Miesha & Jon (St. Marteen Wedding)

At the end of 2010, I was granted with the opportunity to shoot one of my former classmates/friends Jon Suber and his lovely bride to be--Miesha.  They were to be wed on December 4, 2010 on the beautiful island of St. Marteen.  Now, a couple things i need to mention; it was dead of winter, it was my last wedding of the year, and most importantly :) your boy mr. poteat was not hitting the gym in prep for beach lounging!!  So outside of shooting an amazing event, i was a lil scurred about floating in my trunks in the blue lagoon.....lol.  Silly me.  Moving on...*while eating a fresh baked oatmeal raisin cookie. 

Jon and Miesha's wedding had to be hands down one of the best wedding experiences for me.  Simply because, it was a 80+ attended destination wedding, and all the people who were on dock were hella-amazing!  I damn near forgot i was working, because it just seemed like i was shooting and hanging with family and my friends the entire time.  The weather was gorgeous, the scenery was breathtaking, and....i know i said it before, the experience WAS one of the best.  Cheers to the happy couple for such a memorable weekend.

    

 This here wedding party WAS DOING IT. I leaned on my fashion shooting side, and just told everyone to pose, pose, pose....make love to the camera....give me FACE...give me DRAMA....give me LOOOOOOOOOOVE... (okay, i didnt really say all those things, but in my head...i did)

 Drinking was allowed at the wedding......a lot. Nuff said.

This is one of my favorite photos of the couples first dance......just look at it. Eyes closed, mouth beaming from side to side.....and totally in a state of bliss being held by her man. *tear

There is just something about a mother/son ------------father/daughter dance that gets me everytime.  I mean literally, IT GETS ME. Tears be all in my lens cap....knees be feeling all weak and stuff.  Sigh, feels like i am on the lifetime channel..........i blame oprah.

Thank you Miesha and Jon.......for choosing me... as your wedding photographer and friend :)

Oh, and you KNOW THERES A VIDEO....
