Connie & Kai

Last weekend I documented the union of Connie and Kai at the beautiful Carmel Baptist Church in Charlotte. Theirs was a traditional ceremony shared with family and close friends. It was one of the happiest celebrations I've seen- EVERYONE was smiling, laughing and just... HAPPY!

Funny, I should say that because I did not understand any portion of the ceremony or reception. I did not know what the pastor said to them, what they said to one another or what their family and friends said to or about them. Although I did not understand, I still knew. True love has no language, you just feel it and that is what I felt as photographed their day.

Connie and Kai, thank you for the opportunity to share your day. I wish you continued love and most importantly happiness for years to come... Congratulations!!

Sylvie and Roger

On July 23, I watched Sylvie and Roger as they joined hearts as one. I was with Sylvie all day as she transformed into a Queen preparing for her King. I witnessed both tears and smiles of joy throughout the day. It was a beautiful ceremony held at Bethel Outreach International Church filled with friends and family literally from all over the world!

Sylvie has such a gentle spirit and a warm loving heart. Its no wonder why she was blessed by the presence of so many. All night long EVERYONE said the same things about her. In fact, her gentle spirit was what I noticed about her when we first met.

I am so honored that she selected me to capture the moments of her day! During their Engagement Session Sylvie and Roger prayed together before and after the shoot. I knew from then that theirs was a love that would be blessed for years to come. Congratulations!!

Here are a few of my favorite images from their day....
















Just look at Roger's eyes as he sees Sylvie for the first time...



At this time Sylvie and Roger ONLY see one another! The way they are looking at each other is as if no one else is in the room!












The Acopian Hall Looked Spectacular!



The Details were AMAZING!













Simply A Beautiful Bride!

Our Time

July 4th weekend, Sylvie and Roger spent some quiet time together as they prepared for their wedding day later that month. I watched them in awe as they walked, laughed and prayed together. It was amazing to witness the love God placed in their hearts for each another.

This was a surprise session that Sylvie's Bridesmaid arranged for her. I thought it was such a beautiful gesture and how special Sylvie must be to her.

Everyone should be so blessed...
