Fred + Tia | Destin, FL - It's For Real (Part I)

Ever since shooting Fred and Tia's engagement session in Pensacola (March 2009) I had been anticipating photographing their wedding in Destin two months later. I just really enjoyed the time spent getting to know the couple and their unique story. Turns out, I didn't have to wait too long for the big day because May 23rd (also my sister's birthday) rolled around faster than I could blink. We arrived in Florida the Friday before the wedding just in time to hear the changes to the original layout of the ceremony. Everyone was in a delightful mood and I spent a good while speaking with Fred's mom about how it was time to let go.

Although we produced an album from the engagement session and printed a huge canvas for guests to sign at the welcome reception, I couldn't help but be surprised to see my images on display. It was like looking in a mirror (weird!) as I stood in front of the table and the easel. Anyways, the ceremony and reception was truly one-of-a-kind. Fred and Tia sought ways to make their wedding resemble so many things they liked. Instead of typing them all I will let you review the images from the next two posts and you'll see for yourself. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to the Dr. Mrs. KNIGHT!

Marrying my wife is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me besides finding God. Today we celebrated Brandi's birthday with friends and family. I promise that I let her eat that cupcake after teasing her for at least 15 minutes...

I love you babe! I thank God for your life and I look forward to us growing old together and celebrating our birthdays for the rest of our lives.

Andrew + Nancy | Castleberry Hills Art District

I met Nancy (niece of NBA player Dikembe Mutombo) at the Four Seasons bridal extravaganza earlier this year and from the time we first spoke I knew that she would be a joy to photograph. Her smile is infectious. Andrew attended our initial consultation at my West Midtown studio and we both connected about our drive to succeed in business and in life. I could tell he was smitten with love from the moment I asked him about the proposal story. Since Nancy's family is from the Congo and Andrew has his roots in Nigeria I decided for the engagement session to give the couple a tour of the Castleberry Hills Art District of Atlanta - my neck of the woods. Its just a stone's throw from where I attended undergrad in the West End at Morehouse. During the shoot we had lively conversation about the joys and challenges of marriage. I'm still a newlywed but I can already give advice about a thing or two. Andrew and Nancy will marry this November so look out for that post before the end of the year.

KNIGHT + Essence Magazine

I'm back from Jamiaca and still going strong. Thanks to all that sent me emails about being featured on Essence.com. What an honor and a surprise it was when I clicked on the link - Black Book of Wedding Planning!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day. We are planning for our workshops this weekend right now. The opening mixer is tonight. We decided to take a quick break for this snapshot. You'll notice a new face - Lauren - our intern for the summer. She just started this week and has been awesome with helping out. She went to SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) just like Anna Beth. They are turning out some excellent photographers as Lauren and I went on a photojournalism escapade around Atlanta on Tuesday and I reviewed her images.


Blog you soon!

Ken + Melanie | Montego Bay, Jamaica - Love Messages in the Night

I've decided to share a few pictures from yesterday that were totally heart touching to me. This has to be the coolest send off I have ever seen! After the ceremony yesterday it became dark within a matter of minutes. At the end of dinner, everyone wrote messages to the couple on miniature hot air balloons. We all walked down to the beach so the family and friends could release the flaming well wishes into the abyss of the Caribbean sky. We all stood and watched as the balloons rose higher and higher until we could not distinguish them from the stars. It was a marvelous display of light.
