Cole Effect Photography

I’ve know Jummy and James for quite a while and it was a HUGE huge honor documenting their wedding. James’ twin, John is one of the 3 individuals who have gone out of their way to help me become the photog I am today, so you definitely know the pressure was on for this one. It was a phenomenal celebration and I hope you enjoy viewing these pictures as much as I enjoyed creating them.  Here’s wishing the couple an awesome ‘happily ever after’.

Enjoy!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present our first ‘VE’-Session (Video Engagement-Session).  This started out as what was supposed to be a regular e-session, however, Bonnie and Jack were gracious enough to let me take the session in a whole ‘nother direction. 2 thumbs up to these love birds, they are just 2 of the most awesome people I ever met and it was FUN working with them.

Enjoy!

  New Beginnings.

Today, I present pictures from my photoshoot with the ridiculously talented singer who goes by the name of  ”Yoshi”. I heard her sing as we were prepping for the shoot and I literally had to stop and listen! Watch-Out-World…you will be hearing much more from this talented young lady.

Make Up: Rasheeda ‘Stay Fancy’ Bogle.

As a rule, I tend to avoid covering birthday parties. That said, I was glad I broke my rule to cover Ms Selina’s birthday extravaganza. It was a tastefully orchestrated evening with so much love and goodwill flowing all night long.  It was easy to see that all the guests were gathered to honor a truly great woman who had touched the lives of so many positively.

Enjoy!

Her children presented a gift to their mother.

Her brother was quite the entertainer…

Ladies and Gentlemen, today I present to you, Rhoda. The first time I saw this young lady, I knew I HAD to work with her. I was thrilled to see her live up to and beyond the hype. We created some fantastic images that I am excited to share with you.

Make up was by ‘the amazing’ Shedisha Orphee.

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!
