brentwood estate engagement…stephaine + joseph

I know I know…I’ve been a bad bad blogger girl. The last few weeks have been jam-packed with traveling, shoots and lots of album designing!! But I’m back, and I have so much to share!!  Several weeks ago, in Nashville, I had the pleasure of doing an engagement shoot with Stephaine & Joseph (feels a little strange to call him Joseph, considering he’s the Pastor of one of the largest churches in the South…aka Bishop Joseph Warren Walker III. These two are made for each other, and have such an incredible story…I’m just so happy they found each other. And yes, that’s how Stephaine spells her name…it’s not a typo!! While I’m bummed that I can’t shoot their May wedding because of my craaazy schedule that month, it was fun to connect for this shoot. I know their wedding is going to be FABULOUS!!

PATTIE PAYTON - I DO NOT KNOW THE BISHOP NOR HIS BRIDE TO BE, BUT I HAVE HEARD A NUMBER OF HIS SERMONS THROUGH ELDER TRAVIS NEWTON WHO LIVES IN THE AREA AND WHO DOES ATTEND HIS CHURCH FROM TIME TO TIME. THROUGH ELDER NEWTON I SHARED THE SICKNESS OF HIS BELOVED WIFE AND THE DEATH AND MY HEART TOO WAS HEAVY FOR SUCH A LOST IN THE BISHOP LIFE. I SAW THE BISHOP ON TBN DURING A VALENTINE SPECIAL ONE YEAR AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS SPOUSE AND I FELT SO HURT FOR HIM BECAUSE I COULD FEEL HIS PAIN IN THE VOID OF NOT HAVING HIS PARTNER. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS PRAYED THAT THE LORD WOULD, WHEN IT WAS TIME, SEND A WONDERFUL WOMAN IN HIS LIFE BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAN IS TRUELY A MAN WHO PUT GOD FIRST IN HIS LIFE. I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS YOUNG MAN AND HIS BRIDE TO BE IN MY PRAYER THAT THEY WILL BOTH CONTINUE TO KEEP THE LORD FRIST AND BE TREMENDOUSLY BLESSED IN ALL THAT THEY DO. THEY ARE REALLY A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE.

THANK YOU LORD FOR KEEPING THE BISHOP IN PERFECT PEACE.

Nicky - Congratulations Bishop and First Lady Stephanie. These pictures are magnificent. I visited Mt. Zion for the first time on Easter Sunday 2009 and I enjoyed not only the service but the atmosphere. I am currently a member of Friendship on 32nd Ave by TSU and was invited to your service by my hairstylist who attends your church. I enjoyed every bit of your service and I hope to visit again. Best of luck you two and I hope you have a blessed Wedding day and a Blessed and Happy Mariage.
