Jumping the Broom!

A few weeks ago, I photographed an amazingly beautiful wedding!  Perhaps, I was a little biased since the wedding colors were three shades of purple – my favorite color! Nonetheless, the bride had been planning this wedding for over a year, and every detail was planned to the “t.”  In addition to all of the typical wedding traditions, they jumped the broom at the end of the ceremony, which is a tradition that dates back to slavery when blacks were not allowed to officially get married.  Thank God for freedom! It is so good to keep traditions like these to remind of how blessed we are, and where we came from.  Enjoy select images from this wedding below.

I also must make a shout-out here!  This was the first wedding that I brought a second photographer to – my brother, Darren Payne!  He not only was able to catch the moments that I was not able to capture, but he captured some of my favorite images from this wedding – Thank you Darren!
