High school sweethearts Keishawn & Jason Hayes’ big day had finally arrived & I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with the newlyweds & their family. The couple said their “I do’s at Holy Family Catholic church in downtown Natchez. I can’t say enough about Keishawn & Jason they compliment each other so well & you can just feel the love between the two whenever around them. I am really honored they chose me to be their photographer!  Here are a few highlights from Keishawn & Jason’s wedding day I wanted to share with you. Enjoy!

Monique+Shamiah

Monique & Shamiah had an awesome wedding at the Hemingbough plantation inSt. Francisville,La. They had an outside ceremony that took place at the Amphitheatre. It really reminded you of something you would see back in the old Greek days. The Hemingbough grounds is just beautiful & breath taking simply put. It was hard choosing my favorites for this blog post but here they are below.

Sandra+Troy

April 5, 2012

Sandra & Troy renewed their vows on April 15, 2011 at Calvary Baptist Church in Laurel,MS. I think this was one of the most laid
back weddings that I have done. Sandra & Troy are a perfect match for each other as their personalities really balance each other out. Its really a blessing & an inspiration to see married couples celebrating their anniversary by renewing their vows. I hope you all enjoy viewing these images from Sandra & Troy’s special day!

Shenika & Carey Mays

 Shenika &  Carey Mays

 

Congrats are in order for a great couple & two good friends of mine Carey & Shenika Mays. Carey & Shenika exchanged their vows on the evening of June 25, 2011 at Cedar Grove Mansion in Vicksburg, MS. I was really honored to be chosen as the photographer for their wedding being that Carey is also a fellow photographer himself (www.cmaysphotography.com). I think there was a little more “pressure” with this one being considered as a “photographers photographer”. I had a great time though celebrating & documenting Carey & Shenika’s special day with also two other photographers as well Nelson O. Smith (of www.nelsonosmithphotography.com) & Corey Mathis of (www.cmshoot.wordpress.com). I think between the three of us we must’ve had well over 3k images (good luck going through them all Carey lol). The thing I liked most of all though was collaborating & getting three different perspectives of the same event. I have compiled a few of my favorite images to share with you. My absolute favorite image of Carey & Shenika in the old school mustang actually won 1st place in a Bridal Photography Showcase hosted by Ember Ahua of By Invitation Only(www.byinvitationonly-events.com).

I hope you all enjoy viewing these favorites & feel free to leave any comments!

Orisha + Willie

March 9, 2011

Its always good to take a trip back home but having the chance to photograph a wedding is an added bonus. During this past weekend Willie & Orisha officially vowed their love & dedication to each other in the sight of GOD & among the company of family & friends. Now I’ve actually known Orisha for 20+years (WOW that makes me feel old) being that we are classmates & we all went to the same college (University of Southern Miss.). I really enjoyed myself at Orisha & Willie’s wedding. I loved the reception venue “The Grand Soleil” Hotel in Natchez,MS which had been totally renovated recently. Well I hope you will take the time to look through the few photos I have selected to highlight their special day & I hope you enjoy!

Johnny + Alisia’s Wedding Day

March 9, 2011

The day had finally arrived for the union of my two good friends Alisia & Johnny. We had a great time with their engagement session & at the meetings so today was the day to “Jump the broom”. Everything went well with a beautiful ceremony & reception that was definitely one of my favorites for this year. I have several image favorites from this wedding that have become quite popular in the “facebook” circuit. Everyone always loves the “Groomsmen” shot which has a sort of vintage “Mob Family” feel to it. Be sure to check it out in the images below & leave your comments!

Rhonda + Brian Wedding Celebration

March 1, 2011

I had alot of fun photographing Rhonda & Brian’s wedding with photographer Christopher Bell of “The Cool”.  Rhonda, Brian, & I also go way back to freshman year in college at USM. Throughout the day I got a chance to see ALOT of familiar faces from college and t almost felt as if it was “Homecoming” already.  You know I really have to THANK alot of friends like Rhonda & Brian that I’ve met throughout my college career that have given me the opportunity to photograph one of the most important & special moments in their life. For this reason, whenever I photograph a friend’s wedding it always seems so much more personal than just “taking pictures”. I like adding that personal touch to each of my clients so its like i’m shooting a friend’s wedding every time. Sorry to digress people but I just had to add that in. Let us now proceed to the “good stuff” & check out some of my favorites from Rhonda & Brian’s special day. I hope you all enjoy & I look forward to reading your feedback!

Nick + Evette’s Wedding

July 24, 2010

So the wedding season finally got kicked off for me this spring starting with two good friends of mine, Nick & Evette. We previously did an engagement session so the only thing left was the “Big Day”. You can click this link to view images from Nick & Evette’s engagement session . We began the day by getting a few pre-wedding shots of the bride & the bridesmaids getting ready for the ceremony & ended the day with one of the most memorable receptions I’ve shot to this date. I would have to say my favorite images were from the bride & groom portraits at the train depot & the dance floor shots during the reception. I hope you all enjoy these images from Nick & Evette’s special day!

Oh yeah I almost forgot, you have got to check out the groom’s cake. It was definitely one of a kind & you can guess what he does from the cake. lol.

Reginald & Lanea’s Wedding

May 8, 2010

I had the opportunity to work with a fellow photographer, Derrick Hicks, whose work & shooting style I really admire for this wedding. I always enjoy working with other photographer’s because you get the chance to see things from another perspective & learn a few things.

I enjoyed meeting the bride & groom along with the wedding party, family members, & friends. One of the things that stood out to me about this wedding was that they released white dove’s as part of the wedding ceremony. I’ve always wanted to photograph the releasing of the dove’s since starting wedding photography so this wedding was the perfect moment. I also thought that the ice sculpture at the reception was pretty cool also.

Without digressing any further here are the images I have selected to share with you from Reginald & Lanea’s wedding. I hope you enjoy. Once again a big shout out to photographer Derrick Hicks for letting me shoot with you. I’m definitely looking forward to working with you again soon!
