Jessi Blakely for Tamara Lackey Photography: ...which means the weekend is right around the corner. There is a bit of a breeze outside... I hope everyone is able to spend a little time in the sunshine this weekend. I will leave you with this sunny image:)

Jessi Blakely for Tamara Lackey Photography: From the cake toppers that belonged to Craig's grandparents, to the oysters from a friend's oyster pond, every little detail was personal, beautiful and carefully considered. It was a gorgeous wedding on not such a gorgeous day, but the rain held off and we didn't have to move anything inside! Us photographers love diffused, cloudy light and Jen was married outside in front of her closest friends and family. To top things off,

Jessi Blakely for Tamara Lackey Photography: I have known Berta for a long time...and she has known Seth for even longer. We go back to the Durham School of the Arts middle school days, but Berta and Seth take all the way back to kindergarten. About a year and a few months ago I asked Berta and Seth if they would model for me for a shoot I wanted to do...engagement-esque in Duke Gardens on a lovely early spring day. We had a blast...they are so comfortable with each other

One of the many things that I love about photographing weddings is happy brides:) Brides that just can't stop smiling and beaming with joy! Meet Laura, one happy bride! I was lucky to photograph her small, intimate ceremony on the Chesapeake Bay last weekend. It was lovely, simply lovely:)

I am heading to Phoenix, Arizona this January for a double-header in terms of spreading the photography education love :) First off, I'll be co-presenting a (late decided-upon, very late announced!!!) pre-con class at Imaging USA on Friday, January 9th, along with my exceptionally multi-talented teacher/photographer/product creator friend Jesh de Rox. We will presenting a class entitled, "The Client Experience Workflow: Connection, Capture & Post-Processing". We are de

Sasha & Barry are the most adorable couple ever...it's official. I just got teary eyed watching the video of the proposal on their wedding website, again:) They met when Sasha interviewed for a job at Barry's company. Sasha did not get the job, but she got something even better. A date with her future husband. He proposed to her at the airport after she returned home from a trip to Greece with her mom...I love how you can hear people clapping in the background of th

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the incredibly fun and fabulous wedding of Sasha and Barry! This couple is so sweet and loving to each other, it is such a joy to be around them. I had been looking forward to their wedding for what felt like forever. Their reception took place at the incredible Bay 7 that was every bit as cool as I was expecting it to be! Below are two images from the day that I just love:)
