When a Man Loves a Woman...

If you want to find out what it means for a man to love a woman just hang around Vernon and Tina and you'll see how much a man can love a woman. I'm sure you remember the Casablanca-style engagement session that I had with this lovely couple earlier this year, well the day finally came when they would become husband and wife. I've known Tina all of my life, but I was still very honored when they asked me to photograph their special day.

Now before I shut up, let me say to know Vernon and Tina is to know that they are extremely unique, trendsetters and very stylish. This was evident even on their special day. Thank you again Tina and Vernon for allowing me to be apart of your "I Dos".

When Silly Met Sillier...

This engagement session turned out to be the most fun I've had all month. Sometimes when you know the couples that you're working for personally it can be a challenge, but I must say there were NO problems in sight when working with Tameka & Jeremy. I've known Jeremy since I was a child and I went to high school with Tameka and I'm so glad they found each other. The groom is a lover of serious books, comics, and all things silly and the bride is a lover of gossip magazines, Starbucks and all things silly so they have a common denominator. I knew this was going to be an interesting and fun day when it started raining the minute we were in route to our destination and I stopped for umbrellas and when returning to the car I was serenaded by the couple as they sang the "Meatball" song and exchanged freestyle raps. We had some fun and I just had to share a little with you all....ENJOY!

Lewis & Myriam Engagement Session

I'm so glad to have met Lewis & Myriam. They are so sweet to each other and although they seem a little quiet (at least in front of me...lol) they sure do know how to come alive in front of the camera. I'm almost certain that if I'd asked them to dangle off of a building they would have done it, that's how easy it was to work with them. So I know that on wedding day next year we won't have any problems getting great shots. Here's a few photos from their engagement session that we did in New Brunswick, NJ in Rutgers University territory which is where they went to college together. Such a cute couple, I just can't say it enough...so cute!

Isn't She Lovely....

Okay, so I met little Miss Kassie and I just fell in love with her. She is sooo adorable and I just wanted to take her home with me. Although she wasn't a fan of the outdoors, we were still able to capture some really good photos of this little princess. Her mother and I tried to set up our own ideas for photos for her but she had her own plans and I quickly decided to just work around her mood and what she wanted to do. (after all, she's only 5 months old...can you believe it?) It was a really hot day so I'm surprised Miss Kassie lasted as long as she did in the outdoors so we eventually moved inside and before our final part of the session she went to dreamland but she was so cute I just kept shooting. Here's some of the magic that we were able to capture on that day...

Phil & Cristal's beautiful walk down the aisle

This might be the couple that wins the award for most in love. These recent college graduates are the nicest, most friendliest, most humble, most loving, most humorous, most....well you get the point. They are just good people! The way Phil & Cristal carry themselves you would think they never had a bad day in their life because they always have a smile on their face. Just being around them will inspire you to love with a sincere heart. I can truly say that there was no one else on this earth that was meant for these two but each other. Phil has his Cristal and that's exactly how he treats her, like a sacred jewel. Awwww, I think I might be getting teary eyed...so enough of all this mushy talk, and I'll just show you a few photos from their day. (can someone hand me a tissue...lol)
