LaShonda + Grant

"Our story starts a little over 20 years ago. A friend introduced us, I (LaShonda) was in junior high and Grant was a freshman in high school. We spent many nights watching dollar movies and eating taco bell.  As most young couples, we separated and dated other people. But in the end we were destined to be together. We had a bond no one could brake.  Everything from homecoming, afroball and prom, we spent those special occasions together. As a teenager you may think you are in love, but as we grew older we really understood  what love was. 

   As we approached our adult years, it was apparent we couldn't be separated. We did everything backwards, we bought a house, had kids and finally tied the knot June 9, 2012, but it worked for us. Although we waited a long time to make a life long commitment, we have grown to really know each other. Neither of us would change it. We have 2 beautiful children, we love each other  and are in love. Trust and honesty will keep us together."

Chrissy & James

I had the absolute pleasure to photograph Chrissy & Puck's Wedding at Tamaron Country Club.

Chrissy's family and my family are pretty close, so when she asked me to be her photographer for her wedding I was honored to do so! She is such an awesome woman and she has such great kids to top it off! She would do anything for a friend, so I wanted to make sure that ALL of her wedding images are delivered as Family Heirlooms. Think about it - wedding pictures are the only thing left from a Wedding Day that has recorded moments and events of the day. Typically I retouch & color correct my top 100 favorite images for the Wedding Album, but for Chrissy & Puck I hand touched each and every image - a little (okay ALOT) of extra care went into these because Chrissy put extra care into our friendship :)

 I LOVE these preparation shots.....

especially this one - look how Happy she is :)

What A Stunning Bride!!!!

1st Look Sessions are ALWAYS a GREAT idea!!!  This is Puck's 1st look at Chrissy, Major was still in "don't look" mode - lol! What a cutie pie he is!

Love these!!!

I had a really hard time picking through all the photos for my blog! I thought this bouquet shot was perfect and showed off Chrissy's dress. The flowers are designed by Enchanting Flowers

I LOVE when I capture these kind of moments! Especially the one with her Grandma :)

This cake was SO yummy! I look forward to the cake at a reception, Imean who doesn't like wedding cake? I have been disappointed a few times with it being dry, but not this one!!! Cakes by Stephanie is awesome!!! ...can you see the word LOVE through out the cake? :)

First Dances are awesome! I usually tear up during a 1st Dance, because they are soooo special and tender and loving and am honored to be able to capture it and freeze it in time.

This wedding was SO much fun! Congrats Chrissy & Puck!!!! May you two have a lifetime of happiness~
