I am pleased to announce our photography gift registry for our brides and grooms!

Our brides and grooms are now able to set up a photography gift registry. The program allows for your friends and family to help pay for your wedding day photography and any additional products you may want to purchase after your wedding. Setting up a photography gift registry can definitely help you increase your budget for your wedding day!

HOW IT WORKS

  1. We will provide you with cards to provide your guests at no additional cost. The gift registry cards will contain a link for guest to purchase gift certificates and instructions.
  2. The gift certificates can be purchased in any amount starting at $30.00.
  3. Gift certificates will be applied to the remaining balance of your wedding services first. Your guests will never know your balance. As gift certificates are purchased we will send an updated invoice to reflect your remaining balance.
  4. Guests will be able to add Gift Certificates to your photography gift registry up to thirty days after your wedding date. Once the registry is closed you will receive a gift certificate with the remaining balance. Couples may use remaining balance to upgrade wedding albums, add on additional services, and any products offered of their choice.

It’s that simple and easy! Very soon will be announcing a gift registry for portrait sessions so stay tuned!

I just wanted to take the time to congratulate Genese and Michael for being one of Jet Magazine’s couples. Their wedding picture was published in the November issue! Check it out!

I AM DEDICATED

January 6, 2011

Rolling eyes and FINALLY….a deep sigh! I tell myself…I can’t do this…maybe this just isn’t my thing. I can’t even keep my focus. I stepped away for days. While I was away, I changed gears and started thinking about want I really wanted.

I made a list of photographers who inspired me to pick up a camera. I stalked their websites for days. I realize what made me fall in love with them and their work…after hours of reading their blogs and viewing their pictures…I remember how much I loved being a bride…I got a glimpse of their personal lives…I felt connected and I have never met any of these photographers before. So I stocked my blog for days…reread posts and pictures…I said to myself…WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE CONNECTION? DO MY BRIDES AND BLOG READERS FEEL A CONNECTION? How could they Toya…. you don’t even see it. I decided it was time for a change.

In order to make this change I needed to reflect on who Toya was and the type of person Toya wanted to be. I decided major changes needed to be made SPIRITUALLY, personally, and professionally.

It’s 2011: TOYA’S YEAR OF CHANGE….Are you ready? I AM!!! So let’s begin…

Spiritually…

I am DEDICATED to reading my bible daily.

I am DEDICATED to personal study.

I am DEDICATED to attending and preparing for my meetings.

I am DEDICATED to the ministry.

Personally…

I am DEDICATED to spending time with my husband.

I am DEDICATED to not being a work-alcoholic.

I am DEDICATED to getting proper rest.

Professionally…

I am DEDICATED to connect with you.

I am DEDICATED to continuously educate myself.

I am DEDICATED to capturing the joy, the tears, and the laughs. DEDICATED to capturing the moment.

I am DEDICATED to provide you with a brand that is dedicated to YOU…Yes to YOU.

I want each and every one of my supporters to know that I appreciate you…I am thankful for you all. Without you guys my business would not be what it is today. Because of your continuous support, I am motivated and determined to be a better and stronger individual and photographer!

The only thing I ask of you guys is to make the effort to connect with me. Join me on Facebook, Twitter, and even Skype (classicphotosbytoya) us! Drop me a comment every now and then on the blog. Ask me some questions. Become friends and extended family!!!

Hugs and kisses to you all…until next time….HOLLLLLLAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!


It was a pleasure meeting Brittani and Victor and photographing them. We has a wonderful session on Savannah’s river front. The couple plans to wed next year here in Savannah. I’m sure it’s going to be a beautiful event. Check out some sneak peaks of their engagement session. This couple made one thing clear…they did not want to look like buddies in their engagement session. I think we achieved that request. ;)
