Dee and Tory

This is hands down, ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICS!!!  Sorry, I know that's a sidebar to a complete post about the budding couple Dee and Tory.  But hell, its my blog and....well, i make the rules.  Moving on.........the lovely lady being held above is Dee.  She and I met a little over a year ago at her sister's wedding---Natisha.  Shortly after the wedding, I received a very complimentary e-mail requesting me as HER wedding photographer! Can you say "LOVES IT" any louder.  Dee has to be the most sweet and easy going person i've met.  And as for her husband........well, he's a perfect match.

OH OH...to see how her and her fiance met---click here: www.poteatconsulting.com/deeandtory.html  ITS LIKE A WHOLE BIG STORY OF THEIR ROMANCE...shot by me of course!

Anywho, they decided to wed on a beautiful August evening...emphasis on BEAUTIFUL.  The weather couldn't have been sweeter to Mr. Poteat if.  Me and fellow photographer, Alex Sanchez were in for an experience.... A lovely set of images and moments to capture.  It was such an honor being their. Thank you again, Dee and Tory. 

The couple's grand entrance was accompanied by a african drummer and belly dancers.  Different.  But very very beautiful to watch....badaboom badaboom boom boom (inner drummer boy)

Jealous much! Someone tapped into her inner beyonce...or shall i say, "sasha fierce"

This couple couldn't keep their hands to themselves......and who could blame them

The First dance!

See....still can't keep their hands to themselves during this wonderful set of toasts

The DJ threw on the cha cha slide........and in wedding world, that means GET YOUR BUTT ON THE FLOOR AND DANCE...........present company included (don't judge me i love that song)

There THEY GO AGAIN.......................man, i love my job :)

Lastly, wanna check out their video:

The Brinkleys

Our courting session began....hmmmm, i would say AT LEAST A YEAR IN ADVANCE....And by courting, i mean....She (faith) called me (leonard), and asked would I shoot her wedding.  Date was TBD, location TBD, details...TBD.  All that was important was that she wanted me to be her photographer for when all those pesky details did actually come to light.  That made my heart smile from the beginning, as I am very appreciative to be here showing you ...what i witnessed on that beautiful day---June 26th.  I know I say this often, but this couple made me smile the entire time shooting.

Her style was vintage chic, her swagger was definetly saying ...."its' my day".  Why?  Because Faith looked absolutely gorgeous on "her day". 

This pretty much sums up what I was working with the entire wedding....AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND FUN COUPLE...  (claps real loud)

Gregory and Felicia

Meet Gregory and Felicia....I must have been very tied up, that I never posted their engagement pictures...we took while strolling along Washington Memorial park in Baltimore, Md...so this will be a two part posting...some of their engagements....and BAM, wedding photos!  Talk about a two for one special!!!!  Anywho, this couple was very special to me...as they were referred to me by the daughter of the bride (aka my poetry bandit).  Shooting them was like shooting a couple that's been in love for ever.  I told them to imagine themselves on a simple date/stroll in the park...what would you do?  How would you interract with one another ....and PLEASE FORGET ABOUT THE BALD GUY HOLDING THE CAMERA in ur face.

lets see how they did...

Aren't they just adooooooooooooooooooooorable!!  Now for the BIG DAY!

This was very much a family affair.  Note: Daughter doing mother's make-up....aka teh poetry bandit i referenced earlier.  Moments like these folks...are rare, and I am sooo fortunate to be able to capture them for lovely people.Grandma and her grandbabies.....  (sigh, i think i am having another moment....)Now thats a first kiss!!!  I am such a sucker for a sneak away moment....something voyeuristic and UTTERLY romantic about it...just makes me swoon.  Yes, I swoon.

Corrie and John

Meet Corrie and John (Johnson)...these two lovely love a dub bub birds came into my life by way of a Pitt alumnus/friend...GO PITT!  The wedding ceremony took place on the U.Maryland campus on a blistering hot summer day.  Emphasis on blistering. Along with me for this shoot, is one of my favorite second photographers ---Ms. Jenn Tyre (almeniajphotography.com).  She totally rocks, and in the midst of shooting this couple---busted up her finger....(such an icky bloody sight).  But here at P.I.C...toss a couple of pills, throw on a band-aide and get back to work!  Just Kidding.  Enjoy this wedding folks, as i enjoyed shooting it.
