It wasn't possible. Or was it? 

Ja's odds weren't good. In fact, as "Mayor of the Friend Zone" since 5th grade, they were bleak at best. More commonly recognized as the scenario where the female's begun to view a male as a friend only and not a potential suitor. It's a psychological classification supposedly exceptionally difficult to undo...even more so when said female is your older sister's confidante. During his sister's birthday bash years later, Ja threw caution to the wind, a shot of liquid courage down the hatch and attempted the exceptionally difficult. He exchanged his nine year secret crush for vulnerability. He got the girl and subsequently resigned as Mayor.

Ja and Bev are wedding photographers in their own right and run Ja Tecson Photography out of Los Angeles, CA.

It was love at first sight...for him anyways. Kiet spent the ensuing two months mustering up the nerve to ask out, an otherwise unsuspecting, Catherine. Once his nerves were summoned, they never left. Walking out of the house without his shoes on, forgetting his wallet, delivering roses and a nervous smile-all within their first few dates. They have almost nothing in common, yet it works. They work. "We compliment each other's differences," Catherine assuredly tells me. Laughter casts a potent spell over a woman. Catherine is no exception. He's pulled off her heart from her sleeve; even without pulling on his shoes.

Emily is probably soaking up married life on the island of St. Martin right now with her handsome husband Rob. I just returned from the Bahamas earlier this week where I photographed their beach wedding...it was special. She's a gorgeous bride, yeah?

Chinedu & Evana's wedding is being featured again on Southern Wedding Style Magazine's blog as the Wedding of the Week. It's worth swinging by since there's a full interview with Evana about her magical day...the ups, downs, tears and cheers. Definitely a good read for any bride-to-be!

I have this thing for Nigerian weddings. I think it's the colors, the people and the culture. Evana and Chinedu's wedding was UN-believable...my latest signature wedding.
