I just completed a great run where I photographed the weddings of 3 great couples who are all friends. Abimbola & Yomi, Nene & Emmanuel, and now Bola & Mohammed. This list actually includes 4 if Nkechi & Amaechi are included (their wedding was overseas but they are friends with the aforementioned couples also).

By the time Bola and Mohammed's wedding rolled around there was already a great sense of familiarity, trust and chemistry between me and the couple. I was able to get a great feel for all the major players of the day and focus on creating great shots of the moments on their special day.

Here are a few selects:

I loved the chance to photograph all of these weddings in the DFW area and we'll see if I can extend the streak going into the new year! ;)

I recently photographed Chiso & George's wedding in Atlanta and wanted to share some of the photos with you. Their wedding came in just the nick of time--I was just itching to leave Houston as we were still without power from the Hurricane and there was still debris lining the streets. It was the perfect opportunity to get away.

I was greeted with absolutely PERFECT weather in the ATL and almost didn't want to go back! It has been over 5 years since I've last been to Atlanta so I spent some time in the (totally revamped) Buckhead district and Lenox Square Mall. I was impressed; I definitely would like the chance to come visit again soon.

They are a very laid back couple but their wedding day had plenty of interesting and exciting moments. Here are just a few of them:

The ladies began to get ready for the ceremony in the Hilton (which is where the reception took place as well).

I think there's no question as to who he's looking at. :)

Nene has been a regular presence in my photos from my weddings in the DFW area for the past couple of years as she's been a participant in all but one! I also had the opportunity to meet her husband Emmanuel (then her fiance, of course) as well which is perfect--by the time their wedding rolled around they were more than familiar with how I work. :) I also became familiar with them--namely Nene's easy going nature and Emmanuel's great sense of humor.

Believe it or not, these two have known each other for 17 years and their love has survived all kinds of challenges including an ocean in between them at one point. ;) What a privilege to be a part of a day with almost two decades of buildup! :D

Things started off with the ladies getting ready at the Hilton and the guys prepared across the street at the Marriott Fairfield Inn:

Here are a couple of shots of the newlyweds enjoying each other's company

This had to be among the most impressive first dances I've ever seen

Nene is an incredible dancer and was enjoying herself all night

One more wedding from the DFW area coming up soon!
(and Nene was there, too! ;) )

As a follow up to yesterday's post, here are images from the Hornitos event at Richs night club:

Although most of my images are coming from weddings these days, I also continue to photograph night life events when the opportunity arises.

Hornitos hosted two events recently that I photographed. I'll be blogging about the second one tomorrow, but for now, here are a few images from their August event at Belvedere Lounge:
