St Valentine – Latrice + Steven
Posted on February 14, 2012
I had the pleasure of shooting Latrice and Steven’s e-Session. Getting to know the couple and their inspiring love story has been a pleasure and it is one of the reasons I enjoy doing what I do.
Their chemistry and energy were truly a photographers dream and I think it’s apt for this session to be my Valentine’s day post. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed documenting this fabulous couple.
It’s “All Love”….pun intended
Checkmate!
Ladies & Gentlemen, LOVE is in the building…Happy Valentine’s Day people!

In my opinion, head shots force a different kind of interaction between the photographer and their subject than you would see if there was more of a ‘set’ or ‘environment’. Tiffany was one of the models I worked with on my ongoing head shot series. Outside of the fact that we got some stunning images, she was really cool to work with.
Enjoy!

Mr Smart
Posted on February 1, 2012
I was on 2nd-shooter duties helping out Mr Smart with a wedding in New York. I covered the groom getting ready and then had a little picture making fun with the awesome wedding party before they headed out to the ceremony.
I especially liked the group picture above as I got to try out the photo stitching method I learned from Ryan Brenizer. It’s a technique where your subjects have to stand really still while you take a bunch of pictures. In post-production, you ‘stitch’ the pictures together to make them look like one shot. For those of you who know a little about photography, you may ask, ‘why not use a wider lens?”….In all honesty, there are a few benefits to taking the picture this way, but that aside, some of us just simply enjoy that road less traveled
. I think this particular one turned out pretty ok.
Enjoy, some more pics below.

I’ve been busy busy with wedding season (more posts to come soon) and lights… I’ve been in the process of setting up a studio these past few months as I’m diversifying my portfolio of services into beauty and fashion. I will be launching a separate site for that work pretty soon… stay tuned for more info.
Today, I bring you a few images from the shoot with the talented Ms B.

Yury & Wali – First Look + Wedding
Posted on June 5, 2011
Yury & Wali opted for a “First Look” before their wedding ceremony. It was on the grounds of their hotel, the Wilshire Grand. We shot Wali, his Grooms Men and ‘THOR’ right before the first look and it all set the tone for the rest of their wonderful wedding day.
Like I said earlier, THOR made a special apprearance
We had Wali at the end of a walkway in the garden waiting on his beautiful bride.
She had to make sure her man was picture perfect.
Love and Joy were in overdrive at Yury & Wali’s day and it was easy to see that these two have a really special bond. I appreciate the trust the couple put in me to capture their wedding and I wish them a Happy Married Life.

IVY LOVE
Posted on June 4, 2011
I had the pleasure of shooting Modupe & Femi’s E-Session a few weekends ago. It was one of those days we were hoping the Weather man was wrong or the rain would be nice and hold out till we were done taking pictures. It didn’t quite work out that way and Mr. Weather Man was right..well somewhat right. It did start raining, we went half way across town to a rain locataion, but we got to there, the rain stopped! The couple were really cool and extremely gracious about it all and we ended up having a really nice session.
Congrats to the couple on their upcoming wedding.
