Congratulations, T.I. and Tiny get married in South Florida!

 

The news is out, T.I. and Tiny were married in South Florida this past weekend and I was very blessed to be their official wedding photographer. The ceremony was beautiful, elegant, and full of love. T.I. and Tiny are an amazing couple and I am grateful they chose me to be part of such an intimate part of their lives. The reception was phenomenal! The décor was dramatically exquisite! I can't go into detail because T.I. and Tiny have chosen to keep this part of their highly public life, private (for now). Also, for this reason I can't post any pictures (for now). All I can say is, trust me; this celebration was full of celebrities and glamour! Since Tiny herself divulged this in a recent interview during her husband's movie premiere, I can mention that El DeBarge and Jamie Foxx gave spectacular performances! 

I would like to thank Jordan Victoria of Event Couture, LLC. Her talents were invaluable to this event! Victoria is an amazingly talented woman and I admire her work tremendously. An event of this magnitude is not easy to pull off and she did so with what seemed effortless ease and class.

I would also like to thank the prestigious Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine, as this is where they found me. I can't say enough about how this incredible publication has so profoundly impacted my career.

I can't forget to thank my team Antonio Sanzari (T the Britt) and Lara Rios. You guys Rocked it!

Mind-blowing event!!

 

T.I. has a movie coming out this month, Takers. Ironically enough, he's one of my wife's favorite artists and we are definitely going to make it a date night when it comes out. Goodtimes...
