I have known Kenisha since she was about 7 years old. We've been members of the same church forever. When she asked me to photograph her wedding, I felt greatly honored. And knowing Jevaughn (aka Jay), this wedding was going to be the wedding for the year :D
Kenisha & Jay got married on my son Jaden's first birthday. I guess I'll never forget their anniversary! Although I was sad to leave my son on his birthday, I was excited to be a part of this great event.
----------
The wedding ceremony took place at Promiseland Church of God in West Haven, CT. It was unlike any wedding ceremony I'd ever seen in person. There was a live band and lots of singing.

After Jay walked into the sanctuary, this young lady joined him on stage and sang as the bridal party entered.

The Shoe Game is one of my favorite games to watch being played at a wedding. Sometimes the questions are hilarious, sometimes they're embarrassing. HAHA!

Kenisha put on her second dress, and she looked amazing!
This young lady approached us after the ceremony, letting us know that she watches our vlogs on YouTube. It was so cute watching her 5-month-old get down on the dance floor hehe.
I was so happy to be a part of this special day. May God bless your union, Kenisha & Jevaughn!
