In Zandra’s words, “We met in the parking lot at church one gorgeous spring day.  It was not by chance.  I think Michael had it all planned out. I say (jokingly) that he had been stalking me.  Of course, his account of how we met is different; he says I was scoping him out for weeks, but my story is the “true” version.  Michael and I have known each other for almost 3 years.  It did not take us long to realize we wanted to spend our lives together.  We got engaged earlier this year, and in just a few months planned a wedding and here we are! 

 It’s a Nigerian wedding and I’m really excited about it. Don’t know what that looks like? Me either….Stay tuned…..

This is my new york couple, Nikki and Nate. They’re getting married in October and I’m super excited about their wedding. I’m also looking forward to a trip to the Big Apple for their engagement session this spring. We had a short session scheduled for last Saturday to get a few shots for their Save the Date cards but due to my car accident, I couldn’t make it. It’s the first time in 13 years that I have had this happen and I felt sick about it. Fortunatly, there are some awesome photographers around that are also amazing people and one of these is Hassel Weems.  He heard about the accident and immediately contacted me, offering to cover anything that I had scheduled.  Since Nikki and Nate were only in from New York this particular weekend, it was one of those that couldn’t be re-scheduled and I am so grateful for Hassel.  They say that in times of crisis, you find out who your real friends are and I just wanted to publicly thank him for being just that.

Nikki and Nate, thanks for being flexible and I look forward to seeing you both very soon. You are a very beautiful couple!
