing, they say, is one of God’s greatest gifts. They hit it off right away as predicted; and almost a year after that special New Year’s Eve, Lanre popped the big question at Busola’s favorite Thai restaurant. They plan to tie the knot on June 14 2014, and are looking forward to a bright future together.

“I have found the one whom my soul loves.”

Davita & David Fabulous Creole Wedding | The Georgian Terrace Hotel | Fox Theatre | Atlanta Wedding Photographers

September 24, 2012 | showcase, Weddings | 7 Comments

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!

How often do you get to shutdown Atlanta’s busiest street – Peachtree Street? Special thanks to the Atlanta Cop that made it happen 🙂

Congrats Davita & David!

Onyema + Acie E-session | Piedmont Park | Fox Theatre | World of Coke | D & B | Atlanta Wedding Photographer

February 17, 2012 | Engagement Sessions, showcase | 8 Comments

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!”
