Picture of the Moment: Sammakai and Jangar Walking the Walk

This fabulous couple was one of the highlights of my summer. I knew right from speaking with them over the phone that they would be a pleasure to work with. The bride, Jangar, is one of the most graceful ladies I have ever met. She is soft-spoken, intelligent and absolutely gorgeous! Sammakai said he knew Judah Avenue was the one when he saw Abi and Jesse’s picnic shoot. He proposed to Jangar over a gondola boat ride with a romantic picnic after that (lucky girl, Jangar!) In that moment, I knew this was a man who not only talked the romantic talk but also walked the walk…and when he showed up in fresh and glossy Christian Louboutins on his wedding day, I knew their’s would be a walk (ahem wedding) to remember!

Vince and Ticona: Taking Love One Cut Above

It’s hard to put your finger on it, but when you see Vince and Ticona close together in those quiet moments, sharing intimate jokes with one another, you know what it is: real love. Vince is a romantic at heart. And he’s also a successful entrepreneur. He owns a barber shop called 1 Cut Above, but for his fiancee, Ticona, it’s Vince who’s above the rest.

When Vince asked Ticona to marry him, he surprised her by having R&B singer Anthony Hamilton serenade her with the song, “The Point of It All.” Nothing sweeps a woman off of her feet like a sweet, sweet melody.

For their engagement shoot, Vince and Ticona kept it close to home in Sandy Spring, Maryland and selected Woodlawn Manor for their engagement shoot. We took advantage of the organic, warm, natural scenery on hand for what turned out to be a very short but intimate and loving photo shoot.
