So excited to be featured on munaluchibridal.com & bellanaija.com. A couple of months ago, I had the honor to shoot with friend and fellow photographer, Petronella. She's an amazing photographer and a great friend. I was thrilled when we were able to shoot together at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY. I had an absolute blast! Her bride & groom, Jerryanne & Nathan were amazing to work with and planned an absolutely gorgeous wedding full of Afro-Caribbean culture and beautiful colors.
Here are some of the images I captured of the day.
Enjoy!
