Tracy and Jermaine's Engagement Photo Shoot

I've heard of writer's block but not photographer's block. I guess I came up with a new phrase :-) I photographed Tracy and Jermaine's engagement photo shoot a few weeks ago and shared their pictures with them before but I just couldn't decide how I wanted to custom edit their pictures and couldn't find a song after searching countless songs to properly represent the emotion I was trying to convey for their slideshow. I eventually called Tracy yesterday and told her what was happening and asked her what her favorite song was. It was Golden. I've never heard of the song or artist before but once I heard it started playing I thought, "I think this is it! :-)" It turned out just perfect and I had no problem custom editing since then. Thanks Tracy and Jermaine for patiently waiting :-) Regrettably, this might be the last you will see of them because I am already booked for an overseas wedding on their wedding weekend :-( Tracy and Jermaine are truly a lovely, jovial, down to earth couple and it has been a true pleasure working with you! I wish you only the very best as you are about to take the next step in your commitment to each other! Do check out their slideshow below by clicking on it. Special thanks to Patricia Lafontant (maid of honor at Jamilah and Mauratae's wedding) for the referral! Have a blessed day!

First, I must say I love that song, Golden by:Chrisette Michele. Never heard of her before but did some research and I am loving her music. For you Shells, as always you do an amazing job. The poses, effects and the environment all came together to bring out the love. Continue to do what you do best, keep memories alive! :-)

Thanks a lot Dian :-) It is indeed a wonderful song that is available for purchase as an MP3 on www.amazon.com It is interesting how it all came together. Tracy and Jermaine are a lovely couple and I'm happy that I could have helped to capture this phase of their relationship!
