It seems like one shot posts are all I am able to do these days, so if that is all I get, why not make it a stunner…and that’s just what I thought of this portrait of Autumn on her wedding day – she was a beautiful and stunning bride. I love the honeyed softness of this shot and the subtle way her skin glows. Every bride should get a beauty shot if time permits! I will bring wedding pictures sometime soon. Cheers!
April 19, 2011 - 11:48 pm - If there ever is anything as a perfect shot, this is it, you should send it to Essence or Ebony Magazine, girl you're good! I'll be up all night tonight:)
April 20, 2011 - 6:41 am - Awww, a true beauty shot, I love this and FYI I want one just like this!
April 20, 2011 - 6:48 am - I can imagine this framed up on the fire place, it's very classic, i'm sure the bride loves it. Who did her make up?
April 20, 2011 - 6:52 am - Is this the same girl in the engagement pictures below? It doesn't even look like the same person, I love it, great job Judah Avenue.
April 20, 2011 - 7:04 am - This belongs in a make-up publication, Hellloo covergirl! nice.
April 28, 2011 - 7:47 am - Lovely shot all the way...good skin rendition.
May 17, 2011 - 9:51 am - lovely shot. gorgeous bride.
We set out on this shoot with high hopes for a promised 60 degree weather day, however, when we got on location -a cozy little trail in College Park- it was freezing cold! Despite the frigid temperatures, Grace and Gabriel were resilient and found many things to joke about. Here is a sneak peak of their engagement shoot. This picture is heartwarming to me because when I first met Grace, she told me how much she loved Gabriel’s laugh and this shot says it all…
March 13, 2011 - 12:36 am - Pretty Pretty Pretty, this picture has soo much emotion, you did well to capture this, great job, I'm sure they love it.
March 13, 2011 - 12:39 am - Awwww love it, look at that basket of flowers, totally Kuul.
March 13, 2011 - 6:39 pm - Are you kidding me, you need to stop with this sneak preview stuff, can't wait to see the full shoot,
March 13, 2011 - 6:40 pm - Beautiful, you can really feel the season.
April 12, 2011 - 6:09 am - It has been a pleasure working with you these past few weeks, Your work is top notch and I will recommend you to everybody I know, keep in touch!
So, its not that I don’t believe in black and white shots, I love them, but this Fall engagement shoot made it so difficult for me to choose any black and white shots for the blog. I love love loved every single image and could not resist presenting this post to you in beautiful riotous fresh color. I’m not going to rhapsodize about the beautiful magical light but yes the amazingly fabulous and warm lighting is every reason why more people should get engaged in the fall. This couple is not only beautiful for my pictures but soothing for the spirit. The bride-to-be, also called Autumn, is a talented violinist and when she played I wanted to put down my camera and just lie by the lake and lose myself in the sweeping streams of violin. Hope you guys enjoy viewing the photos as much as I did taking them. Congratulations to Autumn and Suleman (who fell in love with Autumn!)

So I’ve decided to do what everybody else is doing and join Facebook, and make longer posts so, starting with Dug and Makia, who were such an amazing couple to work with. Thanks for making me a part of your day Dug and Makia, you rock! Oh by the way this bride is TALENTED! She made the beautiful bouquet she is holding at the end of this post on the spur of the moment, I was really impressed and honored to work with her. I know with all the creativity she let out for her special day, we’ll someday be hearing more of her in wedding circles. Enjoy.

A LoveStyle™ shoot is a Judah Avenue mini photo session just for those who are not quite engaged but still want some romantic shots together. This shoot was flirty, whimsical and loads of fun to shoot. Special thanks to these two who were totally game for a few shots on a pretty but hot spring day…can’t complain though, the flowers came all out for us. Keep posted for more pictures.
