Tiffany and Wayne : A June Wedding
June 3, 2016 started out as a dreary, wet, soggy day.
The weather was no match for the mood. Couldn't compare to the atmosphere. Was not going to kill the spirit.
Because that was the day... that Tiffany and Wayne got married!
Ladies...
...and Gentlemen.
An (almost) Unplugged Wedding
Introducing Mrs & Mrs...
Wayne & Tiffany Are Getting Married!
Actually, Wayne & Tiffany already got married!
Last weekend I was privileged enough to be the one to photograph the couple's nuptials. But before the big day, I was also asked to shoot their engagement photos. The bride and groom used some of their images for their wedding day decor, so I wasn't allowed to reveal them until now.
The couple wanted a quick session. Just a few images that would capture their spirit and show off how adorable they are together.
The job was too easy. Look how cute they are...
Look at how he looks at her!
Her glow shows how much she adores him...
Cutest couple of 2016...hands down!
Wayne's & Tiffany's wedding pictures will have their big reveal in a couple of weeks. We know everyone is anxious to see them! Stay tuned!
Wayne's Prom 2016
On May 27th, Wilson High School in Washington , DC hosted their 2016 Senior Prom. Students came together for their much anticipated formal farewell and they did it in style!
I was lucky enough to be able to photograph this dapper young man who took "The Classic Man" look and shined bright on prom night.
Wayne was a little camera shy. I don't know why. Just look at him.
As as we waited for his date, I was able to capture some great images.
Yup! I caught him smiling!
Of course Wayne's beautiful date completed his look.
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, Wayne. Stay classic!
They said "I DO!"
The bride was radiant...
The groom was as handsome as could be...
They stood before their pastor, their family & friends and exchanged vows
before their God!
It was a beautiful autumn wedding!
Every aspect was captured as to ensure as memories fade, something tangible was left behind to refresh them.
Here in lies the dilemma.
How does one choose just the right images to present to the world?
You don't want to miss anything...the story must be told completely.
But...
You can't very well jam a hundred pictures into a slideshow!
Unless of course...
you do it very quickly!
I present to you
The Wedding of Ava & David
in 4 minutes & 36 seconds!
Enjoy...
NBFPD2014
On Saturday, September 13, 2014, Black Female Photographers, LLC held its 3rd annual photo walk in 14 cities across the country. NBFPD is a time for photographers of all walks of life to come together for networking, mentoring, learning and good old fashioned fun. Photographers of all genders, races and skill level were invited to walk as members of BFP strive to grow working relationships across the board.

I serve as BFP's Regional Officer for the Washington, DC metropolitan area and I've planned and organized each walk over the last three years. |
|
This year I chose to walk the east loop of the Downtown Heritage Trail. |
It was a rather gloomy day. The forecast called for showers and it was tough trying to pinpoint when the rain would actually start.
But we took our chances and walked anyway!
And we got some pretty good shots, if I do say so myself!
Washington, DC is more than just national monuments. Though it's very rich in history, it's also teeming with pop culture. There's really quite a lot to see.
But not all of the sites will send you home with pleasant memories.
As with any metropolitan area, DC has its share of those in need. Souls that are seemingly lost and forgotten but who are truly alive and full of spirit.
^ This picture is a nod to my mom! ^
A few hours into the walk we stopped at The Greene Turtle to "chew & chat". We exchanged stories, ideas, plans, dreams, aspirations and of course business information so we can keep in touch. The group planned to continue walking after lunch but the skys opened up and we were forced to call it a day a bit early.

DC's diverse culture is one of its best features. The city is full of people from all walks of life. Most are as friendly as can be! He stopped while working at an outdoor cafe to pose for me. |
|
I really wish the rain would have held off for a little while longer. There was so much more to see and I was really enjoying the time with my fellow photographers. NBFPD2015 can't come quick enough! |
*************************************************************************
It was truly a PLEASURE to spend my day with these folks. Newbies and vets came together to share the common interest of photography and we created memories to last a lifetime (and we have the pictures to prove it!).
We'll see you next year!
