From the photographer: This Romantic Cinematic Engagement shoot took my breath away.
From its inception, before we ever set foot on the grounds of Parkwood Estate, I knew the moments captured with these two beautiful souls would resonate and captivate. My vision was to capture imagery that would stand the test of time and stand outside of time without a clear decade to pin it to. I was shooting for old world romance meeting modern class.
When asked what the inspiration for her vision was, Grace shared that she wanted their Engagement shoot with me to elevate “Black Excellence” and to celebrate everything the “elegance, grace and gentleness” that her race beholds, and that it is “something that society rarely attributes to black people let alone black couples in love.”
When she shared her vision for it, my imagination was there in a heartbeat to capture what her heart could only see. Jeremiah wore a formal black tux, Grace wore a stunning black velvet gown, handmade for the occasion. It’s not often couples want to take the opportunity of their Engagement Shoot to go one step further and create fine art, so this shoot holds a special place in my heart.
Grace purposefully hand picked the gorgeous period venue of Parkwood Estate for her love story to unfold. Grace is a woman of poise, strength and impeccable taste. Jeremiah, her perfect match on all the levels that matter for a strong marriage, is endearingly stoic; a man of internal fortitude and high moral integrity. Every room they entered felt as if they were the ones holding up the ceiling. They felt like pillars to me, rooted and grounded in their love and confident in who they both were separately and together. Two equal halves that know where they come from and where they are going.
That assurance of character and internal knowing was entirely and all together the most gorgeous thing about them. Together, they are a power couple. One I am sure will inspire others to love beautifully they way they do.
