Featured in Essence: Asiah & Gerald’s Day-After Portraits
I’m thrilled to share that I was recently featured in Essence for Asiah and Gerald’s wedding story. Their feature, “Bridal Bliss: Asiah And Gerald Make A Stunning Case For A Day-After Portrait Session”, highlights the beauty of slowing down, making intentional choices, and capturing love in a way that feels true to you.
Take Time for What Matters
Asiah and Gerald decided early on to do portraits the next day instead of cramming them into the wedding day timeline.
“We were excited about the idea of a next-day shoot from the start of wedding planning because I knew we wouldn’t have time on the wedding day to take more relaxed, playful portraits.”
This gave them the freedom to be fully present on the wedding day, enjoying their guests and soaking in every moment without the stress of rushing through portraits.
Give Yourself Breathing Room
Our day-after session allowed them to enjoy portraits without the time pressure.
“The next-day shoot gave us a chance to capture that spontaneous joy without the rush.”
When couples have space to breathe, the energy is different- the laughter is easier, the smiles are bigger, and the photos feel natural and full of life.
Let Your Story Show in the Details
Their bridal suite was decorated with personal touches that made every image feel uniquely theirs.
“Our bridal suite…was a true reflection of who we are as a couple, filled with personal touches that made it feel intimate and special.”
Bringing meaning into your photos doesn’t require perfection; just little pieces of your story that matter to you.
Choose Connection Over Perfection
Choosing a photographer isn’t just about style, it’s about chemistry. The right photographer will help you feel at ease, guide you through the process, and create a space where you can be fully yourself.
When that connection is there, your photos won’t just be pretty, they’ll be you.
The Experience Matters
Being featured in Essence reminded me that great wedding photography is about more than images. It’s about helping couples feel seen, supported, and celebrated. When you work with me, I focus on guiding you through every step so you feel confident, calm, and ready to enjoy your day, while I capture every moment beautifully.
