Nisha & Vladimir-Engagement Shoot

We've been published in Black Bride Magazine! Each of these milestones are so special for Love Daley Photography and I am so excited to share it with you all! Check out www.blackbride.com  to see this beautiful feature. Now here's a little inside scoop on the making of this shoot:

Nisha & Vladimir's shoot was so beautiful, and of course could not have happened had we not had a beautiful couple for the shoot! I loved working with these two creatives from start to finish! (I love love working with couples who can get with my creative flow!) To start, we consulted over the phone to come up with the inspiration for their shoot, from the outfits, to the location, and everything in between. Nisha contacted me on a whim and told me about her vision for a musical inspired session. She explained that while they had tried to execute their vision with another photographer, it just didn't seem to reflect the look they were trying to go for. With both having a love for music, Nisha being a singer and Vladimir a pianist, their heart was set on incorporating this into their session. When she also threw in the fact that they had a love for all things vintage, I knew exactly what we were going to do. Nisha & Vlad must have thought I was crazy when I suggested have a vintage piano brought out to a remote-like location. I could picture her in a stunning gown and Vladimir in a dapper suit standing next to the piano, but I wasn't sure if she would see my vision for their session...but she was game! (Gotta love creatives!) Now for execution, Vladimir saved the day when he figured out how to navigate this awesome piano to our beautiful location, and at that time we were set. The rest is history! I CANNOT wait to photograph the union of these kindred spirits on their special day. I hope you enjoy the behind the scenes info on what led up to be one of the most amazing sessions I have had to date. Enjoy!

Addy & Amir-Engagement Shoot

"You will forever be my always"

Addy & Amir were AMAZING to work with! They had me laughing the entire shoot! They are really a special couple, not just in how they interact...but with the fact that they built their relationship on solid ground. I love everything they stand for and what their relationship symbolizes to one another and most importantly God. Addy and Amir shared their proposal with me, and I am blessed to share it with you:

"It was my birthday and as a tradition we always go big! Well this day was no different! My beloved led me by blind-folded from my home to a “secret” location for dinner (Smith & Wollensky)… After a 45 min drive, we finally arrived. Still blindfolded, I was lead through the busy South Point Beach area with the sounds of on-lookers clapping and waves crashing in the background. After a brief pause, I was serenaded to the sweet sounds of “All of Me” by John Legend, sung by a mutual friend. During this time, my beloved expressed his love and gratitude… my blindfold was then removed, and there he was, on one knee with our family and friends encircling us!!! It was a sweet surprise and best birthday ever!  God is faithful!"-Addy

Katrina & Jamie-Engagement Shoot

"True Love has a habit of coming back"

After 5 years...they were reunited. Jamie and Katrina just couldn't stay away, and will now be saying their I do's very soon! After a sweet house warming party hosted by the beautiful couple, Jamie found himself on one knee at the end of the party, surrounded by friends and family. How could she say no?? It was such an awesome experience working with these two! At first Jamie was a little stingy with his smiles, but after finding out he's in the policing field...it kinda made sense lol We ended up having a great time at our shoot, with plenty of laughter, and I just know you'll see it in the images. Enjoy! xoxo
