Meet Michelle and Jamaal. We met up with these high school sweethearts in downtown Jacksonville to shoot their engagement session back in January. Because Michelle and Jamaal live in Atlanta, they booked us over the phone and via email. I was so excited to finally meet them in person. I just had a gut feeling they would be a blast to work with… let me tell you they certainly did not disappoint. Michelle has the sweetest personality and with her great style, how could I not love this girl?!? Jamaal, a former Jaguar player who now plays football for the the Atlanta Falcons, has the most electrifying smile that lights up whenever he looks at his beautiful bride to be. I knew after Michelle told me Jamaal had hired a photographer to capture his proposal that he was my kind of guy.

Although it was quite chilly and windy out, these two didn’t mind one bit. They put up with all our silliness and worked the camera like no ones business. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club this April. I know it will be absolutely stunning and so much fun for everyone involved.

Michelle and Jamaal, thank you for hanging out with us during your visit to Jacksonville. We are so excited to be a part of such a special day in your lives. You two just radiate love when you are together and made our job all too easy. We hope you enjoy the photos and can’t wait to see you again in the spring.

Lots of love to you both,
Mel & Brad
