Once upon a time Shakinah met her future husband Darmel in a library they were working here in New York. As a tribute to the building blocks of their relationship we decided to shoot their engagement session in the New York Public Library in NYC. It was a joy and pleasure creating their engagement story. We definitely look forward to shooting their wedding later this year. For now enjoy some of our favorites below.
OMG….this is absolutely beautiful!
The engagement pictures are absolutely beautiful!!
I love you both so much… I cannot even begin to put how I feel into words! You guys know that blogging, facebook and tweeting are not my thing, but your absolutely stunning photographs told me that I have give it a shot. I wish you nothing less than the best that life has to offer, not just for the two of you, but for your children (my grandchildren) as well! I am extremely happy and proud to be part of your extended family. ALL MY LOVE, MOTHER/FELICIA/GRAMMY

Kinah and Darmel you both look beautiful in the photos. Kinah I am so proud of the women you have become and my prayer for you is that you will stay in the favor of God will continue to recognize his blessing on you with his mercy and love.
