Tonisha Davis and Randy Davis 9/20/2020

Love is beautiful. A wedding is a celebration of that beauty, and that’s why I love to document them. It was no different for Tonisha and Randy. They had their ceremony and reception at the Rollins Edwards Community Center recently.

• The Ceremony

The day was beautiful, and the atmosphere serene at their wedding. The weather was perfect too. It was a moment to remember. The bride wore a black dress to signify strength, class, and power. Everyone’s dressing was based around that too.

• The First Look

Tonisha and Randy had a lovely first look session before their ceremony. Randy was so excited to see her, which made the moment very beautiful. First looks are a great new addition to wedding ceremonies. The wedding industry is gradually moving on from the tradition of the couple, not seeing each other before the ceremony on their wedding day. It is also beneficial for couples who are nervous.

• The Reception

This couple had a fun and beautiful reception after their ceremony. The décor was unique. Their chosen color palette was blush, burgundy, black and white. The couple chose this palette because they loved it. They also did so because it went well with the year when their wedding was held. Fall is an excellent time for darker colors. The floor decal was also stunning and outstanding.

I was able to capture all of this couple’s beautiful moments, and you’ll see them below. I also spoke to them a bit about their relationship, love, and wedding. Here’s what they had to say:

• How Would You Describe Yourselves?

We’re a very fun, hardworking couple who prides ourselves in our family.  We both come from the food and beverage industry. It was easy to get meshed right away. We especially value our communication with each other, even through the hard times. It has been the strongest part of our success.

• Why Did You Choose Rollins Edwards Community Center as The Venue for Your Wedding?

We loved the place. We especially like the patio and the fact that it had a nice kitchen. lol

• How Did I Do at Tonisha And Randy’s Wedding?

I love weddings. So, I am more than relieved that we are finding ways to cope with this pandemic. That means that weddings are gradually coming back as we keep social distancing in mind. Capturing the wedding and Tonisha and Randy was thus a considerable pleasure after a long wait.

I love how united this couple is and how they did not let the pandemic deter them from this huge milestone. Instead, they adapted to circumstances and were still able to celebrate with those most important to them. The love between this couple is genuine and lovely to see.

I loved being a part of their wedding ceremony with all its details and their reception too. Their guests were lovely to work with, and so were their other vendors. Rollins Edwards community center was a great place to host their wedding, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Thank you for letting me a part of your lovely day Mr. and Mrs. Davis. I wish you all the best now and always.
