If you let the right people tell it, the odds do not look very promising for women of certain races as it relates to marriage, and things look even worst for women in the church… But you can’t believe everything you hear!  All around me, I see a different story.  From Atlanta to Delaware to DC to St. Marteen to Texas to New Jersey, I see images of people of all colors getting engaged, married, and bringing beautiful children into this world.  I see men that are proud of their women, and women that are proud of their men.  I see men loving their wives in a sacrificial way, and women loving their husbands in a way that brings honor.  I see couples respecting each other and walking together towards their future.  I see couples that can’t wait to share their love for each other with others… and my camera and I just can’t wait to share with you these moments!

In a world that labels violence and celebrity gossip as news, it is good to be able to sift through the haze and find instances of what’s real and true from time to time.  Though there may be marriages that did not work out or even couples that have no intention of making it down to the alter, there are still couples that are moving towards marriage and are making that life-long commitment!  I want to share some of these images with you… and I can’t wait for the others that will follow in the days, weeks, months, and years to come!
