Congratulations to Aries & Katara!!!

Congratulations to Aries & Katara who were married on March 29th, 2008 in Lithonia! It was a beautifull ceremony held at Brownsmill Recreation Center. I had plans to do many portraits outside but the weather was not cooperating that day. As a matter of fact, my daughter, who works as my assistant, and I had never ran so much!! At one point, we were setting up to do a shot of the bride & image bride's dresses when I looked over my shoulder and saw a sheet of rain coming right towards us. I looked at my daughter and said run....so she ran leaving the dresses:)! It was funny! Katara looked absolutely beautiful and her husband looked very handsome:)!

I do wish Aries & Katara the best of luck and may they live a long and full filling life together! Below are a few of my favorites from this ceremony & I'll try to keep it to a few!

Laminin....the glue that holds us together.

OK, just a quick break from wedding postings....I actually have 2 that I need to post. I just want to share this with everyone....watch the whole thing:) Thank you to Kim for finding this!

Got Hope? Then Get Soaked!!!

On March 30th, our church did spontaneous baptisms! I was requested to photograph this event and my nerves were there for 2 reasons. One, photography with stage lighting is challenging to say the least. You have mixed colored lights which can create some issues especially with the way this was set up. The standard tungsten colored spot lights were on as high as they would go but wasn't that strong were the actual baptisms were taking place. In the back, we had blue lights so it created this mixture. Needless to say, Pastor Steve is not a red neck but a BLUE neck (LOL)! Also, I didn't shoot this with a flash since I wanted to be able to do sequence shooting...we can watch every single person get baptized over and over again:):)! The main reason why my nerves were kicking in is simply the event. I do weddings which is a once in a life time event but this just felt different & emotions were high! I felt truly honored that the church requested me to photograph this event for them. You can read what Pastor Steve wrote (he does a much better job) by clicking here.


A couple of the collages that I put together for CATR below. Each person will be receiving these.





Next post we'll be regarding a couple who got married on March 29th until then take care and God Bless!

Happy Birthday Kira (a little late)

OK, so I've been neglecting this but I have been a little busy:)! I'll be posting some things regarding weddings and engagements completed recently but first and foremost.....

My oldest turned 17 recently and she may think this is embarrasing but wait until she turns 18......oh do we have some dandy pictures:):). So below is just a short little slide show for her.....no matter what she is still our little girl (actually...she's a big time Daddy's girl thus the song)! Enjoy until next time:)!
