Remembering Yesterday- Patrick & Tonyia tie the Knot!

It was a beautiful Thursday morning September 17, 2015 and this was the date my sister friend was marrying the love of her life. I couldn't contain my excitement. Scurrying together all the details planned out to make this date one to remember. An intimate ceremony for a small group of family and friends. This was the date that Tonyia was marrying her best man! As when planning any event allot of running around securing the last minute details and finally it was time to begin preparing for that moment to walk down the aisle. Early morning trip to the makeup artist once complete on to the house to get dressed and be ready to become one. We surprised the couple with a dessert and beverage bar (cupcakes & ginger ale) to make the moments of this day even more special. A special toast an exchange of cake and kind words expressed by their very dear friends. So perfect yet imperfect! What a beautiful day to remember!

Thousand and one thoughts on a Wedding Day...

It's Wedding Wednesday and we thought we share of few of our thoughts on a wedding day!

Wedding Day Chaos and More

When I first arrive for a wedding day session. I'm a bit nervous I just want to make sure I'm getting all the images I feel is necessary for the day. However my mind is in total overdrive I'm sweating nervous and working to figuire out what do I do first. You have expectaction from the event planner and you have expectation from the bride and then of course you have expectation for yourself. Your on the verge of mental overdrive.. You working to shoot the images of details scattered with the people and then Oh those beautiful magazine images Oh yeah I have to make sure we get some editorial worthy shots with all that in mind Its just a constant think over load. Weddings being so precise with different things happening at different times. The main build up is preparing for the ceremony and the preparation until then. So you come in at the schedule time. You advise the event staff your here and then I look around grab some details and then I'm off to meet the bride. 

Preferable she is still getting her makeup done or something of that nature so that I can capture the dress the shoes , jewelry and more. So I'm looking for the most detailed unique editorial way to capture these images. Details and Decor that is what I like.. Until I'm pressed for time.

Then as the bride begins to dress and making sure your not capturing the wrong thing while dressing but some of the most endearing shots that will be treasured for years to come. While your making everyone feel comfortable and your around getting the shots you feel like you need and then its time for you to go and see what are the guys doing.

Let me go capture a few of them. Shoes, lapels cuff links socks and grooms in action. The guys are quick and to the point while in your head your crossing off the shot list that exist there saying to yourself I think I got all the shots I need.

Now is it almost ceremony times... Whew let me check... Oh yes it is.. Guest are filling up the sanctuary and I'm running around trying to get some crowd shots along with details up close and personal and running to make sure I get the wedding party lined up and ready to go.

It's Showtime!
