Adrienne and Richard

Ok, after returning home from a wedding in Connecticut at 3:30am, downloading images, cleaning, and setting up my equipment to recharge, it was time (4:30am) to take a quick 2 hour nap. Then it was off to Adrienne's home in The Bronx where I met up with my friend James Ravenell. Can you say "Red Bull"
Adrienne and Richard were married at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem. It got a little emotional up at the alter, but I won't say for who. Afterwards the celebration continued up in New Rochelle at the Greentree Country Club. There's always a moment in a wedding that stands out for me, and the moment of this day had to be the dance between Richard and his mother. As mother and son danced to "I'm in the Mood for Love," Richard's mother sang every single word to him. He told me this is something she use to do when he was smaller. Again this made for a very emotional moment, especially for one person in particular. And again, I won't say who. A new beginning to close a great weekend.

Tiara and Mark

If the title sounds familiar it's because it was about two months ago that I posted their engagement photos. Well we've moved on to the main event which took place at the Green Tree Country Club in New Rochelle. The morning started a little cloudy, but the sun kicked into high gear as the day progressed. And what a beautiful day it was. Thanks to my good friend James Ravenell for shooting with me this day.
When first posted Tiara and Marks engagement photos, I spoke of the smiles that never stop. Now that I've met their families I understand where all of those smiles comes from.
As special as this wedding was for me, it was made even more so when I got to see Tanisha and Jared, whose wedding I shot last year. They're expecting another addition to the Leake trio soon. And imagine my surprise when Materia, whose marriage to James I'll be shooting later this year, sang a solo during Tiara and Mark's ceremony.
It was a great day for Bride, Groom, family, friends. Check out some of the slide show.
