What a way to spend the first day of spring. Just like warm weather and beautiful flowers, Shakaila + Jonathan’s wedding was a breath of fresh air. The groomsmen were definitely excited to celebrate this day.

Couples like Lakeya + Jermaine make me think, “Yeah… you either got it or you don’t”. And as you can see, they GOT it! They have what Simon Cowell calls, “the WOW factor”. As soon as I saw Lakeya’s fascinator, I just knew that it was going to be one fantastic day!

As a photographer, someone appreciating your work means the world… I think it’s still hard for some to see photography as “art”. Some think that it’s “just taking pictures… what’s so hard about that?” Especially nowadays where everyone is a photographer with their own phones and photos can be taken just at the thought of doing it, some may just not know how to value it.

With some couples, we are extra lucky because we get to spend multiple days with them! Over those days, we have the opportunity to get to know them more and more… with South Asian weddings, it’s full of culture and traditions that we absolutely love and it never fails to amaze me.

Since the pandemic hit us, I’m learning more and more that our happiness is not determined by our circumstances. It’s the matter of the heart and when your heart is set on the goodness of God, nothing can take your joy away.

Lubna + Farhan / Three Day Tampa Bay Florida Wedding Grand Hyatt

So, you know how 2020 was everyone’s year? Yeah, it was supposed to be “ours” too. As traveling photographers, it was the year of our dreams. We had so many out of state and even out of the country weddings booked, but as you know… this thing called COVID happened, and we felt as if our dreams were being shattered.

Jasmine + Sir John / The Biltmore Ballroom Wedding Atlanta

I’m seriously getting old because our couples are looking younger and younger to me more than ever before. Sometimes, our kids are closer to our clients’ age than I am to them, and that’s just weird! Ha! Our kids have discovered many gray hairs on our heads lately, and I’m telling you… it’s kinda scary.

Elissa + Mats / A Home In Atlanta Wedding

At each wedding, I learn something… sometimes, it’s what not to do or how not to be and sometimes it’s everything I want to do and everything I want to be. At Elissa + Mats’s wedding, it was the latter. Even though changing plans can be disappointing or become a hassle, sometimes it becomes something that was the best for us after all.

Marisol + Walter / Montaluce Winery North Georgia Wedding

Our business journey has fortunately given us so many opportunities that no other job ever would have. It’s a job that really gives us an adventure in life that an “office job” couldn’t. It definitely has its own stress and endless things that we had to overcome and still do just like anything else in life, but we don’t regret one bit the life choice we made.
