Megan & Richard: Married!

Megan & Richard are married and I am so happy for this fun-loving couple! This wedding was wonderful to shoot and I'm so happy I had this opportunity to watch my childhood babysitter grow up instead of her watching me for a change. This day was was full of so much love between family and friends, and the I feel all that was captured! The way Richard looks at his beautiful new wife, the way Megan constantly kisses her handsome new husband just beams with love. They are truly meant, in every way, to be with one another. Megan and Richard had their Christmas wedding at the beautiful Harrison Opera House in Norfolk, Virginia. The venue couldn't be more perfect for their special day! So once again, Megan and Richard, thank you so much for allowing me the beautiful opportunity to capture y'all's beautiful day!

My final project. And I mean, my FINAL project. Whoa, I can't believe that was my last photojournalism class. It took a whole lot to get to this point and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

The idea of my project came from my Grandpa. An inspiring man who strongly believes in never forgetting your roots. He is strongly rooted in his heritage and as a result of him, his children, grandchildren, and even his great-grandchild are proud of their  culture.

I worked with three dance groups, Ballet Folklorico, Bhangra, and Native American, and documented how dance has preserved their culture. Here are some shots I took of Bhangra Elite and Ballet Folklorico Espiritu Latino, to go with the video! I'm so thankful these dance groups accepted me into their groups. They are so dedicated to dancing and proud of their culture. It was very inspiring to work with each group.
