She just finished line dancing, he just entered for a pool game.  Their reasons for being at that bar could not have been more different but fate knew what it was doing.  Tiffany and Ahmad’s best friends (the ones they happened to be with that night) had dated in high school, in fact, it was the same high school Tiffany and Ahmad had attended.  They didn’t know each other in high school but that night was to change everything.  It was the night that would start a relationship that would grow to happily ever after.

Tiffany and Ahmad are two of the sweetest people I’ve had the pleasure to work with.  They moved up to New Jersey from Florida in June and their Southern hospitality still beams from them every time I meet with them.  They are full of warmth, kindness and pure love.  Love for each other and their family.

We photographed their engagement session in Central Park, starting at Belvedere Castle where Ahmad proposed, and although it was colder than we expected for an October day, we had a blast. (The picture all the way to the right is a gorgeous 16 x 24 canvas hanging on their wall.)

Meet Tiffany’s beautiful children.  What an amazing family.

After a quick outfit change, we headed over to Shakespeare’s garden, one of my absolute favorite spots in Central Park (and they hold wedding ceremonies there during the summer all the time). You guys are gorgeous.

What a great time, great shoot, and a great couple.  Wait until you see their wedding pictures.

Until Next Time…

ME

There is nothing in this world that inspires me more than marriage and I am a firm believer that true love exists.  This is why I chose wedding photography. I love to be there capturing the moment when man and woman become husband and wife, uniting them as a team, a unit, forever to work with each other to make the impossible possible.  The reason I believe in this so whole hearted is because of my husband.  Charlie makes loving him just so easy.

Today we celebrate 12 years of being together (not just as husband and wife but in total) and I couldn’t consider myself anymore blessed.  When Charlie and I met it was, honestly, like all the stars aligned for us to be together.  We had been working at Barnes and Noble together but always different shifts and different ends of the store.  One day, due to circumstances, we happened to spend the whole day working side by side and the more we talked, the more I knew that I wanted to get to know this amazing man as much as I can.  Two weeks after that fateful day, my Prince moved an hour and a half away and we only saw each other 2 times a week.  But we knew that this is it, this is for the long haul.

When we married, Charlie promised to be my best friend and keeper of my dreams.  He promised to support me no matter what and this is just what he has done.  I have gone through so many changes in my life, over come many obstacles, and took on lots of challenges head on.  I am not easy to live with.  I am stubborn, emotional, spacey at times, but no matter what, I know that I will always have and have always had my man by my side pushing me and supporting me.  Now, I don’t say that marriage is easy, but Charlie certainly does not make it feel like work.  My husband knows me better than anyone else and I am thankful that through unemployment, through surgery, through health challenges, through good and bad he has been there to hold my hand.

I recently had a photo shoot done for promotional material for my business and I couldn’t even CONSIDER not including Charlie as part of my shoot as he is such an integral part of my business and the driving force behind most things I do.  The following pictures were all taken by Mike Larson of Mike Larson, Inc. and I think it is so important to stop and remember the people that matter most to you and capture the special moments you have with them.

Honey, you make me feel special, confident, and beautiful every time you look at me.  I love you more than I could ever say.  Thank you for choosing me.
