Lewis & Myriam | Wedding

Okay, so I'm a little late, but better late than never, right? I'm so happy to post the wedding of Lewis & Myriam. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Kip's Castle in Montclair, NJ and God truly blessed them with a gorgeous day. The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect, and the Bride & Groom were absolutely stunning! Here's a peek at their special day...

Chad Pennington assisted me with shooting and he got this great shot of the castle and ceremony space. You can see just how beautiful the weather was. Love it!


LOVED THE SHOES!


A peek at the beautiful Myriam as she prepared to walk down the aisle to meet the love of her life.
Check out the guys...SHARP!

Sorry Lewis, but I had to post this one. Most guys try their best not to cry when they first see their bride coming down the aisle, but they almost always let at least one tear slip out and I don't blame Lewis, his Bride was GORGEOUS!

I can't say it enough, this was a most beautiful ceremony, complete with praise dancers and all.




I love this one, Myriam's face right after being pronounced husband and wife is priceless!

I think she still can't believe it...

Their guests then joined them at a lovely reception at The Richfield Regency in Verona, NJ, and they had an unforgettable PARTY!




Again, I must say it, Myriam was a gorgeous bride! Hair, makeup, dress, flowers, jewelry, and how can I forget the shoes...all flawless!


Lewis and his best men had a little fun with their pictures, they were hilarious. And the bridesmaids were beautiful in those dresses. I love bridesmaid dresses that you can wear again after the wedding. :-)

Working with real pros here...




Thanks again for allowing me to capture your special day. I had a blast!

Donald & Monique Wedding | Preview

For Mr. & Mrs. Devereaux! I couldn't wait to post a preview of their much anticipated wedding day. There were so many beautiful elements of this "Garden of Love" themed wedding and I had soooo much fun. I even found myself out on the dance floor towards the end....don't know how that happened...lol.

Monique has been following the growth of my photography business from conception and in fact used to help me coordinate family portrait days at my church and she's seen just about every photo I've done whether I showed it to her or not...lol. I tried to get away with only posting one teaser photo but I know my Bride isn't having that...right Mrs. Devereax? So here's a few more teasers from that very special day. Enjoy! (P.S. 'Monique Devereaux' is the coolest name ever!)








I can't wait to share the rest of their beautiful day with you!

Milton & Kimila Wedding | Preview

Ahhh, what can I say about Milton & Kim? They are just the sweetest couple ever and so deserving of the love they have found in each other. Milton & Kim have been on the most amazing journey and these two have quite the story to tell. It's almost like a fairy tale, but there is no happy ending to this story, only a happy BEGINNING. Here's a preview into their beautiful beginning...

I love this photo, this is the moment before Kim joined her son and walked down the aisle to meet her future. Like I told her, this moment sums up the entire journey...



I love these girls, they weren't afraid to show me their personalities during our portrait session. Funny stuff!




Stay tuned...there's more to come!

James & Uchechi | Engagement

Meet James & Uchechi! I went to school with Uchechi and reconnected with her on Facebook, who knew that FB could be a good thing...lol. They own a business called Event Radiance and they have these great networking events monthly at the Trenton Marriott. I was so happy when she told me that they had gotten engaged and even more thrilled when they asked me to be their photographer. You must know that I hardly had to give any direction to these two, they were real pros in front of the camera. We had lots of fun in Philly shooting their engagement photos on what had to be the windiest day of the year. You can hardly tell in these photos but were almost blown away several times by the ferocious winds but somehow we made it through. Thanks for being troopers guys...allergies and all. :-)






And what's a Philly engagement session without a stop at Love Park.










Lewis & Myriam | Wedding (sneak peek)

I'm sure you remember Lewis & Myriam from last summer. It seemed like we had done their engagement session decades ago but the wedding came faster than we thought and I can't wait to show you more from this fabulous event. I've added a couple of previews for you and included one of their engagement shots for old time's sake.
