Love is a song. It is a consonance of melodies stretching forth from the heart towards the heavens. It is no wonder, then, that Adrienne and Roger found their way to each other through music – while singing in their church youth choir 10 years ago. Gradually, they found their way into each other’s hearts […]
{Vintage} Engagement Session: Giovannii + Travis {Engaged}
Welcome to a sneak peek into a love 8 years in the making!!! Giovannii and Travis met all those years ago in the University of New Haven, Connecticut right in Biology class. They noticed each other and connected during their freshman experience program – and it was a done deal from then on. They first met […]
Engagement Announcement: A Legal Love Affair!
Joshua and I met in the basement of our law school building. The basement was a popular study area and many of us law students spend sleepless hours there relying religiously on caffeine and take-out food. Joshua and I would share stolen glances for months. Finally, I received the sweetest email from him inviting me out. I initially had cold feet due to a series of failed relationships and ending up broken hearted. At the last minute, I cancelled the date. However, he held no grudges and we began a comfortable friendship, texting and chatting from time to time.
One late night I fell ill. Being new to the area (I had moved there for law school), I had no one to turn to. Against my better judgment I sent a desperate message to Josh seeking a shoulder to lean on. He immediately asked for my address, showed up at my apartment door and drove me around town (at midnight!) to find an open pharmacy. After a few failed attempts he found one still open in the wee hours of the night and ran in to find something to make me feel better. He dropped me off afterwards and was the perfect gentleman, checking on me over the next few days to ensure I was ok.
I was instantly enamored with this man who sacrificed his night of studying to drive me around town. He never asked to come in and after the incident would simply wave at me around school. He was never aggressive or pushy and maintained a respectful distance from me. I thought of him often and finally decided that if I truly found my fairy-tale knight in shining armour, I wanted to get him first and keep him forever! Chivalry is not dead ladies! Since then we have been inseperable and I am madly in love!
Jahari + Jonathan: {Engaged}
If any two things go together perfectly, they are love and food. Many perfect dates take place over a delicious meal, and great food tickles the senses just as love tickles the heart. They are a winning combination – just like Jahari and Jonathan. Jahari’s and Jonathan’s engagement session was uniquely set in a kitchen […]
Yakentha + Casey: {Engaged}
Yakentha and Casey would be the perfect muses for a pop star’s next big love song. Instead of “Love on Top”, their song would be called “Love by Accident” or “I Got Hit by Love” – literally. Yakentha and Casey met, literally, by accident: they were involved with a car accident with each other. Instead […]
India + Dom: {Engaged}
India and Domonique met during the vivacious crazy time that is Mardi Gras. A little shimmer, a little shake, and some exposure is a guarantee that you’ll get some beads in this New Orleans Festival – but India was definitely not doing that, and might just have impressed Dom as a result. More in-depth details […]
Found Love in the Classroom: Marci and Andre Engaged!
Six years ago a girl named Marci met a boy named Andre.
Andre and Marci met at Texas Southern University. She was in her film editing class while he was the teacher’s assistant. During class, she would catch him glancing over at her. Of course, she thought he was a cutie pie. With the help of a friend, Andre got the courage to ask her for her phone number.
Andre called, as he promised and they have been by each other’s side since that phone call.

Asisat + Benjamin: {Steamy} E-Session
If you looked in the dictionary for the word, “steamy,” the images from today’s engagement session are sure to come up.

Tieshia + Tyrone: {Engaged}
Once upon a time, Tieshia “Tai” Walton and Tyrone “Ty” Robinson met in high school. Then, they went their separate ways. They would meet again years later at the party of a mutual friend, and this time, they would never separate again. This delightful engagement session was photographed by talented photographer C’na Roberts of C’na […]
Khaleshia + Bryan: {Engaged}
All proposals are wonderful, exciting, and totally exhilrating. There is nothing like that moment when the one you love looks at you and tells you that they can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives with you. However, proposals that are truly personal take the cake in my book. They prove that a man […]
