It starts with a dream…
Posted By: Charisse
Join me for an episode of what happens when plans get changed and improvisation is required! Our assignment this week was to capture an engaged couple. I had several engagement sessions over the last few months, unfortunately not of them included a video camera. After putting a few requests out there and even asking a few couples down at my local city hall (all whom declined) justice of the piece, it was obvious that Plan B was necessary.
The images are of my wonderful friends Marques & Tiana. They were so amazing to work with. We had so much fun! Their love was so strong and their personalities so sweet that it I almost forgot I was working. When work feels like play, you know you are on to something good. Tiana & Marques have also given me the honor of capturing their special day next summer! Obviously I am beyond excited. Also, Tiana is an extremely talented graphic designer who makes residence over at Cat Lady Designs Online. If you are in need of a logo, website or graphic design project check her out and tell her I sent you! Tiana & Marques, thank you for giving me the opportunity to document the prelude to your special day! You guys rock!
It is fun seeing the interaction between people in love. Looking at the obvious yet, finding that different perspective is also very enjoyable to me. The intensity of real love, real emotions & real joy that people are able to see in their images excite me.
Have you nailed down your favorite subjects point your cameras at yet or new ways to work within the standard venues?



HA! So fun!
And Charisse – daaaaang, woman. Your images are BRILLIANT! It’s clear that beautiful couple felt comfortable enough to be authentic with you. I think that is so hard to do and you made it look effortless. LOVE THESE!!!
amazing Charisse! City Hall? You have become so confident and bold.
Charisse,
Great photos of this lovely couple and even funnier interactions with the kids (not paid of course). LOL! Great job again my friend.
Charisse, I think your kids are a serious career ahead of them as actors. LOL I love it! Can’t wait to see the wedding images next year!
