As always dedicated!!! HOOLLLLLLAAAA!!!
FORT STEWART WEDDING: GENESE & MICHAEL
Monday, February 7th, 2011“Two Hearts…One Love”…is what they had written on their aisle runner. That statement describes them perfectly. I will never forget the first time I met Genese, talking with her was like speaking to a long time friend. When I met Michael…our comic relief…I knew he truly loved Genese. Through my camera, I could see the love they had for each other and at that moment, I hoped to capture it the way it should be. They celebrated their wedding surrounded by people they love and who they called true friends. As Michael mentioned at the reception, everyone who attended that day were very special to them. That’s the way a new union should be celebrated. Sometimes people lose focus on why they bring people together to celebrate this special moment but it was very clear Genese and Michael had not forgotten.
Thank you Genese and Michael, for including us in your celebration of love; it was truly a privilege and honor to be a part of this special occasion. Shaun and I had a blast!
Genese is gorgeous…gorgeous…gorgeous….and my camera loves her and Michael too!
This is Michael’s twin…his oldest son!

Too cute! He actually made it down the aisle in a straight line! I wonder if I can do that! Hmmm….maybe


Michael will keep you laughing!
The set of photos are some of my favorites from the reception! Everyone had a great time!
It’s time to get DOWN!!!
If you want to see more photos of Genese and Michael check out their engagement session. Please stay tuned for their day after session!
I’M DEDICATED TO YOU MY LOVES!!!! UNTIL NEXT TIME HOLLLLLLAAAAA!!! HUGS AND KISSES
I AM DEDICATED
Thursday, January 6th, 2011Rolling 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!!!!!!!!!
