Friday evening, Briana and David’s love was displayed in front of loved ones. Before the ceremony, I witness the way they love each other in the reading of their private vowels to one another. You felt the love and unbreakable bond they have. It was the sweetest moment I have ever witnessed. Thank you, Briana and David, for letting me be a part such a memorable moment.

It’s Friday!! So let’s flashback to last Friday when Odofoley and Ron joined together in front of God, family, and friends in person and via live stream. It was beautiful weather and a beautiful ceremony. The smiles on Odofoley and Ron's faces as they exchanged was priceless. Congratulations and Happy one week of being husband and wife

A few months ago, I got the opportunity to see @ingodsimage in action. I have been following Tanisha since I started my photography business years ago. I always admired her, and to be in her presence that day, I was fan-struck. It's funny because I didn’t realize it was her until I left the hotel. I hope to get to work with her again in person.

By the way follow her, she is a door photographer and MUA.

It’s Friday!!!! So I want to flashback March when JB proposed to Nikki.

JB reach out to me about doing a photoshoot for his love. JB wanted her to free special but he also said wanted to make this session a day she would never forget. He wanted to propose to the love of his life. With planning and the help of my couples aka his best friends, we pulled it off. By the look of the photo she loved it and him.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to recreate William's proposal to Kamesha at the @42ndstoysterbar. Kamesha told me the story of how William proposed and couldn't capture the moment. Kamesha wanted some photos of the moment. So it is only fitting to recreate this particular moment on their journey to the alter. You could feel the love they had for each other during their engagement session. It was so sweet when William looked at Kamesha, and his face lit up with happiness. I can't wait to document their wedding next year.

I took this photo a week ago during Be a Director- Not a Photographer (posing your couple) led by @treneforbesphotography. This class was excellent. I have a better understanding of how to direct my couples to get the best portrait. @coliejames I have already started to implement from your workshop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Wow, what can I say? Last week was terrific. I learned so much at @thephotocookout. It was an experience that I do not regret attending. I got to know from one of the greats @ernestosue in his advance lighting workshop, learning website SEO best practices with @fusecreativeinc. Go check Feuza out. I got a lot out of the workshop and have started to implement what I have learned. Still in awe, but this post is the start. I will be posting more throughout the week about my experience.

Thank you, @tomayiacolvin, for creating something so powerful for us and going above and beyond.
