Excitement Building (Jerrica & Cedric)

   I met this couple a few weeks back after there coordinator ( Lashaundra Sullivan) had contacted me with interest to sat down for a consultation.  After just a few minutes I could tell I was around good old Alabama folk.  You know the kind as you ride those country roads and a hand is raised to just say hi.  The thing about it is they didn't know you nor did you know them.  I miss those days, but sating down with this couple brought those memories back.  As you can tell the meeting went great and so did this engagement session.  Since they booked for an October wedding I figured they would want a summer E session, but they were ready to get going.  I didn't mind at all because I could tell that they were excited about the whole process.  I spoke to Jerrica a few times during the week and wanted to do some scouting to determine our location.  She was patient, but I could tell the excitement was building.  Still not sure Friday evening, but knew the weather would play apart in my decision for that Saturday.  Well Saturday is here and what a beautiful day.  Cold but beautiful and we took full advantage of the sunshine.  Thanks so much for choosing me to capture these special moments during this journey.  I pray blessing over your commitment to one another and your future with each other.  Continue to give all your cares to the lord who is above all things.  Congratulations and hope you enjoy the pics.  God Bless, Peace......

Taking It In Stride (Kristen & Anthony)

         First wedding of 2011 and it was a good start, If I must say so myself.  This was another N'sight production.  Headed by Neville Simpson with myself and Micheal Adderley pulling up the rear.  This was my first meet with the bride and groom, although I work with the grooms father (Tony Steele).  That's right Tony Steele photographer extraordinaire, so we've talked about family here and there and feel a little more acquainted to Anthony. We started off early shooting what is to unfold as the most beautiful day of this couples life.  The couple never seemed to be rattled or nervous just seem to be taking it all in or could I say Taking It In Stride.  We were wrapping up group shots so we could get in the sanctuary for the ceremony and I was thinking this may be a small wedding according to time and people that had made it.  Then out of nowhere people started entering as though they were waiting outside to scare them as to think no one was coming and then say Surprise!!!!  The ceremony was beautiful and as was the reception.  Although some would consider what I do as work.  I must say this wedding was just a reminder why I choose to be a wedding photographer.  I Love It! Here are a few shots from this wonderful day.  Congrats to Kristen & Anthony may God continue to bless you in your future endeavors.  Peace.............

Saving The Best For Last (Atra & Jojo)

 There could be several reason for naming this post Saving The Best For Last.  My reason is after hearing the speeches that the two gave during the reception it had me thinking.  See God allows things in our lives for a reason.  These things shape who we are and in a lot of our cases have help make dramatic changes that saved us from making terrible mistakes.  Atra and Jojo as God was shaping you through your trials he was also preparing this union to happen.  Marriage is to be the final stop in your search, but when you've allowed God to enter into that selection process.  You become assured that whom you've choose to share your life with offers you something that makes them stand out beyond any other, so as God has prepared you two to meet he was helping you to notice the best in each other.  We all have many flaws, but there is something in each of us that stands out to our spouses as the very best.   I pray that you two have many years to grow old with each other and continue to be happy with the best that you each have to offer.  Here are a few images from my final wedding of the year and I hope you enjoy.  May God Bless you and keep you, Peace...
