It’s not everyday that a friend reaches out to you to document their wedding day. So when Ayanna contacted me to book her wedding package, I was excited for two reasons! Number one, I wanted to meet the guy who had stolen her heart. Ayanna is very deliberate in the way she makes decisions, so I knew that if she committed to someone, he had to be pretty amazing. And he is! I had the pleasure of meeting Junior when I took their engagement images in Brooklyn, NY on a rainy afternoon in November. He had such good energy on that day and was a pleasure to be around. He’s absolutely right for Ayanna.

Number two, I was excited to be the storyteller of the day! The wedding was held at the Dale Ruritan Pavilion in Richmond, Virginia. Knowing Ayanna and her love of music, I knew that this day would have many extraordinary moments filled with music and love; and it did. From the couple’s first look, to the drum processional, to even the family formals, love and music were everywhere! Not only that, but Ayanna and I have this personal connection over a yellow scarf and the weekend that I got engaged to my husband. Ask me about it later. SOOOO, needless to say I was stoked to be a part of their wedding day. Here is a small piece of Ayanna and Junior’s story.

Congratulations Ayanna and Junior! Everything was perfect for your wedding day. This is only the beginning. I’m looking forward to seeing how your union will bless the masses. Thank you for trusting Chronicles Photography with the privilege of capturing your day!
