Jordonna + DaShaun: Preview Wedding Photos!

What a great wedding for a couple that are just perfect for each other!    It took me a whole day just to select photos for this blog post, because there are so many that I love.

I started the day out at Jordonna’s parents house photographing the girls getting ready.   They had awesome light coming through the windows in the living room, I had a great time messing around with different camera settings to create funky light effects.  Here’s one:

A quick shot of all the bridesmaids while we waited for Jordonna to finish getting ready:

I really dig this one of DaShaun:

Second week of bringing Katherine (the new assistant) with me, and it paid off BIG TIME.   My plan during the ceremony was to run around like I normally do and cover all angles myself.  I gave her a camera to use and told her to stand in a corner of the room facing the bride and groom.    Well….the ceremony was PACKED with guests.  There were so many guests they ran out of seats.  So the guests started lining up in the isles and I couldn’t get through to take pictures.    Katherine though, was boxed into the perfect spot and she did an AWESOME job.   Lesson learned:  2nd photographer at weddings = ESSENTIAL.   She gets the photo credit for the next 2:

The reception was the bomb…I’ve never seen so many people on a dance floor in my life.  The dance floor was completely packed like in the following picture the entire night….oh, plus the fried pork chops were delicious.  I ate 2!  LOL.  :)

    Jordonna,

    I see why you were crying! That was just a heart breaking moment that every mother dreams for her daughter.
    Simply beautiful. A match made from Heaven. Simply innocent. Well deserving. Blessed of God is it’s evidence.
    I will forward this to Tianna. Thank you for making it happen. You and hubby are to be commended for a job well done!

    Girl that was the best wedding/reception ever. They even had a sister at the wedding playing the harp.

    Girl Rob and I were so glad we could be there and be with ALL of our friends some we hadn’t seen since we left Detroit.

    EVERYTHING was soooooooooo nice.

    You should be so proud. You looked dropped dead gorgeous.

    You are already a beautiful girl but that’s the best I have seen you look since………………just kidding.

    We had so much that I can’t wait for Lil Wayne’s. :-0 LOL

    I know they made out like fat cats on the gifts/money. If we had to do it all over again, we would.

    Love you all and bye.
