It’s interesting how folks’ paths cross. I met Khadeen & Devale at a wedding I shot in 2009 where Khadeen was the makeup artist. From that moment on, we instantly clicked. From their engagement shoot in ’09, to their wedding in ’10, they were a complete joy to shoot and work with. Anyeka and I had the pleasure of building a really great friendship with them over the years. It was an honorable delight to document their wedding this past year at Terrace On The Park, and it was so much FUN!
I had a wonderful time working with Adhari & Ericka of Pampered Bride Weddings. Ryan and his guys from Epic Motion did a wonderful job with the cinematography. I’d like to thank my guys Chris Williams & Chad Pennington once again for being the extremely talented 2nd & 3rd photographers.

The fellas hanging out before they head out.
Anyeka came up with a great concept to shoot their rings. Thanks Love!
The Bridesmaids had matching “Bridesmaid” t-shirts.
You know I had to get a photo of myself some how
Sometimes during the preparation photos I’ll wear a t-shirt which helps me to be comfortable while shooting. I’ll change right before we leave for the ceremony.

Two thumbs up!

A proud Dad!
More waiting… Increased anticipation…
A few portraits…
The Reveal
The Couple opted for a “First Look,” which means they will actually see one another before the bride walks down the aisle. This moment is always emotional, sometimes even more than the ceremony. The anticipation is wild!
Here she comes…
