Camille and Keith

Camille and Keith have been together about, let's see if I can remember this correctly, about 53 years, give or take a month. If you check back with my blog in about 75 years, I'll post an entry about their 75th anniversary. Camille and Keith are two of the most beautiful people I've ever met. I know it's because of their love of God and the respect they have for and the guidance they've received from their parents. This couple will conquer anything placed in their path.

Jolene and I documented their ceremony at St. James AME Church in Newark New Jersey. It was in this church that their relationship grew into it's present day form. Could the well mannerism of Keith towards Camille have anything to do with the fact that her father is not only a member of St. James, but also a Minister there. Hmmmmmmm.

The reception was held in Verona, New Jersey at the Richfield Regency. The Richfield seemed to be the perfect location to hold Camille and Keith's family and friends. I think it may have been a little cold for some of Camille's relatives up from Barbados. Now..... maybe if they would have handed me a pan of fresh flying fish from home, I could have put the good word in for them. It's funny but every time I heard Camille's mother speak with her Bajan accent I got a craving for flying fish. If you've never had it, you haven't lived yet. Drop me a line and I'll send you Camille's mom's number so she can make you a batch (of course you do know I'm joking).

Camille and Keith

Camille, Keith and myself, first met at a Starbucks. People seem to look for any excuse to go to Starbucks. But all jokes aside, they're a great couple. They decided to take their engagement photos at the church where they'll be exchanging vows in August of 2007. St. James AME happens to be the same church in which they met as kids and still attend. And did I mention that Camille's father is also a Minister there? Stay tuned, this story is just getting started.

Fun in the Sun

Ok, I know it's been a little while since I've last dropped a few lines, but I'm working on it.

Last weekend August 19th, I shot the wedding of Tanisha and Jared at The Crystal Plaza, in Livingston, New Jersey.
While my friend Ron covered Jared and his men getting ready, I hung out with Tanisha and her Bride's Maids. And I'm proud to say that I will never tell anyone all of the stuff they talked about while Tanisha was getting ready. You'll have to wait for my autobiography for that.

They were definitely blessed with some great weather. And thanks to Jared's self written wedding vows, there was a point where I wasn't sure if it was too hot, or something just got in my eyes. "You can bet I'll never admit to crying during a wedding in any blog of mine" And besides, a few weeks before the wedding, I found out a friend of mine, "Mitch" was the cousin of the groom. If you know Mitch like I do, you'd have known you were in for a crazy day. They weren't the "Jets", but they came really close.
