Engaged in Atlanta

I had the pleasure of photographing DeJaune and Ben, a cute couple who got engaged in Atlanta. Even though they met in high school, they weren’t high school sweethearts. Their friendship developed into a mutual attraction, then a relationship and now an engagement. I’ve always believed the best relationships start as friendships. When I asked Ben his favorite thing about DeJaune, he said “Her beautiful smile. Her whole face lights up.” I asked DeJaune the same question and she felt the same way about Ben. You can see from the engagement photos below, they both have beautiful smiles. These two just exude love and happiness. You can tell that they really enjoy each other’s company. Who else but a playful couple who really loves each other, would play Thumb Wars during an engagement shoot. We had a great time taking photos near Atlantic Station and the Millennium Gate museum. First Date – Johnson Family Reunion Favorite Movies to Watch – (DeJaune) chick flicks, (Ben) Action. Favorite Things to Do Together – Just relax, snuggle on the couch and spend time together. They sound like my kind of couple. Instead of spending their engagement planning a wedding, they spent their time search […]

As the couples finished their meals catered by Sonesta Gwinnet Place and the Muna Coterie Valentine’s Day dinner began coming to an end, the couples continued to talk and laugh with each other over a glass of wine. Mr. McClenton continued to serenade them on the flute and Daniella shared with the group how she met the love of her life. Daniella met Michael on Tinder, a popular dating app. Although she was “anti-online dating,” she felt it would be a good way to meet new people. After being matched, Daniella and Michael chatted for a couple of weeks before meeting in person. On their first date Michael took her out for a fun night of dinner and dancing on River Street in Savannah, Ga, which led to their loving relationship.When they began looking for rings, Daniella’s mom recommended that they reset her engagement ring. So she gave Michael the engagement ring to “hold” which he put on a necklace that he wore daily. Surprisingly, Michael lost the ring one weekend, and couldn’t find it. Daniella stated she was “livid and cried because of the sentimental value.” Little did she know, Michael had found the ring and had a big surprise for her. While […]

The Muna Coterie Valentine’s Day Dinner continued as the couples continued to have fun talking and dancing. Anita Baker was soon requested and played by Mr. McClenton, the flutist. Soon they each gathered around to watch just one of 5 meals prepared in front of them by the fabulous Sonesta chef. Meals varied from delicious appetizers like asparagus risotto to amazing entres such as chicken milanese. While wining and dining Arielle shared her love story with the others. Arielle met the love of her life,Leland, during her undergrad years at Tuskegee University in 2009. They formed a great friendship, but after graduation Leland moved to Nashville and while Arielle stayed at Tuskegee to attend Veterinary school. It was after her first year of vet school, Leland and Daniella rekindled their friendship which quickly turned into a relationship. Daniella says she knew they were meant to be together, and since 2013 she has been “the happiest woman alive.” During a visit to Nashville, to visit Leland, they visited Tennessee State museum which she fell in love with and became her favorite spot that she insisted they visit every time she came to visit him. On January 1st 2016, after the Nashville New Years […]

Valentine’s Day Dinner

A couple of weeks ago, Munaluchi hosted a special culinary event for 3 newly engaged couples, with the help of their Coterie members. Being that Valentine’s Day is in February, it has been deemed the month of love, and this event celebrated that love among these newly engaged couples. The night began in an intimate setting beautifully designed by Enraptured Events. Each couple began to introduce and talk amongst themselves while enjoying a glass of wine. After a few minutes of laughing while music by Mr. McClenton played in the background, Kisha and Sean shared their story. Kisha met her love Sean through a mutual friend, as they attended a birthday party together. That night they enjoyed each other’s company as they casually chatted, but lost touch soon after. It wasn’t until a couple of months later that they happened to run into each other again, as they each went out with mutual friends. It was then that Sean began to pursue Kisha, which led to a friendship, which we all know is the foundation to a great relationship. Towards the end of 2015, Kisha began to feel that a proposal was coming, but to her surprise he still hadn’t popped […]

Agnes Scott Engagement Photos

Kristen and Nick braved the sweltering summer heat to take engagement photos at Agnes Scott College, where Kristen just finished her post-Baccalaureate pre-med school program. Agnes Scott engagement photos offer a variety of scenic backdrops with its Gothic architecture, the Alumnae Garden featuring a fish pond and much needed shade from the 100+ year old trees. Kristen and Nick were so carefree and relaxed, you’d never know from the photos that it was 95 degrees and we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes. They were great sports. I’m looking forward to photographing Kristen and Nick’s wedding at the Payne Corley House in Sept.

Lacey & Craig’s Engagement Session

Lacey & Craig braved the cold weather snap we had 2 weeks ago to take engagement portraits. It was cold, windy & rainy with the temperatures in the 40s. Lacey seemed okay in her wool coat, but Craig & I were really cold. My fingers were frozen numb. Despite all that, we got some great images so it was worth it. I like changes in weather (one of the reasons why I left LA) so I’m not afraid to get out in it.
