Say hello to my first engagement session of 2010! I shot this session several weeks back but wanted to wait for them to send out their “surprise” save the dates before I made the blog post.
Biola and Kunle are good friends of mine and they are getting married two weeks before me in fabulous San Juan Capistrano California! For a change I get to be on the other side of the camera as I’ll have a role in their wedding and I’m pretty excited about it : )
It’s always nice to have someone share the same amazing experiences as you at the same time i.e. wedding planning – Biola and I have been dress shopping together, gone on online shoe stalking missions, discussed DIY projects and have generally had a lot of fun so far planning our weddings.
Their engagement session was a lot of fun and took place close to the Philadelphia Art Museum along Boat House Row in Philadelphia which is a historic site located on the east bank of the Schuylkill that consists of a row of boathouses housing racing shells (It looks absolutely gorgeous at night). I love how the pictures look like it was a nice and warm day when in actual fact were were freezing!
Congratulations Biola and Kunle – I’m so excited for you guys and I can’t wait to be a part of your special day – Love you loads :)
Check out Zoe’s close up!
And Biola’s gorgeous shoes
We threw in this umbrella just for fun :)
I just loved this shoe shot. I’ll be posting images from this engagement session soon. Stay tuned!

Sherry, one of the co-founders, sent me an email a couple weeks back saying they would like to include my work in a feature on their blog in celebration of Black History Month and so of course I said Yes! and told Sherry how excited I was!

Christina and Rich’s wedding was the last wedding I shot in 2009. They got married in an intimate late evening ceremony at David’s country Inn in Hackettsown NJ and celebrated with cocktails and dinner with their closest family and friends. It was raining that evening and pretty dark outside so we did all of their pictures inside prior to their ceremony. Christina was a gorgeous bride and I just love the bridal portraits I captured of her – check out a few of my favorite images below.
Now that I’m finally done with posting my 2009 images – I’m officially ready for 2010 :) – Stay tuned!
p.s. Congratulations to Christina and Rich – I wish you a happy and blissful married life together!
I can’t believe it’s February already. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I’m still in December. Dear time I need you to slow down a little bit, just a little bit – Knowing my wedding is coming up soon and I still have so much left to do makes me a bit nervous however I’m really grateful to have a fabulous wedding planner – Kathy Bado – who has been all the help I can ever imagine. I’m also working with the most accommodating and talented stationery maker Debra Saba of Luxe Expressions who I did a blog post on over at my lookbook (see it here) and so things are going well in the wedding planning zone :)
2010 is going to be a very exciting year for me – God willing! Aside from my own wedding, a couple of my close friends just got engaged (Fissy and ChaCha), I’ll be a guest at quite a few weddings (I only attended 2 weddings as a guest in 2009) and I’m taking my businesses in new directions. I’m also excited to see my friends following their dreams by starting out their own businesses and becoming their own bosses – So proud of you ladies!
As always I’m grateful for all the blessings in my life and for my amazing friends and for everyone’s support :) I’ll be blogging my last wedding from 2009 (Christina + Rich) very soon – Yay! In the meantime here’s a preview of beautiful bride Christina. Full post coming soon.
The Bride’s Cafe is one of my favorite wedding planning blogs and I visit it everyday – It’s on my list of favorite wedding blogs that I posted here on the photoblog and also on my look book. So when I got an email from Janie, the fabulous lady behind The Brides Cafe blog, asking if it was ok for Nadege and Joe’s engagement session to be featured I was absolutely blown away and of course super excited!
Not only is Janie the mind behind The Bride’s Cafe, she also owns an amazing floral design business – Janie Medley Flora Design. If you are a bride to be definitely stop by The Bride’s Cafe for some wedding inspiration and check out Janie’s website as well – She’s sooo talented and amazing at what she does!
