Lakeya + Jermaine / Embassy Suites Intimate Wedding Buckhead

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.

We get to meet so many other professionals through weddings, and we don’t take any of them for granted. Some of these encounters have become special friendships and lifelong clients. I LOVE connecting with other professionals and hearing their stories of how they attained their successful business.

It’s neat how with some people, you really connect easily. We have what we call “love at first sight” with our clients, and Nazli + Travis were one of them no doubt! We were on our 21 Days of Travel back in November when we received their inquiry.

2020 Craig Obrist Photography WEDDING Awards

After a year where we thought we felt our business could fall apart, here we are happy to report that we completed 35 weddings. Wow… I’m sitting here amazed yet again at what God can do and how He always provides for us. No disease, no virus can stand in His way… I’m humbled by His faithfulness and promises, and come what may, we continue to place our hope in Him and Him alone.
